Bible verse: Matthew 24:11-12
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Lesson
False prophets are professed to be inspired, and premised the infatuated people deliverance.
They are teachers having, as they said, a message from God but with hidden agenda.
They will tell you that your situation is bad causing you to experience a shaking of your faith.
In all circumstances ask God first, believe God first and allow God to have the final say. No exception!
When you give God the final say you established your faith with Him.
Allow God's word to be the final authority on every situation.

Prayer
Oh Lord, comfort, rescue and have compassion on me when my heart is getting cold and my faith is at the edge of shaking.
Guide me from falling into the traps of false prophets in Jesus name.
Give me the special grace to always praise you and let your unfailing love direct me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Lesson
When all is falling around you and you cannot see the light for the darkness, cast all unto God and believe him.
When troubles and tribulations come your way let your focus be on the almighty Father with thanksgiving.
When you go through a terrible storm where it looks like man is correct and these seems to be no remedy; regroup, refocus, rejoice, give God the final say and have faith in him.
Be careful that you do not allow Satan to distract you from your very purpose in being left in this world.
The Lord is your greatest assurance and you can confidently live in God's love because he will never fail you.

Prayer
May the almighty Father give you the special grace to always praise him.
May God prosper you beyond your greatest immaginations in Jesus name.
Oh Lord remove the garment of lack, and let the testing of my faith produce steadfastness and uncommon favour in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Lesson
You become a witness by sharing the power of the gospel that transforms your life and by sharing
your personal testimonies that describe the changes in your life for placing your faith in Jesus.
If you are going to receive the power of God on your witness, your words and your works, you have to
get your lives in the kind of shape the Lord can bless and use.
Put your faith in our Savior and through the Spirit you will acquire the power and authority needed for your work.

Prayer
For the son of man came to seek and to save what was lost, Oh Lord, I surrender myself to be used as a vessel in seeking and saving souls.
Let the power of God rest on me and let my prayers for the salvation of souls be more effective in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Hebrew 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Lesson
Since Jesus can impart eternal life, make sure that you are right with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Nothing subverts the sovereign will of God.
If we reject God's word and faith in Him we remain dead in sin.
The way to be saved is to acknowledge your guilt of sin, repent and receive the gospel as payment for your sins.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for guiding me thus far and for girding me with your special grace, power and strength.
O living Word of God, speak in me and speak by me, to the Father's glory, the salvation and sanctification of your people in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Philippians 1:27
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Lesson
Courage is a necessity in the gospel-worthy life. It motivates.
You can't strive in defense of the faith as well as standing firm and united with your Christian brethren without courage.
You must both focus on and fulfill the Christian mission and refuse to be apologetic about your faith.
And because of the powerful gospel of Christ, we can always stand firm in full confidence of God's work through it.
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Prayer
Oh Lord, grant me the grace to get the truth of God's word transferred to our lives.
Every effort I make henceforth shall yield multiple result of blessings in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 2:4-5
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Lesson
It is the truth of what we preach that propels the Holy Ghost to working on the listener's minds & souls such an inwardly persuasion and conversion.
Let your preaching and speech be driven with matchless spiritual force indited by the Spirit of God avoiding the methods of the false teachers and prophets.
The divine power accompanying the word, will bring men to believe and allow them to receive the salvation of their souls.


Prayer
I pray that the Spirit of God wonderfully assisted me in my work, both as to words and matter; directing me, what to say, and in what form, in words, not which human wisdom taught, but which the Holy Ghost taught; and accompanying me with your power, to the conversion, comfort, edification, and salvation of many in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 Thessalonians 2:4
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

Lesson
Paul did not have a motive of making financial gain from the Thessalonians.
He did not come to them with a pretext of preaching the gospel in order that he might become wealthy as a result.
He did not aim to teach such doctrines as would flatter people; as would win their applause; or as would gratify their passions or their fancy.
His objective was to declare the truth, and to obtain the approbation of God whatever people might think of it;
Let us emulate Paul and be bold to preach the gospel as directed by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer
Oh Lord, grant me a faith, manifesting itself in obedience to your word, a love which labors and a hope that gives me patience.
As I walk close to you at this time may your love be like a compass that gives me direction.

Bible verse: John 1:46
And Nathaniel said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Phillip said unto him, Come and see.

Lesson
You have been rejected because of your present lifestyle, your present situation, the current problems facing you the unknown future, the failed circumstances, disappointments.
The world have counted you unworthy, a failure, fruitless, futureless, have blackmailed you, trampled on you.
Have, like the lepers, been dumped into uncertainty and thought "nothing good can come out of you".
The Lord is preparing something better and miraculous for you. They will come and witness the glory of God upon your life.

Prayer
Oh Lord, make me a living testimony and let this season be my special season in Jesus name.
Elevate me in the presence of my enemies so they can see your grace, mercy, favor and blessings upon my life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Lesson
The earth is passing away.
For men are already becoming lovers of themselves, lovers of money, blasphemers, unholy, unthankful, unloving, unforgiving, boasters, pride, disobedient to God & parents, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

At this end-time there are more and more violence and hatred within families. Brothers are betraying brothers and father his own children.
Yes! The last days are upon us.
Be vigilant in protecting the spiritual well being of your soul and do not act like the foolish women who had no oil in their vessels.

It is a fact that the Word of God is of eternal significance; quick and powerful, discerning and revealing.
It is the declaration of independence from ignorance and superstition.
It explores, discovers, operates, saves and exposes.
Glory be unto God it shall not pass away.

Prayer
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
May your words be like a lamp that lights my way in Jesus name.
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word in Jesus name - Psalm 119:105-107

Bible verse: 2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Lesson
You need to study, practice and be obedient to the Word to show yourself approved unto God.
You must be a credible teacher of the gospel and be not ashamed to share the word accurately as lead by the Holy Spirit.
Make it your highest priority to be engaged in the breathless pursuit of truth.

Prayer
Oh Lord! make me worthy by cleansing me and filling me with your Holy Spirit.
I have no words to say that have any worth, except those that you give me to say.
Let Your Holy Spirit take full control of me and let Him speak, not me in Jesus name
