Message

A man once swallowed a charm that was supposed to make him wealthy, but he remained poor. On top of that, he was told that he would die after seven years because of the charm he had swallowed. When he had just about two weeks left to live and was already staring death in its face, he ran to the RCCG. When he told us his ordeal, we told him that our God is the Great Deliverer. He gave his life to Christ, and when we said a simple prayer for him, he vomited what he had swallowed. He remained consistent in church for two weeks, rejoicing because of what the Lord had done for him. Then, suddenly, he stopped coming. When we went to check on him, he said,"The herbalist who made the charm for me told me that I swallowed it wrongly." He swallowed another one, and this time, he became very wealthy. The herbalist told him he would live only for seven years to enjoy the wealth, and when the time was about to elapse, he suddenly had a 'brilliant' idea. He decided to relocate to London as he felt that demons could only operate in Africa. Sadly, however, he died on the plane.

My Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, used to say,"Your father will take care of you with whatever he has. If he has evil, he will use it to take care of you, and if he has good, that is what you will get from him." The devil doesn't have anything good in him; if you go to him for anything, be sure that whatever he gives you will be evil. Jesus, however, is the Good Shepherd; whatever comes from Him is always good.

According to today's Bible reading, trusting and depending on God is your access to His goodness. Those who trust in Jesus will receive the power to become sons of God (John 1:12). They will have authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm them (Luke 10:19). No weapon that is fashioned by the devil against them will prosper (lsaiah 54:17), and they will eat the good of the land (lsaiah 1:19).

Beloved, do you depend only on the Good Shepherd? Those who depend on Him are like Mount Zion) regardless of the situation around them, they cannot be shaken (Psalm 125:1). Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart(Psalm 37:4).

Bible In One Year:
Job 17-20

Hymn:
Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me

Reflection:
Do you depend on the Good shepherd for your needs, or do you seek ungodly alternatives?

RCCG Hymn

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the water and the blood.
From Thy riven side which flowed.
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labours of my hands.
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know.
Could my tears for ever flow.
All for sin could not atone.
Thou must save and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress.
Helpless, look to Thee for grace.
Foul, I to the fountain fly
Wash me. Saviour, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath.
When my eyelids close in death.
When I soar to worlds unknown.
See Thee on Thy judgement throne.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
