Bible Reading: Matthew 13:24-30
24 Jesus told the crowd another story. “Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like,” he said. “A man planted good seed in his field.
25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came. The enemy planted weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 The wheat began to grow and form grain. At the same time, weeds appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him. They said, ‘Sir, didn’t you plant good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull the weeds up?’
29 “‘No,’ the owner answered. ‘While you are pulling up the weeds, you might pull up the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the workers what to do. Here is what I will say to them. First collect the weeds. Tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat. Bring it into my storeroom.”
Bible Reading In One Year: Jeremiah 5-6; 1 Timothy 1:1-20
MESSAGE:
Satanic marks and curses constitutes tares in the life of people. Isaiah 10:27 tells us that these tares can be removed by anointing. But unfortunately, many are not willing to pay the price. If for instance, you are still bed wetting, do you know that God can break this yoke during your personal quiet time with Him?
A man gave his life to Christ after several years of intercession by his younger brother. He started spending so much time alone with God, fellowshipping and praying. Then one day during such fellowships, the presence of the Lord got so strong, he got baptised and started speaking in tongues. He didn’t understand what happened to him, but later it was explained to him that he had been baptised with the Holy Ghost. He became happy and continued fellowshipping with God. Sometimes God’s presence would become so strong that he would fall under anointing while praying alone. In the process, long standing yokes were broken in his life. You too can have this experience. God is not partial, if He could do it for this brother, He can also do it for you.
Key Point:
Fellowship with God constantly and watch Him solve your problems
Hymn: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing
- There shall be showers of blessing
This is the promise of love;
There shall be season refreshing
Sent from the Savior above
Chorus:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drop ’round are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
- There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. - There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us O Lord
Grant to us a refreshing;
Come now and honor Thy Word. - There shall be showers of blessing
Oh that today thy might fall,
Now as to God we are confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
