PRAYER POINTS 28th May – 3rd June 2017
BY / TUESDAY, 30 MAY 2017 / PUBLISHED IN WEEKLY PRAYER POINT
(The Fountain Of Life Church)


1) Psalm 138:8

Let us thank God for Nigeria and how far He has brought her in the democratic process. Pray that God will perfect all that concerns her.

2) Ephesians 4:13

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT - PASTOR NOMTHI

The Word of God has not changed; it is only what the devil does that changes, and he throws things at you to make you shift your focus to what he does rather than on the Word of God. Ignore the devil and focus on the Word. These were the words of Pastor Nomthi Odukoya as she took the promise for the week at the May 28 Sunday service.

PROSPERING BY DILIGENCE

Today’s scripture: Proverbs 13:4

The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

It was Martin Luther who said, “The maid who sweeps her kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays, not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors. The Christian shoemaker does his duty, not by putting little crosses on his shoes, but by making good shoes; because God is interested in good craftsmanship.”

GOD OF INCREASE

Growth and increase are synonymous with God and can only come through unity, as this is where the blessing and increase in the Kingdom is commanded. These were Pastor Taiwo Odukoya’s words to the congregation at the May 28 Sunday service as he spoke on the topic: “God of Increase”. Reading from Ephesians 4:7-16 and Psalm 133, Pastor Taiwo spoke extensively on unity in the body of Christ and the importance of prayer.

GRACE IS ALL ABOUT WHAT CHRIST DID - Dr Mike Okonkwo MFR

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” (Galatians 3:13 KJV)

 

People who depend on following the law to make them right must do everything that is written in the law. If they do not always obey, they are under a curse. So it is clear that no one can be right with God by the law. The only way a person will find life by the law is to obey its commands (every single one of them). Aren’t you excited about Jesus? He took away the curse. You now have access to the blessing without the law.

HELPERS OF DESTINY

Destiny is one of my favourite words because of it's profound spiritual and physical insight. The world has been shaped and remoulded by destiny.

LIVE BY EXAMPLE-Dr Mike Okonkwo MFR

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV)

 

As believers, it is our responsibility to be God’s road sign. People do not care what you say, because actions speak louder than words. Yesterday, we looked at being children’s caretaker, but do you realise that everyone who comes to the Lord through your ministry – be it one-on-one evangelism, crusade, chance meeting or any other way the Lord uses you, is your spiritual son or daughter? The same way you live by example before your natural children you have to do the same before your spiritual children – don’t tell them to pray when you are not praying. Don’t tell them to go on evangelism if you will not go by yourself. Don’t tell them to study the word if you will not study it yourself.

 

As believers, we are the bible the world should read. While living by example to your spiritual children, be the Bible to the world. Let them see Jesus in you; not because you announce that you are a believer, but because your life shows them the Lord. The believers were called Christian in Antioch because they behaved like Him. Their interactions were different, their language was different, the negative things everyone around them did, never contaminated them. People saw them and saw a reflection of Jesus in them and called them little Christs – Christians.

 

Can we see God’s reflection in you? Are you proud to be called a Christian in your neighbourhood? Do your colleagues, friends and family members see you differently? Or do they mock you at your back saying” “if that is a Christian, then I am fine”? Even your immediate family – your spouse, parents and siblings (whichever applies) do they see Jesus in you? If not, then sit back and check yourself. A lion gives birth to a lion, never a goat. If you are not behaving like Christ, then you are none of His. It is not about how long you have been in church, it is about, how well your life reflects Him.

Stop and take a look at yourself in the mirror of the word of God and make the necessary adjustments that your life may show forth His glory.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION FROM THE GENERAL OVERSEER OF GOFAMINT, Pastor (Dr) E. O. Abina FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE

WELCOME TO JUNE, OUR MONTH OF DOUBLE PORTION. (II KINGS 2:9B-10)

“…Elisha said, Please let double portion of your spirit be upon me, so he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you…”

CHILDREN – GOD’S HERITAGE - Dr Mike Okonkwo MFR

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 127:3 (KJV)

For almost the entire month, I have consciously taught on grace. I encourage you not only to read them once, read again and meditate on them. It will help your Christian experience. This weekend we will be celebrating the children. I thank God for the children He has given us in TREM.

Our scripture reading today says they are God’s heritage. In other words, you are only a caretaker. God gave them to you to nurture, mentor and groom. The fact that you have children should not make you feel more important; and as many as are trusting God today, I speak over your life that your desire will come to pass. Don’t give up; hang in there.

TURN YOUR WEAK POINTS TO YOUR WINNING POINTS-Pastor (Dr) E. O. Abina, The General Overseer of GOFAMINT

“And he said, ‘All these things I have kept from my youth’ So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, ‘You still lack one thing, sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come and follow Me’ But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich” (LUKE 18:21-23) (NKJV).

GOD CANNOT USE A DISCOURAGED SERVANT

Prophet T.B. Joshua, just back from Ecuador where he had gone to commission a school built and presented to a community by Emmanuel TV Team, engaged congregants in his usual thought-provoking manner with a message title – God Cannot Use A Discouraged Servant. He emphasized on the fact that God cannot use a discouraged servant, adding that satan has a way of making people overwhelmed, worried. Therefore, we must overcome such attitudes that lead to discouragement.
