3 Keypoints From: Rejecting Negative Prophecies (2)

  • Sometimes, a real prophet can prophesy something that you are not comfortable with. God tells us some things sometimes just for our information, or so we can do something about them.
  • Sometimes, negative prophecies can come to you directly from God, either in a dream, trance, or even in an audible voice.
  • The first thing you can do is to cry to God to reverse the prophecy (2 Kings 20:1-11) or get prophet with a higher anointing to cancel the negative prophecy.

  • “Negative prophecies, even when genuine, can be reversed.”

    Memorise: Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. (2 Kings 20:5)

    3 Keypoints From: Rejecting Negative Prophecies (1)

  • When a negative prophecy is from a prophet who genuinely hears from God, the fellow involved can cry to God like Hezekiah did in 2 Kings 20:1-11, and God can decide to change it.
  • False prophets try to plant fear in people with their prophecies; if the people allow fear to take root in their hearts, they have given the prophecies the power and permission they need to be accomplished. (Job 3:25-26)
  • Rather than being afraid, meditate on the word of God that negates the false prophecy and pray to God about it. (2 Timothy 1:7)

  • “Fear will give room for false prophecies to be fulfilled. Believe only in God's word concerning you.”

    Memorise: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)

    2 Keypoints From: Marriage - A Blessing Or A Curse?

  • Marriage can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on what either of the couple allows into their union.
  • If marriage is done in line with God's word, it will be a blessing. However, if either of the couple goes outside the will of God and lets sin in, there will be trouble.

  • “If your marriage is to be a blessing, you and your spouse must truly be born again, living according to God's word. Study the Bible, pray, and evangelise together.”

    Memorise: And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)

    2 Keypoints From: You Cannot Hide From God

  • If no one can hide sins from God, it means no one can avoid the consequences of sins. Rather than trying to hide whatever sins you might have committed, why not change your ways?
  • People hide their sins because they want to appear to all as being righteous. Is it people that will judge them on the last day or God Himself?

  • “If you are a true child of God and you’re hiding your sins and pretending to people, I’m sure the Holy Spirit is telling you to stop the pretence and stop committing those sins. Don’t ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit; listen and obey. God wants to have mercy on you now, and He will give you the grace to live a truly holy life, but you have to repent genuinely from your heart.

    “You can say this short prayer: 'Lord Jesus, I am sorry for indulging in sin, I am ready to live a truly holy life. Please help me Lord, and let me never backslide again, in Jesus’ name I pray.'

    It is impossible to deceive God; He sees you as you really are.

    MEMORISE: Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)

    Prayers For Leaders

  • Father, I thank you for all the leaders in my family, church, state, country, and in every other place. Thank you for their lives, their families, and their well-being.
  • Father, I pray for wisdom for my leaders. Please, let none of them lead us in the wrong direction. Give them the wisdom to know what to do at all times, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please let it be well with our leaders. Take care of all their personal needs so that they will have peace of mind to lead us aright, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please provide all the resources that our leaders need to achieve the goals set ahead of them, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please give our leaders the strength to overcome every obstacle that may stand in the way of the glorious future they are leading us to. Help them to surmount any challenge that confronts them, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please let our leaders have a compassionate heart towards their followers. Let none of them use their position to exploit or oppress their followers, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please don’t let any of our leaders offend you and do things that will bring judgement upon themselves and their followers. Please help them to do your will at all times, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please remove any leader that refuses to do your will. Just as you replaced Saul with David, replace them with people that will do your will, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please let our leaders be good examples to us. Let their conduct and personality set good standards for us to live by, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please let there be unity and peace amongst all our leaders. Let them be united, and give them the wisdom to relate with each other peaceably, in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, please raise righteous leaders to occupy leadership positions so that the people can rejoice, in Jesus’ name.

  • Your personal prayer point for your leaders.

    MEMORISE: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. (Psalm 2:10)

    3 Keypoints From: Created For Him

  • Destiny is not measured by how much money you have or how powerful you become; it is measured by the degree to which you are doing the will of God for your life.
  • It is good to be rich, famous, and powerful, but even when those things come, you will still not be fulfilled unless you do the will of God.
  • Despite becoming the prime minister, if Joseph did not save his family from the famine as God had created him to do (Genesis 45:1-11), he would have been a failure.

  • “A tree that bears fruits for its owner to eat will be taken care of. The owner will give it all the nutrients and care that it needs to flourish. When you pursue God’s will for your life, He will ensure that you never lack any good thing. Ask Him what His purpose for your life is and pursue it.”

    MEMORISE: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (Colossians 1:16)

    4 Keypoints From: Be Wary Of Offence

  • Many Christians take people's love and loyalty for granted; be careful not to disappoint those that love you because you may never regain their love.
  • If someone is willing to make sacrifices for you, take that as a challenge for you to also make sacrifices for them.
  • The worst enemy anyone can have is the enemy within his or her household; an enemy that goes in and out with someone is very dangerous.
  • When you notice that there is something that may offend your brother, call him aside and discuss it with him. (Matthew 5:23-24)

  • “Don't put a stumbling block between yourself and God. (Romans 12:18) As much as it may be in your power, live in peace with everyone around you.”

    Memorise: A brother offended is harder to be won that a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. (Proverbs 18:19)

    3 Keypoints From: Take Heed To Doctrine

  • Doctrines are a major part of your Christian walk. Although they can sometimes appear to be tough to live by, they are codes of conduct that will keep you consecrated.
  • God is always solidly behind doctrines. In fact, (2 Timothy 3:16) says that one of the reasons God gave us Scriptures is so that we can get doctrines from them. (Acts 2:42)
  • Note that you are not to choose which doctrine to follow based on convenience but based on your conviction that the one who brought the doctrine developed it from the Scriptures.

  • “Doctrines are gotten from the Scriptures by the representative of God in the leadership of a denomination. The head of another denomination may not develop a doctrine from that same Scripture, but as long as the fellow whom you call your Father in the Lord develops a doctrine from a Scripture, you have to live by it.”

    MEMORISE: Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. (1 Timothy 4:16)

    4 Keypoints From: Persevere

  • It is good that you resisted temptation yesterday and did not fall, but that is not enough to ensure that you will remain standing until the end.
  • If a believer relaxes because of the things he or she has overcome in the past, it is likely that the fellow will be brought down by future temptations.
  • It is in perseverance that many Christians fail. The devil knows that if he brings temptation to you once, you might not fall.
  • Many people have yielded to fornication and adultery, or fraud in their offices because the oil finished, and they didn’t have extra to keep them on fire. (Proverbs 24:10)

  • “Read your Bible beyond what you need for today, pray longer hours than you need for today, and serve God more fervently than is necessary for today. Doing these will build in you the strength that you need to persevere.”

    MEMORISE: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)

    3 Keypoints From: Who Owns You?

  • Nobody is totally independent; every single person is owned by one spirit or the other.
  • If you are owned by Christ, people will see the character of Christ, which is also known as the fruit of the Spirit, in you. (Galatians 5:22-23)
  • Anyone that God does not own, is owned by the devil. This person will automatically engage in the works of the flesh as listed in (Galatians 5:19-21)

  • “For example, many people who envy think that it is just natural for humans to envy; they don’t know that envy can only stay in their hearts because they are not owned by the One who is Love Himself. (Romans 6:16)

    Based on the fruits of your character, who really owns you?

    MEMORISE: We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:6)

    3 Keypoints From: To Be The Greatest, Serve

  • God doesn't choose people that believe themselves to be the best to lead, He chooses those that are humble enough to serve others. (1 Corinthians 1:27-28)
  • There are people who somehow get to the top without serving, but before long, they will lose their position if they refuse to serve.
  • Do something today in service of your colleagues and/or subordinates. Remain at the top - by serving.

  • “Can you wash the feet of those you are leading? When there is plenty work to be done, can you take the lowest of all the work?”

    Memorise: But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: (Mark 10:43)
