3 Keypoints From: The Red Sea Must Part

  • Some Christians are relaxed in the place of prayer because they cannot see how close the enemy is to them. The devil doing is doing all he can to win the battle ver them.
  • Don't wait until it is too late; pray now! Don't condone that problem any further; deal with it now.
  • Stop thinking that your solution is with any man when only God can help you. If you call on Him to make a way for you where there is no way, He will do it.

  • Prayer Point: Father, this Red Sea (mention the problem) must part today! Please make a way for me Lord!”

    Memorise: And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. (Genesis 32:24)

    2 Keypoints From: Discipline Shapes Your Future

  • Some potential owners of multinational businesses, trade working on their business ideas for a little more sleep every night.
  • The cost of discipline today is nothing compared to its gains in the future. Don't trade your tomorrow for the short term pleasure of today.

  • Reflection: Am I going through the discipline that is necessary for a better future now?”

    Memorise: Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. (Hebrews 12:11)

    3 Keypoints From: Humility, Pride, And Miracles

  • Notice that everyone who got a miracles from Jesus approached Him in humility. God does not give miracles to proud people. (Matthew 8:2-3,8:5-10,15:22-28,13:54-58)
  • If you are too proud to submit to a man of God, you cannot get a miracle through him. _If you are too big to carry out an instruction because it seems beneath your social status, you cannot get a miracle.
  • If you want a miracle from God, you must put your pride aside and come to Him as a child.

  • “It amazes me that people consult doctors in humility, answering all their questions and surrendering their bodies for examination and treatment, but when they come to God, they act in a proud manner as if they know more than Him.”

    Memorise: And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? (2 Kings 5:13)

    4 Keypoints From: The Believer′s Authority

  • If you are a true child of God, there is nothing on earth that you cannot control. You have complete authority over everything because Psalm 82:6 says that you are a god.
  • If you are a part of God's family, you are a king, and where the word of a king is, there is power. (Ecclesiastes 8:4)
  • If a fellow is not a true child of God and tries to exercise God's authority, he or she will be disgraced like the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13-16).
  • Whatever you use your authority to decree must be in line with the word of God (your Father). A house divided against itself cannot stand. (Matthew 12:25)

  • “If you are a child of God, begin to command what you want in your life and what you don't want out of your life, in Jesus' name.”

    Memorise: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)

    3 Keypoints From: Comfort vs Fellowship

  • If you choose to attend a service online when you can very well attend that service physically, you are forsaking the fellowshipping together with brethren for your comfort.
  • Distractions like phone calls,browsing, eating & drinking, visitors, remembering what you outh to have done; will take your mind completely off the service and make you miss out on what God is doing at that moment.
  • If you are present at a service physically, and everyone around you is praying or worshipping God fervently, the environment around you will be charged; that fire will kindle your own fire too.

  • “God sees your heart; He knows when there is absolutely no way to attend a physical service and when you are choosing comfort over fellowship with the brethren, contrary to his command; He will not encourage you to disobey Him.”

    Memorise: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

    3 Keypoints From: Your Phone vs Your Bible

  • Your phone may easily replace the word of God in your life, and this is quite dangerous because the Bible says that our God is a jealous God. (Exodus 34:14)
  • When you wake up in the morning, do you pick up your phone first or the Bible? Decide to charge our phone far from you and put your bible beside your pillow at bedtime.
  • What do you have more on your mind throughout the day, what you saw on the phone or what you read in the Bible? Delete some apps that you are addicted to, and spend the time in prayers and study of the word of God.

  • “If your heart has been drawn away from God, to bring your heart back to God's word, you will have to exercise a lot of self-control. You must take decisive actions and stick with them.

    Don't allow your phone to become the devil's weapon against your spiritual life.

    Memorise: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3)

    4 Keypoints From: Good Followership (4)

  • No matter how strong leaders may appear to be, they need to be encouraged sometimes by their followers.
  • Speaking words of encouragement, sending gifts, and honouring your leaders in whatever way you can, will help them feel encouraged to keep going, despite the burden of leadership.
  • When God lays it in your heart to do something to encourage your leader, please do not hesitate to do it; it may be the difference between the leader giving up or continuing the work.
  • A good follower will always try to reduce the stress on a leader rather than add to it.

  • “Send a message or buy a gift for your leader today to encourage them for all the work they do and the burdens they bear.”

    MEMORISE: Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; (Romans 15:30)

    2 Keypoints From: Good Followership (3)

  • You must not keep quiet when you see your leader going in the wrong direction; respectfully correct them.
  • In correcting a leader, ensure that it is for the good of the leader and other followers rather than to show that you know better.

  • “Discuss with the leader privately, showing love and respect. Present the matter in a way that will be easy to accept, or find someone that is closer to the leader to present it on your behalf. The leader might find it easier to take the correction form that fellow than from you.

    Memorise: But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. (Galatians 2:11:-14)

    2 Keypoints From: Good Followership (2)

  • Good followers recognise that their leader needs help and seek to provide it before the leader asks for it.
  • Sometimes, supporting your leader will not be convenient. When you step in to help your leader's weakness, others might laugh at you and even call you names.

  • “Some followers, because their leader doesn't know how to keep track of money, start stealing from the accounts instead of helping to manage them. Some others tell people about their leader's weaknesses to discredit them.”

    Never try to take advantage of your leaders' weakness. Help them instead.

    Memorise: But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exodus 17:12)

    3 Keypoints From: The Good Followership (1)

  • Leaders are raised from amongst the followers, so the better the followers, the better the quality of leaders.
  • Submission is one of the greatest attributes that a follower can have. It is different from cooperation.
  • Some follower steal because they are ready to sacrifice the interest of the entire group to satisfy their personal interest.

  • “Some people may say, "I don't steal, I just disobey my leader because I don't like him." This is, however, just as bas as stealing. In Matthew 25:24-30, the servant who was given one talent to trade did not steal the talent also, yet called unfaithful.”

    If you want to be a good leader, you must first be a good follower by obeying your leader and putting common interests above yours.

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