O Lord, Discipline Us

O Lord, Discipline Us
Ezekiel 22:23-31 – Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

We are all indicted from this scripture, the Princes [our Leaders], the prophets [our Clergies] and the People [all others that are not Princes or Prophets]. We need to pray for mercy and ask God to discipline us. Let us pray:
  1. Thank God for His love and mercies, and for not allowing us to be destroyed in our evil.
  2. Tell God that you are ready to amend your ways.
  3. Ask God to create in you a new heart that will serve him as He want and not as you want.
  4. Ask God for the spirit of Love so that you won’t do the evils referred to by God in our scripture or any other evil.
  5. Tell God that you don’t want to learn in a hard way but if it be His will to discipline you, let His will be done, so that you soul will be saved.
  6. Pray for all the Princes [Leaders and Rulers in the secular world] that God should give them a new heart and a new spirit.
  7. Ask God to discipline our princes in His will.
  8. Pray for all the Prophets [all clergy and religious leaders irrespective of their religion]. Ask God to constrain them to doing His will and His Son’s will. Ask God to give them a new heart and a new spirit.
  9. Ask God to discipline our prophets in His will.
  10. Ask God to raise up people even you, to be able to stand in the gap.
  11. Intercede for the land that God should have mercy and don’t afflict nor destroy the land.
  12. Begin to appreciate God for doing more than what you have requested. Shalom!
Beloved, start gearing your mind and pray for divine strength as we embark on our annual fasting and prayers from 21st January, 2018 to 4th March, 2018. There are lots to pray for even as the Lord has themed February 2018 as MONTH OF DIVINE SUPPORT – Genesis 24:12. Shalom!

Sheep’s Clothing!

Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
