TOPIC: Desperate Hunters
FIRE SCRIPTURE-: Mark 6:24-29
MEMORY VERSE: “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
The MESSAGE:
A hunter is a person who chases and kills wild animals for food or pleasure. The weapon used by humans are usually deadly, and they include machetes, guns, arrows, etc. For physical hunters, their targets are animals, but for spiritual hunters, their targets are human beings, especially the children of God. This is because their master, the devil, is our enemy who is determined to destroy the glorious destiny we carry. A good example of their activities is captured in the Fire Scripture. This was recorded in the Bible for us to know that these kind of satanic activities are happening in the spiritual realm. The spiritual hunters are desperate; they see human beings as spiritual animals and Christians as their biggest targets. In Matthew 2:13-16, baby Jesus was desperately hunted for and so many male children were killed as a result of the enemy’s desperation to terminate His destiny.
Beloved, their weapons are spiritual and powerful and in many cases their targets are the heads, the blood, the bones, and organs of their victims. They are in desperate pursuit because they do not want these people to fulfil their destinies and to also depopulate the kingdom of hell. The number of captors they have and the number of victims they have succeeded in destroying determine their promotion in their evil kingdom. Because they do not want their victims to fulfil their destinies, they hunt and kill people’s helpers and children in the womb just to get God angry. They are wild and reckless because in their creed, promotion only comes by the extent of their desperation and wickedness. Their assignment is a “do or die” affair. That is, they work with the spirit of “make sure” and they do not want to report failure to the devil.
So many Christians have fallen victim and we should not be ignorant of this. We have heard reports of how a husband and his wife were driving carefully in their car within town and suddenly, an oncoming vehicle collided with their car. All people in the vehicles lost their lives. We have also heard of bomb blasts that killed several people in some of our cities. How about reports of people complaining of pain in the head or leg, or neck and before getting to the hospital, they died. We have heard of some avoidable air plane crashes that took place because the passengers were targets of these desperate hunters. Why not get angry in your spirit so as to attack them before they hunt you down. If you have seen them pursuing you in the dreams, it is time to reverse the situation around and turn the battle against them and utterly destroy them. Remember this Scripture: “Behold, I give unto you power to thread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” You are well equipped to destroy them and YOUR TIME IS NOW.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH YOUR ENEMIES MAY BE, THEIR STRENGTH CAN NEVER BE COMPARED TO THE VENGEANCE OF GOD.
PROPHETIC WORD:
From today, you shall receive power to turn against your pursuers and destroy them.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Carelessness in my life assigned to hand me over to the devil, die, in Jesus’ name.
2. Every weakness in my foundation that the enemy wants to use to destroy me, I destroy you, in Jesus’ name.
3. Every power that wants to advertise my obituary at all cost, die now, in Jesus’ name.
EVENING
4. Witchcraft powers, that want to use my life for promotion at all cost, die, in Jesus’ name.
5. Song: “O Lord my God arise, let my pursuer flee, into desert today, let my pursuer flee”, in Jesus’ name.
6. Physical and spiritual hunters working with the spirit of “make-sure”, hunting for my life, you are a liar, die, in Jesus’ name.
7. Sword of the hunters, raised to cut off my head and to shed my blood, not my head, not my blood, therefore, arise, cut off the head of your owners and shed their blood, in Jesus’ name.

Topic: This Book of the Law
Memorise: “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”– James 1:25
Read: Deuteronomy 30:10-14 (KJV)
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 1-2, Luke 21:5-28
MESSAGE:
The Bible is indeed a book of law. It is a user’s manual that gives instructions on how best to live our lives successfully. Imagine buying a device you have never used before, only to discover later that the user’s manual is missing! You will either go back to the manufacturer for the manual or try to figure your way around using it. If you go with the latter option, you will have no idea of what you are doing, and if by chance you get the gadget working after playing around with it, you will never fully understand it in its entirety, and so you will not be able to fully optimise its use. That is how it is with our lives. Our lives are like the gadget, and the Bible is the manual meant to give us a step by step guide on how to live our lives. Unlike earthly manuals that you can master within a short time and discard eventually, the Bible is a manual that you will need till you breathe your last breath. As Christians, our physical and spiritual lives are not meant to be average. God expects us to live life at its best, and He has given us the Bible to instruct us on how to achieve this successfully (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Bible is our book of solutions, containing answers to every problem we may face in this world. At a point in time, I was having issue solving a mathematical problem. I was on the right track, but I had so many equations and it was difficult finding a way to solve them all. I decided to take a break and read my Bible. The portion of the Bible I read was where Moses parted the Red Sea. There and then, God told me to solve the problem just as the Red Sea was parted into two. He opened my eyes to see that all the equations could be divided into two categories based on certain qualities. Going by this inspiration, I placed some of the equations on the left and some on the right, and having grouped them this way, the problem was easier to work out. I solved those on the left and those on the right independently, and then I brought them back together again, just as the Red Sea came back together. That was how I solved the difficult problem and got the correct answer.
The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit and can only be understood by His help (2 Corinthians 3:6). The more you chew on the word, the more you will see things like God and become like Him. You need to note however that it is not just about reading the Bible, but also about understanding it through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Whenever you want to study the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand it, and before long, you will have deep insights and see things that no one else has seen. You also need to live by God’s instructions in the Bible, for it is only then that the anointing of good success can be activated in your life (Joshua 1:8).
Key Point:
This Book of the law should never depart out of your mouth: is it part of your daily communication?
Hymn 2: I Need Thee Every Hour
1. I Need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Chorus:
I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh bless me now, my Saviour;
I come to Thee.
2. I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their pow’r
When Thou art nigh.
3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
4. I need Thee every hour;
Teach me Thy will,
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.
5. I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.

Topic: Dumb Sheep, Good Shepherd
Read: Ezekiel 34:7–16, Bible in a Year: Lamentations 1–2; Hebrews 10:1–18
As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. Ezekiel 34:12
My friend Chad spent a year as a shepherd in Wyoming. “Sheep are so dumb that they’ll only eat what is right in front of them,” he told me. “Even if they’ve eaten all the grass in front of them, they won’t turn to look for a fresh patch—they’ll just start eating dirt!”
We laughed, and I couldn’t help but think about how often the Bible compares humans to sheep. No wonder we need a shepherd! But since sheep are so dumb, not just any shepherd will do. Sheep need a shepherd who cares about them. When the prophet Ezekiel wrote to God’s people in exile, captives in Babylon, he compared them to sheep led by bad shepherds. Instead of caring for the flock, Israel’s leaders had exploited them, profiting from them (v. 3) and then leaving them for the wild animals to devour (v. 5).
But they were not without hope. God, the Good Shepherd, promised to rescue them from the leaders who exploited them. He promised to bring them home, put them in lush pastures, and give them rest. He would heal the injured and go after the lost (vv. 11–16). He would banish wild animals, so that His flock would be safe (v. 28).
Members of God’s flock are in need of tender care and direction. How blessed we are to have a Shepherd who is always leading us to green pastures! (v.14).

Topic: Permanence of God’s Law
Text: Exodus 21:12-25 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe“ (Exodus 21:24,25).
MESSAGE:
Jesus teaches on retaliation in Matthew 5:38-39. He states, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” This was not a wanton repudiation of the law, but masterful review to moderate interpersonal relationships amongst brethren.
In our text, we read of the Mosaic laws and punishment pertaining to fighting, murder, sales of human beings and miscarriage caused by another. It concludes in verses 24,25, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
The Lord’s authority confirms His message of the Scripture. God does not change, neither does His word or will. The moral laws are still binding on us. Jesus emphasised finality of the word of God: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” The Law and the prophets refer to the Old Testament. The first five books of the Bible are referred to as the Law. The judicial law is the penalty for breaking the laws of not loving God and man, which will lead the offender to make a sacrifice or be punished.
Jesus came to fulfil the law and not to destroy it. Therefore, all believers must obey these laws. Do to others as you want them to do unto you. How long do you want people to love and accept you? Do so to them. In summary, the laws talk about love for God and neighbour. React to your neighbour in a way that their dignity is not taken away. You cannot overlook the law in your dealings and journey to eternity. The laws are given to us and would be used to judge us.
Thought For The Day: God’s word and judgment abideth forever.

Topic: The Cost of Sin
Scripture: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36
Thought For The Day: It pays to serve God but it costs to serve the devil.
Sin is a destroyer and a person’s wrong desires are the keys to his destruction. A person’s wrong passion is the foundation for his temptation. That is why you must war against any wrong passion trying to creep into your life so that the devil does not use it as bait against you.
Some people’s uncontrollable passion is for money. They love money like Judas Iscariot. When the devil wanted to destroy Judas for instance, he tempted him with money. When he wanted to pull down David and Solomon, he used women. A local adage says, ‘What is sweet in the mouth of a goat is what would kill it’.
Beloved, sinful pleasure comes with a cost. It pays to serve God but it cost to serve the devil. There is no compromise without cost and there is no sinful pleasure without pay both in time and in eternity.
A person who drinks alcohol may be excited at the point of drinking it, but after a short time, he loses control of himself; after a while, the alcohol would begin to affect his marriage and family, then his health which may lead to death.
People have lost their jobs, destinies and lives on the platform of immoral affairs, stealing, etc.
Beloved, is that pleasure worth the pay? Is that compromise worth the cost? Think about it!
Remember this: It pays to serve God but it cost to serve the devil.
Assignments:
1. Examine your life and make amends where necessary.
2. Turn down every invitation to sin or compromise.
3. Make demands on the grace of God to live a holy life.

TOPIC: STAKE YOUR CLAIM
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments…. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. – Psalm 112:1, 3
I’ll never forget the time Gloria discovered that scripture. We didn’t have any money at the time, and the walls in our house were as bare as they could be. But she was ready to decorate. So she took that promise, “Wealth and riches shall be in his house” and laid claim to it by faith.
Suddenly, everywhere we went, someone was giving us a painting or some other little treasure for our house.
Unfortunately, most believers aren’t as quick to believe God for that kind of thing as Gloria was. Some even claim God doesn’t promise us New Testament believers physical prosperity, just spiritual. But the truth is, you can’t separate the two. That’s why Jesus says, “If you’ll seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these [material] things will be added to you.” He knows the spiritual realm and the material realm are connected.
The physical world cannot operate independently from the spiritual world. What happens in one is simply a reflection of what happens in the other.
Obviously, your spiritual standing profoundly affects your financial standing. That’s why, when you get hold of the gospel and begin to prosper spiritually, you can begin to prosper physically and materially as well.
Don’t let anyone talk you out of God’s promises of prosperity. You don’t have to choose between financial and spiritual prosperity. Both belong to you. Lay claim to them by faith. As a born-again child of God, dare to reach out and receive the riches that belong to you!
