Raise the Banner {SEEK DAILY (NBC) Friday, November 11, 2022}

Bible Text: Exodus 17:8-16

Memory Verse: Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. Exodus 17:15, NIV

On October 28th, 312AD, Emperor Constantine marched to the war with His soldiers with the initials of Christ interwoven with a cross written on the shields of his soldiers and the banners they carried. This was as a result of a vision he had on the night before. He claimed he saw a cross-shaped trophy formed from light in the sky with a text which reads “In this sign, you will conquer”. He won the war decisively.

Under the leadership of Joshua and guidance of Moses, the Israelites were confronted with a menacing Amalekites army. It took the divine intervention of God and raising of the rod in the hands of Moses, on the mountain by Aaron and Hur for them to be victorious. In response to the victory and acknowledgment that victory belongs to God, Moses built an altar and called it, “The LORD is my Banner”.

To win the battle of our lives, we must raise the banner of Christ high in all areas of our lives. It is only through the banner of Christ that we can win all battles. It is not by our strength, intelligence or brilliance but by the Spirit and grace of God, that we can overcome the enemy. Raise up the Banner, raise it high!

Insight: Never do anything without God, your Banner.

Prayer: Father, let your banner of victory go with me always.

Topic: WORKERS IN GOD’S FIELD

Bible Text: Matthew 9:35-38

Memory Verse: “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:38, NIV

A farmer once planted seeds on a very large farm with less stress. But when it was time for harvesting the crops, he observed that more labourers would be needed for the harvest. He however employed more labourers who made the harvesting faster, easier and effective.

A large number of people are still wandering in sin because they are yet to hear the gospel. Jesus went around different villages and towns, preaching to people to be saved (vs. 35).

He observed that a large number of them are still held captive by the devil. So, Jesus had compassion on them because they are yet to have Jesus, so as have to eternal life (vs. 36).

He told his disciples to pray that the Lord may raise and send more workers to the harvest field.

Are you saved? God wants you to be saved. He is counting you as his worker that must respond to the call to save the lost.

He wants you to look at the harvest fields around you, family, community and school and bring them back to Him. Reach out to the harvest field today. Do not linger any longer because you will give account.

Insight: He who wins Souls is wise.

Prayer: Lord empower me for greater harvests in your Kingdom.

Topic: Guard Your Heart

TEXT: PROVERBS 4:20-27

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23, NIV

The brain (controlled by the heart) is the equivalent of a human supercomputer. It is more complicated than any computer humankind has ever made, and maximising its ability is essential to becoming the success one wants to be—because it controls who one becomes.

It is the command center involved in and controlling absolutely everything one does. It determines how we think, feel and act.
The passage today, states reasons why we must guard our heart by paying attention to and keeping the Word of God in our hearts.

The reasons are that it:

(i) gives abundant life and good health (vs. 22);

(ii) determines who we will become (vs. 23) ;

( iii) guards our heart and keeps our mouth from corrupt speech (vs. 24);

(iv) helps us to be focused, so we would not fall into evil (vs. 26).

Are you daily guarding your heart with the Word of God? It is impossible to be successful in your Christian life unless you study the Word of God and apply it regularly. Resolve today to cherish more of the Word of God. Let it direct your heart and life.

Insight: The life without God’s Word is like a car without a wheel steering.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me value your Word in my life.

Dare to be different [SEEK DAILY (NBC)]

Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2022

Bible Text: 2 Corinthians. 6: 14-18

Memory Verse: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God…” 2 Corinthians 6:16, NIV

A Christian stands in pure light, and the closer to God he or she gets, the purer the light becomes. He or she is transformed by the light and then becomes a source of that light. Non-Christians are spiritually blind and stand in darkness. A lost person cannot understand spiritual things apart from God. This is the basis for today’s clarion call.

The problem is that many Christians want to stand with one foot in the light and one foot in the darkness. This is what Elmer Towns described as “twilight Zone” and exactly what Apostle Paul warned the Corinthian church against. He made them to realize they have become God’s temple and they must live in a way that there will be a clear difference from those who live for the devil; they must dare to be different.

It’s difficult today to differentiate believers in Christ from people of the world, especially in the way we talk, dress and conduct our business. Are you living as light in the midst of this perverted generation? Can people see you and see the beauty of Christ around you? You can live in this world without getting contaminated with its corrupt practices. Be conscious that you are an ambassador. Receive grace to be a faithful representative of Christ.

Insight: Light and darkness don’t mix.

Prayer: O Lord I receive Your grace to radiate Christ light around me.
