DON’T BE CHEATED IN LIFE
Friday, 11th March 2022
Pastor Victor
2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
If you know the quality of Jesus, you will know that heaven went bankrupt when God gave up Jesus, His only beloved Son. God gave everything He had when He gave up Jesus – there was nothing more to give.

Thursday, 10th March 2022
Pastor Victor
Genesis 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
While Abraham was climbing the mountain to offer Isaac, he did not know that God has already prepared a substitute. As he was about to slay his son, God spoke out from heaven and he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me (Genesis 22:12).

WHEN YOU WALK IN WISDOM IT EXCITES THE HEART OF GOD
Sunday, 6th March 2022
Pastor Victor
Proverbs 23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
This scripture is so powerful. It is amazing we can make God excited. It is as if God gets sad and needs to be made happy. But that’s not so. God is not in a bad mood. However, when we receive and pursue wisdom, God gets excited. It is just like a father who sees his son doing well and walking in wisdom.
As a child of God, you need to walk in this consciousness of being privileged to make God glad by walking in wisdom. This implies that wisdom is vital in our walk with God and He prizes it above many things. Proverbs 4:7 declares that, “wisdom is the principal thing.” The word principal means first or chief in rank, place or time. When we pursue wisdom and receive it, we are pursuing what is most important.

THE CURSE FROM THE MOUNT OF BLESSING (GERIZIM)
Saturday, 5th March 2022
Pastor Victor
Judges 9:7 ¶ And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
This is a very interesting scenario. As at this time Abimelech, son of Gideon, of a concubine from Shechem has just murdered the seventy sons of Gideon except Jotham the youngest who escaped. Jotham heard that the men of Shechem had gone to make Abimelech king over Shechem for Abimelech had convinced the men of Shechem that since he was their flesh and bones, it was better they made him king instead of Gideon’s sons. On hearing about the coronation of Abimelech, Jotham went and stood on Mount Gerizim and cursed Abimelech and the men of Shechem.

LET THE TRUMPET BLOW WHAT THE LAMP SHOWS
Friday, 4th March 2022
Pastor Victor
Judges 7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Midian had oppressed Israel for years prior to the reign of Gideon as a judge in Israel. And God raised Gideon to deliver Israel out of the oppressive hand of the Midianites. Gideon and his men went to fight Midian. On getting to the camp of Midian, they were holding in their hands a lamp and a trumpet. On blowing the trumpet God discomfited the host of the Midianites and they drew their sword against each other and destroyed themselves.
