INSTRUCTION

Text : Pro 4:13.

 *Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.* 

 *There are duties that are basically your call, no matter how long you pray, God will not do for you what He has instructed you to do.* 

Our text says, :

1. *Take fast hold of instruction* : It's clear that the onus is on you to 'take'. To take is to get something into one's hands, or take possession or control of something. Now, the 'something' here is INSTRUCTION. There are some instructions that has been issued expressly to you by God, how well are you holding to them? TAKE FAST HOLD OF INSTRUCTION. 

2. *LET HER NOT GO :* There's a tendency for her to go. There's a tendency for you to forget the lessons you once cherished. *Don't ever disdain the principles you once held valuable simply because you've gained some level of comfort.* 

3. *KEEP HER :* David said 'Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.' Psa 119:11. *If God's words are not kept conscientiously in your heart, sinning against Him will be inevitable.* 

4. *She is your life :* If only you knew that following instruction is a matter of life and death, then you wouldn't toy with any of His instructions. 

The fall of man came about because the first man failed to follow instruction. Note that instructions are given on a daily basis and must be followed on a daily basis too. 

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and *take up his cross daily,* and follow me.Luke 9:23.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I receive the Grace to keep your word in my heart and to follow it daily. 

Bible Reading : Proverbs 4:1-27.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
