*MEMORISE*
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him
with stringed instruments and organs. Psalms 150:4
*READ* Psalms 150:1-6*
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary:
praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according
to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise
him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him
with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon
the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.
*MESSAGE*
There are many people who think it is only when they
pray to God that help comes down. The greatest
victories that the children of Israel experienced
manifested in an atmosphere of praise. There is
always a point where you don't know what to do again,
especially when you have done all you can. This is the
time when you should begin to dance to the Lord and
praise Him. Paul and Silas were just unjustly thrown
into the prison, when they did not know what to do
next, they turned to praise. The next moment, all
door leading into the prison flung open, not for them
to escape, but for the people to know the potency of
God they were praising. Are you in prison? Do you
think there is something the enemy has stolen from
you? Have you just lost something very precious to
you? Have you just received a sack letter or a
negative medical report? Whatever your case is, just
begin to dance before the Lord. This is a way of
committing God to rise on your behalf.
The moment you begin to dance in the midst of your
situation and circumstances, you are simply telling
the whole world that you are not victim. You are
provoking God to action and when He rises on your
behalf; you become the talk of the town. There are
some people who cannot mind their business, they are
always wondering why people dance the way they
dance. When they see a rich man forgetting his
wealth and dancing before His Maker, they continue
to wonder why the man has forgotten who he is. The
question is who are you before the Almighty God? You
are nothing. If we remove God from your life, there
is nothing else to see.
David understood this and he danced and praised God.
Dancing shows gratitude to the Almighty God. Dancing
is loaded with blessings, when we dance unto the Lord;
He turns our mourning into joy. There are people who
only dance when the Lord has given them a testimony
to share, but those who understand better will
continue to dance even before the arrival of their
miracles.
When you dance before God and you praise Him with
the whole of your heart, you will begin to enjoy divine
favour and there will be a divine acceleration of your
place of celebration. When you praise God, all your
enemies become silenced because your dance will
provoke God to rise in your defence.
It is not the dance of everyone that God will rise
for. It is only the dance of those who worship Him in
spirit and in truth. Sin is the only thing that can stop
Him from rising on your behalf because He is too
pure to behold iniquity.
*PRAYER POINT*
Father,please remove everything that will stop You
from rising on my behalf.

JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST
Memorise:
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God: Romans 8:16
Read : Romans 8:14-17
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage
again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Message
As joint heirs with Christ Jesus, we are to live
according to the direction of the Spirit of God
because we are the children of God. This will
involve having absolute faith in God. It is only
those who have submitted to the will of God that
can be identified as joint heirs with Christ. Those
who allow the flesh and human emotions to rule
over then cannot be called the children of God. As
joint heirs with Christ, it is Christ that determines
the direction of our lives.
As joint heirs, we have tremendous privileges. We
have been adopted by Jesus to have glorious
experiences in life. The implication of this is that
all that God makes available to Jesus can be
equally accessible to us. This is why you need to
have a closer relationship with Him, because it is
the extent of your relationship with Him that
determines your placement in life.
"Those that be planted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish in the courts of our God." Psalms
92:13
You can be anything you want to be before the
Almighty God. You can step beyond the level of
being called a servant to a son. Sons have
tremendous opportunities that servants don't
enjoy. When you are a son of Jesus, you can be
sure that all His goodness and mercy shall follow
you, because those are part of your eternal rights
in Him.
Jesus is the original King maker. While others
may be reigning, He will allow you to rule. While
others are struggling to occupy positions, He may
just choose you to become relevant in the scheme
of things. This we saw in the life of Daniel. Daniel
was never a King, in fact, he witnessed the reign
of three rulers, yet, he was the one calling the
shots. He has access to divine and hidden secrets
of the Most High God. While in Egypt, Pharaoh
was the king, but Joseph was the one in charge.
Even in Potiphars house, everyone was living at
the mercy of Joseph. Jesus can make you reign
over the affairs of men, this is why you must not
allow anything to stage between you and Jesus
Christ. If you have gone astray, He is waiting to
take away your filth as a sinner and cleanse you
to present you as a saint. Calling Abba father
implies your trust in Him, your reliance upon Him
and the fact that you seek your direction through
Him. With this, we will have the witness of the
Holy Spirit that we are truly the sons of God. We
are children of covenant and every covenant of
God concerning you shall be fulfilled in Jesus
name. No matter what we go through, we must
never deviate from Him because if we suffer with
Him, we shall also reign with Him.

Are you a son or a servant ?

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Chorus:
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
Chorus:
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons
of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because
it knew him not. 1 John 3:1

1 Behold , what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons
of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because
it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when
he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see
him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the
law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away
our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that
doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is
righteous.
MESSAGE:
Are you still in charge of your life or have you
surrendered everything to God? Are you still special
before God or have you travelled the path of
rebellion and self-government? Exodus 19:5 says :
*"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and
keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth
is mine"*
Those who are peculiar to God usually appreciate the
previlege of being called children of God. They will
always want to obey the voice of God and walk in His
ways. May you not reject God in Jesus name. The
moment a person rejects God,goodness and mercy will
never come across the path of such a person. As a
peculiar person, you will never experience the
trouble those in the world are experiencing because
you are special to God. As you trust God in all your
ways, you will be exempted from the evil that befalls
those who take over the affairs of their lives
through self-government.
Peculiar people cannot go where others go. They
cannot wear the kind of body revealing clothes that
others wear; they will not fall in love and out like
others do because they governed by the love of God.
They will not sleep when they are to be working, they
will not feast when they are to fast. Total submission
to the will of the Almighty God is what makes an
individual peculiar. Those who are peculiar have
become grafted to Christ and they don't know what
crisis are all about because their God controls
situations and circumstances in their favour. You are
not like others, you are special before God, and only
He can help you show forth the glory He has put
inside of you. As a peculiar person, your ears are
programmed to beat Him,
*"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee,
saying, this is the way, walk in it, when ye turn to the
right hand and when ye turn to the left".*
You will have an undeniable access to the secrets of
God for yourself and the benefit of others. God has
created every one of us with great potentials , but
unfortunately, some people do not realise these
potentials because they refuse to submit their lives
to the Creator. Becoming peculiar starts from
knowing the Lord Jesus and discovering your purpose
in life, you leave the level the level of being just a
believer and you move into the realm of son-ship. At
this level, you become empowered for exploits and
you begin to fulfil destiny in grand-style.

REMEMBER ME, O GOD
MEMORISE:
Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe
not out my good deeds that I have done for the house
of my God, and for the offices thereof. Nehemiah
13:14
Read : Esther 6:1-10
1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he
commanded to bring the book of records of the
chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains,
the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on
the king Ahasuerus.
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath
been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's
servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing
done for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman
was come into the outward court of the king's house,
to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the
gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold,
Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let
him come in.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What
shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth
to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom
would the king delight to do honour more than to
myself?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom
the king delighteth to honour,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king
useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth
upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the
hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that
they may array the man withal whom the king
delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback
through the street of the city, and proclaim before
him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king
delighteth to honour.
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take
the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do
even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the
king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou has
spoken.
MESSAGE:
There are battles to fight here on earth, don't let
anyone ever deceive you that there are no battles.
There is nothing as good and pleasant as when you
commit all theses battles and obstacles into the hand
of God. God is always ready to take action when we
report all our enemies to Him. There are some
people who enjoy carrying our evil acts against the
children of God for no reason. Some people just
cannot stand you being blessed by the God you serve.
Today's passage reveals the conspiracy of Haman
against the anointed of the Lord. I decree that all
conspiracies against your progress shall be scattered
in Jesus name. God needs to always expose your
enemies to you so that you can know how to handle
them. The King could not sleep because God wanted
him to remember someone who had saved his life from
conspiracy. When God remembers you, your long years
if mourning shall turn to joy. When God remembers
you, the stagnation of many years ceases in a day.
One truth the children of God must continue to
remember is that it takes divine remembrance to
daily experience the deliverance of God. One person
that enjoyed the remembrance of God was Hannah.
For so many years, she lived in barrenness, but her
day of remembrance came and the Lord put an end to
her years of barrenness. If you want God to
remember you in your own situation, there is a role
for you to play. You have to call His attention to what
you are going through. Mordecai called the attention
of Esther to the source of their problem and Esther
called the attention of the King and the rest is
history. Every closed mouth equals a closed destiny.
Don't allow your mouth to be closed. When Hannah got
to Shiloh, she made her petition to God and her
request was granted. There is a reader of this
devotional, as you call upon the Lord, He will give you
permanent rest in Jesus name.
A life of holiness is a requirement for anyone who
wants to call upon the Lord. If you are living in sin,
there is no way God will hear you. You have to
surrender your life totally to God, and just like
Esther did, fast,pray and take practical steps under
the divine guidance of God concerning every challenge
you are going through. If a human King could ask for
what could be done to the person in whom he had
delight in, you can imagine what Jesus will do for you
if you seek Him.

HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
thou wilt find a solace there.

for you to play. You have to call His attention to what
you are going through. Mordecai called the attention
of Esther to the source of their problem and Esther
called the attention of the King and the rest is
history. Every closed mouth equals a closed destiny.
Don't allow your mouth to be closed. When Hannah got
to Shiloh, she made her petition to God and her
request was granted. There is a reader of this
devotional, as you call upon the Lord, He will give you
permanent rest in Jesus name.
A life of holiness is a requirement for anyone who
wants to call upon the Lord. If you are living in sin,
there is no way God will hear you. You have to
surrender your life totally to God, and just like
Esther did, fast,pray and take practical steps under
the divine guidance of God concerning every challenge
you are going through. If a human King could ask for
what could be done to the person in whom he had
delight in, you can imagine what Jesus will do for you
if you seek Him.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, please remember me for good.

HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
thou wilt find a solace there.
