TOPIC: THE TRAGEDY OF UNGODLY COMPANY

SCRIPTURE: Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:33.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You lose your godly character when you associate with people with ungodly character.

In one of our previous studies, we saw that character failure is an epidemic in our generation. Character challenge has caused untold harms to the lives of people. Character failure has caused so many misfortunes to people, and in many cases, untimely deaths.

Now, it is important to know that character challenge started from the beginning of times, not long after creation.
The root of character challenge is traceable to Adam and Eve.

Character failure began with the very first man.

Now, I would like to highlight one root of character failure that was responsible for the fall of Adam and Eve.

A major cause of character challenge is company with the enemy. Anyone who keeps the company of the enemy, the unrighteous, and the ungodly will lose character.

Eve began a communication with the serpent from the beginning.

Genesis 3:1 says,
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Eve was in talk with the devil. That was the origin of the collapse of man’s character.

1 Corinthians 15:33 says,
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

It doesn’t matter how good your character is, whenever you decide to engage with the devil or his agents, your character will be lost. You lose your godly character when you associate with people with ungodly character.

Remember this: You lose your godly character when you associate with people with ungodly character.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to keep company, communion and communication with the enemy.
2. Maintain the company of the godly to maintain godly character.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace never to lose my godly character. I receive Your help never to keep the company, communion and communion of the ungodly, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: NO WEAPON FORMED…

SCRIPTURE: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. ISAIAH 54:17.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every tongue or weapon fashioned against your life shall not prosper because you are an unstoppable wind.

Many years ago, as a church, we were preparing to hold a meeting in one of the facilities in town.

The young man we sent to inquire about that facility said that a particular man vowed that it was only over his dead body would we hold our meeting in that facility.

The young man was shaking while telling me what the man at the facility said.

But then, I told the young man, “The man didn’t say anything bad. You misunderstood him. He only said he wanted to die first before the programme could take place. He wants to die before the programme. So, don’t panic.”

And do you know what happened? The man died and the meeting held.
The same weekend we were to hold the programme, he died and the meeting happened at the same facility.

Anytime you see someone jumping on the rail track while a train is advancing, it is either the person is insane or he wants to die. The man had possibly dreamt that he died, and only wanted to actualize the dream.

Our anchor Scripture reveals that, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17
Every tongue or weapon fashioned against your life shall not prosper because you are an unstoppable wind (John 3:8). Even the forces of your father’s house are too limited to stop you. No ungodly government legislation can stop you. No agenda of hell can stop you. The conspiracies of witches and wizards are too useless to stop you.

Remember this: Every tongue or weapon fashioned against your life shall not prosper because you are an unstoppable wind.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Believe and treasure God’s Word to overcome all the plots of the devil.
2. Remain under the Shadow and Cover of the Almighty to be impenetrable by the forces of darkness.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to remain under your Shadow and Cover. I cancel every plot and ploy of the devil against my life and destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR TRIUMPH

SCRIPTURE: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. LUKE 21:15.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.

Our God is the God of purpose and objectivity. He created every organ of our body for specific purposes.

In our study today, we shall explore the function of the mouth.

The question is: what is the function of the mouth?

i. Your mouth is not just a body part; your mouth is a gift from God for your triumph in life.

Luke 21: 15 says,
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.

ii. The mouth is not just for eating food; the mouth is also a weapon of war.

The purpose of the mouth is not just for eating food; your mouth is a weapon of war. Luke 21:15 reveals that God gave you mouth that your enemies cannot resist. You use your mouth to fight and stand against the adversaries. Your mouth is a weapon of war.

iii. Your mouth is designed to communicate the wisdom of God.

From Luke 21:15, we also see that God gave you mouth to communicate His Wisdom. God promised you a mouth and wisdom to disarm your adversaries.
Deuteronomy 30:19 says,
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Your mouth or tongue is the tool for the communication of your choices in life. When you are speaking, you are choosing. Whenever you are talking, you are not just making statements; you are making choices.

Make up your mind to use your mouth wisely and effectively for your victory and triumph in life.

Remember this: When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. See your mouth as God’s gift for your triumph; use your mouth for your victory on earth.
2. Use your mouth to communicate the Wisdom, Excellence and Goodness of God to your generation.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You help me to be purposeful and strategic with my words. I receive the grace never to use my mouth for the damnation of myself and others, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: THE PRIVILEGE OF LIFE

SCRIPTURE: Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; ACTS 17:26.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

It has been established that life is a privilege. It is a privilege because no one woke up in the morning because of the force of their decision to wake up. There were people who slept and could not wake up the following morning. Before they slept, there was no trace of sickness in their body. They slept in health, but woke up in death.

So, life is a privilege. No one is alive because they are too powerful, too wise or too talented to die. No one can be so connected to people that their connections kept them alive.

This means, for every single second we live, we must see life as a privilege, and not a right.

I heard the story of one American president, Theodore Roosevelt. This man was very tough, aggressive, and audacious. He was a man given to adventure; a man who could fight anything.

One day, he slept and died in his sleep. And someone wrote about him and said, “Only in sleep could he have died because if he was awake, he would have fought with death.”
You see, this man was very powerful, but not too powerful to bow for death.

Beloved, life is a privilege; do not abuse the privilege of life. God gave your life to you on trust, and he expects you to maximize it. The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

Beloved, don’t live as though your life is a product of your personal merit. See your life as a privilege, and never abuse the privilege of life.

Remember this: The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Thank God for the privilege of life.
2. Do not abuse the privilege of life; determine to fulfil God’s Purpose for your life.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the privilege of life. I ask that You help me to fulfil the purpose for which You gave me life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: POSSESSING YOUR INHERITANCE BY A FIGHTING SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURE: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. MATTHEW 11:12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

Jacob was a patriarch in Scripture who walked with God. He lived such an exemplary life that made him a good example to follow. He knew the God of his grandfather, Abraham and of his father, Isaac. He also inherited the Blessing of Abraham.

Now, one secret of Jacob was a fighting spirit. Jacob was a fighter per excellence. He was the second child of Isaac after Esau. At a point in his life, he realized that his future was bleak because the Abrahamic covenant blessing on his father, Isaac, was going to be passed on to Esau. This realization made him fight his way into possessing the Blessing.

He sat down and thought, “I cannot watch and be rendered useless in this family.” Along the line, he observed how careless and profane his brother, Esau, was. So, he went ahead and negotiated with Esau and “fightfully” took the birth-right. After that, he went for the Blessing, and took it.

Thus, Jacob got the Covenant Blessing through the engagement of a fighting Spirit.

It did not stop there; 21 years later, he wrestled with an angel for a change of identity.

The angel told him, “Let me go, for the day breaketh”
But he said, “I can’t let you go, unless you bless me. I don’t know when I will see you again. Let us fight it out now.” (Paraphrased).

So, he fought with the angel and his name was changed from Jacob to Israel. Jacob is a person, but Israel is a nation. God seemed to have told him, “You are no more a person; you are now a nation.”

Beloved, if you are willing to fight in the realm of the spirit, God will change your story and identity. It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

Remember this: It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Like Jacob, make up your mind to engage the fighting spirit to possess your God-given inheritance.
2. Persist with God until your change comes.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to persist with You until I prevail in life. I receive a fresh baptism of the fighter’s spirit, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: CONFRONTING EVIL WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS

SCRIPTURE: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. And what is the lion? PROVERBS 28:1.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Godly character imparts audacity and boldness.

Many years ago, I went to one of the states in Nigeria to preach.

An elderly judge came to see me. He told me that he was presiding over a case; it was a case of homicide. The killer or the accused was obviously guilty as charged. This judge was, therefore, pressing the case to charge the guilty person.

The defendant had tried to induce him in order to influence the judgement, but he refused. So, the defendant and his people went diabolical against the judge.

Beloved, this is why everyone in civil or public service needs the fire and protection of God.

The judge said that whenever he went to court and that particular case was called, his hands would start vibrating and he would start shaking.

So, he came to me and said, “Pastor, I need prayer. I want you to pray for me because I have been a judge for almost thirty years. And if I have taken one naira as bribe to influence any case, let their evil work of diabolism prevail against me. But if I have not taken a dime as bribe to influence any case in the course of my entire career, then they would fail.”

That was the audacity or the boldness of positive character. Godly character imparts audacity and boldness. It empowers you to confront every evil and devil working against your life.

When you are upright, you can be bold enough to deal with witches and wizards, and all of the forces of darkness.

Please understand that guilt punctures confidence.

Beloved, receive the grace to maintain godly character that can give you such audacity in the name of Jesus Christ.

Remember this: Godly character imparts audacity and boldness.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Maintain upright character as a weapon to confront the ills and evil of the society.
2. Refuse to deflate your audacity and authority by the lifestyle of iniquity.
