Theme: Deliverance from Death 
Text: Psalm 116:3-4

3 The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”


Troubles and sorrows surround us each day, however we can be delivered by the power of God. Evil and death may surround us yet we are not discouraged so long as we abide in the presence of God. For His Word says, even if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil for He is with us (Psalm 23:4).

It is important to call on God at all times: when you awake, during the day and when you're about to retire to bed. Christ has conquered death and has given us such grace to overcome in His name. Whatever be your pain in life, there's someone able to deliver you from them all. Set your heart and mind unto the Lord. The church which is you and I, needs to understand that, Christ will build us up and not even the gates of hades shall overcome it.


Prayer: Dear Saviour Jesus, I plead Your mercy to deliver us from all deadly pestilence. Restore to us the good of the land and may we see Your glory at all times in Your name have we prayed. AMEN!

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
