TOPIC: LIVE BY HIS PRINCIPLES II
BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
MEMORISE: Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. James 2:18
READ: James 2:14-18
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
[15]If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
[16]And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
[17]Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
[18]Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
MESSAGE:
Yesterday, I started teaching on the importance of living by God's principles. Today, I will conclude the teaching.
I thank God for His grace, but I also thank Him for making me study mathematics before I became born again. If there is anything mathematics teaches you, it is that certain formulas will only work if you meet certain conditions. For example, in a right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of two sides will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse. This will always be true, whether on Earth or on the moon. It is foolish for anyone to try to get certain results without first meeting the necessary conditions. Even Jesus Christ had to be baptised by John the Baptist to fulfil one of the conditions for success in His assignment on Earth (Matthew 3:15).
Do you know that there are many people whose breakthroughs have already been released by God, but they are yet to experience it? The door they have been asking God to open was already opened a long time ago; God is only waiting for them to do what they need to do to walk in. Unfortunately, many people are wasting the answers to their prayers just because they refuse to obey simple principles. I have always told my children, even though the Almighty God had said that Sarah would give birth to a son for Abraham and had quickened their dead bodies according to Romans 4:19, if Abraham had not been intimate with her, Isaac would never have been born. Many miracles have already been released by God to many of His children, but instead of them to do what they need to do to get the miracle, they are being mis-spiritual. By mis-spiritual, I mean spirituality in the wrong direction. Can you imagine a couple looking for the fruit of the womb not being intimate with each other, but observing prayer vigils daily? Or a student who has not studied at all, praying all night to pass an exam that is slated for 7am in the morning?
True spirituality does not suspend the senses; in fact, true spirituality births wisdom because wisdom is a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8).

I pray for you today, mis-spirituality will not be your portion, in Jesus' name. The devil will not make you blind to the principles that will birth your breakthrough. You will be inspired to do everything that you need to do to receive all that the Lord has provided for you this season, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT
Father, please show me all I need to do to receive the miracles that you have released to me and give me the grace to do them, in Jesus' name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Jeremiah 22-24
HYMN 21, STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING
1. Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail.
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

3. Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. Proverbs 12:2

Here is the new message from God.
Proverbs 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Controlling one's emotions in difficult situations can be challenging, but here are some tips that may help when someone tries to mess with your emotions:
1. Take a deep breath and pause before responding to the situation.
2. Try to view the situation from a different perspective and consider the other person's point of view.
3. Refrain from reacting impulsively and wait until you have calmed down before responding.
4. Use "I" statements to express how their actions made you feel without blaming or attacking them.
5. Set boundaries and communicate your boundaries clearly and firmly.
6. Focus on finding a solution or compromise rather than escalating the problem.
7. If the situation becomes too overwhelming or stressful, take a break and give yourself time to process your emotions before returning to the situation.

Remember that managing emotions is a skill that takes practice and patience, and it is essential to maintain healthy relationships with others.

Raccoon is a North American mammal that has a distinctive black mask around its eyes and striped tail. They are known for their mischievous and curious nature, and are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on a variety of food sources including fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals. They have a reputation for being adaptable, intelligent, and able to thrive in a range of environments. They are also sometimes kept as pets, although this practice is generally discouraged due to their wild nature and complex needs.
