READ: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23

20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 99-102, Romans 13:1-14

MESSAGE:

Jesus Christ is the first in everything – the first to create something as great as the universe out of darkness, the first to resurrect from the dead by Himself, the first to walk on water, the first to turn water into wine, the first to produce eyes et cetera. The Bible records that the universe has its existence in Jesus because all things were made by Him (John 1:3). Deuteronomy 28:13 also says:

“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…”

This is Gods promise to you if you’re His child. He doesn’t want you to be backward for any reason.

It is expected that when two intellectuals marry, they would produce their kind but the opposite was the case of two professors who brought their child for prayers many years ago. The boy, until then, used to have the worst results in his class but we prayed a simple prayer and God turned it around as the boy never failed any exam again. I pray for you today that God will break the yoke of failure in your life and you will be above only, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please make me exceptional in all my endeavours in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: In Christ Alone

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
   He is my light, my strength, my song
   This Cornerstone, this solid ground
   Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
   What heights of love, what depths of peace
   When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
   My Comforter, my All in All
2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
   Fullness of God in helpless babe
   This gift of love and righteousness
   Scorned by the ones He came to save
   ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
   The wrath of God was satisfied
   For every sin on Him was laid
3. There in the ground His body lay
   Light of the world by darkness slain
   Then bursting forth in glorious Day
   Up from the grave He rose again
   And as He stands in victory
   Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
   For I am His and He is mine
   Bought with the precious blood of
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
   This is the power of Christ in me
   From life’s first cry to final breath
   Jesus commands my destiny
   No power of hell, no scheme of man
   Can ever pluck me from His hand
   Till He returns or calls me home
