A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: SUNDAY 19TH MAY, 2019
TOPIC: JOHN LENNON: GOD CAN NEVER BE MOCKED!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: (GALATIANS 6:1-10)
In 1966, during his interview with an American magazine, Mr. John Lennon (British singer, songwriter and member of the Beatles – the British rock music group) said: “Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about that. Jesus was OK, but His subjects were too simple! Today, we (members of the Beatles) are more famous than Him.” But you know, the truth is that no man can mock God and share His glory in vain. After making the above statement, Mr. Lennon was fatally shot six times just outside his New York apartment building by Mark David Chapman, a jobless man who had gotten his autograph just a few hours earlier.
Yes, he said Christianity would end, but the good news is that the Beatles musical group, which was the most famous rock group in the world then, disintegrated and disappeared immediately after the death of Mr. Lennon. Who is more famous today? The Beatles or Jesus?
If not for the sake of their usage in today’s devotional, how many people still remember the Beatles? Oh, man is man and God is God! But do you know that each time you commit secret sins, you are mocking God to see if He is really alive?
Yes, you may not challenge God with your fingers pointed at Him, but does your double lifestyle not challenge His ability to Judge?
Use today’s devotional to repent and determine to live right. Stop mocking God with your lifestyle! Yes, God is merciful and kind, but note that: There is always this one fall that can be the end of God’s mercy for you! There is always this one fall that can be the end of grace for you!
There is always this one fall that can bring you from grace to grass.! You cannot plant a mango and reap an orange! You reap what you sow – today’s scripture Vs. 7. Watch it! Clean up now as you pray seriously!
Remember, the 7-Sundays programme titled: 55 SECRETS OF UNCOMMON SUCCESS – THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY continues today. Venue: Manna Mountain, Ogudu Orioke, Lagos. Lekki Mountain will always be connected. Time: 8am.
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: There’s Not A Friend…
1. Worship the Lord because there is none besides Him.
2. Repent from mocking God in the past by your double lifestyle. Pray about today’s message as it affects you.
3. Lord, revive all the glory in my life. Let nothing else take your place in my life, family and ministry in Jesus name.
4. Lord, disgrace any power that is contending for Your glory in my life/ministry. Pray seriously about your life/ministry now.
5. Pray any other prayer(s) as you are led now.

Song 1: There’s Not A Friend
1. There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our souls’ diseases:
No, not one! No, not one!
Refrain:
Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide ‘til the day is done:
There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! No, not one!
2. No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! No, not one!
3. There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! No, not one!
4. Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! No, not one!
5. Was e’er a gift like the Saviour given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?
No, not one! No, not one!
