TOPIC: Your Personal Score Sheet
FIRE SCRITPURE:
Daniel 5:18-31
OUTLINE
Your score sheet matters. This fact is brought to the fore in today’s devotional A man had a vision which revolutionized and revised his spiritual life. He had prayed many times asking for spiritual power. He did not see any change in his life. He bought books on how to work on the supernatural and found that it did not work.
He bought and read books on “Power From High.” He found that power did not come from anywhere. He tried fasting and prayer. But before he broke his fast, somebody would bring food for him to eat in the dream. This was how he was always breaking his fast in the dream. One night in his room, he prayed and saw a vision of an angel of God who came to him and showed him his mark, as recorded in heaven.
It was as follow: love 2 per cent, patience 1 per cent, gentleness 10 per cent, faith 5 per cent, self-control 3 per cent, evangelism 0 per cent, useful praying 10 per cent, holiness 1 per cent, doubt 30 per cent, love of praise 70 per cent, pride 69 per cent, useless praying 90 per cent, anger 90 per cent, bad thought 80 per cent. It was seriously below standard. The angel that came to show him the paper looked at him, shook his head, folded the paper, threw it at him and went away in anger. What do you weigh in the balance of the Almighty?

God has no regard for persons. Obedience is better than being religious. The Lord is looking for vessels to fill and use. Many vessels have disappointed Him. He is looking for people who will become His battle axe. If you don’t have the joy of salvation, your balance may be reading zero. If you are not interested in soul-winning, your balance may be reading zero.
If you have been avoiding paying your tithes or you have people you don’t greet or against whom you keep malice or you live a life of fornication, your balance may be reading zero. My prayer for you is that God will give you a vision of your standing before Him.
MEMORY VERSE
Luke 12:23 “The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
A life that is without battles can only be found in the graveyard, but as long as you are alive, you will experience all kinds of battles.
PROPHETIC WORD
Every power that has been assigned to steal from you, I command them to be disgraced.
HYMN – Our God, our help in ages past
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men:”
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in following years.
Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
Like flowery fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flowers beneath the mower’s hand
Lie withering ere ’tis night.
