ABIAKUM MACBETH The Market Place: The Law of Supply – Philippians 4:19


Lesson aim and Introduction: To encourage brethren to ask from the Lord all that they need by faith

The Market Place could simply be referred to as a place where people go to buy or sell. One thing that is very important in the Market Place is the Law of Supply and Demand which is largely determined by the Value of Exchange (currency). In today’s study, we will examine how this law could be applied toour spiritual Supplies.

Some basic assumptions of Supply:
1.       Suppliers are always ready to supply their products to the market
2.       Suppliers are always willing to supply when demand is high
3.       Suppliers are reluctant to supply when demand is low
4.       Suppliers will cease to be in the market when there is no demand for their products

How do I know God can supply all our need?In our bible text, we are told that God shall supply all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. What this means is that God has in place all that we need and He has also conferred the power of His riches on Jesus to supply all that we need. –Gen 1:1, Matt. 28: 18, John 1:1-3, Eph.3:9, Col.1:16, Rev.4:11, Matt. 7:7, Gen. 22:8, Luke 11:9, James 1:5. Ps. 50:10, Matt. 17:27

Examples of our needs: Healing for the sick, Food for the hungry, Help for the helpless, strength for the weak, money for the poor, rest for those cumbered with loads of care, deliverance for the oppressed, freedom for captives, safety for the unsecured,

A careful examination at the above scripture, the word need is not plural but singular. What this means is that we need just one need met to meet all our needs. That Need is Jesus! ‘I asked God to give me everything so that I could enjoy my life, but God gave me life so that I could enjoy everything’. Jesus is that life – John 4:6

According to assumptions 2 of Supply and Demand, suppliers are always willing to supply when demand is high. Thus, for our need to be met we must make a demand for it by asking in prayers; and when we ask, we must believe that the supplier is capable of supplying all our need and we must be willing to pay a high premium for it – Faith (Trust on the Almighty).

Conclusion: God is always willing to supply all our need if only we can ask by faith –Heb. 11:6. So, whatsoever you need of the Lord, just ask and ask and ask until your joy is full. John 16:24. Making our demand should not be that difficult since we have a Father that can provide all.

Introduction: A portfolio could be described as a group of things, most especially valuable assets that a person holds. There are different types of portfolios: Creative portfolio which includes a set of pieces of creative work intended to demonstrate a person’s ability. Investment portfolio which shows the assets held by a person in an organization which include his or her stocks and other forms of assets.

ABIAKUM MACBETH ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS FOR A VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIFE: Bible Ref. Eph 6: 10- 18

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Essential ingredients for a victorious Christian life are those things that the believer must have or possess if he must live a life of victory. 1Peter 5:8-9 warns us about the devil who is busy going about like a wounded lion looking for whom to destroy.  To have victory over the enemy is not to attack him but rather to resist him. To resist the devil means to give one’s self to his wiles, clever schemes, antics, tricks, manipulations. OUTLINE 1: INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR A VICTORIOUS LIFE: ·          Truth: You shall know the truth…..set you free. This is because the devil is the father of all lies and deception is a cheap track for the believer. ·          Righteousness: Righteousness exalt a nation but sin is a reproach – Prov.13:34 ·          Peace: My peace I leave with you… not as the world giveth John 14:27 ·  ...

ABIAKUM MACBETH SYMBOLISM: Bible Ref: Gen 2:7-9, John 3:14-17, Gal. 5:16-25

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: A.      To show how Adam missed it in the Garden of Eden as a result of sin (disobedience) and how that singular act of rebellion denied him accessed to the Tree of Life. B.       To show how the foundation of Christianity was laid through Faith in Jesus Christ and how anyone who wants to eat of the Tree of Life must come to God by faith. Symbolism is simply the act of using objects or symbols to represent an idea. Symbols are mostly used when trying to explain an abstraction. Jesus Christ in most of his teachings used symbols to explain the mystery of heaven. From our bible text, we are told that the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living soul . Man is therefore made up of three parts: dust (flesh), spirit (breath of life) and the soul. The bible further explains that the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Ed...
