​and learn how their lives can guide you on your own spiritual journey

1. Men of Issachar:

1. The Bible calls them “valiant men of might” (1Chr 7:5).
2. They are part of the “mighty men of David” in war and battle.
3. But they did not use sword or threw javelin.
4. Their might and strength was their “understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1Chr 12:32).

LESSON: Surround yourself with people of physical might but also people endowed with counsels, experience, and wisdom to guide you through life, times, and seasons.

Bible Reading: 1Kngs 12:8,15-16, 2Sam 15:12,31, 2Sam 16:23, Pro 4:5,7, Pro 11:14, Pro 15:22, Pro 16:16, Pro 19:20, Pro 23:23, Pro 24:6.

2. The Berean Christians:

1. They Bible calls them “Noble Men.”
2. This is because “they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Act 17:11).
3. They did not just receive any doctrine or message because Paul, Peter, or a prophet, G.O. Bishop said it.
4. Be like the noble Berean Christians who went home and search the Bible themselves whether those things they heard were so.
5. Always “search the scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (Joh 5:39).

LESSON: Have a “noble heart,” don’t fall into denominational fanatism of believing everything you hear from the pulpit under “my pastor says.” Read the Bible yourself, you’d be surprised how many heresies you’d catch.

Bible Reading:

• “Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1Jn 4:1).
• “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed…” (Gal 1:8-9).
