Open Heavens Devotional 10 January 2017:- Proud?

Posted: 08 Jan 2017 11:29 AM PST

PROUD? – Tuesday January 10^th 2017

Memorise: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 1^st Peter 5:5

Read: 1^st Peter 5:5-6 (King James Version)

⁵Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

⁶Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Bible in one year: Matthew 20:21, Isaiah 8, Hymn: Sing hymn 9

MESSAGE:

While seeking God's face towards a particular year's Convention of our church, the Lord asked me to go back to the basics. It was obvious we had forgotten some things, and God wanted to remind us of them. Indeed God's ways are different from our ways; hence the need for us to always humble ourselves before Him. The big things, deep secrets and outstanding thoughts we expect to get from God may not come through the avenues that we think they will follow. There are certain lessons God may want to teach us and He would send us to the ants (Proverbs 6:6)! This shows that He can send you to what you think you cannot get anything from. He can teach you great lessons using a familiar terrain. He can use vessels you consider too junior in the ecclesiastical hierarchy to teach you things that will blow your mind. Open Heavens 10 January 2017:- Proud? This is why you have to remain humble and meek because God can only teach those who are meek.

One thing that can come between you and the divine knowledge that will transform your life is pride. 1^st Peter 5:5 says God resists the proud. The word "resist" in this verse is used in the present continuous tense. To "resist" is to forcefully push back against something. It implies that if you are proud, all your attempts to move closer to God shall be rebuffed by Him. This is why the proud cannot stay on the same platform with God. Are you proud? Today, many people are proud of their achievements: how many members they have in their local church parish, the size of their tithe, how many churches they have planted, how many souls they have won etc. One thing such people forgets is that we can do nothing without Him. John 15:5 says:

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

Some others boast over their wealth, or their privileged office or position, even their beauty and appearance. Some others have become distant from God because of the multiple academic qualifications they have acquired in various disciplines over the years; they forget that knowledge should set you free, and not cut you off from God. Open heavens devotional. Whenever what you know attracts pride into your life, the knowledge has become counter-productive, capable of pushing you into serious trouble. Examine yourself today and ask God to destroy any trace of pride in you.

Key Point

If you allow a benefit that should draw you closer to God to separate you from Him, you are on the path to doom.

Open Heavens 9 January 2016:- Take this ride.

Posted: 08 Jan 2017 10:38 AM PST

TAKE THIS RIDE! – Monday January 9^th 2017

Memorise: The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25

Read: Proverbs 11:24-26 (King James Version)

²⁴There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁶He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

Bible in one year: Matthew 18:19, Isaiah 7:10-25, Hymn: Sing hymn 8

MESSAGE:

For all those who have received the gift of righteousness through the finished work of Calvary, the design of God for our lives is that we live by His favour. The Psalmist spoke prophetically about this in Psalm 5:12:

"For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."

The reality of this was manifested in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 2:52), and the early church also experienced the same (Acts 2:47). However, there are some keys that unlock the door to experiencing God's favour. Open Heavens 9 January 2016:- Take this ride. One of these keys is found in today's Bible reading, which says:

"The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself"

Proverbs 11:25

Before you can access the fatness and abundance you desire from Heaven, you must first learn to give to the Lord what you treasure: your best and your all. This is what brings about the difference in results experienced by a person living by God's favour and a person living by labour; one is definitely easier to achieve than the other. Towards the end of a particular year, one of my sons preached on the difference between labour and favour. He cited two examples: Jacob and Isaac. According to him, when Jacob wanted a wife, he laboured for 14 years before he could get his heartthrob, but when Isaac wanted to marry, he just went on a stroll. One laboured but the other was favoured. I have decided to enjoy divine favour. I am tired of labouring. I want to continually live in the realm of divine favour, and to do so, I will sow as I have never done before, because favour responds to the law of harvest. Open Heavens Devotional 2017

Are you not tired of increase dependent on labour? Why exert everything you have for several years to get a particular blessing, when you can pay a little price through sowing and still get great results in a shorter time, without much stress? One effective way of redeeming the time, as admonished in Ephesians 5:16, is to dump less effective methods for better, faster and less stressful ways of doing things. You are not redeeming the time when you increase only through labour. This implies that so many things will have to wait until you have the strength to work for them. Why go by labour when you rise on the wings of divine favour? Choose the vehicle to your place of destiny today!

Action Point

The price you pay to ride a flight by favour, through sowing seeds, is far cheaper than what you have to pay through labour.

Open Heavens Devotional Sunday 8 January 2017:- pursing things?

Posted: 06 Jan 2017 12:19 PM PST

PURSUING THINGS? – Sunday January 8^th 2017

Memorise: Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Proverbs 23:5

Read: Proverbs 23:4-5 (King James Version)

⁴Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

⁵Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Bible in one year: Matthew 16:17, Isaiah 6:8-7:9, Hymn: Sing hymn 7

MESSAGE:

How you start a year is very important, because it can dictate the tone for the year. But more importantly, how the year ends will be determined by the goals you set and your pursuit of them. Some people start a year with little or nothing but end it in a great way; whereas some other people who start the year with quite a lot have little or nothing to show by the end of it. Why is this so? To get the most out of a year, you need to understand the actions and factors at play in determining the course of the year. One of such actors is God.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Matthew 6:33

At the onset of every year, most people go about seeking material things. They set material goals and device strategies to accomplish them. Open Heavens Devotional Sunday 8 January 2017:- pursing things? Thereafter, they begin a race down the line and shun anything that might affect the realisation of their goals, dreams and aspirations. Yet, at the end of the year, many are still miles apart from the attainment of those goals. Even when they attain their goals, such people are often still left with a great vacuum in their soul that nothing else can fill. This is simply the result of God being left out of the picture in their pursuit of material things.

By its very nature, wealth can be very elusive. Before dissipating so much energy is pursuing wealth like most people will do this year, please consider what the patriarchs of old said about it. King David said that it's possible to heap up wealth for users and spenders you do not know (Psalms 39:6). The patriarchs also said it is very dangerous to put your trust in their riches you have amassed because you can be disappointed by them when you least expect it. (Psalm 62:10, Proverbs 11:28). The preacher in Proverbs 23:5 further adds that riches can suddenly develop wings and take flight from where you think you have kept them securely. Rccg open heavens devotional 2017. Where do they fly to? They fly towards heaven, back to God their original owner. For these reasons, you must put God at the centre of all your pursuits this year so that they can be meaningful. If you choose to seek and pursue after God, you will get the material things of this world with very little effort. This year, be wise! Don't waste your time and effort pursuing things that should be pursuing you.

Key Point

When you run after material things at the expense of a thriving relationship with God, you tell Him to His face that He is not important in your life.

Open Heavens Devotional Saturday 7 January 2017:- Be thou perfect

Posted: 05 Jan 2017 12:24 PM PST

BE THOU PERFECT – Saturday January 7^th 2017

Memorise: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48

Read: Genesis 17:1-9(King James Version)

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

²And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

³And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

⁴As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

⁵Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

⁶And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

⁸And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

⁹And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Bible in one year: Matthew 14-5, Isaiah 5:24-6:7, Hymn: Sing hymn 6

MESSAGE:

There are many misconceptions about God's demand for perfection. These misconceptions have led some people to erroneously conclude that perfection is an unrealistic aim in the Christian walk, and should therefore be abandoned. To debunk this line of thought, our Lord Jesus Christ in today's memory verse re-echoes His Father's demand for our perfection. My prayer is that the power of God will come upon you today, and you will begin to live in perfection as God demands in Jesus' Name. Why do people see God's demand for our perfection as being unattainable? It's because they think that perfection is to be attained by our strength. Open Heavens Devotional Saturday 7 January 2017:- Be thou perfect. However, the truth of the matter is this: if man did not create himself but came to existence through the power and wisdom of God, by this same wisdom and power, God will help him to meet His demands. The problem with such people is unbelief. For this reason, the Bible in Hebrews 11:6 says:

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Unbelief breeds disobedience. The case of the first man and woman shows this. They fell into imperfection through their unbelief in the efficacy and infallibility of God's word! This is in contrast to Abraham, of whom God also demanded perfection, who responded to God's demand in faith. This is why the Scripture say this about him:

"Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

Galatians 3:6

From God's point of view, perfection is total obedience to His instructions in faith. Rccg open heavens. You are perfect if you obey what God asks you to do, even if it seems illogical or is politically incorrect. Obedience in faith brings justification, which is the key to perfection.

Do you find yourself in a state of unbelief? Are you one of those who don't believe perfection is attainable? If you are, you must pray today like the man whose child was tormented by the devils in Mark 9:24:

"And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."

Action Point

The Spirit of Jesus Christ helps us into perfection. Therefore, accept Jesus today and ask Him to give you His Spirit, and His Spirit will make you perfect.

Open Heavens Manual Friday 6 January 2017:- voice from Heaven.

Posted: 04 Jan 2017 01:01 PM PST

VOICE FROM HEAVEN – Friday January 6^th 2017

Memorise: For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33:9

Read: Mark 10:46-52 (King James Version)

⁴⁶And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

⁴⁷And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

⁵⁰And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

⁵²And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Bible in one year: Matthew 13, Isaiah 5:8-23, Hymn: Sing hymn 5

MESSAGE:

In Genesis 1:1-3, the Holy Spirit takes us back in time to the beginning of God's creation. In this account, we are introduced to the voice of God for the very first time. All He said here was "Let there be light", and light immediately appeared. That simple sound from Heaven instantly got rid to darkness. "Let there be light" could mean several things to different people, but basically it means "darkness depart!" In our Bible text, we read of a man who was born blind. He heard that Jesus was passing by, and so he began to cry to the Lord for mercy. He desired to hear a sound from Heaven, and he did all within his power to actualise his desire. "What can I do for you?" Jesus asked, and he answered, saying "Lord, I want my sight restored". The voice from Heaven sounded "Receive your sight", and immediately darkness gave way to light. Similarly, in Mark 5:1-15, the mad man of Gadara who had over 6000 demons living inside him had the opportunity of hearing a sound from Heaven. After he heard it, all those demonic forces in him promptly took their leave. Is your life surrounded now by the powers of darkness? I release the sound from Heaven to you: demonic powers and every form of darkness in your life depart now in the mighty Name of Jesus! Open Heavens Friday 6 January 2017:- voice from Heaven.

Prior to the sounding of the voice from Heaven in Genesis 1:3, there was so much chaos on earth; but immediately it sounded, light appeared and the first day was created. A young man once testified to his encounter with the creative power of the sound from Heaven. He was not only born blind, he also had no eye balls and his eye sockets were empty. One day, a great evangelist organised a week-long crusade in his area, and people daily led him there. (rccg open heavens for today) On the first night of this crusade, the man of God preached about the creative power of God, and the blind man's faith rose. "This is exactly what I need", he said, but he went home still blind. The following morning, while washing his face, he discovered that his eye sockets which used to be very cold because blood never flowed through them now had some warmth. On the second day of the crusade, still nothing happened. But on waking up the following day, in those empty sockets, he felt something bulging. On that third day of the crusade, he heard a sound from Heaven saying "You can now open your eyes", and his eyes were opened. Are your eyes physically shut? The sound from Heaven is saying "Open your eyes now!" Are you spiritually blind? The Lord of Heaven is saying to you, "Eyes be opened now!"

Prayer Point

Every form of darkness in my life and family, depart now!
