Open Heavens Devotional Thursday 12 January 2017:- Hidden source of blessing

Posted: 10 Jan 2017 11:46 AM PST

HIDDEN SOURCE OF BLESSING – Thursday 12^th 2017

Memorise: Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Psalm 40:15

Read: Psalm 40:14-17 (KJV)

¹⁴Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

¹⁵Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

¹⁶Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

¹⁷But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Bible in one year: Matthew 24-25, Isaiah 9:13-10:4

MESSAGE:

When you are connected to the All-Sufficient God, you will not lack any good thing. Why? Bible scholars call Him Jehovah El Shaddai. In other words, He is the "Breasted One". A baby sucks from the mother's breasts. Every time the child calls for milk, it is always there. All of your needs can be fully satisfied in Christ. Sometime ago at our church in Ebute Metta (Lagos), I taught that when the Almighty God made this declaration.

"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

John 14:14

What He is actually saying in the original text, according to Bible scholars, is that if you ask anything from Him that He does not have, He will create it for you. How marvellous! I once told somebody of this and he in turn shared it with his friend. His friend said to him, "If your God is so powerful, why not ask Him to create for you a cow with four heads." But the man replied, "I don't need a cow with four heads. Open Heavens Thursday 12 January 2017:- Hidden source of blessing. I would rather ask God to give me four cows. If you need the heads, you can have them while I keep the rest. "This season, the All-Sufficient One will be more than sufficient for you! He will meet all of your needs and satisfy you right on time!

From the story of the widow in 1^st Kings 17:8-16, besides the lesson of help coming just in time, and that of help being delivered every day, another lesson the Holy Spirit will have us pay close attention to is the lesson of the source of help being hidden from outsiders. This is absolutely wonderful! When some evil-minded individuals know that you are doing well and blossoming, they will try all they can to discover the secret of your progress so that they can destroy it. Their purpose may be to erase any leverage or advantage you may have over them. Some people have become victims of such evil minds. But when God hides the source of your blessing, your enemies will try in vain to stop you. This was the experience of the widow. Because there was famine in the land, everyone, including this woman, was starving and losing weight. Open Heavens Devotional 2017.

Then God intervened by sending His servant to her and he hid in her house. Suddenly, people saw that she was shining and gaining weight. Her son was looking radian and everything dramatically improved for them, but nobody could tell how. That will be your portion this season! The Lord will turn your situation around for good and hide the source of your change away from every enemy.

Prayer Point

Father, shut the eyes of everyone that would contend with my blessing, so that they will not see it, in Jesus' Name.

Open Heavens Devotional Wednesday 11 January 2017:- Knowing the Father

Posted: 09 Jan 2017 01:35 PM PST

KNOWING THE FATHER – Wednesday January 11^th 2017

Memorise: And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: Genesis 14:19

Read: Genesis 14:17-24 (KJV)

¹⁷And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.

¹⁸And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

¹⁹And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

²⁰And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

²¹And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

²²And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

²³That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

²⁴Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Bible in one year: Matthew 22:23, Isaiah 9:1-12, Hymn: Sing hymn 3

MESSAGE:

The Almighty God is one, yet He manifests Himself as three different persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Different things happen that reveal the multifaceted nature of God's character whenever He manifests Himself as any of these three persons. When God manifests Himself as God the Father, the earth trembles, the hills melt and the enemies scatter (Nahum 1:5). When He manifests as God the Son, He is seen as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29).

He also comes in the likeness of the fourth man who meets you in the fiery

furnace and terminates the power of fire (Daniel 3:25). As God the Son, He

comes as a gentle Person who invites all who are heavy laden to come to Him for

rest (Matthew 11:28). When God manifests as the Holy Spirit, He comes as the

consuming fire (Hebrew 12:29). One man who experienced God as the

consuming fire was Samson. Bound and delivered to his enemies, when the

Holy Spirit came mightily on him, all the cords binding him were immediately

consumed (Judges 15:14). This season, every cord that is tying you to the same

spot shall be consumed by the fire of the Holy Ghost in Jesus' Name.

Moreover, speaking of God the Father, there are several things you need to know about Him; one of which is that He is the one who made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Because He made the heavens and the earth and everything in them, in Genesis 14:19, He is called Possessor of heaven and earth. What a powerful title! You cannot know God as Possessor of heaven and earth and still live in poverty. This title of God was revealed to Abraham through Melchizedek, king of Salem. Even since then, wealth and affluence have existed in Abraham's lineage. You cannot know God the Father as Possessor of heaven and earth and still be homeless. He will definitely create a place for you when you call upon Him. Your knowledge of God as Possessor of heaven and earth will release the power of material possessions to you. Open Heavens Devotional Wednesday 11 January 2017:- Knowing the Father. Do you have any challenge with accommodation? Maybe you have nowhere to lay your head. Jesus in John 14:2^a says this to you:

"In my Father's house are many mansions…"

If you catch this revelation in your spirit, all your accommodation problems can be resolved when you call upon Him. Call upon Him today, and He will sort you out.

Key Point

If all you have is the Possessor of heaven and earth, you have everything.

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.
