BE A PERPETUAL WORSHIPPER! – Sunday May 7 2017

Posted: 05 May 2017 02:23 PM PDT

BE A PERPETUAL WORSHIPPER! – Sunday May 7 2017

Memorise: Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:15

Read: 2^nd Kings 5:8-17 (King James Version)

⁵Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁶In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

⁷For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

⁸And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 5-6, Jeremiah 27:1-15, Hymn: Sing hymn 14

MESSAGE:

If you try to fathom the vastness of the universe and the precision with which all things work together to maintain a balance, you will appreciate the greatness of our God who created it all. When you then contemplate on the micro details of your place in this universe, and how God is still concerned about "little you", showering you with His love, goodness, faithfulness, mercy and grace, you will be left with no other option than to forever worship Him. God deserves our worship. Rccg Devotional message. Worship should not be something you do for a period and then take a break; it should be something you do for the rest of your life. How consistently have you worshipped God? One Bible character who understood this principle of worship is Naaman (2^nd Kings 5:1-17). Naaman had a physical burden that defiled all medication until he met with the man of God, Elisha. He was asked to go to the River Jordan and dip in it seven times. He did this, and was cleansed. Thereafter, He returned to thank God with a lot of money, but the man of God turned down his gifts saying, "freely I received, and freely I give to you." Naaman than requested for some of the soil of the land, so that he could take it back to his homeland and build and altar where he would worship God perpetually. He plainly said to the man of God, "For what your God has done for me, I will serve no other god but your God for the rest of my life."

For a good number of people, God has done several big things for them, and yet they do not have an altar dedicated to worshipping His majesty in their homes. I am not referring to a physical building, but rather a place consecrated to worshipping God and God alone. Some people say that if only they had several rooms, they would dedicate a corner of your room to worshipping Him. Open Heavens 2017 Sunday 7 May 2017:-Be a perpetual worshipper! Sometime ago, the only place I could worship God without distraction was in my bathroom. There I could sing and dance to God without anybody watching. I could jump and do whatever I wanted in my bid to worship Him. With the door locked, it would just be God and I. if you desire to worship God in spirit and in truth, start by getting a place where you can do that in your home. Also, fix a time or times when you will do this, so that the manifest presence of God will always come down at such a time. Get your Bible, hymn book, notebook and anything else that can aid your worship and get on with it. Be a perpetual worshipper of God!

Action Point

Worshipping God is one of the few activities we will continue to do in eternity. Ask God for grace to worship Him continuously and acceptably.

SONS ARE SPIRIT-LED – Saturday May 6th 2017

Posted: 04 May 2017 01:55 PM PDT

SONS ARE SPIRIT-LED – Saturday May 6^th 2017

Memorise: For as many as are led by the Sprit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14

Read: Romans 8:13-14 (King James Version)

¹³For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 4, Jeremiah 26:12-24, Hymn: Sing hymn 15

MESSAGE:

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

John 6:63

To a natural man, the words of Jesus Christ and the message of the cross are all foolishness (1^st Corinthians 2:14). A person who is not living in the Spirit cannot comprehend the message of Jesus Christ because it originates from the Holy Spirit. This is why it takes the Holy Spirit to enlighten the eyes of a natural man's understanding and convict his heart, before he can accept Jesus Christ into his life. To live in the Spirit, you need the Holy Spirit to quicken you. It is His work to make you alive and to strengthen you spiritually. When you are down or tired, if you pray in the spirit long enough, you will find the required strength to undertake the assignment ahead of you. Every assignment that God has for you is the first spiritual and then physical. This is why you cannot effectively perform a divine assignment using only physical means. Even when you have to undertake the physical aspects of a divine assignment, you need spiritual stamina or input to be effective.

Moreover, if you live in the Spirit, you should also be led by the Spirit. Who leads you reveals who owns you (Romans 6:16). Open Heavens 2017 Saturday 6 May 2017:-Sons are spirit led. To understand what it means to be led by the Spirit, read up the account of the operations of the Holy Spirit in the life of Philip in Acts 8:26-40. If you are saved and you barely receive divine guidance from the Holy Spirit, you are still a babe in the Kingdom; but if you are regularly led of the Holy Spirit – meaning you hear His voice and fellow His instructions – then you have most likely attained the level of maturity in the faith where you can be called a son (Hebrews 5:11-14). God is looking for sons and not just babes! There are several Kingdom assignments that God wants to give out, but He is looking for sons to take them up. Sons hear His voice and obey promptly, but babes find it difficult even to recognise God's voice. Rccg Open Heavens 2017. Sons are guided by the Holy Spirit into all truth, because they can accept it and run with it, but babes cannot stand certain truths (John 16:12-13). If there are some truths from God's word that can make you to turn back from following the Lord, you are still a babe and not a son yet. The word of God contains depths of truth. While babes read through it without getting much, sons carefully go step by step through it to harness the volumes of truth contained in it. Are you a babe or a son?

Prayer Point

Father, give me ears that hear Your Spirit, and give me a heart that follows His leading.

Open Heavens Devotional 2017 Friday 4 May 2017:-Any pending vows?

Posted: 03 May 2017 01:23 PM PDT

ANY PENDING VOWS? – Friday May 5^th 2017

Memorise: When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in foots: pay that which thou hast vowed. Ecclesiastes 5:4

Read: Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 (King James Version)

⁴When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

⁵Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

⁶Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 2-3, Jeremiah 25:34-26:11, Hymn: Sing hymn 14

MESSAGE:

Our God is a God of faithfulness and He takes vows seriously (Deuteronomy 7:9). In Genesis 28:20-22, Jacob made a vow to the Lord at a time of distress and uncertainty in his life. Twenty years later, after the Lord had prospered Him, the Lord reminded him of the vow he had made unto Him (Genesis 31:13). Later, the Lord reminded him yet again of his vow and instructed him to move on from where he was to the place where he would fulfil his vow (Genesis 35:1-6). It does not matter how long ago you made a vow, God doesn't forget!

"When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed."

Ecclesiastes 5:4

One of the lessons from the above passage is that you are not compelled to make a vow to God. Open Heavens Devotional 2017 Friday 4 May 2017:-Any pending vows? However, if you do, don't delay in redeeming it, or else God will regard you as a fool. It is important to know that in life; what comes or doesn't come to you will be largely determined by your spiritual standing or status before God. If God sees you as righteous, He will release all the blessings reserved for the righteous upon you, as long as you ask Him. In other words, if your status before God is that of a righteous fellow, God will treat you with respect. He will treat you like he would treat His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who accorded you that righteous standing. However, if you violate His words and that lingers, it can definitely affect your spiritual status and change the way God relates with you. For instance, if you fail to pay your vow after so long a time, your status is changed from that of a righteous person to that of a fool. Eventually, you lose the honour, respect and royal treatment God accords to the righteous. Why? It is because a fool denies the existence of God (Psalms 14:1). In other words, if you believe God exists and is aware of you vow, you would hurriedly redeem it. When you do not pay your vow to Him, you are saying that God does not exist, and this puts you into the same category as King Nebuchadnezzar, who in Daniel 3:15 pompously asked, "Who is that God that can deliver you from my hands?" When God is thrown such a challenge, whether verbally, in thought or through actions, He is forced to accept the challenge and to prove His existence. Vow defaulters call for God's divine hammer to fall on them. Open heavens 2017. Some people make a vow or pledge to God, yet one or two months after God has kept part, they are still dilly-dallying on fulfilling their vow. Are you defaulting in your vows to the Lords? Ask God for forgiveness and immediately set out to redeem them.

Action Point

Take stock of all your pending vows and take steps to redeem them today!

HELP FOR THE HELPLESS – Thursday May 4th 2017

Posted: 02 May 2017 01:26 PM PDT

HELP FOR THE HELPLESS – Thursday May 4^th 2017

Memorise: The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 46:7

Read: Psalm 9:18-20 (King James Version)

^9:18For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

^9:19Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

^9:20Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 1, Jeremiah 25:17-33, Hymn: Sing hymn 4

MESSAGE:

There are general blessings and also personal blessings. I have observed that anytime David wanted to discuss something that was very important to him, he normally personalised it. For instance, in Psalm 23:1, he says,

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

He did not say, "The Lord is our shepherd." He was simply saying, "I can only speak for myself; I don't know about you." I pray that you will experience God as the Good Shepherd, so that you can testify personally and not just by sharing other people's experiences. A shepherd is a person who looks after sheep. One thing you will observe about sheep is that they are very defenceless against predators. They cannot bite, they have no claws, and they cannot run fast; their only defence is the shepherd.

You will agree with me that it is a very frightening thing to be defenceless in a hostile world. It is indeed a horrible feeling to be completely hopeless. When a man is sick, he runs to the doctor hoping to be healed, but when the doctor tries his best and says there is nothing else he can do, the sick becomes hopeless. Open Heavens Devotional 2017 Thursday 4 May 2017:- Help for the helpless. When a man has serious financial problems, he runs to his bank expecting a bail-out, but what will he do when the bank insists on using assets he doesn't have as collateral? In the same way, when a child is sick, he looks up to his parents for help and care, but how will the child feel if his parents tell him that the forces battling against him are beyond their capability? Worst still, imagine how you will feel if your pastor tells you that after praying all manner of prayers, there is nothing more he can do to help you! Open Heavens 2017. It is a terrible thing to feel lonely or forsaken by relatives and loved ones. A man who once experienced such a situation used these words to express his feelings in Psalm 102:6-7:

"I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top."

Have you been in such a situation? Do you feel exposed, naked and prone to shame? Are you facing the worst of times with no one to defend you? Has everyone you thought could help deserted you and now you think life is worthless? I bring you good news today! There is hope for the hopeless and cover for the naked. God is so very close to you, and He will reach out and touch you today. The Lord will make a way for you! Call on Him and tell Him you have no one to help you but Him. Ask Him to help you now. He will answer and turn your situation around for good.

Key Point

When everything else has failed, never give up your hope for a better life; although it may take time, help will surely come.

FINDING ALTERNATIVES? - Wednesday May 3rd 2017

Posted: 01 May 2017 11:33 AM PDT

FINDING ALTERNATIVES? - Wednesday May 3^rd 2017

Memorise: Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7

Read: Genesis 16:1-4 (King James Version)

1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

²And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

³And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

⁴And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

Bible in one year: Numbers 34-36, Jeremiah 25:1-16, Hymn: Sing hymn 4

MESSAGE:

After several years of waiting for God's promise to be fulfilled, Sarah sat down one day, had a long thinking session, and came up with an alternative plan which she presented to Abraham, and He accepted it. She had been barren for several years and was now obviously tired of being in that state; hence, she decided to give Hagar, one of her salves, to her husband hoping to get a child through this arrangement. How mistaken she was! Sarah's experience has a lot to teach contemporary Christians. When God is leading you in a certain direction, or if He has made a promise to you, any contrary opinion or alternative is borne out of impatience, doubt or unbelief. It's when people can no longer wait for God's plan that they come up with their own alternatives. Open Heavens 2017 Wednesday 3 May 2017:-Finding alternatives. One lesson from this story is that man's alternative charts a new course for you, which can take you completely out of God's original plan.

Just like Abraham and Sarah, many people have come up with alternatives that have landed them at destination they never expected. But for God's patience and mercy, the step Abraham and Sarah took was enough to derail from God's original course. Today's open heavens message. The reason why the Holy Spirit says in Proverbs 3:5-6 that you should subordinate your plans under God's will is so that He can guide you along His original plan for your life. Believe it or not, God has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 1:4-5). If you follow this plan, you will definitely obey God's word and remain in His will. God's word never negates His will for your life (James 1:18). The question is, "Are you still in God's plan?"

To keep within God's will, you must be filled with His word and His Spirit, prayerful, watchful, thankful and humble. Why? The natural man within you will always come up with alternatives to God's perfect plan for your life. You need to be watchful because some alternatives may look like the original plan, but in essence, they are miles apart. If you will access God's perfect plan for your life, then you must leave no space for the flesh or the devil to give you an alternative. You must trust, rely on and completely depend upon God. God's choice is always the safe choice. For this reason Proverbs 29:25b says,

"… but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe."

If you depend on God 99% and leave 1% for an alternative, that is enough to derail you. Never reply on what you think you know or your assessment of the situation. No matter how brilliant your ideas may be, God has something better. Bring your plans before God's searchlight and let Him tell you if it's okay or not.

Action Point

Has impatience made you pursue your own alternatives? Stop and beat a retreat today?

GROW IN GIVING – Tuesday May 2nd 2017

Posted: 01 May 2017 10:22 AM PDT

GROW IN GIVING – Tuesday May 2^nd 2017

Memorise: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bossom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38

Read: Luke 6:36-38 (King James Version)

^6:36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

^6:37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

^6:38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Bible in one year: Numbers 32:33, Jeremiah 24, Hymn: Sing hymn 10

MESSAGE:

God is interested in the prosperity of His children. Although He has made His resources available to us, it will take obedience and compliance with His principles to tap into them. To tap into the financial resources of Heaven, you must pay your tithes, give offerings and fulfil your pledges and vows. You must be ready to give, if you want something in return. A while ago, while preaching at a particular church, as I issued some prophetic decrees over the congregation, I noticed that their response of "Amen" was quite loud. Open Heavens Devotional 2017 Tuesday 2 May 2017:-Grow in giving. Then I jokingly said one of them would buy me a new jet, and the loudness of their response nose-dived. Another time, I was in the same church and repeated what I said before; this time, their response was much louder. So I said to them, "You people are different." I perceived that their faith and understanding of giving had grown.

Proverbs 3:9-1-10 says if you can honour God with your first fruits, you will be dazed and amazed at what He would do in your life. It is one thing to have knowledge, and it is another thing to apply it. I once shared with some pastors that your teacher will never teach you all the knows, otherwise he wouldn't be a teacher; but your father will be willing to teach you all the knows, although he may reserve one or two till moments before his death. In other words, there are certain secrets that a person can only get from his or her father, and I would like to share one of those secrets that God has revealed to me with you. One day, while sitting quietly somewhere, God said to me, "Son, what kind of pastor would you like to be?" I replied, saying "Daddy, I am sorry I don't understand the question." He then further asked, "Do you want to be the best or worst, the greatest or least, the richest or poorest pastor?" I told Him I wanted to be the best, greatest and the richest pastor, and He went silent. At a Church programme not long after, the Lord asked again, "Son, what kind of pastor did you say you want to be?" I quickly replied, "The best, the greatest, and the richest," Then He asked me to give the highest denomination in my pocket. I reluctantly obeyed. Rccg Open Heavens 2017. At another meeting, He again asked me the type of pastor I wanted to be, and I responded as before, and He instructed me to double what I normally give as my offering. I easily complied this time around because things had started changing for me since I began to obey His instructions or giving. When I shared this testimony some years ago, someone told me he moved up to giving N10, 000 for every offering. I congratulated him and told him I was at that stage in 1998 but had since surpassed that. Although my giving was sacrificial initially because things were hard for me, I gave glory to God that things are no longer as hard. If you don't grow up in your giving, you may not be enlarged in your receiving.

Prayer Point:

Father, raise more Christ-like leaders to mentor your people, and make me one of such.
