Open Heavens 2017 Sunday 14 May 2017:-Nineveh’s fasting experience

Posted: 11 May 2017 02:01 PM PDT

NINEVEH'S FASTING EXPERIENCE – Sunday May 14th 2017
Memorise: So the people of Nineveth believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. Jonah 3:5
Read: Jonah 3:1-10 (King James Version)

1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.


5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

 Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 21-22, Jeremiah 31:1-14, Hymn: Sing hymn 6
MESSAGE:
Fasting is a spiritual exercise every believer should often engage in because of the several benefits that can be derived from it. When the Lord was teaching His disciples about fasting during His earthly ministry, what He said to them was "When you fast" and not "If you fast" (Matthew 6:16). The Lord's choice of words shows that He takes it as a given that you will have to fast. However, if you engage in a spiritual exercise such as fasting but lack an understanding of the basis for doing so, you may not be able to optimise your gains from it. In other words, it is important to know why you should fast and to know what you stand to gain from fasting. Knowledge plays a key role here.

Why should you fast? Prayer and fasting can help to restore spiritual fervour in your relationship with God. You can fast whenever you feel estranged or separated from God, whenever your heart is spiritually cold or when you sense that you lack sincerity in your humility. You can also fast as a mark of repentance, and to seek pardon and restoration from sin. Open Heavens Daily Devotional 2017 Sunday 14 May 2017:-Nineveh's fasting experience. Sin separates anyone from God, but if fasting is properly engaged, the estranged fellow can be drawn into God's presence for mercy. If you take a look at Nineveh, you will see the effect of fasting in action. The people of Nineveh lived a very riotous life. They were engaged in several atrocities and abominable acts they called for God's fiery judgment, like it happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. However, because of His righteous and merciful nature, God sent Jonah to go and warn them of His intention to destroy them because of their wickedness. As soon as Jonah sounded the warning, the people of Nineveh received the word and immediately declared a national fast. Nobody was exempted from this fast: the king, the nobles and even all their animals joined in the fast. Besides the fast from food and water, they abstained from all those things that provoked God's anger, humbled themselves and cried out to God for mercy, and He heard them. Jonah 3:10 says,

"And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not."

If you realise you are far from God, you can set aside the things that gives the body pleasure; fast and pray earnestly, and asking God for His mercy and you will see His hand. If done according to heaven's pattern, fasting is an exercise that can easily cause God to notice you as a candidate of His mercy. How often do you fast?  
Key Point
Fasting is a work of faith because it takes faith to fast and pray to a God you cannot physically see.

Open Heavens 2017 Saturday 13 May 2017:-Forbid extension!

Posted: 11 May 2017 01:42 PM PDT

FORBID EXTENSION! – Saturday May 13th 2017
Memorise: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his external glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1st Peter 5:10
Read: Genesis 15:10-15 (King James Version)

10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 18-20, Jeremiah 30:10-24, Hymn: Sing hymn 4
MESSAGE:
One assurance you have as a believer is that the boat of your life and endeavours cannot sink. Be assured that every storm, contrary wind and wave that is working against you is only for an appointed time. The Holy Spirit made this clear in 1st Peter 5:10 when He said,

"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you"
Beloved, don't believe the lie of the devil that things will continue to get worse. They will not! Don't believe that the unpleasant situation you find yourself in will persist. It will not! Open Heavens 2017 Saturday 13 May 2017:-Forbid extension! Every pain, sorrow or distress is for a set time and it will definitely expire. After its expiration, the imperfect shall be perfected, the unstable shall be established, the weak shall be strengthened and there shall be divine settlement. These shall be your portion from now in Jesus' Name!

However, sometimes, the devil attempts to extend the period of a trial of faith beyond what was originally sanctioned by God. Today's open heavens message. This is why we need to know God's will concerning a situation and thereafter stand on it. You need to know your kingdom rights and insist on receiving them. The devil is rightly called a thief in John 10:10. He steals what does not belong to him. Any ground you fail to conquer in the Kingdom will be lost to the enemy's camp. Any promise of God you do not know and lay claim to shall be lost to the enemy. How much of God's promises and prophecies do you know? How many of them have you laid claim to? Do you know that God can allow you do through a trial of faith situation for three years, but if you fail to know the exact duration or are not sensitive enough, the devil can take advantage of that situation and prolong the hardship? This was the case in today's reading. God spoken of Abraham's descendants going into slavery in a strange land for a period of 400 years and thereafter they would come out with great wealth; but do you know that by the time the Israelites were delivered, they had spent an extra 30 years in slavery (Exodus 12:40)! Even today, many believers have allowed the devil to enjoy extra time afflicting them. They have moved from the preset trial period to a period of satanic affliction, thinking they are still going through the God-ordained trial of faith. How can you check this? Ask God. Seek His face over it. Use all the weapons you have as a Christian: the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the promises of God and a life of holiness to combat that unpleasant situation. If the situation stops, it means your trial is over      
Prayer Point
Every Satanic extension to my "trial of faith" period is terminated now in Jesus' Name.

Open Heavens 2017 Friday 12 May 2017:-Lesson on Vows

Posted: 10 May 2017 02:05 PM PDT

LESSONS ON VOWS – Friday May 12th 2017
Memorise: That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. Deuteronomy 23:23

Read: Judges 11:29-36 (King James Version)
29 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.


30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hands.

33 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.

36 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 16-17, Jeremiah 29:24-30:9, Hymn: Sing hymn 14
MESSAGE:
Sometimes, some people promise God one thing, but when the time comes to redeem the pledge, they bring something else. Do you think that God does not have records in Heaven? Once you make a pledge to God, don't try to change it. Ecclesiastes 5:6 says,

"Suffer 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?"

After you have committed yourself to a particular thing as a vow, if you later return to say, "It was a slip of the tongue, God will understand", you are only deceiving yourself. Such an excuse is not acceptable to God. God expects you to stand by your word. Hence, as part of the requirements to stand in God's holy place, Psalm 15:4 says if you make a vow, you are expected to do everything possible to redeem it, no matter the cost, sacrifice or inconveniencies involved. Do you have this quality? It is part of the integrity we must have as believers.


Another lesson on vows is that you must be extremely careful before making a vow. Think very well before pledging a commitment to do a particular thing, because once it has gone out of your mouth, you may not be able to beat a retreat. Open Heavens 2017 Friday 12 May 2017:-Lesson on Vows. Some people get carried away with zeal and make a mouth-watering vow but later find it difficult to redeem it. Be careful! Only vow to give up what is within the limit of your capability and not what you know you cannot cope with! The story of Jephthah is a very touching one. He needed victory so badly that he vowed to sacrifice to God whatever first came out of his house to meet him on his return. After the battle was over, as he returned home with great joy, it was his only child – his virgin daughter – that came out first to welcome him. He felt so bad. He realised the rashness of his vow, but he could not turn back from his promise. Finally, one more lesson on vows is that God does not like to hear the voice of vow-defaulters, and He would ultimately destroy their efforts (Ecclesiastes 5:6). Is God fighting you over a vow you have defaulted on? Repent now and restitute. If need be, seek the guidance of a Spirit-filled Christian counsellor or pastor.
Action Point
Unpaid vows are debts that can hinder you from making heaven. Prayerfully recall your unpaid debts and redeem them fast.

Open Heavens Devotional GOD WILL HELP YOU – Thursday May 11th 2017

Posted: 10 May 2017 01:49 PM PDT

GOD WILL HELP YOU – Thursday May 11th 2017
Memorise: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13

Read: Isaiah 41:10-14 (King James Version)
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 13-15, Jeremiah 29:15-23, Hymn: Sing hymn 4
MESSAGE:

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
Psalm 46:1

As we have seen in our previous studies, it is terrible to be lonely and forsaken by relatives and friends, or to be told by your pastors that your problem defiles all spiritual efforts. In that seemingly hopeless, state, God can reach out to you and turn things around. Let us look at some reasons why He will help you. First of all, Isaiah 63:1 says He is mighty to save. In other words, not only is this God the Almighty God, He can equally save in a mighty way. rccg open heaven today topic. This means, not only can He save you from "small" or "medium size" problems, He can also deliver you from problems that have defied all attempted solutions. In Deuteronomy 32:39, the Lord says,

"See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

For this scripture, we understand that He has the final say regarding life and death. Open Heavens Devotional 2017 Thursday 11 May 2017:-God will help you. He is the only One who can tell the fellow that the whole world has condemned to death, "You will surely live." Have you been condemned to death, poverty, sickness or barrenness of any kind? Fear not! This Almighty God will arise because of you, and He shall deliver you today!


Moreover, in today's Bible reading, He made some very powerful promises to you. He says He knows you are weak, helpless and defenceless, but that He will strengthen you. He says He will also help you. He knows the vanity of receiving help from men, hence the reason He says He will help you. God's help is coming your way this season! Expect divine assistance to come your way now! Furthermore, He says He will uphold you. This means no problem or difficulty can swallow you. When God upholds you, you cannot fall. He also promises to disgrace your enemies. Every agent of darkness working against you shall be disgraced today! Furthermore, He says He will confound your enemies. That means they will be so confused that they will not know what they are doing. He says He will reduce them to nothing and cause them to perish. Every sickness or sorrow in your life shall be reduced to nothing in Jesus' Name. Every battle against your life and destiny shall be overturned this season. All those who have risen up against you shall fall for your sake! The Lord will help you! The Lord will fight for you! From now on, you are moving from your point of weakness and vulnerability to a point of power and strength!
Action Point
Receive all the promises discussed in the devotional study with thanking giving. Personalise and confess each of these promises.

MICROWAVE CHRISTIANITY – Wednesday May 10th 2017

Posted: 08 May 2017 01:46 PM PDT

MICROWAVE CHRISTIANITY – Wednesday May 10th 2017

Memorise: And we desire that every one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: Hebrews 6:11
Read: Hebrews 6:1-3 (King James Version)
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this will we do, if God permit.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 11-12, Jeremiah 29:1-14, Hymn: Sing hymn 6
MESSAGE:
In the midst of delay, man often comes up with alternatives to God's original plan or purpose. This is a dangerous thing to do because man's alternative charts a new course, which can completely take the individual concerned out of God's original plan. Also, any such alternative is usually nothing more than just a quick fix compared to God's permanent solution. Speaking to quick fixes, the age we live in encourages that. We live in an age of instant gratification. Most people are no longer interested in any type of process; whatever they want, they want it now! This is what I term the "Microwave Mentality". People are so much in a hurry that they cannot dedicate time to do what they should do properly.

Sadly, the trend of microwave mentality has crept into the Church and has given birth to what I call "Microwave Christianity". Microwave Christianity is doing more harm than good to the Body of Christ. A preacher says, "All you have to do is just believe". Open Heavens Manual 2017 Wednesday 10 May 2017:-Microwave Christianity. The sinner says, "I believe". "Praise God, you are now born again", the preacher replies. He is in so much of a hurry to get the sinner saved that he cannot even tell him or her to confess his or sins to God. Can God save a sinner who has not confessed his or her sins (Romans 10:10)? That is "microwave salvation"! The name of that sinner may be written in the preacher's book or in the register of church members, but is it in the Lamb's Book of Life? What about discipleship? Everything follows the same pattern – microwave! When products of this anomaly are confronted by the storms of life or persecution for their faith, they find it difficult to endure. Isaiah 28:10 reveals to us the pattern we must follow in raising champions for God:

"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little."

In this age of instant gratification, God remains unmoved and unchanged: He still follows His order and timing in raising those He will use. Every spiritual microwave product portends problems, sorrow and regret in the future. From salvation to discipleship, no stage must be skipped. Diligence plays a key role in everything that concerns the Kingdom of God. Hence, Hebrews 6:1 says the elementary principles must be laid first, before you can move onto perfection. If the foundation is tempered with, the product will be unstable. When people are recommended to occupy spiritual positions that they are not spiritually qualified for, those sponsoring them are only creating problems for the future. Are you a product of Microwave Christianity? Go back to the basis and rebuild yourself!  
Key Point
If we fail to diligently fight for the faith that was delivered to us, a time will come when all we would be left with will be fakes!
