Open Heavens 2017 Sunday 29 January 2017:-Direction for true seekers

Posted: 27 Jan 2017 01:15 PM PST

DIRECTION FOR TRUE SEEKERS – Sunday January 29^th 2017

Memorise: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable with him. Acts 10:35

Read: Acts 10:1-8 (KJV)

1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

²A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

³He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

⁴And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

⁵And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

⁶He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

⁷And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

⁸And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

Bible in one year: Luke 8, Isaiah 26:1-19, Hymn: Sing hymn 11

MESSAGE:

"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient."

Romans 1:27-28

From the scripture above, it is true that nature abhors a vacuum. Your mind was designed to retain the knowledge of God. However, if it is not used for that purpose, do not be surprised that it will become filled with junk and warped reasoning. How true the word of God is throughout the ages! What this scripture foretold centuries ago is exactly what we find being manifested right before our very eyes today. One reason why some people attach themselves to sodomy, lesbianism, bestiality and all kinds of abominable acts today is because they have shut their hearts to the truth of God's word. This includes those gays who profess to be religious. Such people do not have a true, inward relationship with God. Are you battling with evil thoughts? Then fill your mind with the knowledge of God, His word, His ways and His testimonies, and there will be no space for junk and the lies of the devil in it.

Do you know that God is seriously searching for those who are seeking for Him? The Bible in Psalms 14:2 says:

"The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God."

Wherever He finds them, irrespective of the religious sect they belong to, one way or another, He charts a path for them to come out, get to know and serve Him in the right way. Open Heavens 2017 Sunday 29 January 2017:- direction for true seekers. This was the experience of Cornelius. This officer in the Roman army was still practising Judaism after Jesus had come to introduce salvation by faith in Him. Despite the fact that Jesus had come and had finished the work of salvation, and the gospel was being preached, Cornelius continued worshipping God the same way he had always done before. Nevertheless, God saw the sincerity of his desire for Him, and He arranged for Him to meet Apostle Peter, who taught him the new and living way to God. There are people in different faiths who are truly seeking God but are doing so wrongly. Pray that like Cornelius, God will lead them the right way, out of where they are into His kingdom. Open heavens 2017.

Key Point

Having a PhD in an academic discipline does not necessarily make you wise before God. Wisdom comes from seeking God.

Open Heavens 2017 Saturday 28 January 2017:- be thankful

Posted: 26 Jan 2017 03:41 AM PST

BE THANKFUL – Saturday January 28^th 2017

Memorise: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4

Read: Luke 17:11-19 (KJV)

¹¹And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

¹³And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

¹⁶And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁸There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

¹⁹And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Bible in one year: Luke 7, Isaiah 24:21-25:12, Hymn: Sing hymn 17

MESSAGE:

One great expectation of the Almighty God is that man, whom He created in His image and likeness, will appreciate His benevolent deeds to them. It is unfortunate, however, that from generation to generation man has been ungrateful. This is even more pronounced in these last days (Romans 1:21, 2^nd Timothy 3:2). From today's reading, we can see how expectant our Heavenly Father is for us to express appreciation whenever He does us good. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who came to show us the character of the Father, revealed this expectation to us through His reaction when only one leper returned to say "Glory to God in the highest", even though ten were healed.

"And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger."

Luke 17:17-18

When we fail to appreciate God for who He is and for what He continuously does for us, we rob Him of His rightful glory and honour. Indeed, ingratitude is an act of robbery against God. It is also dangerous, because your joy cannot be full if you are unthankful. Open Heavens 2017 Saturday28 January 2017:- be thankful. Of the ten lepers that were healed, the only one we can consider to have received the fullness of joy is the one who returned to give glory to God, because Jesus crowned his healing with wholeness.

There is another dimension to being grateful to God, which has to do with our appreciation of what He did for us when He gave His only begotten Son as atonement for our sins. The only way to show our gratitude for this gift is to accept His offer of salvation, which is free for us but which cost the life of the immaculate Son of God. We must embrace this offer with every sense of gratitude because there are consequences for rejecting it. Hebrews 2:3 says,

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed into us by them that heard him;"

Beloved, the most profound gratitude we can show God, for all the things He has done for us, is to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to live by the ideals He brought from His Father. God bless you as you do so today. Open heavens 2017

Prayer Point

Father, I thank you for the salvation of my soul through Christ, my Lord. Help me to live by His teachings to the glory of your Holy Name.

Open Heavens 2017 Friday 27 January 2017:- pray without ceasing

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 01:06 PM PST

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING – Friday January 27^th 2017

Memorise: And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. Luke 22:40

Read: Luke 18:1-8 (KJV)

1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

²Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

³And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁷And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁸I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Bible in one year: Luke 6, Isaiah 24:1-20, Hymn: Sing hymn 4

MESSAGE:

In 1^st Thessalonians 5:17, the Holy Spirit says this to us "Pray with ceasing". This statement is not a piece of advice but rather a command. The reason why we should obey this command is revealed in the words for our Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples in Luke 22:40^b

"Pray that ye enter not into temptation."

The disciples did not take this admonition seriously for obvious reasons of the sorrow that overwhelmed their hearts after their Master's valedictory speech. This is a lesson to us all that we should not allow circumstances weaken our prayer lives. Open Heavens 2017 Friday 27 January 2017:- pray without ceasing. The result of their prayerlessness was catastrophic. Most of them lacked the courage to stand firm when their Master was arrested. They would have obtained the needed courage in the place of prayer. They therefore could not resist the temptation of running away. Peter, the one who had appeared to be the boldest among them turned out to be bold only in the flesh; he ended up denying his master three times. He had no spiritual courage to follow through with his boast of readiness to die with the Master (Matthew 26:35). What a great lesson to us all! The arm of flesh will always fail (Jeremiah 17:5)

There are many lessons we can learn from the story of the widow in today's Bible text; first of which is that the judge intervened in her case not because he was interested in her. Rather, it was her relentless prayer that compelled him to act and avenge her of her enemies. Secondly, this woman did not change her prayer at any time. In other words, she was consistent in her prayer, and so there was no need for additional witnesses to be called in, or for more evidence to be presented. Many people gamble in their lives, not knowing exactly what they need. Open heavens 2017.They are unstable like the waves of the sea, being driven by the wind. Concerning such people, Apostle James in James 1:7-8 writes:

"For let not that man think he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Our Lord Jesus Christ through this story assures us that our heavenly Father, unlike the unjust judge, will answer us speedily, but on one condition: if we pray in faith and trust in His justice. Therefore, ask of the Father today in faith, and you will receive beyond your wildest imagination.

Prayer Point

Father, avenge me of every adversary of Your plan and purpose of my life this year.

Open Heaven Devotional Thursday 26 January 2017:- Singled out

Posted: 24 Jan 2017 01:28 PM PST

SINGLED OUT – Thursday January 26^th 2017

Memorise: And many leper were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. Luke 4:27

Read: Luke 4:25-27 (KJV)

²⁵But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

²⁶But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

Bible in one year: Luke 4-5, Isaiah 23, Hymn: Sing hymn 8

MESSAGE:

When God opens treasures to you but blinds your enemies from seeing them, the experience is simply wonderful. However, when your tomorrow becomes permanently settled for good, it is even more wonderful. This is what the Lord sent His word to do in Isaiah 3:10:

"Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings."

Beloved, if you are genuinely born again and in right standing before God, no matter what the devil does, no matter how hard he fights against you, and no matter the number of forces that gather together to stand in your way, you will prevail at the end. Sometimes, God keeps quite and allows your enemies to believe that they have the upper-hand against you; but just when they think it is all over for you, the Lord will suddenly arise on your behalf and bring them under your feet. Also, never think that your labours are in vain. Open Heaven Devotional Thursday 26 January 2017:- Singled out. They are not! God keeps a record of them. that you did not enter your harvest today does not mean your harvest is lost forever. You shall not lose your harvest! There can only be some delay, some temporary setback, but you will enter your harvest. Have you been separated from your harvest for so long? This season, the Lord will arise for you, scatter all the impediments on your way and give you a great harvest, in Jesus' Name.

Beloved, it shall be well with you. Your tomorrow shall be alright. Your tomorrow is secured in God and not in your nation's economy. Open Heavens devotional 2017. When God prospers you to the level where you can say, "By the grace of God, I now have enough to take care of me and my family for the rest of our lives", then that can be described as being even more wonderful. Beyond this, the experience of the widow of Zarephath in 1^st Kings 17:8-16 can be described as most wonderful because, of all the households in a country suffering a nationwide famine, this widow's household was the only one singled out for favour. The miracle of divine provision was limited to her particular household alone. When you are singled out this way, the negative things that affect others will not affect you. Also, the good things that other cannot get, no matter how hard they try, will be yours with little or no effort. This year, the Lord will single you out for protection against any form of famine, disease or pestilence. The Lord will single you out for an uncommon blessing that will leave your enemies in the dark in Jesus' Name.

Action Point

Pray that the youths of your nation will get to know God and serve Him with all that they have.

Open Heaven Devotional Wednesday 25 January 2017:- Taming the cobra

Posted: 23 Jan 2017 01:44 PM PST

TAMING THE COBRA – Wednesday January 25^th 2017

Memorise: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10

Read: Luke 19:1-10 (KJV)

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

²And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

⁴And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁹And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Bible in one year: Luke 2-3, Isaiah 22:5-25, Hymn: Sing hymn 13

MESSAGE:

There are so many wonderful things to know about the person of God the Son. His uniqueness is summarised in Colossians 2:9:

"For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."

He came to this world in the form of flesh to demonstrate the character of the 3 personalities found in the person of God. This means that if you want to know more about all the other persons of the Godhead, all you need to do is to take a close look at Jesus. He is the Great Physician who can heal all sicknesses and diseases. He is the One who can set the captives free and destroy all the works of the devil. Most importantly for us, He is the Saviour (Matthew 1:21). When He visited Zacchaeus, He declared to him that He had come to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). His blood cleanses from all sins (1^st John 1:7), and it is only through His Name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12)

Several years ago, I visited an African nation and my host began to tell me about a particular government minister of that nation who was a very terrible man. Open Heaven Devotional Wednesday 25 January 2017:- Taming the cobra. He had killed quite a number of people and was so vicious that he was nicknamed "the Cobra". When he said that, the Holy Spirit immediately told me to go and preach to him. I told my host, "I need to go and preach to the Cobra." He looked at me in disbelief and said, "Sir, it appears you do not understand what I have been saying." Then I replied, "If he is as bad as you say he is, then he needs salvation, and no other person can save him but Jesus." My host reluctantly agreed to take me to his house, but he told me that he would stay back in the car. "If I wait for one hour and you do not come out, I will drive off", he said. I agreed, and asked him to call the Cobra and inform him that a prophet is coming from Nigeria with a message for him. When I met the Cobra at his house, I said to him, "Sir, I have a message for you from the Lord." "What message?" He asked. "Your days are numbered, your judgment is at hand, you cup is about to overflow, but the Almighty God has sent me to tell you that despite all your atrocities, He still loves you." Within 15 minutes of talking, the Cobra was on his knees asking how he could be saved. Every "cobra" in your life shall be arrested today in Jesus' Name! However, one effective way of doing this is by introducing Jesus Christ the Saviour to your enemies. 2017 rccg devotional message. I know this is the last thing some people will want to do. If you lead your enemies to the Saviour, you will have rest because they will become your defence and supporters. Don't stop until all your enemies are saved.

Action Point

If all your enemies are saved, you will experience progress without constraints. Pray for their salvation today.
