MESSAGE:

Quite a number of people today enter into marriage for all the wrong seasons, which is why we need to ask ourselves this question: Why marriage? The first reason is companionship. To full understand God's purpose, let's take look at the beginning. After God created the firmament, the seas, all the plants and animals, He afterwards made man in the Garden of the Eden. However, as He watched life unfold, He realized that of all the creatures, it was only Adam who had no one of his kind. The trees could produce through their seeds; the animals also had male and female species and thereby multiply. Adam only was the lone ranger in this earthly paradise. Yes, he was in charge. Agreed he was the god of the whole earth as that time. Indeed, all animals, birds and fish submitted to him, and true he had great relationship with them all, but God still saw that there was an issue of loneliness with Adam that no pet or animal could solve. In Genesis 2:18, the Bible says,

"And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

God categorically said it is not good for a man to be alone. It is great to go through bachelorhood and spinsterhood during your youthful days. It is an experience you may never get back after going past that stage in life. Nevertheless, at some point, God wants you to be married. He wants you to have worthy companion. Today, in many homes, companionship is still lacking even after marriage. This is quite unfortunate! Couples marry and stay far apart from each other, this is recipe for disaster and negates basis for marriage in the first place. A marriage relationship cannot be what it was meant to be as long as the vital ingredient of companionship is missing. For this reason, if a couple who have been married for 30 years become separated for some 10 to 15 years, by the time they come together again, they would be like total strangers to each other. Are you married? Is your spouse your companion? Some people are ashamed to attend social outing with their wives; why then did you marry her? Do you spend time in each other's company? Do you enjoy the company of your spouse or do you prefer to keep company with other people? Your legally wedded spouse should be your ideal companion! Is it so with you?

Key point:

Pets are fast replacing human spouses as companions! We are really in perilous times.

Open Heaven 22 December 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Working something out

Posted: 20 Dec 2017 01:58 PM PST

WORKING SOMETHING OUT - Friday December 22^nd 2017

Memorise: "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13

Read: Genesis 50:15-21 (KJV)

^50:15And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

^50:16And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

^50:17So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

^50:18And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

^50:19And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

^50:20But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

^50:21Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

Open Heaven 22 December 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Working something out,

Bible in one year: Proverbs 13-16, Zachariah 10, Sing Hymn 4

MESSAGE:

Not every seemingly negative situation is as bad as it looks or sound. In fact, for those called according to God's purpose, who love God and are His will, every event works to deliver something good to them (Romans 8:28). This is why we are told that we walk by faith and not by sight (2^nd Corinthians 5:7). If you view every incident with your limited understanding, you will be deceived. God can bring out something good from the evil works of your enemies, and in the end, they will end up being fooled, deceived or misguided. If you walk with the Holy Spirit allow Him shed His light on events happening around you, you will see what He is working out for you, and you will react differently to seemingly unpleasant things. Instead of sorrowing or being aggrieved, will be rejoicing and celebrating. Why? It is because you have begun to see as the Holy Spirit sees.

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Philippians 2:13

Beloved, if you are saved and standing in God's will, please know that whatever God allows to come your way is your good. In the various situations of life you are confronted with, God is working out something for you. He is always in control. The devil may brag, shake the whole place and get everyone afraid, but God is the one at the helm affairs. He is the One holding the rudder of the ship. He is fully in control and He never stops working. As the devil is scheming, God tempers with his plans. rccg open heaven. By the time his plans materialize, instead of working against you originally designed, the devil will see them working for your good and in your favour. Even in very bad situations, God can still work out something good. Can you imagine anything good ever coming out of Samson's fall? After he fell and was arrested, he was shaved, blinded and made an object of the mockery by the philistines (Judges 16:17-30). However, when he repented, God tinkered with his situation, and at the end of it all, the enemies he killed in his pitiable state where more than all those he killed while he had his eyes and freedom. Beloved, just submit to God in whatever situation you find yourself and you will be shocked at what great feat God can still achieve through you in that situation.

Prayer Point:

Father, I thank You for always causing all things to work together for my good.

Sing Hymn 4

THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR

Verse 1

Through the love of God our Savior,

All will be well;

Free and changeless is His favor;

All, all is well.

Precious is the blood that healed us;

Perfect is the grace that sealed us;

Strong the hand stretched out to shield us;

All must be well.

Verse 2

Though we pass through tribulation,

All will be well;

Ours is such a full salvation;

All, all is well.

Happy still in God confiding,

Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,

Holy through the Spirit's guiding,

All must be well.

Verse 3

We expect a bright tomorrow;

All will be well;

Faith can sing through days of sorrow,

All, all is well.

On our Father's love relying,

Jesus every need supplying,

Or in living, or in dying,

All must be well.

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 01:05 PM PST

Read: Philippians 1:20-21 (KJV)

Open Heaven for today 21 December 2017: – Ashamed of your faith?,

Bible in one year: Proverbs 9-12, Zachariah 9, Sing Hymn 1

MESSAGE:

Do you desire and seek rest for your soul!? There is a rest in Jesus Christ that can never fine elsewhere. To access this rest, you must be ready to receive His yoke by denying yourself, taking up your cross and following Him daily (Matthew 11:29). To fine rest for your soul, you must reach a point where you are no longer ashamed of Jesus Christ. You must conquer shame or be dead to it with regard to your faith in Christ Jesus. To this end, Paul said this to us, from his experience:

"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I Shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall magnified in my body, whether it be my life, or by death."

Philippians 1:20

Are you still ashamed to publicly declare your faith in Christ? Do you allow people to intimidate you concerning your faith in Christ Jesus? Get out of that pit of shame today and let everyone who cares to know be informed that you are a true child of God! Let your lifestyle support your confession and copy in all that you do!

A confirmation that you have conquered shame with respect to your faith in Christ is that you will be bold to face anyone, anywhere and say to them that you are for Jesus Christ. open heaven devotional 2017. If you are not bold, it is because you are infested with fear. If you have fear inside you and you are not baby Christian, please check your life for sin. Why? Proverbs 28:1 says,

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion."

Sin always brings in some degree of fear to a person's life. There is a relationship between sin and fear. In the same vein, there is a relationship between righteousness and boldness (confidence).

If you do not have faith in your prayers been answered, it could indicate the presence of sin in your life. Sin kills expectations and hope. When you live to please God, your expectations will be strong and your hope will be strong. Check your life today. If you lacking in boldness, faith, hope and expectation, there just might be some sins you haven't confessed lurking around the corner.

Prayer Point:

Father, grant me boldness to declare my faith in every situation I find myself in this world.

Sing Hymn 1

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

Verse 1:

My faith looks up to thee,

Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine;

Now hear me while I pray;

Take all my guilt away.

O let me from this day

Be wholly thine!

Verse 2:

May thy rich grace impart

Strength to my fainting heart,

My zeal inspire.

As thou hast died for me,

O may my love to thee

Pure, warm, and changeless be,

A living fire!

Verse 3:

While life's dark maze I tread

And griefs around me spread,

Be thou my guide;

Bid darkness turn to day,

Wipe sorrow's tears away,

Nor let me ever stray

From thee aside.

Verse 4:

When life's swift race is run,

Death's cold work almost done,

Be near to me.

Blest Savior, then, in love

Fear and distrust remove.

O bear me safe above,

Redeemed and free!

Open Heaven for Today 20 December 2017: Wednesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – A matter of choice

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 12:22 PM PST

A MATTER OF CHOICE - Wednesday December 20^th 2017

Memorise: "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant." Psalms 35:27

Read: Genesis 32:3-6 (KJV)

^32:3And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

^32:4And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:

^32:5And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and women servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

^32:6And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

Bible in one year: Proverbs 5-8, Zachariah 8:9-23, Sing Hymn 10

MESSAGE:

If you measure life by the experiences of some people, you will live far from your God–given purpose and barely scratch the surface. Some people are alive but only just surviving from day to day. In Luke 13:11-17, the woman who was bound for 18 years did not die, but she was merely surviving and not living. Also, the man with the unclean spirit in Mark 1:23-26 was continually going to church, and yet he was inhabited by an unclean spirit. Open heaven. It was even in the synagogue that the Lord met him. Although he was living, he was the captive of a demonic spirit. What of Naaman who appeared to be a distinguished and successful man, and yet he had a problem that no man could solve (2nd kings 5:1)? just like the individuals in all these examples, many people today are barely surviving, and are not living life as purposed by God for them. God not only wants you to live life, He also wants you to enjoy the abundant life that he gives (John 10:10) are our not tired of "managing" struggling to survive, and living from hand to mouth? If you are truly tired, the Lord will make a way for you.

God is interested in the overflow of his blessings upon your life. He does not just want you to be healed; He also wants His healing virtue to flow through you to others. He wants you to be free from captivity, and beyond this, He also wants you to set the captives free. Open heaven for today. God does not want you just to be rich but also to lend to nations. He wants you to be so prosperous that that when nations cannot balance their budgets, they will come and pay you a visit. God wants you to bring great joy to your family, community, city and nation. However, no matter how much He wants the overflow for you, He will respect what you want for yourself. He cannot force and overflow of his blessings on you when you want so little of it. There are different levels of greatness, and your choice of the type of life you want for yourself as a role to play in determine how great you become. Let us see the example of Esau. Yes, he sold his birthright, but as a seed of Abraham, he was so blessed from the remnant of blessing pronounced on him that he had 400 bodyguards. How many bodyguards do ministers, senators, state governors or even presidents have today? So you would agree that Esau was not doing badly. However, compared to Jacob his brother, who became a great nation, the difference is definitely clear. Do you want to merely survive, or do you want to be truly blessed with the overflowing portion of God's blessings? The choice is Yours!

Prayer Point:

Father, I am tired of just managing to survive. I choose the overflow of Your blessings. Please release it to me and my family now.

Hymn 10

HYMN 10: THERE SHALL BE SHOWER OF BLESSING

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

[Chorus]
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2. There shall be showers of blessing--
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

[Chorus]

3. There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.

[Chorus]

4. There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

[Chorus]
