TOPIC: THE ANOINTING IS NOT FOR SALE MEMORISE Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, treely give. Matthew 10:8 READ : 1 Peter 5:2-4 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. MESSAGE When God anoints a person, He expects him or her to use the anointing to edify His people and spread the gospel. As we see in today’s Bible reading, God does not want the anointing to be used for personal gain. I often tell the pastors under my supervision that when God uses them to perform a miracle, they must never demand or expect any reward from the person who received the miracle. In today’s memory verse, Jesus told his disciples that they had received the anointing ...

CONTROLLER OF MEN AND ANGELS Saturday March 31

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:14
Read: Daniel 6:6-23
God is the King of kings, and as a result He is in control. He controls the heavens and the earth, as well as those in them. He controls human beings and can use them to render help to the needy. In 2 Kings 5:1-14, God prompted a young maid to speak of His ability and the word got the attention of a needy general, which helped to link him with his much-needed miracle. When God prompts you to do or say something, do you obey? You cannot tell the far-reaching effects of that obedience! God controls all His subjects including earthly kings. When a king controls his domain and wants things done, all he may be required to do would be to instruct people to carry out the assignment. Everyone God needs to command to work in your favour will receive their commands from the Almighty God this season in Jesus name.
Moreover, the angels are not outside God’s sphere of control. They do His commandments and follow the voice of His word according to Psalm 103:20. Whenever He wants something done for you and there is no human being around, or the task is above the ability of humans, God can send an angel. In Daniel 6:16-23, when God was to deliver Daniel from the lion’s den, He sent an angel. Also, in Acts 12:5-11, when He was to release His servant from prison, He sent an angel. You can be assured that no security guard or prison door can stop an angel. Every task to be done in your life that requires the attention of an angel, that angel will manifest speedily in Jesus name. In addition, God has authority over demons. Job 1:6-12 shows that even the devil cannot do anything to God’s children without getting permission from God. The devil and his cohorts have to operate within the sphere of limitation God has set for them. No demon can do anything to you without God’s permission. The devil cannot hurt you at will. He cannot touch you whenever he likes except he comes to obtain permission from the King of kings. It should gladden your heart that the King of kings watches over you on a daily basis.
ACTION POINT:
Thank God for being in charge of your life and circumstances. Command that demons, men and angels respond to His will concerning you.
Bible in one year: Exodus 1-4

TOPIC : OVERFLOWING MERCY MEMORISE : “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).” - (Ephesians 2:4-5) READ : MARK 1:40-45 (KJV) 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 45 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the cit...

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Daniel 6:3 READ :  Romans 12:10-21 [10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11]Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12]Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13]Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality  [14]Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
