TOPIC: TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE MEMORISE Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." - Colossians 3:19. READ: Ephesians 5:25-29 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: MESSAGE One of the most important tasks for a husband is to take care of his wife because God has given her to him to nurture and protect her. Today's Bible reading encourages husbands to love their wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. One of the ways a husband can show his wife that he love...

HEAVEN’S AIR FRESHENER Tuesday 20 March 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2
Read: Revelation 5:8-9
Immediately the lamb stepped out, He took the sealed scroll from God’s hand and the four living beings and the 24 elders knew that the One in control had come. The praise took a different form as each of them got harps ready to praise Him. The elders also had vials in their hands filled with some kind of aroma which was the prayers of the saints. This implies that after you are born again and you pray, your prayers are collected in those golden vials by the elders and stored to be offered to God as a sweet smelling aroma. From this peep into Heaven, we understand that one common duty in Heaven is singing and praising God. This shall continue for the rest of eternity. Many who cannot play instruments here may have to learn it there. So the more you learn to praise God with your voice and with musical instruments, the more prepared you are for Heaven. The less you praise Him, the less prepared you are for Heaven. Are you truly expecting to make it to Heaven in eternity? Then begin to prepare along this line and you will easily receive inspiration in composing songs from Heaven. Many heavenly songs have been given to men who are heaven focused, but the bulk of Heaven’s songs are yet waiting to be given to those who are prepared. In Heaven, everyone is part of God’s mass choir. How effectively are you preparing to join this choir?
Your prayers are not a nuisance to God as some people think. Sometimes, when you pray often, you may wonder if God is not tired of hearing your voice. No He is not! Your prayers are Heaven’s lavender an air freshener which God asks the elders to offer when He wants to smell something good. However, if you want your prayers to smell fresh in Heaven, let them be loaded with lots of praises, worship and thanksgiving. When you give God what He likes to hear, you are preparing Heaven’s air fresheners for Him. How effectively are you doing this? Are your prayers desirable or unacceptable to God?
KEY POINT:
If you know how to give God some good aroma through praises, he will make your life more appealing and attractive.
Bible in one year: Numbers 18-20

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.
