TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING HARVESTS MEMORIZE : While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 READ : Mark 4:26-29  26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. MESSAGE The first thing to understand about harvests is that they ultimately come from God. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Also, harvests come in different levels, which Jesus identified as thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold (Mark 4:20). Some Bible scholars believe that a thirtyfold harvest results from...

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: COMMITTING GOD MEMORISE : I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. MESSAGE : Do you know that it is possible to commit God to do some things for you and leave Him with no choice but to do them? Psalm 115:3 says that God is sove...

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: STAND FIRM MEMORISE:  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive: Ephesians 4:14 READ: Daniel 1:8-16  8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten d...
