TOPIC: PUT JESUS FIRST MEMORISE : I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8 READ : 1 Kings 17:8-16 8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do ...

KEEP HOPE INTACT Wednesday 27 March

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil. Hebrews 6:19
Read: Hebrews 6:17-20
If you lose all your earthly possessions but retain your hope for a better tomorrow, all will be well. But if you lose hope, you have lost everything. One important instrument ships have is the anchor. When they get to a particular destination and want to stop, they will release the anchor. The waves may toss the ship here and there but it will not get beyond a particular circumference permitted by the chain tied to the anchor. By the use of an anchor, the wind and waves of the sea are unable to have their way with the ship – i.e. to carry it to an undesirable location in an uncontrolled manner. Today’s memory verse compares hope to an anchor of the soul that keeps it intact in spite of very contrary winds and circumstances. May your anchor of hope remain intact in Jesus name.
Hope brings expectation. The result you get from your effort with anything is at most times a function of the expectation you earlier had. Expectation is a forerunner of achievements. Most people have good and strong expectations of life but when the winds of adversity, doubts and fears begin to blow, quite a number of them may shift from strong expectations to weak expectations. Some may drift totally from expectation to mere wishes, while others may resign themselves to fate saying: “If God wills, let Him prosper me”. Such statement shows they are no longer keen on the blessing. Their drive is diminished. Yet, a few will still hold on to their original desires and may even hold on more firmly as the circumstances get tougher. Like they say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. All who stood out as heroes of faith were people who retained their hopes in the midst of adversity. Today, they are heavenly celebrities and we can learn from them. Is your hope for a better future still intact? Do you believe even when you do not have a kobo in your pocket right now that you are more than a millionaire? Keep your hope intact. Your life depends on it!
PRAYER POINT:
Father, whatever you may allow me pass through in life, please let my hope in You never shift, for You are my only hope!
 
Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 10-12

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...
