TOPIC: DISCERNING OF SPIRITS I MEMORISE:  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14 READ : 1 John 4:1-3 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. MESSAGE Many children of God have fallen into the devil’s trap because they lacked the gift of the discerning of spirits. Usually, the messengers that the devil sends to believers appear as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). They usually seem harmless and very Iikeable, such that believers let their guards down around them and put their trust in them. By the time ...

KING OF KINGS Saturday 24 March 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16
Read: Acts 16:25-26
What makes a king different from other people? Although a king looks just like any other person yet he is not an ordinary person. One difference is that everything he touches becomes unique. If an ordinary person sits on a chair, it remains a chair no matter how flamboyantly designed it is, but if a king sits on a chair, it becomes a throne. When an ordinary person wears a cap, it remains a cap, but when a king wears a cap, it becomes a crown. Walking stick in the hands of ordinary fellow has no special value, but if that same walking stick is found in the hand of a king, it becomes a staff of office. One of the titles of our Lord is King of kings. This is an amazing title because it carries His brethren along. That is, if you belong to Him, you have automatically become a king under His kingdom.
If there is one word that clearly demarcates a king from his subjects, it is the word ‘control’. When the question, “Who is king here” is raised, we are indirectly asking who is the one in control. Unlike the limited spheres or control operated by earthly kings, the King of kings controls the heavens hence He can decide to open or shut it because it is the work of His hands (Isaiah 66:1; Malachi 3:10). He also controls rainfall hence Amos 4:7 says He can cause rain to fall on one part of a city and leave the other part dry. He controls the earth as Psalm 24:1 says it is His, with everything in it. By His power over the earth, He can make it to bring an increase and ensure you reap from seeds sown. If you relate very well with Him and make Him happy, He will cause the earth to always give you a good harvest. Moreover, He can fight using the earth. He can cause the earth to open and swallow the enemy (Numbers 16:32). He can also shake the earth at will. In Acts 16:25-26, when some people tried to terminate the ministry of His servants – Paul and Silas – God shook the earth and opened prison doors. This season, the Lord will shake the earth in your favour and break every evil chain holding you down. Cultivate a good relationship with the King of kings today.
PRAYER POINT:
The heart of every king is in the hands of the King of kings. Ask Him to influence them to work in your favour.
Bible in one year: Numbers 31-33

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 : 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: 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...
