TOPIC: THE WEIGHT OF COVENANTS II MEMORISE : Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: Exodus 19:5 READ : Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. MESSAGE Holiness is living a life that reflects God’s character, and it is the major weight of a covenant with Him. Anyone who is in a covenant with God must be like Him (1 Peter 1:16), and this requires doing all that He asks. In return, the fellow will get many blessings from Him (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). Some people think that life will become a bed of roses when they become believers; however, Jesus never promised that. In today’s Bible reading, He said that everyone who comes to Him should carry His yoke...

WHY YOU MUST HEAR HIM Monday 19 March 2012

-

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8
Read: Isaiah 6:8-10
Knowing that two persons cannot walk together except they agreed (Amos 3:3), it becomes imperative to know that God as a partner, speaks and to hear Him when He speaks. If you cannot hear Him when he speaks, you will not know when He is calling you, or when He wants to send you on an errand or even what His heart is focused on. It takes people hearing Him to repent or obey Him. It takes you hearing him to conform to His expectations. When last did you hear His voice? Many are sick in one area or the other. Some are sick physically, mentally, spiritually or emotionally. There are those who will not commit adultery but while on their beds alone, they entertain such evil thoughts. You need to hear Him so that you can live the triumphant life.
Moreover, it is when you hear Him that He can use you. Isaiah heard God saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” he offered to go on that assignment because he heard God’s voice. Today, God is still speaking and looking for those He can use for special assignments but because, many are not sensitive enough, such assignments pass them by. May divine assignments not pass you by in Jesus name. In Amos 3:1, God spoke against Israel. This connotes that being God’s child does not mean that God cannot speak against you. If you do wrong, the Lord will speak against you so that you can realise your mistake and repent. The Lord also told Israel that because they have a relationship with Him, He was going to punish them for their short comings (Amos 3:2). This is not strange. It is those God loves He chastises (Hebrews 12:6). The closer you are to God the tougher He will be with you. This is why you must flee from everything God hates if you have a relationship with Him. Are you hearing Him today?
PRAYER POINT:
Father, whatever is stopping me from hearing from you, take it away and make me hear you clearly.
Bible in one year: Matthew 26-28

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.
