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...

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: 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...
