TOPIC: TRUE FRUITFULNESS   MEMORISE :  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and make th manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14   READ : Matthew 28:18-20  18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.    MESSAGE When God says you should be fruitful, He is not just talking about you being successful materially and having children; He is also talking about you winning souls. In John 15:16, Jesus said: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Fat...

ANOTHER NEBUCHADNEZZAR? Monday 16 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation: which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. Hebrews 2:3
Read: Daniel 4:19-30
Besides King Saul and Samson, another Bible character who missed it out of carelessness or insensitivity was King Nebuchadnezzar. God gave him a very disturbing dream. He got its interpretation and was advised on how to prevent its adverse connotation, yet he did nothing about it for one whole year.
Wherefore, O king, Let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility. Daniel 4:27.
He was shown the problem and given the solution, yet for so long he did nothing about it until the judgment came upon him. The seven years of madness could have been averted! Don’t be so quick to condemn this king! We have several Nebuchadnezzar’s in our midst today. How many times have you heard that, refusal to pay your tithe could bring devourers to you, yet you still refuse to obey? Has the Holy Spirit been speaking to you about giving a particular car, house, sum of money, plot of land, etc, to aid the church developmental efforts, yet you pay deaf ears? Or has it been impressed in your spirit to assist a particular needy brother or sister but you have continued to struggle with the Holy Ghost on the issue? Are you not another Nebuchadnezzar?
The difference between Nebuchadnezzar and today’s Christians is that he did not know God at this time but we say we know God, yet we still flout His instructions and break His commandments with complete disregard to His person. Do believers who live in bitterness not know that their sin will take them to hell yet they refuse to stop? Do liars and those who have turned the church into a place of merchandise not know there are negative consequences for these actions? Like Nebuchadnezzar before them, they know, just that they have hardened their hearts to the point of destruction. In what areas are you resisting God today? Repent and immediately obey His voice lest you become history!
ACTION POINT:
Examine yourself carefully and identify any area your obedience is incomplete or where you are yet to heed His warning and take immediate steps to fix them.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 4-6

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...
