TOPIC: THE AGELESS GOD   MEMORISE :  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31   READ : Luke 1:6-7 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. Luke 1:57-64 57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. MESSAGE God is unlimited by time, and as such, He doesn't grow old. In Daniel 7:9-10, He is referred to as the Ancient of Days. He existed before the beginning of time and created time in itself. As He doesn't age, it means that His strength never diminishes. Isaiah 40:28-31 tells us that God is ...

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 : 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...
