TOPIC: PRODUCE SONS MEMORISE :  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 READ : Philemon 1:10-18 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he ...

BESIEGED? Wednesday 4 April

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. Psalm 37:19
Read: 2 Kings 6:25-29
Hopelessness is a state of total loss of expectations. Usually there is an increase in the feeling of hopelessness among the general populace whenever the economy of a nation goes through downturn. This was experienced in Samaria in the days of Elisha. The city was besieged; completely cut off from food supplies. As soon as reserves were exhausted, there was no way to replenish stock. They were faced with starvation. With this prevailing condition, the head of an ass became very costly. The eating of an ass which was forbidden under Mosaic Law became prevalent just to boost the chances of survival. During a famine, people will take desperate measures. If the head of an ass, which was seen as the worst part to be eaten of an animal, was so costly, only God can tell how much the better part would have cost. Furthermore, the excrement of doves became precious commodity. A cab was the smallest measurement for dry foods in Israel. It was supposed to be the cheapest for the poorest yet the famine was so bad that even after dividing a cab of dove’s excrement into four places, each part was still above the reach of many. May you never experience such in Jesus name.
One thing is certain here: famine or not, God is still God. Before the famine God was God and thereafter, God remains God. If God could answer prayers before famine, He can still answer right in the midst of famine. Are you going through a situation of famine presently? Is your business no more receiving patronage or contract? Are proposals not being approved? The lord will make a way out for you. Are you finding it difficult to understand what you are taught in school? Does it seem like you have reached a point of saturation? The lord will make a way out for you. I decree an end to the siege over your finances, business and memory. I rebuke every power operating in your situation to take their leave now. I command fresh life and abundance to take over from your situation now.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, Let every besieging force(s) over any area of my life, family and church be dismantled by your heavenly host now.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 34-36

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: PRAYERS FOR 2025 MEMORISE :  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2 READ : Isaiah 35:1-10 1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. 4 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 5 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. ...

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...
