TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST V MEMORIZE : The Spirit of God hath made me, and the brea th of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4 READ : Genesis 1:1-3 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. MESSAGE As I continue to discuss the significance of the events of the day of Pentecost, I want you to consider that on that day, there was a sound of a mighty rushing wind (Acts 2:1-2). In Exodus 14:21-28, when the wind blew, a way appeared where there was none before. When a revival like the day of Pentecost happens, every force that is hindering the church will be blown away by the wind, and ways will appear where there were none before. Some years ago, I was invited to preach in an orthodox church, and I preached about the three basic steps in Christianity: salvation, ...

CONTROLLER OF KINGS Saturday 7 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The King’s heart is in the hand of LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Proverbs 21:1
Read: Daniel 4:24-27
As the King of kings, God wields His power, influence and authority over other kings. Daniel 4:25 says God is the true king maker as He determines who ascends the throne and who does not. Psalm 75:7 says He can set up a king and pull down another king. Proverbs 21: 1 says He has the hearts of kings in his hands and turns them wherever He wants. Kings control things while God control the kings. One implication of God being the King of kings is that all power brokers and controllers of men are at His beck and call and He can use them to back you up in fulfilling your destiny. Joseph is an example of someone that experienced this. God revealed His plan to make him great in two separate but similar dreams. Joseph was sure he was not created to die prematurely or to become victim of circumstance manipulated by men. But at some point in his life, Joseph was sitting in prison instead of on the throne. Then the King of kings gave a set of dreams to Pharaoh and within 24 hours, Joseph dreams were fulfilled. Are you presently located in the pit or prison of life while heading for your promised throne? The King of kings will engineer events that will lift you up and help you to fulfill your destiny.
According to Romans 8:31, if the King of kings is on your side, nobody can be against you. When the question is asked: If God be for you, who can be against you? Usually, we chorus ‘Nobody’, but forget that sometimes, we can decide to be against ourselves. Our Lord Jesus said there is no neutral place: it is either you are for Him or you are against Him. You are either gathering with Him or scattering from Him. You are either a Christian who is 100 percent committed or you are not. Where do you stand in all of these? How often do you call on the King of kings to influence the power brokers in your favour?
KEY POINT:
Some people lobby people while some others lobby the King of kings. Kings are limited to their domains, but the King of kings is not limited to any domain.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 43-45

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: 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: 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...
