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 ...

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: 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...
