TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD V MEMORISE :  The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Haggai 2:8    READ : Psalms 50:10-15 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. MESSAGE Over the past few days, I have discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition, circumstances, or time. I will continue this series today by discussing how He rules in the affairs of men and cannot be hindered by resources. Psalm 24:1 says, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." There is no need t...

DOMINATE YOUR THOUGHTS Tuesday 17 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ. Philippians 4:7
Read: Philippians 4:7-8
The greatest battles of life occur in the heart. If you are not defeated in your heart, it will be pretty difficult for any external enemy to defeat you. Why? If your heart is pure, God will easily fill that heart and be with you. As a result, any battle that comes your way will have the One on your inside to contend with. But when you are controlled by impure thoughts, God is at the sideline, leaving demons to have a field day (Acts 5:3). To be triumphant over your thoughts, be very cautious about the kind of thought you permit henceforth. Say No to any thought that does not pass the test of Philippians 4:8. If an idea accommodates any iota of lie or dishonesty, don’t dwell on it. If it is impure or unjust, reject it vehemently. If it is not good or cannot glorify God, reject it. If it is a thought that could cause shame were your heart exposed for all to see, shun it. If it is a thought that would feed the lust of the flesh, reject it.
Usually, all manner of thought would visit your heart. In the spirit realm, the satanic kingdom projects billions of evil thoughts which move as darts through the atmosphere. When it hits you, you have the power to say “No! l reject you in the name of Jesus”, then quote a scripture that counters the intent of that thought just as the Lord Jesus did when he was tempted. This is why you must fill your mind with the Word. There is a word for every dart of evil thought thrown at you from the pit of hell but you’ve got to search them out, know them and assert the power in them. Never open the door of your heart to evil thought because within a short while, they will grow and land you in trouble. Evil thought should not have dominion over you. In addition, if there is a place or activity which births evil thought in you, cut it off. Cut off from evil friends particularly unbelievers. Keep a safe distance from so- called believers who try to influence you into evil. If television programmes are affecting you negatively, cut off from them or watch them selectively. If you cannot resist surfing occultism or pornographic sites, or site sponsored by false prophets etc; avoid the internet for a while or use it in an environment of accountability while you build up the character of your inner man. Spend more time with the word and think on it. Also pray and fast to bring your flesh under subjection of your spirit.
ACTION POINT:
Control over your thoughts and imaginations are the way to assert your Christ given victory over the flesh.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 7-9

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.

[19]Dearly be...
