DON'T DOUBT Wednesday 25 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31
Read: Job 19:25-26
If there was someone who knew famine, it was Job. He experienced famine virtually in every area of his life. Different servants came bringing him evil news. At a point, he would hear no more because all that came was evil reports. From one bad news to the other yet, after he seemed to have lost everything, including the support of his wife, he confessed his hope in God’s Word. He said:
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall l see God: Job 19:25-26
In that unbearable famine situation, Job confessed the Word of God He knew and in finality declared that in spite of everything he was going to see God. God’s Word gives hope and hope breeds faith. He confessed it and he saw good days. He lived extra years to enable him enjoys God’s salvation. In that famine situation, hope in God’s Word and confess the Word. Speak positively about yourself and the situation you are in. the Word will rescue you.
A vital lesson from the famine in Samaria (2 Kings 6:25-30) is that when men speak about a situation nothing positive may happen, but when God speaks, change begins. So instead of repeatedly complaining about a situation, why not speak to God about it and He will bring about change. Do you know that you can change that impossible leader through prayers and not by complaining about him? You can change your wife or husband by praying and not by complaining or nagging. Sharing your burden with the Lord in the place of prayer may be all you need in order to see its end. In addition, doubting God’s word or prophecy can have negative consequences. It may rob the doubter of the blessing. The doubter may see others partake of the blessing without personally benefiting from it. It can also destroy the doubter as seen in 2 Kings 7:17-20 where the minister of finance and economic planning met an untimely death because he doubted God’s Word. Stop doubting God’s Word!
KEY POINT:
Doubt and unbelief are drifts from faith by varying degrees. You cannot enter your promised land by entertaining any of them.
 
Bible in one year: Acts 6-9

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...
