TOPIC: YOUR FUTURE MEMORISE : “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:18 (KJV) READ : 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. MESSAGE : Over the past two days, I discussed the relationship between your past and present. Today, I will conclude the series by discussing about your future and how your present will impact it. As a believer, your future is secure because only God controls the past, the present, and the future - He is Alpha and Omega. This is why Colossians 1:27 says, "...Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Furthermore, Isaiah 3:10 says, "Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him..." These are promises from God, assuring you that y...

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.

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: 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...

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...
