TOPIC: PUT JESUS FIRST MEMORISE : I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8 READ : 1 Kings 17:8-16 8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do ...

THE ESSENCE OF GOD (Part 1) Thursday 5 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony: and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
Read: 2 Kings 1:9-12
God is the Father of lights according to James 1:17 and Himself is said to be light in 1 John 1: 5. Light is one of the few things used in describing the essence of God in scripture. A study of white light therefore should give us tremendous insight to who God is (with white connoting the purity of God). From physics we understand that when white light is passed through a glass prism, the white will be divided into the seven colours of the rainbow. The seven colours were encapsulated in the white light and each is indicative of the essence of white light. We will take a look at the colours individually.
Red is the colours of blood. Red stands for life because the life of animals is their blood (Leviticus 17:11). Red also stands for salvation. 1 John 1:7 says the blood of Jesus cleanses from the stains of sin. Red equally stands for deliverance because Revelation 12:11 shows you can overcome by the blood of the lamb; and Exodus 12:13 says as long as the blood is there, you will escape the evil projected against you. So it is the colour of victory. Fire also is red and it stands for purification. Malachi 3:2-4 says the Lord is like a refiner’s fire and the one God will accept must first be purified. For this reason God promises to baptise His children with the Holy Ghost fire. No purification, no divine acceptance. Fire is also an agent of destruction. Have you been tied up by satanic forces but you are sure you are born again and baptized with the Holy Spirit? Those things tying you now shall be roasted in Jesus name. When they bundled and threw the Hebrew trio into Nebuchadnezzar’s burning fiery furnace in Daniel 3:22-25, it was the rope that bound them that got burnt. The fire of the Spirit is meant to destroy selectively. It burns enemies and every gadget enemies are using against God’s children. This season, every instrument, rope, cage, monitoring gadgets and weapons the enemies are using against you, your family or destiny shall be roasted by the fire of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name. In 2 kings 1:9-12, when some sets of soldiers came to arrest Elijah, he simply asked the fire of the Holy Ghost to do its work. In the name of Jesus, as you walk with the Holy Spirit, every satanic agent sent to arrest you shall be roasted.
ACTION POINT:
Father, release afresh the fire of the Holy Spirit upon every department of my life.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 37-39

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...

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. [15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
