TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST VII MEMORISE : "Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least, the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them." Acts 5:15 READ : ACTS 1:1-8 (KJV) 1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6 When they therefore were come tog...

THE ESSENCE OF GOD (Part 2) Friday 6 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein. Psalms 24:1.
Read: Psalms 24:1-2
The fire of the Holy Spirit is not only for the selective destruction of your enemies while guarantying your protection; it’s also for consuming stone. This we see in 1 Kings 18:38-39. Elijah, after challenging the prophets of Baal to a duel on Mount Carmel, prayed. The fire of the Holy Ghost fell on the stones where he offered sacrifice and consumed the sacrifice and stone on which they were offered. The children of Israel seeing this fell on their faces and decleared the Lordship of Jehovah. Today, the fire of the Holy Ghost consumes hearts of stone as promised by God in Ezekiel 36:26. Fire additionally is required in the bonding and welding of strong metals. When the Holy Spirit descended on the heads of the apostles and disciples on the day of Pentecost, it was not only to empower them but also to bind them together in unity. The Holy Spirit is an agent of unity. You can measure the presence of the Holy Spirit in an assembly by the level of unity operating in their midst. How united are you with other believers? If you truly have the Spirit of God, it will be easy for your minds to be set on one thing, to speak with one voice and to do things together for the common good (Romans 12:16). In all, the colour red points to the essence of God asthe giver of life, Salvation, Deliverance, Victory, the Purity, the Selective destroyer, Consumer of Hearts of Stone and the Unifier.
Another rainbow colour from the dispersal of white light is yellow. Yellow is the colour of Gold. Gold speaks of the self-sufficiency of God. In Haggai 2:8, God says:
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
In Psalms 24:1, we read that the earth and its fullness belongs to God. Every precious thing is contained in the earth. So the One who owns the earth with everything in it as well as own the heavens is unquestionably the richest personality in the universe. Being the richest, there is nothing you ask that He cannot afford. Even if it does not presently exist, He can create one for you. Are you lacking in any area of life? The lord will embarrass you with His blessings as He promised in Deuteronomy 28:1,11,12. Are you financially blessed and you think you have reached your peak? Wait a minute! With God, the peak of man’s achievements is the starting point for God. The Lord will take you to a level that will embarrass you thoroughly. Wealth and abundance is your portion because you serve the All-Sufficient God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, reveal yourself to me as the All- sufficient God.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 40-42.

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: 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: 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...
