TOPIC: THE ULTIMATE PROMOTER MEMORISE: But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. Psalm 3:3 READ : 1 Samuel 2:7-9 7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them. 9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. MESSAGE When I was studying for my Master’s degree, there was a young man who was working in a professor’s office as a messenger. In those days, there were no mobile phones, so whenever someone called the office phone to speak with the professor, the boy would answer the phone first before taking it to the professor. Most times, however, whenever he answered the phone, the people on the other end of the call...

HE MAKES THINGS HAPPEN Saturday 14 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build It: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127:1
Read: Exodus 15:22-25
Our God is not only the King of kings but also the Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). A lord is someone who makes things happen. For instance, a landlord is not just the owner of a piece of land, but also the one who has put a house on the land. Anybody can own a piece of land but before the fellow can be called a landlord, he must have performed the feat of building a house on the land. Likewise, in the valley of dry bones, God said that the reason He will make dry bones to live again is to establish His lordship over His people ( Ezekiel 37:13). As Lord, He makes things happen. He can reverse the irreversible. All those major miracles which took places at different times and seasons in the Bible were simply a mark of the Lord in action. In Exodus 14:21, when Moses lifted his hands across the Red sea, the Lord paved a way through it. When the Israelites experienced bitter water at Marah, the Lord moved again by showing Moses the way out (Exodus 17:22-25). At some other time when they needed water, the Lord brought out water from the rock (Exodus 17:1-6). Even at the age of 90, the lord caused barren Sarah to conceive (Genesis 18:9-14). In your life this year, the Lord will cause things to happen and ensure your joy is full in Jesus name.
One implication of the title Lord of lords is that except He makes something to happen, nobody else can. Hence Psalms 127:1 says:
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build It: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
He also says in Revelation 3:7 that except He opens, nobody else can. Except God protects, bodyguards are simply wasting time as safety is of the Lord. If God does not help you, nobody else can (Psalms 60:11). Are you in need of help? As long as the Lord of lords is with you, you shall not lack help. Except the Lord heals, you may take all the treatment on earth and remain sick. He will heal you of whatever sickness is troubling you today.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, in my life and situation, make good things a daily event.
Bible in one year: Galatians 4-6

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.

[19]Dearly be...
