TOPIC: THE ANOINTING IS NOT FOR SALE MEMORISE Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, treely give. Matthew 10:8 READ : 1 Peter 5:2-4 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. MESSAGE When God anoints a person, He expects him or her to use the anointing to edify His people and spread the gospel. As we see in today’s Bible reading, God does not want the anointing to be used for personal gain. I often tell the pastors under my supervision that when God uses them to perform a miracle, they must never demand or expect any reward from the person who received the miracle. In today’s memory verse, Jesus told his disciples that they had received the anointing ...

HOW FIERY IS YOUR WALL OF FIRE? Tursday 12 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zechariah 2:5
Read: 2 Kings 6: 8-17
It’s so gratifying to know that God promises to build a wall of fire round about His children. Satan alluded to this when he sought for permission to attack job (Job 1:9-10). At the time the enemies surrounded Elisha, God opened the eyes of his servant and he saw that innumerable horses and chariots of fire were around Elisha. Those besieging them were themselves surrounded by a heavenly army. God has not changed. He still employs His fire as means of protecting His children today. If you are a true child of God, living daily to please Him, God’s fire will protect you. Do not be anxious because you cannot see it; your enemies’ see it and they quake and hold back or else they will be roasted. Any enemy who wants to attack you and your loved ones from today shall be roasted by the wall of fire around you.
You could however intensify your fiery wall, reduce the fire or totally remove the wall of fire around you depending on your relationship with God. If you grow in the grace of God, pray regularly in the spirit and grow in your relationship with the Holy Spirit, obeying all His instructions, the fire in your wall of protection will increase. If you dabble into sin, the fire will decrease and if you continue in sin or separate from the Lord, you will lose your fiery wall completely. There are some believers whose wall of fire cannot even roast a fly. They are so cold from prayerlessness that their fire can’t hurt the enemy. Whereas, the wall of protection of some believers is so hot that in order to be safe, enemies stay miles away. Is your wall of fire still burning hot or have they become what the enemies toy with? The hotness of your fiery is also indicative of the level of glory you carry. There is a relationship between these three variables: God, fire and glory. The amount of God’s presence in you will determine the intensity of the fire on your wall of protection, which in turn determines the level of God’s glory you radiate. Are you carrying His fire still?
PRAYER POINT:
Father, as never before, let me and everything associated with me be enveloped in Your fire.
Bible in one year: James 3-5

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.
