TOPIC: HE WHO THINKS HE STANDS II MEMORISE : Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 READ : Matthew 7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. MESSAGE It is one thing to stand for Jesus, and it is another to keep standing for Him until the end. To stand in Christ until the end requires God’s help (Jude 1:24), and you must consistently enquire from Him to know how you are standing. 2 Corinthians 10:18 says: For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the lord commendeth. Many people comme...

HOW SENSITIVE ARE YOU? Monday 9 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. Isaiah 32:10
Read: Judges 16:4-6
Not everyone will be able to enter into the rest prepared for them even after years of waiting. Some were so close yet for certain reasons they missed their time. May you not miss your time in Jesus name. One such person, who missed out on a great destiny was King Saul (1 Samuel 15:10-30). He was very shallow in his walk with God. Nothing ever bothered him except to be honoured by men. Just imagine: what if he had repented sincerely and obeyed God completely? We would have been hearing of the exploits of King Saul and not David. David came onto the scene after Saul failed. How is your attitude to God and the things of the Spirit? A particular minister of God was being considered to head a parish. He was dutiful but he was never bothered about spiritual matters. He had pending issues to handle but still did not take them serious. At some point, his pastor called him and warned him about his bad attitude and that if he did not tidy up the pending issues, he would not be sent to head the parish. He was given enough time to do so, yet in his characteristic manner, he left the work undone. When it was time to send a minister to head the new parish, a younger minister was sent, yet he was not bothered.
If the things of God do not bother you, what will? If you are so carefree and nonchalant about the things of the Kingdom, you will most likely miss out of God’s plan for your life. Another person who missed it at the prime of his life was Samson (Judges 16:1-21). His problem was that he was blinded by the level of anointing on his life. He could not sense when trouble was coming. How could he not realize that divine tolerance is not the same as divine approval? How come he could not even sense that Delilah wanted to know the secret of his power so that he could lose it, even after she plainly said so (Judges 16:6)? This was a case of seeing a pit right in front of you yet stepping into it. Are many believers not taking God and His graces for granted today? Are they not toying with the Consuming Fire by sleeping with other people’s wives or husbands? Are you still in faith? Where are you missing it today? Repent!
ACTION POINT:
God documents your attitude to Him and His work. Drop any attitude that will work against you.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 52-54

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...
