TOPIC: BE VULNERABLE WITH GOD MEMORISE :  The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18 READ : Exodus 3:1-5 1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. MESSAGE Whenever I am in God’s presence, I behave like a child because I recognize that I am j...

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: 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 : 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: 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...
