TOPIC: WHILE IT IS DAY MEMORISE : "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world." John 11:9 READ : Joshua 13:1-5 1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. 2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, 3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites: 4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites: 5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26
Read: Genesis 32:24-28
Sometimes, all you need to do in order to get your miracle is to praise Him. Many years ago, we were holding a crusade at Ebute Metta, Lagos (South West Nigeria). As instructed of God, l mounted the stage that evening and announced to those present that we are not praying for anybody but that we were going to dance and praise God. Thereafter, a woman who doctors had written off as dead was brought in a car to the crusade. She met my deputy and requested for prayers because she was dying. The man told her the Lord had said that all they were to do that night was to sing and praise God. The woman asked him, “I can’t even stand, how would I dance?” Eventually she tried to comply with the directive. She managed to disemback from the car, supported by two people, she moved little by little and the power of God hit her. She pushed off those supporting her and stood properly. That was how she was healed of the sickness that was meant to take her life. When you praise Him, He can reverse the irreversible.
Our God is so great that just one encounter with Him changes everything for good permanently. It was just one encounter Jacob had with God and his destiny changed (Genesis 32:24-28). Death became life, enemy became friend, his name changed from deceiver to prince with God, and his destiny was changed for the best. Just one encounter l had with God on the 29th of July 1973 and everything changed. My family and I used to be very sickly. We had a big file at the university of Lagos clinic. If I was well, my children would be sick and vice versa but one encounter changed everything. All you need from Him is one encounter. If you have followed the Lord or have been coming to church but things remain as they used to be, all you need is one encounter. You need an encounter that can put an end to sorrow, stagnancy and financial worries in your life. This season, as you seek His face with all your heart and Obey Him, you will receive that life transforming encounter with the Great God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, an encounter that will put paid to my sorrows and worries, give it to me now.
 
Bible in one year: Isaiah 22-24

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...
