TOPIC: PRODUCE SONS MEMORISE :  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 READ : Philemon 1:10-18 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he ...

WHAT A GREAT GOD! Sunday 15 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8.
Read: Matthew 15: 21-28
The first time l read 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 after l became born again, I felt Paul was talking about me because l could recall what l used to be before the Lord saved me. I believe some of you might have felt like that too. Our God can do in a day what a man cannot do in a thousand years.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8
Our God is indeed very great, when He stops to simply say “Thank you”, you will be left in amazement as was experienced by Peter in Luke 5:1-7. Matthew 15:21-28 reveals that a crumb from His table is enough to liberate the captives. A little crumb is enough to solve your problems. Many years ago, when l was quite young, we had some drug sellers who came to our village telling us that a particular capsule could cure 200 diseases. We patronized them even when we knew they were deceiving us. But God is so great that just one touch from him can fix all your problems. He is so great that according to Joshua 6:20, just a shout of His praise can level every obstacle on the way to your breakthrough.
Many years ago, a woman who was vomiting was brought to us. The doctors had examined her, but found nothing wrong with her. They prescribed certain drugs for her but to no avail. We said to her, “Praise the Lord” and she responded with a powerful “Hallelujah”. As she responded, she vomited a worm. Let somebody shout Hallelujah! Our God is so great that after being praised for a few minutes, He could cause all the enemies to destroy themselves (2 Chronicles 20:20-25). As you praise God from today, He will cause your enemies to fight against themselves and destroy one another in Jesus name. Stop doing things according to your calculations. Trust the Lord and obey Him in faith and you will soon testify of His goodness. Any battle you know you cannot handle, turn it over to Him. Take time to praise and worship Him, release your faith and He will move in that situation.
ACTION POINT:
Spend at least one hour praising and worshipping the lord today with every member of your immediate family.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 1-3

TOPIC: COMMITTING GOD MEMORISE : I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. MESSAGE : Do you know that it is possible to commit God to do some things for you and leave Him with no choice but to do them? Psalm 115:3 says that God is sove...

TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR 2025 MEMORISE :  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2 READ : Isaiah 35:1-10 1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. 4 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 5 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. ...

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...
