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 ...

WHEN IT IS TIME Monday April 2

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: While it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrew 3:15
Read: 2 Corinthians 6:1-2.
In life God has a time for everything. Even when it appears He is not following your timetable, be rest assured that His timetable for your life is far better than yours. When the day comes for you to fulfill your destiny, fire will fall. When your day of favour has fully come, it will not pass you by. Even when Moses seemed to have forgotten his call, at the time appointed for him to key into his destiny, the bush burned. For you the fire will fall. God’s timing is always perfect.
For he saith, l have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have l succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2.
When God says it is now time as He has said concerning your salvation (if you are not yet born again), delay is dangerous. A delay of 24 hours or even an hour can be costly. When God says it is time, it means there is no more space for procrastination. No more playing around when it is time. God expects you to do exactly what He has instructed you to. Is God urging you to pray? Do so. Don’t delay. God does not wait for anyone. Just imagine what would have happened if peter had gone to the rest room when the fire of the Spirit fell on those at the upper room; he could have been left out! If anything, although his change did not eventually come through the pool, yet, the man at the pool of Bethesda waited by the pool until his change came through Jesus. Today, many people miss God’s intervention in their lives for failing to know their time. Even in church, instead of listening attentively to the Word, some engage in useless discussions. Ideally, you are not supposed to be talking to someone when the Word of God is being preached. Where then is your reverence for God? Even ministers of God are guilty of this. If during sermon you have an urgent message to pass through to someone, write it on a piece of paper and send it through the ushers to the fellow. Your rapt attention is needed to prevent you from missing God
KEY POINT:
When it is your time, every second counts. Some have missed the word sent to meet their need due to seconds of distraction. Be wise!
Bible in one year: Isaiah 28-30

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...
