TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING HARVESTS MEMORIZE : While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 READ : Mark 4:26-29  26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. MESSAGE The first thing to understand about harvests is that they ultimately come from God. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Also, harvests come in different levels, which Jesus identified as thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold (Mark 4:20). Some Bible scholars believe that a thirtyfold harvest results from...

WHERE LIES YOUR CONFIDENCE? Wednesday 11 April 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. Psalms 118:9.
Read: Psalms 118:7-9
The famine in Samaria described in 2 kings 6:25-33 was so bad that cannibalism became an option for survival. A woman went to seek help from the king. But how could a king who could not help himself assist another? In a time of famine, looking up to man can be a very futile endeavor and yield a frustrating experience. While everyone in the city including the king panicked, Elisha sat comfortably in his house. God supernaturally made a way for him in the famine. If you fear God, He can single you out and provide for you while others are experiencing a famine. God can bless your business beyond measure that other people will come to ask how you are doing it. That shall be your portion this season in Jesus name. While Elisha was relaxed in his house, the elders of the city came to meet him for help. Eventually, the king also came to the house of the man of God where he got a word from God, which solved their problems.
Are you going through a famine situation and yet you keep away from God’s house or from God? You are not yet ready to come out of it! In the time of lack, hunger and disappointments, who do you run to? If you run to God, you can be sure He will solve your problems. A time of suffering is a time to remember God. It is possible that if you had remembered him earlier, you might not be going through that unpleasant situation. A time of hardship is a time to call on God’s servant to help you with prayers of intercession. You will also observe that God did nothing about the famine situation until the elders and also the king came to His servant. When the leaders of a nation turn to God but their head refuses to, God may not take them too serious. But when the head together with the leaders under him turn to God, the Lord will answer speedily. We do not know for how long the elders of Samaria were with Elisha, but as soon as the king joined them, a prophetic word was provoked. For God to take your family more seriously, do not rest until both parents and all members of your family are saved.
ACTION POINT:
Pray for those in trouble, who have run to the wrong places for solution, to be redirected to where their solutions are.
Bible in one year: James 1-2

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: 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: 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...
