TOPIC: JUST KEEP SOWING MEMORISE And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - (Galatians 6:9) READ : Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 (KJV) 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

WORD OF HOPE Wednesday 18 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but l hope in thy word. Psalms 119:81
Read: Psalms 119:73-80
At the peak of the famine in Samaria described in 2 Kings 6:25-30, the elders and the king sought help from the Lord by going to the house of Elisha. Immediately, Elisha spoke a prophetic word that there will be a shift from their existing extreme hardship to extreme abundance and it was so. In the name that is above every other name, I decree that God is moving you from your current unpleasant situation to a positive extreme state within the next 48 hours! From 2 Kings 7:1-2, we learn that God is aware of the situation of famine that His children go through. Jesus confirms this in Matthew 6:8:
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
God knows your situation and he knows your needs ever before they are voiced. If God is not responsible for a famine, then you can trace the cause, take necessary corrective measures and ask Him to remove it. But if He called for it, He has a reason for doing so. In such a situation, prayerfully seek His face to determine the purpose of the famine and what you are expected to do next.
We also learn from the same scripture (2 Kings 7:1-2) that the prophetic word from a truly anointed servant of God can be used of God to do the impossible. All Elisha did was to make a pronouncement according to the Word of God and a paralyzed economy was revived in 24 hours! The word of God gives you hope. If you give God’s Word its rightful place in your heart, you can never be hopeless. Words of men cannot do you much good in a time of famine or hopelessness. In fact, listening to some people at such a time may compound the situation. The Word of God has something for the hopeless. It will rescue you from the doldrums of despondency and hopelessness. No wonder that, in spite of all that the Psalmist passed through, he kept hoping in God’s Word (Psalm 119:74, 81). If you want to receive courage, guidance and hope from God, read the Bible daily, spend time to study it, listen to it often, meditate on it and do it.
ACTION POINT:
Pray that God will make a way for nations going through famine and war to restore abundance and peace to them.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 10-12

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.
