TOPIC: THE KEYS TO FREEDOM 2 MEMORISE See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; - (Deuteronomy 30:15) READ : Exodus 21:1-6 (KJV) 1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. 5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever. MESSAGE Yesterday, I mentioned that admitting there is a burden and recognising ...

DIVINE REPACKAGING Sunday 13 May 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:27
Read: Romans 8:26-27
In Mark 5:1-20, the Lord Jesus Christ was at a graveyard. But what was He doing there? He was paying visit to a mad man who had made the graveyard his residence. In whatever hoe you are hiding the Lord will visit you. By the time the man saw Jesus at a distance he ran to him, fell on his face and worshipped Him contrary to what the demons in him wanted. Who told this man to take such an action? It was the Spirit that inspired him and told him, “That is the fellow who can deliver you. Shut your ears to all the other voices you are hearing now, run with all your strength to Him and when you get there, worship Him”. He obeyed the prompting of the Spirit and he was delivered that day. This tells us that God can even prompt a mad fellow to take the steps that will eventually secure his deliverance. Are you battling with insanity? Have you been hearing strange voices? In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I command every strange voice to disappear now. I rebuke you spirit of insanity and I command you to take your leave now in Jesus name.
Similarly, in Matthew 15:21-28, when the Canaanitish woman came to meet the Lord to ask for the deliverance of her daughter, He did not say anything but secretly, He was inspiring her to keep calling for help until she asked for bread crumbs and He gave her the miracle. Sometimes, when we are making our request, we do not know how to package it well. Left to ourselves, many of our prayers that were answered would not have been answered if not that the Holy Spirit assisted us in repackaging the request. This is why Romans 8:26 says:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.
From James 4:3 we understand that we don’t receive when we ask amiss. But praise God that through the help and inspiration of the Spirit, we can reach our goal. May you be inspired afresh today!
ACTION POINT:
One way you allow the Spirit to repackage your request is by praying in tongues. Endeavour to pray for one to two hours in tongues daily.
 
Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 32:34

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.
