TOPIC: HOLINESS AND DIVINE BLESSINGS MEMORISE : Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4 READ : Luke 5:1-9 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other sh...

GIVE PROBLEMS NO VOICE Wednesday 9 May 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own baby now dead, when he was about an hundred old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: Romans 4:19
Read: Romans 4:17-19
The patriarchs of old were often times confronted with very frustrating and hopeless situations yet they overcame. Are you in a hopeless situation, is that hopeless situation presently asking, where is your God? You will prevail. One of such patriarchs was Abraham. He waited for about 25 years to see the fulfilment of God’s promise concerning Isaac. Boy! That was no joke. At the age of 75, God made the promise. Even at that time, there was very little that man could do, yet God allowed things to degenerate to a point of total hopelessness – when he was 100 years and his wife 90 years. Abraham’s case was a very bad one. The scripture says his body was no longer responding and so was the womb of his wife. For his expectation to produce result, he refused to allow the prevailing negative circumstances surrounding them to affect him. He knew the problems and limitations he was facing but he gave them no voice.
Some believers are afraid to go for medical check up –particularly a comprehensive type because they do not want to be told they have one sickness or another. That is ignorance. Many believers have died untimely for failing to know their health status so that they can know how to pray on their specific health needs, and how to adjust their lifestyles to live healthier lives. Lack of rest or exercise has led some to an early grave, leaving their assignment incomplete. Abraham knew his health status and that of Sarah; and since there was nothing, humanly speaking, that could be done; he applied his faith and hoped in God. He did not pretend about the problem. He knew that for a couple to have children the man’s body must be with living cells and the wife’s ovary must be alive, but he refused these problems a voice. He used his faith to shut the voice of the deadness of Sarah’s womb and his own dead body. You too can know your health status but shut the voice of any problem with your health through your faith in God. This season, your good expectation shall be granted.
ACTION POINT:
Go for medical check up one or twice a year, preferably a comprehensive one if you can afford it. Pray and take practical steps on the results.

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.
