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 ...

HE IS AT WORK Sunday 6 May 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Read: Philippians 2:12-14
We understand from 2 Timothy 3:16 that the Bible is a work of God’s inspiration. Some people think that such inspiration ended with the Bible but how wrong they are. Job 32:8 says:
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiratin of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
God inspired King Solomon into his breakthrough and is still inspiring many today. This season, the Lord will inspire you into your blessing in Jesus name. The Shunnamite woman was another beneficiary of God’s inspiration. When she saw the man of God passing by her house in 2 Kings 4:8-17, she invited him to come and eat in her house but he refused. She could have left him with the excuse that she had already tried. But God inspired her not to let him go. So she applied more pressure on him until she finally convinced him to do so. God inspired her not to stop there but to host him regularly, so she told him to always stop by whenever he passed that way. The Lord inspired her to take a further step of building an extension to their house providing minimal furniture for the man of God and she obeyed. Why? It was because God had already made up His mind to give her a child so He had to inspire her on the path to that miracle. When God inspires you to do something, He will keep nudging you until you complete the process and get your miracle.
As Jesus passed by Jericho in Mark 10:46-52, God inspired blind Bartimaeus to find out who was passing by. As a beggar, all he was expected to do was ask for alms from passers-by; but instead of that, he asked for who the crowd was following. The Spirit of God further moved him to begin to cry out: “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me”. When the crowd shouted him down, God inspired him to shout out the more and he got his miracle. Hence, Philippians 2:13 says:
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good peasure.
You may not know how you took the right step into an opportunity but God is the One at work. This season, the Lord will inspire you to take the right steps to the right place at the right time for that great expectation to be met in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, reorder my steps in line with the path to my breakthrough.
 
Bible in one year: Exodus 21-24

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...
