TOPIC: SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED III   MEMORISE:  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21   READ : Genesis 26:1-6 1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my la...

HIGHEST PROMOTION POSSIBLE Saturday 19 May 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Psalms 75:6
Read: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
God neutralises curses and promotes. Nobody will want to lift another person above himself. When somebody is talking about promoting somebody else, it is to a level such that the promoted fellow is still under him. For instance, in Genesis 30:1-5, when Potiphar promoted Joseph and put him in charge of all he had, he still remained a slave. Also, if a human being promotes you, the same fellow may demote you as it happened in Joseph’s case. But when God decided to promote Joseph, He took him above his master to a level where he became a master, while Potiphar became his servant. God’s promotion caused them to switch roles. This season, the Lord will promote you. He will lift you so high that those above you will be placed under you. Similarly, in 1 Samuel 16:1-13, God said He had chosen David from the house of Jesse as king, even when nobody considered him. This is why I am glad God is not a democrat but a sovereign king. If it were by election, no vote would have been recorded in David’s favour. Even his father would not have voted for him, much less his envious brothers. Are people ganging up against your promotion in that office? Fear not! The Most High will bypass them and lift you above them.
In Mark 10:46-52, the outcry of Bartimaeus was quite significant. He cried: “…Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Verse 47). He was saying, “I know you are the King of kings but your father is David. God took David, a shepherd boy, made him king and kept on promoting him until he became the father of the King of kings”. When God decides to promote you, even after you have left planet earth, the promotion will continue. What have you done or are you doing to provoke divine promotion? If you want God to promote you, you must be humble, extremely humble because the extent of your humility will be the height of your accent. You must also love God with all your heart, praise and worship Him, serve Him with everything you have. Pray and place your trust in Him. Also do whatever He says you should and He will lift you up.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, lift me to the level no human hand can lift me.
 
Bible in one year: 2 Peter 1-3

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. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
