TOPIC: FREEDOM OF WORSHIP I MEMORISE :  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1   READ : Matthew 6:21-24 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   MESSAGE All humans have the freedom to worship whatever they want to. Even in countries where people are restricted from worshipping publicly, nobody can restrict anyone from worshipping his or her 'god' privately. This freedom to worship has been given by God; however, you must be ...

NEUTRALISING CURSES Saturday 12 May 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. Isaiah 28:18
Read: 2 Kings 2:19-22
Besides overruling, the God we serve – the Most High God – overrules curses. In 2 Kings 2:19-25, Jericho was a beautiful city, yet there was barrenness, death, bad water, etc. as a result of a curse placed over it by Joshua (Joshua 6:26). But through the servant of the Most High, the curse was lifted. A lesson here is that not only can individuals or families be cursed, but communities and cities can equally be cursed. Living in a cursed community is not an interesting experience. Virtually everyone there will suffer from affliction brought about by the curse. But you, as a change agent, can break the curse over your community and set everyone there free like Elisha did. Another lesson is that any curse placed by a man of God can be broken by another man of God who has a higher anointing. Joshua destroyed Jericho and placed a curse over it that should prevent it from being rebuilt. But the one with double portion of the anointing on Elijah broke the curse.
Have you made a covenant with the forces of darkness contrary to God’s will before you became a Christian? God says it shall not stand. The Most High can overrule hell, that is, He can command hell not to take you (Isaiah 28:18). This season, the Lord will command hell not to take you. You shall end up in Heaven, not in hell in Jesus name. One person God spoke to hell that it could not have was Paul. He was so evil that he called himself Chief of Sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). Ordinarily, a chief of sinners should occupy the hottest parts of hell yet, he became the Chief Apostle. In addition, because He is the Most High, He can also promote far higher than any man. The height you can promote a person to is a function of how high you are yourself. If I lift six footer above my head with my two hands, you can be sure that within minutes, my hands will become weak and compel me to put the fellow down. Governors can appoint commissioners but it will take the president to appoint ministers. However, with God, there is no limit to the extent He can lift you. When He lifts you up, Heaven, not the sky, will be your limit because that is where His throne is.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, concerning me, my nuclear and extended families, overrule hell for our sakes in Jesus name.
 
Bible in one year: Proverbs 1-3

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 : 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: STAND FIRM MEMORISE:  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive: Ephesians 4:14 READ: Daniel 1:8-16  8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten d...
