TOPIC: A BRAND-NEW HEART III   MEMORISE :  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18   READ : Matthew 13:5-6, 20-21  5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.   MESSAGE The second kind of soil Jesus described in His parable about the sower is 'Stony places'. This soil type can be compared to people who receive the word of God with joy but turn their backs on it when they begin to encounter tough situations in their live...

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
