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 ...

PROVOKING WHAT CHANGE? Saturday 26 May 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee; goodness if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also shall be cut off. Romans 11:22
Read: Isaiah 38:1-8
God moves in mysterious ways to perform His wonders. In performing such wonders, God can overrule anybody’s decision, action or plan at any time. He can also overrule His own decisions but nobody can overrule God’s. Overruling Himself reveals His two sides. In Isaiah 38:1-8, the Most High sent His prophet to King Hezekiah asking him to put his house in order because his time was up. But Hezekiah told God he was not ready to die yet. What did God do? The Lord sent His prophet back to tell him that he would no longer die but rather have an additional 15 years. On this side, God could allow His mercy prevail over your life to a point that He will bend the rules just to favour you. This season, the Lord will bend the rules in your favour in Jesus name.
On the other side, God could overrule His earlier promise due to certain circumstances. We see this in the story of Eli (1 Samuel 2:30) when God changed His initial plan concerning them. The Most High is a wonderful friend to keep when on your side, but a very dangerous enemy when not on your side. If He was once on your side but later becomes your enemy, you are in serious trouble. He is not someone you can cheat and go free. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says:
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Some people think God is too busy to keep records of everybody’s activities. Oh how deceived they are! Nobody can fool God. Some people only engage in eye service activities – things done in God’s house merely to be noticed whereas the fellow is not sincere. Why many continue their nefarious activities is because God’s judgement appears a bit slow. But if you think those who are secretly stealing from the church are getting away with it, you are deceived. What they are stealing in secret will soon expose them publicly. If you are secretly shinning, you can make God to reverse His promise and plan for your life.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, have mercy on me in any way I have disobeyed You. Please, never change Your original plan for my life.
 
Bible in one year: Romans 12-16

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...
