Matthew 5:6   READ : Exodus 33:7-11 7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. 8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses. 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. 11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face ...

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Corinthians 6:1
Read: 2 Corinthians 6:1-9
God loves hardworking people but hates the laziness. When He looks for people to give assignments, He often looks for hardworking people. If you see a lazy and nonchalant fellow occupying an ecclesiastical position, ask him how he got there because God has no business with lazy bones. Even when a person becomes mad, that state of insanity does not take away industry or hard work from the fellow. When you observe mad men, you will know those who were hardworking and those who were lazy among them. The lazy ones will sit all day long or scavenge in one location for virtually the whole day, but the hardworking ones will go far distances – even travelling several kilometers on foot. Sometimes while travelling from one state to another, you will see some mad fellows moving from one state to the other all on their feet. Very hardworking mad fellows can easily receive the mercy of God. If you see them, pray for them and the Lord will deliver them.
Why did Jesus in Mark 5:1-20 come all the way to a graveyard in search of a mad fellow bypassing other people? It was because that mad man was a diligent fellow and He knew that after his deliverance, he would use his energy and diligence to serve the Lord. Hence, Jesus delivered him and he became an evangelist, combing the whole country for Jesus. Similarly, if you are an extrovert, it is great. God wants you to use that extroverted nature to reach out to people, make friends, go from place to place speaking for Him and leading souls to Christ. If you were extroverted before you were saved but thereafter you became introverted and hardly speak with anyone, you are getting something wrong. One reason God saved you was because of your extroverted nature which He expects you to use for the increase of His Kingdom. Paul was an extrovert and worked for Satan but after his conversion, he worked much more for Jesus touring different countries for the Lord. Are you adequately engaging your temperaments?
KEY POINT:
Night crawlers and those who travel from place to place attending clubs and parties are potential instrument in God’s Kingdom. Lead them to Christ.
 
Bible in one year: 2 Chronicles 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: 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.
