John 10:10 (KJV) READ : Psalm 37:3-7  3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

BREAKING OF BREAD Saturday 2 June 2012

-
Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
Read: Acts 2:40-43
It is possible to be totally free of sickness for that is God’s desire for us.
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes , I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26.
Healing is good and highly desirable but some people who are well do not appreciate their state of well being. Like it is commonly said, you may not know the value of what you have until you lose it. Can you eat and easily digest it? You need to thank God because there are those who can hardly take any solid food because of their inability to digest it. Can you drink water and easily urinate? Thank God for it because there are those who have to be assisted with that function via dialysis. Thank God for your legs that you can stand, walk and even jump because there are those who have legs but cannot use them for anything.
Healing is good but living a healthy life is better. Better still is carrying the healing virtue. In John 6:5-13, Jesus was faced with the challenge of feeding 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fishes; immediately He broke the bread after He gave thanks, they were multiplied. At the Holy Communion we re-enact the “Breaking of Bread” which symbolises His body that was broken for us (1 Corinthians 11:24). How was His body broken? His body was broken by the stripes He received. These stripes paid the price for our healing, 1 Peter 2:24 says we have been healed by His stripes. But before the breaking of bread comes the giving of thanks, it is the giving of thanks that releases the power for multiplication and healing. As you go in to partake of the Holy Communion, do you give thanks for the body broken for you before requesting the blessing and healing? Know that the power to multiply your blessing and the power to renew your body are both available when bread is broken at the Lord’s Table. Every blessing you can ever desire is available at the Lord’s Table. Just come with your faith giving thanks.
ACTION POINT:
Father, as l approach the Communion table this season, let your healing virtue flow through me to others and multiply my blessing. 

Bible in one year: 1 Thessalonians 4-5

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.
