TOPIC: TOPIC: HIS REFINING PROCESS MEMORISE Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. - (Psalm 105:18-19) READ : Exodus 13:17-18 (KJV) 17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. MESSAGE In His wisdom, God often takes His children through different paths on their journey to greatness. He uses each step to refine their character and to separate them from anything that could hinder or destroy them after attaining greatness. For example, before Joseph became great, God took him through a pit, Potiphar's house, and prison, so as to build his character in...

THE ESSENCE OF GOD (PART 3) Friday 6 July 2012

-

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8
Read: 1 John 1:1-5
In the month of April, we looked at the essence of God through the prism of colours. God is light; hence we are looking at His essence through the colours of the rainbow, which are the same colours that result from the dispersal of white light when passes through prism.
Blue is the colour of love. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. Blue is also the colour of the ocean – referring to its inexhaustibility. While introducing Himself in Genesis 17:1, God simply says He is the inexhaustible One – The Almighty God. Some have asked me why I am not envious of others who are so blessed, and I tell them that there is enough for all. God’s goodness in your life shall never run out in Jesus name. Similarly, blue is the colour of the sky which means that when God wants to promote you, there will be no limit. Deuteronomy 33:27 says:
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them
When God lifts you up with His massive hands, there is no stopping you and nobody can bring you down. For instance, when God picked up a young shepherd boy at the backside of the desert and began to promote him, he became a king, but even long after his demise, the promotion continued until he became the father of the King of kings (Mark 10:47). Your rise this year shall not stop. Your promotion shall outlive you. You will be reckoned with in Heaven’s hall of fame.
Another colour of the rainbow which we see in the dispersal of light is green. It is the colour for Go in a traffic light. It refers to the power of progress. Green is the colour for growth. Green is also the colour of promotion. Psalms 75:6-7 says promotion comes from one source – above – from God. 1 Samuel 2:8 says God can pick a beggar from the dunghill and place the fellow among kings. This season, the Lord will promote you to your next level. Green is the colour of abundance (Psalms 23:1-5). It is also the colour of fruitfulness (John 15:1-5). Green stands for power which is fully available with God (Jeremiah 32:27). Are you lacking any of these? Cry unto the Lord today and He will supply all your needs.
PRAYER POINT:
In my life Lord be glorified always and help me avoid the pitfalls on my way. Father, stabilise my nation on her path to progress, prosperity and Godly fear.
Bible in one year: Leviticus 17-19

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. Daniel 6:3 READ :  Romans 12:10-21 [10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11]Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12]Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13]Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality  [14]Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
