OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28TH 2025

TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING HARVESTS MEMORIZE : While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 READ : Mark 4:26-29  26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. MESSAGE The first thing to understand about harvests is that they ultimately come from God. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Also, harvests come in different levels, which Jesus identified as thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold (Mark 4:20). Some Bible scholars believe that a thirtyfold harvest results from...

VISIONS OF GOD Friday 7 December 2012


Memorise:
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:56

Read:
Mark 1:9-11

If the doors of Heaven are open to you, you will most likely see visions of God like Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:1). What you see affects you in tremendous ways. Many people are in hell today because of what they saw. They are now regretting seeing what they saw. The progress or otherwise of many people is as a result of what they saw. If you see heavenly visions, your mind will be more focused on Heaven, pleasing God and working for your crown and other rewards. When you see the visions of God, you will become ambitious about becoming great in the Kingdom that never ends. What are you seeing? Where are you looking at?

In Acts 7:56-60 when Stephen looked up, he saw the visions of God the Son. Even though he was in the midst of enemies who were about to stone him to death for his faith, what he saw took away every bit of fear from him. He was full of boldness seeing Heaven standing up for him. When you see the visions of God, persecution will lose its power and devastating effects in your life. You will no longer care who is watching and who is not. You will not care about the sufferings, hunger, denial or difficulty you are going through. Oh! There is so much that God wants to release to us from Heaven but only very few people are looking up. In Mark 1:10, when Jesus was baptised, He looked up and saw the Heavens opened and He saw the vision of the Holy Spirit. His life was never the same. The silence over His life suddenly became a thing of the past. Earlier, we heard of His birth heralded by an angelic choir. Later, when He was older, the wise men visited Him from the east. Then when He was 12, He was forgotten in Jerusalem but was later found in the temple reasoning intelligently with the doctors of the law (Luke 2:1-52). After He returned home with His parents, there was a silence of about 18 years. After He saw the vision of the Holy Spirit, that silence was forever broken. His ministry took off in power and within about 3½ years; He accomplished what many cannot do in 10 life times. When you see the visions of God, your ministry will take a new turn.

Prayer point:
Father, give me a revelation of Yourself capable of sealing my fate in Heaven.
 
Bible in one year
Jeremiah 17-20
