TOPIC: TWO KINDS OF WONDERS MEMORISE : To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.  Psalm 136:4 READ : Exodus 12:21-30 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come In unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL: THURSDAY 18th MARCH 2021.

TOPIC:  EVANGELIZE

MEMORISE:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19

READ:  Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

MESSAGE:
The charge to win souls is not a suggestion it is a command. In other words, it is not negotiable. Every true believer must carry a burning desire and burden to reach out to the unsaved. If you love Jesus you will preach His gospel to the lost because He does not desire the death of sinners, He wants every sinner saved (Ezekiel 18:23).

“And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Matthew 19:29

From the passage above, we see that God will generously reward everyone who participates in evangelism because they are in partnership with Him. Not everybody can be a full-time evangelist, but in your little corner, you are to win souls, as well as supporting and praying for the full-time evangelists risking their lives to obey God's mandate of preaching to the unsaved souls, visiting their families and encouraging them financially. The work of missions is dear to God's heart and ignoring it is ignoring Him.

“At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it  be sin unto thee.” Deuteronomy 24:15

God said you should not owe anyone their wages and 1Corinthians 3:8-9 says those who are involved with missions are His laborers. In other words, the moment you begin evangelizing, your name enters His payroll and believe me honestly, He will never owe you your wages. What exactly is your wage as an evangelist?

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15 :16

The wage of an evangelist is a blank cheque from the richest being in the entire universe. If I were you, I would decide today to make soul winning my lifestyle.

ACTION POINT:
Pick up your phone and call somebody to tell them about Jesus Christ now and make this a habit.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 40

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 13:  I'VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD, HALLELUYAH.

1.       I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!
This message unto you I’ll give,
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”

o   Refrain:
“Look and live,” my brother, live,
Look to Jesus now, and live;
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”

2.       I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!
A message, O my friend, for you,
’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!
Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.

3.       Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!
Eternal life thy soul shall have,
If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!
Look to Jesus who alone can save.

4.       I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!
To Jesus when He made me whole—
’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!
I trusted and He saved my soul.
