OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: SATURDAY 20TH FEBRUARY 2021.
THEME: ALL POWER BELONGS TO GOD
MEMORISE:
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
Psalm 62:11
READ: Job 26:12-14
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
MESSAGE:
My God is very powerful. God's power is everlasting; it never fails nor diminishes. Only an all-powerful God could have created the sun with mere words (Genesis 1:3). Only an all-powerful God would part the Red Sea with a blast from His nostrils so His children could cross safely and then close it back to drown their pursuers (Exodus 15:8). Usually, food grows from the ground, but it takes an all-powerful God to rain food down from Heaven for His children to eat (Exodus 16:13-15,31).
In our Bible reading for today, Job described the omnipotent nature of God when he said:
“He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?”
Job26:12-14
How we describe God captures but a tiny fraction of the power He wields. Our minds cannot fully comprehend His power and that is why a lot of times, we undermine His omnipotence. Often times, we are quick to forget that nothing is beyond God. Luke 1:37 says that with God nothing shall be impossible. Jeremiah 32:17 says:
“Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”
God is able to bring to pass anything He desires. Many believers are living with problems today because they have not come to the understanding that all power in heaven and on earth belong to God. He is not a God that is limited by time or the acts of men. He is the Mighty Man in Battle, the Ancient of Days, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Undefeatable Champion, The Almighty God!
If you know how powerful God is, you will never undermine His ability to turn your situation around and give you victory in all battles of life.
Go before Him today in faith that He is the Almighty God and He will surely prove His Omnipotence in your life.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, help me to acknowledge at all times that all power belongs to You alone.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ephesians 4-6

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POW'R OF JESUS NAME.
1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
3. Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
4. Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Amen and Amen
