Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY 1ST APRIL 2022


THEME: THERE IS HOPE


MEMORISE:  

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 

Ecclesiastes 9:4


READ: Job 14:7 -9 

7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.


8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;


9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.


MESSAGE

One of the major things I have come to learn in my decades of walking with Christ is that there is no hopeless situation with God. It does not matter how bad the circumstances are, my God can reverse the seemingly irreversible. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the Bible tells us of a woman who was so poor and deep in debt that her creditors only hope of recovering their money was to sell her sons. However, in just one day, God turned her story around and she not only had enough to pay off her debt, she also had money to live on for the rest of her life. It doesn’t matter how poor you are now; I decree: God will prosper you, in Jesus’ name.


Your problem may be one of sickness. There is no one so sick that God cannot heal, I was in Ireland a few years ago when a Pastor brought a handkerchief to me to pray on. The lady he wanted to lay the handkerchief on was in the hospital and the doctors had said that she only had a 0.01% chance of surviving. I prayed on the handkerchief and the Pastor took it to her, My God then took the 0.01% chance of survival the doctor had mentioned and used it to give her a 100% healing. Beloved, it does not matter what report the doctors have given concerning you; as long as you can read this or listen to someone else read it to you, I decree that you are healed in Jesus’ name.

In the Redeemed Christian Church of God, we have witnessed several miraculous conceptions and childbirths. In some cases, the women were over sixty years old and some had been declared by medical doctors as unfit to conceive and deliver children. Sarah was 90 years old when she had Isaac. It doesn’t matter how old you are now, those who called you barren will soon be attending the naming ceremony of your children, in Jesus’ name.


God says in Jeremiah 32:27

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

 

The question is “Do you believe that He can do it?” James 1:5-7 says whoever comes to ask God for anything without having faith should not expect that he will receive answers to his prayers. A song writer once sang, “Don’t give up on God because He won’t give up on you”. There is hope that all things will turn around for your good if you keep your faith active and live according to God’s will.


ACTION POINT

Do somethings today that will really show God that you believe. He can turn your situation around for the better.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

1 Samuel 31 - 2 Samuel 2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 12:  MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1 My faith looks up to thee,

thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine.

Now hear me while I pray;

take all my guilt away;

O let me from this day

be wholly thine!


2 May thy rich grace impart

strength to my fainting heart;

my zeal inspire!

As thou hast died for me,

oh, may my love to thee

pure, warm, and changeless be,

a living fire!


3 While life's dark maze I tread,

and griefs around me spread,

be thou my guide.

Bid darkness turn to day,

wipe sorrow's tears away,

nor let me ever stray

from thee aside.


4 When ends life's transient dream,

when death's cold, sullen stream

shall o'er me roll,

blest Savior, then, in love,

fear and distrust remove;

O bear me safe above,

a ransomed soul!

9. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus. If death sees the blood, it will pass over, and so death and all its agents will pass over me and all my loved ones, in Jesus' name.

12. Your personal prayer request for yourself.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 26-30


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 8: I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining ev'ry day;

Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”


Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith, on heaven’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.


2 My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 


3 I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught a joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: WEDNESDAY 30TH MARCH 2022.


THEME: HOW TO RETAIN YOUR DOMINION.


MEMORY VERSE:

And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 

Matthew 10:22 


READ: Philippians 3:10 -15


10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,


11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!


12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.


13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,


14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.


15 Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.


MESSAGE 

One truth that we must embrace as we round off our discussion on dominion is that it can be lost if one is careless, arrogant, disobedient or lawless. A classic example of someone who had dominion but lost it is the first king of Israel  - Saul, according to I Samuel 15:1-30. He was not only disobedient, but also unrepentant. He chose to enjoy popularity among the people but this eventually made him lose the desired popularity when God's grace departed from him. To his face the women of Israel sang that "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands" (1 Samuel 18:7). Dominion attracts  fame and popularity; however, if care is not taken, these can make one los his or her dominion and eventually be left with nothing, thus becoming a shadow of his or her past.


Dominion brings about comfort but comfort when mismanaged can cause one to lose his or her dominion, as in case of David. The Bible says that at a time when kings were supposed to have gone to war, David stayed back to enjoy the pleasure of his palace. This was when he saw what he was not supposed to see, fell into a series of sins that brought a curse upon him to temporarily lose his dominion to his son Absalom. Thank God that he had a repentant heart and God mercifully restored his dominion to him (2 Samuel 11:15 - 18). The Bible says: "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsake them shall have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13). This might have made David write Psalm 51 which reads

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Psalm 51:1


2 Samuel 12:1-13 tells us of the tender mercies of God when David repented.


Beloved, let us be careful not to lose our dominion. To those who have lost their dominion, the good news is that God is ready to forgive if you would repent and trace your steps back to Him today.


There are people who never lost their dominion. Elisha was one of them (2 Kings 13:14-21). You will never lose your dominion, in the mighty name of Jesus.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to be obedient to You at all times so that I will never lose the dominion You have given me, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 23-25


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 19: O WORSHIP THE KING ALL GLORIOUS ABOVE

1 O worship the King all-glorious above,

O gratefully sing his power and his love:

our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,

pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.


2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,

whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.


3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.


4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.

Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,

our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

THEME:  PROOF OF DOMINION II


MEMORRISE:

 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.” 

Genesis 27:40


READ: Genesis 27:37-40 

37 Isaac said to Esau, “I have made Jacob your master and have declared that all his brothers will be his servants. I have guaranteed him an abundance of grain and wine—what is left for me to give you, my son?”


38 Esau pleaded, “But do you have only one blessing? Oh my father, bless me, too!” Then Esau broke down and wept.


39 Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him, “You will live away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the heaven above.


40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.”


MESSAGE 

We discussed fruitfulness as a proof of dominion yesterday. Today we shall look at various means by which we can be fruitful and have dominion. Hard work is one of the major means of fruitfulness. The Bible says, "The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want" (Proverbs 21:5). Laziness is not a Christian virtue. As a matter of fact, the Bible says "...this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10).


Diligence is so potent that it can be rightly said that nothing shall be impossible for the diligent. Dominion through diligence destroyed the yoke of Jacob on the neck of his careless brother, Esau. Even after he had lost his blessing to Jacob, Esau insisted that the father should give him the leftover of the blessings which his brother took from him.


On Jacob's return journey to his father's house, he was met with Esau who already had dominion. It is interesting to read that the man who got the blessing through crooked means was trembling before the one he had cheated of it.


And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced  him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and wept.

Genesis 33:3-4


The wives and children of Jacob came in succession to greet and bow before Esau. When Jacob tried to bribe his way into having peace with his brother the second time, the brother said he did not need Jacob's wealth. This is because he himself was already blessed to the extent that he had a personal army of four hundred men. (Genesis 33:8-11). Esau told Jacob he had enough; this was from a leftover blessing.


Diligence indeed leads to greatness, which in turn leads to dominion. Commit to being diligent in all you do (Ecclesiastes 9:10) and you will indeed have dominion.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please bless the work of my hands and let me have dominion through Your blessings, in Jesus name.

HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1 O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast,

and our eternal home:


2 Under the shadow of your throne

your saints have dwelt secure;

sufficient is your arm alone,

and our defense is sure.


3 Before the hills in order stood,

or earth received its frame,

from everlasting you are God,

to endless years the same.

are like an evening gone,

THEME: PROOF OF DOMINION I


MEMORISE:

You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 

John 15:16


READ: John 15:1- 8

1 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.


2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.


3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.


4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.


5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.


6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.


7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!


8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.


MESSAGE:

How can we know that someone has dominion? To prove that you have dominion, you must have something to show for it. Kings are known in their domain by their possessions. In other words, productivity and fruitfulness are proof of dominion.


The story was told of two friends who asked a seer to foretell their future and one was told he would be king while the other was told he would die a pauper. The one who was told that he would become king went home rejoicing and stopped working from that day. Meanwhile, the other man who was told that he would die a pauper went into the jungle and began to cultivate a farm. Some years later, there was a terrible famine in the land and as people were scouting around for food, they stumbled upon the huge farmland of this determined young man. They begged him to give them large supplies of food so that the townspeople would not die of hunger. This man agreed to give them food that would last the period of famine, on one condition. The condition was that they would make him their king. The people agreed and he was made king. The proof of his dominion as the king was in his ability to feed the people, even in the midst of the famine.


In our memory verse today, our Lord Jesus Christ said that the proof of dominion is fruitfulness. He stated clearly that when we bear fruit and our fruit abide, God will give unto us whatsoever we ask for in His name (John 15:16). That is dominion.


This is a pointer to the fact that only an achiever could say he or she has dominion. You can only achieve if you have God as your Ally because the Bible says that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders build in vain (Psalm 127:1).


To truly have dominion, connect with the Almighty God today.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please cause me to be fruitful from now on and establish my dominion before the whole world, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 18-19


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 8: I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1 I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining ev'ry day;

Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”


Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith, on heaven’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.


2 My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 


3 I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught a joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

DATE: SUNDAY 27TH MARCH 2022


THEME: THE ROLE OF THE GEM CALLED MOTHER.


MEMORISE: 

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. 

Proverbs 10:1 


READ: 1 Kings 3:16 -21

16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.


17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.


18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.


19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.


20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.


21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.


MESSAGE:

Today is Mother's Day and I pray that for every mother, your labour of love over your children will not go unrewarded in Jesus name. Mothers are very special people because of how passionate they are about their children. I have always said it: I am where I am to day because of the grace of God and the prayers of my mother. The prayers she constantly used to say then was that many others would respond when I called  on one person. In other words, her prayer was that I would be so influential that everyone would want to answer when I called.


A mother that does her duties right will set her children on the part towards fulfilling God's plan for their lives. In Matthew 20:20-21, the mother of James and John came to plead with Jesus that her children should be seated beside Him in heaven; it's no wonder these two were among the three closest to Jesus when He was on earth.


Mothers are pivotal to the fulfillment of the destinies of their children. It is however unfortunate that many mothers are so carried away by the things of this world that they forget their role in interceding for their children.


In our Bible reading today, one mother was sleeping so deeply that she killed her own baby.The other was also sleeping so deeply that her child was exchanged right under her nose without her knowledge. Thank God she awoke to fight back for her child. This tells us that if a mother is sleeping spiritually, she could kill her own children. If she is not prayerful and does not invest her time in raising them diligently, their destinies could be truncated right under her watch. When a mother would rather sleep than pray at night for her children, she is indirectly killing their destinies.


I pray that a generation of mothers would arise- a generation that would not take with levity the destinies of their children, a generation that would commit to ensuring that their children live to fulfill God's plan for their lives. 


Mothers, awake and prayerfully fight for the actualization of your children's destinies.


KEY POINT

Mothers are pivotal to the success or otherwise of their children

THEME: DOMINION III


MEMORISE: 

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 

Proverbs 4:7


READ: Deuteronomy 34:9 

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.


MESSAGE

Today, we shall continue to examine the subject of dominion. This time we are looking at dominion through divine wisdom which is the correct application of divine knowledge. Our memory verse describes wisdom as the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). Why is wisdom so important and correlated with dominion? The Bible says, "For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it" (Ecclesiastes 7:12). The Bible further says "Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city" (Ecclesiastes 7:19). Furthermore, the Bible says:

a wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

Proverbs 17:12.


One secret of the choice of Joshua as Moses' successor is wisdom, according to our text for today. How did he acquire this wisdom that gave him dominion? The same text reveals that Joshua's predecessor (Moses) laid his hands upon him. In other words, there was a transfer of anointing for wisdom, from Moses to Joshua. There is a lesson here: Joshua served his master wholeheartedly and he got what even the elders of Israel could not get - wisdom, which earned him dominion as the children of Israel obeyed him. 


Joshua 1:1 establishes the truth that Joshua indeed served Moses. The problem with modern day followers is that they are not ready to serve wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, scholars and motivational speakers over-emphasize principles of leadership only to leave the principle of followership behind. The truth of the matter is that you cannot be a good leader without first being a good follower. Joshua was a good follower, servant and diligent apprentice in the school of leadership; hence, he had dominion.


Beloved, if you want to have dominion, you must be full of divine wisdom. This is why the Bible says wisdom is the principal thing. This is possible through a daily study of the Bible. As you study the word of God, the Holy Spirit will reveal wonderful things unto you. (Psalm 119:18).


ACTION POINT

Draw an action plan to increase in wisdom. The daily reading plan in this devotional's Bible in One Year will be of great help.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 12-14


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 24: THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR

1 Through the love of God our Saviour,

all will be well.

Free and changeless is his favour,

all, all is well.

Precious is the blood that healed us,

perfect is the grace that sealed us,

strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,

all must be well.


2 Though we pass through tribulation,

all will be well.

Ours is such a full salvation,

all, all is well.

Happy, still in God confiding,

fruitful, if in Christ abiding,

holy, through the Spirit’s guiding,

all must be well.


3 We expect a bright tomorrow,

all will be well.

Faith can sing through days of sorrow,

'All, all is well.'

On our Father’s love relying,

Jesus every need supplying,

in our living, in our dying,

all must be well.

THEME: DOMINION II


MEMORISE: 

And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 

Genesis 13:5 


READ: Genesis 14:14 -16

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.


15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.


16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.


MESSAGE

Yesterday we started discussing the subject of dominion and we discovered that it was bestowed upon man at creation but he traded it for the forbidden fruit. Jesus however, came to redeem man and restore dominion unto all those who believe in Him. We will continue with our study today by considering dominion by association - that is, a person can have dominion if the fellow is associated with a powerful personality. An adage in my mother tongue says that a dog can kill a monkey if the dog has the backing of the hunter. In our memory verse today we see Lot having dominion over poverty because of his association with the friend of God - Abraham. However, he lost the dominion when he departed from Abraham in Genesis 13.


After a while, when Lot cut off his association with Abraham, the Bible says that the city in which Lot was living was invaded and because Lot has separated himself from the friend of God, he became a victim of the invasion. Had it not been for the mercy of God and the love of his uncle, he wouldn't have regained his freedom as we read in today's text. The Bible says:


And he (Abraham) brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Genesis 14:16.


Who we associate with goes a long way in determining our experiences in life. Proverbs 13:20 says:


He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.


Beloved, may l recommend Someone you can associate yourself with for everlasting dominion? His name is Jesus. The  Bible says that His dominion is everlasting. (Psalm 145:13).


Why live your life in one form of captivity or the other, when you can operate in dominion over every situation, circumstance, and mountain?


Come to Jesus today and have everlasting dominion.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me everlasting dominion over sin, Satan and the works of the flesh, in the mighty name of Jesus.

1. We are never, never weary of the grand old song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We can sing it loud as ever, with our faith more strong;

Glory to God, hallelujah!


Refrain

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright, and our souls are on the wing;

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!


2. We are lost amid the rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinions to the hills above:

Glory to God, hallelujah! 


3. We are going to a palace that is built of gold;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Where the King in all His splendor we shall soon behold

Glory to God, hallelujah! 


4. There we’ll shout redeeming mercy in a glad, new song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

There we’ll sing the praise of Jesus with the blood washed throng;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

THEME: DOMINION 1​​​​​​​​


MEMORISE: 

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 

Psalms 8:6 


READ: Genesis 1:26 -28

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.


27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


MESSAGE

To the human race, dominion should be a natural phenomenon because it was bestowed upon us at creation. Our memory verse for today attests to this truth. In other words, one can gain dominion by creation. For example, a buffalo is conceived the same way a lion is conceived. However, dominion is bestowed upon the lion over the buffalo. When David considered the privileged position God placed man in, he could not help asking, “What is man, that thou are mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalm 8:4). The question here is, “What should man do to appreciate the One who bestowed this dominion upon him? The answer is not far-fetched; the Bible says:


Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:1-2.


Beloved, you should not struggle to have dominion because it has been given to us at creation. Another question then is, “Is this a reality in the life of everyone? The answer is simply “No” and this is because man sold his dominion for a taste of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-7). This now leads us to the necessity of redemption. It is redemption that can restore this dominion.


I remember how I was running helter-skelter, away from wicked people who wanted to use me as their breakfast. I kept on running and suffering until I met Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my personal Lord and Saviour. When a man is redeemed from sin, he is redeemed completely form all other calamities that had dominated him hitherto. He is born again and re-created. 


This is why Jesus Christ said we must be born again (John 3:3). The Bible also says that whoever is born of God (John 1:12) overcomes the world through faith in the Son of the Living God (1 John 5:4-5). Beloved, you have dominion by virtue of your being a new creature in Jesus Christ. 


Claim, receive and exercise your Dominion.


KEY POINT

To access dominion, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

HYMN25: TO GOD BE THE GLORY


1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life our redemption to win,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

 

Refrain:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice;

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.


2 Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.


3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

THEME: HEALING OR WHOLENESS​​​​​


MEMORISE: 

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 

Luke 17:17 


READ: Luke 17:12 -19 

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:


13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.


14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.


15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,


16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.


17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?


18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.


19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.


MESSAGE

Healing is good but wholeness is awesome. When you experience healing, you must not stop at that – you must proceed to the level of wholeness in good health. There is a secret way to wholeness and that is the way of thanksgiving, praise and worship. Unfortunately, some people don’t know this way. They are incurable request-makers. All they do is issue command in the place of prayer. They issue commands without expressing any form of gratitude to the Almighty Owner of the heavens and the earth!


In our Bible text today, we read about how ten lepers confronted our Lord Jesus Christ with a request for healing. Jesus obliged them and asked them to go and show themselves to the priests. On the way, they all became healed. It however, remained one more step for them to get to the level of wholeness.


A typical example of wholeness is what Naaman experienced in 2 Kings 5:14. Naaman experienced wholeness – not mere healing, as there was no trace of leprosy on him after his encounter with the God of Israel.


Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 2 Kings 5:14


When the tenth leper saw that he was healed, he returned to Jesus to thank, praise and worship Him. Beloved, look around you and see the things God has already done for you, not just those you are seeking for Him to do.


Jesus was so impressed with this thankful man that He decreed his wholeness. The Bible says, “And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?...And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole” (Luke 17:17, 19).


Give glory to God, praise Him, avoid evil, so that you would not only be healed but made whole, too. Beloved, cultivate the habit of praise, worship and adoration of the Most High God. Live holy, and you will continue to enjoy divine wholeness.


ACTION POINT

Spend ten minutes giving thanks unto God for all He has done for you.

THEME: WHY YOU NEED DIVINE ANOINTING 2


Memory Verse: 

Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of Lord. 

James 5:14


Bible Reading: 1 John 2:27

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.


MESSAGE 

Yokes represent bondage and they are of different kinds. The yoke of sickness is a terrible one for anyone to bear and it must be completely destroyed. This is why you need divine anointing to destroy the yoke of sickness. This was a yoke that kept a man bound for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:2-9). The yoke of sickness wasted thirty-eight years of his life but he got his deliverance from that bondage when he encountered the anointing upon Jesus Christ. No child of God should be bound by the yoke of sickness since His anointing is available for us as we see in our memory verse today.


A Church that is void of God’s anointing is not worth attending because the Church is the last hope of the sick, especially for ailments described by orthodox medical practitioners as incurable or terminal. Testimonies of divine healings in our Church programmes confirm the importance of God’s anointing, particularly when it comes to the destruction of yokes of sickness.


One case that readily comes to mind is that of a sister who a doctor had said would die within hours. Her husband left her in the hospital, only to invite his mistress to come and spend the night with him in their home. “What about your wife?” the mistress asked. “She has only a few hours to live before she dies in the hospital” the unfaithful husband said, thinking the wife had reached the end of her life. To the glory of God, that same night, the anointing destroyed the yoke of sickness in the sister’s life; she discharged herself and went straight home, only to meet her husband with the mistress.


Handkerchiefs that carry divine anointing have destroyed yokes of sickness, times without number.


The anointing also serves as a defensive weapon against the onslaught of the enemy. Psalm 105:15 says, “… Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”. Beloved, as you seek the anointing of the Almighty God, every problematic situation you are faced with will be resolved to His glory, in the mighty name of Jesus.


ACTION POINT 

You need the anointing to overcome spiritual obstacles. Seek it from a genuine man of God.

THEME: WHY YOU NEED DIVINE ANOINTING 1


MEMORISE: 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 

Isaiah 10:27 


READ: Exodus 40:12-15 

12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.


13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.


14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:


15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.


MESSAGE

Many people do not know how important the anointing is and so they despise it. I have seen situations in which some brethren refused to be ordained because they ignorantly thought that refusing the anointing that comes with ordination is a sign of humility. They could not be further from the truth.


Exodus 30:25 says, ”And thou shall make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil”.


From the Scripture above, we can safely deduce that there are different kinds of anointing. Today, we will be discussing divine anointing which is holy and can only be gotten from God. This is the kind of anointing everyone should thirst and yearn for.


One of the reasons for divine anointing is service, according to Exodus 28:41. God commanded Moses to anoint Aaron and His children “that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office” (Exodus 28 41). Divine anointing seals promotion, as found in 1 Samuel 10:1. This is the case of Saul after he was divinely chosen to be the first king of Israel.


Promotion, particularly in spiritual assignments, takes greater responsibility which requires divine backing. In the RCCG, we ordain people in stages as they assume greater spiritual responsibility.


As we see in our memory verse today, divine anointing breaks yokes:

Divine anointing makes the impossible possible. Classic examples of divine anointing are when Samson tore a lion into two with his bare hands (Judges 14:5-6), and in 1 Samuel 17:33-36 that relates the exploits of David under divine anointing. He killed a lion and a bear after he had been anointed by Samuel. There is nothing a man under God’s anointing cannot do.

I therefore urge you to seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit today.


ACTION POINT 

Purge yourself of anything that could hinder the flow of divine anointing into your life today.
