OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2023.
THEME: JUST A WORD
MEMORISE:
But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not leave by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
READ: Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
MESSAGE:
Psalm 119:130 says : "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple". Therefore, when God sends a word to you, what he is sending to you is light. A particular word of God can enter into your spirit. You might have been hearing it before, you might have read it a thousand times, but all of a sudden, that particular word of God jumps to you and you know, this is the solution to your problem.
A man who was very wealthy fell on so hard a time that he decided to commit suicide. He planned on that day to go to church and dance so much as if celebrating his departure. When he got to the church, the preacher was talking about Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego. The preacher explained that the Hebrew boys believed God would deliver then though they did not know how He would do it, and He did deliver them. That was all the man needed to hear and he thought to himself, "My situation is so bad, I don't see how it can improve, but I don't need to know how, I just know it will improve". He decided not to kill himself anymore and the day he was sharing his testimony, he had just bought 14 cars for his workers. All he heard was a word. When the word of God comes to you, suddenly, light comes and that light chases away every form of darkness in your life.
All that you need to be healed and to live in divine health is just a word of God (psalm 107:20). When God sends a word to you, it will come with the power and faith that you need to receive it and walk in it with confidence. Once you have received it with faith, then it will become your reality.
What area of your life are you not yet walking in dominion as a child of God? You need to ask God to send His word to you concerning that area. In whatever area of your life that you have been timid before, a word from God will turn you into a lion in that area. You will become indomitable. This is why you should not miss your personal quiet times every morning and fellowships with brethren. You can never tell when God will send that word that will librate you forever.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, send me a word that will change my life forever today in Jesus name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 31-32
