THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LEGS

Special Note.

These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his, disciples, of Christ, who was inspired and mandated by the Holy Spirit, effective, January 1st, 2015, to start writing these prayer points, based on the Open Heavens Daily Devotional  authored by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE:  WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4TH 2024

THEME:  THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LEGS

MEMORISE: And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.    Acts 3:8

READ:  Acts 3:1-11 

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

MESSAGE

As I mentioned in yesterday's teaching, God created you for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11), and He specifically created every part of your body for a purpose. Yesterday, I taught about God's purpose for your hands, and today, I will be teaching about the legs.

One of the main reasons God created your legs is so that they can dance for Him. Psalm 150:4 says:

Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

God expects you to use your legs to dance for Him. In today's Bible reading, a man was born lame, and even though he always sat at the gate of the temple and could hear the praises from inside, he couldn't dance. On that fateful day, he asked the apostles for money, but God had arranged for his legs to finally be able to dance for Him. He didn't get the money he asked for, but Peter took him by the hand, and his ankle bones received strength. The Bible says that he entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. May you always have reasons to dance, in Jesus' name.

If you want to know how important dancing is to God, you should read 2 Samuel 6:14-23. In that passage, David was dancing to God, but his wife reprimanded him because she thought that he had abased himself by dancing shamelessly. God was so upset with her, and as a result, she never had a child until she died. No matter how great you become in life, you must always ensure that you use your legs to dance for the One who lifted you.

Many years ago, we were at a meeting of pastors. During the praise session, l closed my eyes to avoid distractions as I danced to the King of kings. One of the men of God needed to get my attention for something, but he couldn't, because my eyes were shut. When he finally got me to open my eyes, he said, "Look at you, don't you know you are a General Overseer?" I ignored him because I was dancing to the One who made me a General Overseer, and I will keep dancing for Him until my last breath.

Beloved, ensure that you always show your gratitude to God by praising Him and dancing for Him. This way, He will continue to lift you up, and you will never cease to experience the beauty of His salvation (Psalm 149:3-4).

ACTION POINT

Take out at least five minutes to dance for God today and make it a daily practice.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  2 Corinthians 10-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 20: STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

his army he shall lead

till ev'ry foe is vanquished

and Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger

and strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with prayer;

where duty calls or danger,

be never wanting there.

4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY DECEMBER 3RD 2024

TOPIC: THE PURPOSE OF YOUR HANDS

MEMORISE:

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” - (Revelation 4:11)

READ: MATTHEW 12:9-13 (KJV)

9  And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

MESSAGE:

The Most High God does not do anything without a purpose, so, everything He created has a purpose. In the same way, every part of your body was made for a purpose. Our memory verse for today tells us that we were created for His pleasure. God sent you into this world to give Him pleasure. In fact, every part of your body was created specifically to give pleasure to God. Today, I will start teaching on the reason God made every part of the human body, and I will begin with the hands.

Psalm 47:1 says:

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

One of the main reasons your hands were created is to clap for God. In Mark 3:1-5, Jesus Christ healed the man with the withered hand, even though the leaders of the synagogue didn’t want Him to heal on the Sabbath day. God did not create the hands to be withered; the hands are meant to clap for Him. This was why, even though the man with the withered hand did not ask Jesus for healing, it was very important to Jesus that the man’s hand be made whole.

There are people whose hands do not look withered physically, however, when a fellow’s hands cannot achieve as much as they used to, they can be considered to be withered. Also, when a fellow cannot spend as much as before, or when he or she cannot get certain things done as before, the fellow’s hands can be said to be withered. When a person’s hands are withered, he or she cannot be joyful, and when the person is not joyful, he or she will not be able to clap. I decree today, that if you have a withered hand, it will be restored, in Jesus’ name.

If God has ensured that your hands do not become withered, then you will be ungrateful if you do not clap for Him in worship. If a fellow is ungrateful to God for His goodness and blessings, his or her hands are in danger of becoming withered. An ungrateful person is indirectly asking for his or her hands to be withered.

Beloved, I implore you to take a minute to think about all of the great and mighty things that God has done for you, and how great and powerful He is. Henceforth, always focus your thoughts on His goodness and clap for Him in thanksgiving and praise with all of your strength.

ACTION POINT:

Think about God's goodness daily and clap for Him with all your strength.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 CORINTHIANS 5-9

HYMNAL: 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE 

1 Take my life and let it be

consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Take my moments and my days;

let them flow in endless praise,

let them flow in endless praise.

2 Take my hands and let them move

at the impulse of thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

swift and beautiful for thee,

swift and beautiful for thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing

always, only, for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

filled with messages from thee,

filled with messages from thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;

not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

every power as thou shalt choose,

every power as thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it thine;

it shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart it is thine own;

it shall be thy royal throne,

it shall be thy royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

at thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself, and I will be

ever, only, all for thee,

ever, only, all for thee.

DATE: MONDAY DECEMBER 2ND 2024

TOPIC: THE POWER WITHIN. 

MEMORISE:

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8. 

READ:   Jude 1:17-21(KJV) 

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

MESSAGE:

Power can simply be defined as the ability to do work. Sometimes, you can tell that a person is powerful based on his or her physical appearance.

However, there is another kind of power that cannot be judged based on physical appearance alone.

For example, in Judges 15:14-15, when Samson took the jawbone of an ass and killed a thousand Philistines, amongst other great acts he performed, the Philistines could tell that he had extraordinary strength.

This was why they asked Delilah to find out the source of his extraordinary strength (Judges 16:4-5).

What they didn’t know was that the Holy Spirit always came upon him to give him the power to do the things that he did.

Unfortunately, sin made him lose his power (Judges 16:20).

Not long after I got born again, I got a letter inviting me to my village for a programme.

When I told my mother that I was going to honour the invitation, she became afraid because I had run away from the village after some people threatened to have me for breakfast.

By this, they meant that they were going to kill me using diabolic powers. I told my mother that I was now born again and no weapon fashioned against me can prosper.

She replied that I didn’t look different at all, and asked how I was sure that I was now powerful.

I told her that an electric wire that has electricity running through it and one that doesn’t, both look alike.

However, anyone who touches the one with electricity will know the difference. When you become born again, greater is He that is now in you than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

There are certain things that are needed to keep a fellow strong. Just like a bodybuilder is careful about eating healthy and exercising regularly, you also must be careful about what you let into your spirit.

You must also constantly engage in spiritual exercise. When a Christian allows negative things into his or her spirit man, such a fellow will be contaminated.

If you listen to worldly music, watch worldly movies, or view sensual pictures and videos on social media, you are reducing your spiritual strength.

Beloved, pray and fast regularly to maintain and increase the power of God within you.

As you do these and live holy, the power of the Holy Ghost within you will grow, and God will be able to use you for greater exploits in His kingdom.

ACTION POINT:

Grow the power of God within you by engaging in spiritual exercises daily..

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 1-4.
