OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY 13TH FEBRUARY 2022

THEME: TWO-SIDED FORGIVENESS.

MEMORISE

 ”Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”

Psalm 32:1 

READ: 1Peter 3:6-7  

6 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you became, doing good and fearing no terror.

7  Likewise, husbands, live together according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife as to the weaker vessel, the female, as truly being co-heirs together of the grace of life, not cutting off your prayers.

 

MESSAGE

Forgiveness is the term used to indicate pardon for a fault or offence.  It signifies the liberation of a person from guilt and its consequences, including punishment.  It usually comes as an act of favour, compassion or love, with the aim of restoring a broken relationship.  It may involve both the cancellation of punishment and debts.  God forgives the sins of Christian,s out of love, based on the sacrifice offered by Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.  By this, sins are no longer held against children of God, according to Romans 3 :25, Acts 13 : 38 - 39 and 1John 1 :6 - 9.  The sinner is thus, by this act of grace, forever freed from the guilt and penalty of sin.

This act of forgiveness is offered freely to everyone through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Anybody can access the forgiveness of God by meeting three basic conditions:  genuine repentance (remorse for all sins committed), confession of such sins unto God, and believing that Jesus is the Son of God who, by the shedding of His blood and death on the cross, has washed all such sins.

As God has showed us unmerited love, mercy and grace in wiping away all our sins through the blood of Jesus, He commands us to do the same: to love our neighbours and keep no record of sin against our fellow men.  This is where the necessity of two-sided forgiveness comes in. As a matter of fact, God expects us to live by the principle of forgiveness, with the understanding that, in order to receive forgiveness from Him, we must in turn, be ready to forgive others (Luke 6 : 37).  In the same manner, Ephesians 4 : 32 says “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you”.

Unforgiveness deprives us of divine forgiveness and blessings.  In contrast, forgiveness leads to peace, reconciliation, healing, unity, progress, joy, prosperity, and answered prayers.

Settle all unresolved disputes you may have with everyone, even if you were the offended party. Let the love of God shine through you to others and become a dispenser of the abundant grace and mercy of God.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please grant me the grace to forgive others, so that I also may receive mercy and forgiveness in Jesus name

THEME: PRAISE MOVES GOD

MEMORISE

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;                  

1Peter 2:9 

 

READ: Act 16:25-26

25And toward midnight Paul and Silas prayed and praised God in a hymn. And the prisoners listened to them.

26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were loosened.

 

MESSAGE

Praise is probably the most potent weapon of any kind in the whole universe.  Apart from the fact that God created man primarily for the purpose of showing forth His praise (Isaiah 43:21), It is capable of moving God into action beyond our wildeslt imagination.

A leper praised God in Matthew 8:1 – 4; he was instantly healed of his leprosy.  David the shepherd boy wrote poems and sang praises to God; the Lord miraculously appointed him to sit on the throne of Israel.  The army of Israel sang praises to God and the wall of Jericho fell flat before them in Joshua 6:20, King Jehoshaphat and the people of Israel praised God in the beauty of His holiness in 2 Chronicles 20 : 20 – 25, and God set an ambush against their enemies to destroy them completely.  Paul and Silas sang praises to God in the prison; Acts 16 : 25 – 26 says “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praise unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed”. Such is the power of praise.  As you praise God today, the hosts of heaven will move on your behalf, in Jesus’ name.

We can be provoked to praise God like in the above examples by learning a few things from them. They were motivated to praise God by three important factors:  the knowledge of God, the vision of God, and the past miracles that God had done in their midst.  With our focus on these three factors, the power of praise will always fill our hearts.  Above all, praise usually leads to divine intervention.  People are lifted by praising God.  Praise always turns problems to stepping stones, tests to testimonies and trials to triumphs. When people praise God, obstacles give way to miracles, attacks give birth to attractions and disappointments give way to divine appointments.

You must note however, that you can only be qualified to praise God acceptably if you are genuinely born again ad consecrated to Him.  Surrender your life to Jesus today if you haven’t done so and never stop praising Him from now.

God bless you.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please let the power of praise begin to manifest in my life, in Jesus name.

HYMN 17: Oh Lord My God, When I in Awesome Wonder

1. Oh Lord, my God

When I, in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Refrain

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

2. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin

3. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration

And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

DATE: FRIDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 2022

THEME: COMMIT YOUR DESTINY INTO GOD'S HANDS

MEMORISE:

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"                                                                                          Ephesians 1:11 

READ: Romans 8:28-31.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

MESSAGE

Destiny speaks of the event that will necessarily happen to a person in life. Though the word was not expressly used in the Bible, we see various passages that describe God choosing different people for specific callings or assignment. According to Genesis 18:18-19, God said; "Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."

In Jeremiah, God said He had ordained Jeremiah a prophet, even from the womb. The Almighty God is a God of plan and purposes; He is always at work to secure His children's destinies, though behind the scene in a patient way that respects human choices and natural processes. For example, Esther had the choice of rejecting her preordained role of saving the Jews, but chose to accept it. Esther 4:14 "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

Please note that what could be considered an error on the part of Abraham by fathering Ishmael turned out to be instrumental to the fulfillment of God's covenant with him, as it was the Ishmaelites who took Joseph to the place of destiny fulfillment.(Genesis 37:26-28). That is why the Bible in Isaiah 55:8 says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD." For this reason, you must hand over your destiny to the Lord.

To fulfill destiny, you must be upright and God-fearing, forgiving people just as Joseph readily forgave his brothers. As we see in our Bible reading today, all things work together for good to those who love God and called according to His good purpose.

Hand over your destiny to God now, and you would certainly have a glorious future.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please work all things out for me, according to the counsel of Your will, in Jesus' name.

DATE: THURSDAY 10TH FEBRUARY 2022

THEME: THE WIND OF CHANGE

MEMORISE:

 "Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."                        

Ezekiel 37:9

READ: Exodus 14:21-28

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

MESSAGE

The wind of change is a term commonly used to describe breakthrough and blessings of great significance. However, it has a much deeper meaning in Christendom. The wind is an invisible force endowed with the capacity to accomplish unbelievable things. A seemingly harmless wind could become highly empowered to bulldoze anything in its path when it graduate into a storm.

The wind therefore symbolizes the move of God. It is usually called into action whenever God wants to accomplish great things. In Exodus 14:21 "......the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." In Numbers 11:31 ".....there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth." Also, in Ezekiel 37:9, the Lord commanded Ezekiel saying, ".........Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. In verse 10, Ezekiel said, "So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."

It is therefore clear from the above examples that when the wind of God blow there will be a way where there was none, as it happened in Exodus14:21-28. There will be restoration of life according to Ezekiel 37:5-10, and there will be abundant provision as seen in Numbers 11:31. Also, there will be deliverance in line with Acts 16:26, and divine promotion as in 1 Samuel 16:12-13; "........And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward...."

The wind of God can, however produce negative results for disobedient people, as seen in Jonah 1:1-2. As you surrender your life to God in holiness and righteousness, in total obedience to His commandments, He will cause the wind of change to blow in your favor, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please let the wind of change blow in my favor today in Jesus name.
