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.

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

5. All to Jesus I surrender,

Now I feel the sacred flame.

Oh, the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory to His name!

THEME: THE VERY LAST DAY II.  

MEMORISE:

The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 

Zephaniah 1:14 

READ: Zephaniah 1:14-18  

14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

MESSAGE

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD commeth, for it is nigh at hand: Joel 2:1

The very last day of this present age is the day of rapture. That day will be a day of rejoicing for some and a day of sorrow for many. Those who are living holy now will rejoice because they will be caught up with Jesus Christ in the skies and will go to heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:17). The rest however will cry because they would have missed the rapture. In which group will you be?

From our memory verse today, we see that on that day even mighty men will cry bitterly, Money and connections will not get anyone to heaven; in fact, the Bible says that the love of money will derail many from the faith (1 Timothy 6:10). All your wealth will not help you that day; it is only Jesus Christ that can save you.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And know not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

Matthew 24:38-39

Jesus said that day will be like in the days of Noah, Everything seemed okay and people were marring before that day just like they are doing now, but when the trumpet sounds, only those in the family of God will gain entrance into the ark. The One who will open the ark of salvation to us is Jesus Christ. He cannot be bribed or deceived, so those who are pretending to be living holy now will not enter the ark. After we who are in the family of God have been saved, then the flood of tribulations will start and the Bible says woe unto the inhabitants of the earth at that time (Revelations 12:12).

Nobody knows when Jesus will return for His saints. If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, I plead with you to do so now, before it is too late.

ACTION POINT

If you want to be saved, surrender your life to Jesus now and begin to live holy henceforth.

THEME: THE VERY LAST DAY 1

MEMORISE:

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 

Isaiah 13:9 

READ: Isaiah 13:6 -11 

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

MESSAGE

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:40-41

On that very last day, many will lose their friends. Husbands will be separated from their wives. Some mothers will be separated from their children. One will go to heaven while the other will remain. That fellow who has been preaching to you lo live a holy life will no longer be there to preach to you, he or she would have been raptured? I also will no longer be here and that year will be the last year that this Open Heavens Devotional will be published. 

Beloved, surrender your life to Christ now and live holy so that you will not be left behind on that day. From that day on, all these things you chase - money, houses, cars, fame , marriage and so on will be of no relevance. The only things that will matter is whether you are in heaven with Christ or on earth with the Anti-Christ. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. Isaiah 13:11 

For those of us who will go to heaven, weeping will end permanently that day (Revelation 21:4). The world may be mocking us for living holy now. They may seem to be enjoying life now, but that very last day is coming when the sorrows of everyone who had not surrendered to the Lordship of Christ will begin. On that day, in the part of the world where it will be daytime, the sun will not shine its light. Where it is night , the moon will be darkened. The punishment of sinners would then start. Oh, I hope you will not be around to to experience the punishment that will come after the rapture. I can assure you that you would wish you had given your life to Christ.

Put aside all the cares of this world that are hindering you from living holy now; they will no longer matter on that day. I pray you make it to heaven, in Jesus name.

KEY POINT

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

HYMN 6: HO, MY COMRADES,SEE THE SIGNAL

1. Ho, my comrades! see the signal

Waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing,

Victory is nigh!

Chorus

Hold the fort, for I am coming!

Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to heaven,

By Thy grace we will!

2. See the mighty host advancing,

Satan leading on:

Mighty men around us falling,

Courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving!

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader's name we'll triumph

Over every foe!

4. Fierce and long the battle rages,

But our help is near:

Onward comes our great Commander,

Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
