DATE: FRIDAY MARCH 10TH, 2023.

THEME: WAITING ON GOD

MEMORISE: 

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. 

Isaiah 40:31

READ: Psalms 27:13-14

13  I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

MESSAGE

Not many people know what it really means to wait on God. I'll try to explain it using how a waiter waits on guests at an upscale restaurant. The waiter ensures the guest sits comfortably then proceeds to take his or her order. The waiter then ensures the order is delivered promptly and exactly as specified by the guest.

Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 6:13, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Having done everything you know to do before God, stand. Once you are serving Him, winning souls, following up on them, paying your tithes, giving your offerings honoring Him with your first fruits and all else you know to do, according to His word, the only thing left is to stand. You are to wait on Him, asking "Lord, what else do you want me to do?" The moment you get an answer, jump into action.

When those who wait on the Lord go to Him in prayers, they pray the way He want them to: they pray His word back to Him. Since it is His word, He will answer it. They don't pray only just when they feel like it, many times, they feel Him nudging them to pray even when they do not feel like. Those who wait on the Lord don't seek their own pleasure in life; all they want is to please their Master. If God tells them, "I need all the money in your bank account for this project" they don't hesitate; they drop the money immediately. They are always at His beck and call, willing and eager to do His bidding.

Now when you have had a very good waiter attend to you at a restaurant, you are likely to drop a tip for the fellow. The tip that God gives you in return for waiting on Him, according to lsaiah 40:31, is that He will renew your strength. This means that sickness and even old age will not have power over you. He will become your doctor, taking care of you by Himself. Also, He will give you wings to fly like an eagle. In other words, you will be in a class of your own. Great men will call you great. You will excel so much in all you do that it will be difficult for anybody to beat your record. Commit to waiting on God from today, He rewards all those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

REFLECTION 

Are you willing to become God's waiter?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 18-20

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

  And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

  And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

  To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

    To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

  By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

  And my will be lost in Thine.

3 O the pure delight of a single hour

  That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

  I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love that I yet may know

  Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

  Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

DATE: THURSDAY MARCH 9TH, 2023.

THEME: IN HIS PRESENCE

MEMORISE: 

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 

Psalms 16:11 

READ: Psalms 24:3-6

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

MESSAGE

The presence of the Most High God is the best place anyone can be in. Those who spend time in His presence are always in control of life's situations rather than the other way round. Elijah was just coming from the presence of God in 1 Kings 17 when he commanded that there should be no rain or dew for three years and it was so. If you want to be in control, then what you really need is to be in Gods presence. It's a good thing we have the criteria required for you to be in Gods presence listed in our Bible reading for today. They are as follows:

You must have clean hands. In 2 Corinthians 6:17, God said: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and l will receive you." You have to be careful what you touch with your hands. I've always told my children to be careful what they sign. If a report is wrong or misleading, don't append your signature. Don't steal, don't manipulate reports, watch what your hand touches.

Your heart must be pure. Matthew 5:8 says: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Be careful of what you let into your heart and what you meditate upon if you truly want to dwell in His presence.

Your heart must not be lifted up to vanity. Colossians 3:1-3 says: "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God". You must regularly check what motivates you to do what you do. Are you driven by material or spiritual things? 1 John  2:15 says you should not love the world or things of the world, that if you love the world then the love of the Father is not in you.

You must not be a liar. Revelation 22:15 made it clear: "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." If you are a liar or someone who takes part in the benefits of other people's lies, God will keep you outside His presence.

REFLECTION

Based on the list discussed today, are you qualified to be in God's presence? If not, make amend today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 14-17

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1 In Christ alone my hope is found 

He is my light, my strength, my song 

This cornerstone, this solid ground 

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 

What heights of love, what depths of peace 

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 

My comforter, my all in all 

Here in the love of Christ I stand  

2 In Christ alone who took on flesh 

Fullness of God in helpless babe 

This gift of love and righteousness 

Scorned by the ones He came to save 

Till on that cross as Jesus died 

The wrath of God was satisfied 

For every sin on Him was laid 

Here in the death of Christ I live  

There in the ground His body lay 

3 Light of the world by darkness slain 

Then bursting forth in glorious day 

Up from the grave He rose again 

And as He stands in victory 

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 

For I am His and He is mine 

Bought with the precious blood of Christ  

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death 

This is the power of Christ in me 

life's first cry to final breath 

Jesus commands my destiny 

No power of hell, no scheme of man 

Can ever pluck me from His hand 

Till He returns or calls me home 

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

THEME: WHAT YOU WEAR MATTERS

MEMORISE: 

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 

Zechariah 3:4 

READ: Matthew 22:9 13

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MESSAGE

What you wear matters. While it is true that God says in 1 Samuel 16:7 that He looks at the heart, it is also true that what is inside you can reflect on the outside. The way harlots would dress should be different from the way a child of God does. In order to buttress this point to my Bible College students one day, l bought two oranges of the same size - one yellow, the other green. I stood before the class and asked them to indicate which they would prefer to have. They all chose the yellow one, because, according to them, it was the ripe one and would be sweet. I asked how they knew and they replied: "The outside shows". That's the point l'm trying to make.

What you wear really matters. In Matthew 22:1-14, a king went through the crowd of guests at his son's wedding and saw a man who wasn't wearing clothes suitable for a wedding and so commanded that the man be kicked out.

I was talking to a relative who was always dressing like people of the world. I said, "You belong to a special family. The enemies are looking at us; if they want to attack they will look for someone who is among us but different from us. You're the only one standing out. If they decide to attack, they will find it easy to pick on you". That change the person's mind completely.

Finally, you remember the story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. When he was told that Jesus was calling on him, the first thing he did was throw away his garment. He was saying, in essence, "I will never dress like a beggar again; l'm not going to beg again, l'm not going to sorrow again, l'm not going to be in darkness again. "When you give your life to Jesus Christ, there should be a change of garments.

In Mark 5:25-34, the woman with the issue of blood said, "l just want to touch the hem of his garment". The clothes Jesus was wearing was the conduit for the anointing that healed her. Acts 19:11-12 tells us that handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from the body of Paul to effect healing and deliverance. Your dressing is important and should glorify God always.

KEY POINT 

The Spirit of Christ in you should be reflected even in your dressing.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 11-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 11: I'VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1 I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Apple-tree of trees, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. 

In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay,

He tells me every care on Him to roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

2 He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;

In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;

I’ve all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn

From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

3 He’ll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,

While I live by faith and do His blessed will;

A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,

With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,d

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.dx,

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY  MARCH 7TH, 2023.

THEME: THE STORM STILLER

MEMORISE: 

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 

Mark 4:39 

READ: Mark 4:35 -41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

MESSAGE

A storm is a problem so big and weighty that no one can single-handedly resolve it. However, storms can be stilled, and from my study of the Scriptures, such an occurrence is the result of the collaboration between God and man.

When a storm was brewing at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, there was a need for the servants to collaborate with Jesus in order to still it (John 2:1-10). If they had argued about pouring water inside a pot and taking a cup of it to the Chairman of the wedding, the storm would not have been  stilled.

When the prophet's widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 was hit with a storm that would have taken away her sons, she was told to borrow many empty vessels into which she was to pour her little oil. That instruction did not make any sense but she did her part by obeying and God did His by multiplying the oil. If you can collaborate with God, He can help you still any storm.

Some years ago while preparing for a programme in the North, l was told how the sandstorms there could get so bad that there would be no visibility at all. I said, "l See". That evening, while holding the programme outside as the crowd was too much for the little Church, a sandstorm suddenly started and people began to panic. I then heard my Father say to me, "Stretch your hand and say, "Peace". I did just that and immediately, the wind stooped, the sand fell back to the ground and we had a wonderful programme. In Mark 4:35-4, the Lord and His disciples were travelling in a boat when a storm arose. The Lord got up and stilled the storm, but then asked, "Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"

Is there a storm in your life that has threatened you for long? The question for you is, "How is it that you have no faith?" Don't you know that, if you would only collaborate with God, you would still that storm? Go to God in prayer and stay in His presence until He tells you what to do to still that storm. A man or woman of God should not be frightened by a storm. He or she should simply speak peace to the storm in the name of Jesus and it would become still.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please tell me what to do to still the storm (mention the storm) in my life and family, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 8-10

HYMN 9: IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE GOD ONLY WISE

1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;

thy justice like mountains high soaring above

thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

3 To all life thou givest, to both great and small;

in all life thou livest, the true life of all;

we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

and wither and perish but naught changeth thee.

4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;

all praise we would render, O help us to see

'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.
