LETS PRAY ๐Ÿ™

Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. May the Lord by His mercy give you and I the grace to increase in the knowledge of who He is and in the knowledge and understanding of His word never looking back in Jesus mighty name. 


Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2023.


THEME: THE WORKS OF GRACE VII


MEMORISE: 

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 

1 Corinthians 10:23


READ: 1 Corinthians 6:11 -12


11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.


MESSAGE


Over the past six days we learnt that God first draws you to Him and if you yield, He saves you by cleansing you with His blood. Sanctification and baptism in the Holy Spirit then follows, after which you receive the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. We will round off this study today by looking at how the Lord brings His children to perfection. 


Our Lord Jesus said In Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." In this context, perfection can be understood as when you only do things that edify. There are some things that may not be regarded as sin in themselves but then, they are not edifying. The place of perfection is when you avoid such things. This is when you begin to see some things that, though lawful, are not expedient for you to do. (1 Corinthians 10:23).


For example, gossip may not be viewed as sin, but does it edify you? Only a few people get to this stage in their walk with Christ - where they have gone beyond just what is sin and what is not, engaging only in things that edify them while avoiding things that don't.


One of the signs that a person is experiencing this work of grace is that the fellow will pay attention to doctrine. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is therefore profitable, amongst other things, for doctrine which will lead you to perfection. This, even when you have been performing miracles, signs and wonders, you still need to pay attention to doctrine because "Forever O Lord, thy word is settled " (Psalm 119:89).


God is therefore saying to you, whatever level you are in now, "Come up higher". Don't just stay on the level of being cleansed from your son's, move to being sanctified. Don't think that the moment you can speak in tongues, then you have arrived; go on to receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit and then ensure you also produce the fruit thereof, so that the gifts don't destroy you. And lastly, be amongst the rare set of people who are made perfect (Matthew 5:48). You have to keep going higher until you become perfect, such that people would look at you and say that you are a true child of God.


PRAYER POINT 


Father, I want to be perfect as You are; please take me to this level, in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 6-8


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

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2023.


THEME: THE WORKS OF GRACE VI


MEMORISE:  

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

Matthew 7:18


READ: Galatians 5:22-25


22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,


23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.


24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.


25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


MESSAGE


As we continue with our lessons on the works of grace, we will study a manifestation of the Holy Spirit in believers called 'the fruit of the Holy Spirit'. If a Christian has gifts of the Holy Spirit but does not have the fruit of the Holy Spirit listed in our Bible reading of today such a person is headed for destruction. An example of this is when a believer becomes proud because  God performs miracles through him or her. Matthew 7:22-23 says: 'Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will l profess unto them, l never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity". They had the gifts of prophecy and working of miracles, but God didn't even know them. That is because though the gift was present in their lives, the fruit was absent. This is why you must never be satisfied with just having the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The fruit is more important than the gift, so you must ensure that you experience this important work of grace.


According to Galatians 5:22:23, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.  While you may already be working  miracles, God is asking you to move higher. You may be performing miracles, yet are difficult to live with, you might get the gifts and still end up in hell. What will it profit you if you are a powerful evangelist but get left behind when the rapture takes place? Of what use is your anointing if you will end up in the same place as the devil? Anointing is good and l love it, but l don't want to be anointed and then become a candidate of hell; God forbid. Jesus Christ said if you want to know those who will go to heaven, look out for the fruit of the Holy Spirit in them, not the gifts.


Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 


Matthew 7:20-21


Don't be deceived by the anointing of God already at work in your live. If you don't manifest the fruit of the Spirit, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.


PRAYER POINT 


Father, please let me begin to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit from today, in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 4-5


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 


When we walk with the Lord 


in the light of his word, 


what a glory he sheds on our way! 


While we do his good will, 


he abides with us still, 


and with all who will trust and obey. 


Refrain:


Trust and obey, for there's no other way 


to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 


2 Not a burden we bear, 


not a sorrow we share, 


but our toil he doth richly repay; 


not a grief or a loss, 


not a frown or a cross, 


but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]


3 But we never can prove 


the delights of his love 


until all on the altar we lay; 


for the favor he shows, 


for the joy he bestows, 


are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]


4 Then in fellowship sweet 


we will sit at his feet, 


or we'll walk by his side in the way; 


what he says we will do, 


where he sends we will go; 


never fear, only trust and obey
