HYMN 26
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS
1 There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
3 There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honor Thy Word.
4 There shall be showers of blessing;
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023.
THEME: HEARING GOD
MEMORISE:
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Isaiah 55:3
READ: Psalms 29:3 -9
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
MESSAGE
I was merely a mathematician before God anointed me as a pastor. What would a mathematician possibly have to say that can profit you if God is not speaking through him? My life and ministry is built on what God says. My ears are always open to Him because when He speaks, power is at work. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says where the word of a king is, there is power. In The Redeemed Christian Church of God, we have seen great miracles - the dead coming back to life, blind eyes opening, women without wombs conceiving and delivering babies, and many other great testimonies, only because God speaks and power follows.
Believe me honestly, the only way to live abundant life is to be able to hear God's voice. I pity people who cannot hear or do not even know Fod. A believer that cannot hear God cannot work miracles, neither can he or she escape the traps of the devil.
John 6:68 says it clearly:
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the word of eternal life.
You cannot live without the spoken word of God. As a matter of fact, man was created to live by the word of God (Matthew 4:4). This is why the Bible is my favorite book because it has made me relevant to my generation. I will continue to read it so that God can do more in and through me.
You must also ensure that you choose carefully those you listen to. If you can hear God but listen to people who cannot , they will surely mislead you. Who are the people you go to for advice? Who are the people you depend on for correction? Proverbs 13:20 says a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
If your heart is pure and you haven't heard from God, you need to pray until God opens your ears to hear Him. Set yourself apart and seek to hear God (Habakkuk 2:1). Your soul will live only by what you hear. Your future and the fulfilment of your destiny depend on what you do with the instructions you received from God. Hear life and live.
ACTION POINT
Fast for three days and pray to the Lord to open your ears so you can hear him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Zechariah 11-14
AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
HYMN 10: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
1 I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee.
2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
4 I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
5 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
