DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 2ND 2023


TOPIC: IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THE RIGHTEOUS


MEMORISE:

"Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings." - 

(Isaiah 3:10)


READ: REVELATIONS 22:11-12 (KJV)


11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.


12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.


MESSAGE:


Today's memory verse is probably one of the most loved verses in the Bible. It assures us Christians that our tomorrow will be all right. One young fellow came to me some time ago and said he had heard that I was a prophet of God. I said, "Well, I am actually a Pastor, but I do hear from God once in a while". He said, "No, I was told that whatever you prophesy comes to pass". I said, "God has been faithful. How can I help you?" He responded, saying, "Can you tell me my future?" I asked, "Are you born again?" He said, "No". I told him, "Your future will be terrible". He said, "But how do you know; you don't even know my name. You haven't even prayed". I responded, "I don't have to pray. It is written in Isaiah 3:11, "Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him", and the word of God is forever settled". He then asked, "What if I had said I was born again?". I told him, "Then I would have said your future will be great, according to Isaiah 3:10. If you have given your life to Christ, then you can say confidently, "My tomorrow will be all right".


Believe it or not, your walk with God will determine your future. If you do some evil things now and think you have gotten away with them, you are deceiving yourself. Unless you repent, ask God for forgiveness and begin to live holy, you would still reap the consequences of your sins (Proverbs 6:12-15).


When the Bible says in Galatians 6:7 that God is not mocked and that whatsoever a man sows, shall he reap, it is no joke. Many people are suffering rejection, poverty, near-success syndromes, diseases and other forms of trauma today because of the unrighteous things they did in the past. Many go from Church to Church seeking deliverance, whereas their deliverance is in them repenting and making restitution. Some people are however, enjoying favour and good things because they have been living holy by the grace of God.


Your eternity is determined by the way you live while on earth. Jesus Christ is calling on you to surrender all to Him and live a righteous life in Him so that it indeed will be well with you.


KEY POINT:

Your future is dependent on your lifestyle now.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MATTHEW 1-4


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL:  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.


REFRAIN: 

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 power of grace divine

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.


3. Oh, 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 cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.

As you you come into His presence today, may the Resurrection and the Life visit your case and unearth every good potential hitherto buried in Jesus mighty name. Happy Sunday!!!

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

Most Holy One;


Oh, make me Thine indeed,


Thou blessed Son.
