THEME: DON'T BE GREEDY

MEMORISE: 

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 

Proverbs 15:27

READ: Proverbs 1:17-19  

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof

MESSAGE:

Proverbs 1:17-19 says he who is greedy of gain laid wait for his own blood. He ambushes his own life. God says you are waiting to destroy your own life when you are greedy. 

Proverbs 15:27 says the one who is greedy of gain troubleth his own house. You create a problem for your family when you are greedy. Children can get into trouble because their parents have been greedy.

Several years ago, when we were starting a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Zambia, a native who was supposed to be our first representative was collecting money for the purpose of building the Church, and diverting it to his private use. One day, his daughter was playing with their door - a little one installed to stop goats from gaining entrance into the house while fresh air and illumination can come from the top. Suddenly, the door broke off and a loose nail from it pierced the girl's eye and plucked it out. I prayed for the child, reminding the Lord of her father's service in the church. The Lord said I should ask him certain things. I did, further telling him about what God would do if he lied. With his head down, trembling, he said, "I have not been faithful. I have been misappropriating the money sent to me to build the church".

Those who are greedy may show off their ill-gotten wealth

and parade themselves as smart, but as the word of God

stands sure, their real pain is on its way. Some are already

going through their own pain and are hiding it from the

whole world. Don't get tempted to become like them

because you don't know the sufferings they are hiding in

the background.

Greed is an invitation to take unlawfully what is not yours.

The interesting thing is, that thing you are greedily desiring

can be yours if only you will patiently go through the right

process. Those who allow greed to override contentment

in their lives will eventually lose what they have. The devil

was an archangel but lost it all because he was greedy for

what could never be his. A greedy fellow has no gratitude

for God's blessings in his or her life and believes in

snatching what belongs to others.

Think about all God has done for you this year and express your gratitude to Him so He can do more for you in 2024.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, help me to be happy and content with all you have given me, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 18-19

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 16: PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM, OUR BLESSED REDEEMER

1 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!

Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!

Strength and honor give to his holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.

In his arms he carries them all day long.

Refrain:

Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.

Praise him! Praise him! ever in  joyful song.

2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.

He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.

Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,

love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.

3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!

Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious.

Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 29TH, 2023.

THEME: SETTLED BEFOREHAND 

MEMORISE: 

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 

Isaiah 45:2

READ: EXODUS 15:22-25

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

MESSAGE:

In our Bible reading for today, long before the children of Israel got to Marah, there was a tree growing by the pool of water. The implication of that is this: before your problem started, God had provided the solution.

Whatever may be the nature of your problem, the solution is already waiting. All you need from God is guidance on what the solution is and how to use it. Psalm

90:2 says: "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

God has been there before whatever mountain might be blocking you, so He can uproot it easily.

The good thing is that God is not only the Alpha, He is also the Omega (Revelation 1:8), so He knows the future as well as the past. He knows the things that the devil may be planning for you in 2024 and so will provide all you need to overcome him in the new year, even from now, in Jesus' name.

He has already put in you all that you need to overcome in 2024. Fear not. Before Goliath started terrorising Israel, the stone that would kill him had been formed, waiting for when David would pick it up, put it in his catapult and shoot it at the giant. Before the Philistines came for Samson, the jaw bone of the ass was already there, waiting. Before 2024 arrives, the things you will need to overcome in the new year are already available to you. The tree that would turn bitter water to sweet had been there before the Israelites got to Marah; all that happened when Moses cried unto God is that light shone on a particular tree and God told Moses what should be done with it.

Isaiah 30:21 says that when you find yourself at a crossroads, you would hear a word behind you, showing you the way. I pray that the way you will walk successfully through 2024 will be revealed to you today, in Jesus' name. God will show you what to do to succeed in the new year, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for in you do I trust, Please Lord cause me to know the way I should walk for I lift up my soul unto You. (Psalm 143:8)
