JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

 

LET'S PRAY 🙏

 Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. May this promise of the Most High God manifest in you and your concerns that dryness would be replaced by divine freshness, favour, fruitfulness and growth in all ramifications in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY MARCH 20TH, 2024.

THEME: THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING

MEMORISE: 

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.    

Matthew 20:22

READ: Matthew 20:21-23 

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? 21 She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

MESSAGE

Over the past two days, I have been discussing some lessons from Philippians 3:10, and l today, I will be going even deeper. Apostle Paul said clearly that he wanted to know the fellowship of Jesus' sufferings; in other words, he wanted to partake in the sufferings of Jesus Christ. Ordinary Christians don't pray this kind of prayer; the prayer of the ordinary Christian usually sound as follows, "God heal me, set me free, give me a car, prosper me, promote me, make me fruitful" You won't hear an ordinary Christian praying, "God, let me suffer for you. I pray for you that you will leave the company of the ordinary today and enter into the company of the extraordinary, in Jesus' name. 

Paul was a great example of an extraordinary Christian. He was eager to know God and to suffer for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:16-17 says:The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

It is when we suffer with Jesus that we can be glorified with Him. Paul said, "Let no man trouble me, I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 6:17). In other words, he was saying, "I have scars to show that I suffered with Him."God glorifies those who are partakers of the sufferings of Christ. It's just like a responsible man whose wife suffered with him during tough times. When things get better, there will be nothing money can afford that he will not buy for her. One of the reasons I value my wife greatly today is that when I resigned from lecturing and moved into the middle of nowhere, telling everyone that it is a city that God promised me, she moved in with me. It was tough, but she backed me all the way and partook in my suffering. Now that things are better, she is partaking in the glory.

Are you seeking for opportunities to experience the fellowship of Jesus' suffering? Have you suffered with Him in any way? Congratulations if you said, 'Yes' genuinely to these questions because when it is time to be glorified, you will be glorified with Jesus. If you, however, are among those denying Him, remember that He said that He will also deny such persons before His Father in Heaven (Matthew 10:33).

PRAYER POINT

Lord, I want to know the fellowship of Your suffering. Please let me partake in Your suffering.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ruth 1-4

HYMN 12: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,With the cross of Jesus going on before.Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain:

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,With the cross of Jesus going on before.

 

2. At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

 

3. Like a mighty army moves the church of God;Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.We are not divided, all one body we,One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

 

4. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,But the church of Jesus constant will remain.Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.

 

5. Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,This through countless ages men and angels sing.

 Jeremiah 17:8 (KJV)  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. May the Lord by His mercy see you through every turbulence of life, provide for you, grant you the grace to be fruitful yielding fruit in season and out of season in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY 19TH, MARCH 2024.

THEME: THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION

MEMORISE: 

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Ephesians 1:19

READ: Romans 8:10-14

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

MESSAGE 

When Apostle Paul said that he wanted to know the power of His resurrection in Philippians 3:10, he was saying that he wanted to know the power that raised Jesus from the dead. There is a power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. That power, according to Romans 8:11, is the power of the Holy Spirit, the power that can quicken your mortal body. That power is still available to the children of God even after Jesus Christ died, rose, and went to heaven.

It is a great thing to be baptised in the Holy Spirit.

However, there is an experience and encounter that goes far beyond being baptised in the Holy Spirit. When you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you speak in tongues, but speaking in tongues is not enough; you need to be baptised by fire too. Speaking in tongues is wonderful, and I encourage it, but you can't go to some nations, get into their marketplaces, and start speaking in tongues and think you will win souls for Christ; you might lose your head or spend the rest of your life in prison! You need the fire of the Holy Ghost.

Whether you believe it or not, every force that is in heaven, on earth, or underneath the earth, is subject to that power that raised Jesus from the dead. This is why the world fears Pentecostalism. If there was one dead fellow that the devil did not want to rise, it was Jesus Christ, because he knew that if Jesus rose from the dead, he was finished. However, that power that raised Jesus from the dead was so powerful that with all the things that the devil tried in Matthew 27:62-66, Jesus still rose from the dead.

He is higher than all principalities and powers, and His rising from the dead opened the door for you and me to also be higher than them. Ephesians 2:6 says:

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

The scripture above shows clearly that believers in jesus Christ are now seated with Him in heavenly places. Once you know that power that raised Jesus from the dead, no witch, wizard, demon, or principality will be able to overcome you. You will begin to command demons, and they will obey speedily. If you want to know that power, pray today's prayer point with all your heart.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, baptise me with the Holy Spirit and fire. Please let me know that power that raised You from the dead.
