DATE: SATURDAY AUGUST 3RD 2024

THEME: DISCIPLINE SHAPES YOUR FUTURE

MEMORISE: Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11

READ: Genesis 25:29-34

29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

MESSAGE

While I was in secondary school, my teacher told us that every human being came into the world with a pillow of suffering which they must use before they leave the earth.

You can choose to use your pillow of suffering when you are young so that you can enjoy your life when you are old, or you can keep it intact and enjoy yourself when you are young.

However, you must understand that you will surely use the pillow when you are old.

If you decide to use your pillow of suffering when you are young, you will put yourself through strict discipline.

You will study while others are playing, attend vigils while others are partying, build a good character while others are engaging in vices, and save while others spend all their income.

The memory verse for today says that periods of discipline may not seem pleasant, but they bring peace of mind in the future.

Those who do not put themselves through discipline early in their lives will surely have their pillows of suffering waiting for them in the future. The choice is yours, go through the suffering of discipline now, or face the consequences of indiscipline later.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Ecclesiastes 7:8

Your end is more important than your beginning. It doesn’t matter if you are from a poor background; what matters is that you don’t die poor. It doesn’t matter if you were heading to hell; what matters is that you end up in heaven. Don’t trade your tomorrow for the short-term pleasures of today.

Esau was hungry, and he traded his right as the firstborn for a plate of porridge; he traded generational blessings for a single plate of porridge!

Today, we would have been talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau, but Esau gave his position to Jacob because he wanted to eat porridge. You might say that Esau was foolish, but many people are doing the same thing today.

There are people who were destined to be great prophets but never fulfilled their destiny because of five minutes of sexual immorality.

Some potential owners of multinational businesses trade working on their business ideas for a little more sleep every night.

Beloved, the cost of discipline today is nothing compared to its gains in the future.

REFLECTION

Am I going through the discipline that is necessary for a better future now?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Jeremiah 4-5

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

that calls me from a world of care, 

and bids me at my Father's throne 

make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

my soul has often found relief, 

and oft escaped the tempter's snare 

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

the joys I feel, the bliss I share 

of those whose anxious spirits burn 

with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

where God my Savior shows his face, 

and gladly take my station there, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

thy wings shall my petition bear 

to him whose truth and faithfulness 

engage the waiting soul to bless. 

And since he bids me seek his face, 

believe his word, and trust his grace, 

I'll cast on him my every care, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

DATE: THURSDAY AUGUST 1ST 2024

THEME: HUMILITY, PRIDE, AND MIRACLES

MEMORISE: And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldestnthou not have done it? How much rather then,

when he saith to thee, wash, and be clean?

2 Kings 5:13

READ: Matthew 15:22-28

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

MESSAGE

God does not give miracles to proud people. I have noticed that everyone who got a miracle Jesus approached Him in humility. The leper in Matthew 8:2-3 worshipped Him, the centurion

in Matthew 8:5-10 didn't send a messenger but came personally to ask Jesus to heal his servant, and the woman in Matthew 15:22-28 was practically insulted by Jesus when He likened her to a dog, but she took no offence. On the other hand, everyone that would have gotten a miracle from Jesus but didn't, exhibited pride in one way or the other, especially the people of His hometown (Matthew 13:54-58). The Bible says that He is only able to do a few miracles there.

Naaman almost died a leper because of pride. He went to the prophet for healing and was told to go and wash in River Jordan. He got angry and wanted to return to his country to die as a leper because he thought that a man of his calibre should not wash in the Jordan river. Thank God for his servants who talked sense into his head.

Sometimes, God will give me an instruction that sounds childish during our Holy Ghost Services. Because l am a child in His hands, I will tell the people what He says, and those who are not too big to obey the childish instruction will come back to testify about how they got their miracle after obeying Him. One time, God told me to call out all those who had back pains and dance around them. That was a very childish thing to do, but I obeyed, and when I was done, their back pains had disappeared, and they could all bend over to touch their toes conveniently.

If you are too proud to submit to a man of God, you cannot get a miracle through him. If you are too big to carry out an instruction because it seems beneath your social status, you cannot get a miracle. You must humble yourself before the Most High God if you want to enjoy His miracles. It amazes me that people consult doctors in humility, answering all their questions and

surrendering their bodies for examination and treatment, but when they come to God, they act in a proud manner as if they know more than Him.

KEY POINT

If you want a miracle from God, you must put your pride aside and come to Him as a child.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 64-66

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Ev'ry hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

2 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r

When Thou art nigh. [Refrain]

3 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain. [Refrain]

4 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill. [Refrain]

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 31ST 2024

THEME: THE BELIEVER'S  AUTHORITY

MEMORISE: 

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on and Serpents scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 10:19

READ: Ephesians 2:6-7 

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

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

MESSAGE

Hebrews 11:3 says that the world was created by God through His words. God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and everything you see in this world has its root in the spirit realm. A tree's roots are a primary determinant of its state, so in the same vein, things in the physical realm are determined by the spirit realm. For

example, in Exodus 14:16, Moses stretched his rod and parted the Red Sea. Ordinarily, a sea cannot be parted by stretching a rod; there had to be a spiritual force working on the sea, and that force was what parted it. Now, when you consider that the fellow stretching the rod was a physical being, then he must have had a connection with the root of all things on the earth to control the sea, and that connection is with God. Believe me, if you are a true child of God, there is nothing on earth that you cannot

control. You have complete authority over everything because Psalm 82:6 says that you are agod.

Many years ago, we were to have Bible Study at a professor's house at the University of lbadan, but then itnstarted raining. We were so many that the sitting room couldn't contain us, so I used my authority as a child of God to command the rain to stop. The rain stopped, and we had our Bible Study. Not long after we finished, some other people arrived. They were surprised to see that it wasn't raining in the professor's compound because the reason they arrived late was that it was raining everywhere else on the campus. The moment you become a child of God, you have authority over everything that has its root in the spirit realm and that includes the weather, elements of nature, and even

demons. If you are a part of God's family, you are a king, and where the word of a king is, there is power (Ecclesiastes 8:4).

You must note, however, that if a fellow is not a true child of God and tries to exercise God's authority, he or she will be disgraced like the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13-16). You must note also that whatever you use your authority to decree must be in line with the word of God. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Matthew 12:25). If you are really a child of God, you will act in line with the word of your Father.

ACTION POINT

If you are a child of God, begin to command what you want in your life and what you don't want out of your life, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 60-63

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME

1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!

4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng

we at his feet may fall!
