HYMNAL: 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! 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!


HAPPY NEW MONTH!! STAY CONNECT AND REMAIN BLESSED

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH  2024


THEME: THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH


MEMORISE: Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle 's.   Psalm 103:5


READ: Joshua 14:6-14 

6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.


7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.


8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.


9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's forever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.


10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.


11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.


12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.


13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.


14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.


MESSAGE

Some people do not want to grow old; it is as if they are seeking a 'fountain of youth' that can keep them young forever. While it is impossible to remain young forever, you can still have the strength and vigor of a youth no matter how old you become.


I told some friends sometime ago that since Joel 2:28 says that young men see visions, if you still have visions that you are pursuing, you are young. God will give you visions when you wait on Him in His presence (Habakkuk 2:1-2). Those who spend quality time with God are visionaries; they come out of His presence loaded with visions that they want to accomplish. Before I became born again, my biggest vision was to be the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, but after I got saved and started spending time with God, I began to have bigger visions.


There is always a transfer from God to you when you spend quality time with Him. In Exodus 34:30-35, when Moses returned after he had been with God, the Israelites could not look at his face because God's glory was all over him. Moses spent quality time with God; he once went to a mountain and stayed there with God for 40 days (Exodus 24:18). No wonder when he was 120 years old, his strength had not reduced, and his eyes were still very sharp (Deuteronomy 34:7). Abraham was over 80 years old when he went to war to rescue his nephew, Lot (Genesis 14: 13-16). He could do so because he was a man of altars, always spending time with God. Spending quality time with God keeps you strong and youthful. With the little sleep that I often get because of my tight schedules, I should be looking older than my age, but by God's grace, I am still strong enough at 82 to go on long walks, and my eyes are not dim. It is not because l am special; it is because l am always in contact with God's glory in His presence.


Beloved, you can retain the vitality of youth even until your old age by being addicted to His presence. However, you shouldn't live an unhealthy lifestyle and expect God to keep you young because you spend hours in His presence. Anyone who is irresponsible with his or her health will face the consequences.


Spend quality time with God; His glory will rub off on you, and your youth will be renewed as the eagle's.


KEY POINT

Spending quality time with God will help you retain the vigor of youth.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Malachi 1-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 16: TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

1. 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to take Him at His Word

Just to rest upon His promise

Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"


2 Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him

How I've proved Him o'er and o'er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus

Oh, for grace to trust Him more


3 I'm so glad I learned to trust Him

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend

And I know that He is with me

Will be with me to the end


4 Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him

How I've proved Him o'er and o'er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus

Oh, for grace to trust Him more


5 Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him

How I've proved Him o'er and o'er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus

Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Oh, for grace to trust Him more

DATE: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 29TH 2024


THEME: DESTINY DESTROYERS IV


MEMORISE: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.    Philippians 3:19


READ: Proverbs 23:19-21 

19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.


20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:


21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.


MESSAGE

In conclusion of my teaching on the above topic, one major destiny destroyer that many people are not aware of is gluttony. Gluttony is the habit of eating and drinking excessively. Gluttons cannot control their appetites, and such people do not usually go far in life. They simply want to eat every time; food has become their preoccupation - their god.


Controlling your appetite is very important, and this is why the Bible says:


When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.    Proverbs 23:1-2 2


The Scripture above does not imply that believers should literally put a knife to their necks, rather, it is saying that if they cannot control their appetite, even if they sit at a table with great men, they will still bring about their own destruction. The Bible tells us that even though Daniel and his friends were chosen amongst those to eat a portion of the king's food, they controlled their appetites and chose not to defile themselves with the food. They chose to honor God by controlling their appetites, and God honored them in return (Daniel 1:1-21).)


Esau's destiny was destroyed with a bowl of porridge; just one bowl of food caused his name to be omitted from the list we usually talk about- the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob' on the list would have been Esau, but he couldn't control his appetite and lost his place on that great list (Genesis 25:29-34).


Some adults eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, snack in- between meals, and eat again just before going to bed. How can you have the strength to wake up in the middle of the night for spiritual warfare when you are so loaded with food that you can hardly stand? There are many people who died untimely deaths and truncated their own destinies because of how much food they ate. They ate to the point of endangering their health, and then they passed on. Don't let this be your portion.


Beloved, you should eat only when necessary and eat only the quantity of food that you need to survive. When you eat too much, you will be weak, and you will have less strength to do the things that you need to do to achieve greatness. Those whose belly is their god-meaning they are controlled by it-will end up in destruction. Control your appetite!


PRAYER POINT

Father, please don't let my appetite destroy me.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Zechariah 11-14


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 31:  YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1. Yield not to temptation,

For yielding is sin;

Each vict’ry will help you,

Some other to win;

Fight valiantly onward,

Evil passions subdue;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.


Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.


2 Shun evil companions,

Bad language disdain;

God’s name hold in rev’rence,

Nor take it in vain;

Be thoughtful and earnest,

Kindhearted and true;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through. 


3 To him that o’ercometh,

God giveth a crown;

Through faith we will conquer,

Though often cast down;

He who is our Savior,

Our strength will renew;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH 2024


THEME: DESTINY DESTROYERS III


MEMORISE: He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Proverbs 18:9


READ: Proverbs 6:6-11 

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:


7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.


9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?


10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:


11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.


MESSAGE

Today, I will continue my teaching on the different vices that can destroy destinies. When we first started building Redemption City, I knew some bricklayers who would have been very wealthy by now if only they had not been lazy. God had set them up in a

place where they could have had great success, but their laziness robbed them of that opportunity.


Beloved, don't be lazy. When I meet some pastors who started about the same time as me, they will usually say, "God has been good to you." Truly, God has been really gracious to me, but then, nobody can Accuse me of laziness. God can supply you with the grace you need to fulfil your destiny, but if you are lazy, the grace He provided will go to waste because you will not use it. Many have prayed for open doors, but when the door was opened before them, they did not walk into it because of their laziness.


In today's Bible reading, we are told to learn from the ants as they provide their meat and gather their harvest at the right time. These days, some people make excuses to hide their laziness using different terms like exhaustion, procrastination, and so on. When a fellow constantly disregards the things that he or she ought to do when they ought to be done, it is simply laziness. For instance, if someone is to go out at 8am, but decides to stay in bed and refuses to have a bath nor get his or her clothes ironed by 7:30am, that is laziness.


When you read Proverbs 24:30-34, you will see the major danger in laziness. Laziness does not destroy destinies suddenly, it does it little by little. If you are lazy, you will look back at your life after a while, and you will realize that you are far from the things that you set out to achieve.


Beloved, please banish any form of laziness in your life. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:11 that time and chance happen to everyone. If you are lazy, when your time and chance come, you will likely be in bed sleeping. Don't allow a little sleep to destroy your destiny. Good sleep is very important for your health and general well-being, however, do not oversleep or sleep when you ought to be working.


Get up and work! Your destiny and that of many others depend on your efforts.


ACTION POINT

Take note of the signs of laziness that might be in your life and stop them today.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Zechariah 6-10


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 4: TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK

1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;

With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,

Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.


Refrain:

Toiling on, toiling on,

Toiling on, toiling on:

Let us hope, let us watch,

And labor till the Master comes.


2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;

To the fountain of life let the weary be led;

In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,

While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" 


3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;

For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;

And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,

In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!" 


4 To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,

And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;

When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,

And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!"
