Genesis 5:24 BIBLE READING: DEUTERONOMY 5:30-33 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. MESSAGE:    W alking with God is highly rewarding when we are ready to pay the price. Walking with God requires perfect obedience of His word. Fai

 💚♣️ OPEN HEAVENS ♣️💚           DAILY DEVOTIONAL    DATE: SATURDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 2021. THEME: WEEP NOT; RATHER REJOICE.    MEMORISE: Rejoice evermore. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 BIBLE READING: LUKE 7:12-15 12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. MESSAGE:     O ne of the shortest verse of the New Testament which is also our memory verse today says “Rejoice evermore.”  Today, we read about the command “Weep Not”. This command is easier read than obeyed. A widow lost her only son and Jesus Christ commanded her not to weep! The Lord is saying to you also “Don’t w

 💚♣️ OPEN HEAVENS ♣️💚           DAILY DEVOTIONAL    DATE: FRIDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER 2021. THEME: FOLLOW GOOD LEADERSHIP.  MEMORISE: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 BIBLE READING: PHILIPPIANS 3:14-17 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. MESSAGE:     T he Bible’s instruction to “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” simply means to carefully research and meditate upon the lives of those who obtained God’s approval. Learn those things they did that earned them God’s approval. In to

THEME: BLESSINGS OF THE NEW ANOINTING.    MEMORISE: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  Revelation 21:5 BIBLE READING: JOHN 4:19-24 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

THEME: ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT SIDE?    MEMORISE: Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.  Exodus 32:26 BIBLE READING: EXODUS 32:25-26 25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:) 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. MESSAGE:   I n John 21:1-6, we read about the disciples’ encounter with the resurrected Jesus at the Sea Tiberias where they had gone fishing. In spite of all their hard work they caught nothing. Jesus came to them, but they initially did not recognize Him. He then teased them, asking “Children, have ye any meat?” The answer was obviously negative. When y

THEME: THE COST AND BLESSINGS OF KNOWING JESUS CHRIST.    MEMORISE: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; Philippians 3:10 BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 24:2-13 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answere

THEME: THE BLESSINGS OF BEING WITH JESUS.    MEMORISE: And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach   Mark 3:14 BIBLE READING: ACTS 4:13-14 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. MESSAGE:   T here are occasional followers of Jesus Christ and there are those who are permanent as well. The occasional followers of Jesus Christ typically opt not to live completely according to the Lord’s standards choosing what and when to obey. They chose a life of partial obedience to the word of God. Once, when Jesus was teaching these standards, the Bible says in John 6:66 “From that time many of his disciples went back,

THEME: PROVISION THROUGH THANKS.    MEMORISE: Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 2 Corinthians 9:11 BIBLE READING: JOHN 6:11-13 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. MESSAGE:    T here are many so-called praise songs that are not celebrating the beauty of God’s holiness and are thus unacceptable to the Lord. The sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving can produce abundant prosperity, according to our memory verse t

Acts 1:8 BIBLE READING: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-11 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another dive

John 15:5 BIBLE READING: DEUTERONOMY 7:12-18 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of

 💚♣️ OPEN HEAVENS ♣️💚           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: TUESDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2021 THEME: THE LAW OF THE SABBATH.    MEMORISE: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8 BIBLE READING: GENESIS 2:1-3 1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. MESSAGE:     T he law of the Sabbath is not an end in itself but a means to an end and that is rest. Rest is a divine blessing which God bestowed upon His creation, particularly mankind. Even the land He gave man to inhabit must enjoy a sabbatical rest (Leviticus 25:2). “ And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.” Genesis 2:2 Rest is not just a commandment

Genesis 1:22 BIBLE READING: GENESIS 1:20-23 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

 💚♣️ OPEN HEAVENS ♣️💚           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: THURSDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2021 THEME: YOU NEED THE LIGHT OF GOD!    MEMORISE:  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3 BIBLE READING: GENESIS 1:1-5 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. MESSAGE:       T he first challenge that confronted the earth was darkness and this is what God first dealt with in the creation strong, according to Genesis chapter one. May the Lord deal with every form of darkness that has hitherto plagued your life in Jesus’ name. when an individual gropes in darkness

Genesis 3:9 BIBLE READING 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5-8 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. MESSAGE:     I am convinced that the question God asked of Adam long ago- “Where art thou?” (Genesis 3:9) is as relevant today as it was then. It is not a question that an individual should wait for God to ask him and her, but rather one that each person should ask him of herself at any given time. A sincere approach to answer
