OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2022 THURSDAY: DOMINION I

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2022 MEMORIZE: Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: Psalms 8:6

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2022 BIBLE READING GENESIS 1:26-28

26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2022 MESSAGE

To the human race, dominion should be a natural phenomenon because it was bestowed upon us at creation. Our memory verse for today attests to this truth. In other words, one can gain dominion by creation.

For example, a buffalo is conceived the same way a lion is conceived. However, dominion is bestowed upon the lion over the buffalo.

When David considered the privileged position God placed man in, he could not help asking, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? (Psalms 8:4 ).

The question here is, What should man do to appreciate the One who bestowed this dominion upon him? The answer is not far-fetched; the Bible says: “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:1-2.”

Beloved, you should not struggle to have dominion because it has been given to us at creation. Another question then is, Is this a reality in the life of everyone? The answer is simply No and this is because man sold his dominion for a taste of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-7).

This now leads us to the necessity of redemption. It is redemption that can restore this dominion. I remember how I was running helter-skelter, away from wicked people who wanted to use me as their breakfast.

I kept on running and suffering until I met Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my personal Lord and Saviour. When a man is redeemed from sin, he is redeemed completely from all other calamities that had dominated him hitherto.

He is born again and re-created into the image of God in which he was originally created. This is why Jesus Christ said we must be born again (John 3:3). The Bible also says that whoever is born of God (John 1:12) overcomes the world through faith in the Son of the Living God (1 John 5:4-5).

Beloved, you have dominion by virtue of your being a new creature in Jesus Christ. Claim, receive and exercise your dominion.

To access dominion, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2022 HYMN

TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE

1. To God be the glory, great
things He hath done,
So loved He the world
that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an
atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate
that all may go in.

CHORUS
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father,
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He hath done.

2. Oh, perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood,
To every believer the
promise of God;
The vilest offender
who truly believes,
That moment from
Jesus a pardon receives.

3. Great things He hath taught us,
Great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing
through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher,
and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport,
when Jesus we see.

SUNDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER. LET THE WORD CONTROL YOUR VALUES

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER. LET THE WORD CONTROL YOUR VALUES For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6). When the Bible talks about the carnal mind, it doesn’t mean a sinful mind per se, even though the carnal mind is prone to sin. A carnal mind means a mind that’s ordinary; of mere human understanding; just normal human life The person who’s carnally-minded, even though he’s born again, reasons and acts like the natural man. He lives according to the senses. He’s more attuned to, and concerned about the things of the flesh. The Word and the spiritual realities of the Kingdom hardly get his attention. Now, the Bible tells us that to live that way is enmity against God (Romans 8:7); meaning that the carnal Christian walks at cross-purposes with God. He’s not ruled by or subject to the Word of God; a state that leads to death—separation from everything gracious and divine!...

MEMORISE: Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2 READ: Luke 13:6-9 6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. MESSAGE “Be fruitful” is the very first statement God made to mankind. This statement was pronounced both as a blessing and command. It is therefore obvious that fruitfulness is the heartbeat...
