OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2022 FRIDAY: THE WORD III

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2022 MEMORIZE: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2022 BIBLE READING PSALMS 119:127-130

127. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

128. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

129. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

130. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2022 MESSAGE

There is the tendency for Christians, especially ministers of God to put the gift of the Spirit before the word of God in their lives. They want people to see the signs because they believe that it authenticates them in their eyes, after all John 4:48 says: “Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe” Such people, therefore, work the gifts more than they preach the word. Any ministry where this is done will not stand the test of time.

Everything you do or say must be based on the word of God and you must project it to everyone you meet. God referred to the people he has sent to you to lead as sheep (John 21:15-17) and they can only be fed to grow with the word of God. 1 Peter 2:2 says: “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”

In John 6:25-35, when the people were looking for Jesus because He had the power to multiply food, He rebuked them, saying that they should have been looking for the Bread of life – the Word of God, instead. If a person forces a prophecy out when God is not speaking, just because people are expecting one, such a fellow will not last long in the Christian race.

Someone asked me to tell him his future. I asked if he was born again and he said No. I then responded, Your future will not be good because the word of God says that it shall be ill with the wicked (Isaiah 3:11). He then asked, What if I had said I was born again? I said, Then I would have told you that your future will be glorious because the word of God says, Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him (Isaiah 3:10).

Everything must be based on the word of God. It is the entrance of Gods word, not the miracles or prophecies, that brings light to the souls that you are ministering to (Psalms 119:130).

If you base your ministry on spiritual gifts rather than the word of God, it will not last. I have been in ministry for over 45 years now. I have seen many ministries rise and then fall, just because of this mistake.

Live by the word of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2022 HYMN

JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD MY ALL

1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
hear me, blest Saviour, when I call;
hear me, and from thy dwelling place
pour down the riches of Thy Grace.

Refrain:
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee Adore; x2
O make me love Thee more and more.

2. Jesus, too late I Thee have sought;
how can I love Thee as I ought?
And how extol Thy matchless fame, the glorious beauty of Thy name?

3. Jesus, what didst Thou find in me
that Thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that Thou hast brought,
so far exceeding hope or thought!

4. Jesus, of Thee shall be my song;
to Thee my heart and soul belong;
all that I have or am is Thine,
and Thou, blest Saviour, Thou art mine.

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!...

WEDNESDAY 26TH JUNE 2019 THEME: THE DANGER OF FRUITLESSNESS.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY 26TH JUNE 2019 THEME: THE DANGER OF FRUITLESSNESS. 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...
