OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2024 TUESDAY: BE A BLESSING

OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2024 MEMORISE: The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25

OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2024 READ: Deuteronomy 15:7-11

7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lordagainst thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land

OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE

To live a blessed and fulfilled life, you must be a blessing to others. A stream is clean because the water keeps flowing, but stagnant water stinks because it retains whatever it has to itself.

If you only look for what to eat, you will likely get enough to survive on, even though you might sometimes have to skip some meals.

However, if you constantly seek to feed many people, your meals will never be a problem because you cannot feed many people while you are hungry.

If you seek to buy cars for others, you will have a car to drive yourself. The more people you desire to be a blessing to, the more resources will come your way, and the more blessed you will be.

It may seem worldly-wise to be selfish, but the word of God says that when you scatter, you will increase (Proverbs 11:24-26).

Students who teach their peers after classes may appear to be very generous, and that is true, but do you know that they understand the subject better as they teach it to others?

Such students may be helping their peers, but really, they are helping themselves more.

When you tell your friends and family about Jesus, seeking to save their souls, it is out of love because you don’t want them to burn in hell.

However, the more you preach the gospel, the more grounded you will become in Christ. Firstly, you will see miracles happen (Mark 16:15-18), and this will make your faith even more real to you.

Secondly, the Holy Spirit will inspire you on what to say when you preach. Believe me, some of the things I say on the altar are new to me.

These revelations, because they came through me, have a better rooting in me than in anyone else.

Thirdly, a fellow who preaches the gospel and makes disciples has one more reason not to backslide no matter how tough the temptations get because he wouldn’t want the disciples to see him backsliding.

Being the General Overseer of the RCCG is a sacrificial role that God gave to me, but it has also helped me stand stronger in the faith.

Since the early days, I have become my own watchdog not to backslide. If people often call you to pray for them, you cannot be prayerless because you will have to pray for them.

Beloved, you will be blessed much more if you choose to be a blessing to others.

Be intentional about being a blessing to everyone around you.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2024 HYMN 26

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

1.There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2. There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
3. There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain]
4. There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]
