OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2024 THURSDAY: LOVE FOR GOD

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2024 MEMORISE: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2024 READ: Psalm 63:1-8

1. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2. To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6. When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2024 MESSAGE

Occasionally, I wonder, “Do I still love God like I used to? Was there a time when I loved Him more than I do now?”

In the past, many of us were willing to do anything for Him; we were hungry to please Him at whatever cost and give to Him even when we had next to nothing.

I remember the days when we used to have Bible Study Leaders Retreat, and we would take offerings.

From the offerings, you would know that if the congregation had more, they would willingly give more.

One brother gave his belt because he didn’t have any money to give!

How is your love for God now? Is it greater or less than it was before?

There are people who, when they got born again, could dance vigorously during praise and worship, not caring if anyone was looking at them.

Now, they can’t even shout hallelujah at the top of their voices. No matter how big a fellow is, he or she is still nothing before God.

If a person is too big to dance for Him, He can decide to show that fellow how small he or she really is.

One day, I asked God, “Lord, David did a lot of terrible things, even more than Saul, yet You said David was a man after Your heart while You rejected Saul.

I know that You are not partial, but I am curious to know why.” He responded, “What did David do in 2 Samuel 6:14?” I replied, “He danced with all his might.”

Then He asked, “Can you show me a place in the Bible where Saul danced for me?” That was when I really knew why God rejected Saul.

It is not so much about dancing; rather, it is about the heart of a man after God has raised him.

David’s love for God increased as he went higher, while Saul’s love reduced as he went higher. Which of these two are you?

If a believer’s love for God is reducing, such a believer is not far off from offending Him, and that might result in God rejecting the fellow.

If you don’t believe me, read Philippians 1:9-10: And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

May your love for God keep increasing for the rest of your life, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please let my love for You abound more and more every day, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2024 HYMN 23

TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

1. Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.

6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.
