OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 TUESDAY: ONLY BY GRACE

OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 MEMORISE: Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6
OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 READ: Ephesians 2:8-10
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before 
ordained that we should walk in them.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 MESSAGE:

Questions like, “Do you know who I am? Do you know who you are talking to? How dare you speak to me like that?” are borne out of pride.
The truth is that every human being was made from the dust of the ground and will eventually return there (Genesis 3:19).
It is only the grace and favour of God that has brought us this far (1 Corinthians 15:10).
If you think that you are successful because of how smart or brilliant you are, my question for you is, did you create your brain?
Could you have single-handedly created the opportunities that you had while climbing the ladder of success?
The Bible tells us in Colossians 1:16-17 that all things exist in God and were created by Him and for Him.
Everything we are and have is by God’s provision and by His grace alone.
This is why today’s Bible reading tells us that no one can boast before God.
Even though I can be considered brilliant because I obtained a PhD in Mathematics, I could have ended up as a farmer in my small hometown, Ifewara, if God had not given me the kind of mother that I had.
She supported my dream to go to school in every way she could, and if this had not happened, I would not be where I am today.
This is why I cannot afford to be proud because I know my humble beginnings, and I did not get to where I am today solely by my efforts.
God raised me by His grace and mercy, and He can also pull me down.
In the Bible, even though King Saul was initially aware of his humble state before he was crowned king (1 Samuel 15:17), pride began to set in his heart as time went by.
He got to a point where he began to feel like he needed more respect from people. Consequently, he lost his position and the kingdom was taken away from him (1 Samuel 15:22-31).
By the time we get to 1 Samuel 16:1, God was telling Samuel not to waste his time praying for Saul because He had rejected him.
Beloved, do not allow pride into your heart. The moment a fellow becomes proud, destruction is waiting at the door (Proverbs 16:18).
Never forget about God’s abundant grace, and be careful never to think that you are superior to other people.
God is the One raising you and all the glory must be given to Him

Father, thank You so much for Your grace. Please, help me never to boast in myself, but in You alone.
 
OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 HYMN 2
AMAZING GRACE
1.Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
2.Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
3.The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
4.Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
5.The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
6.When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun
OPEN HEAVEN 26 NOVEMBER 2024 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 11-14
