OPEN HEAVEN 11 AUGUST 2025 MONDAY: ALWAYS REFILL I
OPEN HEAVEN 11 AUGUST 2025 MEMORISE: “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.” Mark 14:38
OPEN HEAVEN 11 AUGUST 2025 BIBLE READING: 1 Kings 19:1-4 (KJV)
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Jezebel sent a
messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also,
if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about
this time.
3 And when he saw
that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which
belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a
day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a
juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said,
It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than
my fathers.
OPEN HEAVEN 11 AUGUST 2025 MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading,
after Elijah had called down fire on Mount Carmel, lots of virtue had
gone out of him, and he needed to refill.
He had just won a victory,
and a revival had started, but he got down from the mountain to
discover that Jezebel was as unrepentant as before.
However, because the anointing upon Him was now depleted, he couldn’t stand to face her, so he fled.
Sometimes, people do
mighty things with the anointing, thinking that is all, but not long
after they are done, they discover that more things that need the
anointing are waiting.
A fellow can raise the
dead in church, and people will rejoice; however, when that fellow gets
home, there may be another problem waiting to be solved with the
anointing.
This is why it is important to recharge your spiritual batteries as soon as possible every time you use the anointing.
Many pastors host programmes, and when hosting the programmes, they fast and pray.
However, the moment the programme is over, they begin to feast and do not allow God to refill them with His anointing.
By the following Sunday,
people discover that it is not the same fellow who ministered the
previous Sunday that is ministering because the anointing had been
depleted and had not been refilled.
Fasting and all other ways to become filled with the anointing are not to end when programmes end; they are to be a lifestyle.
After periods of high
spiritual activity where a lot of the anointing is used up, it is
important to be refilled to at least the level that you were before, if
not even higher.
Beloved, you must remain vigilant and sensitive at all times because you have an enemy who never takes a break.
He always goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
Have you just had a great
victory? It is not time to let your guard down; it is time to return to
the secret place to recharge and refill.
It is time to guard your heart with all diligence so you can remain fit and relevant for God’s next agenda.
The Bible recorded many instances where Jesus retreated to refill.
For example, after a major ministration in Mark 1:34, the next verse says that He retreated into a solitary place to pray.
He’s our perfect model, and we must do the same to remain relevant in God’s kingdom.
After every victory, retreat into God’s presence for a refill.
