Open Heavens: When He Beckons To You

By
Memorise:
In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man
thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:37

 Read: Exodus 3:3-4
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and
see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned
aside to see, God called unto him out of the
midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.
And he said, Here am I.

Message
When a king beckons to you, it means you
have caught his attention. In Esther 5:1-3,
when King Ahasuerus saw Esther standing in
the inner courts of the palace, he immediately
raised his sceptre towards her. By so doing,
he was inviting her to come nearer. When God
beckons to you, you can be assured that
things are definitely taking a new turn from
that moment. This was the experience of
Moses. For 40 years, Moses was at the back
side of the desert looking after his father-in-
law's sheep; but one day, this well-read and
once very promising heir to the throne of
Egypt (now turned shepherd boy) encountered
the burning bush which was not consumed.
He heard God beckon to Him saying "Moses,
Moses". From that very moment, his story was
never the same.
God beckons to you when the day of your
favour dawns. There is a user of this
devotional: you have invested so much time
and money in acquiring several degrees but
you have not been able to use them. It
appears God has forgotten you for some years,
and you have been wondering when the
opportunity will ever come for your certificates
to work for you. Rejoice! Your time of favour
has just dawned. God has just remembered
you and is presently beckoning to you. Within
the next three months, your life will go
through a transformation, to the extent that it
will be difficult for you to believe this is
happening to you. When the Lord does this for
you, do not forget to appreciate Him and
testify of it.
In 1969, while doing my postgraduate
programme in Mathematics, a friend of mine
was doing his research on the coastlines of
Lagos, and so he needed to visit all the
coastlines and take samples from them. He
decided to go to Ebute Metta, Lagos, for some
samples. Because we were friends and I was
available, I accompanied him. At Ebute Metta,
we saw a very large signboard which read
"The Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG)". Looking to see what the big
signboard was referring to, we only saw a very
little church. I turned to my friend and said
"The big name killed a small dog!" We laughed
and left. Four years later, somebody invited
me to the same RCCG for the first time,
saying "There is a small church at Ebute
Metta where God is performing miracles." I
told him I had seen that church before - the
small church with the big signboard. Imagine
what God is doing today after beckoning to
me. May you heed God's beckoning in Jesus'
Name.
Action Point:
What you look down on today may be your
saving grace tomorrow. Ask for divine
guidance in all you do.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 47-48 and
Romans 1:18-2:11

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
