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

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
