Open Heavens Saturday September 5: Shine In Prosperity

By
Memorise: Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort zion, and shall yet choose jerusalem. Zechariah 1:17. 

While it is true that the Lord expects us to shine in the areas of our character and soul-winning, He also expects us to shine in the area of prosperity. No wonder He gave us great promises on the prosperity, such as this found in the Deuteronomy 28:12:
“The  LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations and thou shalt not borrow.”
Read: Deuteronomy 28:9-13 

Message:
Poverty is one of the repercussions of sin; hence there is so much poverty across the globe. God is not happy with the level of poverty in the world, this is why He has chosen to make his children prosper and set them as lights that will wipe out the darkness of poverty from nations {plsam 35:27}.

If you have been blessed by God but have not reached the level where you can lend to nations, it shows that you have not yet arrived at the of prosperity God is taking you to.

Because of your current lowly situation, you may find it hard to believe that God can truly increase you to this high level, but the truth about God's integrity is that if He has promised to do it, He will definitely keep his promise, provided you do your part.

Concerning where God is taking you to, you would be wise to always remember that your present situation does not matter.

God destination for you is quite different from where you are now. Your present location cannot stop God from taking you to the destination He has for you. He's a God who can relocate a beggar from dung hill to sit with prince   and nobles {1 Samuel 2:8}.

David was just a shepard boy attending to his father's little flock, but when God decide to move him into greatness, his humble circumstance did did not stop God.

The young shepard boy become king according to God's promise {2 Samuel 7:8}. God did the same for Joseph. Joseph had a dream, but he also had very determined dream-killer as brothers.

They sold him into slavery, and a point he was a prisoner. In spite of all these, he rose from prison to become prime minister of Egypt {psalm 105:17-22}. You too are destined to be great! Your present challenges or limitations cannot stop you from becoming what God has ordained you to be. You shall be great! Nothing will stop you. No one can stop you. It is well with your tomorrow.

Prayer Point:
Father, make a statement on prosperity to the world with my life and family...Amen

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...

Setting Prisoners Free

By
Our Daily Bread Devotional 4th October, 2016 Read: Psalm 146 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6 The Lord sets prisoners free. (Psalm 146:7) When my wife and I visited the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force near Savannah, Georgia, we were especially moved by the prisoner-of-war exhibit, with its re-creation of a German prisoner-of-war camp’s barracks. Marlene’s dad, Jim, served in the Eighth Air Force, the “Mighty Eighth,” as they flew missions over Europe during World War II. During the war, the Eighth Air Force suffered over 47,000 injuries and more than 26,000 deaths. Jim was one of those shot down and held as a prisoner of war. As we walked through the exhibit, we recalled Jim telling about the absolute joy he and his fellow prisoners felt the day they were set free. God’s care for the oppressed and liberation of the imprisoned are declared in Psalm 146. The psalmist describes the one who “upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the ...

Not For Destruction

By
DCLM Daily Manna October 19th, 2016 Text: 2 Corinthians 10:1-11 Key Verse: “For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed” (2 Corinthians 10:8). Lord Acton was not wrong when he said: “Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely”. In our society, we often see the reckless use of power by those who are privileged to be vested with power to serve the people. Instead of exercising the power for the benefits of the common man who they are expected to serve and defend, they turn the power to an object of oppression with which they victimize and oppress the poor. Paul consciously reminded himself and his congregation that the authority the Lord has given him and his team was not for the destruction of the people but for their edification. Even in the face of obvious provocation by the people, ministers must not turn around to use their authority to vex the pe...
