From Faith To Faith Daily Devotional Thursday 28th July 2016  Theme: Be Separate   Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. – 2 Corinthians 6:17 We're surrounded by a world which is ruled for the most part by Satan. How can we avoid getting caught up in it? How can we stand apart? You'll find the answer in John 17:17. There Jesus was speaking to the Father about all those who would believe on Him. "Sanctify them through thy truth," He says. "Thy word is truth." Sanctify means "to separate unto." So Jesus was saying, "Separate them by the Word." The Word separates! When you initially believed the Word of God, you were born again. You were separated spiritually from the kingdom of darkness and separated to the kingdom of Light. Now that's where a lot of people stop. They let the Word of God do its initial separating work and then go right on liv...

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Thursday 28th July 2016 Theme: Thou Shall Not Covet Memorise: But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Ephesians 5:3 Read: Ephesians 5:3-7 Message Today, we will examine one of the Ten Commandments; covetousness. The sin of covetousness is a cluster of many sins that sets man against his Maker. Upon the sin of covetousness hangs many other sins like stealing, sexual immorality and murder, hence the law: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's." Exodus 20:17 David, a God-fearing soldier, King and prophet fell because of covetousness. He coveted Bathsheba, his soldier's wife; and went from one form of sin to another. Covetousness led him to adultery and adultery led him to a murderous act. When s...

  Open Heavens Daily Devotional Tuesday 26th July 2016 Theme: Cleanliness Is Practical Godliness Memorise: Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. -  Isaiah 52:11 Read: Number: 8:5-7 Message: One truth a child of God must embrace is that cleanliness is godliness in practical terms. God pays attention to personal hygiene as much as he pays attention to the spiritual purity of His people. In the book of - Leviticus 14 :43-45, we read : "And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered; Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry th...

   From Faith To Faith Daily Devotional Tuesday 26th July 2016 Theme -  Don't Let Your Faith Slip Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. – Hebrews 2:1 Something very serious has been happening to the Body of Christ. We've often let the things which we have heard the message of faith and righteousness slip. I'm not just talking about those believers who've been so surrounded by religion that they've never heard about the power that's theirs in Christ Jesus. I'm talking about those of us who have heard the Word and have known the thrill of living by faith. In my own life, for example, there were times when I'd pray for healing. I'd say all the right words, "Thank God, I believe I receive..." and all that. But inside I'd be thinking, I wonder why God isn't healing me? You see, even though I'd said that I believed I was healed, I had...

  Open Heavens Daily Devotional Sunday 24th July 2016 Theme: The Overcomers Memorise: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1st John 5:4 READ: 1John 5:1-6, KJV Message Many people do not know how to overcome. This is the reason why they run from pillar to post, looking for protection against the attack of the agents of destruction. The Bible says: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” - Hebrews 2:14-15 It is needless to run helter-skelter in search of protection. As a matter of fact, there is no other source of protection than Jesus Christ. Our memory verse for today affirms that whoever is born-again overcomes the world through faith in ...

God's Favourite House Daily devotional Sunday 24th July 2016 Theme: Only One “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?” - Luke 9:25 “But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”  But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!  There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”Lu.10:40-42 [emphasis added]. When you discover and make your relationship with Jesus the center of your life, then you would have set yourself up for a stress free life. Before you take that job ask how it will impact on your relationship with Jesus. Before you relocate in search of greener pastures, you need to evaluate how it will impact on your relationship with Jesus. So ...

From Faith To Faith Daily Devotional Sunday 24th July 2016 Theme: Leave your Past Behind But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14 Spiritual bumps and bruises. Inner aches and pains that just don't seem to go away. Most all of us know what it's like to suffer from them but too few of us know just what to do about them. We limp along, hoping somehow those hidden wounds will magically stop hurting, thinking that maybe (with a little extra sleep or an extra helping of dessert) that nagging sense of depression will finally disappear. But does it ever happen that way? No! I know. I've been there. But thank God, I'm not there anymore. You see, over the past few years, I've faced some fierce spiritual battles. And I've found out those battles can leave you bruised and beat up on the in...
