MEMORISE: “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;” – John 8:31 (KJV)

READ: Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV)

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 20-24

Open Heaven 20 July 2023 MESSAGE:

Anyone can become the best. There are however, conditions that must be fulfilled if you want to become the best. The Bible says: “I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth” (Ecclesiastes 10:7). It all depends on the readiness to pay the price. In our Bible text, we read the promises of God that assure us of being the best. However, in the same text, we read the conditions to fulfil – hearkening to the voice of the Lord, observing and doing all His commandments.

How many of us are ready to hearken to the voice of the Lord today? I have taught my ministers what it means to hearken, which is different from listening. To hearken is not just to listen but to pay very close attention to the details of the voice and commandment of the Lord. Only then can you fulfil the details of God’s instructions. The Bible says that faith can only come by hearing, and hearing by the word of God and not the word of men or the voice of our carnal body (Romans 10:17). For example, if you want to be the best financially, you must pay close attention to Malachi 3:10, which says:

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

A closer look at the passage above will reveal why some people have been paying their tithes but have not received the promise of super-abundance. “Bring all the tithes” the Bible says – not some. “Bring it” not “Send it” – meaning that God cherishes our presence before Him more than our gift. He wants our fellowship. He is not a beggar; we must come with fear and trembling, praying that He would even accept our tithes and offerings.

Another example is when we want God to perform miracles through us. The Bible says that some results cannot be achieved without prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21), even though some translations have removed fasting for reasons best known to them. Beloved, you can be the best if you will pay the price of surrendering your life to Christ and living according to His will.

Open Heaven 20 July 2023 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me the best and make me the best, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 20 July 2023 HYMN 21: Standing On The Promises Of Christ My King

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

SCRIPTURE: And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, Luke 4:17

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The discovery of what is written about you in Scripture is key to the fulfilment of your destiny.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

While on earth, Jesus once went into the temple to read as His customs was, and then the Scripture was given to Him. When He had opened it, He found the place where a prophecy was written concerning Him.

Luke 4:17-18 says,
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised…

The important point to note here is, “…he found the place where it was written…”

He found a place where there was something written about his life and destiny.

You see, it is not just enough for us to read the Bible, it is important to identify what is written concerning us and our peculiar situation. The discovery of what is written about you in Scripture is key to the fulfilment of your destiny.

It is when you are able to make such a discovery that you are ushered into the fulfilment of God’s Purpose for your life.

From the Word of God, you should be able to answer the questions: “Who am I? What am I on earth for? What am I created for?”

When you discover what is written in Scripture concerning your life, it makes it easy for you to fulfil your destiny.

My counsel is: pray and study the Scriptures diligently. Look for what has been written about you in the Word.

Remember this: The discovery of what is written about you in Scripture is key to the fulfilment of your destiny.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Devote your time to studying the Scripture diligently.
2. Find out what has been written about you and take responsibility to fulfil it.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace and discipline to study the Scripture diligently. Open my eyes to see myself in Scripture as I study so I can take responsibility and fulfil destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

MEMORISE: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” – 1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)

READ: 1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:15 (KJV)

1 Kings 19:19-21;
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.

20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

2 Kings 2:15;
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 13-16

Open Heaven 3 May 2023 MESSAGE:

God usually promotes the most unlikely persons (1 Corinthians 1:26-29), however, once in a while, He also decides to promote someone who has already had some achievements. Before promoting such people though, He would usually first grip them of everything they have achieved then He’ll begin to promote them to a level that is far higher than where they were before. Sadly, those who are not ready to go through this process will miss out on the great promotion God has prepared for them.

Also Read: Open Heaven 2 May 2023 – Criteria For Promotion I

When God chose Elisha to be the greatest prophet of his time, he was already a successful farmer from a well-to-do family and all of a sudden, he became homeless – an errand boy to a prophet who was in trouble with the king. God took him from his high state to a very low one and he submitted to the process.

When the Lord chose me, I was the acting Head of the Mathematics Department in University of Ilorin. I had already achieved a lot, considering my poor background and now God was saying, “Leave all that” to become the General Overseer of a Church whose total monthly income at that time was less than my salary. It was a hard decision, especially since I had just broken my family out of poverty, but thank God that I answered the call and submitted to the process. Today, God has graciously lifted me far higher than I could ever have gotten if I had held on to my academic career. Once God sees that you prefer His will to your achievements and your ambition, He will promote you.

The person who has enjoyed the highest promotion from God is Jesus Christ. He was already the Son of God before His earthly ministry. He is the Word and the Bible says that the whole earth was made by Him (John 1:3). He was already big, but when He humbled Himself not only to come to earth in human form, but even to the point of death on the cross, God promoted Him so much that, at the mention of His name, all knees in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth should bow and all tongues confess that He is Lord (Philippians 2:9-10). My advice to you today is: humble yourself before God and He will promote you in due time.

Open Heaven 3 May 2023 REFLECTION:

If God asks you like the rich man in Luke 18:22 to sell all that you have and follow Him, what will be your response?

Open Heaven 3 May 2023 HYMN 7: I Am Thine O Lord

1 I am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord
By the power of grace divine
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

MEMORISE: “Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:” – Jeremiah 9:23(KJV)

READ: 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (KJV)

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 10-12

Open Heaven 2 May 2023 MESSAGE:

I have come to discover from my walk with God that He usually promotes the most unlikely people. Our Bible reading for today tells us that the people who qualify for God’s promotion are usually those considered foolish, weak, little and unimportant. These are the kind of people God usually lifts up because He does not want anyone to take His glory. He does not want anyone thinking it was their achievements that made God choose them for promotion.

God chose Saul as the first king of Israel, even though the young man considered himself unworthy (1 Samuel 9:21).

Also Read: Open Heaven 1 May 2023 – God Can Promote Anyone

When Saul disobeyed and God wanted to promote someone else to his position, He sent Samuel to anoint one of Jesse’s sons. When Samuel asked Jesse to bring all his sons, David was not summoned because he was considered the least important among his sons. Jesse obviously thought there was absolutely no way David could be chosen as king, but that was exactly the fellow that God chose. God does not choose those who think they are wise, He chooses the foolish. The moment you think you are the best man for the job, God actually sees you as the worst. You cannot succeed at any divine assignment by your own power and might but only by His Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).

Anytime I travel and have the opportunity to speak with ministers in any nation, they always have one thing that they want me to address and that is the lack of unity amongst them. I often explain to them that the challenge is not that they do not want to be united; rather, it is a question of who will be the leader once they are united? I often go further to say, “If you realise that God usually chooses the foolish one to be the head, you won’t want to be that fellow, because being the head makes it obvious to everyone that you must be the most foolish of them all!”.

Also Read: Open Heaven 1 May 2023 – God Can Promote Anyone

Beloved, if you realise that God will only choose the weak, the base, then you won’t struggle for positions. Keep doing exploits from whatever position you find yourself and rely completely on God as your source of help and direction. In due course, He will promote you far beyond your expectations.

Open Heaven 2 May 2023 KEY POINT:

Don’t lobby for any position; dedicate yourself to doing the will of God and He will promote you at the right time.

Open Heaven 2 May 2023 HYMN 23: Take My Life, And Let It Be

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2 Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

“The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor”. Proverbs 12:24 (AMP)

Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:

Happy Workers’ Day. Today, I celebrate all workers. Everyone who is doing something legitimate to earn a living, I celebrate you and I want to encourage you to be your best. You are in that office at a time like this for a purpose. No matter your position, you are a representative of Jesus Christ, so do the work with all the diligence that it deserves knowing that your ultimate employer is God.

Look at our scripture for today, it says the hand of the diligent will rule. Do you want to rule? Do you want to have control? Then be diligent. It is not about your boss or immediate supervisor; it is about you. Make diligence a core value and no matter where you find yourself, be diligent and the Lord who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Your promotion may not come in your current office; your current boss may not recommend you for the deserved promotion, but if you keep at it, sooner than later, God will announce you where you never imagined, and He will catapult you to the front. I have seen Him do it over and over, and I know He is still in the business of promoting the diligent.

Remember, promotion does not come from the South, East, or West, it comes from God, and He is ever able to exceed your expectation. So, don’t be one of those that serve only when the boss is around. Don’t be given to eye-service. Be the Daniel of today in that office, someone in whom is the excellent spirit. The workers around Daniel could not find fault in the way he carried out his assignment. He was a true representative of God in the workplace. Let that be your story.

Also, while working, keep improving yourself. Ensure you stay at the cutting edge and in touch with the rapid changes in our world today. You cannot sit on the success of yesterday; yesterday’s best is no longer good for today. Stay on top of your game, be the best and strive to improve consistently.

TOPIC: Break Your Spiritual Ignorance

READ: John 14:1-14 (NKJV)

1. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2. “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if [it were] not [so,] I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.
4. “And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5. Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7. ” If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8. Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9. Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10. “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own [authority;] but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11. “Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
12. ” Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater [works] than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13. “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14. “If you ask anything in My name, I will do [it.]

The MESSAGE:

In our text today, while Jesus was teaching about heavenly mansions for believers and His Second Coming to rapture the saints (1 Cor. 15: 52), Philip interrupted and asked Him to show them the Father. Jesus replied: How long have you been with me and you do not know me? Unfortunately, some church members are ignorant about Jesus being the Lord and Father of all. They remain silent like Philip about their ignorance on spiritual matters for years. Thank God that Philip asked, which led Jesus to explain that He is one with the Father.

He is also the truth, life and the ONLY way to the Father (v.6). Hence, it is impossible to have a relationship with God without accepting Jesus as Lord.

Disregarding Jesus as the only way to the Father and trying to contact God through angels, spiritual leaders, adherence to moral laws and religious codes is a mere exercise in futility.

So break your spiritual ignorance on how to obtain salvation, operations of the Holy Spirit, power for righteousness, end time prophesies, etc. Do not be seen as a disciple of Jesus without proper knowledge of the Master; it is a misnomer to be serving a God you do not know. A sound knowledge of Him equips you to do the works of Jesus and receive answers to prayers and eternal life.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, Give me a revelation of the knowledge of you, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Open Heaven 1 May 2023 TOPIC: God Can Promote Anyone

MEMORISE: “7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.” – Psalm 113:7-8 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 75:5-7 (KJV)

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 7-9

Open Heaven 1 May 2023 MESSAGE:

Our Bible reading says clearly that God is the One who promotes. God alone is the One who promotes – no other person can, not even the so-called godfathers. Striving for positions and receiving titles do not amount to being promoted. Saul still had the title ‘king’ for several years after God had already rejected him and anointed David in his place. This was why he was helpless before Goliath while David who had been anointed to take his place defeated the giant. When you read 1 Samuel 18:7, you see from the song of the women and children that they had a higher regard for David than Saul even though Saul was still considered the king.

Also Read: Open Heaven 30 April 2023 – Dominion Over Yourself

Now that it is clear that God is the one who promotes, the next question is: Who are the people that God usually chooses for promotion? 1 Samuel 2:7-8 says:

The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.

God can pick up a beggar from the dunghill and begin to promote him until he starts dining with kings. God can promote anyone and my prayer for you today is that your promotion will come rapidly, in Jesus’ name. No one is out of reach for divine promotion. No matter how low you are now, God can still promote you to a place so high that it would beat the imagination of the whole world when they hear your story. If you want God to promote you, you must be one person that He is sure will do His will when you get promoted.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. – Acts 13:22

Can God count on you to fulfil His will after He has promoted you? If your answer is ‘yes’ then get ready for a divinely arranged promotion.

Open Heaven 1 May 2023 REFLECTION:

Do you do the will of God always?

Open Heaven 1 May 2023 HYMN 26: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing

1 There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2 There shall be showers of blessing:
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3 There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, Oh Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honour Thy Word.

4 There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now, as to God, we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

1. Make God’s Word the final authority.
   The Word says that by the stripes of Jesus you were healed
   (1 Peter 2:24).
2. Refuse to believe what you see and feel.
   Only believe the Word.
3. Refuse doubt and unbelief.
   When the devil whispers doubt and unbelief into your
   mind, deal with those thoughts immediately. Cast them
   down; don’t dwell on them.
4. Meditate God’s Word.
   Keep your mind fixed on the promises.
5. Cast your care upon the Lord.
   The devil will try to use anxiety over your situation to
   choke the Word in your heart so that the promises will
   become unfruitful (Mark 4:19).
6. Praise God for your healing!
   Praising God before you see a manifestation is the highest
   form of faith.
7. Don’t waver.
   James said that the person who wavers in his faith should
   not expect to receive anything from the Lord (James 1:6-7).
8. Never let go!
   No matter what happens, continue to stand on God’s Word
   for your healing.
9. Listen to the Word!
   One of the main methods of keeping your mind renewed
   to the Word is to listen to the Word on tape, CD, video
   or DVD.
10. Confess the Word concerning your healing.
    It is difficult to believe that you are healed if you are constantly talking about your sickness. Speak only words that
    are in agreement with God’s will for your healin

Giants of scriptures are men of Faith Hebrews 11:33 and Faith only works by Love. Until you are a genuine lover of God, you cannot reign on the earth.

Characteristics of Love for God

1. Passion for God Proverbs 23:26 — nothing is of greater value from a man to God than his heart 2 Corinthians 8:5 — God is not after your cash, He is after your heart Jeremiah 17:10 2 Samuel 2:3 — two people can do the same things but carry different weight.

Example : a. Elijah 1 Kings 19:10/14 — what distinguishes Elijah was his passion for God, no qualifications b. David 1 Samuel 16:7 when you have an answer, nobody ask for your degree

2. Passion for Souls John 21:15-17 – pursuit of the lost is our proof of our passion for God Romans 9:1-5 — how can you be comfortable when the people you know don’t know the God you know. 1 Corinthians 9:16 Matthew 9:28 — To win the lost at any cost is the evidence of my genuine love for God.
3. Passion for the afflicted among us Exodus 3:7-10 — The affliction that moves you, God empowers you to move them Deuteronomy 34:10-12
4. Passion for those in need around us 1 John 3:15-18
5. Passion for fellowship — A true lover of God is addicted to fellowship. Its not about being busy, are you comfortable without fellowship? Anytime the church start looking far, your love has started going down PS 122:1 . When you love is burning, your companionship with God is never too much.
