OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 17TH FEBRUARY, 2014

DIVINE CHAMPION II- 17/02/2014

Yesterday’s message was titled “DIVINE CHAMPION I”. Today’s message is titled“DIVINE CHAMPION II” as given by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise lsaiah 40:31  “
 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they 
 shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be 
weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” and read  

Isaiah 40:28-31

.  The Bible in one year reading for today has been taken from 

Isaiah 49 to 51 and 

Psalm 40:1 -10
 (Adeboye, 2014).

Quoted below is the message. God bless you richly as you contribute to today's discussion

"Yesterday we discovered that our Lord Jesus Christ is the number one champion and that He makes His people champions. We saw also that a divine champion is a person raised up and supported by God.  One attribute of a champion is strength. The divine  champion is one who receives divine strengthening. 1  Samuel 2:9 says by strength (i.e. human ability) shall no  man prevail. The required divine strength for success,  achievement, getting to the top etc is supplied to the  divine champion by God. Hannah, who by inspiration of  the Holy Spirit proclaimed those words in prayers, had  that experience. She became a champion by divine  strengthening. She received strength to put an end to her  barrenness, thus her shame and reproach were taken  away. Every barren child of God using this devotional 1* right now, today marks that turning point in the story of your life; the strength for conception comes into you . right now in Jesus‘ Name. Having delivered our first  three children by caesarean section, by this same divine  strengthening, my wife safely delivered our fourth child  by herself contrary to the expert's opinion.The Lord who  did it for us will do it for you.

By the time divine strength came upon Elijah the divine champion, He ran on foot ahead of the king's chariot to the city of Jezreel (1 Kings18:46). Thus, the divine champion is always physically strong in his body - no  room for sickness at all. Though it was by divine ability that David tore both the lion and the bear while shepherding his father's flock, he would not have been a sickly fellow to be in the wilderness looking after the  animals. Likewise, though God was the one behind his  killing of the giant Goliath with a catapult, he would no  doubt have been healthy in his body to be strong enough  to pull the catapult string. Jesus our Master is the number  one divine champion; we can only be divine champions  because He is. There is no one occasion recorded where  he was having a simple headache. Therefore, we His  Champions have no business being sick. Rather, what  Jesus was doing is what we are meant to be doing also, i.e. giving health to the sick (Acts 1 0:38)."

Today's prayer point is: "Father, make me a divine champion full of the anointing, and give me a strong sickness-free body for your service". 

As we pray this prayer point with the whole of our hearts today, I pray that the Almighty God will give us overflow of anointing that will perfect all that concern us in Jesus name, amen.
