OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL- JESUS IN YOUR BOAT-26/02/2014

JESUS IN YOUR BOAT-26/02/2014

Yesterday’s message was titled “BE FULL OF PRAISE” and it was indeed a day of unlimited praise in this forum. I pray that His praise will continually dwell our midst in Jesus Name, amen. Today’s message is titled “JESUS IN YOUR BOAT” as given by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise Psalm 50:15: "And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me".  and read Mark 4:35-41.  The Bible in one year reading for today has been taken from Jeremiah 10 to 12 and Psalm 46

Quoted below is the message for today. God bless you for your contribution

"No doubt, life in a sense is like the sea. A characteristic of the sea is that storms of varying degrees arise, putting the lives of those sailing on it in jeopardy of being drowned. In Jesus’ Name, the storms of life will not be able to drown you, your family and your business. While literal storms are natural phenomena, the storms of life are often generated and directed to an individual by enemies. Whether it is by enemies in the flesh or in the spirit realm, every situation that would constitute a storm in your life shall be disappointed in Jesus’ Name.

Jesus was in the boat with His disciples on a mission across the Sea of Galilee. His Father's business that should bring deliverance to the mad man in Gadara, who the devil had been afflicting with chronic insanity, beaconed. The devil had an idea of this and decided to thwart it, but he is never a match for our God, and He will never be. This is why I command whatever storm you may be experiencing now to be calm in Jesus‘ Name. As you sail on the sea of life to fulfill your destiny, the devil and his allies are not happy because your success is also going to result in the blessing and deliverance of others. This is because you will use it for God's service, to build up the work of God and to bring souls to the Kingdom of God. Nevertheless, the devil and his agents will fail.

At the onset of the storm, while Jesus was taking time off to relax, the disciples embarked on a rescue operation of the boat. The situation however did not get better. They could not cope. It was then they remembered to wake Jesus up.- 1 Samuel 2:9c says: .
”........for by strength shall no man prevail.” .   
You should not make this mistake; your role is to notify Jesus  of the storm. In any case, Jesus woke up unperturbed..The Author and Controller of Peace himself rebuked the winds behind the storm, and there was calm. You shall begin to experience calmness in your marriage, in your finances, in   your education, in your business and in your health from now on in Jesus‘ Name. Stop running helter-sketer todubious men all over the place; they will only compound  your problems. Look up to Jesus; let Him handle your   storm. 

Today's action point is to repent of being too quick to seek out man's solution instead of God's at times of difficulty. Praise God, the all-powerful One and tell Him of any storm in your life.

As we seek the face of God instead of man today, I pray that every mountain before us will become plain in Jesus Name, amen.

Let Thy Pain Drive Thee

N ecessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Something becomes a necessity when its presence is required; its absence might also cause a little amount of pain. So, when people begin to find alternatives to reducing these pain, invention sprung up. So, I say, “let thy pain direct thee”. Life has never been a bed of roses and it will never be as long as humanity exist. Therefore, we all should expect pain in different levels. Sometimes the pain might be more. Other times, it might be less. But the fact remains that we will all experience pain in different aspect of our lives. But more importantly is the ability to learn from every pain we suffer or endure. Over the years, I realized that every good thing is wrapped in the arms of pain. Therefore, to claim a good thing, one has to overpower pain to achieve this goodness. Globally, economic and financial reports over decades have shown that inflation, depreciation and losses are consistent with human lives. In fact, the so c...

Quoted below is today’s message for our usual discussion "The Psalmist in Psalm 69:8 wrote:  ”I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.” Why this sorry situation? He gives the reason in Psalm 69:9:  "For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.” This is equally the lamentation of those who would liv...
