OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-THE PEACE OF GOD-25/03/2014

                        THE PEACE OF GOD-25/03/2014

Yesterday’s message was titled “GOD'S REMEMBRANCE AND DELIVERANCE III ”. Today’s message is titled “THE PEACE OF GOD” as provided by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise Philippians 4:7: " And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." and read Philippians 4:4-8. The Bible in one year for today has been taken from Ezekiel 19-20 and Psalm 69:22-36 .(Adeboye, 2014).
Quoted below is the text for today's message. God bless you as we meditate and discuss on this topic
"There is nothing tangible that can be achieved in any organisation, family or mind without a peaceful atmosphere. This is why when the world was characterised with chaos in Genesis 1 :1 -3, the first thing God did was to restore peace to the chaotic world. I pray that the peace of God will be your portion today in Jesus‘ Name. There are factors that can guarantee peace in the life of an individual, particularly a child of God. One of them is contentment. 1 Timothy 6:6&10 says that: "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after; they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Many people lack peace because they are not contented with what they have. They dabble into some nefarious activities in search of the material things of this world which lead to stress related diseases. We must beware not to run after the material things of this world which do not bring satisfaction, or those things that attract undue responsibilities, or those things that hurt when they have flown away. Also, avoid the abuse of things which bring discomfort like piles or stomach aches and other illnesses to your body (Proverbs 25:16). How do you cultivate contentment? Contentment is developed when you endeavour to enjoy the present blessings of God in your life and give Him glory for such benefits (Ecclesiastes 5:18-19, Psalm 103:1 -5).
”let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in ever thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:5-6

Other truths about having peace are revealed in this passage: One of such truths is that, to have the peace of God, you have to be moderate in your lifestyle without hypocrisy. Another is: do not be anxious for anything, or else you will lose your God given Peace. How then do you survive in a competitive world where the essential things of life are scarce? The next truth answers this: make your request known to God. He is . Jehovah-Jireh, the Great Provider. He will meet you at the point of your needs.  I pray for you in your body’ A peace of God will come mightily upon your trouble soul and spirit today in Jesus‘ Name."

For our prayer point, we are to Pray for the peace of God to reign in your entire life, family, church and nation today.

Valentine or Violent-Time (Part 3)

Over the years, some religious folks have defined and classified February 14 as the devil's day. They argue that the Valentine was not a Saint, and even if he was, it was not proper to keep a day to remember him. By God's grace, I have subjected myself to regular study of the scriptures and godly books in several libraries especially the e-libraries. My philosophy has been guided by the knowledge acquired from comparative and HOLYGHOST inspired study. If God is not against Christmas, and Easter, then why should He be against Valentine's Day? Many of us have known so much that we have created our own "Newer Testament" after the new testament of the Holy Bible. Is God against celebrations? Definitely, No! Jesus visited a wedding in Cana, he was at most Jewish feasts, and He organized a feast by feeding, on one occasion, 5,000 men. Our God loves feasting. He loves to see us celebrate. But all feastings must be done in Holiness in order to be approved ...

God bless you richly for your contribution When Isaac asked Esau his son to go and prepare a delicious meal of venison for him to eat so that he (Isaac) may bless him, Isaac's wife Rebekah heard it and took advantage of the distance between their tents and the field where Esau the hunter would get the bush meat.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - CARE FOR THE BRETHREN-30/04/2014

" CARE FOR THE BRETHREN " In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise   Philippians 4:19 : " But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus ” Today's reading was taken from  Romans 15:25-27  and the Bible reading in one year is   Revelation 8 to Revelation 11 and Psalm 93 (Adeboye, 2014). Quoted below is today's message for your input "Apostle Paul in the Bible reading for today, teaches us one missing ingredient of true discipleship in today’s contemporary Church; which is the ministry of care. Despite the great anointing with which Apostle Paul was ministering to both Jews and Gentiles, it is amazing to read that the ministry of care was not absent from his vocation as a preacher of the gospel. It is also interesting to note that the lives of the early apostles of Jesus Christ were not only in alignment with the teachings of Jesus Christ but were also in alignment with their own teachi...
