RCCG OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTION SATURDAY 16TH MARCH 2013 LUST INSPIRED REQUESTS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
Memorise:Ye ask; and receive not,, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. James 4:3
Read; James 4:1-3
Bible in one year: Micah 1-3

Key point: When your prayer request is motivated by your lust or a demon of lust, it will go unanswered by God.

The knowledge of the spirit operating behind the scene of a given situation will guide a believer on who to fight and how to fight. Lying spirits can go to the extent of giving different people fake dreams about their target victim, in order to discredit the fellow. And it will look so real. If several persons believe some falsehood about you, know that lying spirits are at work. Unfortunately, because many believers are not careful enough, almost anybody can be used by such spirits. Too many battles are misdirected. We are fighting against one another in the Body of Christ today because certain demons are operating behind the scene to hit heads against each other. That is partly a diversionary tactic. And this situation is bringing a lot of wastage in the area of prayer. James 4:3 says one reason we ask but fail to get results is because our requests are misdirected. If only God reveals the man hours in prayer and fasting over wrong requests, you would be very amazed. Some brother can spend three weeks praying and fasting for somebody he perceives to be an enemy to die, and he will be surprised, all he needed to do was to ask God to reveal the true situation to him and afterwards, he will know what spirit to face and how to use God's Word to face it, while knowing how to pray about the human figure involved in the situation.

If the advice of James is anything to go by, it is that we must start praying rightly. The truth is, spending five minutes praying - hitting the nail on its head will give you more results than spending 100 hours praying wrongly. According to today's reading, James felt bad that certain carnal behaviours and prayers were motivated by lusts, which as a matter of fact were instigated by the spirit of lust. Check the spirit of covetousness while desiring to have what your neighbour has! Check the spirit of lust while desiring a lady because of her physical endowments. Any request you make having these as your motivators amount to lust. God will meet your needs but He will not service your lust!

GREAT PIECE

Presently listening to one of his sermons...I bless God for his life.

I love the Open Heavens devotional. In this fast-paced life, it helps to get my day started off right. When I miss a day, its because I didn't pray that morning

I like Pastor Adeboye's teachings a lot!!!
He always connects the physical with the spiritual!!!

members trying to bring this MOG to limelight

silibaba: members trying to bring this MOG to limelight

just like you called him man of God members don't have to do that God has already done that.

you could do better than that your pastor only if you open the door of your heart abd let Jesus in.

adeboye na God?

Lakayana: Just as you called him man of God members don't have to do that God has already done that.

Hmmm....James 4:1-3....this Adeboye guy can really turn the Bible upside down.Maybe he and his followers should read James 5:1-3....1.Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you 2. Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten 3. Your gold and silver are cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have reaped treasure together for the last days.

adeboye na God?

some people are so bitter unnecessarily! Some people like u, u argued they were tryin to bring him to lime light. I mean, some widely knwn even by the boko harams.
Now u asking if he's God. Was there any form of worshiping him or praying to him? I think u're an embittered hypocrite who worships his own pastor.

some people, like I say, are unnecessarily bitter. Where is the turning of the bible in an upside manner?
The man was preaching abt why some people pray and they receive not, and u are here talkin about a chapter that clearly talked abt the dangers of riches!
James 4 clearly explains why u pray without result, and dt tallys with the preaching.
And even if we decided to use the same James 5 as a reference, one can still tell u some people dnt receive answers because they are well olivious of the dangers of what they seek for!
I mean, it's not new dt most people get rich only for the wealth to turn them into something else, ask for a car and get killed by d same car. Forced a child and died while givin birth.
In recap, u need a brain for a rational argument!

Timely and refreshing

I'm not here to judge or criticise any one but truth be told, I've never heard this MOG preach about lust the way it should be preached about.. Lust here does not involve having sexual desires, like someone clearly stated, he's lusting after money and that's true..

is that all?

Nice sermon.

Nobody can tell me the prayer God answers, he does things in his way which no 1 understands. Lust or not, God gives wen he wants and He doesn't wen he doesn't want.

You have said it all. Just be silent now as silence is the best answer to a fool at his age.

I have learnt something very interesting from this message. I got to put it to practice.
