OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL MONDAY 27 JUNE 2016 GOOD PARENTHOOD Memorise: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Read: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Message Effective parenting must be properly planned if you will be really rewarded by God at the end. There are many people today who are leaving the responsibilities of parenting to strangers, and at the end of the day, the children also turn out to be strangers. Godly parents do not leave their responsibilities to chance; they make deliberate sacrificial choices, having an expected end in mind. Today, it is increasingly becoming very difficult to raise godly children because Western culture and ideas have infiltrated our background. God is longing for fathers who will love and care for the home. God is longing for mothers who will help the children become the best that God wants them to be. One of the people I will eternally be grateful to God for is my mother. She did a great job on me, she would never allow me gallivant around like others were doing. There is always a need for parents to re-adjust their lives in order to accommodate the demands of their children. Most men in the world do not understand the unique role that God wants them to play in the home and this is why you see all kinds of children today, who are causing problems all over the world. Parenting must be intentional, no good act of parenting happens by accident. There is always a price to pay. Who is helping you to nurture you child today? Who is responsible for the growth of your children? It is the mandate of God for parents to produce righteous and godly offspring within the context of marriage. The nation of Israel was in trouble because they had abandoned their covenant with God. They were engaged in ungodly practices that were disrupting God’s plan for their children. Every parent who loves God should be concerned about how to go about raising godly children who will be great vessels to honour in the hands of God. Don't allow your children to follow the instructions of the world system that contradict the Word of God. God is assuring parents that when they train their children in the right way, they will serve God for ever and they will give peace to them. There are parents who do not know peace as a result of the trauma their children are bringing to them. There are parents who have been defrauded by their children. Parents are to train their children to possess good character and godly behaviour. Children should be exposed to the wisdom of righteous living, however, the father should not become a tyrant or dictator in the home. There is nothing good in creating fear and anger in your children just because you want them to know that you are in charge. Every child should have a loving relationship with their parents. You have to open the lines of communication with them, so that they can share the challenges of the different phrases of their lives with you and with this, you can guide them through the Word of God and you will be amazed at how they will respond to the love of God. Key point: You owe it to God and your children to be a good parent. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 9 and Song of Solomon 2:1-7 HYMN 8: GOD, GIVE US CHRISTIAN HOMES! 1. God, give us Christian homes! Homes where the Bible is loved and taught, Homes where the Master's will is sought, Homes crowned with beauty Thy love hath wrought; God, give us Christian homes; God, give us Christian homes! 2. God, give us Christian homes! Homes where the father is true and strong, Homes that are free from the blight of wrong, Homes that are joyous with love and song; God, give us Christian homes; God, give us Christian homes! 3. God, give us Christian homes! Homes where the mother, in queenly quest, Strives to show others Thy way is best, Homes where the Lord is an honored guest; God, give us Christian homes; God, give us Christian homes! 4. God, give us Christian homes! Homes where the children are led to know Christ in His beauty Who loves them so, Homes where the alter fires burn and glow; God, give us Christian homes; God, give us Christian homes! |

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY 26 JUNE 2016 JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST Memorise: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Romans 8:16 Read : Romans 8:14-17 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Message As joint heirs with Christ Jesus, we are to live according to the direction of the Spirit of God because we are the children of God. This will involve having absolute faith in God. It is only those who have submitted to the will of God that can be identified as joint heirs with Christ. Those who allow the flesh and human emotions to rule over then cannot be called the children of God. As joint heirs with Christ, it is Christ that determines the direction of our lives. As joint heirs, we have tremendous privileges. We have been adopted by Jesus to have glorious experiences in life. The implication of this is that all that God makes available to Jesus can be equally accessible to us. This is why you need to have a closer relationship with Him, because it is the extent of your relationship with Him that determines your placement in life. "Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God." Psalms 92:13 You can be anything you want to be before the Almighty God. You can step beyond the level of being called a servant to a son. Sons have tremendous opportunities that servants don't enjoy. When you are a son of Jesus, you can be sure that all His goodness and mercy shall follow you, because those are part of your eternal rights in Him. Jesus is the original King maker. While others may be reigning, He will allow you to rule. While others are struggling to occupy positions, He may just choose you to become relevant in the scheme of things. This we saw in the life of Daniel. Daniel was never a King, in fact, he witnessed the reign of three rulers, yet, he was the one calling the shots. He has access to divine and hidden secrets of the Most High God. While in Egypt, Pharaoh was the king, but Joseph was the one in charge. Even in Potiphars house, everyone was living at the mercy of Joseph. Jesus can make you reign over the affairs of men, this is why you must not allow anything to stage between you and Jesus Christ. If you have gone astray, He is waiting to take away your filth as a sinner and cleanse you to present you as a saint. Calling Abba father implies your trust in Him, your reliance upon Him and the fact that you seek your direction through Him. With this, we will have the witness of the Holy Spirit that we are truly the sons of God. We are children of covenant and every covenant of God concerning you shall be fulfilled in Jesus name. No matter what we go through, we must never deviate from Him because if we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him. Action Point: Are you a son or a servant ? BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : Acts 8-9 and Song of Solomon 1:11-2:7 HYMN 12: MY HOPE IS BUILD ON NOTHING LESS My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. Chorus: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. Chorus: 3. His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. Chorus: 4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. Chorus. |

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL SATURDAY 25 JUNE 2016 PECULIAR PEOPLE Memorise: BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 Read : 1 John 3:1-7 1 BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. Message Are you still in charge of your life or have you surrendered everything to God? Are you still special before God or have you travelled the path of rebellion and self-government? Exodus 19:5 says : *"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine"* Those who are peculiar to God usually appreciate the previlege of being called children of God. They will always want to obey the voice of God and walk in His ways. May you not reject God in Jesus name. The moment a person rejects God,goodness and mercy will never come across the path of such a person. As a peculiar person, you will never experience the trouble those in the world are experiencing because you are special to God. As you trust God in all your ways, you will be exempted from the evil that befalls those who take over the affairs of their lives through self-government. Peculiar people cannot go where others go. They cannot wear the kind of body revealing clothes that others wear; they will not fall in love and out like others do because they governed by the love of God. They will not sleep when they are to be working, they will not feast when they are to fast. Total submission to the will of the Almighty God is what makes an individual peculiar. Those who are peculiar have become grafted to Christ and they don't know what crisis are all about because their God controls situations and circumstances in their favour. You are not like others, you are special before God, and only He can help you show forth the glory He has put inside of you. As a peculiar person, your ears are programmed to beat Him, *"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk in it, when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left".* You will have an undeniable access to the secrets of God for yourself and the benefit of others. God has created every one of us with great potentials , but unfortunately, some people do not realise these potentials because they refuse to submit their lives to the Creator. Becoming peculiar starts from knowing the Lord Jesus and discovering your purpose in life, you leave the level the level of being just a believer and you move into the realm of son-ship. At this level, you become empowered for exploits and you begin to fulfil destiny in grand-style. Key Point: Every peculiarity in life begins in Christ BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : Acts 6-7 and Song of Solomon 1:1-10 HYMN 12: MY HOPE IS BUILD ON NOTHING LESS My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. Chorus: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. Chorus: 3. His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. Chorus: 4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. Chorus. |
