Memorise: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:14
Read: Matthew 5:14-16
Bible in one year: 2 Chronicles 4-6
Action point: Pray that in places where cannibalism is still rife, God will expose and bring an end to such devilish practice.

The human body is weak and fragile yet there are some of its parts that are even more delicate. There are at least seven of such delicate body parts namely the heart, liver, kidney, lung, tongue, eardrum and the eyes. Of these seven, some of them are more protected than others. The eardrum is slightly tucked in. The lungs are barricaded by strong, bony rib cage. The heart, liver and kidneys are slightly concealed. One part that is least protected is the eyes, hence they are very vulnerable. If you consider the eyelids as some form of protection, remember they are very limited in what they can do, since they cannot resist any sharp object that tries to prick the eyes. So of all these sensitive body parts, the eyes need extra protection.
In Psalm 17:8, David the popular psalmist prayed, "Keep me as the apple of thy eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,"

This is a very important prayer. For God to keep you as the apple of his eyes means that you want to become His favourite so that He can jealously watch over you. At this point, let us look at the role of the eyes to the body. First, we see with our eyes and in the same way, God wants to see the world through us. Speaking of this, Jesus said,
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." Matthew 5:14
The whole world lies in darkness but for the presence of believers. If you have received Jesus Christ the light of the world into your heart, you automatically become a light of the world. So when God looks at the dark world, He will be able to see the world by the number of tiny lights dotting it. In Genesis 18:20-32, God told Abraham that if He could see 10 tiny dots of lights, He would spare Sodom and Gomorrah. This implies that, if we could have enough dots of lights in Nigeria or any nation of the earth, and they are shinning as they are supposed to shine, God will spare our nations, and things would be very different from what they have been. Are you shining as the light you were created to be? Or has darkness absorbed your glow? Get back on your feet and rededicate yourself to Christ today! Live right before God, please Him in all things and spread the Good news of Jesus, and you will shine like the brightness of the firmament.

Memorise: And Elijah said unto Ahab Get thee up, eat and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 1 Kings 18:41
Read: 1Kings 18:41-46
Bible in one year: 2Chronicles 1-3
Prayer point: Father, make me sensitive to heaven's communications. Henceforth, let events no longer take me by surprise.
The gift of prophesy entails being told or shown future events by God. What are the implications of such revelation gifts? It is to enable you see the invisible and to hear the inaudible. Believe it or not, when we gather in God's presence, there are big, angelic beings in our midst and around us. One reason God may not want to show them to us is so that we do not become frightened or distracted. Because angels are usually of great size, if your eyes are open to see them, the first thing they will say to you is, Fear not. This season, the Lord will open your eyes to see angels and they will minister effectively to you.
All around us, we are surrounded .................................................................

Memorise: When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2
Read: Proverbs 11:1-3
Bible in one year: Romans 12-16
Prayer point: Father, every element of pride that will reduce me to an ex-champion, please take it away from me today.
Another pain of ex-champions is loneliness. While maintaining their lead position, wherever they go, virtually everyone would like to touch them, shake their hands, take photographs with them and get their autographs. But when they become ex-champions, people would see them and face the opposite direction. One of my daughters was occupying a hot seat in an organization. She was the toast of the high and mighty and that of her colleagues. She got their attention and received gifts from many because they depended on her for certain favours. You can imagine what happened when she was moved from that seat; all the attention, care, pleasantness and gifts immediately shifted to the next person occupying that position. She could not believe the speed with which those courting her favours took their flight. It was then she realised that people did not really regard her but the seat she occupied,........................................................................

Memorise: How then shalt they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14
Read: Romans 10:13-15
Bible in one year: Romans 9-11
Prayer point: Father, as Your servant, let Your Word come alive through me to those you are sending me to.
From John 8:31-32 we understand that: revelation received from God's Word brings about freedom. It is the truth of God's Word that sets free. You must be ready to continue in His Word. How do you continue in His word? First by constantly hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:14 says,
"How then shalt they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
In the above scripture, we see a link among certain variables - the preacher, the message, hearing, believing and salvation; these are all interconnected. What you hear is a function of who is preaching or teaching the Word. Romans 10:15 says for you to hear the good news that will deliver your desired freedom, the preacher must be sent. Are you a man or woman of God? Congratulations! But were you sent? If yes, who sent you? Is it God, Satan, self or circumstances? The message that a preacher preaches is determined to a large extent .......................................................................... http://earlydigest..com/2013/04/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-thursday.html

Memorise: For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:8
Read: Ephesians 6:13-18
Bible in one year: Romans 5-8
According to Psalm 33:4, everything God does is in truth. Ask that from today, whatever you do will be in truth.
Resisting the devil is a battle order to carry out a dangerous assignment because of the kind of enemy we are facing, but we thank our God who has won us the victory and equipped us with the right battle gear to carry out this assignment. Ephesians 6:12 says,
'For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Your fight is not a carnal, visible fight but a spiritual one. You are not fighting fellow human beings, but you are at war with the negative powers using these human beings against you. By the time you obey the Lord's command by going out, and casting out demons, you should expect the devil to fight back. Some people are afraid of such attacks so they mind their business expecting the devil to leave them alone. Unfortunately, whether you plunder the kingdom of darkness - by leading ...................................................................................

Memorise: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26
Read: Romans 8:26-27
Bible in one year: Romans 1-4
Prayer point: Holy Spirit:, thank You for helping me to pray in times past. More than ever before, please help me to pray in line with God's will for every situation from today.
One of the reasons why you must draw very close to the Holy Spirit is that after you are born-again, He is the one who gives you feedback from Heaven that your name has been written in the Lamb's Book of life as enunciated in Romans 8:16:
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."
And when the devil brings doubts concerning your spiritual status, it is the Holy Spirit that reassures you that you are still saved. If not for Him, most of us would have lost our salvation and gone back to the world. What of your sanctification? Romans 15:16 and 2 Thessalonians 2:13 say we are sanctified through the Holy Spirit. Also 1 Peter 1:5 says,

Memorise: And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:29
Read: Luke 22:28-29
Bible in one year: Isaiah 37-39
Key point: The poorest believer in Christ is richer than the richest man on earth.
When we look at the offer of Ahasuerus of up to half of his kingdom to his queen, we marvel at his generosity (Esther 5:1-3). He was so pleased with her that he was prepared to share his kingdom with her. That is very magnanimous! Do you know that Jesus Christ has also offered to share His Kingdom with His favourites - His bride? Romans 8:17 says,
"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"
The fact that you have become a child of God makes you a joint-heir with Christ and therefore a co-owner of all that He has. Beloved, no matter how impoverished it seems you are, always remember that you are a co-owner of everything that Jesus has. You surely are extremely rich!
In Matthew 19:28, when Peter asked Jesus what will be their gain for leaving everything to follow Him, the Lord replied that they .......................................................................................

Memorise: Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God' Psalm 3:2

Read: Psalm 3:1-2

Bible in one year: Isaiah 34-36

Action point: Check through the Bible and list out 10 things you can do to enjoy the long life God has promised you. Simply obey them.

Gain is good but unjust gain is evil. Proverbs 1:19 says what the greedy fellow calls gain is exactly what will take his life. Never take what belongs to another! Greed has wrecked many ministries, leaders and families. That benefit you think you are deriving from your evil act of denying others what is rightfully theirs will snuff life out of you. Have you unjustly cut down the benefits of your subordinates because you believe they are at the receiving end? Return it today or face the unpleasant consequences. If you want to live long and have peace in the home, steer clear of greed!

Moreover to prolong your days, besides avoiding cheating other people; you must love God with the totality of your being. Luke 10:27 says, 'And he answering said, Thou shalt love thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." Your love for God must be total.' When your love for God is total, you will find it almost impossible to do anything contrary to what He likes. Do you love God? What is the degree of love you have for Him? This love will also make you obey His voice. When you obey the One who is your life (Colossians 3:4), you can be rest assured that He will lengthen your days. In addition, Deuteronomy 30:20 connotes you must cleave to Him like a leech. If you see someone who is attached to God, you will know. His God-consciousness will thrill you. He knows God is always with Him so he is very selective of the places he goes, what he does and what he refuses to do. God's work and Word are given top priority in his life.

According to 1 Kings3:14, for God to lengthen your days, you must walk in His ways by copying the righteous character and deeds of our Lord Jesus Christ. You must also keep His commandments - complying with all His dos and avoiding all His don'ts. Is there anything God asked you to do which is yet undone? You must never forget any of His laws but keep them in your heart according to Proverbs 3:1-2. Surround yourself with the scriptures. Besides these, as indicated in Psalm 21:4, don't forget to ask for length of days to enable you serve Him and His people longer. Don't be like Hezekiah who used his extension period to create trouble for his family. Above all, ask for wisdom so that you can achieve God's plan for your life.

Memorise: Surely, the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:10-12
Bible in one year: Isaiah 31-33
Action point: There are people God must inform of future events before they happen. Ask God to make you one of them promising to pay the price.

Another part of the revelational gifts is the gift prophecy. Without any doubt, God knows everything about everyone He has created, and he knows the end of a thing right from the beginning. Act 15:18 says,
"Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world."
You are one of the works of God's hands and He knows exactly how you will end ever before He created you. May you end well in Jesus name. Revelation 1:8 says God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. The gift of prophecy is therefore said to be in operation when God tells His servant things that will happen ahead of time. This involves having a pre-knowledge of events - which is just a bit of God's inexhaustible sea of knowledge. God likes to give away such ......................................................................................... http://earlydigest..com/2013/04/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-saturday-6th.html
