Memorise: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:9
Read: 1 Peter 5:8-9
Bible in one year: Job 38-42
Action point: Pray that God will grant you grace to increase your resolve and not to yield to Satan as Satan increases his resolve to bring you down.

The Lord Jesus Christ gave three orders to His army on earth. First, we are to love, which is the greatest of all. Second, we are to recruit civilians into His army. The third order has to do with our relationship with the enemy. James 4:7 says,
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
If you are a soldier of Jesus, you are expected to resist the devil. To resist entails applying force in preventing something from happening. If you do not understand your relationship with your enemies, you will waste God's valuable resources and turn yourself into a laughing stock. For instance, many people bind the devil while they are expected to resist him. He will only laugh at them and continue to do what he was doing. Such a Christian may think that the devil has either become more powerful or God's Word has become less potent, not knowing that the problem is with him or her. Stop straying from the code of conduct guiding God's army!

Memorise: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Corinthians 1:29
Read: 1 Samuel 18: 5-9
Bible in one year: Job 35-37
Key point: When men thank you, never receive it, simply forward it to God. It is to save your neck.

Another tool Satan can use to derail you from your trip to Heaven is the friend you trust. It is good to have friends - good and God-fearing ones at that. Yet, you have to deal cautiously with such friends so that you don't fall if the devil decides to use them. Learn from the relationship between Jesus and Peter. Peter was very close to the Master and loved Him greatly. One day, Peter received a revelation from God and Jesus openly commended him. When the devil saw this, he immediately used the same Peter in a bid to derail God's plan for Jesus (Matthew 16: 15-17, 21-23).

Memorise: Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, Hebrews 10:19
Read: Esther 5:1-3
Bible in one Year: Job 32-34
Prayer point: Father, thank You for giving me access into Your presence. Lord, let me never be denied this access both now and in eternity.

When Queen Esther went into the inner court of the king, she risked her life, but because she obtained favour, the king stretched the golden sceptre he was holding towards her. She was then allowed to approach the king and he made her an incredible offer. The first thing we learn in this story is that powerful kings are not easily approached except according to laid down rules, otherwise the individual could lose his or her life. As it is with earthly kings with regards to access, so is it with the King of kings. When God was about to come down on Mount Sinai, He gave specific instructions to the children of Israel. For them to approach His presence, they were to be set apart for two days, abstains from sex, wash their clothes and make themselves presentable. Yet, while in God's presence, they must keep a safe distance from the mountain. Whoever touched the mountain - be it man or beast would have to die (Exodus 19:10-13). Not even the priests were allowed .to climb up to meet the Lord at the top of the mountain; any priest ............................................................ http://earlydigest..com/2013/03/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-monday-25th.html

Memorise: Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. Acts 23:5
Read: Leviticus 6:1-6
Bible in one year: Job 28-31
Key point: Pending restitution is a drain pipe through which efforts that should give you increase are wasted. The more of it you have, the more wasted and drained you will be.

Restitution is the act of restoring what was fraudulently taken. It also involves presenting the truth about the lies earlier told concerning a given situation. It is a way to straighten crooked paths. Restitution is for the good of the one doing it Having a pending restitution can actually get you grounded. Many years ago, on my way to the University of Ibadan for a Bible study, we drove into a fuel (gas) station to refuel. The following morning as we were about to leave, the car started but it refused to move. After several efforts, we got a mechanic who checked and said there was water in the carburettor. The fuel we bought was a mixture of petrol (gas) and water. He said we would have to drop the fuel tank and separate the fuel (gas) from the water before the car would move. This illustrates restitution. As long as water is mixed with your fuel, you are spiritually grounded. Your engine may start but the car would not move from its current location.

Another analogy is something called a treadmill which keeps ................................................... http://earlydigest..com/2013/03/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-sunday-24th.html

Memorise: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ 2 Corinthians 11:13

Read: 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Bible in one year: Malachi 3-4
key Point: If you mind your physical health, you will eat selectively; if you mind your spiritual health you will choose your spiritual diet.
he gift of discerning of spirits opens your eyes to see into the spirit world. It also helps you to differentiate angels from demons because the devil sometimes masquerades as an angel.
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light"
2 Corinthians 11:14

Such practices have been ongoing since the days of the early church. Paul saw deceitful workers and ministers take the shape of godly workers and ministers. Even Satan's apostles began to camouflage as apostles of Christ. Don't be surprised to see them in the church. When a church is growing, all sorts of people will come, including Satan's agents. Some will join the choir while some others will become ushers or preachers; this is why we need this gift today. You must be able to differentiate between genuine workers and pretenders who appear to pray very well and are so hard working, but their plan is to bring down the pastor.

Some people always rush to any gathering where the name of Jesus is mentioned in their quest for miracles or anointing. It takes the gift of discerning of spirits to know that not all empowerment is from God. The mad man of Gadara was so powerful that he could tear iron with bare hands, but what was the source of that power? From demons of course! If you placed him side by side Samson, you may hardly notice any difference. Samson could by the anointing of the Holy Spirit uproot the city gates, while the mad man of Gadara could not be stopped by any man or chains made by men. Some people easily run to so called prophets of God who often boast of just coming down from the mountain after spending weeks or months there. Don't you know that satanic agents spend months and weeks on mountains too? Mark 5:5 says the Gadarene demoniac spent long periods on mountains and in tombs. Be not deceived! Some Christians are so naive and undiscerning that when Satan prays for them on the television, internet programme or meeting, they will say Amen to it! God forbid! Are you so desperate for miracle that you do not mind who prays for you, what spirit the fellow is using and the aftermath of receiving such so called prayers? If you are nonchalant in your quest for spiritual food, you may end up scavenging in a refuse dump. Ask the Lord to open your eyes today!

Memorise: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

Read: Philippians 3:12-15
Bible: in one year: Malachi 1-2
'Prayer point:
A champion who fails to sustain what took him up will soon be an exchampion. Father; by all means help me that I may maintain my position as a champion.

Life is full of battles, contests and struggles. When you win an opponent in a contest, you become a champion or winner. It is not easy to be a champion as it requires great efforts, but to sustain being a champion is even more challenging. All those involved in a contest are potential champions. However out of these, some may never experience what it is like to be a champion. For those who succeed in making it, being a champion is not the end but the beginning of the story. After making several costly sacrifices to become a champion, more daily sacrifices will be required of you to remain a champion. An adage says: "The price of safety is unrelenting vigilance".

Memorise: And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2
Read: Numbers 11:10-17
Bible in one year: Haggai 1-2
Key point: The overbearing attitude of some leaders has robbed them of their helpers and fast-tracked their untimely exit from the earth.

As you advance in age, there is need to adopt more effective ways of serving the Lord. There is need to move from hitting the rock to speaking to the rock. There is need to shift from human wisdom to divine wisdom. You will need to move from doing things in your strength to doing things in His unlimited strength. Furthermore, according to Exodus 17:8-13, you should learn to apply the principle of division of labour to be more effective. It is not possible to do everything by yourself. Even if it were possible, results will come to you at great expense.

Memorise: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
Read: Psalm 33:8-12
Bible in one year: Zephaniah 1-3
Action point: There is no place for giving up in God's plan for His children. Ask that God will give you the strength to fight the fight of faith to the end.

When Elijah arose from sleep and started to eat of the meal from Heaven in 1 Kings 19:5-8, his hope was on the rise, and he began to say, 'I maybe down but I shall not end in defeat'. It is one thing to fall and rise and another to fall and stay down. For the first category, falling is just a bus stop, and you know, you will have to go through several bus stops to get to your destination. For the second category, falling has become the destination. In life, simply remember that every point you fall or fail is a bus stop, not your destination. That you failed or fell several times does not mean that you cannot be celebrated tomorrow if you overcome. Thirdly, know that you are falling or failing because there is a great destination for your life which ..................................................... http://earlydigest..com/2013/03/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-wednesday_19.html
