Topic: Nothing Hidden (Open Heaven 6 January 2021)


Memorise: For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. – Luke 8:17


Read: Luke 12:1-3 (KJV)


1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.


2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.


3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.


Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 1-2


Open Heaven 6 January 2021 Wednesday MESSAGE:

Many years ago, a man who had a chronic illness was advised to see me for prayers. I prayed for him but nothing happened, so I asked God why that was so. God told me to ask, him about something he did at a particular stage of his life. When I did, the man was shocked, and he opened up on a secret he thought was well kept.

Several years before, he had committed a crime and was due to be convicted due to the testimonies of some witnesses. He knew this, so he hatched a plan. Since the witnesses were to come to court by boat, he arranged for their boat to capsize and they all drowned. He then made sure that all the people he sent to wreck their boat were also killed. He was eventually acquitted of the initial crime and he lauded himself for covering his tracks excellently. It came as a shock to him seeing the incident spring up again. Obviously, he did not know of God’s word in Proverbs 11:21 which says:



 

“Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.”


He thought the crimes had been covered, but there he was suffering the repercussions. Everything you do today is a seed that will produce fruits in due time. It does not matter how much you try to bury it, one day, it will spring forth and everyone will see the harvest of your secrets.


Stop stealing, stop committing adultery/fornication, stop watching pornography and put an end to every ungodly habit in your life today. No matter how hard you try to hide these sinful acts they will be revealed someday. Indeed, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.


In any case, the people you are pretending for don’t have the power to send you to Heaven or hell. Whatever they think of you does not affect your eternity. The One who will Judge you at the end of time knows even the thoughts of your heart, so stop pretending and start disciplining yourself to do the right thing always.


I would rather expose my sins to men and make it to Heaven than look holy to men and end up in hell. Since I cannot hide my sins from God I would rather not commit sin at all. Make up your mind to stay away from sin today.


Open Heaven 6 January 2021 Wednesday Reflection:

What will you gain if everyone thinks you are holy on earth and you end up in hell?


Open Heaven 6 January 2021 Wednesday Hymn 7: Have You Been To Jesus

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Refrain:

Are you washed in the blood,

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb

Are your garments spotless Are they white as snow

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb


Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Do you rest each moment in the Crucified

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
