Open Heaven 30 November 2021 TOPIC: It May Not Be The Devil!


MEMORISE: O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure – Psalm 38:1


READ: Psalm 38:1-9 (KJV)


1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.


2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.


3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.


4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.


5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.



 

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.


7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.


8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.


9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 7-12


Open Heaven 30 November 2021 MESSAGE:

It is disastrous for a Christian not to know the source of his or her challenges. It is indeed very possible that the challenge you are going through may not even be from the devil. It may be a chastisement coming directly from the Lord. Once you are able to confirm this, like the Psalmist in today’s Scripture reading, you must humble yourself in repentance before Jesus. you must always look inward anytime you feel that your relationship with God is strained. That is what the Psalmist always did. Sadly, today, many Christians always want to exonerate themselves; they are so quick to attribute the challenges of their lives to the devil. At times, I imagine the devil saying “You’ve missed it. You are a child of God; I dare not come near you.” How I wish all Christians would be spiritually sensitive.

You must know that sin brings the wrath of God upon a sinner, irrespective of the spiritual standing of the fellow before he or she fell into sin. I know this is because Ezekiel 33:12 says:


“…The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: …neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.”


Thank God for 1 John 2:1-2 which offers hope to anyone who strays into sin. It says:


“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”


If you have sinned, you must not be too proud to repent. Likewise, when others have sinned, it is not your place to say whether they would be forgiven or not.


As a body, we are not to bury wounded soldiers who are still struggling to survive. Unfortunately, that’s what many so-called Christians do; we take away the life support from dying soldiers and make their journey to hell faster! There is enough room at the top for all children of God, so there is no need to pull anyone down in order to rise.


Don’t become an enemy to yourself. a house divided against itself shall not stand (Matthew 12:25).


Open Heaven 30 November 2021 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please open my eyes to see the true cause of every challenge I am facing, in the mighty name of Jesus.


Open Heaven 30 November 2021 HYMN 7: Have You Been To Jesus For The Cleansing Power?

1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?

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?


2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour’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?


3. 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?


4. 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,

O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
