OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL, For Sunday 13 April 2014 “PEACE ALL-ROUND II” - Pastor E.A Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL, For Sunday 13 April 2014  “PEACE ALL-ROUND II” BY Pastor E.A Adeboye

Memory Verse: Hebrews 12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 

Read: Hebrews 12:14-15
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Message

Although there are different dimensions of peace, the highest level of peace a man can attain is peace with God through Jesus Christ. Know this however: the fact that you are a child of God and love God does not necessarily imply you will not have problems. A fearful situation automatically erodes peace of mind unless if as a child of God you put your trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3).

The character flaws of a Christian can be detrimental to the flourishing of the peace given by our Lord Jesus Christ. One character flaw top on this list is bitterness. Bitterness can grow and even take root in a heart. The root of bitterness stops the children of God from enjoying the peace of God. While the root of bitterness in the heart of an individual will affect other people around, a big chunk of the adverse effect of this evil root is on the individual harbouring it. 

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL For Saturday 5 April 2014 - “INGREDIENTS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER” – Pastor E.A Adeboye

INGREDIENTS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER 

Memory Verse: If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: Psalm 66:18

 Read: Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

 Message 

Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us an outline of the pattern our prayers should follow in what is called the Lord’s Prayer. We must draw some eternal lessons on how to get answers to our prayers by studying the few words of this outline. 

The first lesson is that, we must acknowledge the Fatherhood of God if we want to receive answers to our prayers. This is why those who argue that God has no children are short-changing themselves. Jesus Christ in Matthew 15:26b said: “It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.” Who are the dogs? The Bible defines them in Revelation 22:15: “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
