Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The
earth is the lord's, and the fullness thereof: the world, and they that dwell
therein.
Psalms 24:1
Read: Psalms
24:1-2
The fire of the Holy Ghost is not only for the selective
destruction of your enemies while guarantying your protection; it's also for
consuming stones. This we see in 1 Kings 18:38-39. Elijah, after challenging
the prophets of Baal to a duel on Mount Carmel, prayed. The fire of the Holy
Ghost fell on the stones where he offered sacrifice and consumed the sacrifice
and stones on which they were offered. The children of Israel seeing this fell
on their faces and declared the Lordship of Jehovah.
Today, the fire of the Holy Ghost consumes hearts of stone
as promised by God in Ezekiel 36:26. Fire additionally is required in the
bonding and wielding of strong metals. When the Holy Spirit descended on the
heads of the apostles and disciples on the day of Pentecost, it was not only to
empower them but also to bind them together in unity. The Holy Spirit is an
agent of unity. You can measure the presence of the Holy Spirit in an assembly
by the level of unity operating in their midst. How united are you with other believers?
If you truly have the Spirit of God, it will be easy for your minds to be set
on one thing, to speak with one voice and to do things together for the common
good (Romans 12:16). In all, the colour red points to the essence of God as the
giver of Life, Salvation, Deliverance, Victory, the Purify, the Selective
destroyer. Consumer of Hearts of Stone and the Unifier.
Another rainbow colour from the dispersal of white light is
yellow. Yellow is the colour of gold. Gold speaks of the self-sufficiency of
God. In Haggai2:8, God says:
The silver is
mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
In Psalms 24:1, we read that the earth and its fullness
belongs to God. Every precious thing is contained in the earth. So the One who
owns the earth with everything in it as well as own the heavens is unquestionably
the richest personality in the universe. Being the richest, there is nothing
you ask that He cannot afford. Even if it does not presently exist. He can
create one for you. Are you lacking in any area of life? The Lord will
embarrass you with His blessings as He promised in Deuteronomy 28:1,11,12. Are
you financially blessed and you think you have reached your peak? Wait a
minute! With God, the peak of man's achievements is the starting point for God.
The Lord will take you to a level that will embarrass you thoroughly. Wealth
and abundance is your portion because you serve the All- Sufficient God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, reveal yourself to me as the All-Sufficient God.
Bible in one year:
Isaiah 40-42
