Open Heavens Devotional
by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The
King's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it
whithersoever he will. Proverbs 21:1
Read: Daniel
4:24-27
As the King of kings, God wields His power, influence and
authority over other kings. Daniel 4:25 says God is the true king maker as He
determines who ascends the throne and who does not. Psalms 75:7 says He can set
up a king and pull down another king. Proverbs 21:1 says He has the hearts of
kings in his hands and turns them wherever He wants. Kings control things while
God controls the kings.
One implication of God being the King of kings is that all
power brokers and controllers of men are at His beck and call and He can use
them to back you up in fulfilling your destiny. Joseph is an example of someone
that experienced this. God revealed His plan to make him great in two separate
but similar dreams. Joseph was sure he was not created to die prematurely or to
become a victim of circumstance manipulated by men. But at some point in his
life, Joseph was sitting in prison instead of on the throne. Then the King of
kings gave a set of dreams to Pharaoh and within 24 hours, Joseph dreams were
fulfilled. Are you presently located in the pit or prison of life while heading
for your promised throne? The King of kings will engineer events that will lift
you up and help you to fulfil your destiny.
According to Romans 8:31, if the King of king? is on your
side, nobody can be against you. When the question is asked: If God be for you,
who can be against you? Usually, we chorus 'Nobody', but forget that sometimes,
we can decide to be against ourselves. Our Lord Jesus said there is no neutral
place: It is either you are for Him or you are against Him. You are either
gathering with Him or scattering from Him. You are either a Christian who is
100 percent committed or you are not. Where do you stand in all of these? How
often do you call on the King of kings to influence the power brokers in your
favour?
KEY POINT:
Some people lobby people while some others lobby the King of
kings.
Kings are limited to their domains, but the King of kings is
not limited to any domain.
Bible in one year: Isaiah
43-45
