Memorise: Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. – Matthew 18:18
Read: 2 Chronicles 7:11-14 (KJV)
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 1-3, Luke 18:1-17
MESSAGE:
Heaven has windows which can be open or shut. If shut, there will be no rain. Rivers will begin to dry up and this will bring famine and death. One way by which God judges people is by shutting the windows of Heaven over them. In Amos 4:6-9, God says He can open heavenly windows for some and shut it over some. This means that while some people are crying that things are too hard for them, others are feasting, celebrating and saying that things are really good. May the Lord open the heavenly windows over you in Jesus’ name.
God’s anointed prophets can also open or close heavenly windows. This is one reason why you must carefully relate with a genuine man of God. One pronouncement is all that the Heaven is waiting for to open or shut the windows over a person, city or nation. Do you know that as long as you remain in right standing with God, and please Him in all you do, you can leave open heavenly windows over your life? You can also command open the windows already shut. This is one key that believers have, but many have not been using. Pray for the power today!
Action Point: Pray that God will open the windows of Heaven over you and your loved ones today.

Hymn 3:
1. There shall be showers of blessing
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the Savior above
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drop ’round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2. There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
3. There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us a refreshing;
Come now and honour Thy Word.
4. There shall be showers of blessing
Oh that today they might fall,
now as to God we are confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
