MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 3 May 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Heaven’s Annex

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Pastor D.K. Olukoya

TOPIC: Heaven’s Annex (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 3 May 2019)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 14-15; Luke 22:3-46

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 24:1-10

MEMORY VERSE: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” – Matthew 6:33

The MESSAGE:

In our Lord’s prayer, Jesus taught us to seek the kingdom and will of God on earth. In essence He is saying that you should ensure that your life on earth is a replication of what is happening in heaven. That is the reason why you were born: to be a citizen of heaven and God’s ambassador on earth.

This means that your life: body, soul and spirit, physical and spiritual environments are all God’s throne, and must be holy enough for God to want to inhabit (Isaiah 6:1; Revelation 4:2).

It also means that, just as in heaven, you of Heaven Annex on earth must seek to do the will of God at all times in your thoughts, words, actions, family, business, home, marriage: everywhere. Or is there an angel in heaven who would dare disobey or rebel against God? The only one who tried it is trembling with his gang as they await the day of judgement. God hates disobedience with a passion and if He did not spare an archangel, as a righteous God, He will not let the sinner go unpunished.

Citizenship of heaven means that, just as the place of Lucifer is no longer seen in heaven, satan’s place must not be seen in your life. In fact, Jesus tells us that though satan claims the earth as His territory, the only place reserved for him is underneath our feet (John 10:10). Yes, as a Christian, you are empowered to trample the god of this world under your feet.

As all ambassadors do, you are expected to connect to your Head of State all the time for briefing and instructions. Daily Bible reading and meditation plus ceaseless prayer is what you need for this. Just imagine, as a citizen of heaven and God’s ambassador on earth, you have many special privileges on earth, but the one I like most is the immunity from harassment from the law enforcement agents of the host country. Satan’s hosts cannot just invade your territory. If they do, there will be retaliatory war from Heaven! (Psalm 24:7-10).

Secondly, since you come from a richer country, even if there is a famine in your host country, your home country will keep you well supplied of the good things you need (Psalm 34:10).

Beloved, if you have not done so, I beg you, be quick and process your heaven’s citizenship papers through holy living, fear of God and total surrender. The King of kings is eagerly waiting to appoint you as His ambassador on earth.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
JESUS SAYS IF YOU SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU WILL NOT LACK ANYTHING GOOD.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Receive the power to live a godly and righteous life.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Lord, I glorify and adore You for counting me worthy to be a citizen of Your kingdom in heaven and on earth, in the name of Jesus.
2. Almighty God, empower me to seek Your kingdom in all that I think, say or do, in the name of Jesus.
3. I confess my sins and those of my parents and ancestors and plead the blood of Jesus to sanctify me and to keep me holy and worthy, in the name of Jesus.
   EVENING
4. My Father, add fire to the shoes of iron You have given me to trample upon whatever wants to separate me from You, in the name of Jesus.
5. Lord, I present my case before You today. Help me to deal with these issues in my life (name them), in the name of Jesus.
6. Let all satanic gates blocking me from enjoying the dividends of Calvary be lifted up, in the name of Jesus.
7. Father, make my own annex of heaven a place You will be proud to call Your throne, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: Daddy [Open Heavens for Teens 3 May 2019]

Memorise: “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” – Galatians 4:6

Read: Galatians 4:4-7

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 6-7, Luke 23:27-38

MESSAGE:

After we became born again, God did not turn us into servants; 1 John 3:1-2 says that we have become sons of God. Believers in Christ are the only group of people who can call themselves children of their God. From the introduction of the Lord’s prayer in Matt. 6:9-13 (Our Father who art in heaven), there is no doubt that God is a Father to every believer, however, He is a Daddy to some.

Only a few people can call God Daddy. Many people call a man ‘father’, but it is only those who are close to him that will call him ‘daddy’. When you say ‘father’, it gives the impression of someone distant, but when you say ‘daddy’, it suggest one who is living and homely, with whom you can easily converse. You can cultivate your relationship with God to the point you begin to see God as your daddy who you can discuss anything with. The fellow who will can God Daddy will be God’s favourite, one that does His will and He is very pleased with. Do you prefer God as a Father or Daddy, the choice is yours.

Key Point: When you become born again, that makes God your Father. When you become His favourite, He becomes your Daddy.

Hymn 16:

1 I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Chorus
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.

2 Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.

3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

Open Heaven 3 May 2019 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Divine Assessment of Giving

Topic: Divine Assessment of Giving (Open Heaven 3 May 2019)

Memorise: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”- 2 Corinthians 9:7

Read: Mark 12:41-44 (KJV)

41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 46-47, Jeremiah 29:24-30:9

Open Heaven 3 May 2019 Friday MESSAGE:

Many children of God are losing a lot, either because they do not know the Scriptures enough or fail to apply what they know from it. Like Abraham the father of faith, some of them who are millionaires today would have graduated to the level of being billionaire, but they have not moved to that level because they feel they are already doing enough in the area of giving when compared to what others are giving. They do not know that God’s assessment of giving is different from the way people see it. Although today’s memory verse encourages us to be cheerful givers, we should also be conscious of the fact that God is the one who gives commendation for our offerings, and His commendations is not based on how much is given but how much remains after giving! This is clearly seen in today’s Bible reading. Many well-to-do folks among the brethren would be amazed to discover that in spite of the millions they are giving, through commendable, many brethren who are less endowed are actually out-giving them in the sight of God!

Contrary to the misguided opinion of some people, God is actually interested in what we give. In Mark 12:41, Jesus Christ personally observed the offertory in the synagogue, so much so that He knew how many mites the widow dropped in the offering box! I would like to point out here that not all widows are poor. There are actually multi-millionaire widows in our society. However, we are very sure that the widow referenced in today’s Bible reading was poor. We need to get this distinction right because there are certain widows in the Church today who are not supposed to queue up for charity whenever it is being distributed, but they do so. Such charity is meant for the poor among widows. Another lesson we should learn in today’s Bible reading is that in spite of all those who gave fat offerings, heaven commended the poor widow’s giving as being the most sacrificial of all. Let those who specialize in taking offering beware of making uncomplimentary remarks against those who give “tattered notes”, because that might be all that they have!

Beloved, the amount you have left in your storehouse after you have given to God determines your score card in His presence. I pray that you will not only give cheerfully from today but you will also begin to give bountifully, and you will not miss your reward in Jesus’s Name.

Open Heaven 3 May 2019 Friday Action Point:

Whenever you are giving to God, always consider what you are holding back to determine how sacrificial your giving is to the Almighty God, who gives power to make wealth.

Open Heaven 3 May 2019 Friday Hymn 4: Take My Life, And Let It Be

1 Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2 Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose,
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
