Topic: Unchanging God [Teens Open Heavens 11 October 2018]

Memorise: And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. Hebrews 1:12

Read: Hebrews 1:8-12 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 45-47, Colossians 3

MESSAGE:

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed until His sweat became as thick as blood, but God did not change His mind about granting Jesus His prayer request. God cannot change even in the slightest degree; Hebrews 13:8 says He retains His essence in spite of fleeting moments, situations and circumstances. Before, during and after prayer, God remains God.

Nothing changes God. Your request does not add to or subtract from Him. Your prayer does not strip Him of His dress. What He wore before creating the world is still what He has on at this moment. God is eternally God. He will always be enthroned. Why don’t you genuinely hand over your life to this Unchanging God? He is ever faithful. He is merciful, and His promises are forever!

Key Point: Stick with God, He never fails.

Topic: You Are Safe In The Lord [TREM 11 October 2018 Daily Devotional]

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe”. Proverbs 18:10

When God begins a thing, He will surely conclude it. It doesn’t matter who or what is harassing you, I am certain that He will sort them out. His name shall be called Jesus: the Saviour of the world. No wonder the Psalmist says, “The name of the Lord is a Strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe.” The Greek word there is ‘soteria’. It includes saving you from sin, preservation, prosperity, and security. His name shall be called Saviour. When you run into that name you are safe from the arrows of the wicked and from the winds of adversity.

Yes, you are safe from all your adversaries and oppressors because God will flush them out. You are safe from recession. Therefore, you cannot lack. God fed the children of Israel for 40 years in the wilderness. They dressed up for 40 years. Their clothes never wore out. Their shoes never wore out. As they were growing their dresses were growing.

I declare you will build houses that you cannot account for how it was built. Right now, you don’t have money, but I am telling you, you will buy houses. God is going to do new things in your life. You are going to sign a type of money you have never signed in your life. God says He will contend with those who contends with you. When He is through they will know that He is your Saviour your Redeemer. From today, I declare over your life that you will not fail. You will not lose any battle. Those that thought they have caged you will be disappointed. God will spring surprises for you.

Topic: Prepare for Persecution [Kenneth & Gloria Copeland Devotional 11 October 2018]

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. – 2 Timothy 3:12

Did you catch that? He said all who live godly lives are going to suffer persecution. Not just the super-saints, not just the missionaries in hostile lands—but all.

If you’re going to live for God, you’re going to run into persecution somewhere along the line. The devil’s going to make sure of it!

Now I’m not saying that to frighten you or to depress you. I’m saying it because I want you to be prepared.

When you’re wise to the strategies of the devil, it’s harder for him to use them successfully on you to confuse you and get you off track.

Second Corinthians 10:4 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” So stay armed and ready for Satan’s attack. Then, whenever and however it comes, it won’t bring your life to a halt or even slow you down.

That’s especially important right now because we’re living in the last days. The devil’s time is drawing short. He is desperate. He is going to do everything he can to stop the Church. But Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church!

Remember the more we grow to be like Jesus and the more God’s glory is revealed through our lives, the bigger threat we are to Satan’s kingdom. Jesus said, “Rejoice and be glad at such a time, and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven” (Luke 6:23, The Amplified Bible).

So, when persecution comes your way, and you know it will, rejoice and be glad. Take the Jesus cure and begin to leap and jump and praise God! There is no way persecution will hurt you if you do that. I’ve tried it and it works.

Topic: Let’s Make Peace [DCLM Daily Manna 11 October 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Matthew 5:21-26 (KJV)

Key Verse: “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift“ (Matthew 5:23,24).

MESSAGE:

Christ’s teachings reveal God’s intentions and true meanings of the commandments which the Jews misapplied.

The Jews had restricted the meaning of “thou shalt not kill” to just physical murder, but Jesus explained that anger and abusive language would equally attract the judgment of God. He emphasised the need for genuine love and consideration for one another above mere service to God. Also, efforts must be made to make peace with an adversary to avoid unpleasant litigations and associated inconveniences.

The Christian life is of two-fold – the character and the service. Both must go together. But quality character precedes Christian service. Our services to God and for one another must be with love and from a pure heart (1 Peter 1:22). As the members of the body function effectively and harmoniously without opposing one another but complement each other, so must the Church (members of the body of Christ) be. Anything that could cause any form of malfunctioning of the body such as tribalism, fault-finding, unforgiving spirit, evil speaking and bribery must be jettisoned to enhance effective fellowship and union. The hand must not say that because it is not the eye, therefore, it is not of the body.

As every member of the body is useful to the effective working of the system (including those not seen), so is every Christian useful to the growth of the Church and its divinely assigned duties on earth. God is always faithful; his admonition to you is: ” Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded” (2 Chronicles 15:7).

Thought For The Day: Be a promoter of unity in the body of Christ.

Topic — Vision: A Necessity For Life’s Journey [Seeds of Destiny 11 October 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: And the Lord answered me and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2

Thought For The Day: The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.

Vision is the capacity to see the ultimate in the immediate; it is the ability to see tomorrow today. Vision is also traveling with the destination in mind.

It has been confirmed that life is a journey, and every journey requires adequate preparation. The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.

Again, just as every journey requires adequate preparation, the journey of life requires adequate preparation and vision is a major necessity in the preparation of the journey of life.

Vision, in this sense, is a mental picture of a preferred future. Vision is also insight into God’s plan for your life. Vision gives you the ability to plan and the capacity to pursue your plans and measure your progress. This is the point where you ask yourself questions like, ‘Who am I? Why am I? What do I want to achieve in life? How do I intend to achieve it? Your answers to these questions constitute your vision for living. That gives you your vision and mission statements!

Beloved, in order not to faint in life, you need vision; in order not to end your journey on earth as a casualty, vision is a critical requirement.

My counsel is, ask God to give you a vision for your life; and if you already have a vision, ask God to give you more details about the vision and the workable action plan for its realization.

Remember This: The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.

Assignments:
1. Ask God for a solid vision for your life (if you have not yet discovered your vision for living).
2. Make up your mind not to embark on any journey without God.

Prayer: O Lord, I ask that You reveal me to me. Help me with the grace to always possess a solid vision in line with Your Will for my life Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: The Meaning Of Passover [Andrew Wommack Devotional 11 October 2018]

Luke 22:16 “For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

Text: Luke 22:15-18

The Lord longed to share the passover meal with His disciples. He was less than 24 hours away from fulfilling His mission and, like anyone who can see the finish line, He must have had feelings of relief and excitement.

The passover meal commemorated the Jews’ deliverance from slavery in Egypt (Ex. 13:3-10). It also had a much deeper spiritual application that, as Jesus explains here, would be fulfilled through His death. The Jewish nation as a whole had missed any future prophetic meaning of the passover.

On the night of the original passover, the Lord passed through the land of Egypt and judged the land by slaying all the firstborn men and beasts. The Jews had to slay a spotless lamb, take its blood and apply it to the door posts of their homes. They were commanded to remain indoors, under the covering of this blood until morning. When the Lord passed through the land at midnight to execute His judgment, He passed over the homes that had the lamb’s blood on their doors and no one inside was hurt. This is a perfect picture of the redemption that Jesus provides for us.

Everyone deserves judgment because of their sins. However, Jesus provided Himself as a spotless, sacrificial lamb for us, so that if we apply His blood to our lives by confessing Him as Lord, God will pass over us on judgment day.

Jesus was sacrificed on the 14th day of the first month of the Jewish year – the exact day and time that the passover lambs were being slain. Truly, “Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Cor. 5:7).

Topic: The Problem of Boredom [Billy Graham Devotional 11 October 2018]

. . . knowing what lies ahead for you, you won’t become bored with being a Christian . . . — Hebrews 6:12 (TLB)

Do you know what nearly all the sociologists say today in their study of young people? The greatest problem facing young people today is not sex—it is boredom. Did you know that when they had the riot at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire they asked the young people what was wrong, why did they do it? Many of them said, “Just for the hell of it.” Bored—life has no purpose, life has no meaning. Give your life to Christ and you will never spend another bored minute.

Prayer for the day: Lord Jesus, when I gave my life to You, my days were flooded with the splendor of Your love.
