OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR WEDNESDAY 27TH OF JANUARY, 2021: LIKE A CHILD III

THEME: LIKE A CHILD III


MEMORISE:

I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.             Daniel 4:2


READ: Matthew 10:32-33

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

 

MESSAGE:


Children are testifiers. If you give a child a gift, he or she would tell everyone about it. Children also boast a lot about their parents and the benefits they get from them. If you have just got a car, it is most likely that your child will want you to take him or her to school in it so as to show off to their friends. If you give a child a gift, if possible, he or she will tell the whole world about it.


Do you tell everyone what God has done for you or are you ashamed to talk about Him in public? Do you share testimonies of His wondrous works that will make others want to serve your God? I tell stories because I cannot help but brag about the things my God has done. These testimonies have encouraged people; some say "If God can do this, then I will serve Him too".


There was a couple who fought every night, so much so that they became a subject of mockery to their neighbours. This went on until someone invited them to The Redeemed Christian Church of God. Both of them gave their lives to Christ and the fighting stopped. That night, their neighbours did not sleep because they were waiting for them to fight as usual; however, they were disappointed. The neighbours watched for some more days until one of them summoned the courage to ask the couple why they had not been fighting. They told him that they had met Jesus at a Church; the neighbour said "Really? I must follow you to that Church". Before long, they introduced all their neighbours to Christ.

 

Your testimony is powerful enough to win souls for Christ. The people of the world brag about their witchdoctors, saying things like "There is no problem this Baba cannot solve, he solved this and that problem" and they end up winning their friends over. Your God is greater than any witchdoctor; indeed,

He created all things, including the witchdoctors. ln Jeremiah 32:27, He says:         

*"•••I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?*

Why then can't you brag about Him too and use your testimonies to win souls for Him? Why not tell someone going through a difficult time that your God can solve that problem? Don't keep quiet about the things God has done for you; use them to win souls to His kingdom.


Action Point:

Make sure you share a testimony of something God did for you recently with an unbeliever today.

 

HYMN 17:

Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Day I Will Never Forget

After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away

Jesus My Saviour I Met

Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend

He Met The Need Of My Heart

Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling

He Made All The Darkness Depart


Chorus:

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

When At The Cross The Savior Made Me Whole

My Sins Were Washed Away

And My Night Was Turned To Day

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul


Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above

Into God’s Fam’ly Divine

Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love

Oh What A Standing Is Mine

And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made

When As A Sinner I Came

Took Of The Offer Of Grace

He Did Proffer He Saved Me

Oh Praise His Dear Name


Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure

After The Passing Of Time

I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure

There In Those Mansions Sublime

And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day

When At The Cross I Believed

Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal

From His Precious Hand I Received


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 

Genesis 46-48
