WHAT IS SPIRITUAL ADULTERY?

All Believers are married to Christ. We are to look to Him exclusively for all things, whatever that may be. This means that our Faith is to be in Christ and the Cross and nothing else. Failing that means that our Faith is in something else, and even though the something else may be good in its own right, still, it is not Faith in Christ and the Cross, which means that such a Believer is being unfaithful to Christ, which is “spiritual adultery.” To be sure, such affects the Holy Spirit greatly. While He doesn’t leave us, and thank God for that, still, He is greatly hindered.

Open Heaven of Tuesday 23rd July 2013: Why You Must Abide

Memorise: 
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  James 1:22

Read: Psalms 1:1-3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalms 1:2

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalms 1:3

Bible in one year: Ecclesiastes 7-9


Message
In John 9:6-7, a man who was born blind had contact with the Lord and his eyes were opened in a very dramatic way. If just one contact could do that much, how much more when you abide in Him? When you abide in Christ, He makes everything to become new. 2 Kings 4:8-17 tells of the Shunammite woman who offered Elijah food, and he decided to abide more regularly in the apartment she built for him. Because he was abiding there, this woman who had lost hope of becoming a mother became the mother of a son. When you abide, there is a new beginning. The widow of Zarephath had the servant of God abiding with her and her son and what was supposed to be her last meal became the meal that sustain the trio for over two years of famine. Are you abiding in Christ? If you are today in Christ, tomorrow in sin, you are not abiding in Him. If you are today in church, tomorrow in a shrine, you are not abiding in Him.

Moreover, why do you need to abide in Him? Abiding in Him creates the perfect atmosphere to get the best results from God’s word. Psalm 119:11 says,
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
If you are in a hurry to study God’s word, it will not sink into you, and you will not reach the depth where you can get revelation. You need to read, study, memorise and meditate on the word, so that you can have good success (Joshua 1:8). You cannot continue in sin and expect breakthrough from God because God is a miracle worker and not a magician. Abiding in Him helps you to stay holy. Several years ago, a woman attended an anointing service organised for those who wanted to be fruitful. Like others who came, I laid hands on her and prayed. Much later she was angry that nothing happened even though she fell under that anointing. While I was about to pray for her again, the Lord stopped me, and told me to ask this great woman how many boyfriends she had, beside her husband, and she said six. What some people are seeking is magic not miracle. To prosper and become fruitful or successful through Him, you must be holy.

KEY POINT
Anytime you step out of Christ, you are exposed to the bullets and arrows of the enemy. Stay in Him!

Open Heaven of Monday 22nd July 2013: Strike A Balance

Memorise: When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Proverbs 29:2

Read: Exodus 1:15-21
And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: Exodus 1:15

And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. Exodus 1:16

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. Exodus 1:17

And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? Exodus 1:18

And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Exodus 1:19

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. Exodus 1:20

And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. Exodus 1:21

Bible in one year: Ecclesiastes 4-6


Message
Earlier, God had promised Abraham that through him, the whole world be blessed. Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob and Esau, and Jacob had 12 sons. By the time they got to Egypt, they were 70 in number. Thereafter God began to multiply them over a period of time to such an extent that they became a mighty nation within Egypt. The Egyptians however became afraid of them. After all the Pharaohs that knew about Joseph died, one came who did not know Joseph. This Pharaoh came up with an evil strategy against the children of Israel. We ought to learn a few lessons from these events. We know that changes are bound to occur as one government gives way to another. Some will recognize and represent your interest while some others will not. Yet, irrespective of earthly government in power at any given moment, the divine government of the Most High God remains unchangeable. Since this divine government is the highest level of government, it can impose its will on all earthly governments. Therefore to remain relevant at all times, stay connected with the government of heaven.

I once asked God why He decided to hide so many truths in the book of Exodus, and He replied that the Book of Exodus is the book of the rapture. He said just as the children of Israel went en masse from Egypt so will the saints leave the world someday. Are you prepared for this glorious day? Remember there may be no notice other than a reminder like the one you are having now. Moreover, we also learn how dangerous it is to have power without the fear of God. A man who can order the death of innocent babies is a dangerous fellow, which is why we must pray fervently that from now onwards, anyone without the fear of God will never rule our nations again. Anyone in government who does not care about preserving the lives of those under him or her has failed in governance. When the righteous are in authority, joy should flood that city, state, or community. But if you claim to be righteous and those under you are in sorrow during your dispensation, you are a shame to the body of Christ. How is your life bringing joy to others?

ACTION POINT
Using Psalm 72:7, pray that during your tenor in ministerial or secular affairs, the righteous will flourish and peace shall abound all through your of influence.

GOD HATES IDOLATRY

What is idolatry? Idolatry is having another god (or gods) besides the one true living God of the Bible. Idolatry is anything that you place higher priority in your life than God and His Commandments. There is ONLY one true and living God, i.e., the God of the Bible...
