OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY, 11TH FEBRUARY, 2017
Memorise: And I will make them and the places round
about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in
his season; there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26
Read: Joel 2:21-27 (KJV)
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Bible in one year: John 7-8, Isaiah 36:4-20
MESSAGE
When God created the world, He put some natural principles in place
which can guarantee a measure of blessing. However, no blessing can
stand the test of time apart from those made accessible by the Almighty
God. The psalmist understood this truth, and hence he declared that only
the Ultimate Shepherd can take you to green pastures (Psalm 23:2). Only
the blessings of the Almighty God can give you the kind of peace that
knows no trouble. When God pours His showers of blessings upon your
life, the door of blessings will forever remain opened to you. The
shower of blessings from the Lord is the starting point of a life of
tremendous progress. You will suddenly realise that what others are
finding difficult to achieve becomes very easy for you. You will also
discover that what others are complain about becomes what you rejoice
over. The wind of the Holy Spirit is the source of God’s blessings. On
the day of Pentecost, when the wind of the Holy Spirit blew, the church
suddenly grew by 3000 members (Acts 2:1-41). When the Lord decides to
pour His blessings in your direction: the debtor of yesterday becomes a
lender to nations today, the negative medical report of yesterday
becomes the testimony of today, and the sack letter of yesterday becomes
the promotion letter of today. A while ago, one of my sons was sacked
from his place of work without any reason. As he worshipped with us at
our monthly Holy Ghost Service, there was a word of knowledge sent from
God saying that someone was going through some trouble but that those
responsible for this trouble would die. The following week, word came to
him that is father had passed on. On the actual day of his father’s
burial, he received a letter from the organization that sacked him,
asking him to return, and that he had been promoted. When the showers of
blessings come upon your life, whatever the enemies have concluded
concerning you becomes invalid by the powers of the spoken word from
God. I speak to the life of someone reading this devotional that your
time of weeping has come to an end in Jesus’ Name.
Those who truly love God are always carriers of His blessings. Do
everything possible to stay in God. Stick with Him all of your days. Let
Him continue to direct you to where your life can remain flesh. Let His
word fill your heart in every situation. Never let go of God, and you
will practically see Him taking you out the shallow waters into the
showers of blessings.
Are you experiencing dryness in your spiritual life, finances,
marriage, career, business or ministry? God’s showers of blessing will
begin to flow in your direction in Jesus’ Name.
