Open Heaven 21 January 2022 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye
TOPIC: Let There Be Light V
MEMORISE: O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: – Isaiah 48:18
READ: Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 12-14
MESSAGE:
“Let there be light” could mean “let there be peace”. There is, however, a link between having the peace of God and obedience to His commandments, as we see in our memory verse today.
One of the commandments which some people may not recognize is in Matthew 11:29 where Jesus Christ commands that we should learn of Him so that we may find rest (peace) for our souls. This is very important because Romans 10:17 also says “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Also, there are categories of peace. We have regular peace (Isaiah 45:7), Great peace (Psalm 119:165), All-round peace (1 Kings 4:24) and Peace like a river (Isaiah 48:18).
A question that then comes to mind is, “who gives peace, at whatever level?”. The answer is simple: God is the Giver of peace. He gives peace through His Son Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), this is why Apostle Paul prayed for the Church, saying “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7). The preceding verse says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” In other words, before you can have the peace of God, you must learn to trust Him, and you cannot trust the One you do not know or accept as your all in all. In addition, you cannot talk of praising and honouring Him as you should.
On this note, I encourage you to seek the Father of lights (James 1:17) and I am confident that you will find Him as promised in Proverbs 8:17.
Do you want the Peace of God to reign in your life? Come to the Father of lights today through His Son Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace. Confess your sins and if you have done before, decide to live a sinless life from now. May the Light of God that brings peace beam over you and all that concerns you, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT:
Meditate on 2 Corinthian 6:14-18; step out of everything that represents darkness and come to Jesus Christ – the Light, today.
HYMN 1: All To Jesus I Surrender
- All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Refrain:
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, My blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.
- All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy Love and Power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name! - All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
RCCG FASTING AND PRAYER GUIDE FOR YEAR 2022 (50 DAYS)
DAY 11: FRIDAY 21ST OF JANUARY, 2022
TOPIC: PRAYER FOR THE FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY (CHURCH)
BIBLE TEXT: EZEKIEL 12:22-28
Prophecy is a prediction of what will happen in the future, it is an inspired utterance from a prophet. Daddy G.O. in his prophesies for the Church said; “All I have is good news”. This should encourage us to pray until we see the manifestations.
