TOPIC FOR TODAY: 24-8-21: When you need a revival

By Pastor E. A Adeboye, President, Christ the Redeemer’s Ministries.

 

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2021 MEMORIZE: For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2021 BIBLE READING PSALMS 51:1-12


1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew aright spirit within me.

11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Good Morning Beloved, have a blessed Tuesday,

DAILY PERSONAL CONFESSION: The mercy of God is daily at work in me, giving me peace during situations in life. I do not live in Unforgiveness; the truth of Christ has set me free. I am victorious above flesh and desires of darkness. My life is a living tabernacle for God. I am a living testimony in all aspects of life. No loss can encompass my destiny in Jesus’ name, Amen.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2021 MESSAGE

Many people are in need of revival, yet have not been able to access it because of pride.

The need for revival which brings about spiritual restoration comes on the heels of spiritual decay.

A lot of things could be responsible for spiritual decay. One of them is disobedience.

The Bible says that when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they lost their fellowship with Him.

Before the fall, the Bible says the man and his wife were naked, but not ashamed (Genesis 2:25 ).

After the fall, however, the Bible says that their eyes were opened enlightened (Genesis 3:7-8 ), and they became ashamed.

There are many lessons we can learn from the above-cited Scripture.

One, spiritual decay leads to the exposure of nakedness and shame. Shame is the opposite of glory.

Spiritual decay is the cause of all kinds of sin; it is what accounts for many women dressing in revealing clothes, as they strive to attract men, luring them into sexual immorality.

In the same vein, many men engage in sexual immorality both before and even in the course of their marriages.

You will never behave in such a way when the glory of God is upon you.

Indeed, the Bible says: “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” “Proverbs 16:31”

When someone loses his or her spirituality, the voice of the Lord becomes fearsome to the fellow. He or she becomes resistant to the word of the Lord.

At the end of the day, such people run from their Bible-believing Churches to so-called churches where deceit is the order of the day. Such people need spiritual restoration.

The problem with such people, however, is their pride which will not allow them to follow Davids’s example in his response to the message from God through prophet Nathan in 2 Samuel 12:1-13.

David acknowledged his sins and God forgave and restored him. The product of this story is found in the text of today which reads in part:

“Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” “Psalm 51:11-12”

Beloved, are you spiritually cold? Have you lost some of the spiritual gifts that make you radiate the glory of the Lord?.

All you need is to call on Jesus Christ with every sense of humility. He will restore you speedily.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2021 PRAYER POINT: PRAYER POINTS FOR OPEN HEAVENS 24 AUGUST 2021

Father, please forgive me of the sins that have taken away the joy of my salvation. Restore to me Your Spirit of liberty, in the mighty name of Jesus.

SPECIAL NOTE!
Beloved Reader, the best way to enjoy best of God is to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord & Saviour.  And remember! John 3:3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye are born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of God.”

If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Lord Jesus come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.

Beware! This Scripture: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold,” Matt 24:12, is being fulfilled in our time. Our prayer is: any power or any problem that will kill our love for God, blood of Jesus will destroy and flush them away from us, in Jesus name.

Good Day, we cherish your presence here. Thank you for your comments, observations, feedbacks and time spent on this platform.

Shalom!
