OPEN HEAVEN 29 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Walking with God requires living holy because He is holy. Amos 3:3 says Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” “Genesis 17:1”

Our Bible reading for today shows us some fundamental requirements for an acceptable walk with God. The first is clean hands. If your hands are defiled you cannot walk with God.

What is it that defiles a person’s hands? Blood money is one. Money belonging to another person or organisation that you took unlawfully is another.

Also, your hands could be defiled through an illicit premarital or extramarital association. Proverbs 6:27-29 says: “Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, And his feet not be burned? So he that goeth into his neighbours’ wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.”

Only a person with a pure heart can effectively and acceptably walk with God.

Jeremiah 17:9 says: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Romans 3:23 says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. At the same time 1 John 1:7-9 says if we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

May the Lord deliver you from anything that works against your walk with Him, in Jesus name. The act of walking with God is not a call to relate with Him as His equal, but one of total submission to His authority and an absolute commitment to follow Jesus.

This was made clear in Luke 9:23 and Philippians 2:12. Determination to serve God in holiness, righteousness, spirit and truth create the right foundation for walking with the Lord.

Holiness requires dogged determination. Ask yourself in every situation What would Jesus do? Make up your mind to be holy, and the Lord will help you.

Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy;

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.

Beloved! We are in perilous time when kidnappings, banditry and other vices have become daily occurrences. But the Lord is saying, fear not, be bold & be courageous!

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you shall not be a victim to whatever calamity flying around by day and by night, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Shalom!
