OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: BE COURAGEOUS Monday October 31st 2016

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL by Pastor E.A Adeboye

Memorise: Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6
Read: 2nd Chronicles 32:7-8 (KJV)
7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Bible in one year: Malachi 1-4, Psalms 90:7-17

AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL

1.Courage is a virtue that is not optional for children of God who want to fulfil destiny. Without courage, we can’t even say we are images of Living God.

2. There are many reasons why we cannot afford to be afraid of people. Proverbs 29:25 says: “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.”

3. Anyone who wants to represent God in this world must be courageous, or else, he or she will make a mess of the divine assignment like king Saul did.

4. Another reason we should not be afraid of any man is that God is with us. His name is Emmanuel. He himself said “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). Isaiah 43:2-3 says: “When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.”

5. There are facts that should instil courage into us because faithful is He who has promised; He will fulfil it.

SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Trusting in mam is unrealistic, it’s only God who will promise and not fail. He’s the same yesterday,today and forever.No matter how hard the situation may be, He is capable of delivering us from every challenge of Life.
Prayer Point
Father, give me courage; don’t let me lose my ground of faith to the devil.

HYMN 9

1 My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.
Refrain:
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.
2 Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He’ll never cast me out. [Refrain]
3 My heart is leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Savior’s name,
Salvation through His blood. [Refrain]
4 My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave. [Refrain]
