OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: FRIDAY , DECEMBER 2ND 2016–FOR HIS OWN PLEASURE

Memorise: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Revelation 4:11
Read: 1st Peter 2:9-11 (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Bible in one year: Exodus 12:43-14:31, Psalms 114.

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

1. Bible records shows that God is not passive about His creation; He is dynamically involved in everything that happens in the universe. His interest and involvement can be seen in the history of Israel and in the ministry of Jesus Christ
2. For those believers who obtained their spouses from God, if asked to make that choice personally, they most likely would have chosen someone else and would have missed God’s divine direction.
3. Has the Lord chosen for you on any matter? Appreciate Him for His choice and go with that choice.
4. God is very much in the business of directing human affairs, and your choice in any matter can never produce a better result than His.
5. Whenever God chooses somebody for an assignment, it does not necessarily mean the fellow is the most qualified. In fact, usually, God chooses the least qualified so that flesh will not rob Him of His glory.
6. Because the Lord has chosen you to be an heir to His heritage, He will cause all things to work in your favour to the fulfillment of your destiny in Jesus’ name.

SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
The greatest and best thing any believer should earnestly desire in life is the grace to work in the purpose of God. God has enormous plan for us, however, the ability to identify the purpose of God for one’s life is important. When any individual works outside the purpose of God, it automatically leads to frustration and strive. Like the saying that if any man work outside the grace of God, everything becomes race and struggle for such individual. May the almighty God give us the grace to live according to His purpose. Blessed be God for our father in the Lord Pastor E. A Adeboye for the great insight in today’s devotional. May he continually increase in strength and grace in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please let Your mercy and favour locate me today in Jesus’ name.

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love and purity.

All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
