OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: MONDAY, MAY 15TH 2017- WHEN GOD GIVES LAUGHTER

Memorise: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Matthew 3:9
Read: Psalm 33:8-11
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 23-24, Jeremiah 31:15-30

1. God makes you laugh when He turns His prophecies into decrees.
2. There is a difference between prophecies and decrees. When you hear “Thus says the Lord” that is a prophecy for which you will need to wait to see its fulfilment. In contrast, when God suddenly decides to issue a decree, such as “Let there be light”, you will know that your waiting period is over, as your miracle will manifest immediately. In Genesis 1:3, when God said “Let there be light”, there was no need to vote on it, and neither was there any delay, because He had decreed it.
3. Psalm 33:8-9 says one reason why the whole earth should fear God is that whenever He speaks, it is done. All He has to do is to speak, and the next moment, it is done.
4. By the grace of God, I have witnessed God operate in this dimension.
5. Sometime ago, a couple came to us believing God for the fruit of the womb. I asked them, “What kind of baby do you want” Their response wad simultaneous: the man wanted a boy while his wife wanted a girl. So I said we should better make it twins – a boy and a girl – and  both of them said “Amen”. Exactly nine months after, the man was carrying his baby boy and the wife was carrying her baby girl.
6. This season, God is saying let there be light, healing, fruitfulness, increase, promotion, victory over enemies and fullness of joy in your life, and so shall it be!
7. Moreover, God makes you laugh when He decides to show you His Almightiness.
8. After declaring that Sarah would have a child, she laughed, but denied laughing when He asked her why she laughed (Genesis 18:11-15). Then He asked, “Is any thing too hard for the LORD?”
9. Every man definitely has his limits, and even spirits are limited, but not the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9). Hence, Luke 1:37 says nothing is impossible with our God.
10. He can suspend physical laws and have His way any day. Matthew 3:9 says this God can produce children out of stones!
11. Whatever the specialists have said cannot hinder my God. Where they are limited, He is not. The resources they lack, He has in abundance. What they do not know, is common knowledge to Him. His word is full of power and gives direction to anything He wants done. This is why I know that this season, everything standing in your way to laughter shall give way so that you can laugh.
12. You shall laugh last and your laughter shall be unstoppable!

I shall laugh last and my laughter shall be unstoppable in Jesus name! We are so blessed to have the knowledge of the greatness and power of God such that we are positioned to receive from Him if we believe. I am excited my father is the all sufficient God and when He makes one laugh, it is never seasonal but a permanent laughter. We should therefore pray always that His decree should be released into our lives that we may enter into immediate rest from sorrow and struggle. I pray we will experience laughter over every issue that we desire a change for in Jesus name. We are daily refreshed and blessed as we study the Open Heavens devotional. More grace to our father in the Lord Pastor E.A Adeboye in Jesus name.

Prayer Point
Father, for every couple trusting You for the fruit of the womb in my local assembly, Please give them laughter today!
HYMN
The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav’n,
And wear a crown with Jesus.
All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.
His name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
Oh, how my soul delights to hear
The charming name of Jesus.
