Open Heaven [5 October 2018] Rebuke is essential

REBUKE IS ESSENTIAL - Friday October 5th 2018
MEMORIZE: preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Timothy 4:2
Read: Galatians 2:11-17
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Message:-
Preaching is the act of proclaiming the good news in the word of God. It generally involves the delivery of some truth related to God to an audience for whom the message is prepared.

 To reach therefore, is to declare a word from or to publicly present the good news. Preaching is expressed through proclamation, prophecy, declaration or teaching. It includes the proclamation of the way of salvation to unbelievers, and the delivery of instructions on faith and spiritual worship to believers. In 2 Timothy 4:2, the Holy Spirit indicates that rebuke is an integral part of preaching the good news.
To rebuke or reprove is to make a verbal expression of blame that is usually not easy for an individual to accept or accommodate. However, it is an essential part of the gospel. For this reason, the Holy Spirit said in Proverbs 27:5;
”Open rebuke is better than secret love.”
The word of God gives examples of both divine and human rebuke. Sometimes, God issues rebukes directly, but more often than not, He does so through His servants. Jesus Christ taught His disciples the perfect way to issue rebukes, and He taught His audience how to handle people who commit errors, without condemning them.


Open Heaven 5 October 2018: [Friday] Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Rebuke is essential

 God has the absolute right to rebuke His children who stray from the path of righteousness. He does this sometimes by speaking directly to such people through dreams and revelations, but at other times, He chooses to speak through His ministers. For instance, God used Prophet Samuel to rebuke King Saul in 1 Samuel 15:1226, He used Prophet Nathan to rebuke King David in 2 Samuel 12:1-12, and Prophet Elijah rebuked Kin Ahab in 1 Kings 18:18. Furthermore, Jesus Christ led Peter, one of His disciples, in Mark 8:33, and He also rebuked demons and their master the devil. Matthew 1 7:1 8 says:
”And Jesus rebuked the devil; and be departed out of him: and the child was cured from that every hour”

Heavens Devotional 2018

In today’s Bible reading, when Apostle Peter and some other Jewish brethren like Barnabas engaged in discrimination and pretence, Paul rebuked them sharply. We should not shy away from rebuke because when comes from the Spirit, it convicts those who hear it. As children of God, we ought to sharply rebuke and correct visible faults on issues relating to discipline, dressing, punctuality and commitment to duties, interpersonal relationships, sanitation, and our general attitude to worship.
Prayer Point: Father, please don’t rebuke me in your wrath, and give me a heart that is yielded to correction in Jesus’ name.
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, one of the largest evangelical Churches in the world and also the President of Christ the Redeemer's Ministries.
Sing Hymn 2.
I NEED THEE EVERY
HOUR
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.


Chorus
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee


I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.


I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.


I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.


I need Thee every hour
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine Indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
