OPEN HEAVEN 28 MARCH 2021 TOPIC: Rejoice Evermore
MEMORISE: Rejoice evermore. – 1
Thessalonians 5:16
READ: Nehemiah 8:9-10 (KJV)
9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the
scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This
day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people
wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 7-8

Heaven 28 March 2021 MESSAGE:
Discouragement is one major weapon the devil uses to ruin
people’s destinies. A fellow that is discouraged cannot have the strength to
move on. Our memory verse for today says you should rejoice forever because
when you let sadness into your life, it will hinder the achievement of your
goals in life. The joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and you
will need it in order to fulfil destiny.

Elijah was a great man with a great destiny to fulfil. He was
going very strong until the day discouragement set in. He became so discouraged
that he asked God to take his life (1 Kings 19 :4). After he made that request,
God sent an angel to feed him. Then the Bible says:
“And
the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said,
Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee.” – 1 Kings 19:7
The journey had become too tough for Elijah because he had
become discouraged. He had lost his joy. May you never lose your joy in Jesus’
name.
In our Bible reading for today, we see Nehemiah encouraging the
people after he saw them weeping because he knew that without the strength that
comes from the joy of the Lord, they would not be able to build the wall.

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but
a broken spirit drieth the bones.” – Proverbs 17:22
You may have many worries and problems that make it difficult
for you to rejoice, but the Bible says that a broken spirit will dry your
bones. Being worried cannot add a cubit to your stature (Matthew 6:27), neither
can it solve any problem; it can only dry your bones.
A fellow who is always gloomy is merely giving negative energy
to his or her body system and will often fall sick, but a person who rejoices
always will live a long and healthy life.
Choose the joy of the Lord today and receive strength for the
Journey ahead.

HYMN 3: Be Glad In The Lord And Rejoice
1. Be
glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made Him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.
Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice,
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice;
Rejoice, rejoice,
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice.
2. Be
joyful, for He is the Lord
On earth and in Heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His word—
The “Mighty” and “Strong” to redeem.
3.
What though in the conflict for right
Your enemies almost prevail?
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail.
4.
Though darkness surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o’ercast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay,
But trust till the danger is past.
5. Be
glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song;
Let gratefulness give all a voice,
The loud hallelujahs prolong!
Refrain:
