HEAVEN 25 JULY 2021 TOPIC: Let Your Light So Shine
MEMORISE Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew
5:16
READ: Daniel 6:25-28 (KJV)
25 Then king Darius wrote
unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be
multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree, That in
every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for
he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall
not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and
rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath
delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 75:1-10,
Psalms 76:1-12, Psalms 77:1-20
Open Heaven 25 July 2021 MESSAGE:
God wants His children to shine as stars. From
the Bible reading of today, you would see that Daniel shone and indeed outshone
his colleagues. If you haven’t done so already, you must surrender your life to
God today, shun iniquity totally and begin to love righteousness if you also
want to shine. Psalms 75:6-7 says:

HEAVEN 24 JULY 2021 – WHEN REVIVAL COMES II
“For promotion
cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is
the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”
If you are a
parent, then you have a crucial role to play in the lives of your children so
that they can be stars Proverbs 22:6. You
must give them proper training spiritually, intellectually and morally Deuteronomy 11:19. I
thank God always for my mother; she did a good job of raising me. She
encouraged me to study even when other children were out playing. I am what I
am today by the grace of God and her efforts. Teachers too must be involved –
at school and in the Church. God bless my Mathematics teacher; he made a star
in the subject out of me. He usually challenged the few of us who showed an
interest in the subject, to make a hundred percent in our assignments. One day,
we did and were very happy, hoping that we had finally impressed him. His
reaction however kept us in check. He said Look at you, your mates are now
undergraduates and here you are bragging because you scored a hundred percent
in Ordinary Level Mathematics! He was clearly telling us to strive harder for
excellence. You can also influence your shining through hard work Proverbs 22:29.
Children should not waste their
time playing when there are more profitable things to do. Breakthroughs do not
come to lazy people. Look at Daniel, for example: he was diligent even when he
was a nobody a slave. This young man was eventually enlisted as a minister in
Babylon Daniel 1:1-21. If
you would shine, you must also strive to obtain the blessing of your parents
(both biological and spiritual) by honouring them. My mother would always pray
for me thus When you call on one fellow, two hundred will respond. Today, it is
a reality in my life.Your light will shine, in Jesus name.
Open Heaven 25 July 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help
me to do what I should in order to shine for You from now, in Jesus name.

temptations lose their power
when thou art nigh.
2. I need thee every

and thy rich promises
in me fulfill.
