HEAVEN 14 AUGUST 2021 TOPIC: You Don’t Need to
Struggle!
MEMORISE:
The blessing
of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22
READ: Deuteronomy 8:10-18 (KJV)
10 When thou hast eaten and
art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy
God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Beware that thou forget
not the Lord thy God, in
not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I
command thee this day:
12 Lest when thou hast
eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And when thy herds and
thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that
thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be
lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy
God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage;
15 Who led thee through
that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions,
and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the
rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the
wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee,
and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine
heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 99:1-9, Psalms 100:1-5, Psalms 101:1-8
Open Heaven 14 August 2021 MESSAGE:
Many people think they cannot prosper in life
unless they struggle. We must know that there is a difference between
struggling and working. Work is a divine vocation which started with Adam. The
Bible says:
Also Read: OPEN HEAVEN 13 AUGUST 2021 – SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT
“And the lord God took
the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” Genesis 2:15
The truth however, is that you do not need to
struggle before you prosper. It is true that you should be diligent because the
Bible says the soul of the diligent shall be made fat Proverbs 13:4. In the
Bible reading of today we discover some truths about the mind of God concerning
the prosperity of His people
“But thou shalt
remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,that
he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this
day.” Deuteronomy 8:18
Open Heaven 14 August 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
It is unfortunate that many people of God do not know that God gives power and opportunities to His children to get wealth, for one major reason: that He may prove Himself faithful to His word according to Exodus 3:17:
“And I have said, I will bring you up out of
the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and
the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey.”
Milk and honey here symbolize prosperity.
Beloved, I have good news for you: God is interested in the prosperity of His
people. Prosperity from God is without sorrow. The Lord who prospers is the
same Lord who protects. He will not give you a car that will become a death
trap. He will not give you a child that will break your heart. This suggests to
us that there could be counterfeit prosperity. The devil is the giver of that
kind of prosperity. However, Jesus is the true source of prosperity and eternal
blessings. He paid the price in full, hence, you can never regret being
prospered by His benevolence. The Bible says:
“For ye know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, that ye though his poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9
Open Heaven 14 August 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father,
please don’t let me have to struggle before succeeding, in the mighty name of
Jesus.
Open Heaven 14 August 2021 Hymns – There shall be showers of
blessing
1. There shall be showers
of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
CHORUS
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops ’round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
1. There shall be showers
of blessing–
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
2. There shall be showers
of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honor Thy Word.
3. There shall be showers
of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
