Heaven 15 September 2021 Topic: God’s Order is
Social Order!
MEMORISE: 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
READ: Deuteronomy 18:9-13 (KJV)
9 When thou art
come into the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
nations.
10 There shall not
be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through
the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter,
or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or
a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do
these things are an abomination unto the Lord:
and because of these abominations the Lord thy
God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: Luke 17:1-37, Luke 18:1-43
Open Heaven 15 September 2021 MESSAGE:
The Almighty
God is the greatest conservationist of all. Right from Genesis we read how God
commanded Adam to make sure the beautiful garden He had given him did not
suffer decay or any pollution, as we see in our memory verse today. There are
many ways one can pollute the land or any God-given gift. The land can be
polluted by sin of all sorts, particularly idolatry and human sacrifice. In
today’s memory verse we are confronted with the seriousness God attaches to the
preservation of His creation. In our Bible reading today, God outlines what His
chosen people must avoid so that the land that was destined to flow with milk
and honey might remain blessed perpetually. It reads in part:

“When thou art come into the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the
abominations of those nations.” Deuteronomy
18:9
Idolatry is the
most grievous sin against God, according to Exodus 20:3. When Adam decided to obey the devil rather than the
Lord, he chose another god for himself. Many people think idolatry is when they
put an image on the ground and begin to worship it. There are idolaters in the
Church – people who choose to obey the devil rather than God. They are always
at Church programmes but never do what God wants them to do. The Bible says:
Open Heaven 15 September 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
“And they come unto thee
as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy
words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but
their heart goeth after their covetousness.” Ezekiel
33:31
By disobeying the word of God, people pollute the land, bringing eternal curses upon themselves and generations after them. This was exactly what the first man did and God cursed the land because of him, according to Genesis 3:17. To keep the land which the Lord has given us to inhabit, we must obey Him and live according to His word. When we do this, our land will be free from evil and it will yield great increase for our pleasure, according to Deuteronomy 28:1-13; I encourage you to give your life to Jesus Christ today and begin to live according to the word of God from now. If you
Open Heaven 15 September 2021 KEY POINT:
If you have polluted the land in
any way, repent and call on God for forgiveness so that the time of refreshing
may come from God upon your life (Acts 3:19).

Heaven 15 September 2021 HYMN: Stand up, stand up
for Jesus
1.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss:
from vict’ry unto vict’ry
his army he shall lead,
’til ev’ry foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day:
ye that are men now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
3.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own:
put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with pray’r;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never wanting there.
4.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song:
to him that overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
he with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.
