TOPIC: Loose
and Bring Them!
MEMORISE: And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal
the sick. – Luke
9:2
READ: Matthew 21:1-9 (KJV)
1. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2. Saying unto them, Go into the village over
against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her;
loose them, and bring them unto me.
3. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall
say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4. All this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy
King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
ass.
6. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus
commanded them,
7. And brought the ass, and the colt, and put
on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8. And a very great multitude spread their
garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them
in the way.
9. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 1-5
Open Heaven 23 October 2021 MESSAGE:
Today’s Bible reading is very significant to
all Christians, especially soul-winners. Soul-winners are expected to loose
their converts from the bondage of Satan and sin.

Wealth
Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18: “And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall; not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover”
We are not supposed to dialogue with the devil
and his cohorts; all we need is to exercise our God-given authority. Our Lord
Jesus said “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” Luke 10:19. As soul-winners, we must
endeavour to go after entire households and bring them to Christ. The disciples
decorated both the ass and its colt for the use of the Master Matthew 21:7. Before our converts can
be useful for the Master, we must work on them by the preaching of the word.
Open Heaven 23 October 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
The Bible says "Preach the word; be instant in season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine" 2 Timothy 4:2. Another lesson to learn from today's Bible reading is that we must glorify God through His beloved Son. God has given Jesus Christ a name that is above every other Philippians 2:9-10.
This is why the multitudes were singing: … Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. – Matthew 21:9
Our Lord Himself said “…I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6.
He said further “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if
any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.” Revelation
3:20.
Finally, both the ass and its
colt enjoyed the honour accorded their rider Jesus Christ. When we allow
ourselves to be used of the Lord Jesus, His honour will rub off on us, to the
glory of His name. Purify yourself for the Master’s use today and you will be
well rewarded for it.

October 2021 HYMN 29: WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?
1. What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
REFRAIN:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2. For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
3. Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
4. This is all my hope and peace.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
This is all my righteousness;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
