shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh
righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor
doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

November 2021 – We Owe God Gratitude
When
funds are being raised for the work of God, careless children of God make very
big vows in faith, that they are not able to fulfil. They justify themselves by
saying God understands!.
Ecclesiastes
5:5-6 says: “Better is it that thou shouldest not vow,
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy
flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error;
wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine
hands?”
One
of the most sensitive and delicate vows is that of the marriage covenant.
People no longer accept the fact that marriage vows remain valid until death
separates both the husband and the wife. They give all sorts of excuses for
divorcing their spouses.
One
of my children normally asks such people when you were saying for better for
worse, did you put a limit to the extent of the worse you were talking about?
Whoever decides to end a marriage is a covenant-breaker and has failed to
fulfil the wedding vow!.

This
is why some of Jesus disciples exclaimed, after He had explained the sanctity
of the marriage vow to them ..If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is
not good to marry (Matthew 19:10). Jesus replied ..All men cannot
receive this saying, save they to whom it is given… He that is able to receive
it, let him receive it (Matthew 19:11-12).
Beloved,
do not be a covenant-breaker, because no such person will enter into the
Kingdom of God.
Have
you made any vow before the Almighty God that you have broken? Repent now, seek
His forgiveness and see to it that you take the necessary steps towards
amending your ways and fulfilling such vows.
The
Bible says: “But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.” “Ezekiel 33:19” Beloved,
fulfil your vows.
Open Heaven 10 November 2021 KEY POINT:
Think of all the unfulfilled vows you have made and make
amends without further delay.

Heaven 10 November 2021 HYMN: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY THE KING OF
CREATION!
1. Praise to
the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul,
praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
Come, all who
hear; now to his temple draw near,
join me in
glad adoration.
2. Praise to
the Lord, above all things so wondrously reigning;
sheltering
you under his wings, and so gently sustaining!
Have you not
seen all that is needful has been
sent by his
gracious ordaining?
3. Praise to
the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;
surely his
goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
Ponder anew
what the Almighty can do,
if with his
love he befriends you.
4. Praise to
the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has
life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the Amen
sound from his people again; gladly forever adore him.
