Heaven 17 November 2021 TOPIC: Don’t Aid
And Abet Sin
MEMORISE: Lay hands
suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself. Pure. 1st Timothy 5:22
READ: 2nd Chronicles 18:28-34 (KJV)
28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king
of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I
will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes.
So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the
captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or
great, save only with the king of Israel.
31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore
they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD
helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32. For it came to pass, that, when the captains of
the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back
again from pursuing him.
33. And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and
smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said
to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host;
for I am wounded.
34. And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.

Open Heaven 17 November 2021 MESSAGE:
Many Christians today are partaking in other people’s sins
knowingly or unknowingly. It is unfortunate that those who indulge themselves
in aiding and abetting sinful lifestyles fail to realise that, not only are
they partaking in such sins along with the sinners, they would also be
partakers of the punishment.

November 2021 – Equipped to Serve
When
you serve alcohol to your guests, you are not only encouraging the sinful act,
you are also as guilty as the drinkers! Trading in alcohol as a child of God is
even worse.
Habakkuk
2:15 says:
“Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to
him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!”
In
our Bible text today, we read about how Jehoshaphat – the King of Judah,
partook in the sin of his friend – the King of Israel and was almost killed.
But for divine intervention, Jehoshaphat would have died in the battle that was
not his.
Open Heaven 17 November 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
The
Bible says: “As the mountains are roundabout Jerusalem, so the Lord is
round about his people from henceforth even forever. For the rod of the wicked
shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth
their hands unto iniquity.” “Psalm 125:2-3”
We
as children of God must cease being partakers of the sins of unbelievers, so
that we will not suffer their punishment with them. Do not enter into a
business partnership with people who do not share the same values with you.
Partnering
with someone who does not believe in tithing or someone who does not have a
problem with cutting corners will only get you into trouble down the road.
Are
you aiding and abetting sin in anyway? Repent today and prayerfully share what
the word of God says about such sins with the concerned persons. I join my
faith with yours and declare that as you obey, God will save such persons and
hold you blameless, in Jesus name.
Open Heaven 17 November 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Examine your life carefully and repent from all actions and
inactions that encourage other people to commit sin.
