Heaven 27 November 2021 TOPIC: Righteousness
Brings Blessings
MEMORISE: Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:9
READ: Psalms 33:1-5 (KJV)
1. Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise
is comely for the upright.
2. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with
the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a
loud noise.
4. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his
works are done in truth.
5. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Amos 1:1-15, Amos 2:1-16, Amos
3:1-15,
Amos 4:1-13
Open Heaven 27 November 2021 MESSAGE:
There are many things we must consider before Romans 8:28 can become the reality in our lives. We have to first look at today's Scripture reading in conjunction with the memory verse.

November 2021 – The Blessing of Forgiveness
Today’s
Scripture reading reveals that only a certain group of people can rejoice in
the Lord and they are the righteous. In other words, even amidst all the
calamities in this world, the righteous can still experience the goodness of
the Lord.
We
also see that what makes a man righteous is the word of God. Psalms 33:4 says: “For
the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.”
Psalms 119:9 and Psalms 119:115-116 also
corroborate this. Although unrighteousness appears to have become the order of
the day and it appears the wicked are walking around free and rejoicing, you
must not be deceived because their end is destruction.
I
know this because Psalms 73:18-19 says: “Surely
thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into
destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are
utterly consumed with terrors.”
We
see a contrast in fortune for the righteous in today’s memory verse, however.
Here, the blessedness of righteousness is revealed. Those who love to be
upright and hate iniquity are anointed with the oil of gladness.
Open Heaven 27 November 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
In
other words, even when the world is in agony, the righteous are far from
calamities, rejoicing in the goodness of the Lord. A classic example of this is
Noah who was preserved in the ark with members of his immediate family during
the flood (Genesis 7:17).
While
others agonized and drowned, Noah was navigating upon the flood safely with his
family. This is exactly how it would turn out on the last day; the righteous
shall rejoice and the wicked shall be damned.
Even
now, God knows how He keeps His children from danger. Psalms 91:1-16 confirms
this. May the blessedness of the Lord be your portion from today as you live
righteously, even in this perverse world, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 27 November 2021 KEY POINT:
Father, please endow me with the blessedness of the
righteous, even as I live for You, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 27 November 2021 HYMN: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING
1. There
shall be showers of blessing:
This is the
promise of love;
There shall
be season refreshing,
Sent from the
Saviour above.
CHORUS:
Showers of
blessing,
Showers of
blessing we need;
Mercy drops round
us are falling,
But for the
showers we plead.
2. There
shall be showers of blessing:
Precious
reviving again;
Over the
hills and the valleys,
Sound of
abundance of rain.
3. There
shall be showers of blessing;
Send them
upon us, Oh Lord!
Grant to us
now a refreshing;
Come and now
honour Thy Word.
4. 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!
5. There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
