of Ungodly Prosperity
MEMORISE: Fret not thyself
because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. Psalms 37:1
READ: Psalms 37:1-9 (KJV)
1. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither
be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
3. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou
dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall
give thee the desires of thine heart.
5. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.
6. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as
the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not
thyself in any wise to do evil.
9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Open Heaven 29 November 2021 MESSAGE:
It is common for unbelievers to flaunt their prosperity.
However, as we see in today’s memory verse, God does not want His children to
be carried away by the success of unbelievers.

November 2021 – Who is Your Real Enemy?
Today’s
Scripture reading contains many attractive things that unbelievers seemingly
enjoy, so much so that unless a child of God is well-grounded in the Scripture,
the fellow may think that he or she is missing out on something by being godly.
Beloved,
deciding to maintain a godly lifestyle is the best decision you can ever make.
God is taking account of your watchfulness in doing His will and He will soon
make it known to the wicked world that you are right and they are wrong.
The
Psalmist describes the end of the wicked in Psalms 73:16-18 “When
I thought to know this, it was painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary
of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery
places: thou castedst them down into destruction”
You
do not have to be corrupt simply because the world claims that everyone is. The
truth is that, like God did in the time of Elijah (1 Kings 19:14, 1
Kings 19:18), He has also reserved an unimaginable number of His
children who have made up their minds to follow the Master to the end, even
today.
The
story is told of two Christian soldiers who stormed a meeting place of
Christians during the reign of terror in the Soviet Union. These soldiers
threatened to kill whoever confessed Jesus as their Lord, and promised to set
free those who might want to change their minds.
Unfortunately,
many of those Christians denied Christ. It was while the freed worshippers were
leaving that the soldiers revealed their true identities and intent to show
hypocritical Christians among the flock.
Today,
ungodliness is in vogue because it seems to pay off. However, this is not true,
especially when you consider the end of people who live as such.
Beloved,
let us keep on the firing line of holiness because Matthew 10:22 says
whosoever endures to the end shall experience the ultimate salvation. May you
indeed endure to the end and receive your crown of righteousness (2 Timothy
4:8), in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open
Heaven 29 November 2021 KEY POINT:
Father, please help me to keep on holding fast to
the word of salvation and to live thereby, to the end.
Open Heaven 29 November 2021 HYMN: JESUS MY LORD MY GOD MY ALL
1. Jesus, my
Lord, my God, my all,
hear me,
blest Savior, when I call;
hear me, and
from thy dwelling place
pour down the
riches of thy grace.
CHORUS
Refrain:
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me
love thee more and more.
2. Jesus, too
late I thee have sought;
how can I
love thee as I ought?
And how extol
thy matchless fame,
the glorious
beauty of thy name?
3. Jesus,
what didst thou find in me
that thou
hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the
joy that thou hast brought,
so far
exceeding hope or thought!
4. Jesus, of
thee shall be my song;
to thee my
heart and soul belong;
all that I
have or am is thine,
and thou,
blest Savior, thou art mine.
