Heaven 30 November 2021 TOPIC: It May
Not Be the Devil!
MEMORISE: O lord, rebuke
me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Psalms 38:1
READ: Psalms 38:1-9 (KJV)
1. O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither
chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand
presseth me sore.
3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of
thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as
an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my
foolishness.
6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go
mourning all the day long.
7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome
disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by
reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

Open Heaven 30 November 2021 MESSAGE:
It is disastrous for a Christian not to know the source of
his or her challenges. It is indeed very possible that the challenge you are
going through may not even be from the devil.

It
may be a chastisement coming directly from the Lord. Once you are able to
confirm this, like the Psalmist in today’s Scripture reading, you must humble
yourself in repentance before Jesus.
You
must always look inward anytime you feel that your relationship with God is
strained. That is what the Psalmist always did. Sadly, today, many Christians
always want to exonerate themselves; they are so quick to attribute the
challenges of their lives to the devil.
At
times, I imagine the devil saying You’ve missed it. You are a child of God; I
dare not come near you. How I wish all Christians would be spiritually
sensitive.
You
must know that sin brings the wrath of God upon a sinner, irrespective of the
spiritual standing of the fellow before he or she fell into sin.

TODAY
I
know this because Ezekiel 33:12 says: “..The righteousness
of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression:
…neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day
that he sinneth.”
Thank
God for 1 John 2:1-2 which offers hope to anyone who strays
into sin. It says: “My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for the sins of the world.”
If
you have sinned, you must not be too proud to repent. Likewise, when others
have sinned, it is not your place to say whether they would be forgiven or not.
As a body, we are not to bury wounded soldiers who are still struggling to
survive.
Unfortunately,
that’s what many so-called Christians do; we take away the life support from
dying soldiers and make their journey to hell faster! There is enough room at
the top for all children of God, so there is no need to pull anyone down in
order to rise.
Don’t
become an enemy to yourself. A house divided against itself shall not stand (Matthew
12:25).
Open Heaven 30 November 2021 KEY POINT:
Father, please open my eyes to see the true cause
of every challenge I am facing, in the mighty name of Jesus.

And be washed

There’s a
fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed
in the blood of the Lamb.
