Heaven 13 December 2021 TOPIC: Let Him
Take Your Burden
MEMORISE The soul that
sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,
neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezekiel 18:20
READ: Ezekiel 18:1-4 (KJV)
1. The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
2. What mean ye, that ye use this proverb
concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and
the children’s teeth are set on edge?
3. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have
occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 43:1-27, Ezekiel 44:1-31,
Ezekiel 45:1-25, Ezekiel 46:1-24, Ezekiel 47:1-23, Ezekiel 48:1-35
Open Heaven 13 December 2021 MESSAGE:
The righteousness of God demands that the soul that commits
sin would die as we see in our memory verse today. John 10:10 however gives us an alternative to sin and death: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

December 2021 – Comply With the Word
When
we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, He saves us from the life of
sin, and ultimately eternal death, blessing us with abundant life instead.
Another
truth I want to share with us is that the righteousness of God does not allow
an offender to be punished twice for one offence.
Since
Jesus Christ our Redeemer has suffered for our sins, we are discharged and
acquitted. As long as you do not commit that sin again, once Jesus has forgiven
you, your forgiveness is absolute.
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him striken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he
was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” “Isaiah
53:4-5”
Open Heaven 13 December 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
Beloved,
I am using this medium to appeal to you to come to Jesus Christ today and He
will relieve you of your burden of sin. As a matter of fact, the cross He
carried before His crucifixion was for you and me.
All
you need to do is confess your sins and accept Jesus as your Saviour and Lord.
The Bible says if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and there is no
truth in us (1 John 1:8).
We
deny ourselves the privilege of the great Burden-Bearer if we refuse to come to
Him and make Him the Lord of our lives. He must be your Lord and Saviour.
I
pray that the Almighty God will relieve you of every burden of sin and sorrow,
in Jesus name.
Open Heaven 13 December 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father, I bring my burden to You today in genuine repentance. Please forgive me and lift my burden today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 13 December 2021 HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
1. What a Friend we have
in Jesus,
All our sins
and griefs to bear!
What a
privilege to carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
Oh, what
peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what
needless pain we bear-
All because
we do not carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and
temptations?
Is there
trouble anywhere?
We should
never be discouraged,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a
Friend so faithful
Who will all
our sorrows share?
Jesus knows
our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy
laden,
Cumbered with
a load of care?
Precious
Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
Do thy
friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
In His arms
He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt
find a solace there.
