Open Heaven 20 July 2022 TOPIC: The Dangerous Mixture

Memorise: And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2 Corinthians 6:15

Bible Reading: Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

BIBLE IN YEAR: Psalms 132:1-18, Psalms 133:1-3, Psalms 134:1-3, Psalms 135:1-21

Open Heaven 20 July 2022 Message

Many years ago, I travelled for a ministration. After I was done ministering, I got in my car but it refused to start. I called a mechanic to look at it and he discovered that the petrol I had bought into the car was mixed with water, hence he had to empty the tank and get rid of every particle of water in it then put pure petrol in it before I could move.

While I was waiting for him to finish working on the car, a message hit me. The car could not move on a mixture of petrol and water, so also, many people don’t move forward in life because they are mixing light with darkness in their lives. Indeed,

 

what fellowship has light with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14)? If you want God to multiply your finances, don’t mix stolen funds with your legitimate earnings.

 

Once you start stealing money, forget about God’s blessings. One day, a governor came to me for prayers towards his contest for a second term in office. God said to me that he would win and I told him. However, the elections came and he lost. It was absolutely clear that the election was rigged.

 

I went back to God and said, Lord, but you are the One who said this man would win; what happened? God told me to send for him and ask him what happened, because after he left the Redemption Camp, he went to have meetings with witches and people of the occult.

 

God said He had already decided that he would win the election, but when he went to meet occultic people, He changed His mind. It still surprises me that as much as we have said that God hates sin, many people don’t understand it.

 

You cannot continue to sin and expect God’s grace to abound! God forbid! (Romans 6:1-2) If you want God to be involved in your life, stay away from anything He hates. Don’t lift up holy hands in Church and then use those same hands to fornicate.

 

Don’t praise God with your mouth and then use the same mouth to tell lies. You are inviting God’s wrath that way. If you want to serve the devil, serve him wholeheartedly rather than to try and serve God and the devil at the same time.

 

If you want to serve God, you will have to hearken diligently to His word, and in return, He will give you abundant life. Don’t mix the two.

Open Heaven 20 July 2022 KEY POINT:

You cannot continue in sin and expect God’s grace to abound in your life. God forbids it!

Open Heaven 20 July 2022 HYMN: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

1. O worship the King,

All glorious above,

O gratefully sing

His power and His love;

Our Shield and Defender,

The Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendour,

And girded with praise.

 

2. O tell of His might,

O sing of His grace,

Whose robe is the light,

Whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath

The deep thunder-clouds form,

And dark is His path

On the wings of the storm.

 

3. Thy bountiful care,

What tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air,

It shines in the light,

It streams from the hills,

It descends to the plain,

And sweetly distils

In the dew and the rain.

 

4. Frail children of dust,

And feeble as frail;

In Thee do we trust,

Nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies, how tender,

How firm to the end,

Our maker, Defender,

Redeemer, and Friend!

 

5. O measureless Might!

Ineffable Love!

While angels delight

To hymn Thee above,

The humbler creation,

Though feeble their lays,

With true adoration,

Shall lisp to Thy praise.
