Open Heaven 30 December 2022 TOPIC: Never Provoke God
Memorise It is a fearful thing to
fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews
10:31
READ: 2 Chronicles 36:15-16 (KJV)
15. And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers,
rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on
his dwelling place:
16. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: REVELATION 15:1-8,
REVELATION 16:1-21, REVELATION 17:1-18, REVELATION 18:1-24
Open Heaven 30 December 2022 MESSAGE:
The greatest mistake anyone can ever make in life is to provoke the
Almighty God. 1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love. He is not just a loving
God, He is love personified, but Hebrews 12:29 also
says He is a consuming fire.

– Sacrificial Giving
Every coin has two sides. On one side of God, you have love – love so great
that He gave His only begotten Son for our sake. On the other side, however, He
is a consuming fire. Thus when you hear of people who talk about God as love
only, about grace 100% of the time and nothing more, stay away from them.
God is indeed kind, merciful, and loving, but don’t mess with Him because
He is a consuming fire. If He loves you specially and you fool around with Him,
He will deal with you. The word of God made it clear in Hebrews 12:6
“For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.”
You would think the Bible would say that whosoever the Father loves, He
kisses, but that is not what it says. If you know that what you are doing is
wrong and have been corrected severally yet you refuse to yield, then you are
very likely provoking Him to anger already.
You had better stop doing that thing you know He does not like. Proverbs 29:1 says: “He, that being often reproved hardeneth
his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”
Nobody can tell me that because God loves you, you can go ahead and do
whatever you like. If you can do whatever you like, it is likely that He has
forsaken you, because the Bible made it clear in Hebrews 12:8
“But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.”
For those who say, Pastor Adeboye is legalistic, he is always talking law,
I didn’t write the Bible. It is stated there clearly in both the Old and New
Testaments that if you are doing wrong and God is not punishing you for it,
then you are a bastard, and bastards will not be admitted into the kingdom of
heaven (Matthew 7:21-23).
Open Heavens 30 December 2022 Key Point
Do everything possible to ensure that you never ever provoke God.
Open Heaven 30 December 2022 HYMN 25: To God Be The Glory, Grate Things He Hath Done
1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
