MEMORISE: "My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, It also is gone from me". Psalm 38:10

READ: Psalm 39:4-7 (KJV)

4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.


5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.


6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.


7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Amos 1-4

Open Heaven For Today 17 September 2024 MESSAGE:

In today's Bible reading text, David asked God to make him know how frail he really was. This was a man who witnessed how his highly-exalted king, King Saul, suddenly started acting like a mad man on several occasions and needed music from the harp to calm him down (1 Samuel 16:23). 


This was a man who used an ordinary stone to bring down a giant that had terrorized his country for 40 days and nights (1 Samuel 17). As humans, we have the tendency to believe that we are strong and that we are in control, whereas, God is the One that upholds us (Isaiah 41:8-10).

In Daniel 4:30, Nebuchadnezzar was boasting of his really great achievements, but within that same hour, he was on all four, eating grass with the beasts of the field (Daniel 4:31-33). He was indeed a great king, but God humbled him in an instant. 


No matter how great and powerful a fellow is, God can humble him or her in the twinkling of an eye. King Herod thought that he was powerful and could capture and kill whoever he wanted to (Mark 6:16-17), but right in front of his people , he was eaten up by ordinary maggots (Arts 12:23). 


When God wants to show that He is in control, He can use ants to bring down an elephant. This is why you will always see me being humble. kneeling to worship God in public, and surrendering my all to Him. I know what I am doing because I know that without Him, I am nothing. I know that no matter how powerful people think I am, God can break me like a toothpick if I offend Him. 


Beloved, always live conscious of your family in God's hands don't ever think you are in control. Keep it at the back of your mind at all times that God is in control. The producers of a popular television show in Nigeria would always say that we are nothing but pencils in the hand of the Creator. 


If you think you are better than everyone else, know that you are just a pencil in God's hands, and He can do with you as He pleases. Like David, ask God to always remind you of how frail you are in His hands.

consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Take my moments and my days;

at the impulse of thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

always, only, for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

filled with messages from thee,

not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

every power as thou shalt choose,

every power as thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will and make it thine;

it shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart it is thine own;

it shall be thy royal throne,

it shall be thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

at thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself, and I will be

ever, only, all for thee,

ever, only, all for thee.
