OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL. FRIDAY JULY 31 2015.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : NEHEMIAH 4 : 1 – 6 : 14 AND JOHN 7 : 1 – 24.
MESSAGE
When God says He will do a thing, He is telling you what He has already done in
the realm of the Spirit. It is already a settled matter. If He says He will give
you peace, it means that peace is already released to you. Every good promise
that God has made to you shall become reality shortly in Jesus’ Name. When
Jesus made this promise in Matthew 16 : 18 :
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build
my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
He was simply saying something He had already done. He was telling Peter what
He had already finished, long before Peter was born. Luke 1 : 33 declares that
there is no end to the increase of God’s kingdom. This means that whether the
devil and the world like it or not, the Church will keep marching on. It also
means that even when you do not know how to access the funds you need to
build that local assembly to the glory of God’s Name, God knows. He has already
provided for all the churches that would be built in His Name, even before the
foundation of the world was laid. This is why I know that you will not be
stranded or frustrated over the assignment of enlarging God’s kingdom on
earth. God’s provision for your assignment shall be evident this season in
Jesus’ Name.
Moreover, it is important to note that since God has set out to build His
church, if you cooperate with Him, He can use you to build His kingdom.
Building His church is God’s agenda. God is looking for those who will cooperate
with Him to establish His agenda of building His church. Are you willing to
partner with Him? Long ago, God decided that He would take a general from the
Syrian army and turn him into a worshipper of Jehovah ( 2 Kings 5 : 1 – 19 ). In
today’s setting, it is like saying God wants to take the Sultan of Sokoto (the
traditional head of Muslims in Nigeria) and turn him into an evangelist or a
pastor. Some people will say this is impossible, but with God nothing shall be
impossible ( Luke 1 : 37 ). Once He has set out His plan, and His Word has gone
forth, He will do it. To get Naaman to become a worshipper of the Living God,
the Lord needed someone to cooperate with Him. It was a housemaid in
Naaman’s household who told her mistress that there was a prophet in Israel
who could cure her husband’s leprosy. Like this handmaid, are you ready to
cooperate with the Lord in building His church?
ACTION POINT :
Every child of God has a role to play in building the kingdom of God. So, don’t
just sit on the fence!
