Open Heavens Daily Devotional Wednesday 15th January 2014 “THE DAY OF GOD’s MERCY” – Pastor E. A. Adeboye

THE DAY OF GOD’s MERCY – By Pastor E. A. Adeboye

Memory Verse: Romans 9:15:“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

Read: 1 Samuel 16:11-12.
Bible in one year: Galatians Chapter 4 to Chapter 6; Psalm 18:1-19.  

1 Samuel 16:11-12:“And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.”

Message: 
The day that David was preferred above his brothers could be described as a day of God’s mercy. While he was in the wilderness looking after his father’s flock, he never dreamt that he could become a king. There was no king in his family, and in any case, king Saul was still alive. David was not the son of king Saul, so it could not have crossed his mind that he could ever be king. He never prayed for it. In the case of Elisha in 1 Kings 19:19-21, he was busy working on the farm when the Almighty graciously told him that he had obtained mercy from Him. He became the son of a prophet. In the story of Gideon in Judges 6:11-16, the Bible tells us that Gideon was by the winepress working, and the Almighty God met him there. You may be working in a factory and God may meet you there. When your day comes, nothing can stop it. In the case of Moses in Exodus 3:1-10, the Bibles says Moses was at the backside of the desert where you wouldn’t even think of looking for a deliverer. You may live in a village that is not even on the map but God can pick you up from there. You may be servant like Joshua – the servant of Moses, who was in deep sorrow in a tent because his master had just died. God met him there and said he was to replace Moses. Joshua trembled but God said He would be with him just as He was with Moses (Joshua 1 verses 2 and 5).
David woke up a shepherd boy and by the time he went to bed, he was a king. Today may be your day. It may be the day that you will get answers to all your prayers. All you need to do is to worship God and let your destiny be fulfilled. You must however remember that the day came for Gehazi too. He was a servant of a man of God and he was a very crooked one. He must have been playing some pranks and God must have been watching him. One day, his day came. He ran after Naaman and got something. He got leprosy. Do not let today be your day of destruction. If you are still in sin, let today be your day of salvation as it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:2:
“For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The mercy of God is pleading with someone reading this devotional today: stop arguing with God, repent of your sins; stop that extra-marital affair; stop that fraudulent practice; the day of God’s mercy may come speedily. It may even be today.
ACTION POINT

• Think of those things the Holy Spirit has been warning you against; stop doing them and turn a new leaf so that today would be your day of experiencing God’s mercy.

Elisha Goodman 2014 Prayers at the Gate (14-DAYS)

A Day of 3 Things

Day 1: A Day of Repentance…
The very first step to take is acknowledge that you have made mistakes in the past and sinned greatly against the LORD.
Then you go to Him in with godly sorrow and deep repentance in your heart, confessing your sins and the sins of your ancestors, following Daniels’s godly example in Daniel 9.
Here Daniel was praying for the restoration of Jerusalem. You should follow that model and in place of Jerusalem, substitute your family and your divine destiny.
This is such a crucial FIRST step. You must do it slowly, all day and possibly during the night too.
Confess your sins one by one.
Mention them by name, especially sexual sins.
Do not forget the hidden sins of the heart, chief among them mentioned in Gal. 5:19-21.
And ask GOD for forgiveness and mercy. For those sins one by one.
Believe that the LORD has forgiven you as He has promised in His Word.
Please note that the Holy Spirit will remind you of many unrepented sins. You need to repent of them all if you REALLY want to see results in this program.
This is what will set the tone and lay the foundation for the rest of this 14-day program.
It is what will activate divine intervention in every area of your life … the LORD has been waiting a long time for you to get on your knees and do this properly and thoroughly!

The Prayer Blueprint for Shocking Breakthroughs in 2014

2 Kings 3:11-20:“But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? get you to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you. But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him. And he said, Thus said the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus said the LORD, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that you may drink, both you, and your cattle, and your beasts. And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand. And you shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.”

But before we go one step further, we need to pause for prayers. Please close your eyes and take these prayers with fire and thunder in your voice:

• Every garment making my life to stink, be roasted by fire in the name of Jesus.
• Any entity sharing my life with me in the spirit, be destroyed by the thunder fire of God in Jesus name.
• My destiny jump out of every satanic cage in the name of Jesus.
• Any miracle that has eluded me as a result of doubt, be restored 7 fold in the name of Jesus.
• I plug myself into the electrical power grid of the Holy Ghost.
• In 2014 I refuse to be a deaf and dumb prayer warrior in Jesus’ name.
• O Lord, recharge my genetic code with your fire in the name of Jesus.
• I am leaving behind the ordinary level of promotion in Jesus name.
• I wipe off all my records from the satanic databases in Jesus name.
• I refuse to be disconnected from my source of power in the name of Jesus.
• I will NOT go back to my own vomit in the mighty name of Jesus.
• Any power assigned to make a shipwreck of my faith, Holy Spirit, release your security angels to track them down and kill them in Jesus’ name.
