OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL..
DATE : THURSDAY 18 AUGUST 2016
THEME : THAT WE MAY BE RICH
Memorise:
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus, that, though he
was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye
through his poverty might be rich. 2nd Corinthians 8:9
Read: John 10:9-11, (KJV)
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep.
MESSAGE
The death of Jesus was for a purpose and that purpose is to
ensure that you fulfil your destiny. Jesus sacrificed Himself
for your redemption. He took your place and gave you His.
It is upon this arrangement that you have access to all that
He provided. The death of Jesus was not in vain, it is a
substitution for all your human weaknesses and
deficiencies. God is not only interested in making you
saved; He is interested in you having all that is available in
the salvation package. I decree that whatever will not make
you enjoy the full benefits of salvation shall be destroyed in
Jesus’ name. Just for your sake, Jesus was born into very
poor circumstances, He lived a poor life and died in poverty;
and all these was that such things do not happen in your
life. He voluntarily did all that, so that you might be rich. The
riches even cover your divine health; by His stripes you are
healed. I command every sickness and disease operating in
your body to be uprooted in Jesus’ name. His death is so
that you might be rich in deliverance. There are many people
attending deliverance services but are yet to be free. If you
appropriate the death of Jesus into your situation, there
should be freedom for you.
“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free”
John 8:32
As believers of the new covenant, you are to be rich in the
love and favour of the Almighty God. You are to be rich in
the blessing and promises of the new covenant. You are to
be rich in your expectation of eternal life. When you give
your life to Jesus Christ, there is happiness in your life not
only by the things you have but by the experience you have
in Him. The Lord Jesus becomes the shepherd of your soul
and He guarantees your protection so that you enjoy the
riches of His divine security. Nothing scares you any longer
because He that now watches over your soul does not sleep
nor slumber. You become rich in abundance and the yoke of
poverty becomes destroyed. You will be practically guided
on how to enjoy the benefits of His riches through His
goodness and mercy.
This is why you must not allow the devil see your life as
being vacant. The devil is out to kill, to steal and to destroy
but when you give Jesus a chance in your life, you will
experience a turnaround from poverty to wealth. The devil
has nothing good to offer you. In the end, his offers lead to
destruction and disgrace, but the riches of God are
permanent. The Joy of God is real; the peace of God is
timeless. The abundance of God is not a function of
economic indices. The longevity of life has nothing to do
with keeping to medical prescriptions. The security of God
has nothing to do with human elements. All these benefits
are part of the riches He gave to you on the cross of Calvary
but they become activated when you accept Him as your
personal Lord and Saviour.
Key Point:
If you don’t know your rights, you cannot enjoy them.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 34:1-37:13 and Psalms 37:1-20

HYMN 12: MY HOPE IS BUILD ON NOTHING LESS
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Chorus:
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
Chorus:
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Chorus.
