RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

THURSDAY, 3RD OCTOBER.

UNDERSTANDING THE RULES OF PRAYER

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:1).

Why does God want us to always pray? It’s because it’s His intention to always answer our prayers. This should excite you to always pray; to take advantage of the privilege and opportunity of prayer, which, essentially, is a Spirit-to-spirit communication in divine fellowship

Sadly, what many know about prayer is asking God for things. They see prayer as an avenue to beg or “force” God to do something for them, as though He’s unwilling. But that’s not the purpose of prayer. God isn’t against us; so, when we pray, we’re not trying to convince Him to do something He’s not inclined to do. Rather, we’re siding with Him in bringing His will to pass.

Furthermore, the Bible shows that there’re different kinds of prayer, with different rules governing each kind. Most Christians are acquainted with the prayer of faith. The prayer of faith is quick; it’s the kind of prayer you can pray on the go. But there’re lots of issues and challenges in this world that won’t go away by the prayer of faith. Such situations or issues require some passionate supplication for the desired change to take place. We read about this kind of prayer in James 5:16-18 (AMPC); it’s heartfelt and continued.

You may say, “But prayer is prayer”; no, prayer isn’t just prayer. You can’t apply the rules for the prayer of faith for the prayer of intercession; it won’t work. It’s one of the reasons people don’t have answers to their prayers; they’re praying the wrong way about their situation.

If, for example, any football player other than the team’s goalkeeper, within his own penalty area, deliberately handles the ball when in play, such a player will be penalized. The referee won’t overlook the infringement, because you can’t apply handball or basketball rules to football.

Study the Word to know, and apply the right rules for the different kinds of prayers and you’ll surely have results. Get our books titled, “How To Pray Effectively” and “Praying The Right Way” to learn more about the different kinds of prayer and their corresponding rules. They’ll enrich your prayer life.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege and opportunity of prayer. I declare that your Word grows mightily and prevails around the world, and that the wicked acts, schemes, policies and stratagems of Satan are frustrated. Even now, I affirm by the Holy Ghost, that the earth is being filled with the knowledge of your glory, as the waters cover the sea, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#TALKINGSESSION

3RD OCTOBER.

KINDLY SAY THESE WORDS OUT LOUD.

Thank You Father, for I know that the devil and the cohorts of hell have been defeated, paralyzed, and rendered completely powerless. I have been given the authority and made superior to them in Christ!

Now, I walk in my victory over Satan, sin, sickness, disease and death! I thank You for the power
of Your Word, and its ability to transform, purify, strengthen me, and build my faith strong! I give no room to doubt and unbelief, but believe and receive Your truths always!

My heart is continually being purified and enlightened by Your Word, and Satan has nothing in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


God bless you

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: THURSDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2019.

THEME: THE CHARACTER OF FORGIVENESS.

MEMORISE:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13

READ: Colossians 3:12-15 (KJV)

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

MESSAGE
To forgive is to decide to reject feelings of resentment between you and a person who has wronged you.

This isn’t always easy, especially when a person has really hurt and trampled on you.

However, forgiveness is a mandate for Christians; no one can profess to be a genuine Christian and not live a lifestyle of forgiveness.

Our Lord said to us in Matthew 6:15:

“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses , neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

This verse clearly states what happens when we refuse to forgive anyone who wrong us: we too will not be forgiven by our heavenly Father.

In other words, forgiving our offenders isn’t just an instruction to be obeyed; it is a matter of life or death for us, because if our sins are not forgiven, then we are doomed eternally.

Un-forgiveness is therefore not something to be toyed with at all.

As partakers of His divine nature, God expects or forgiveness to take on the character of His forgiveness.

For example, the Holy Spirit says in Jeremiah 31:34

“And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

This verse is telling us that forgiveness shall not be temporary. In other words, when you forgive, God expects you to forgive once and for all.

As a child of God therefore, you don’t see someone you supposedly forgave months ago and immediately feel resentment for that fellow. When you forgive someone, you forever let go of every hurt and pain that the fellow caused you.

Another character of forgiveness is that it takes just one person to forgive.

Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation where the two parties involved are required to meet and make up.

With forgiveness, you don’t have to wait for the person who offended you to come and apologise for whatever they did. You have to forgive even before being asked. Forgiveness is not about the fellow who offended you; it is about you and your relationship with God.

Forgiveness is not easy. In fact, it can be extremely difficult to forgive, but as a Christian, you are required to forgive, no matter how hard it is. Are you walking in forgiveness?

Action Point:
Has anyone offended you? Forgive them today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HYMN: SING HYMN 5

LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU.

Let others see Jesus in you.

CHORUS:

Let others see Jesus in you.
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.

2. Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it thro’ and thro’
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?

CHORUS:

Let others see Jesus in you.
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.

3. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.

CHORUS:
Let others see Jesus in you.
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.

*SEEDS OF DESTINY*

*THE DEFENCE OF THE BLESSING*

03 October, 2019

Any progress outside of God will end in disgrace; a life outside of Christ must crash.

SCRIPTURE: Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Deuteronomy 28:6

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any progress outside of God will end in disgrace; a life outside of Christ must crash.

It can be seen from our anchor Scripture that there is a relationship between the Blessing of God and the Defence of God.

The office of the President of a nation or an Ambassador to a nation is accompanied with strong security and heavy immunity; in the same manner, the Blessing of God is accompanied with the security and defence of God. To be blessed by God, therefore, is to be secured by God.

The truth is, the difference between those who get rich by fraud, corruption or diabolic means and those who are rich by the Blessing of God is in the security of their resources and the defence of their lives. In contemporary times, there are people who were in top government positions, some were even referred to as, �His Excellency� or �Honourable� but have been grounded today either by affliction or by poverty. Some were billionaires but today, they are either broke or bankrupt.

 There are so many diabolic rich people who cannot sleep at night. What a life! But God-given wealth is different; it comes with divine security, defence, rest and peace of mind.

Beloved, any progress outside of God will end in disgrace; a life outside of Christ must crash. The fact is, nothing sustains riches like the Blessing; nothing guarantees the security of life like the Blessing of God. Make up your mind to pursue the Blessing of God in order to be secured and preserved in life and destiny.

REMEMBER THIS: Any progress outside of God will end in disgrace; a life outside of Christ must crash
ASSIGNMENT(S)

1. Above anything else, seek the Blessing of God for your life.
2. Don�t struggle to be rich by fraud, corruption or diabolic means; it is a set-up for destruction
3. Ensure to remain under your God-given prophetic covering for the flow of the Blessing.

PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse every invitation of the enemy to acquire resource either by fraud, diabolism or corruption. I connect to collect Your blessing Lord, in Jesus� Name.

*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*

_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_

*DATE: THURSDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2019*

*TOPIC: PALM TREES DON’T BREAK! YOU ARE A HURRICANE!*

*BASIC SCRIPTURES: PSALM 92:10-16; 2CORINTHIANS 4:13*

One of the most remarkable trees that God created is the palm tree. No wonder the Bible says in Proverbs 24:16 – “the righteous may fall seven times but he will rise again” And then 1st scripture Vs. 12 says, “the righteous will flourish like the palm tree…” It did not say the righteous will flourish like the OAK or IROKO TREE, though these threes look bigger than the palm tree in size height! Studies have shown that *storms and strong winds do not have enough power to BREAK a palm tree. Secondly, they cannot uproot the palm tree!* The storm that may uproot an OAK or IROKO tree cannot uproot the palm tree! So, the palm tree is stronger and “bigger” in TENACITY or ability to HOLD ON in stubborn storms!

Yes! When the biggest and tallest trees get uprooted by the storms/strong winds, the only thing that happens to the palm tree is that IT MAY BEND. *An No Matter How Low It Bends, When The Storm Is Over, The Palm Tree Comes Right Back Into Its Upright Position!*

 Wonderful God of the Palm tree! Two things to learn from this remarkable tree about you: 1. No Storm Will Last Forever. 2. No Matter How Long The Storm Lasts, It Was Not Sent To Break You! *An eagle earns its honour from the storms it endures!* There is something inside you that keeps telling you, “I cannot be at the bottom! I cannot be a failure! I cannot give up! I will bounce back again!” It’s called the voice of victory!

2Corinthians 4:13 calls it the, “spirit of faith.” It’s the spirit that the champions of old had. Listen to that inner voice and never forget that: *The storm is the test, the sunshine is its reward!* No matter how 2019 or indeed your entire life has been, refuse to give up now! Close with Matshona Dhliwayo: *“The storm is inferior to the rainbow.”* You will stand and tell the world someday: *The storm is what they threw at me, the hurricane is what I became.” Like the palm, you will NEVER break! You may bend but you will be stronger! Hold on and hold out!

*(Give out this ODM edition copy)! It will speak in your favour within 14 days)! Give out this 4th quarter ODM copy to souls! Remember, EVANGELISM is God’s PASSION! I see NEW FAVOUR on you for every copy given out! Start today!*

*PRAYER POINTS:* Take any song of worship as led now.

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led.
2. Decree this now: I am stronger than any storm! I may bend but I cannot break! I FLOURISH LIKE THE PALM TREE, AND I WILL BE FRUITFUL because my RAINBOW SEASON is unstoppable *(Pray in Tongues).*
3. Still pray concerning *this last quarter now! Before the last days of this year, I shall have a RAINBOW testimony in Jesus name.

LIVING WATER CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

Thursday, October 3, 2019. - WORLD 
TEMPERANCE DAY

NEVER MAKE DECISION IN ANGER
READ: Esther 2:1-4

Esther 2:1-4 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

MEMORISE: After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her (Esther 2:1).

EXPOSITION

Decision-making affects lives, positively or negatively. What happens to you today is a function of the decision(s) you took yesterday, and decisions you take today will determine what happens to you, tomorrow. Your decisions have power to control your life and even your destiny. You should learn to think twice before taking any major decision in life.

A very dangerous time to take any decision is when you are angry. You want to know how dangerous and regrettable it is to take decisions in anger? Ask King Ahaseurus in the Bible.

 When Queen Vashti abused her position by turning down the king’s order that she should be brought before him to display her beauty to the people on a special occasion, the king was furious, and his anger burned within him. He called for advice out of anger, and was advised to give her royal position to a better lady. His advisors advised him, obviously, for selfish reason (cf. Est. 1:20). The king took the decision in haste and anger. It is likely that on the inside and when he was alone, he might have not been too happy with how he treated his obviously dearly beloved Vashti, when his wrath was appeased (2:1). By that time, there was nothing he could do again because of the irreversible nature of royal order.

This is a serious lesson for us today. When you are angry with your spouse, children, house help, boss at work, business associates, subordinates, friends, etc., do not take rash decisions. Any decision you mistakenly take today would affect the rest of your life in a way or the other (Eccl. 7:9).

PRAYER POINTS

1. I ask for forgiveness, O Lord, for the wrong decisions I had made, and that are bringing me problems.
2. I receive the capacity to control myself in time of anger, in Jesus’ name.
3. Pray that God should help people in government at the various levels to avoid making decisions rashly.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Eccl. 8:17 – 12:14; Gal. 6:7 – 6:18; Eph. 1:1 – 1:1
