OPEN HEAVEN 23 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Corinthians 5:7

OPEN HEAVEN 23 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING HEBREWS 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 SEPTEMBER 2022 MESSAGE

Faith is the foundation of our Christian walk with God. In fact, the summary of Christianity is faith. No wonder Hebrews 11:1-40 made a list of heroes of faith. Our Bible passage also says without faith, it will be impossible to please God. Indeed, no one can do God’s will unless he/she has faith.Faith in God is also based on His integrity.

One of the characteristics of God is that He can never lie, none of the words He says will fail to come pass. A friend can promise to get you a gift, yet forget to get it or even decide not to, but God will never renege on His promises or words.

Therefore, lack of faith in Gods word or His promises is simply saying that God is a liar. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). His thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace, to bring you to an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).

Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men, what He has in store for you. Don’t lose faith in God even if what you are experiencing right now is the opposite of His desires for you. Hold on, never lose faith in Him.

All things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23).

OPEN HEAVEN 23 SEPTEMBER 2022 HYMN

SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer

2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear,
To Him whose Truth and faithfulness,
Engage the waiting soul to bless,
And since He bids seek His face,
Believe His Word, and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight.
This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
