Open Heaven [24 June 2018] Sunday – The two-legged instructions

Open Heaven 24 June 2018 Memorise
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore Got, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:9

Bible Reading Romans 1:28-32

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Open Heaven 24 June 2018 Bible in one year: 1 Chronicles 4-5, Acts 16:16-40

During a solemn Assembly at the Redemption Camp, Nigeria, the Lord instructed me to teach my children who were present some pairs of “two-legged ” divine instructions which every Christian should adhere to. What we see today is that most Christians are obeying only one of  these instruction pairs while deliberately ignoring the other. Today, we will be considering the pair of instructions revealed in our memory verse

While it is easy for every Christian to love righteousness, hating iniquity is what is beginning to fade away. Christians are beginning to give consideration to and show sympathy for iniquity. Issues that are clearly called out as iniquity in the Bible are being tolerated by Christians and have even become subjects of discussion in Church of God. Such acts of iniquity include sexual immorality like fornication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality and the likes. These two passages of the scripture reveal the danger of harbouring such disposition:

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do this things which are not convenient;”
Romans 1:28

“Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death , not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:32

Based on the truth contained in these verses, a lot of Christians have fallen from the position of grace , and God has give them over to reprobate mind. Although they are usually still able to speak all the right Christian words and phrases, their doctrines and principles are no longer in line with the Scriptures. Some have even gone ahead to start their own congregation where these false doctrines are being taught. Open Heaven 25 June 2018

Open Heaven 24 June 2018

The Lord warns us against false prophets in Revelation 2:20. The only way to avoid falling prey to false prophets and ensure you remain on the straight and narrow path is to have a personal relationship with God. You need to study thr word of God yourself to know what it says is right or wrong. Your Christian life should not be built on your pastor’s interpretation of the Scriptures.I pray that you will grow in your knowledge of God as you study your Bible more.

Open Heaven 24 June 2018 Hymn 4

Through the love of God our Saviour

Verse 1

Through the love of God our Savior,
All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favor;
All, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us;
Perfect is the grace that sealed us;
Strong the hand stretched out to shield us;
All must be well.

Verse 2

Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well;
Ours is such a full salvation;
All, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy through the Spirit’s guiding,
All must be well.

Verse 3

We expect a bright tomorrow;
All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well.
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living, or in dying,
All must be well.
