OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS AND CHILDREN THURSDAY 24TH MAY 2018: GOD’S TATTOO

MEMORISE: Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:16

Please read: Isaiah 49:13-16

MESSAGE:
Is there any earthly father who so loves his children that he stays awake to watch over them every night? Is there a man who so loves his wife to the extent of not sleeping, just keeping vigil every night, looking at her face? I do not know of any. But we have a Father who
keeps watch over us day and night. Hence, David could say,

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8).

If you are a child of God, you need not be afraid to sleep at night. God is not limited to the day, His
excellent security services cover both day and night. Open Heaven 26 May 2018 (Sunday)

Our God can also never forget us. Isaiah 49:15 says even when a nursing mother forgets her baby, God will not forget him/her. This is because He has engraved you upon the palms of His hands. You are God’s tattoo! He sees and remembers you every second of the day,
and He is always available and willing to help you, just call on Him.

ACTION POINT:
Thank God for tattooing you on the palm of His hands. Thank Him that He can never forget you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Hymn 10
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.

Open Heaven 28 May 2018 Memorise
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:7

Open Heaven 28 May 2018 Bible Reading Romans 3: 20-24

Open Heaven 28 May 2018 Bible in one year: 1 kings 5-6, Acts 1

Grace is God’s character by which He shows himself as being compassionate, loving, merciful, accepting and generous to all of mankind. God’s grace shields sinful mankind from his wrath, grants the. Forgiveness and bestows on them His righteousness so that they can live and grow up in faith and obedience to Him. Grace and mercy are particularly expressed through God’s covenant with His  chosen people and through Jesus Christ’s atoning death on the cross. Open Heaven 27 May 2018

Throughout the Bible, the notion of grace is abundantly present even where the word is not mentioned. Whenever Jesus brought healing to the sick and deliverance to the oppressed, devine grace was on display. The grace of God is especially expresses through salvation from sin, offered by Jesus to all of mankind. Speaking about Jesus as the embodiment of God’s grace, Titus 2:11 says

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,”

Jesus vividly explained the notion of grace through the parables of the prodigal son and the task collector who was justified after praying for God’s mercy as a sinner ( Luke 15:11-32, Luke 18:9-14). Grace is a core part of the message of the Christian faith, and hence the message of the gospel is repeatedly labelled the “gospel of the grace of God” ( Acts 14:3, Acts 20:24).

“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 1:14

It is important to note that divine grace is a gift of God, and it is abundant enough to secure forgiveness and redemption for anyone who is dead to sin, raising them up and making them sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus ( Ephesians 2:5-6). This abundant grace also opens the door to healing from all kinds of sicknesses, and it delivers from captivity, oppression and all kinds of demonic powers.

Furthermore, it is able to breakdown the strongholds of the devil and produce transformation in lives. It is equally important to note that this abundant grace, though undeserved, is available for free! No one can ever meet the requirements or fulfil the conditions necessary for accessing the benefits that God’s grace gives. The least you can do is to thank God for it. Ephesians 2:8-9 says

“For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works , lest any man should boast.”

The saving grace of Jesus Christ is available to all human beings without exception; do not reject or ignore it, but rather accept it with thanksgiving and your life will never be the same again. Amen!

1. O LORD my God! When I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works Thy hand hath made;

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed:

Chorus:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:

Chorus:

3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,

Sent Him to die – I scarce can take it in:

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin:

Chorus:

4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me home – what joy shall fill my heart!

Then shall I bow in humble adoration,

And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. Proverbs 3:34

Grace I’d commonly used in the Bible to describe the demonstration of God’s goodwill towards mankind, embodied in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the effects of that goodwill on human lives. Throughout the Bible, God showed himself gracious in his dealings with mankind.

In the old testament, the grace of God is spoken of in relation to three overlapping terms, which are goodness, love and mercy. Each time the word ‘grace’ is used in the Bible, it connotes God’s goodness , love and mercy towards humanity. I pray that God will be gracious to you, and that you will continue to enjoy His grace throughout your life in Jesus’ Name. Open Heaven May 26 2018

God’s grace was responsible for Noah’s appointment into the special assignment that led to his entire family surviving the flood (Genesis 6:8). However, Psalm 145:9 says :

” The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

Although the application of God’s grace can be selective like in Noah’s case, its available to all the works of God. Everything that God created, both living and non living things, enjoy God’s grace. God upholds those who are falling and lifts up those who are bowed down by His grace.

He opens His hands to supply all creatures their food and substances, thereby satisfying the desire of every living thing. God by his love and mercy provides for plants and animals alike , ensuring that whatever they need is made available within their reach.

After pondering the goodness of the Lord, the psalmist in Psalms 145 declared that God is near to those who call upon Him, and He meets all their needs by his grace. While speaking on the grace of God in several passages of the Bible, the Holy Spirit demonstrates that this grace is universal in nature. The Holy Spirit speaks about God’s providence in caring for all His creatures, His help for the needy, His love and compassion for the oppressed, and his concern for the sickly and the weak.

All these are demonstrations of Gods grace. Any one who is thoughtful would find abundant evidence of the steadfast love of the Lord demonstrated throughout the whole universe. That is why Psalms 150:6 says

“Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”

God, by his grace , has counted us worthy to be chosen amongst the people of the world as His own special people, redeemed by the precious Blood of His Son, thereby making us His own special possession (1 Peter 2:9).

Obviously, God has not treated us according to what our evil deeds deserve. Our continued existence testifies to his redeeming grace , and this same grace provided the basis for our status as children of the Most High God. Let somebody shout hallelujah.
