MARKS OF CARNALITY Tuesday 28 February


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk as men? 1 Corinthians 3:3

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:1-5

To sustain the release of divine revelations, you must walk in the spirit. It is what you have that you will give out. You cannot be living in covetousness, lies and disobedience and expect to receive life transforming revelations from the Spirit. Anyone who desires to enter into supernatural encounters with the Holy Spirit must first purge himself or herself of carnality (2 Timothy 2:21). Are you still carnal? If you are living with “little white lies”, you are carnal. If you envy others or you are jealous of their progress, you are carnal. If you encourage or participate in creating camps in church on tribal or social status lines, you are carnal. If you hold a grudge against your fellow brother or sister but fail to settle with the fellow, you are carnal. Are you still keeping malice with your offender or seek to revenge the fellow instead of forgiving him or her? You are carnal. If you gratify your flesh in things that stir up unhealthy emotions in your heart, you are carnal.

A carnal Christian is one who after being saved has refused to mortify the deeds of the flesh. Carnality is very rife among Christians today because we think we can eat our cake and have it. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. If you try this, be rest assured that God does not accept such service. If you are causing divisions or you are insubordinate to higher authorities, particularly in church, you are carnal. If you find it difficult to humble yourself under your pastor because he is not financially or materially blessed as you, it is because you are carnal. It is carnality that makes you engage spiritual assignments with the arm of flesh. Are you yet carnal? If your purpose for engaging in a particular assignment is to show off your knowledge, or to be noticed, you are carnal. Carnality destroys your relationship with God and finally leads you to hell. Repent today of every carnal act!

PRAYER POINT:
Father, let every speck of carnality in my life die today.
 
Bible in one year: Judges 9-10

IDOLS FRUSTRATE EXPECTATIONS Monday 27 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28 Read: Isaiah 44:10-18 B efore you receive a prophetic declaration, check out the fruit of the vessel-the prophet, pastor, or servant of God, whether the fellow is still in league with God. Some people say, “thus says the Lord,” but the Lord did not say anything to them. Some of them heard from themselves and spoke. Be careful of what you accept as being from God. In Jeremiah 28:1-4, Hananiah a prophet prophesied that in two years God was going to set Israel free from the yoke of the king of Babylon, but it was all a lie! Imagine the joy of the people when they heard that. But after two years, and the prophecy did not come to pass, all the expectations of the people failed. Instead of two years, they spent 70 years. In others, the prophetic lies of prophets cannot change what God want to do or alter its tim...

DROP THOSE EXCUSES! Wednesday 22 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whatsoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Romans 2:1 Read: Exodus 3:10-16 A fter his experience of the supernatural and God introducing Himself to Moses, he was given a specific assignment. He objected with reasons but they were not accepted. From this we learn that when God has decided to send you on an assignment, no excuse is good enough. You will notice that the more Moses excused himself from embarking on that assignment, the angrier God became (Exodus 4:13-14). Making excuses to avoid doing what God has assigned to you will easily put you on the wrong side of God’s judgement. Excuses can move you from God’s right hand to His left, from favour to disfavour, from blessing to curses. Has the Lord given you an assignment and you are piling up reasons for not obeying? You are to...
