OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOCAL POINTS

Date: *FRIDAY 27TH OCTOBER*
Theme: *THE ESSENCE OF SPIRITUAL OFFICE*
Text: *Ephesians 4:8-11*
Memorise: *Ephesians 4:11*
.
*POINTS*
.
• When God calls a person into a spiritual office, it is because there are roles he wants such a person to play in the scheme of things as regards God’s agenda for man on earth.
.
• Spiritual offices are not just for the purpose of accumulating titles or occupying position. If you are called into a spiritual office, you are called to serve God, and to be a blessing to lives.
.
• God is the giver of all spiritual gifts through His Holy Spirit. However, it so obvious today that some people are not using the spiritual offices they occupy for God’s original purpose.
.
• Today, there are many sheep wandering away, because they are not being properly guided by the shepherds the Good Shepherd has set over them.
.
• There are members of the Body of Christ who cannot identify their left from their right, and for this reason the Holy Spirit in *( 2 Timothy 4:2)*, gave this mandate to those He has set over them as pastors:


✔ Are you an evangelist? You are a preacher and messenger of the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. As an evangelist, you are to declare the entire counsel of God wherever you are.
.
• The word of the Lord should not be watered down because of the presence of certain people in your audience *(Jeremiah 1:8).* You are to constantly remind your hearer of the genuine word of God and avoid messages that will not bring people to the knowledge of Christ and His saving works.
.
✔ If you are a teacher of the word, you have been gifted by the Holy Spirit to explain God’s word in order to build and equip the church. You are to communicate biblical truths effectively to the understanding of your hearers.
.
✔ Are you occupying the office of a prophet? If you are, you have been authorized by God to speak on His behalf.
.
• There are lots of problems in the Body of Christ today because people are not using these spiritual offices for the purpose for which they were given by the Lord Jesus Christ.
.
• Grace has been given to everyone according to the measure of the gift of Christ; hence, it is important that people disengage from causing divisions within the Body of Christ.
.
√ The offices are meant to complement one another for the perfecting of the saints and to edify the Body of Christ.
.
√ The offices are to be used together for the unity of the church, so that God’s people can come into the full knowledge of Him.
.
*Prayer Point*

• Father, may Your grace upon my life not be in vain.

Who’s Who in Hell by Kenneth E. Hagin

Everyone will face  eternity one day. The righteous enter “life eternal” Matt. 25:46 , and the unrighteous are cast into hell or the lake of fire Rev. 20:15 . The lake of fire is the final dwelling place for those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life  Rev. 20:15 . We should thank God for the revelation His Word gives us concerning Heaven. If we are in Christ, we are Heaven-bound!  We should also thank God for what scripture says about hell . Those who haven’t made Jesus their Lord are not  Heaven-bound. Christians need to reach these people with the Gospel. We must let them know there is a Heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Who’s Who There once were books that listed people who achieved a degree of prominence in the arts and sciences, in business, and in various professions. Sometimes it’s interesting to know “who’s who” in life. The Bible also gives us a “who’s who” in hell, so to speak. Revelation 21:8 (NKJV) 8. But t...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SATURDAY 17TH JUNE 2017 THEME: SIN: SO DESTRUCTIVE MEMORISE: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12 READ: John 5:2-14 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: b...
