OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Before God called me into full-time ministry, my dream was to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa. I thought I had a great dream, and so, I pursued it with everything that I had. What I did not think of was, after becoming the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, what next? I thought I had my tomorrow all figured out, but the truth is, I was short-sighted. I thank God that He came in to give me real hope for my tomorrow.
It is good to be ambitious but believe me, any ambition that negates the will of God will only cause more trouble than good. Isaiah 45:9 says:
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Beloved, you are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Do not try to go in a different direction from the will of God if you do not want to go astray; the clay that argues with its potter will end up broken. The only way to achieve genuine success in life is to go on the path that your creator made for you. You should find out God’s purpose for your life and walk in it.
You may ask, “How do I discover the purpose of God for my life?” If a product does not understand its purpose, it can get a hint by staying close to its manufacturer. As it spends time with its manufacturer, it will begin to notice what the manufacturer uses it for and realise its purpose. God is your creator; spend quality time with Him daily. As you do this, He will begin to give you specific instructions and use you for certain tasks. These instructions and tasks will tell you clearly what His purpose for your life is.
Peter thought that his purpose was to be a fisherman. He went about fishing so diligently that he worked all night, even when there was no catch. However, when he came in contact with Jesus, He told him, “Follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men.” As he followed Jesus, he fulfilled God’s purpose for his life.
Beloved, stay close to God, and He will reveal His purpose for you here on earth. Make up your mind to obey His instructions, and you will indeed fulfil your destiny.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to stay close to You so that I can fulfil my destiny, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Acts 27-28
HYMNAL:
Hymn 28 – Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah
1. Guide me, O Thou great *Jehovah, [*Redeemer]
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
3. Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,
Wondrous are Thy works of old;
Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom,
Who for naught themselves had sold:
Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer
Sin and Satan and the grave,
Sin and Satan and the grave.
4. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death and hell’s Destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.
