Open Heaven 16th May 2021 Sunday – You Can Be Rich And Righteous

Open Heaven 16th May 2021 Sunday Devotional Guide By Pastor E.A Adeboye

TOPIC: You Can Be Rich And Righteous(Open Heaven 16th May 2021 Sunday)

MEMORISE:
“Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.” – (Proverbs 8:18)

READ: Malachi 3:10-12 (KJV)
10. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

1. Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

2. The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.

MESSAGE:
Many children of God have misconceptions about prosperity. Some think that being a Christian means that they have to be poor, forgetting that God Himself said in Proverbs 8:18:
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

Imagine God, our Father having the possession of riches and righteousness. This revelation counters the notion that you cannot be righteous and rich at the same time. Today, decree that the power to get wealth shall come upon you in Jesus’ name.

Those people who think that wealth is alien to God run after the devil and he deceives them into thinking that he has wealth. The devil tried this with Jesus in Luke 4:6-7, but our Saviour knows better. The truth is that only God can give you power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). He blessed Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in their generations as we see in Genesis 22:15-18; 26:12-14; 32:9-10. When Jabez cried unto God in (1 Chronicles 4:10), God blessed him greatly. Peter, the struggling fisherman, encountered the King of glory at the lake of Gennesaret, and suddenly he became prosperous, looking for additional hands to help him gather his bountiful harvest (Luke 5:4-9). This same God will give you power to get wealth today in Jesus’ name.

The question now is “How do we get this power to become wealthy?” It is simple. Always worship the Lord with fear and trembling. Commit to meditating on His word (Joshua 1:8, Deuteronomy 28:1). You must also not forget to be like Him in your dedication to service. God would only give His riches and honour to diligent people; you must never be lazy or idle. Furthermore, you must keep His commandments in the area of tithe, offering and first-fruits, remembering the needy, the widow and the orphans (Proverbs 19:17). Finally, you must live and spend your income prudently because Proverbs 21:17 says “He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:…”

We shall be wise, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me the power to get wealth and I will become a channel of blessing to the world.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Mark 4-5

HYMN 25 – THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
   This is the promise of love;
   There shall be seasons refreshing,
   Sent from the Saviour above.

REFRAIN:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops ’round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
   Precious reviving again;
   Over the hills and the valleys,
   Sound of abundance of rain.

2. There shall be showers of blessing;
   Send them upon us, Oh Lord!
   Grant to us now a refreshing;
   Come and now honour Thy Word.

3. There shall be showers of blessing;
   Oh, that today they might fall,
   Now, as to God, we’re confessing,
   Now as on Jesus we call!
