      Open Heavens Daily Devotional 17th November, 2017

      Topic: Service and Friendship

      Memorise: Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? – 2 Chronicles 20:7

      Read: Genesis 18:17-22 (KJV)

      17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

      18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

      19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

      20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

      21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

      22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

      Bible in One Year: Psalm 1-8, Amos 7, Hymn: Sing Hymn 14 – Take My Life

      MESSAGE: When you read through 2 Kings 2:1-7, you will notice that Elijah, Elisha and the sons of the prophets in Bethel, Jericho and Jordan were all very much aware of Elijah’s transition to glory and the day it was scheduled to take place. In fact, they even treated the knowledge of this event like an open secret. One lesson from this is that if you walk in the Spirit, significant events will be common knowledge to you. God has secrets (Proverb 25:2). There are certain things known only to Him, which He may want to share with men once in a while. Daniel 2:22 says,

      “He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

      In as much as God wants to share His secrets with men, if He looks around and finds no one qualified by His grace for such secrets, He will simply keep it to Himself.

      “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” – Amos 3:7

      When you have a closely guarded secret, do you tell everyone on the street about it? I very much doubt you would do that. Rather, you will want to keep it to yourself, and even if you would tell anyone at all, it will be someone who is not only close to you but who is also trustworthy enough in keeping secrets. Who are those God will share His secrets with? It is His servants! If you are not getting divine information regarding crucial future events, it is most likely that you need to correct certain aspects of your service.

      When you serve the Lord, He will share some of His secrets with you. The more you serve Him, the more you have future information ahead of time. Also, you must be his friend. Abraham was God’s friend, and so, when God was about to destroy Sodom and He realised that Abraham’s nephew, Lot, and his family were there, the Lord told Abraham about it. This gave Abraham the privilege and opportunity to intercede for them. Are you a friend of Jesus Christ? What is the level of closeness you share with Him? Friends communicate a lot.

      Do you often hear God’s voice? How often does He speak to you using various means of communication? You become His closest friend by serving Him like never before, and He will not leave you in the dark concerning your tomorrow and that of your family.

      Key Point: When your relationship with God moves up to the friendship level, access to divine secrets will become a regular benefit to you.
