Open Heaven 8 January 2024 TOPIC: New Year Resolution 7
MEMORISE: “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” – 1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)
READ: Ezekiel 14:6-8 (KJV)
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 For every one of the houses of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by myself:
8 And I will set my face against that man, make him a sign and a proverb, and cut him off from the midst of my people, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 26-28
Open Heaven 8 January 2024 MESSAGE
Over the past six days, we have been studying some resolutions I made for this year, and I have been encouraging all users of this devotional to adopt them as well. In my walk with God this year, I will worship Him, ask for His help, humble myself, give to Him, trust Him, and draw closer to Him more than ever. However, all these would be possible if I lived holy more than ever. This year, I am determined never to do anything that will offend God. I will live holy more than ever before!
Amos 3:3 says: “Can two walk together, except they are agreed?” Please check how you have lived in the past years. Do you think God will be happy to come close to you, knowing His eyes cannot behold iniquity (Habakkuk 1:13)?

If you really want to get close to God, and you want Him to solve all your problems this year, then you must repent of all your sins and forsake them. Don’t continue to live in sin and expect God’s help. Shall we continue in sin and expect God’s grace to abound? Apostle Paul’s DePaul response to the question was, “Go: “d!” (Romans 6:1-2). Grace is God’s help and cannot abound upon a sinner.
All your seeds, worship, prayers, and so on that you have decided to do this year will be wasted if you do not live a holy life. In other words, if you do not want all your efforts to live by these resolutions this year to be fruitless, you must live holy. God does not hear the prayer of sinners (Psalm 66:18) nor accept their sacrifices (Isaiah 59:1-2).
Beloved, for all the resolutions we studied over the past six days to produce the desired result, you must be deliberate about living holy more than ever before this year and beyond. This year, I will not only love righteousness more, but will also hate iniquity more. That way, God will anoint me even more than ever (Hebrews 1:9).
The Almighty God will grant you success as you make up your career and adopt the other resolutions we discussed over the past six days, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 8 January 2024 HYMN 23 – Take My Life, And Let It Be
1 Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet is its treasure store.
Take me, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
