Open Heaven 20 December 2024 TOPIC: The Lord Who Provides For You
MEMORISE: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
READ: 2 Corinthians 9:8-11 (KJV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: James 1-5
Open Heaven 20 December 2024 MESSAGE
God has a provision for all your needs even before you ask Him. For example, God went ahead of Abraham to provide a ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. This was the point where Abraham identified God as the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14). I pray that the Lord will meet you at every point of your need, in Jesus’ name.

Several years ago, I received my gratuity from the government, and I was excited because it was a lot of money. I had just become the General Overseer of the RCCG, and the church could barely pay me a salary, so things were quite tough at the time. While I was rejoicing, I remembered that I was now under a new management, so I turned to God and said, “Father, what do you want me to do with this money?” I thought He would ask me to pay my tithe, give an offering, and do whatever I wanted with the rest. However, He said that I should divide the money into three parts and give them to three different ministries. Then, He made a promise to me saying, “Son, I will be your source.” He has been my source ever since. Even when it looks like I am stranded, God always shows up with His timely provision. In Genesis 17:1, God reveals Himself as Jehovah El-Shaddai, the God who is more than enough. I pray that Jehovah El-Shaddai will be your source, in Jesus’ name.
Sometime ago, I travelled to minister in the United States of America. After I finished ministering in one place, I was to fly to the next town for another ministration. However, when the plane was about to take off, it began to emit smoke and we had to disembark. The people in the next town where I was to minister were already gathering, and there were no commercial planes available at that time to fly into the town. Suddenly, the pilot of a jet that belonged to someone I know came around, and I asked him about his boss. When he heard about what had happened with my flight, he immediately told his boss, who asked him to take me to where I was going. God, the One who provides for me, already had an alternative plane waiting for me because He knew I would need it.
Beloved, never worry about your needs. Put your total trust in God, and He will show Himself as Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah El-Shaddai in your life.
Open Heaven 20 December 2024 PRAYER POINT
Jehovah Jireh, please never let me lack or be in want, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 20 December 2024 HYMN 27 – What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
You will find a solace there.
