MEMORISE: “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” – Acts 16:31 (KJV)
READ: Acts 27:21-25 (KJV)
21 But after prolonged abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, it shall be even as it was told me.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 10-13
Open Heaven 5 December 2023 MESSAGE
In our Bible reading for today, when Paul was in a storm and had a visitation from an angel, he said to those around him:
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. – Acts 27:22
I tell people I have three kinds of children: tertiary, secondary, and primary. Generally, especially in Nigeria, most people call me Daddy. I’ll categorize such people as my tertiary children. A notable leader of another religion once wrote me a letter and started the letter by saying, “Dear Daddy.” If a Pastor is a Daddy to leaders of another religion, clearly, such people are tertiary children. I also have secondary children. These are General Overseers of other denominations who love me. Finally, I have primary children: these are members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, and I always boast that the same divine insurance policy that covers me covers them. The same angelic protection I get is what they get, just like Paul when he was in the storm, which we read about in our Bible reading today.

A few years ago, while in Zambia and on our way to a program, a police escort rode ahead of us to help clear the traffic but got hit by a car that crushed the motorcycle beyond repair and flung the rider across the road. He was picked up dead from the road. I felt terrible. I said, “My Daddy, this young man is with me; he is on my team, clearing traffic for me. Please save him”. If it were our Church program, I would have turned back, but I didn’t want to disappoint the people who invited me from Nigeria, so I went on to the program. All the while, my mind was on the policeman. After the program, I enquired after the policeman and was told that he had come back to life – no broken bone or scratch on his body at all. That day, I cleared the group insurance policy in action.
If the devil tries to touch any of your loved ones, call on God to cover them with the same insurance policy with which He protects you, and He will answer you.
Open Heaven 5 December 2023 PRAYER POINT
Father, in the same way, You protect me, please extend that protection to all my friends and family members, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 5 December 2023 HYMN 5 – Blessed Assurance
1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending, bring from above;
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3 Perfect submission; all is at rest,
I, in my Saviour, am happy and blessed,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
