OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2022 FRIDAY: SLEEPING IN TRAINING?

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2022 MEMORIZE: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1 Peter 5:8

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING ACTS 20:7-12

7. And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

8. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9. And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11, When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

Happy new month Beloved. Welcome to today’s devotional. Thank you for joining us.

Today’s charge for the new month is as regarding sleeping on training. A soldier who sleeps during training sessions will be unable to tackle and surmount every opposing force as He should. Many believers sleep on training. How? Read on to find out.

May the eyes of our understanding be enlightened as we read through in Jesus name.

Happy New Month: Prayers And Declarations For The Month Of July 2022

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Apostle Paul was preaching while a young man named Eutychus was sleeping. Our attention however is not on Paul but on Eutychus. Here was a greatly anointed man of God preaching and he was sleeping. It may look like something to judge him for, but there are many like Eutychus in the Church today.

Many people go to the Church today and sleep throughout the service. They may not be closing their physical eyes, but their spiritual eyes are closed. Some workers are sleeping spiritually while the anointing is flowing.

John 7:38-39 says: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”

The rivers referred to in the Scripture above is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit flows like a river. When He is moving, if you are not conscious of His presence and paying attention, He will flow past you and you would miss your miracle.

Anyone who saw Eutychus and the others leaving the service the next morning would have thought that they were all blessed and fully charged spiritually, not knowing that some of them like Eutychus slept off during the meeting and were leaving just the same way that they came.

This is why many people keep attending powerful crusades and life changing services but their lives have remained the same. Sometimes, the organisers of these services are the ones who actually make it easy for people to sleep when they should be fellowshipping.

When you decorate the Church and make it look like an art gallery, people would be appreciating the art rather than connecting with the Lord. The Church is a place of intimate fellowship with God so let the environment foster that more than anything else.

That is why we decorate our Church auditoriums in The Redeemed Christian Church of God with Scriptures. Everywhere you turn, there is a Bible verse that will catch your attention because we want you to be focused on God and nothing else.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2022 HYMN

O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home;

2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure.
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting Thou art God,
to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in Thy sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.

5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away.
They fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.

6. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be Thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home.
