Open Heavens 19th Jan 2018 READ: 1 Samuel 17:32-37

32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the
flock:

35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the
bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall
be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And
Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

Open Heaven 19 January 2018 Daily Devotional Message With Hymn

Since Satan was cast out of heaven, he has been waging war against everything that
represents God and godliness on the earth
(Matthew 16:23, 2 Timothy 3:12).

Satan was cast out because he decided to rebel against the Almighty (Isaiah 14:12-15).

His currentgame plan is to deceive as many people as possible into rebelling against God, so that they will also join him in the Lake of Fire, which is the eternal place of punishment
prepared for him and his cohorts (Matthew
25:41, Revelation 20:10). Read Rccg Fasting Day 9 Prayer Points

To destroy the work of the devil on earth and to manifest the plan of God for mankind, God has chosen to raise an army to Himself among men. Read Open Heavens 18 January 2018

If you have surrendered your life to Christ, you are part of this army. As a soldier of God’s army, in Jeremiah 51:20, God
declares these words to you:

“Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;”

The nations and kingdoms in this
declaration are not just physical, they are spiritual. Open Heaven 17 January 2018

The Holy Spirit made this clear to us in Ephesians 6:12, and He also teaches us
that the weapon with which we wage war in God’s army are not physical weapons (2
Corinthians 10:4-5). Read: Open Heaven 20 January 2018

1 Samuel 17:43b says,
“And the Philistine cursed David by his
gods.”

As God’s foot soldier, you need to know your God through and through, because
only those who know their God can perform valiantly at the battlefront (Daniel 11:32).

Because David knew his God, even without a sword in his hand, he boldly replied Goliath with these words of faith in 1 Samuel
17:45-46:
“…I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the LORD
deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee...”

Open Heaven 19 January 2018 HYMN 14: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER

1. Onward Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

2. At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one Body we—
One in faith and Spirit,
One charity.

4. Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honour
Unto Christ, the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
