1Ki 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

Open Heaven 26 November 2017 (Sunday) Daily Devotional Message With Hymn

In John 21:1-13, we have an amazing account of Jesus inviting His disciples to come and dine of a meal He had already prepared. The Lord Jesus Christ loves good food and He prepares the best of dishes in the whole universe. To catch a glimpse of how those meals in Heaven will be, just take a look at the bread and wine that is used during the Holy Communion.

By the time the Lord takes them over and they are transformed into spiritual food, the elements of these erstwhile ordinary items will begin to do what no ordinary meal can do in the life of those who partake of it.

In today’s Bible reading, after the mass slaughter of the prophets of Baal, Jezebel sought to kill Elijah. He therefore fed for his life until he was so exhaustedthat he lay down under a juniper tree and slept off. Then two heaven baked meals were set before him and he

ate them. What was the result? 1 Kings 19:8 says,

And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. That meal provided him physical sustenance to the extent that his body survived without food and water for 40 days and nights!

Medical science will tell you that it is impossible to live without water for three weeks, but Elijah did this after he took heaven-baked bread! Also, that mea revived him spiritually. The same person who was contemplating suicide was now able to ascend the mountain of God. Depression was completely gone away from him! Open Heaven 

Do you know that the Holy Communion, which assumes a spiritual dimension after the Greatest Cook touches its elements, is capable of taking care of various sickness and diseases?

By this Heavenly meal, you can break the yoke of besetting sins and live righteously before God. Through it, various impossible situations can be made possible. How often have you availedyourself of the limitless opportunities provided by the Holy Communion?
How often do you attend a meeting where it is served? When you attend such meetings, do you release your faith along with your requests, or do you withhold your faith? From today, take steps to enjoy the heavenly baked meal that is the Holy Communion.

The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus.

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung,

Your many sins are all forgiven,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heaven
and wear a crown with Jesus.

All glory to the risen Lamb

No other name but Jesus;
