Open Heaven 4 December 2017 Daily Devotional Message With Hymn
If you are sure of your salvation from sin, you need to be grateful to God. The reason is that there is nothing else in the whole wide world that can transform a sinner into a saint other than the Name of Jesus and the power of His Blood.
Acts 4:12 says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved.”
No hero from any country can save you; neither can any prophet from any age or dispensation deliver you. No amount of money can buy you out of Hell, and no level of good works or moral uprightness can redeem you either. Only faith in the Name of Jesus and faith in the cleansing power of His Blood can save you.
Thank God that Jesus fully paid the price of our redemption! If He had only paid
in part, you can be sure that no one would have been saved today, going by Satan’s antecedents.
However, Jesus fully paid for our redemption Hallelujah! To show that the price has been paid in full,shortly before He died on the cross, He publicly declared “It is finished!” (John 19:30). Therefore, you ought to daily thank God for your salvation.

How often do you appreciate Him for saving your soul? Today, many believers celebrate their birthdays, graduation from school, promotion at the office, appointments, winning big contracts and other major achievements in life, but many of these people forget to even say “Thank You Jesus for the salvation of my soul”.
This is the benefit that should give you the greatest joy! After the 70 disciples sent out by the Lord for evangelism returned with fantastic testimonies of the success of their outing, the Lord shocked them by telling them that they were rejoicing over what was not the main issue.

of their joy should be: Not withstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20

HOW SWEET THE NAME OF JESUS
Verse 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away our fear.Verse 2
It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast;
’tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.Verse 3
o Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise l bring.Verse 4
How weak the effort of my heart,
How cold my warmest thought
Hut when see you as you are,
I’ll praise you asloughtVerse 5
Till then I would your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul death.
