OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-MONDAY-04/01/2016-DAY FOUR MIRACLE-BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
DAY FOUR MIRACLE
Memorise:
And God made two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made
the stars also.Genesis 1:16
Read:
Genesis 1:14-19
14 And God said, let
there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them
be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and
it was so.
16 And God made
two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to
rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule
over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and
God saw that it was good.
19 And the
evening and the morning were the fourth day.
KJV
MESSAGE
Our God is a God of distinction; He is not an author of confusion. A man
chooses to be in confusion when he does not do the right things as ordered by
God. When God creates, He creates with precision and purpose. He created lights
for a purpose and darkness for another purpose. God commanded:
“And let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Genesis 1:14
Today, the philosophy of relativism
is giving the Christian faith deadly blows, and believers, particularly
custodians of the Christian faith (the ministers), are doing almost nothing
about it. The miracle of the fourth day saw to it that there would be no
confusion on the earth. When God wanted to create man for example, the Bible
says:
“So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Genesis 1:27
It is amazing that some
theologians and Bible scholars these days say that some men are trapped in
women’s bodies and vice versa, hence their craving for same sexual
relationship. Please let them know that God does not make mistakes, unless
their God is different from the Christian God. The Christian God is a perfect
God of distinction. He created the day for work and the night to rest. If by
any reason we do not rest in one night, the following day should compensate for
that loss of rest. Failure to observe this produces stress, sickness and
ultimately death. Little wonder the life expectancy in the last fifty years has
been in decline. The achievement of forty years is realized in fewer than
thirty with a price of dying early. The God of distinction in His word
commanded:
“Wherefore come out from among them, and
be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
2nd Corinthians 6:17-18
The implication of this
scripture is that the Church must begin to see life the way God sees it. We
have mixed many profane things with sacred ones. We have been engulfed with the
idea of relativism. This is not the mind of God. As a believer, how far have
you been carried away by the present age? We should not be deceived that the
God of distinction has lowered His standard. He has not.
Action Point
Look into your life and see where you have
compromised the expected distinctive life you ought to live as a Christian.
Repent and come on board the train of holiness again.
