OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-MONDAY-12/09/2016-THE ALMIGHTY GOD-BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
THE ALMIGHTY GOD
Memorise
For the
scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up,
that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared
throughout all earth. Romans 9:17
Read
Exodus
5:1-4,
1 And afterward Moses and
Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord
God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in
the wilderness.
2 And
Pharaoh said, who is the LORD that
I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
3 And
they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee,
three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God; lest he fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the sword.
4 And
the king of Egypt said unto them, wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the
people from their works? Get you unto your burdens.
KJV
MESSAGE
God is the creator of Heaven and earth. He
is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and last, the
one who knows all things and can do all things. All power in Heaven and on
earth belongs to Him, which is why He is called the Almighty God. Though it is
not possible for man to fully comprehend God, but a better understanding of His
creative power, wisdom and authority can be made visible by considering the
works of His hands according to Psalms
8:3-4:
“When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that
thou visitest him?”
Consequent to the almightiness of God,
whenever He says yes, one cannot help but wonder why anyone would try to oppose
Him. But from time immemorial, human beings have been found in opposition to
the Almighty God, all to their own detriment. Striving against God is the
fruitless opposition of the ungodly to God’s will and purpose and to the
struggle of the righteous as they seek to obey God’s commandments.
Many so-called Christians today are equally
striving against God by holding a worldview that is contrary to the Word of God
and by their sinful words and immoral actions. Incidentally, some are
ignorantly striving against God like Apostle Paul in Acts 26:14
“And when we were all
fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew
tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick
against the pricks.”
It does not matter who anybody may do, if God
says yes, no one can say no. God says in Isaiah 46:10
“…. My counsel shall
stand, and I will do all my pleasure.”
Also Proverbs
19:21 says:
“There are many
devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall
stand.”
Do not resist the Holy Spirit, or be found
arguing with God. Don’t ever try to attack God’s people or practice unbelief,
lest you be found guilty of striving against God.
Prayer Point
Father, please don’t
let me ever be found in opposition to your Word in Jesus’ name.
