OPEN HEAVEN 16 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

In the memory verse for today, God introduced Himself to Moses as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In Yorubaland where I’m from, the meaning of the name of a man gives you deep insight into the kind of person that fellow is.

Thus, in order to get deep insight into who our God really is, we will be looking at this introduction more deeply for the next few days. What is the implication of the fact that God is the God of Abraham? It means that He is a God of blessings (Genesis 12:1-3).

In Genesis 24:34-35, Abrahams servant said, God has blessed my master greatly. Also, the name God of Abraham tells us that He is a covenant-keeping God.

Deuteronomy 7:9 tells us that He is a God who keeps covenants and we see that clearly in the case of Abraham because in Exodus 2:23-24, when the children of Israel were suffering in Egypt, the Bible says that God remembered His covenant with Abraham.

This was even long after Abraham had died. Thus, in Exodus 3:6-12, God decided to do something about the liberation of the children of Israel from Egypt. The God of Abraham is the God of blessings. Therefore, if you serve the God of Abraham, then you are entitled to the blessings of Abraham.

Somehow, some Christians are not enjoying these blessings. The reason may be linked to what God told Abraham in Genesis 17:1: “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect” God had made a covenant with Abraham for over 25 years, but it wasn’t until Abraham began to walk before God perfectly that it took effect.

Genesis 21:5 tells us that Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born, just a little above 9 months after God told him to be perfect. Believe me honestly, if you start living holy, the blessings of Abraham will pursue and overtake you.

Those little sins you still commit will keep on hindering Gods promises from coming to pass in your life if you don’t stop them right away. Those little foxes are spoiling your vine; get rid of them now!

OPEN HEAVEN 16 MAY 2022 HYMN

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my king,

through eternal ages let his praises ring;

glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

standing on the promises of God.

CHORUS

Standing, standing, standing on the promises of

God my Savior; standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

by the living Word of God I shall prevail,

standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,

overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,

resting in my Savior as my all in all,

standing on the promises of God.
