Open Heaven 10 April 2025 TOPIC: No More Labouring (2)

MEMORISE: “And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” – Exodus 33:14 (KJV)

READ: Deuteronomy 15:5-6 (KJV)

5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 3-5

Open Heaven 10 April 2025 MESSAGE

Yesterday, I explained that labouring means working so hard and having little or nothing to show for it. Work is easier when there are results. When I go for Mount Zion Hour at the RCCG Headquarters, where I have to lay hands on thousands of people, it is hard work, but I don’t mind because testimonies follow.

When a pastor fasts, prays, preaches, and follows up converts with all of his or her strength, yet the church does not grow, it is a terrible experience. I know this because l have experienced it. In the early days of my ministry, God promised that I would lead a mighty end-time army, but l couldn’t see the army. The church congregation would increase by two members in one week and decrease by four the next week. I organised seminars every month, and many people would be in attendance. However, after the seminars, the congregation would remain small. One day, God asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I replied that I wanted a miracle for every member of my congregation. He instructed me to organise a programme where He would be giving out the miracles. We called it the Holy Ghost Service, and that was how God turned things around for me.

When God speaks concerning a matter, results that human efforts cannot produce are achieved. For example, when we needed N17,000 to roof the first auditorium in Redemption City, I had only N1,000. At the same time, one of the RCCG pastors was building an accommodation for some members of his congregation, and he needed N1,000 to roof it. He came to me to ask me for the money, and I got upset and said, “I need N17,000, and I have only N1,000, and you want to collect it? Please leave my office.” He got up to leave, but God spoke to me and told me to give him the N1,000. Reluctantly, I called him back and gave him the money. As he went away, God said, “Son, why are you grumbling? There were two problems; I solved one through you, and there’s only one left.” Before the day ended, somebody came from another state in the country and said, “I have just collected rent from my tenants, and God said I should bring everything to you.” The money was exactly N17,000!

When you hear God’s voice, obey Him, and leave the rest to Him because your rest from labour and toil lies in your obedience.

Open Heaven 10 April 2025 KEY POINT

God’s voice brings rest, but you won’t enjoy that rest until you obey all He says.

Open Heaven 10 April 2025 HYMN 11 – Standing On The Promises Of Christ Our King

1 Standing on the promises

of Christ, our 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 I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood

For me,

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes

Free,

Standing on the promises of God.

4 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.
