OPEN HEAVENS

Memorise:
And the Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless the work of thine hand: and thou shall lend unto many nations, and thou shall not borrow. .. Deuteronomy 28:12

Read:
Matthew 3:16-17

Message

There is a difference between working under open heavens and working under closed heavens. Today's memory verse says that when the heavens are opened over you, they will give the rain in due season; you will get a harvest from your work, and as a result, you will begin to lend to nations. When the heavens are closed, according to Deuteronomy 28:23-24, the rain that falls will be like powder, and your efforts will be useless.

The way to experience open heavens, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:i-2, is to hearken diligently unto the word of the Lord and to observe and do all that He commands, One of His commands is in Malachi 3:10:

   Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

When the heavens are opened over a person, everything he or she touches will begin to prosper. When you live a holy life and do the will of God, the heavens will open over you. When Peter allowed Jesus to use his boat and then obeyed His instruction to let down his nets for a catch, his obedience led to an overflowing miracle. However, because Peter had operated under closed heavens for so long, he let down only one net. Even with that, he caught a great multitude of fishes(Luke 5:1-7); imagine what would have happened if he had let down many nets as Jesus instructed. In the name that is above every other name, I pray that you will hear God's voice concerning your next level and obey His instructions.

Prayer is another thing that causes a believer to walk under open heavens. When Jesus went to River Jordan to be baptised by John the Baptist, He did what other people didn't do when they were being baptised: He prayed.

   Now when all the people were baptised, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,   ...Luke 3:21

While others entered the water and came out under closed heavens, Jesus prayed as He went into the water and came out under an open heaven. Spending time in fervent prayers will give you results that others do not have because the efectual fervent prayer of a righteous man has great power and produces wonderful results (James 5:16).

Bible In One Year:
1 Kings 6-7

Hymn:
There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing

Prayer Point:
Father, I pray for the grace to pray fervently and obey you diligently so that I can live under open heavens, in Jesus' name.

King James Version

Matthew 3:16-17

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: [17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
RCCG Hymn

There shall be showers of

  1. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    This is the promise of love;
    there shall be seasons relreshing,
    Sent from the Saviour above.


    2. Showers of blessing,
    Showers of blessing we need;
    Mercy drops round us are falling.
    Bitt for the showers ive plead.


  2. "There shall be showers of blessing"
    Precious reviving again;
    Over the hills and the valleys,
    Sound of abundance of rain.
  3. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Send them upon ns. Oh Lord!
    Grant to us now a refreshing:
    Come and now honour Thy Word.
  4. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Oh, that today they might fall.
    Now, as to God, we're confessing.
    No was on Jesus we call!
  5. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    If we but trust and obey;
    There shall be seasons relresliing.
    If we let God have His way.
