MESSAGE: – Open Heaven 16 November 2021 Tuesday Daily Devotional

God invested two major attributes in man, namely: creating him in His image and making him lord over the universe. God thus prepared man to occupy the position of a junior partner with Him, giving him the authority to name all.  

creatures, as seen in Genesis 2:19: “And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.”

The Scripture above shows clearly that God had, from the beginning of time, charged man with the responsibility of overseeing His creation. I pray that from now, you will live according to Gods expectations of you, in Jesus name.

In today’s Bible reading, the Lord commanded Moses to take offerings from the children of Israel for the building of the Tabernacle.

God is still making demands on us – His children by faith, for His projects. It is left to us to respond according to the ability God gives to us. One other truth we must learn from the story of the children of Israel is that everything God demanded from them had already been provided for, by God Himself.

When the children of Israel were leaving Egypt, they got so much treasure from the Egyptians that the Bible says the Israelites spoiled them.

Exodus 12:35-36 says: “And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.”

Whatever blessing we have is primarily for Kingdom projects including our intellectual, physical and spiritual capabilities. The Lord endowed Queen Esther with such irresistible beauty and wisdom that she was the choice of the king and later became the mouthpiece of her people – the Jews, for deliverance from the hatred of Haman.

Find out the areas in which Gods projects need your urgent attention; go ahead and meet those needs. God bless you as you do so, in Jesus name.

Open Heaven 16 November 2021 Hymn

HYMN: MUST I GO AND EMPTY-HANDED

1. Must I go and empty handed?
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him
Lay no trophy at His feet?

CHORUS:
Must I go and empty handed?
Must I meet my Saviour so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him?
Must I empty handed go

2. Not at death I shrink or falter
For my Saviour saves me now
But to meet Him empty handed
Thought of that now clouds my brow.

3. Oh, the years of sinning wasted
Could I but recall them now
I would give them to my Saviour
To His will I’d gladly bow.

4. O ye saints, arouse, be earnest
Up and work while yet ’tis day
Ere the night of death o’er take thee
Strive for souls while still you may.
