Topic: Breaking Barriers By The Blessing
Scripture: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee,…And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son,…and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. Genesis 12:2
Thought For The Day: Do not be afraid of daring the undareable if the Blessing of God is upon you.
Recorded events in the Scripture and diverse experiences of life have made it clear that it takes a greater force, which is the force of God’s Blessing, to overcome the forces working against one’s fulfilment in life.
In Genesis Chapter Eleven, the Bible makes it clear that Abraham’s father, Terah, was going to Canaan but he died on the way, in the land of Haran. He had three sons: Nahor, Abram, and Haran, the father of Lot. Haran died before his father. Nahor existed without relevance. So, in their family, they had the trinity of setbacks – starting without finishing, living without relevance and dying before time or premature death. That trinity of calamity was in existence in Abraham’s family before the Blessing came upon him, exempted him, distinguished him and made him the first to fulfil destiny. So, the Blessing of God in the life of a person forbids the existence of embargoes. It empowers the blessed to exist as barrier breakers, obstacle crossers, limit overcomers and territory takers. It also establishes the blessed as generational pace setters, standard bearers and reference points.
Beloved, when the Blessing is upon you, you reach where no one in your family has reached. So, do not be afraid of daring the undareable if the Blessing of God is upon you.
Today, I declare to you that where your family members have never reached in life, you are reaching there by the power of the Blessing, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Do not be afraid of daring the undareable if the Blessing of God is upon you.
Assignments:
1. Always believe that your case is different.
2. Dare the impossible and hold unto the Word of God concerning your life for a breakthrough.
3. Refuse to confess negatively; be positivistic, enthusiastic and optimistic.

Topic: Learn The Word By Doing It
Matthew 26:55 “In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.”
The four gospels refer to Jesus teaching 43 times, preaching 19 times, and preaching and teaching in the same verse, six times. This indicates that Jesus spent twice as much time teaching as He did preaching. Teaching is the basic building block for making disciples. Jesus was making disciples, not just converts.
The Greek word for “disciple” literally means “a learner,” and indicates “learning by endeavor” or what we would call “on-the-job training.” Jesus said in John 8:31, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” Anyone who meets this criterion is Jesus’ disciple.
“Jailhouse religion,” where a person is only sorry he got caught and is trying to get out of a bad situation, will not produce true discipleship. It takes a forsaking of all to be Jesus’ disciple. Jesus wants us to “count the cost.” It is definitely a commitment.
What the Lord has started in you, He will also continue and complete. That is not to say that your success will be automatic; we have to cooperate with what God is wanting to do in our lives. Our faithfulness may always be suspect, but God’s faithfulness is never in question. It is always God’s will to continue and complete the good work He began in us.

Topic: Real Security
The foundation of God standeth sure . . . — 2 Timothy 2:19
On campus the quickest way to security is through the crowd. Precisely where students talk about being independent and on their own, you will find them practicing the most rigid conformity in dress, in speech, in moral attitudes, and in thinking. Sometimes they follow fashion at the expense of integrity. They dread to be alone. They do not want to stand out or be different. They want to conform.
After they graduate from college, many of these young people want nothing more than a good job with a big firm, and a home somewhere in suburbia. But they don’t find security then either. Only Jesus Christ can give you the security that you are looking for.
Prayer for the day: Long-sought-after security I found only in Your abiding love, my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Topic: Glory not in Self
Memorise: “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”– Matthew 23:12
Read: Isaiah 14:12-17, Luke 18:10-13 (KJV)
Isaiah 14:12-17:
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Luke 18:10-13:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 5-7, Luke 22:14-38
Thursday MESSAGE:
To glory in self is to exalt one’s own worth above what it really is. It is the act of perceiving yourself as overly important. A person who glories in self is a person who thinks he stands on his own merits and by his own power. This is the reason why the father of lies, Satan, was cast down from heaven. Indeed, Satan is a classic example of someone who gloried in self. He exalted himself above what he really was, and he started to think of himself as better than everyone else, including God. Glorying in self has its roots in self-deception; it starts when a man deceives himself into thinking and believing in a false idea of himself.
Glorying in self might not be obvious at first. It is a very dangerous character flaw that sometimes creep in on children of God until it leads them to doom. What then are the signs that a person glories in self? One indicator is when you feel the need to parade in public what should and can be done in private. This was one of the issues Jesus had with the Pharisees. They would rather pray in public than pray behind closed doors, and when they fasted, they ensure that it showed on their faces, just so that everyone knew they were fasting. Even today, some people ensure that every good thing they do is done from the rooftops, so that people will see and praise them. In addition, people who glory in self tend to talk about themselves a lot. This is majorly because they feel the need to constantly list out their accomplishments and achievements. They are always quick to say “I” even when “we” is the approximate thing to say. People who glory in self honestly feel that they are better than everyone else.
Luke 18:10-13 shows a clear difference between a self-glorying person and a humble person. When humble people see themselves as needing God’s grace and mercy, self-glorying people think that their actions are perfect enough to dignify them before God and man.
A self-glorying person will never get anything from God. Only a person who recognises his or her need for God’s help and asks for it will get it. Glorying in self is very dangerous because at the end of the day, every single thing that the person thinks he or she has accomplished will be taken away, and shame, disappointment and humiliation will be the portion of such a fellow.
Thursday Prayer Point:
Father, please remove every trace of self-glory in me.
Open Heaven 15 November 2018 Thursday Hymn 10: My Faith Looks Up To Thee
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!

TOPIC: Rejecting Partial Miracles
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 8:22-26
MEMORY VERSE: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” – Philippians 1:6
The MESSAGE:
To have anything in a partial form simply means to have it incomplete, and it also means to have it unfinished. To reject it is to say ‘No’, to refuse, to renounce and to discard. In the Fire Scripture, the blind man’s restored sight was not complete. If Jesus had not asked the man that simple question, the man could have been seeing men as trees, thinking that is the way normal people see. Or if the man was in a hurry to depart from Jesus, he would have left Him without receiving complete sight. The so-called miracles most of us are enjoying today may simply be termed partial miracles. To explain better, miracles do occur, but the problem is that majority of Christians are victims of partial miracles. When Jacob encountered the angel, the angel wanted to leave after the partial encounter, but Jacob refused, for he knew the encounter was not yet complete. He declared, “I will not let you go until you bless me…”
Miracles are partial when you receive the promise, the revelation, the dream but no physical manifestations; they are also partial when you begin to receive the signs that the miracles have started happening physically but get terminated before it is completed. Miracles are partial when you begin to tell people that God had started working: you got the signs but no perfection. Miracles are partial when you have manifestation during prayer sessions, demons jumped out, but physically no signs and wonders follow. Miracles are partial when your case is being mentioned by the man of God, but no physical manifestation occurs. A sister believing God for the fruit of the womb had dreams several times that she was pregnant after series of prayers, but she was still awaiting the blessing of a baby. Men of God might have confirmed this with good revelation but no physical manifestation.
Partial miracles can sometimes be more dangerous than lack of miracles. It may be allowed by God to test our faith, perseverance and our calmness. Sometimes these partial miracles are due to satanic interferences. Inability to pray until something happens may be a reason for partial miracle. Over familiarity with God, not recognising and acknowledging the Holy Spirit, as the Chief Executive Officer, complaints, murmurings and having little faith are among the reasons for partial miracles. As you pray the following prayers, the Lord Jesus shall give you a perfect and second touch, in Jesus’ name.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WHEN THERE IS NO CHANGE AND REPENTANCE, THERE WILL BE NO COMPLETE DELIVERANCE.
PROPHETIC WORD:
By the power that perfected the creation of the earth, your life shall be perfected.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. O Lord, arise and give me my complete miracles, in the name of Jesus.
2. Powers accusing me before my God, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
3. Wicked spirits in the heavenly places saying “No” to my complete miracles, die, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. Powers of failure and disappointment at the edge of breakthroughs, die by fire, in Jesus’ name.
5. My Father, lead me out of my village’s hindrances and darkness into my city of miracles, in Jesus’ name.
6. As from today, I refuse to see men as trees, in the name of Jesus.
7. My Father, make me whole and complete all You have started in my life, in Jesus’ name.
