Powerful Declaration for Open Heaven 8 August 2024
Open Heaven for Today 8 August 2024 Message:
Many Christians complain that things are not going well for them even though it has been a while since they confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
The question I often ask such Christians is, “Since you received Jesus Christ into your life, have you been living by His principles?”
It is a good thing to have Jesus in your life, however, you must ensure that you also live by His principles if you want to experience positive changes in all aspects of your life.
No matter how spiritual you are, certain principles must be applied for certain things to work in your life.
For example, the Bible says that he that does not work should not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
No matter how prayerful you are, if you are lazy, you may not escape poverty (Proverbs 6:10-11).
Shortly after I became born again, tapes of many pastors teaching the power of positive confession were circulating around the Christian community.
They would say things like, “You will become whomever you say you are. Just confess good; say what you want to see in your life.”
Although this message is correct, many took it the wrong way. Lazy Christians continued being lazy, while the uneducated ones did not pursue education to enhance their ability to earn.
They all just kept confessing, “I am rich, I am not poor,” “l am a landlord, I will never beg,” and so on, but nothing changed in their lives.
Read Previous Day Open Heaven Devotional: Open Heaven 7 August 2024:
If you want change, you must adopt the principles of God. One of His principles is in Luke 6:38; if you don’t sow seeds, you shouldn’t expect a harvest.
Being stingy and yet praying for God to bless you is like being a farmer who did not plant any seed but who goes to his farm every morning to pray that yams should grow there.
During the season of harvest, when he digs the ground to get yams, he will find nothing there because he planted nothing.
Some other principles of God which I will like to mention are: Do unto others what you want them to do to you (Matthew 7:12), exercise control over your mouth (Psalms 141:3) and your appetite (Proverbs 23:1-3), let others praise you, don’t praise yourself (Proverbs 27:2), always do things in steps, start small and grow from there (Zechariah 4:10), whatever you embark on, ensure that you plan properly for it to be achieved successfully (Luke
14:28). These and many more are principles of life that may not necessarily lead you to hell if they are not practised, but will definitely help you to live a better life on earth if they are.

Open Heaven for Today 8 August 2024 HYMN 30:
HYMN 30:
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 The Great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
Sweetest note in seraph song;
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Jesus, blessed Jesus!
2 Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,
Redemption wrought by Jesus.
3 All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
Oh, how my soul delights to hear
The precious name of Jesus!
Jesus Trends Salvation Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
If you joined in that life-changing prayer, congratulations! We are happy that you have surrendered your life to Jesus!
