MEMORISE
“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works”.
James 2:18
OPEN HEAVEN 9 August 2024 READ: James 2:14-18 (KJV)
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 22-24
Open Heaven Devotional 9 August 2024 Message
Yesterday, I started teaching on the importance of living by God’s principles. Today, I will conclude the teaching.
I thank God for His grace, but I also thank Him for making me study mathematics before I became born again. If there is anything mathematics teaches you, it is that certain formulas will only work if you meet certain conditions.For example, in a right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of two sides will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
This will always be true, whether on Earth or on the moon. It is foolish for anyone to try to get certain results without first meeting the necessary conditions.
Even Jesus Christ had to be baptized by John the Baptist to fulfil one of the conditions for success in His assignment on Earth (Matthew 3:15).
Do you know that there are many people whose breakthroughs have already been released by God, but they are yet to experience it?

The door they have been asking God to open was already opened a long time ago; God is only waiting for them to do what they need to do to walk in.Unfortunately, many people are wasting the answers to their prayers just because they refuse to obey simple principles.
I have always told my children, even though the Almighty God had said that Sarah would give birth to a son for Abraham and had quickened their dead bodies according to Romans 4:19, if Abraham had not been intimate with her, Isaac would never have been born.
Many miracles have already been released by God to many of His children, but instead of them to do what they need to do to get the miracle, they are being mis-spiritual.
By mis-spiritual, I mean spirituality in the wrong direction. Can you imagine a couple looking for the fruit of the womb not being intimate with each other, but observing prayer vigils daily?
Or a student who has not studied at all, praying all night to pass an exam that is slated for 7am in the morning?
True spirituality does not suspend the senses; in fact, true spirituality births wisdom because wisdom is a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8).I pray for you today, mis-spirituality will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name. The devil will not make you blind to the principles that will birth your breakthrough.
You will be inspired to do everything that you need to do to receive all that the Lord has provided for you this season, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN Standing On The Promises Of Christ My King
1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall, List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

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!
