OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - FRIDAY 14/06/2013 - WHEN HE VISITS BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



WHEN HE VISITS

MEMORY VERSE
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Psalm 114:7

READ
Psalm 114:1-8

Psa 114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Psa 114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

Psa 114:3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

Psa 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

Psa 114:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Psa 114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

Psa 114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Psa 114:8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

MESSAGE
Divine encounters come in different ways but one of the most outstanding forms is when God decides to pay you a visit by Himself. Wherever the King goes, doors open to Him. Psalm 24:7 says,

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Whenever the King of kings wants to come on a visit to His own, He comes in without knocking on the door because He is the DOOR. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the disciples were assembled in a room one day. With the doors shut, Jesus suddenly appeared in their midst without knocking or passing through the door. Being the original Door, He does not need the permission of any door to give Him passage. Doors not some but all open unto Him of their own volition. This is why you need God's personal visitation. When He comes to you, all the doors of progress, success, growth, opportunities, enlargement, promotion etc. that have refused to open to you, will be compelled to open to Him and in the process, they will remain open to you. This season, all good doors that are shut against you shall open to you in Jesus name.

In Acts 12:5-11, when the angel was delivering Peter, he did not need a key to open the door. When Peter rose and followed the angel, the door that had opened to the angel remained open to Peter also. When the door of the Red sea opened, the children of Israel walked through dry ground in the midst of the sea. But how did the sea part? Psalm 114:3 says when the Red sea saw the Almighty God coming, it grew legs and fled; that was how the children of Israel were able to have a thoroughfare in the sea. Doors cannot remain permanently shut to you. In fact, they have no choice if they cannot open because it is you, they will be forced to willingly open because of your divine Visitor. Cry out to God for Him to personally visit you. When He visits you this season, everything will tremble.

PRAYER POINT
Father, You visited many and their lives changed. Visit me today and let my life change for good.
