OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - FRIDAY - 25/10/2013 - EXPOSING THE CROOKED PATHS BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



EXPOSING THE CROOKED PATHS

MEMORY VERSE
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain
Isaiah 40:4

READ
Isaiah 40:3-5

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain

Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

MESSAGE
According to John 3:19-21, the light of the Spirit not only exposes and destroys activities of the evil ones, but also manifests good deeds.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:21

If you are living right and pleasing God, never be far from the light of the Spirit because it can put a seal of divine approval over your works. Such works will surely be rewarded by God. In other words, if you want to do the works that will not be burnt with fire on the last day, expose them to the light of the Spirit as contained in the word of God. Any work you do that tallies with the dictates of God's word will not go unrewarded. When your good works are approved by the light of the Spirit, you may receive divine advertisement.

Moreover, the light or fire of the Spirit not only exposes the serpent, but also kills it. A man realised he was just swelling up. Everywhere he went for healing, he could not find the cause of the problem. So one day, he went to a man of God for prayer and was told he had restitution to make. On further probing, the man told the man of God that his wife died during child birth, and that the product of that delivery was a baby girl. The man grew to love her so much because she looked every inch like her mother. Eventually, when she grew older and got married, her husband began to beat her so the father took her away and hated the young son-in-law. By the time he came for prayers, the light of God by the Spirit of God revealed it and said that if he does not forgive, he will not be healed. Initially, he was reluctant but later on, he went and apologised to the son-in-law and he received his healing. When the light of the Spirit shines upon you, it will expose you to areas you need to restitute. It will show you the crooked paths to be straightened so that you can truly prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.

KEY POINT
For some ailments to go, restitution is the only medicine
