    Open Heavens 26 September 2016: The Heritage Of The Lord ~ Pastor E.A. Adeboye

    Open Heavens 25 September 2016
    Memorise: And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. Exodus 2:9

    Read: Psalms 127:3-5

    127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

    127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

    127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

    MESSAGE

    The Bible presents the nation of Israel and the Church of God as the chief objects of God's fatherly love. All of humanity have the privilege of becoming God's children through faith and are then encouraged by the Scripture to imitate their heavenly Father in their daily living.
    However, as I have always maintained, you can choose to be anything you want before the Almighty God. You can be just a creature, a dog, or a cow. You can go beyond being a mere creature to becoming a servant. Being a servant gives you more personal access to God. But you could go yet another step to becoming a son of God. Sons have tremendous opportunities that servants do not have. As a son of God, you can become a co-heir with Christ. That means all that God has jointly belongs to Jesus and you. Besides, John 8:35 says sons abide in the house forever. No wonder David in Psalms 23:6 says:
    "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever".

    He could say so because he had a Father-son relationship with the Lord. For such sons, even after leaving the planet earth, Jesus promised to prepare His Father's house for them to stay throughout eternity (John 14:1-3). Sons have eternal right to God's house. Are you a son of God?

    If you abide in God's house, you would automatically flourish. Psalms 92:13 says;
    "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God".

    Beyond being rich or wealthy, you can flourish. Age will not erode your opportunities or harvests. In fact, the older you are, the more flourishing you become. This is not for those who merely visit God's house. It is not for servants but for sons. Some people endure going into God's house or presence. If they were asked to come for a big contract at 9 am, they will be there by 7 am. But if invited to meet with the King of Kings for 8 am, they will stroll into the church by 10 am. This attitude hinders people from attaining the height they were created to achieve. If you find it difficult to stay in God's presence, you can be sure you cannot have access into His Heavenly home. Those who will enter heaven must desire to enter that city not made with hands (Hebrews 11:10, 16). It far excels the best of planet earth to the extent that it is simply incomparable. Do you qualify for Heaven? To what extent do you long for Heaven? How much do you crave to be in God's presence? How much do you enjoy worshipping the Lord?

    Prayer Point:

    Father, please help me to make it to Heaven and to abide in you forever in Jesus’ name.

    HYMN 12: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

    My hope is built on nothing less
    Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
    I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
    But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

    Chorus:
    On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
    All other ground is sinking sand,
    All other ground is sinking sand.

    2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
    I rest on His unchanging grace;
    In every high and stormy gale,
    My anchor holds within the veil.

    Chorus:

    3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
    Support me in the whelming flood;
    When all around my soul gives way,
    He then is all my hope and stay.

    Chorus:

    4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
    Oh, may I then in Him be found;
    Dressed in His righteousness alone,
    Faultless to stand before the throne.

    Chorus.
