Open Heavens - Bishop Oyedepo

The ark of God symbolises the presence of God. Wherever the ark dwelt, there were tremendous blessings. Consider Obededom. The ark remained with his Family for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his household because of this. 

And the ark of God remained with the Family of Obededom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
1 Chronicles 13:14

The presence of God was what made the difference in Obededom's Family. His presence will keep the heavens over you perpetually open. That is why the enemy constantly tries to get you out of God's presence, so that he can oppress and afflict you. But as long as you remain enveloped in God's presence, all oppositions are converted to opportunities! (Ps. 114:3-7)
God's presence is the answer to an open heaven! It was His presence, I believe, that brought about a mental, psychological and intellectual awakening in Obededom. He must have been so prosperous that David saw it and envied him and finally brought the ark into the city of David (2 Sam. 6:12).
God's presence always triggers off envy, because His presence is always announced by blessings.
Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11
Please understand that the Church is in the midst of an outburst of heavenly blessings, where a little one among us will become like a thousand and a small one, a strong nation. As you celebrate the arrival of the ark, you will step into fullness of joy. Why? In His presence is fulness of joy, and at His right hand there are pleasures (not pressures) forever more! When God came in the midst of Israel, their captivity of four hundred years was turned overnight and gold became their luggage! In the wilderness, because God was with them, their heavens remained open. None was feeble among their tribes. They were not permitted to thirst, for the Rock that produced water followed them. They never hungered, because God rained Manna for them daily. They were covered by a cloud in the day and the pillar of fire by night. They were guided and protected, and the wild beast had no access to them; God's presence was their sufficiency. If God is with you, you must have proofs!
God's presence is always announced by blessings. And when He blesses, it is forever! God blessed Obededom, it was eternal. You too will encounter such blessings as would last you a life time! In the Acts of the Apostles there was none among them that lacked. Why? God's presence was so strong. All that retain the ark have blessings as proofs.

MAY I NOT RUN OFF - Gbile Akanni

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

Image
He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom...
