Open Heaven 21 December 2023: Don’t Box God In II
MEMORISE: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:20
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Some people think they have God all figured out.
They think they know all that there is to know about Him and how He does His things.
After a lot of encounters with God, plenty of sufferings for His work and even episodes of being stoned to death while preaching the gospel, Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:10:
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death”.
When you go for a service, how much you get from it can be limited by what you think.
If you expect that the Pastor will mention your own particular case and he doesn’t, that is not proof that God has not answered your prayer.
God can decide to work loudly or silently; all He requires from you is faith, not an analysis of how He will work. He said in 2 Corinthians 5:7:
“For we walk by faith, not by sight”.
There was a testimony of a lady who was born with so many abnormalities – including one lung instead of two, and her heart being on the right side of her body instead of the left.
As such, she struggled with her health from the day she was born.
Finally, somebody recommended a hospital in Dubai, but she decided to go to the Holy Ghost Service first.
Nothing special happened in relation to her case.
Afterwards, she went on to Dubai as she had planned.
When she got there, the doctors examined her and had to ask what she actually came in for, because they could not see anything wrong with her.
She thought the people there didn’t know what they were saying so she went to the American Hospital in Dubai and they also examined her and said she could not be the same person whose case they had received from Nigeria and were expecting, because for her, they could see her heart on the left and there were two lungs there, not one.
If she had assumed that, because I had not mentioned her case at that Holy Ghost Service, then God was not interested in her, she would have missed her miracle.
Don’t box God in. You will not lose your miracle, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT: Father, please help me not to live by sight, but by faith at all times, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: James 1-5
