RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 4 JULY 2024 TODAY MESSAGE
As God is seated in heaven, He controls everything on earth because the earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1). In Psalm 2:1-4, the Bible says that when enemies try to deal with the anointed of God, He that sits in heaven shall laugh. In other words, when someone threatens a believer, God laughs at the person.
If someone says that you are not going to be promoted, He that sits in the heavens shall laugh. This is because promotion comes neither from the East nor West, but from God alone (Psalms 75:6-7).
If a doctor says your case is hopeless, He that sits in the heavens shall laugh because He already settled your healing thousands of years ago by His stripes (Isaiah 53:5).
If anybody tells you that you will not be successful in life, He that sits in heaven shall laugh because Deuteronomy 28:13 says that you shall be above only and not beneath.
While God is laughing at every evil intention of the devil over your life, you should not be crying, rather, you should be praising Him. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6:27:
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Your worrying will not solve adverse situations.
When God is laughing, you should be laughing too.
You should be mocking the mockers and standing on the ever-sure word of God, knowing fully well that your case is already settled in God.
Don’t cry like people who have no hope; you are a child of the King of all kings. Your Father owns the earth and all its fullness (Psalms 24:1), so there is nothing you need that is beyond your reach.
Philippians 4:6 says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
When you make your requests known to God, do so with thanksgiving. Don’t come to Him as if you have no hope.
James 1:6-7 says that if you come to Him without faith, you should not even think of receiving anything from Him.
Since Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the evidence of things not seen, then you must come with thanksgiving, knowing fully well that your requests are already granted.
This is the right state of a true believer; he or she does not live in fear but in faith because of the consciousness of how big and powerful God is.
OPEN HEAVEN 4 JULY 2024 KEY POINT
When God is laughing at your enemies, you should not be trembling before them. You should be praising Him and laughing too.
