OPEN HEAVEN 8 OCTOBER 2024 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ PRAYERS II
MEMORISE
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26
READ: Joel 2:25-26:
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 8 OCTOBER 2024 TODAY MESSAGE
Today, I will conclude my teaching on ‘impossible’ prayers. There is a popular saying that an opportunity, once lost, can never be regained. The fellow who said that did not put God in the equation. With God, nothing is impossible. He can restore the unrestorable.
You might have lost an opportunity in the past and now you think that it is impossible to regain that opportunity. However, there is nothing impossible with God.
In Ezekiel 37:1-11, God restored life to dry bones. God can restore that opportunity that you think is long gone to you if you have faith.
He specialises in doing the impossible.
When I was studying at the University of Lagos, I applied to the Federal Ministry of Education for a scholarship to pursue a Master’s degree.
Time passed, and I never got a response from the ministry. Somehow, I raised the money for my tuition, and life went on. When I was close to obtaining the Master’s degree, I met someone l used to know back when I was a games master in a secondary school. He was a games master at another school, and we had met when both of our schools were involved in a competition.
As we talked, I found out that he now worked at the Federal Ministry of Education. I told him, “You people are very tough at the ministry. I applied for a scholarship, and I wasn’t even called for an interview.” He told me that he would look into it. I thought I would get a letter asking me to come for an interview, but to my surprise, the letter I got was to tell me that I had been awarded the scholarship. Since I had already paid my tuition, I bought a land and built my first house with the money I was awarded.
God used a casual meeting to restore an opportunity that I thought was long gone, and it led to me building my first house.
What you may have lost could be more serious.
If you have lost your first love for Christ, and the passion and love that you had for Him at the beginning seems to have died, God will restore your love for Him today, in Jesus’ name. You can love Him far more than you ever did. All you have to do is cooperate with Him as He guides you on what to do for that love to be restored
KEY POINT
God can reverse the irreversible.
