TOPIC: THE GOOD GROUND

MEMORISE:
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. Mark 4:8

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Today, I will discuss what it means to sow on good ground. Mark 4:20 tells us that the seeds which fell on good ground brought forth a harvest. This implies that they did not fall by the wayside, they were watered by God, and they were not suffocated by thorns. For you to sow on good ground and reap bountiful harvests, you must do the following:

1. Honour God with your resources and obey all His principles for financial success.

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 2. Cheerfully support God’s work financially. Giving towards God’s work can be by supporting a kingdom project, blessing a church, or sowing into the lives of God’s servants.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 3. Give to the poor and the needy. When you stretch out your hands to bless the less privileged, God blesses you in return. Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

Proverbs 19:17, ESV 4. Be generous. Generosity attracts God’s blessings; whatever you give to others, you will receive in multiple folds.

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

Proverbs 19:17, ESV 4. Be generous. Generosity attracts God’s blessings; whatever you give to others, you will receive in multiple folds.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

Proverbs 11:25 5. Wait for God’s instructions before making financial decisions. When you seek His face before making decisions, He will guide you along the right path, but those who hastily make deals or investments without seeking God get their fingers burnt.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Beloved, if you have been sowing your seeds by the wayside, on stony ground, or among thorns, the good news is that if you change your ways and start living by the principles above, you will experience the harvest that comes from sowing on good ground. I pray that the Lord will restore all that you may have lost from sowing wrongly, and your seeds will produce great harvests from now, in Jesus’ name

REFLECTION:

Have you been sowing on good ground?

TOPIC: THE THORNY GROUND

MEMORISE:
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mark 4:7

READ: Mark 4:18-19
¹⁸ And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Today, I will continue my discussion on the different kinds of soils by examining thorny grounds. Thorns are dangerous, and they choke everything they come in contact with.

When people lead lifestyles that drain them financially because they want to show off, they are sowing on thorny ground. For example, such people may rent apartments that their income can hardly sustain, buy expensive clothes and jewellery that they cannot afford and get into unnecessary debt just to sustain their fake lifestyles.

When you live an extravagant life, you are putting your money in thorny ground. An adage says, ‘Cut your coat according to your cloth. Beloved, you must learn to live within your means and not make lifestyle decisions based on resources you do not have – some people fall into this trap because of their circle of friends. The Scripture says that blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1). If you have friends who spend lavishly without counting the cost, you might follow suit and end up in debt.

Thorns can also refer to things that cause pockets to have holes. When the Israelites returned from exile in Babylon, they started building the temple, and at some point, they stopped and concentrated only on building their houses and empires. Haggai rebuked them for becoming sel fcentred and neglecting God’s house, telling them that they will never be satisfied with the things they have because of their attitude (Haggai 1:4-6).

God will not release His wisdom for financial abundance to those who will consume the wealth He gives them on their lusts. If all you care about is yourself, you are filling your ground with thorns because selfishness chokes God’s blessings upon a man’s life. Many people pray and fast for financial breakthroughs; however, few receive financial wisdom for such breakthroughs because God cannot trust them not to waste the wealth He gives them on their lusts. Can God trust you to continue to put Him first after He has blessed you financially? Will you still care for His kingdom when you arrive at your desired financial destination?

Beloved, ask the Lord to remove any attitude that tends to choke His blessings in your life and promise Him that you will always put Him first so that He can pour His blessings on you.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, search my heart and take away every thorny attitude that will keep me from accessing your wisdom for financial abundance, in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: THE STONY GROUND

MEMORISE
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
Mark 4:5

READ: Mark 4:16-17
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

In continuation of my discussion from yesterday about the different kinds of soils, I will examine stony grounds today. The major problem with a stony ground is that it does not retain water sufficiently for the seeds planted in it to grow. Water is needed for seeds to germinate, even though it is God who will determine the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-8).

In Amos 4:7-8, the Lord said that if He decides to withhold the rain, a city will soon go into famine and will start begging another city, where it has continued to rain, for food.

When people invest in ventures that God is not involved in, they are planting seeds on stony grounds. When you consider such ventures carefully, you will realise that they are designed to attract and fool only greedy and desperate people. In my lifetime, I have seen many Ponzi schemes come and go, and I warn those close to me to desist from them. Some listen, but others do not, and they suffer when they lose their money.

God is and remains our Supplier; when we apply Biblical principles and work diligently with our hands, He will prosper us. Any investment that goes against Biblical principles, such as hard work, diligence, faithfulness, patience, and contentment, is a stony ground. Those who hasten to be rich will not be innocent, and such people will end up piercing themselves through with many sorrows.

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. Proverbs 28:20

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10

Beloved, you must guard your heart against greed and covetousness. You must be content with what you have while working diligently so that God can bless the works of your hands.

Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, allowed greed to rule him, and he ended up inheriting leprosy. While he could have inherited a double portion of Elisha’s anointing, he subjected himself and his lineage to a lifetime of shame, seclusion, and frustration (2 Kings 5:20-27).

Beloved, greed, impatience, and not following God’s instructions can lead you to sow on stony grounds. Sowing on stony grounds cannot produce good harvests; it will only lead to frustration. I pray that the Lord will show you the right places to sow, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, help me not to sow on stony grounds. Please guide my sowing and bless the work of my hands, in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: THE WAYSIDE

MEMORISE: And it came to pass. as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
Mark 4:4

READ: Mark 4:14-15
The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Yesterday, I explained that the quality of soil determines the level of harvest that a seed can yield. When a seed is planted in some soils, it will not even germinate. In today’s memory verse, we see that some seeds that fell on the wrong kind of soil did not germinate because birds ate them.

Some scholars have suggested that the wayside refers to money spent on regular wild parties and other similar vices. When people throw parties, people will come, eat, drink, and say ‘thank you’; however, that is where it all ends. Such people might say, “Others will invite me to their parties also.” This is true, but we do not live by parties; we live by daily bread. If you want God’s wisdom for financial prosperity, you must be prudent with your spending.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. Proverbs 21:20

Only fools spend everything they have at once. Some people spend all their earnings recklessly. For example, some unbelievers drink and buy alcohol for others. Such people are unwise because, like the prodigal son, they will eventually be abandoned by those they lavished their money on.

The wayside can also refer to actions that expose people’s finances to satanic attacks. In the parable of the sower, the seeds that fell by the wayside were eaten by birds, and as Jesus explained in today’s Bible reading, the birds represent satan. When Christians do not pay their tithes, they are robbing God and throwing their finances on the wayside for satan to devour. Paying your tithes makes the Lord rebuke the devourer for your sake (Malachi 3:8-11).

When believers, including ministers of God, steal God’s money or take anything that doesn’t belong to them without permission from the owners, they are exposing themselves to the devil’s attacks. Someone once said to me, “I learned that your Festival of Life programme in the UK has become very big.” I said, “Yes, sir.” Then, he said, “How much is the church’s income from the service?” When I told him that I didn’t know, he didn’t believe me. I told him that the UK pastors were in charge and that they know that the Bible is clear that anyone who acquires wealth wrongly would die suddenly (Jeremiah 17:11). Those who steal God’s money are inviting satan to feast on their lives and finances.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please show me every way I might have been wasteful, and help me to make amends, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 23 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Seeds have the potential to become harvests, but not all fulfil that potential. John 12:24 says that except a seed falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone. Every seed remains alone if it is kept in a bag or on a shelf; it can be eaten as it is, but it won’t be multiplied. Isaiah 55:10 says that God gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Beloved, you can choose to either be a sower or an eater. If you keep eating everything that comes to you, what then will you sow in order to have a greater harvest?

Wise people set apart good seeds to be sown into good soils, and they get great harvests. Money that is put aside for investment is a seed, while the place, person, or business that it is invested in is the soil. The better the soil, the better the harvest will be. You must learn to recognise good soils and water your seeds to ensure they yield the best harvest.

Over the next few days, I will discuss the different kinds of soils and the ones you should invest in or avoid. Today, however, I will explain some vital keys to financial wisdom.

Job 36:11 tells us a secret to accessing God’s wisdom for financial prosperity: obey and serve Him. When you obey God, He will show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places (Isaiah 45:3). How obedient are you to God concerning your finances? Do you honour Him with all He has given you? Do you pay your tithes faithfully? Do you give to the needy and poor?

When you obey God, He will give you supernatural ideas that will make you thrive in the midst of famine, just as He gave Isaac. Isaac wanted to relocate when famine hit the land, but God told him to stay put, and he obeyed. His obedience gave him access to God’s wisdom, and despite the famine, he reaped a hundredfold that same year (Genesis 26:1-12).

Job 36:11 also talks about service as a key to God’s wisdom for financial prosperity. How you serve God matters. If you serve Him grudgingly or carelessly, He will not trust you with the wisdom to make wealth. Jesus told us not to cast our pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6-7); He won’t cast His before swine too.

Beloved, serve God acceptably in reverence and godly fear (Hebrews 12:28), and He will bless you with financial wisdom, among other things.

KEY POINT:

Obeying and serving the Lord will give you access to His wisdom for financial prosperity.

Exodus 23:25

READ: John 9:1-7
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 22 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Years ago, I suddenly discovered that I was having trouble with my hearing. I called one of my daughters, who is a doctor, and asked her to check my ears. When she checked them, she exclaimed, “Oh God!” She then said that both ears had growths inside, and she encouraged me to go to the hospital. I smiled and told her to give me seven days, after which I would allow her to do whatever needed to be done medically if the growths were still there. I knew that I have a Father who is the Doctor of doctors, so I spoke to Him after she left. I said, “Father, please give me new ears because I need to be able to hear people say ‘amen’ when I pray.” When she returned on the seventh day to look into my ears, she exclaimed again, “Oh God!” But that time around, her exclamation was a positive one because Jehovah Rapha had healed me.

Do you know that it is possible to live without falling sick? Do you know that healing is your bread if you are a child of God? However, for God to be the Lord that heals you, you must diligently hearken to His voice (Exodus 15:26).

You must do whatever He tells you to do and obey Him promptly. When the ten lepers saw Jesus and cried out to Him for healing, He asked them to go and show themselves to the priests (Luke 17:11-14). Doing that was risky because if they got to the priest without being healed, they might have been stoned to death.

They took the risk to obey Jesus, and they were healed. Likewise, the man who was born blind received his healing when Jesus asked him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam (John 9:7). He chose to obey Jesus, and he returned with his sight.

Beloved, it is God’s will for you to enjoy healing in all areas of your life. It is the Father’s good pleasure for you to live in sound health, but you must hearken diligently to His voice. What has God asked you to stop eating or drinking? What has He asked you to start doing? Be prompt to obey Him, and you will enjoy healing

KEY POINT:

The key to living in divine health is obeying

MEMORISE:
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:4

READ: Romans 8:1-11
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6

Jehovah Tsidkenu means ‘the Lord our righteousness’. All our righteousness comes from God; He is the Source and Standard of righteousness. If you are not righteous before Him, then you are not righteous. The world is not our standard; the Lord is.

Once you become a child of God, He puts His Spirit within you, and He begins to work in you to fulfil His perfect will (Philippians 2:13). He begins to guide you and show you the right ways to do things.

Before I surrendered my life to Christ and became sanctified, my heart was so hard that Ijust didn’t know what it meant to cry. For example, I happened to be the favourite son of my biological father because I was his last son, and I really did love him too, but when he died, I did not cry. However, when the Holy Spirit came into me, He made my heart tender.

He taught me how my heart should be and the right way to respond to things. Now, when I see people crying, tears will often begin to well up in my eyes too. I am no longer hard-hearted because the Holy Spirit has shown me and is still showing me my heavenly Father’s righteous, loving, and compassionate ways of doing things.

Knowing God as your righteousness will set you free from trying to please Him by your power.

The Bible says that it is not by power, nor by might, but by the Spirit of the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Our Father is a good Father; He shows us His ways and gives us His Spirit to help us follow them perfectly. It is not by how many laws and commandments you can keep but by how yielded you are to the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, the Bible makes it clear that Christ has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption

(1 Corinthians 1:30). Since Christ has become our righteousness, we can no longer live for ourselves. When we put on the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our righteousness, we receive the empowerment of His Spirit to stop making provisions for the flesh to commit sin (Romans 13:14)

KEY POINT:

When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, He becomes your righteousness, and He gives you the Holy Spirit to guide you.

l once had an extremely wealthy friend who lived in Australia. By the time he was about to die, he had billions of dollars in his bank account. When the Lord sent me to preach to him, he told me that every time he closed his eyes to sleep, he would find himself among dead people. Thus, he was always afraid to sleep. Despite his great wealth, he had no peace. Anyone who hasn’t given his or her life to Jesus cannot experience His peace.

When people surrender their lives to Jesus Christ, they feel a great peace within them. This is a common experience to everyone in Christ. When you surrender to God, you will realise that you have been carrying a heavy load in your heart for so long. Jehovah Shalom lifts that load off you and gives you peace.

Jesus described this in Matthew 11:28:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

What has been troubling you? Just surrender it to Jehovah Shalom, and you will experience peace like a river. God wants to give you peace from all your struggles, but you must hand your burdens over to Him: you cannot carry them alone. No matter what is happening around you, if you have Jehovah Shalom, you will not be shaken. God’s peace is in degrees. The more you know mim. the greater your peace becomes.

Psalm 119:165 says, “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” This is a promise; as you follow God, you will enjoy great peace.

In Isaiah 54:13, the Almighty God says that He will teach your children, and they will enjoy great peace. When God spoke about Abraham in Genesis 18:19, He said, “I know Abraham, for he will command his children and household to keep my way.” No wonder Isaac had great peace. In Genesis 22:1-18, when his father bound him to lay him on the altar to be sacrificed, he remained calm. He had great peace because he had been brought up in the way of the Lord.

Beloved, Jehovah Shalom wants to multiply His peace in your life and in the lives of your descendants, but for Him to do so, you must love His laws and ways.

KEY POINT:

The more you love God’s laws and ways, the greater your peace will be.

Exodus 14:14

READ: Exodus 14:21-31
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: Exodus 17:15

God fights for His children whenever they are being threatened. In Revelation 12, when satan started a riot in heaven, God didn’t move a finger; He just let Michael, the archangel, deal with the situation. However, when it comes to His children, He rises in defence of them.

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. Deuteronomy 28:7

The above Scripture says that God will scatter the enemies that come against you in seven different directions. Whenever God’s children are threatened by the enemy, He rises up to defend them.

Years ago, a military ruler in Nigeria wanted to convert into a civilian president. He consulted some occultic people, and they said that there was a man in the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City) whose prayers would not let that happen. The military ruler then instructed soldiers to come and arrest me. In those days, whenever they arrested anyone, that fellow was not likely to return alive.

Fortunately for me, I got to know of the plan, and to be honest, I was afraid. I went out to pray that night, and after praising God for a few minutes, I said, “Lord, about this matter,” and God said, “Don’t worry about that; I have settled it.

On Friday, during the Holy Ghost Service, tell everyone to wish each other a happy new year.” Even though we were in June, I did as God instructed, and by Monday, the whole country heard the news that the powerful military ruler had died. God rose to fight for me, and I didn’t need to lift a finger. I decree in the name of Jesus, anyone plotting your downfall will fail and fall. No plan of the enemy will prosper against you, in Jesus’ name.

Beloved, no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). This is because the Lord is Your banner; He is Jehovah Nissi. When people gather against you, do not fret. Rather, rest in the Lord, who is your mighty protector, defender, and refuge. Just as He fought for the Israelites and defeated the Amalekites in Exodus 17, He will fight for you. He will save your children from the hands of the enemy and preserve all that concerns you.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, I thank You for being my banner and fighting my battles for me.

OPEN HEAVEN 18 FEBRUARY 2025 DEVOTIONAL TODAY

TOPIC: JEHOVAH ROHI

MEMORISE:
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isaiah 40:11

READ: John 10:1-14
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 18 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1

Before David confronted Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, he was a shepherd boy in charge of his father’s sheep. One day, a bear came to attack the sheep, and he killed the bear. On another day, a lion came and took a lamb out of the flock; he went after it, delivered the lamb, and killed the lion. David didn’t allow predators to take any of the sheep; he protected them fiercely, even when it meant endangering his life. If David, a mere man, could be so protective of his sheep, how much more the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ? As long as the Lord is your Shepherd, you are assured of supernatural provision, protection, restoration, healing, abundance, and many more divine blessings.

Beloved, the Lord is your shepherd; you are His responsibility. This is why He said in Matthew 6:25-33 that you shouldn’t be worried about what you will eat or wear; just seek Him first, and all the things that people chase after will be added to you naturally.

You must, however, note that only sheep can have the Lord as their shepherd. Matthew 25:32 says that God will separate His sheep from the goats. In that particular Scripture, Jesus used ‘His’ when referring to sheep, but when referring to goats, He used ‘the’. Goats are not for God; only the sheep are His. The question is, are you a sheep?

The height of a shepherd’s love for his sheep is when he gives his life up for their sake, and Jesus did this when He died on the cross (John 10:11, John 15:13). Beloved, have you accepted the everlasting provision of the Good Shepherd for your salvation? If you haven’t, you need to do so right now. When the Lord is your Shepherd, you have everything you need. Being a sheep in God’s flock is the best thing that can ever happen to you.

PRAYER POINT:

Shepherd of my soul, I give you full control today and always.
