HE CONTROLS ACCOMMODATION – Wednesday January 18th 2017
Memorise:
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Bible in one year: Mark 7-8, Isaiah 14:12-32, Hymn: Sing hymn 1
MESSAGE:
By
the grace of God, I have seen this revelation of God as Possessor of
heaven and earth work for me. In 1979, my father-in-the-Lord, together
with me and four others visited Tulsa, Oklahoma for a Kenneth Hegin camp
meeting for the very first time. We had made no prior hotel
reservations because information about the camp meeting came to us quite
late. Some people tried to discourage us from going by saying, “How
would you go to far away America without a hotel reservation?” But we
still resolved to go. Something within me told me that if my Lord has
gone to prepare mansions for me in Heaven, He will surely provide a
place of accommodation for me in America. On arrival, someone received
us at the airport and began to call up different hotels. Open heavens
devotional 2017. Even those that were about an hour drive away were all
fully booked, and we also did not have a means of transportation.
Suddenly, it was impressed on my heart that we should call the nearest
hotel to the venue of the camp meeting, telling then that we were
missionaries from Africa and that we needed a room. The brother that
received us checked the phone book and placed a call. Their response was
that they would give us a room! I then told the brother to ask for
another room. When he did, they asked us where we said we were from
again. We repeated that we were missionaries from Africa. They then
agreed to give us two rooms. On reaching the hotel, because I did not
want us to share the same room with our father-in-the-Lord, I asked for
yet another room. “Where did you say you are from?” I was asked. “We are
missionaries from Africa, “I repeated, and the response was, “I will
give you three rooms.” The Lord will open your eyes to know Him as
Possessor of heaven and earth, and He will solve all your
accommodation-related problems in Jesus’ Name.
Key Point
The Son of man had no place to lay His head, so that you would always have a roof over your head.
