RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional 25 July 2023  TOPIC:  Fear God (I) MEMORISE The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.  Proverbs 9:10 READ: Psalm 34:1-11 RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional 25 July 2023 MESSAGE There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Genesis 39:9 Today’s memory verse clearly establishes the need to fear the Lord if we would be wise and gain an understanding of life. The Lord asks: “A son honoureth his father,and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?” (Malachi 1:6). How do we fear the Lord? Today’s Bible reading gives us ideas on how we fear the Most High God. One, we must magnify the Lord for who He is. It takes the appreciation of God to fear Him. The Psalmist says: O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast

RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional 24 July 2023  TOPIC:  God Still Speaks to His People (II) MEMORISE God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hebrews 1:1 READ: Hebrews 1:1-2 RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional 24 July 2023 MESSAGE Yesterday, we started discussing the reality of God still speaking to His people, even to this present moment. In today’s text, we read that though God spoke to His people through His prophets, now He speaks through His Son, Jesus Christ. This is made possible through the Holy Spirit whom Jesus sent to the Church right from the day of Pentecost. He promised: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26 God still speaks to His people; no doubt about that. We must, however, pay close attention to the later part of the sentence – “to His people.”
