Message: – Open Heaven 19 December 2018 Wednesday Daily Devotional

A very large part of our day to day activities is based on relationships and connections with other people. For example, if you want something done at a bank that involves a lot of processes, you will naturally begin to think of someone you know in that bank that can help you speed things up. Many people maintain friendship with certain people not because they actually like them, but because they know that those people will be useful to them in the future one way or another.

There is a popular saying that your network is your net-worth. In other words, with a good network of influential friends, things that are difficult for others to get done will be easy for you. Some people are very powerful not because they hold any position of power or wealth, but because they have friends in high places.

If having friends in high places is very beneficial to attaining your goals, how much more having the Most High as your Friend? Anyone who is friends with God has unlimited power and Influence. There is no contractor job that God cannot help you get, there is no position too high for Him to reach, t ere is no heart too hard for Him to influence in your favor,and there is absolutely no door that He cannot open. Unfortunately, many people who profess to be Christians are actually not friends with God.

Friendship Is like Fire; if tended properly, that fire will burn for a very long time. No friendship will stay alive if it is not properly and constantly maintained. God wants you to seek Him with your heart and not through activities. Many Christians concentrate so much on religious activities that they stop tending to their relationship with God for a very long time, to the point that they have no intimacy with Him.

Some would rather be on the pulpit in front of people than be alone with God just communing with Him. No wonder Jesus Christ says that some people who thought they had been working for Him would be turned away like strangers on the last day. Matthew 7:21-23 says:

”Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And In thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me. “Ye that work iniquity.”

Further confirming the words of this scripture, today’s memory verse says that only those who do His commandments are His friends. Are you His friend?

Key point – Open Heaven 19 December 2018

Jesus Christ is the only friend that really matters.
