RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional MESSAGE
Our God is a master planner, He is always many steps ahead in His planning.
What a master plan! We see another example in the book of Esther where God had already made Esther the queen before Mordecai began to plot evil against the Israelites.
Many times, when we think that some things are happening for no specific reason, we have no idea that God is setting one of His plans in motion.
In 1 Samuel 17, the Bible tells us of a big giant that was terrorising the army of a nation on the battlefield for 40 days.
Back in the country, nobody knew about the terrorist, but a man sent his young son to take food to his older brothers that were on the battlefield.
Before this, God had arranged for David to be trained to kill giants by sending a lion and a bear for him to kill as practice.
When you read the story, you will hear David telling the king about the training he had received in the forest which qualified him to face the giant and kill him.

Acts 16:9-40 tells us about another clever plan of God. God wanted to save the soul of a man and his family, but because of the nature of that man’s work, there was no way he could attend any crusade.
As a jailer, he couldn’t leave the prison he was working in as he had to look after the prisoners.
Therefore, God needed somebody to go to the prison to preach to him.
Paul went to Macedonia in line with the vision, cast a demon out of a girl, and ended up in jail because of a family that had to be saved.
Trust God and obey whatever instructions He gives to you. Once He tells you to go in a particular direction, obey Him so that you can be a vessel that He uses to bring His plans to pass.
Prayer Point: Father, please show me Your plans and help me to walk in them successfully.
HYMN 21:– Standing on the promises of Christ my King
1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail.
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
3 Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
