OPEN HEAVEN 15 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE
READING REVELATION 2:18-29
18. And unto the angel of the church in
Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of
God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of
fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19. I know thy works, and charity, and
service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy
works; and the last to be more than the first.
20. Notwithstanding I have a few things
against thee, because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat
things sacrificed unto idols.
21. And I gave her space to repent of her
fornication; and she repented not.
22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and
them that commit adultery with her into great
tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23. And I will kill her children with death; and
all the churches shall know that I am he
which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I
will give unto every one of you according to
your works.
24. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in
Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine,
and which have not known the depths of
Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none
other burden.
25. But that which ye have already hold fast
till I come.
26. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my
works unto the end, to him will I give power
over the nations:
27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers: even as I received of my
Father.
28. And I will give him the morning star.
29. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
ACTS 2:44-47
44. And all that believed were together, and
had all things common;
45. And sold their possessions and goods,
and parted them to all men, as every man
had need.

MESSAGE
The only thing that Jesus had against the
Thyatiran Church was that they gave
Jezebel the permission to teach the
congregation and she taught them to sin
against God. Maybe we should put our
attention on the people that were misled.
Remember the conditions that must be
fulfilled if you were to trade in Thyatira in
those days. The people easily fell to
Jezebels lure because she offered them a
way to trade and still looked like they had
not fallen away from their faith.
Many people today are going into the world
because they have not been able to find
support for their businesses and careers in
the Church/amongst Christians.
It is important that we join hands to help
one another achieve our goals. Set up
committees to teach the people about their
businesses. Design programmes to teach
people skills that can help them make
money. Give people the opportunity to tell
others within the Church the business that
they do and most importantly, encourage
everyone to buy whatever they need from a
member of the Church.
If we Christians patronise one another,
there will be less pressure to compromise
in order to earn our daily bread. The Church
is a place where we all should be brothers
and sisters; no discrimination! Read the
history of the Church in Acts 2:44-47; they
shared all that they had and ensured that
nobody was hungry.
Do you share what you have with the poor
in your Church so that they also have some
or do you stay away from them because
they don't have? When we talk about
evangelising for those in the world to come
to Christ, we must be aware that the devil is
also evangelising for those who are in
Christ to go into the world.
Let us do what we can to reduce the
pressure on them to go into the world. Yes,
you pray with them to receive their
breakthrough, but if you have the resources
they need and you don't offer them, you are
not helping them or the body of Christ in
general.
James 2:15-16 says: "If a brother or sister
be naked, and destitute of daily food, And
one of you say unto them, Depart in peace,
be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye
give them not those things which are needful
to the body; what doth it profit?"
OPEN HEAVEN 15 AUGUST 2022 KEY
POINT: Look for someone in your local assembly
who needs help financially and assist the
fellow. Also, always ensure that you
patronise members of the Church when you
need a product they sell or a service they
can provide.
Thank you for reading today's devotional
Beloved.
Make the decision to be a contributor to the
advancement of God's Kingdom in one way
or another. Live your life daily mindful of the
purposes and plan of God.
