    The theme for Open Heaven Daily Devotional December 18 2023 is The Key to Divine Power ”

    SCRIPTURE: And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:6

    When I became a Christian, I was determined not to be an ordinary one. I wanted to be a Christian with power to do the impossible.

    I soon discovered that to get power from God, you need to be totally sold out to Him.

    When you study Paul the Apostle who was so powerful that his handkerchiefs and aprons were healing the sick, you will see that when he beheld Christ on his way to Damascus,

    as he hit the ground, he said, “What do you want me to do Lord?” (Acts 9:61. That is total surrender from the onset.

    You hear him say in Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless Hive; yet not I,

    but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

    In other words, He was saying,

    “Forget the Paul you used to know, forget all you knew about me; the only reason I am living now is that Christ is living in me.”

    This is why he said in Philippians 1:21,

    “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

    By God’s special grace, He has done so many great things through me that make me glad that I surrendered all to Him.

    These are things that outweigh the pain of total surrender. Some people want God to use them mightily, but they still tell lies once in a while.

    Some want to heal the sick but their money is too precious for God to take from them.

    Some want to command demons but even the devil is looking at them and saying,

    “From your sinful mouth? You think you can command me?”

    Take your focus off the things of this world that distract you and surrender completely to God.

    Pray without ceasing, study your Bible regularly, fast often – just go all in with God. Let Him know that you are His and His alone.

    Don’t worry about the earthly things you are chasing now – Jesus Christ promised in Matthew 19:29:

    “And every one that hath forsaken houses,or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.”

    I can attest to that promise because He has fulfilled it in my life. Try Him and see.

    Prayer Point

    Father, give me the grace to do what it takes to become a custodian of Your power on earth.
