OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: MONDAY 30TH OCTOBER 2017
THEME: SHUTTING UP MOCKERS
Memorise:
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall
perish. Proverbs 10:28
Read: Psalm 35:15-19
35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
and gathered themselves together: yea, the
abjects gathered themselves together
against me, and I knew it not; they did tear
me, and ceased not:
35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
rescue my soul from their destructions, my
darling from the lions.
35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great
congregation: I will praise thee among
much people.
35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies
wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them
wink with the eye that hate me without a
cause.
Message:
God is a specialist at disgracing mockers
and giving His children the last laugh. This
season, you shall laugh last in Jesus’ Name!
in Mark 10:46-52, when Bartimaeus was
crying to Jesus for help, some people were
irritated. Do you know that there are people
who do not want your voice to be heard at
all? “Shut up you blind beggar! With people
like us around, do you think the master
would have time for a beggar like you?”
They laughed at him with an air of
importance, but he ignored their mockery
and cried out for help all the more. They got
angry at his defiance. “You’ve got some
nerve, you noisy fellow! If you know what is
good for you, you better keep your mouth
shut!” They continued mocking him as the
crowd moved along. However, to their
amazement, Jesus suddenly stopped and
said, “There is a blind beggar along the
street behind us. Go and bring him here
now.” Immediately, the laughter of the
mockers ceased. The laughter of your
mockers has come to a permanent end
today in Jesus' Name! The same mockers
became his helper. They politely took him to
Jesus, and after Jesus healed him, he
became the center of attraction. Very soon,
you that people thought would never
amount to anything will become the center
of attraction in Jesus’ Name!
A particular sister was dying at the
University of Lagos Teaching Hospital. Her
husband met the doctor and they confided
in him that she would not live to see the
following morning under any circumstance.
So he went to his wife, pretending to care
for her, and he told her he would see her
the following morning, secretly expecting to
meet her corpse by then. As he left the
hospital, he phoned his mistress and said,
“My stupid wife will pass away tonight.
Come over and let’s have fun.” The mistress
came to his house and they were “having
fun”, but because they never expected
anyone to disturb them, they did not even
lock the door of the bedroom. They were in
for the shock of their lives. After this man
left the hospital earlier on, that same night,
the Lord Jesus Christ visited his sick wife
and said “I am the Lord that healeth thee;
rise up and go home.” As she got up and
walked out of the hospital, the nurse
thought they were daydreaming and seeing
her ghost, and so they did not stop her. She
got home and caught the two evil doors in
their illicit act. She said to them, “You
thought I was dead, but I am alive and well.”
Every evil expectation of your enemies shall
be disappointed in Jesus’ Name! You shall
laugh from now on!
Prayer Point:
Father, turn every expectation of my
mockers to disappointment.

HYMN 8: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they
fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
2. Summer and winter and springtime and
harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
[Refrain]
3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to
guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for
tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand
beside!
[Refrain]
