*OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

*THEME: GOD HATES LONELINESS*
*MEMORISE:*
*“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” - (Psalm 68:6)*
*READ: Isaiah 34:16-17 (KJV)*
16. "Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.
17. He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever; from generation to generation they shall dwell in it."
*MESSAGE:*
In Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught us to start our prayers with Our Father. God is a "family man'. He loves the concept of family and hates loneliness. In Genesis 2:18, He said that it is not good that a man should be alone. If you're of marriageable age and can't seem to find the right companion to get married to, or if there are forces preventing you from getting married, I pray that the tide will turn this year, in Jesus' name.
During one of our programmes several years ago, God's word came that the mother of one of the sisters in the congregation was diabolically preventing her from getting married. God said that the mother would be buried within seven days if she continued to prevent her daughter from getting married. The following day, a lady came with her mother to my office. The mother was furious, and she said, "You ****** prophets brainwash our girls. Imagine telling my daughter that I am responsible for her not getting married." I replied, "Me? Sister, did I say that? What God said is that the mother of a sister in the congregation was preventing her from getting married. Did I mention your name?" Then I turned to the mother, "Mama, don't mind her. Nobody mentioned her name." The mother then asked her daughter to leave my office because she wanted to speak with me alone. As her daughter went out, she turned to me, "Pastor, is it true that the mother of the fellow concerned will die?" I said, "I'm not talking about you, but what God said will come to pass. Before the week ends, whoever it is will be buried." The woman began to stammer, "I'm not asking her not to marry, but who is going to take care of me after she's married?" I said, "That's simple; I can make her and her husband promise to take good care of you." The lady, who was almost 40 years old and had not had any suitors, got married within six months.
In today's Bible reading, God promised that nobody will lack their mate. If you are feeling lonely, I pray that God will restore the broken relationships in your life or send the right companions your way. For someone reading this today, God will deal with anybody who says that you will not get married. He will settle you maritally in due time, in Jesus' name. God's word will never fail; keep trusting in Him.
*PRAYER POINT:*
Father, please always send the right companions to me, in Jesus’ name.
*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*

*HYMN 6 - I AM SO GLAD THAT OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN*
1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tell of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
*CHORUS:*
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
2. Jesus loves me and I know I love Him;
Love brought Him down my lost soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree:
Oh, I am certain that Jesus love me.
3. In this assurance I find sweetest rest,
Trusting in Jesus I know I am blessed;
Satan, dismayed from my soul doth now flee,
When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.
4. Oh, if there's only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
"Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!"
5. If one should ask of me, how can I tell?
Glory to Jesus, I know very well!
God's Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing Jesus loves me.
