Open Heaven 16 September 2023 Message:
Our God is theMost High (Ecclesiastes 5:8). Jesus’ name is higher than every other (Philippians 2:9), and this means all the problems you are currently facing are below Him.
Every now and then, you need to shout the name JESUS so that your problem will hear is in flee. His throne is higher i than any other because it s in the heavens,
far above all principalities and powers. His army is bigger and stronger than any other because He controls all the hosts in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth.
According to Philippians 2:9-11, not only is His name higher than any other, His influence is also in all the spheres because, in Heaven, on earth and underneath the earth, knees bow to Him.
The fact that God is the Most High however, has certain implications. We will begin to discuss this today and over the next few days. Firstly, being the Most High,
He has the last say over every matter. If you have a case in a High Court and the judge finds you guilty, you can appeal the ruling. If the Appeal Court says you are guilty, you can appeal to the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court says you are guilty, the President may decide to grant you a state pardon. There is however, somebody higher than the President and that is the Almighty God. He is not a President,
a Prime Minister, or a King. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the King who decrees a thing and it stands fast (Psalm 33:9).
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 In Exodus 5:1-2 the world’s greatest ruler then was Pharaoh.
Moses relayed God’s message to him saying, “Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness”. Pharaoh refused and said,
“Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?” By the time God had finished with him, he was the one begging the people to go. If you disobey God, it means you love death (Proverbs 8:36).
If you have any wisdom, you will fear the Most High and stay away from anything that can offend Him.
