POWER FOR DAILY LIVING DEVOTIONAL - TUESDAY 5TH MAY 2020 TOPIC: MAINTAINING OPEN HEAVEN.TEXT: JOHN 5:8-9

When you experience Open Heaven, doors of success shall be opened unto you. The man by the pool of Bethesda did not know the person of Jesus. The Lord healed him by grace and mercy. However, the former lame man decided to build according to the pattern that Jesus gave him – rise up, take thy bed and walk. Although the Jews opposed him but he maintained his stand, “He that made me whole, the same said… take up thy bed and walk” – John 
5:11. When you build according to divine pattern, satanic opposition will surely bow to you. 
In maintaining connectivity with God, your association matters. Anyone whom you associate with, is bound to influence you positively or negatively. Samson enjoyed Open Heaven until he began to fraternize with Delilah. When the relationship got deeper, it impacted him negatively, in such a way that he became a liar and broke the covenant of a Nazarite. You can’t befriend Delilah without lying. Nobody comes into your life and leaves you the same way. You may not even know that you have changed but people around you will notice it. Watch your association, it can assist or assassinate you.
DAILY PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, I chase away “Delilah” from my life by Fire. 
 
2. Lord, empower me to build according to your pattern.
