THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD-Prov 28:1
"... Perfect love cast out fear...fear torments.."1Jn4:17-18. Whosoever fears is not a perfect LOVER of GOD,JESUS & GOD'S WORD. Nor in perfect believe &love relationship with GOD,JESUS & GOD'S WORD.Fear of any type eg-Man,sickness,lack,death, present &future, social media news etc prove something is not right in your relationship with GOD.Satan still has stronghold in your lifestyle. You can be born again,pastor,Rev Father,Bishop,GO,etc;if you still panic,restless,shakky,worry &aniety, you're not yet in perfect love relationship with GOD.FAITH says greater is"HE"in us than in the world-1Jn4:4..If HE in me is greater,why fear what comes out of the world.

TO SUCCEED IN LIFE-JN12:26
"..Seek those things which are above where CHRIST sitted on the right hand of GOD,set your affections on things above,not on things on the earth"Col3:1-2. Worldly success is different from GODLY success which is done GOD'S WAY. You may make achievement (efforts)in Politics,academics, business,or profession, that's not success becos they've limitations. True success is GOD'S PLAN for your life.It doesn't consider whether you're in politics,academics, business,profession,woman,man,old or young,tired or retired. Once born again & affections on things above GOD'S PLAN for true success begins to unfold for you,nothing can stop it! Jer29:11,1sam2:6-9

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY 7TH DECEMBER 2021.

THEME: YOU WANT TO PROSPER? FEAR GOD.

MEMORISE:
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. Psalm 128:1

READ: Psalm 128:1-6.
1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

MESSAGE:
The lack of the fear of the Lord has brought untold hardship to many people since the fall of man. However, those who have exercised the fear of the Lord in the past have fulfilled their destinies. Thus, every wise person must exhibit the fear of the Lord.

Joseph could have had his destiny cut short had he succumbed to the temptation of sexual immorality- an age- old sin. You would recall that God destroyed S***m and Gomorrah because of this. Reuben also was cursed because of his sexual immorality with his father’s wife (Genesis 49:4). Despite how inviting the temptation was, Joseph feared the Lord and refused to take up the offer of sleeping with Potiphar’s wife. With fear and trembling, he declined in Genesis 39:9 thus:
“There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

You may be wondering how Joseph knew that sleeping with another man’s wife is a sin against her husband and God, considering the fact that the commandment to refrain from adultery was given much later in Exodus 20:14. The truth is that God has written His laws on the heart of man (Hebrews 8:10, Romans 2:14-15. This is what puts His fear in us if we have not been given over to reprobate minds as seen in Romans 1:28.

Joseph prospered because he feared the Lord. Do you fear the Lord? Do you question the spiritual authority of your Pastor? Do you still hide under the clock of a ‘clear conscience’ even as you engage in sexual immorality? Today’s memory verse says:
“Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways; that walketh in his way.”

The practical way of showing that you fear the Lord is by trembling at His word. Isaiah 66:2 says:
“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

I encourage you today to fear the Lord and abstain from all evil. As you do, God Himself will prosper you in all your ways, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please instill Your fear in me and prosper me the way only You can, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 7-12.

The fall or afflictions of the Rightious is never their end, for the Lord will set them up again

Schadenfreude [ Rejoicing over other misfortunes or setbacks] is the height of Wickedness.

1. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2:1-4.
Why do the wicked rejoice over others failure? Over times, and in many difference places, when it comes to making ourselves happy, we human beings have long relied on humiliations of and failures of others.

Schadenfreude is a German word with no precise English equivalent, it comes from the two German words: Schade and Freude, harm and joy. It is the act of taking delight in others misfortune. When another person’s bad luck secretly makes you feel good, that is Schadenfreude. There is part of our brain that gets turned on when we are rewarded at someone else’s misfortune. This act is universally exhibited all over the globe and takes the same ways by the perpetrators.
• The Japanese have a saying; ‘’the misfortunes of others taste like honey’’
• The French speaks of ‘’joie maligne’’ – a diabolical delight in other people’s suffering
• The Danish talk of Skadefryd
• The Dutch talk of Leedvermaak.
• In Hebrew enjoying other people’s catastrophes is Simcha la-ed
• In Russia it is Zloradstvo

To see others suffer does one good, wrote the Philosopher Friendrieh Nietzsche,’’ to make others suffer even more, this is a hard saying but a mighty, human all- too- human -principle’’.
The smiles of a Schadenfreude and joy are indistinguishable, except in one crucial respect: People tends to smile more with the failure of our enemies, than at our own success.

How well is this act against your fellow human who you pretend to love? Or how comfortable will you feel when the person you are laughing at get over his or her predicament and you find yourself in a worst state, because karma will always take it course? One thing is sure for a child of God:

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” King James Version (KJV)

Proverbs 24:16, NIV ‘’ For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.’’

Psalm 37:23-24, ESV ‘’ The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he falls, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.’’

Those word clearly show that the falling of the Righteous is temporary and for a better purpose.

While some degree of Schadenfreude is part of the normal continum of human experiences, frequent Schadenfreude can indicate a mental condition.

Causes of Schadenfreude

People are more likely to experience Schadenfreude. when they dislike someone. They get satisfactions to see to the misfortunes of such a person. All this are demonic acts championed by the Wicked.

Schadenfreude is also common with people of low Esteem. When someone is having this inferiority complex among others, due to not meeting up with the standard, set by their rivals, they often resort to hunting and looking for possible opportunity to bring them down. He or she capitalized or promote any little opportunity that comes up to bring others down to their favor.

Setbacks also makes people to resort to the habit of engaging in Schadenfreude. It gives them joy to hear their rival setbacks to revalidate their own failure.

Chronic anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem might also cause someone to seek validation in others’ failure.

Just a concluding word to all Schadenfreude, as you sow in this modern day where the land is technologically boosted with chemicals to enhance your proceed, you will reap a billion-fold.

Sow good seed because you do not know tomorrow. God always supports and make a positive turn around for the Righteous.

Psalm 34:19 ‘’ Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all’’.
