God’s relationship with the Israelites reveals to us how God uses enemies to discipline His children. His purpose is to make His children run back to Him for reconciliation and deliverance.
God is a loving God but when He sees us going the wrong way He could use hardship and sickness to discipline us. In this video I share my personal experience.
This is a hard truth but it remains the truth. There are times that God closes the Heaven as a means of disciplinary measures.
Experiencing a closed Heaven could be in form of God keeping silence, closing Heaven against your prayers, living away from the dew of Heaven, etc.
If you are experiencing a closed Heaven diagnose the cause and settle it with God.

The love of God makes God to discipline His Children when they go astray. The purpose of chastising us is to correct us and make us turn to Him. Instead of being discouraged when we face chastisement, let’s reciprocate this act of love by making use of God’s grace and mercy by turning back to Him.

One thing that many Christians fail to understand fully is that the human body was originally created by God for Himself. We are the temple created by God for Himself to dwell through His Holy Spirit.
Immortality is one of the attributes of the Triune God, and it means the state of not being liable to or subject to death. God lives forever and can never die.
TOPIC: The Immortal, Creator of Heaven and Earth
TEXT: Gen. 1:1; Jeremiah 32:17.
AIMS
to teach God’s almightiness in creation and His immortality, and
– to show us how we can share in God’s immortal and creative power.
INTRODUCTION
Immortality is one of the attributes of the Triune God, and it means the state of not being liable to or subject to death. God lives forever and can never die. The scriptures affirm Him to be the Creator of heaven and earth, contrary to the claims of some scientists and atheists. How the immortal God created heaven and earth and continues to govern and sustain them is what we shall see in this study.
STUDY GUIDE
What do you understand by the phrases, “Immortal God” and “Creator”? How is God described in – 1Tim. 1:17; 1Tim. 6:16; Rev 4:11?
Explain the almightiness of God in Josh 10:12-13; Acts 12:21-24
How can man share in God’s immortal and creative power? Psalm 24:1-4; John 14:12-13.
CONCLUSION:
There is no sustainable argument against the affirmation in the Bible that the immortal God is the Creator of heaven and earth. Indeed, He has gone further to make man in His own image and demonstrate how we can share in this awesome power – through faith in Christ! Food for Thought God, the Immortal, invisible and the only wise.
MEMORY VERSE
1Tim. 1:17 “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God Who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”.
Giving to the poor is a command from the Lord. It is the responsibility of every believer and it has rewards from God when it is done the right way.
Every act of kindness has a reward. There’s nothing that does not count when it comes to bearing the fruit of goodness, every good deed done with a good motive has a reward from God.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27 KJV)
One of the ways we lay treasures in Heaven is by giving to the poor. The early Church practiced it and laid a lot of emphasis on it. We also need to take care of the poor in our midst.
