The speaker, Pastor Benjamin Busmit, leads a morning devotion and prayer session on Radio HCI. The theme is "Champaign" and the scripture reading is from John 5:1-4. The passage talks about a pool in Jerusalem where an angel would stir the waters, and the first person to enter the water would be healed. The speaker mentions that in present times, the waters are still being stirred by angels, and anyone who steps in with faith can experience healing and breakthrough. The speaker invites listeners to participate in a fasting and prayer session over the next three days to receive their long-awaited miracles and breakthroughs. The memory verse is John 5:4. The speaker encourages listeners to join the "If I Perish, I Perish" fast and attend the prayer sessions at the Church Auditorium or connect through social media. The speaker concludes by wishing blessings and a fruitful fast to the listeners.
So we fasted and entreated our God about this, and He answered our prayer. Shalom Precious One, God richly bless you for connecting to Radio HCI today for our morning glory devotion and for partaking in our just ended prayer startup. My name is Pastor Benjamin Busmit from Harvest Chapel International Kumasi and I'll be leading us through this morning's devotion. Let us kindly share a word of prayer. Precious and Everlasting Father, we thank you so much for the privilege to hear your word this morning.
Let the entrance of your word bring light and understanding and cause us to live out your word. In Jesus' mighty name we pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Let's kindly affirm our confession from Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and night, that I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous, and I'll have good success.
Amen. The theme for our morning glory devotion this morning is Champaign. Champaign. And we shall be taking a scripture reading from John chapter 5 verse 1 to 4, reading from the New King James Version. After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the ship gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool, and stared at the water. Then whoever stepped in first, after the staring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. May the Lord add his blessing to the hearing and reading of his words. And all shall respond, Thanks be to God. Amen. Champaign. Indeed, the saying is true. There are certain times when the Lord calls us out of the routine of our daily lives.
He has something precious and vitally important to give us that the familiar pattern of our daily devotions cannot accommodate. Our scripture reading today reveals to us a supernatural occurrence that used to happen at the pool of Bethesda. An angel went down at a certain time into the pool, and stared at the water. Whoever stepped in first, after the staring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. John chapter 5 verse 4. In our days, the waters are still being stared at by the angels of the Lord, and the good news is, unlike then, where only one person was marked out for healing, that is, the first to step into the water after the staring, now as many as are willing and will step into the water in faith are assured of their healing and breakthrough.
The Lord from time to time lays on the heart of his servants to put together conferences such as our Abandoned Life Conference and If I Perish, I Perish Fast, a season where the waters are stared at supernaturally so he can visit his people in his power and glory. It is a time where we can trust God for deliverance from sins, addictions, and afflictions that have plagued us for years, and also be ushered into deeper depths and dimensions in our work with God that leads to greater effectiveness in ministry and prayer.
Beloved, you definitely cannot miss out as God comes to town this season. The waters have been stared. Jump in for your long-awaited miracle and breakthrough by connecting with us as we wait on the Lord in the next three days in fasting and prayer, and you will definitely be next in line to testify. Amen. It's time to take our memory verse, and our memory verse for today shall be taken from John chapter 5 verse 4. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool, and stared at the water.
Then whoever stepped in first, after the staring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Amen. Let us kindly share a word of prayer. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you so much for your word that has come to us this morning. We pray, O God, that you stay afoot in us. Let the spirit of boldness and courage rest upon us, so that we jump into the waters that have been stared in this season, where we come out, O God, with our breakthroughs and with answers to our prayers and desires.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Amen. O God, we truly bless you so much, beloved, for being a part of this morning's devotion. Let's be reminded that our much-awaited If I Perish, I Perish fast commences today. I encourage you, come on board, do not be afraid, and let us tap into the grace that has been made available by God. And I know that at the end of these three days, we shall receive our breakthroughs in the name of Jesus.
Let's be reminded also that our first prayer session commences this morning at 9 o'clock a.m. You can join us in person at the Church Auditorium in Dinemi Kumasi, or connect with us on all our social media handles, and you shall be a blessing. God richly bless you, and have a fruitful fast. Amen.
