Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2026.


TOPIC: BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK


MEMORISE

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: - (Proverbs 1:5)


READ: Acts 18:24-28 (KJV)


24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.


25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.


26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.


27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:


28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.


MESSAGE


In Yorubaland, where I come from, the elders have an adage that says, 'The lantern cannot see its own bottom.' What they mean by this saying is that, no matter how knowledgeable a fellow is, there are areas in the fellow's life that will be hidden from his or her view. This is why you must be willing to receive feedback from others who can see you more objectively than you can see yourself.


In Revelation 3:15-17, the Lord said that some people, according to their own judgment, believed they had everything going well for them because they were rich and appeared not to lack anything; however, by His own standards, they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.


If a person is too proud to receive feedback, people will see the fellow walking towards a ditch and leave him or her to fall into it. Proverbs 24:6 says that in the multitude of counsellors, there is safety. People who are open to corrections and feedback tend to escape many troubles, while those who think they know it all often stumble into avoidable problems.


Jesus is described as the wisdom and power of God in (1 Corinthians 1:24), yet when He came to earth, He sat under teachers, listening to them and asking them questions (Luke 2:46-47), and the Bible recorded that He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52). He was also open to feedback, as we see in Matthew 16:13-16, where He asked His disciples to tell Him what other men, and even they themselves think of Him.


In today's Bible reading, Apollos was already an established teacher of the word before he met Aquilla and Priscilla. When they heard him teach, however, they recognised that he needed further insight and knowledge of God's word. As a result, they took him aside to expound the way of the Lord to him more perfectly. Submitting to their mentorship and feedback helped Apollos become a better teacher of the word, who mightily proved to the Jews through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Saviour.


Beyond submitting to mentors and being open to learning and growth, how a fellow receives and processes feedback will determine whether he or she will grow or remain stagnant. Beloved, if you want to grow in wisdom, you must be willing to humble yourself to listen and learn from others. You should also ask the Holy Spirit for guidance at all times. I pray you will continue to grow in wisdom and favour before God and man, in Jesus' name. 


REFLECTION

Are you open to learning from others and receiving feedback?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Jeremiah 6 - 8


HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS


1. I want to be like Jesus, 

So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak.


2. I want to be like Jesus, 

So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, 

He met his Father there. 


3. I want to be like Jesus, 

I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To anyone unkind. 


4. I want to be like Jesus, 

Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said 

"He hath done what he could." 


5. I want to be like Jesus, 

Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call.

 

6. But oh I'm not like Jesus, 

As anyone may see; o gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee.


God bless you as you share.

READ: Matthew 7: 21-23 


‎Special Note.

‎These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his disciples in Christ, who was inspired and  mandated by the Holy Spirit, effective, January 1st, 2015, to start writing these prayer points, based on the Open Heavens Daily Devotional  authored by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

‎These prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.

‎To be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

‎Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire, in Jesus' name I pray.

‎PRAYER POINTS 


1.Father, thank You for Your grace that has held me up in You till date. I worship You Who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of Your glory with exceeding joy.


2.Father, by Your help, please keep me standing for You unto the very end when You will come to take up Your very own, in Jesus' name.

4.Father, please help me to depart from iniquity and all uncleanliness. May I never build falsehood upon Your sure foundation, in Jesus' name.


5.Father, please help me never to assume that I am still standing, but to constantly weigh my actions and attitudes against Your word, in Jesus' name.


6.Father, please help me not to stand in the way of sharing Your glory but to always remember that I am nothing without You. Help me to humble myself as Jesus did before You at all times, to serve others with all sincerity rather than waiting to be served, in Jesus' name.


7.Father, please help me to submit to Your will in all that I do or say. Help me to always check my intentions and actions through the mirror of Your word, and to make adjustments to Your standards, in Jesus' name.


8.Father, please help me not just to be the hearer of Your word but a doer of it in complete obedience. Help me to make corrections when I'm being chastised, in Jesus' name.

10.Father, please help me to stand in You until the very end, in Jesus' name.

TOPIC: HE WHO THINKS HE STANDS 2


MEMORISE

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - (Psalm 139:23-24)


READ: Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV)


21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.


22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?


23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


MESSAGE


It is one thing to stand for Jesus, and it is another to keep standing for Him until the end. To stand in Christ until the end requires God's help (Jude 1:24), and you must consistently enquire from Him to know how you are standing. (2 Corinthians 10:18) says:


For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.


Many people commend themselves based on their own standards, when, in truth, they have already fallen. God knows those who are still standing in Him; His foundation is sure and He will not allow anyone build falsehood upon it (2 Timothy 2:19). Today's Bible reading tells us that on the last day, many people will approach God with confidence, thinking that they ought to be in heaven, but He will send them back and call them workers of iniquity. They will try to defend themselves using their own standards of judgment, which may include the wonderful works they did in God's name, but they will still be rejected.


Prophet Isaiah thought he was standing for God until he visited God's throne room and realised that he was a man of unclean lips (Isaiah 6:5). Beloved, never assume that you are standing in Christ; consistently examine yourself by His standards to ensure that you are still in the faith. You can do this by constantly weighing your actions and attitudes against God's word. For example, how do you react when you are addressed in a manner you consider disrespectful? When people praise you, do you enjoy their praises and bask in pride, or are you quick to redirect them to God, the giver of the gifts you are being praised for? When there is an opportunity to serve, do you avoid it and demand to be served because of your position and achievements, or do you quickly humble yourself, as Jesus did, to serve others? Would you rather have things your way all the time or allow the Holy Spirit to have His way? God's word is the mirror with which you can always check whether you are standing in Him or not.


James 1:23-25 urges us not to be hearers of God's word alone, but also doers. Don't be like a man who sees his blemishes in the mirror and fails to correct them. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the areas you are not walking as uprightly as He desires, so that you can make necessary adjustments immediately. 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to stand in You until the very end.

TOPIC: HE WHO THINKS HE STANDS 1


MEMORISE

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. - (Luke 11:35)


READ: 1 Timothy 4:13-16 (KJV)


13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.


14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.


15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.


16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.


MESSAGE


(1 Corinthians 10:12) says that any man who thinks he is standing should take heed, or else he will fall. That tells us that a person can be standing today and fall tomorrow if he or she is not careful. Overconfidence can make someone who has been standing in the Lord for a long time fall. In my 53-year walk with God, I have witnessed many people fall due to overconfidence. They believe that because they have been standing in the Lord for a long time, they are now above certain temptations, and typically, such a mindset would make them careless.


As a Christian, the devil is watching you at all times; if you become careless in any area, he can use that to bring you down. I have heard some men of God boast that they can be in the same room with a naked woman, and nothing will happen. My question is, why is a man of God in a room with a naked woman that isn't his wife in the first place? If a man of God puts himself in such a position, he is already on the verge of falling. I always tell my children that under no circumstances should a man have a female secretary or personal assistant. This is because the man will spend long hours working with the fellow, possibly into the night at times. If such a man places so much confidence in his ability to resist temptation, it may eventually become his undoing.


Overconfidence has also led many people to ignore the basics of their salvation. For example, some ministers of God believe that some Bible study meetings are now beneath them because of their anointing. Some others believe that they don't need to listen or take notes when someone they consider to be below them in hierarchy is preaching. Some even hold other meetings during praise and worship sessions. Actions like these show overconfidence and often lead to a fall.


Beloved, never allow yourself to become overconfident in your walk with God. Do not let any exploits that you may have done in the past distract you from following the basics of your salvation. You can never outgrow walking circumspectly, studying the word of God, fasting, and fellowshipping with other believers. No matter your level of growth in the Lord, you can't outgrow these things. I pray that the Almighty God will keep you standing in Him unto the end of your race here on earth, in Jesus' name. 


KEY POINT

No one can ever outgrow the basics of salvation. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Jeremiah 1 - 3


HYMN 28 - GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH


1. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, 

Hold me with Thy powerful 

hand: Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven! Feed me now and evermore (2ce) 


2. Open Thou the crystal fountain, 

Whence the healing stream 

doth flow: Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey 

through: Song deliverer! Song deliverer! Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce). 


3. If I tread the verge of Jordan, 

Bid my anxious fears subside: Bear me through the swelling torrent, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises! Songs of praises! I will ever give to Thee (2ce).

 

4. Saviour, come! We long to see thee, long to dwell with thee above and to know in full communion, all the sweetness of Thy love. Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!  Take thy waiting people home (2ce).


God bless you as you share.
