Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 2026.


TOPIC: WHAT IS MAN? 6


MEMORISE

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. - (1 Thessalonians 5:23)


READ: Genesis 2:7, 1 Corinthians 2:9-15 (KJV)


Genesis 2:7 (KJV)


7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


1 Corinthians 2:9-15 (KJV)


9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.


10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.


11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.


12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.


13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.


14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.


MESSAGE


As I conclude this series today, I want you to know that God made man with the authority to operate in the physical, soulish, and spirit realms. God made us this way so that while we are still living on earth, we can also have a connection with Him in heaven.


God gave man a body so he can live in the physical world and a soul so he can think, feel, and choose (Genesis 2:7). Then, in Job 32:8, the Bible says, "But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding." In other words, we can connect with God through our spirit to receive inspiration from Him. This combination makes us special and differentiates us from animals, plants, and even angels.


In the physical realm, our bodies interact with the world through our physical senses: sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell. Beyond that, we have a soul; we have a will and emotions that allow us to think deeply, make decisions, and establish relationships. For example, you can look at people and discern their true intentions even when they try to conceal them. The most important part of man, however, is his spirit. Our spirit allows us to connect with God. It is through our spirits that we hear from Him, understand spiritual truths, and receive Him into our hearts. Romans 8:6 says, "For to be carnally minded is death..." In other words, if people operate in the physical and soulish realms but their spirits are not connected to God, they are as good as dead because they are not operating in their full capacity as human beings.


Beloved, paying attention to the physical realm only will cause you to pursue temporary and intangible things. In Ecclesiastes 2:11, Solomon said, "Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun." Focusing only on your emotions will cause you to be misled because your feelings cannot be trusted. If you make a decision based on how you feel when you are sad, for instance, before long, you might realise that you have made a terrible decision. The only way you can function in your full capacity and walk in God's perfect will for your life is when your spirit is connected to the Lord. 


REFLECTION

Are you connected to God and submitted to Him, or are you being controlled by your emotions and physical desires? 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Exodus 1 - 4


HYMN 23 - ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER


1. All to Jesus I surrender all to Him I freely give; I will ever low and trust Him, in His presence daily live. 


CHORUS

I surrender all

I surrender all

All to Thee, my blessed saviour I surrender all  


2. All to Jesus I surrender, 

Humbly at His feet l bow; 

Worldly pleasures all forsaken. 

Take me, Jesus, take me now. 


3. All to Jesus I surrender. Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me. 


4. All to Jesus I surrender, 

now I feel the sacred flame 

o the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory to His name!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2026.


TOPIC: WHAT IS MAN? 5


MEMORISE

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. - (Luke 12:7)


READ: Matthew 7:9-11 (KJV)


9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?


10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?


11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


MESSAGE


What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? - (Psalm 8:4)


The love that God has for man seems so unbelievable that the psalmist had to ask the question in the passage above. His love is immeasurable and everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3).


He loves us so much that when Adam fell in the garden of Eden, He put together a redemption plan for us so we could be restored to Him. He also gave us the right to sit with Him because of His tremendous love for us. Ephesians 2:6 says that God has made us sit together with Christ in heavenly places.


In Yorubaland where I come from, we often say that the house of the fellow you love is never too far. Because of God's overwhelming love for us, He came all the way from heaven to save us. He loves us so much that even the strands of hair on our heads are special to Him.


Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. - (Matthew 10:29-31)


Whenever I hear Christians say that they doubt in their hearts whether God will answer their prayers or not, I wonder if they truly know how much God loves them. Romans 8:32 says:


He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?


If someone loves you so much that he or she gave you his or her only child, what else is so big that the fellow cannot give to you? I want you to know how much God loves and values you so that when you go to Him in prayer, you will know that you are speaking to someone who is willing to give you anything you ask for and who wants only the best for you (John 14:13-14).


Beloved, God loves you more than you can ever imagine, and it grieves Him when you don't even realise how special you are to Him. Spend quality time with Him daily so you can learn more about His love for you and know the many wonderful things He has prepared for you. 


KEY POINT

God's love for you is immeasurable and everlasting. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Genesis 47 - 50


HYMN 13 - JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW


1.  Jesus loves me ! this I know, For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong. 


CHORUS

Yes, Jesus loves me,  

Yes, Jesus loves me, 

Yes, Jesus loves me, 

The Bible tells me so.


2. Jesus loves me He who died, 

Heaven's gate to open wide, 

He will wash away my sin, 

Let His little child come in. 


3. Jesus loves me, loves me still, 

Tho' I'm very weak and ill 

From His shining throne on 

high He will watch me where I lie. 


4. Jesus loves me He will stay 

close beside me all the way, 

If I love Him when I die He will take me home on high.

DATE: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14TH 2026

 

THEME: WHAT IS MAN? IV

 

MEMORISE: 

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.  

1 Peter 5:7


READ: Philippians 4:4-7 


4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.


5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.


6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

MESSAGE

Man is very special because he has the capacity to accommodate the Spirit of God inside him.

This is such a magnificent thing because God is so big that heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1), yet He decided to make Himself so little that He can dwell inside us John 14:16-17). In Exodus 25:1 -9, God asked Moses to build a sanctuary to house His presence. However, after Jesus died for our sins, He made every child of God His temple. This means that if you are a child of God, He is living inside you, and everything that answers to God also answers to you. What a tremendous privilege!


I remember when I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God. I thought I was a very wise man, after all, I was a university lecturer. We had many non-literate people in the church back then, and I used to look down on them. However, one day, I thought to myself, "These people may not be educated, but they are always radiating joy while I am always worried about one thing or the other. They seem to be so much at peace, but there is always a storm raging inside me." I decided to give my life to Christ that day, and the first thing I experienced was peace. All my anxieties and worries vanished, and for the first time in my life, I was truly joyful. The joy I felt inside me was so much that the next morning, my boss in the office noticed that I was joyful without me saying anything to him. Man was not originally made to be anxious about anything. It is the fallen nature that made us lose our joy.


The good thing, however, is that Jesus came to restore us to the original plan of God. You will experience peace and joy when you become the temple of the Most High God because Psalm 16:11 says that in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy, and Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God that passes all understanding will flood your heart indeed.


Beloved, if you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you cannot be a part of God's original design. The Lord wants to come into your heart (Revelation 3:20), and I encourage you to let Him in. He will lift all your heavy burdens (Matthew 11:28) and you will begin to experience peace and joy like never before.


KEY POINT

When you understand your identity 'as God's dwelling place, you will enjoy so much joy and peace.

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 44-46

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

 

HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

 

2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

 

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.
