TOPIC: SIN IS A REPROACH 1

MEMORISE

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - (Romans 6:23)

READ: John 5:1-15 (KJV)

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

MESSAGE

In today's Bible reading, Jesus healed a man who had been sick for 38 years. Shortly after that, He found him in the temple and warned him to stay away from sin or a worse illness would afflict him. Jesus' warning shows us that a fellow's sin can attract reproach and bring the fellow under the influence of the forces of darkness. If a person sins and does not repent, today's memory verse tells us that such a fellow will be paid for committing that sin, and that payment is death.

In Mark 2:1-12, the Bible tells us about a paralysed man who was brought to Jesus. It took four men to carry him on his sick bed to the house Jesus was preaching in, and because the house was so full that there was no space to pass through at the entrance, the men who carried him had to break through the roof to lower him into the house. When Jesus saw him, He knew the man needed a miracle, and the first thing He said was, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." In other words, Jesus was saying, "Unless we get your sins out of the way, you won't get the miracle you need."

Sin always hinders people from receiving their miracles, and there is always a need to take the sins that have blocked their access to God's blessings away so that the path to their miracles can be opened. The paralysed man's sins landed him in a mess, but when he came in contact with light, it destroyed the mess. When a person comes in contact with light, it destroys every form of darkness in his or her life. If there is any reproach in your life that was caused by your sin, as you ask God for forgiveness today and promise not to return to it, I decree that the Lord will send His light into your life to take away the reproach, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, sin is always a reproach; it brings shame and death. Righteousness, however, attracts God's upliftment (Proverbs 14:34). To receive God's promotion, you must confess and repent of any sins that might exist in your life. Jesus is willing to give you a brand-new start when you turn to Him. Don't let your sins keep you from enjoying God's help; confess them and repent of them today, and your heavenly Father will remove everything that represents a reproach in your life (1 John 1:9). 

KEY POINT

Sin can stop God's light from shining upon you and His blessings from flowing into your life.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY MARCH 2ND 2026

TOPIC: FORGET AND PRESS FORWARD

MEMORISE:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - (Philippians 3:13-14)

BIBLE READING: GENESIS 50:15-21 (KJV)

15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

20 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

21 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

22 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

23 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

24 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

MESSAGE:

It is often easy to forget all the wonderful things God has done for us, which is why many verses in the Bible remind us to 'forget not.' In Deuteronomy 8:11, Moses warned the Israelites not to forget the Lord. Psalm 103:2 also tells us not to forget all His benefits. Likewise, Psalm 78:7 warns us not to forget His works. However, as much as God doesn't want us to forget the things He has done for us, He also instructs us not to hold on to the past.

In today's memory verses, Paul told the Philippians that he often forgot the things that had happened in his past so that he could forge ahead, and he admonished them to have the same mindset in verse 15. Some people are caught up in their past achievements; they keep talking about how God used them and how they experienced great miracles in 'those days'. However, there is nothing in their lives now that shows that they know the Lord. They are filled with anger, bitterness, jealousy, and every work of the flesh. Christians who keep glorying in their past exploits for God's kingdom without thirsting to do more cannot experience a fresh anointing from Him. God's mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23); therefore, any believer who hangs on to the past alone will keep missing out on His increasing goodness and mercy. I turn 84 today, and by God's grace, I am still doing exploits in His kingdom because I've learnt not to hang on to the past, and I rely on His mercies that are new every morning.

Beloved, forgetting the things behind you will help you press on to glorious things ahead of you. Forgetting past negative experiences and even victories will help you reach for the new blessings that God has ordained for you. If Joseph had not let go of the hurt from his brothers' evil deeds, he would have been imprisoned by hate. As we see in today's Bible reading, he told them that even though their actions were meant to destroy him, God turned everything around for good.

Do you need to let go of anything from your past so you can move on to greater heights? Ask God to reveal them to you and strengthen you to let go of them. Ask Him to help you press into the glorious things He has ordained for you. As you do that, I pray that your path will continue to shine brighter, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT:

Today is my birthday. Please pray that God will continue to take me to greater heights. 

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 28-29 

HYMN: 20  I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY 

1. I'm pressing on the upward way,

New heights I'm gaining every day;

Still praying as I onward bound,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

By faith, on Heaven's table land;

A higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Tho' some may dwell where these abound,

My pray'r, my aim is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,

Though Satan's darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught the joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

4. I want to scale the utmost height,

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I'll pray till Heav'n I've found,

Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 1ST 2026

TOPIC: DELIVERANCE FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES

MEMORISE:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" Ephesians 1:3

BIBLE READING: JEREMIAH 31:27-31

27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.

29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

MESSAGE:

A 33-year-old married woman once came to me for prayers. Her problem was that she was still bedwetting, and it was causing her terrible embarrassment. I told her that it wasn't a problem and that God would give her a brand-new bladder. However, before I prayed, she said, "Sir, I’m not the only one suffering from this in my family." She proceeded to tell me that her mother, grandmother, and all the women in her family were bedwetters. Immediately, I knew that her problem was generational. On probing further, I discovered that the problem started when her grandmother had an issue with someone who pronounced a curse on her, saying, "Henceforth, every woman in your family will bed-wet." I told her, "Give your life to Jesus Christ, and you will leave that bloodline and become a new creature." She gave her life to Jesus and returned the following day, radiating with joy. This time, she didn't come alone; she had other women in her family with her. She told me that for the first time in as far back as she could remember, she slept all through the night without bedwetting. The other women who came with her all surrendered their lives to Jesus, and that was the end of the curse. I have good news for you: if a curse has been affecting your family for generations, it is terminated today, in Jesus' name.

When people come into God's family, He makes everything new in their lives (2 Corinthians 5:17), and they become partakers of generational blessings. Anything that had previously hindered and limited such people in their lineages will no longer have any power over them because they have come into a new family, God's family. In this divine family, there is life, prosperity, wisdom, fruitfulness, joy, peace, and every other good thing. Abundant life is the inheritance of everyone who is in God's family, and in areas where they may have suffered from the sins of their earthly ancestors, God promises to visit them with His unfailing and sure mercies (Exodus 20:6).

In God, the proverb that the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge no longer holds (Jeremiah 31:29-30). When a fellow comes into Christ, he or she becomes a partaker of God's divine nature, and abundant blessings become part of the fellow's daily life - this is the heritage of every believer. Beloved, are you a part of God's family? 

REFLECTION:

Are you abiding in God's family and enjoying His blessings?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 26-27

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1 In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all in all

Here, in the love of Christ, I stand 

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones he came to save

'Til on that cross, as Jesus died 

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin, on him, was laid

Here, in the death of Christ, I live. 

3 There in the ground, his body lay

Light of the world, by darkness, slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave, he rose again

And as he stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am his and he is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ. 

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His Hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here, in the power of Christ, I stand.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28TH 2026

TOPIC: GOD'S RIGHT HAND

MEMORISE:

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: - (Ephesians 2:6)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 110:1-3 (KJV)

1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

2 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

MESSAGE:

The phrase 'right hand' bears great significance in the Bible. It portrays a position of privilege - a place of honour and status. For example, our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). Hebrews 12:2 also reveals that after Jesus suffered and died on the cross, He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The right hand of God represents His ultimate strength and power.

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (1 Peter 3:22)

The person being referred to in the Scripture above is Jesus. He is the One on the right hand of God with all powers in subjection to Him. No matter the earthly position a fellow occupies, there is more power and authority at the right hand of God. God's right hand is the place where all angels, authorities, and powers submit to Him. Psalm 18:35 also reveals that the right hand of God is the place of sustenance and help. Today's memory verse tells us that as God's children, we are seated together with Christ, and since He is at God's right hand, we are also there with Him.

Being at the right hand of God means that you will never lack help and provision. It means that you will always find the timely and abundant help you need. Those who are at God's right hand are never small because His right hand is the place of power, as we see in Mark 14:62, which says: "And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven." This means that, as Christians, we are a people of power and influence. We enjoy help, sustenance, and favour from God. Unfortunately, however, while this is our identity as God's children, some believers are living far away from this reality because, like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, they have wandered far away from the Father's right hand. They have heeded the call of sin and frustrated God's grace upon their lives.

Beloved, if you have not surrendered to God, or if you have wandered away from Him, I invite you today to come unto Him. He is knocking at the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20); open it up to Him. He is waiting for you earnestly with open arms; don't keep Him waiting. 

REFLECTION:

Are you occupying your place at God's right hand? 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 23-25

HYMN: 10  IN CHRIST ALONE 

1 In Christ alone my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

when fears are stilled, when strivings cease;

my Comforter, my All in All;

here in the love of Christ I stand.

2 In Christ alone who took on flesh;

fullness of God in helpless babe.

This gift of love and righteousness

scorned by the ones He came to save;

'til on that cross as Jesus died

the wrath of God was satisfied;

for ev'ry sin on Him was laid;

here in the death of Christ I live.

3 There in the ground His body lay;

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

sin's curse has lost its grip on me;

for I am His and He is mine,

bought with the precious blood of Christ!

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death;

this is the pow'r of Christ in me.

From life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man

can ever pluck me from His hand;

'til He returns or calls me home,

here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand!
