TOPIC: WILL YOU BE READY? II

MEMORISE

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. - (Luke 12:40)

BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 24:4-14 (KJV)

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

MESSAGE

Jesus likened His second coming to the time when God destroyed the earth with a flood (Genesis 7:11-23) and when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire (Genesis 19:24-25). Just as it was in the times of Noah and Lot, when people were eating, drinking, getting married, building, planting, buying, and selling, so will it be when the Lord returns (Luke 17:26-30). Life will continue as usual until the Lord's coming interrupts and changes everything. Imagine a believer who gives in to a temptation just a split second before the rapture takes place. Such a fellow has clearly chosen not to spend eternity with the Lord. I pray that you will be watchful and ready to make heaven when the Lord returns, in Jesus' name.

Yesterday, I discussed three important things about the Lord's return. Today, I will discuss the remaining three:

1. It will be unexpected for the unprepared: (2 Peter 3:10) says that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. It is important to note, however, that not everyone is caught unawares by thieves. Matthew 24:43 says that if the goodman of a house had known when a thief would come, he would have watched and prevented his house from being broken up. Stay and alert so that you will not miss the aware rapture.

2. It will not be done in secret: Everybody will know when the Lord returns, whether sinner or saint. Matthew 24:27 says that as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even unto the west, so shall the Lord's coming be. When lightning flashes across the sky, everyone sees it. Likewise, the Lord's return will not be a secret event; the whole world will see those who join Him and those who are left behind. The secret of those who have been pretending to be children of God will be revealed on that day.

3. Jesus is coming for a pure and spotless bride: Ephesians 5:22-33 tells us that the Church is the Bride of Christ. The Church refers to Christians, not buildings, and you must understand that whatever is expected of the Church is also expected of you. When Jesus returns, only those whose garments are spotless will go with Him. 'Garment' here refers to your life. Only those who allow the Lord to sanctify and cleanse them will be His Bride on that day (Ephesians 5:26-27). Beloved, will you be among them? 

PRAYER POINT

Dear Lord, please help me to keep my garment pure and holy until Your return, in Jesus' name. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR MATTHEW 10 - 11

HYMN 20 - I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1. I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining 

everyday; Still praying as I onward bound "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." 

CHORUS 

Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's table-land; Where love, and joy, and light abound, Lord, plant my feet on higher 

ground. 

2.  My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise, and fears dismay; though some may dwell where these abound, My constant aim is higher ground. 

3.  Beyond the mist I fain would rise, to rest beneath unclouded skies, above earth's turmoil peace is found By those who dwell on higher ground. 

4. I long to scale the utmost height, Though rough the way, and hard the fight, My song, while climbing, shall resound Lord, lead me on to higher ground. 

5.  Lord, lead me up the mountain side I dare not climb without my Guide; And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around, With grateful heart from higher ground.

THEME: WILL YOU BE READY? I 

 

MEMORISE: 

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Acts 1:11

 

READ: 2 Peter 3:3-13

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

MESSAGE

One of the reasons I spent three years studying Elijah was that he was gloriously taken to heaven without having to taste death. If I could have my way, I also would prefer not to die but rather be raptured (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Ever since I have learnt of the rapture, my prayer every night before I sleep has been, "Lord. if You return before tomorrow, please don't leave me behind."

The realization that tomorrow may never come, and that the Lord may return before sunrise, has kept me on my toes since I surrendered my life to Jesus. He can even come this very night. It is clearly written in Luke 17:34 that two people will be on the same bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left behind. If Jesus returns tonight, will you be with Him in glory, or will you be left behind?

Today, I will discuss three out of six crucial things you should know about the Lord's second coming. The remaining three will be discussed tomorrow.

1. It is in two phases: The first phase is the rapture when Jesus descends from heaven to receive believers who have died and those who are still alive unto Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The second phase is His glorious return, which all eyes shall behold (Revelation 1:7, Revelation 19:11-16).

2. It is imminent: Although it may seem delayed, Jesus will return soon. Ignore people who speak and act as if He will never return. Peter already spoke about them in today's Bible reading, how they will arise in the last days to challenge this truth. Sadly, many pastors have not preached about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in years. Beloved, don't lose focus; keep in mind that Jesus' return is closer than you think. I know His coming seems to be delayed, but God's measurement of time is different from man's measurement, as today's Bible reading also tells us.

3. It is certain: Jesus' return is certain, and there is nothing anyone can do to change it. Today's Bible reading also tells us that the Lord is not slack concerning His promise. He has promised to return, and it is certain that He will (Acts 1:10-11).

In Matthew 24:4-51, Jesus gave us numerous signs of His coming, and one of the prominent signs is that many deceivers will arise and many will be deceived. I pray that you will not be deceived in any way, in Jesus name.

KEY POINT

How prepared are you for Jesus ‘second coming?

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 7-9

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

 

HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOUR 

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief. 

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace. 

4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?. Peace

God bless you as you share.

THEME: DON'T HARDEN YOUR HEART

 

MEMORIZE 

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Proverbs 28:14 (KJV)

Psalm 95:8-11 (KJV)

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:


9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

MESSAGE 

There is great danger in hardening one's heart to the word of God. In Revelation 2:7, the Bible says, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…" In today's world, many people are unwilling to listen to God's word, especially when it condemns their wrongdoings. They mock and neglect genuine men of God and despise God's ordinances. They are usually found in churches where sin is not condemned and where ungodly doctrines are taught. The Bible tells us that such people are at risk of eternal damnation if they refuse to heed His word (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

Many professing Christians pick only what favours them from God's word. However, what they do not know is that they cannot experience the fullness of God when they choose only what they want to hear from Him. In fact, many times, the things that position us for God's blessings are the things we do not want to hear or experience. It was the shame and the cross that positioned Jesus for glory (Hebrews 12:2). Also, in Joseph's case, it was the pit and the prison that positioned him for the palace.

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the word of God is "quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow…" God's word convicts; it does not condemn. Whenever a fellow hears God's word and it pierces through his or her heart, such a person should not get offended. Instead, he or she should see it as an opportunity to be corrected and transformed.

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. — Acts 2:37-38

In the Scripture above, Peter preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to some people in Jerusalem, and they were convicted in their hearts. Following their conviction, they became saved and were baptised (Acts 2:41). Beloved, when you hear God's word, do not harden your heart. Let His word convict, correct, and instruct you so that you will be thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, please give me a teachable heart that is quick to receive and obey Your word, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Matthew 5-6

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN: Ancient Words

1. Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart,
O let the ancient words impart.

Chorus: 

Ancient words, ever true,
Changing me, changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
O let the ancient words impart.

2. Words of life, words of hope,
Give us strength, help us cope;
In this world, where e'er we roam,
Ancient words will guide us home.

3. Ancient words shall stand the test,
Time and change have proved them best;
Through the ages they endure,
Ancient words are strong and sure.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2026

TOPIC: REMAIN GRATEFUL

MEMORIZE:

“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.”

Psalm 26:7 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 103:1-5

"1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."

MESSAGE:

Some time ago, I went to a man’s house to conduct a programme. It was a night programme, and the Sowner of the house asked me to spend the night at his house afterwards because it was too late for me to return home. I obliged, and in the morning, he asked me to wait for breakfast. When it was time to eat, a chef came and asked my host what he wanted to eat. After so much back and forth, my host finally decided that he would have bread and eggs for breakfast. Then, for the next few minutes, another back-and-forth ensued because the chef asked my host how he wanted his eggs prepared – scrambled, poached, or fried – before he finally settled on boiled eggs. Then, it was time for another debate: how do you want your egg boiled, hard-boiled or medium-boiled? By then, it had been more than 25 minutes, and I had gotten really hungry. Finally, the chef turned to me when he finished with his boss and asked, “Sir, what will you eat?” I told him to give me anything he had. He said he had bread and eggs, and I said it was fine. Then, he asked if I wanted an omelette or bacon, the number of eggs I wanted, and so on. I told him that anything was fine, as long as it was enough to satisfy my hunger. After the whole ordeal, I thought to myself that even though I had no money, I had a good appetite at least. Child of God, while you may not have everything you desire in life yet, you must be grateful for the things you have.

Ecclesiastes 6:9 says that the sight of the eyes is better than the wandering of desire. Many people are not grateful for what they have because they are consumed with thinking about the things they want. They do not appreciate the things they can see because of their wandering desires. Beloved, if God has given you the gift of life, be grateful. Ecclesiastes 9:4 says that as long as you are joined to all the living, there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. As long as you are alive, there is hope that you will achieve the things you desire. Don’t be so focused on the things you wish you had that you forget to appreciate God for all you already have. In all things, give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

REFLECTION:

Are you grateful for the things you have?

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

MATTHEW 1-4

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

1. Praise to the Lord,

the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is

thy health and salvation:

Join the great throng

psaltery,organ and song

sounding in glad adoration!

2. Praise to the Lord,

who over all he gloriously reigneth:

Borne as on eagle-wings, safely

his saints, He sustaineth.

Hast thou not seen

How all thou needest hath been

Granted in what He ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord,

who doth prosper thy way and defend thee;

Surely his goodness and mercy

shall ever attend thee;

Ponder anew, What the Almighty can do,

Who with His love doth befriend thee

4. Praise to the Lord!

Oh, let all that is in me adore Him!

All that hath breath, join with

Abraham’s seed to adore Him!

Let the Amen, sum all our praises again;

Now as we worship before Him.

God bless you as you share.
