Open Heavens Prayer Points

 Prayer Points on Today’s Open Heavens: (Friday,  January 1st, 2021) -

Adeboye, but by one of his numerous disciples, of 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.


Some of the prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.


If you want 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.Thank You, Father, for bringing me into another year; it is not by my power nor by my might, it is  by Your mercy and grace.


2.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me, in Jesus' name.


3.I plead the blood of Jesus over my spirit, soul and body; let the blood of Jesus cleanse and sanctify me from all unrighteousness, in Jesus' name.

7.Father, let my light so shine before men this year, that they may see my good works, and glorify You, my Father, who is in heaven, in Jesus' name.


8.Father, whenever the temptation to sin against You, comes my way, this year, please, make a way of escape for me, as You have promised, in Jesus' name.


9.Father, let me dwell in You and You in me, throughout this year; please, come and make my life, Your permanent place of abode, in Jesus' name.


10.Father, increase the intensity of Your light in my life; and, no matter the thickness of the darkness, let it never prevail over my life,  ministry and Your church, in Jesus' name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY 1ST JANUARY 2021


THEME: IN THE BEGINNING, GOD SAID



MEMORISE:

Genesis  1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.



READ: Genesis 1:1-5

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.



MESSAGE


When God speaks, it is done. This is because there is power in His word (Hebrews 4:12). I congratulate you today because the Almighty who knows no impossibility (Luke 1:37) is saying to you on the very first day of this year that you will never suffer again. Everything He has planned for you shall come to pass this year in Jesus’ name. 


However, you must become a member of God’s family for His word to impact your life positively. To have the Light of God in your life throughout this year, you must repent of your sins and accep Jesus Christ as your Lord. It is impossible for your ”New Year Resolutions” to withstand the test of temptations without the power in the blood of Jesus that was shed for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28).


After inviting Jesus to become the Lord over your life, you must ensure that you continue to dwell in Him permanently. He is the only Light that can keep you out of darkness and see you successfully through this year and beyond (John 8:12).


Darkness is the opposite of light and it represents all forms of evil. Thus, when God commands light into anyone or anything, it simply means that darkness has been ruling over that person or thing. From the Bible reading of today, you will see that the world was deep in chaos, darkness and was without form. However, God spoke, as He is speaking to you on this significant day. He said ”...Iet there be light” and there was light. Today, I command light to shine into your life and repel every form of darkness, in the mighty name of Jesus. 


The Lord has promised us that as we walk in the Light, we will fellowship with Him, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son will cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:7).


Remain faithful to your decision to follow Jesus throughout this year and your mouth will be full of testimonies of God's goodness in the mighty name of Jesus. 


If anybody asks you why you are so sure, tell the fellow that it is because God has said it. Hallelujah! 

Happy NewYear!



PRAYER POINT:

Father, thank You for bringing me into another year. Please, let the power in Your word bring Your promises to pass in my life and family, in the mighty name of Jesus.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Genesis 1-3



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 6: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS


1. "Great is thy faithfulness"

O God my Father!

There is no shadow of turning with Thee:

Thou changest not, Thy compassion, they fail not,

As Thou has been Thou forever will be.


Chorus

"Great is Thy faithfulness!"

"Great is Thy faithfulness!"

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!


2. Summer and winter, and spring time and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.


3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: THURSDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: A NEW YEAR COMETH.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.                                                

Philippians 4:13

 

 

 

READ:  Psalm 90:12

 

 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

We have come to the end of another year. a new year begins tomorrow. At the end of a season, it is important that you sit and review the season.

 

Review all that happened or didn’t in every aspect of your life in 2020. Did you experience any progress in your career? Did you draw closer to God this year? did your relationship with loved ones get better this year? you know the important areas of your life; do a review.

 

 

After your review, you will see areas where you need to improve. The opportunity to improve starts now; grab it with faith in God for a better year. list the things you want to achieve in the new year and put things in place to ensure you achieve them.

 

If for example, you want to live a better spiritual life, but there is a partner you keep committing fornication or adultery with, then it is time to delete that fellow’s number and cut all ties with him/her. Hebrews 12:1 says:

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”

 

 

Let the word of God guide you in all matters. Psalm 37:5 tells us to:

 

            “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

 

Beloved, your decisions and actions now will determine how year 2021 will be for you. If there are things you want to stop in your life, you had better not carry them in 2021 and if there are things you want start in your life, bring them in now. You have a chance to write your own history in 2021; don’t miss it.

 

 

May the Almighty God bless you tremendously in the coming year in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Declare the things that you want in the year 2021. It will be a greater year for you than all those that had come before it, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Revelation 21-22

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 22: O LORD MY GOD!

 

 

1.       O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

2.       When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

 

3.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

4.       And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

 

5.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

6.       When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

 

7.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 30TH DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: OVERCOME YOUR BODY.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.                                                                1 Corinthians 9:27

 

 

 

READ:  1 Corinthians 9:24-27

 

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

 

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

 

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

 

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Anyone that is going to excel according to our Bible reading for today, must be self-disciplined. Such a person must keep his/her body under. Do not be deceived - greatness is readily available. There is plenty of room at the top; the question is: are you willing to do the work that will qualify you to get there?

Anyone who wants to be prominent, to mount with wings like an eagle cannot be lazy. Isaiah 40:31 says it is they that wait upon the Lord whose strength will be renewed; they are the ones who will mount with wings as eagles. Many people are too lazy to pray and they want miracles. When I pray at night, I don’t stay in one place because I know that after a busy day, I would sleep off. If I am in a place where I cannot go out in the night, I walk up and down the stairs so that I won’t sleep while praying. Many people can’t even fast for three days, yet to cast out demons. Jesus said:

 

“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”                       Matthew 17:21

 

 

When I got born again, we resumed in church on Sunday morning before the break of day and were there until the evening. These days, if the service goes on beyond 11am, people would already be dreaming of meals they want to eat after the service. How can the Church take its rightful place if everyone is this lazy?

 

It takes discipline to excel; even the devil knows it, that is why he keeps bringing several distractions our way and sadly, many of us allow him. If you cannot stay for one hour without peering into your phone, you need to check to be sure that you are not already a victim of the devil. If a provocatively dressed lady cannot walk past without you turning to get another angle, that is the devil getting you there. If you cannot do without having sex with your spouse in a week, then how can you take out time to consecrate yourself to God? You need self-discipline, if not, you could become an easy target for the enemy.

 

 

 

 

REFLECTION:

 

Comparing how often you eat and sleep with how often you pray, how disciplined would you say you are?

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Revelation 19-20

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 23: ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER!

 

 

1.              Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See his banners go!

 

Refrain:

Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

 

 

2.              At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory.

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.

 

 

3.              Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the Saints have trod.

We are not divided;

All one body we:

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.

 

 

4.              Onward, then, ye people;

Join our happy throng.

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honor

Unto Christ, the King.

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: TUESDAY 29TH DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: SEEK GOD’S HELP.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.                                    

Psalm 46:1

 

 

 

READ:  Psalm 121:1-8

 

1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

 

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

 

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

 

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

 

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

 

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

 

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

 

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Often I see a lot of people going through life on their own. They try to do everything by their knowledge and power. Though they  achieve some level of success and celebrate it, I pity them because they have no idea how much higher they could have gone if only they had consulted God for help. When you try to do it all by yourself, you age faster and can easily get frustrated, but when you let God help you, when you relax and let Him carry you on His wings, your burden is transferred to Him. I used to try to do things by my abilities before. I wanted the church to grow, so I was doing everything in my power to bring that to pass. One day however, I noticed a strand of grey hair on my head at the age of forty. I asked God why I should be having grey hair at that young age and He said, “Aren’t you the one who wants to do everything yourself?” From that day, I surrendered all to God. After a while, the grey hair disappeared and the church grew faster than I had expected, without any stress on me.

 

“will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”            Psalm 121:1-2

 

Our eyes must always be lifted to God for help- not people, not the government, not the church or anyone else; but God alone. Yes, God can raise people to help us like He did for Adam. Adam was in need of help in the garden od Eden; God recognized this and gave him Eve.

 

 

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”                                                                                         Genesis 2:18

 

If however, you are not in God’s kingdom, how would you expect His help when He has said a kingdom divided against itself shall be desolate? (Matthew 12:25)

 

 

When you surrender all to Him and seek His face, He will raise helpers for you. Helpers you never knew existed will come your way today in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Lord, I look up to You alone; please send help to solve all my problems, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Revelation 12-18

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 18: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE.

 

1.       My faith looks up to Thee,

Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine!

Now hear me while I pray,

Take all my guilt away,

Oh, let me from this day

Be wholly Thine!

 

2.       May Thy rich grace impart

Strength to my fainting heart,

My zeal inspire!

As Thou hast died for me,

Oh, may my love to Thee

Pure, warm, and changeless be,

A living fire!

 

3.       While life’s dark maze I tread,

And griefs around me spread,

Be Thou my guide;

Bid darkness turn to day,

Wipe sorrow’s tears away,

Nor let me ever stray

From Thee aside.

 

4.       When ends life’s transient dream,

When death’s cold, sullen stream

Shall o’er me roll;

Blest Savior, then in love,

Fear and distrust remove;

Oh, bear me safe above,

A ransomed soul!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: SUNDAY 27TH DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: THE POWER OF PHYSICAL FELLOWSHIP.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.   

Psalms 122:1

 

 

 

READ:  Psalm 122:1-2

 

1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

 

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Technology is a good thing; it is very effective in enhancing the worship experience, but it must be used with caution so it does not rob us of the worship experience that we need. There is a new trend now where people prefer to sit at home and connect to a service through their Television, a website or social media. Believe me, what you get while watching through these means can never be the same as when you attend the service physically, especially id there is really nothing stopping you from doing so.

 

 

When you connect to a service from home, you are prone to lots of distract you; you could even remember something you wanted to do and decide to do it while still watching the service. You could also decide to cook while watching the service, meaning whenever you are attending to the food, you are missing something. On the other hand, when you attend the service physically, you have few or no distractions as you and everyone around you have only one focus- God. More importantly however, is the atmosphere of worship; being in that Spirit-filled environment should not be traded for anything. The fire from the fellow beside you who is praying or worshiping will ignite yours and you would reach realms you could not have attained had you been sitting at home to watch the service. Jesus said:

 

“ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”                                                                                                                Matthew 18:20

 

 

WATCHING Him move in the midst of a group of people gathered in His name can give you a bit of the action, but it can never be the same as when you are physically present amongst the group. So, except there is absolutely no way you can attend the service based on circumstances beyond your control, it is better that you attend Christian fellowships physically. As you do so, the power of God’s Spirit will locate and lift you, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

 

ACTION POINT:

 

Attend services physically and make use of digital platforms only when necessary.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Revelation 1-5

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 20: NEARER, MY GOD TO THEE.

 

 

1.       Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,

Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.


Refrain:

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

 

2.       Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,

Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;

Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to Thee.

 

3.       There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n;

All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n;

Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.

 

4.       Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;

So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

 

5.       Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly,

Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

 

6.       There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,

There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;

Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: SATURDAY 26TH DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: SUBMISSION AND VICTORY.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.       

James 4:7

 

 

 

READ:  Matthew 8:5-9

 

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

 

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

 

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

 

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Submission goes hand in hand with victory. James 4:7 says that you should submit yourself first to God, then you can resist the devil and he will flee. In other words, if you have not submitted yourself to God, you cannot have victory over the devil. Many of us don’t want to submit to God, yet we want to cast out demons. Malachi 3:10 says we should bring all the tithes into His storehouse; we do not want to obey that, but we want God to open the windows of Heaven and just bring the breakthroughs. This will not happen because if you have not submitted to god’s conditions, you cannot get anything from Him.

 

 

The people in the military understand the concept very well. They know that as long as they remain submissive to their superiors, they will continue to enjoy authority over their subordinates. That is what the centurion was talking about it Matthew 8:9 when He told Jesus:

“For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.”

 

In there any area of your life in which you have been praying and trusting God for a miracle? You may need to check your level of submission to God. Once you are completely submissive to Him, victory is sure. Saul experienced defeats and died a shameful death because he felt too big to submit to God. David on the other hand was a great king, winning many victories because he was submissive to God. He said in Psalm 40:8:

            “ I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.”

 

Wives remember that the way to get what you want from your husband is through submission, not arguments and fights. I am yet to meet a man who can resist a submissive wife. When he says something that you do not agree with, don’t go straight into argument mode, go first into submission mode. You can then suggest an alternative. This way, he will hear you out. Now, if he does not go with your idea, you must agree with him and do as he has said, but at least you know that he considered your idea. And now, having established in his mind your submissiveness, it is easier to get anything from him than when he considers you stubborn.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

The lower you stoop, the higher you will rise.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  2 John 1

3 John 1

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 27: TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE.

 

1.       Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in endless praise.

 

2.       Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.

 

3.       Take my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

 

4.       Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

 

5.       Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

 

6.       Take my love, my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: FRIDAY 25TH DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: A MESSAGE OF HOPE.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.                               2 Corinthians 8:9

 

 

READ:  Luke 2:6-7

 

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

 

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Jesus came into this world in the most unusual way for a King. The circumstances surrounding His birth alone is a message to the whole world. The Christmas alone is a message of hope. It is a message which says that God can bring greatness out of a manger. It doesn’t matter how humble your background is; Jesus had a worse background just to show that you can soar high and rule notwithstanding your background. I am a living example od how Jesus can transform a nobody into somebody. When I was growing up in my village, we were so poor that even the poor people in the village called us poor. When my father brought an umbrella, the entire family celebrated; that is how poor we were. I never wore shoes until I was eighteen years old, and those I wore on that day were borrowed. But today, because I met Jesus and I am doing his will, people celebrate me all over the world. There is nothing I want to eat or wear now that I cannot afford. I tell you: the message of Jesus’ birth is a message of hope that your tomorrow shall be alright.

 

Jesus could have chosen to come from the best tribe and place in Israel, but He chose Nazareth, Nazareth was the lowest parlance. Jesus’ coming from Nazareth tells us that God does not discriminate against the lowly so He made sure His son came from one of them. John 1:46 says:

 

“……Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?”

 

 

Some may have asked “Can anything good come out of your family?” The answer you should give them is “Yes, I am the good thing that is coming out of my family”. Nazareth has become popular all over the world now because of Jesus. You will bring fame and blessings to your family in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

The wise will tell you that if you want to achieve what someone has does before, then you should copy that person. Copy Jesus. Read all that is recorded in the Bible about Him and just copy Him. Your greatness is assured in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Lord, help me to emulate the very character of Jesus during His earthly ministry.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  1 John 1-5

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 21: NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD.

 

 

1.       Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;

Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

 

2.       Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;

And guard us through all ills in this world, till the next!

 

3.       All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given,

The Son, and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven—

The one eternal God, Whom earth and Heav’n adore;

For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

MEMORISE:

 

 

 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.                    

Romans 8:37

 

 

READ:  1 John 4:4

 

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Someone once gave an analogy on what it means to be more than a conqueror’: When a boxer gets into the ring for a bout, he receives blows and jabs from the opponent; he bleeds and has a swollen face, but in the end if he knocks out his opponent, he is declared the winner. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. After receiving the belt, he hands if over to his wife. While he is conqueror, his wife is the one who is more than conqueror because without fighting at all, she got what the conqueror fought for.

 

Our memory verse says “We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” This means that, as Jesus’ bride, He has already given you victory without a fight; thus, you are more than a conqueror!

 

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”          John 16:33

 

Jesus, our bridegroom has overcome the world on our behalf already. Therefore, no matter the tribulation around, we will never be down; we will soa above it. He has also overcome poverty for your sake. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says:

“ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

 

As long as you are His bride, regardless of your present financial situation, you can’s die poor. Likewise, Christ has triumphed over sicknesses for you so no disease can stay in your body. Isaiah 53:5 tells us:

“ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

 

 

Are you His bride? Are you submissive to Him? Do you do His will? Surrender all to Him today and you will become more than a conqueror.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

As long as you are Christ’s bride, rest assured of continuous triumph.

Much stronger than all my foes

Yes, I know I am a victor

Very soon I’ll reign with Him

As He is so right now I am

THEME: YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT.

MEMORIZE:

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Psalms 91:7

BIBLE READING:

PSALMS 91:1-16

1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him will I trust.

3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

MESSAGE:

When the RCCG was to be established in Israel, a diplomat there warned “They will never register any Pentecostal church. Not only is the RCCG Pentecostal, it is a Nigerian church, so just forget it.”

I insisted “No sir, we will not forget it. Just submit our application and then let’s leave the rest to God.”

For courtesy’s sake, he took the letter and submitted it. To God’s glory, a few weeks later, we got our proof of registration.

Many years later, we needed permission from the government for a project. We were told we could not be permitted since we were a Pentecostal Church, and not registered.

They were surprised when we went back with our proof of registration. These only happened because our case is different.

In 1974, a little while after I had submitted my PhD thesis at the University of Lagos, I went on a Crusade at Ilesha and Ifewara while waiting to be called for the compulsory oral exam.

While I was there, the Head of my Department gave my thesis to the External Examiner.

Ordinarily, he should have posted it, but he took it in person, insisting on waiting until the Examiner concluded his assessment.

As a result, the Examiner was compelled to read my thesis promptly. When he was done, my HOD asked “When is the date for the exam?” to which he replied “I have no questions; give him his Ph.D.”

In the history of the world, I may be the only one with a Ph.D. who did not do an oral exam. Only because my case is different.

From today, doors will open everywhere you turn.

While others may be cast down, you shall experience a lifting. Nothing will be impossible for you.

From today, anywhere you go, anything you touch or intend to do shall be treated as different in a positive way by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your case is different because the Lord has chosen you. (1 Peter 2:9) says:

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”

PRAYER POINT

Father, make me Your special child so that in everything I do, my case will be different positively, in the mighty name of Jesus.

HYMN 12:/I AM THINE O LORD.

1. I am Thine O Lord

I have heard Thy voice

And it told Thy love to me

But I long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord

By the pow’r of grace divine

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope

And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God

I commune as friend with friend.

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: TUESDAY 22ND DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: DANGERS OF INGRATITUDE.

 

MEMORISE:

 

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.                                       Romans 1:21

 

 

READ:  Judge 15:14-19

 

14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

 

15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

 

16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

 

17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.

 

18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

 

19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

One day, I asked God why He punished king Saul so much while David who committed more sins was called the man after His heart. He responded by telling me to read 2 Samuel 6:14:

 

“And David danced before the Lord with all his might……”

 

Then He asked me to look for a place where Saul danced for Him. I searched and couldn’t find. I further decided to check where he said thank you to God somehow, but I didn’t find any. Not even when God raised him to be king. It was clear then that Saul’s downfall was majorly due to ingratitude.

 

Another person who failed due to ingratitude is Samson. All the time that the Bible records that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he did great exploits, not once did he say, “Thank you Lord”. In fact, probably the most glaring of such incidents was in Judges 15:17-18:

“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. And he was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”

 

Just after exploits so great that even he acknowledged they were from God, instead of giving thanks, all he did was complain. Ingratitude is a pointer to pride. Proverbs 16:18 saya that pride goes before a fall. Ungrateful people are proud and are heading for a fall. When you see a person who is always grateful, you see humility in the fellow and since God gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5), the grace of God will always take the person higher. Whatever chance you get, always remain grateful to God. Be grateful for even the little things that others take for granted; be grateful that you can sleep and wake the next day, that you can walk, that you can talk, that you can wear your clothes by yourself, that you can eat, that you can use the bathroom, that you can still, have a sound mind. In everything and for everything, give thanks for this is the will of God (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Father, I am grateful for all that You are doing for me; please Lord, help me never to be ungrateful.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Hebrews 11-13

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 21: NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD.

 

1.       Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;

Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

 

2.       Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;

And guard us through all ills in this world, till the next!

 

3.       All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given,

The Son, and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven—

The one eternal God, Whom earth and Heav’n adore;

For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: MONDAY 21ST DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: TRUE WORSHIP.

 

MEMORISE:

 

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:                                                                                                                                                              

Isaiah 29:13

 

 

 

READ:  1 Chronicles 16:23-31

 

23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

 

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

 

25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

 

26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

 

27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

 

28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

 

29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

 

30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

 

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

Worship- true worship is in the absolute submission of the heart to the One being worshipped and adored. You can pretend to be in awe of any human being and they would be deceived, but God searches the intentions of our heart, and that is why He knows those who truly worship Him. John 4:24 says:

            “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

 

Search your heart: are you a true worshipper? If you claim to be a worshipper and you still commit sin, you need to check your claim again. A true worshipper of God does not take with levity anything that concerns Him. David is a very good example of a true worshipper. He wrote many psalms praising God and talking about how he revered God showed that he truly esteemed Him greatly. He had a burden to build a temple for God and even though He told him not to, David didn’t just fold his hands; he provided all that would be needed to build it. That is clearly not eye service. David was a man after God’s own heart, because he practiced heartfelt worship.

 

If you’re not as committed to your tasks in Church when your Pastor is not around as you are when he is, you are not a true worshipper. If you worship God because you are expecting something in return, you are not amongst the true worshippers. God rejects heartless worship (Amos 5:21-24). Two people can come with similar offerings to Him and He will reject one and accept the other just like the case of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:15).

 

Are you a true worshipper?

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

Worship is a thing of the heart; actions merely express it.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Hebrews 7-10

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 16: LET US WITH A GLADSOME MIND.

 

 

1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,

praise the Lord for he is kind:

for his mercies shall endure,

ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us sound his name abroad,

for of gods he is the God:

for his mercies shall endure,

ever faithful, ever sure.

3 He with all-commanding might

filled the new-made world with light:

for his mercies shall endure,

ever faithful, ever sure.

4 All things living he doth feed;

his full hand supplies their need:

for his mercies shall endure,

ever faithful, ever sure.

5 Let us then, with glad-some mind,

praise the Lord for he is kind:

for his mercies shall endure,

ever faithful, ever sure.
