THEME: VICTORY OVER ADVERSITY

MEMORISE: 

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 

READ: John 5:4-6

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?

MESSAGE

Adversity may be a part of the system of this world, but my daddy – the Creator of the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1) – is greater than every adversity. Adversities are seemingly insurmountable circumstances that are greater than the power of man. They are mountains that hinder the progress of a person, a family or a group of people. Some adversities can be so great that the fellow would feel there is no way out. The Israelites faced this kind of adversity when they were delivered from slavery. Pharaoh and his army were coming behind and the Red Sea was right in front of them. The Israelites were afraid because, obviously, there was no way out. Humanly speaking, it was impossible to surmount such a situation. Even Moses did not know what to do until he cried out to God. My Daddy – the Almighty God – made a way where there was no way. For the first time in the history of man, a great body of water parted, and the children of Israel walked through that sea to the other side.

In the name of Jesus, I pray the Almighty God will deliver this kind of victory into your hands this day. This kind of unprecedented and unbelievable victory can only be found in Jesus Christ. The devil may raise storms around you, but Jesus gives absolute victory over every insurmountable situation.

Many years ago, during one of the Holy Ghost Congresses in Nigeria, a woman cried out for help, asking me to pray because she was barren, and her in-laws were not allowing her to enjoy peace in her home. I prayed for her and forgot about it. A year after this, I stood praying for people on a long line, and a woman stood before me, I asked her what she wanted, but she repeatedly said, “Jesus!” I was almost getting impatient. When I asked her again, she said “Jesus”, and explained to me that she was the woman I prayed for a year before about barrenness. Right there before me, she was holding a child with her right hand and one with her left. May God give you this kind of victory today in Jesus’ name.

God gives victory over adversities to His children. If you are yet to surrender your life totally to Jesus Christ, now is the time to do so, and every adversity against you will fall, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT

Father please, give me victory over every kind of adversity in my life, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 21-23

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 13: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

1 My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

 

Refrain:

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

3 His oath, His covenant, His blood,

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;

In Him, my righteousness, alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 31TH, 2022.

THEME: TAKE FEEDBACK

MEMORISE: 

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 

Proverbs 29:1 

READ: 2 Samuel 12:1 -13

1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:

3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

MESSAGE

Many a time, we do things that are wrong without knowing it. We just act as we like, whereas we are hurting other people or exhibiting a bad attitude. Those who are wise listen when people correct them and take to correction where appropriate. Those who are foolish however make excuses and ignore the correction. When we study the life of David and Saul, we will see the lot of the wise and the foolish ones. When Saul did wrong and Samuel corrected him, he made excuses and even tore Samuel’s garment in his refusal to take to correction in the presence of his subjects (1 Samuel 15:13-27). For David on the other hand, when Prophet Nathan corrected him, he immediately became sober and did all that he could to right his wrong (2 Samuel 12:15-18). At the end of the day, we see one of the reasons why God rejected Saul and loved David – their attitude to correction.

When people tell you that you get angry easily and you say, “No, I don’t get angry easily, it is just some useless people around me that get me angry”, or that you are lazy and sleep too much, but you respond, “The body is not wood; it needs rest once in a while, after all even Jesus slept while He was here on earth”, or even that you talk too much and you say, “Do you want me to become dumb?” then you have a problem and you must attend to it immediately. When God sends people to a person yet he or she keeps giving excuses, our memory verse for today says that the fellow would suddenly be destroyed and that destruction will be without remedy. If you want to see an example of this, look at Saul. The bible says in 1 Samuel 3:19 that God so honored the word of Prophet Samuel that not a word of his fell to the ground without being fulfilled, but when Samuel was pleading on behalf of Saul, God told him to stop wasting his time as He already found a replacement for him. (1 Samuel 16:1).

That little behavior that your spouse, boss, colleague, family members or neighbor have been correcting you about can either make or mar you; it depends on whether you take the correction or not. That little thing can bring irredeemable destruction if you are not careful. A word is enough for the wise.

REFLECTION

What are those things people have been telling you that you need to correct? Take the feedback today and begin to make necessary corrections in line with God's word.

THEME: UNTIL YOUR JOY BE FULL II

MEMORISED: 

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 

Psalms 40:1 

READ: Psalms 40:1-5

1  I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

MESSAGE

Many years ago in my home town, we needed to dig a well, so we called someone to do the job. After he had dug for so long and did not hit water, he gave up. Since our agreement was that we would pay him when he found water, he gave up the money too. We then called someone else to finish the job. The fellow also negotiated his pay and we agreed. The newly hired man continued from where the first man had left off and just as his digger hit the ground, water gushed out. Before long, he was done with his job and he collected all the money that the other fellow would have collected, without doing as much work. You may just be one prayer away from receiving your answer. If you stop praying now, all the time and effort invested in praying over that matter may go to waste.

God can never withhold anything good from His children (Luke 11:11-13). He actually even wants better things for you that you can pray for. There may be things you have been asking Him for over a period of time; don’t worry, He can hear you and will answer in due time. when I was still living in the house that is now called Open Heavens International Centre, my prayer room was more accessible to the children, but whenever I was in there, nobody dared disturb me except my youngest child who would come in anytime he wanted me to give him some cookies. Sometimes I would ignore him, hoping that he would leave me alone, but he would not give up. At last, I would realize that if I really wanted to pray, I would have to get up from my prayers and attend to him first. Can you keep asking God for what you want until He says, “I had better give this boy/girl what he/she wants so that I can rest”? Certain destiny-changing miracles will not take place until you are ready to tell God, “I will not let You go unless You bless me” like Jacob did. Ask your spouse to pray along with you whenever you seem to be getting weary in praying over a particular matter. If you are not married, look for a Christian, preferably of the same gender, who can pray with you, so the person’s iron may sharpen yours (Proverbs 27:17).

If what you are asking for is the will of God and you don’t give up, your answer will come in due season.

ACTION POINT

Pray without ceasing.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 14-16

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

That calls me from a world of care, 

And bids me at my Father's throne

Make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

My soul has often found relief, 

And oft escape the tempter's snare 

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

Thy wings shall my petition bear 

To him whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless; 

And since He bids me seek His face

Believe His word, and trust His grace, 

I'll cast on Him my every care, 

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

May I thy consolation share

Till, from mount Pisgah's lofty height, 

I view my home and take my flight; 

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise 

To seize the ever lasting prize 

And shout while passing through the air, 

Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

THEME: UNTIL YOUR JOY BE FULL 1

MEMORISE: 

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Luke 18:1

READ: Luke 18:1 -8

1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

MESSAGE

The wicked judge never respected anyone. He never deferred to anyone. However as this poor widow troubled him relentlessly with her cry for justice, we see that the judge who was wicked had to response to her so that he could rest. Many children of God give up on their prayer before God responds to them. If that woman had stopped knocking just at the point at which the judge was deciding to grant her request, she would not have had justice. Many Christian were only one more prayer away when they gave up and lost their miracle. Sometimes you pray once and God will answer immediately, but at other times, you need to keep pressing in the spirit for your answer to come. If you stop pressing at some point, the answer may not come. That is why the concluding part of John 16:24 says:

…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

I know that sometimes God wants you to keep praying, not because He doesn’t want to answer, but because there is something He wants to perfect in you and that thing can only be completed when you press deeper into the spirit.

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.  

James 1:3-4

I can tell you for sure: if God had answered all my prayers the very first time I asked, I would not be as deeply involved with Him as I am today. Prayer is more a blessing for us, than it is for God. You must always remember that prayer does not change who God is, prayer changes you. The more you pray and commit to prayer, the more strengthened you become as a Christian. There may be things you want God to do for you; even if those things are yet to come, don’t ever give up praying. God is not reluctant to give you what you asked for, but with your constant prayer in faith, you’re building a cloud of blessings that will soon break out upon you. Until your joy is full, don’t stop knocking on heaven’s door. Keep pressing in the spirit until your answer comes.

ACTION POINT

What are those things you have stopped praying for now simply because the answer didn't come? List them out now and begin to include them in your daily prayers again.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 12-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN12: MY FAITH LOOKS 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;

O 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;

O bear me safe above,

a ransomed soul!

THEME: PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH

MEMORISE:  

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 

Acts 2:42 

READ: Acts 2:42 -47

42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

MESSAGE

1. Father, thank You for building Your Church and ensuring that the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.

2. Father, please flush out every impurity that exists in the Church today and let everyone who claims to be Your child begin to live holy indeed, in Jesus’ name.      

3. Father, let the Church become aware of its primary purpose of winning souls into Your Kingdom and let us pursue it vigorously until You return.

4. My Lord and my God, please give all genuine men and women of God all over the world the spirit of diligence in prayer, fasting and study of Your word.

5. Lord, please raise more committed soulwinners, in the mighty name of Jesus.

6. Father, please raise more servant-leaders in the Church – people who will be more interested in service than glamour of leadership, in the name of Jesus.

7. Father, please raise great role models from the Church and let them have great influence on people than worldly ones in Jesus’ name.

8. Lord, Your word says in Proverbs 29:2 that when the righteous rule, the people rejoice. Please, begin to raise great political leaders from the Church in Jesus’ name – leaders who will create policies in line with Your word and lead the people in the fear of the Lord, in Jesus’ name.  

9. Father, please promote every genuine evangelistic move, revival, or project that You have started in the body of Christ, in Jesus’ name.

10. Father, please provide abundantly all resources – whether human or material, needed for Your Church to grow stronger and bigger, in Jesus’ name.

11. Father, please let Your Church become, more compassionate towards the society. Let your Church care, more than ever before, for the sick, the poor, the imprisoned, the rejected, and those who have been hurt in one way or the other, in Jesus’ name.

12. Your personal prayer points for the local Church you belong to.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mathew 28:20

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ would be considered useless if the children of God – those who come to God through Jesus Christ- were not overcomers. Jesus achieved the ultimate victory over the devil and over the world, so that the children of God can live as overcomers. Jesus died on the cross at Calvary for you and was raised from the dead so that the devil and his agents will not have dominion over you (Colossians 2:13-15).

You may then wonder why some Christians still suffer under the oppression of the devil. Well, if a child of God does not take his place in prayer, Bible study, and holy living, he cannot enjoy the victory that Christ Jesus won for him. The bible already states that we can only judge all disobedience when our obedience is complete (2 Corinthians 10:6).

The victory in Christ Jesus that you continually exercise over the devil, challenges, and unpalatable circumstances is dependent upon your submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

James 4:7

Before you resist the devil and he flees, you must first have submitted to God. If you don’t submit to God, the devil will also not flee when you resist him. The devil is not afraid of you, he knows that he can overcome you if you are not standing in Jesus Christ. He knows that you don’t have any power to harm him whereas he can harm you. He knows all these so cannot be afraid of you. However, when you go under the authority of the Almighty, then he trembles at your mere presence. The Centurion told Jesus that his soldiers obeyed him because he was a man under authority (Matthew 8: 9). If you want the devil and his agents to obey you, you must be under the authority of the Almighty. If you want the devil and his agents to obey you, you must be under the authority of the Most High. It is as simple as that.

KEY POINT

It is God's responsibility to enforce your victory over the world. It is your responsibility to remain submitted to Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 6-8

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 2: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW WE ARE

1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,

Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,

If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;

Nothing ‘gainst his mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.

Refrain:

Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;

God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,

Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,

Yet who lives and reigns again,

More than conquerors are we,

More than conquerors are we.

2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,

Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;

Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,

For salvation and for blood-bought victory. 

3 Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n

Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;

Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,

And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY JULY 26TH, 2022.

THEME: ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD?

MEMORISE:  

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

John 10:14

READ: Galatians 3:21-26

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

MESSAGE

In Ephesians 5:1, the Bible says:

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.

Anyone who claims to be a child of God must also ensure that he or she behaves like God. If a child claims to belong to a father and he is loyal to another father, that would be deemed a bastard. This means that if you claim to be a child of God, you may need to check where you really stand. 1 John 3:9 says those who are born of God do not sin. Are you still sinning and feeling it is normal. A true child of God cannot consider sin to be normal. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:16:

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

What is this fruit? It is the fruit that proves to everyone that meets you that you have the Spirit of God living in you – the fruit of the Spirit. What fruits do you bear? Based on the fruits that you bear, whose child can your colleagues, family members and your neighbors say that you are? Do your colleagues bring offers to you to cheat your organization because they know you will consent to them? If yes, you are not bearing fruits for God but for the devil. Do you still repay evil with evil? That is not the character of God but the devil. You need to be clear whose child you are so you don’t fall into the category of a bastard. If you are a child of the devil, why claim to be a child of God? Why join the children of God to suffer your stomach when it is time to fast? Why not just go ahead and live for the devil all the way so when he is to be sent to the lake of fire you’ll go along with him? However, if you claim to really be a child of God, then your character should resemble that of Christ and everyone around you should testify that you resemble your Father in heaven.

On the last day, Jesus will sift the shaft away from the wheat. He will separate the bsastards from His real children. This is because, on the last day, He will tell some people “I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity” (Luke 13:27). If you are indeed a child of God, you will be living a holy life.

REFLECTION

Take a moments to inspect your life right now. In what areas have you not been behaving like God? Repent and start to behave like your Father.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 3-5

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 10: JESUS MY LORD MY GOD MY ALL

1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

hear me, and from thy dwelling place

pour down the riches of thy grace.

Refrain:

Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;

O make me love thee more and more.

2 Jesus, too late I thee have sought;

how can I love thee as I ought?

And how extol thy matchless fame,

the glorious beauty of thy name? 

3 Jesus, what didst thou find in me

that thou hast dealt so lovingly?

How great the joy that thou hast brought,

so far exceeding hope or thought! 

4 Jesus, of thee shall be my song;

to thee my heart and soul belong;

all that I have or am is thine,

and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.

THEME: HE WILL RETURN

MEMORISE: 

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 

Luke 12:37 

Romans 13:11 -14

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

MESSAGE

Many years ago, when I just became born again and began to seriously serve the Lord, the message of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was preached often. It was so rampant that we had to beg the University students to continue with their education; after all, Jesus said "occupy till I come" (Luke 19:13).The Yoruba Christians had a common greeting amongst themselves that says “Eku afojusona ipada Jesu Kristi” meaning “Well done as you look forward to the return of Jesus Christ”. Today however, there are very few messages that reminds people of the Lord’s return. People-pleasing sermons have taken over the pulpit. You would hardly see any Christians living in expectations of the Lord’s return.

A man who is preparing for the Lord’s return will never maltreat his wife. A wife who knows the Lord will return suddenly will respect her husband. An employee who is expecting the Lord’s return will not cheat his or her employer. A preacher who is preparing for the Lord’s return will not withhold the truth from the people of God in the congregation. Every child of God who is truly serious with his walk with the Lord will avoid anything and everything that could hold him or her back from going with the Lord. Whether we like it or not, the Lord will return. If you are a minister of God, you have the responsibility to keep warning God’s sheep, whom He placed in your care, to keep watching for the return of the Lord. If you, as a minister, are not preparing, it will be difficult for your flock to prepare.

There has never been a time when the message of the Lord had been needful. The world is in serious chaos, yet, millions of God’s children are sleeping. In any case, Jesus Christ already spoke about what is happening in the world today: that many will sleep (Matthew 13:25). It is my prayer that you will not sleep the sleep of death in Jesus’ name.

On the last day, only the faithful of God will raptured. No matter how deep the world sleeps, Jesus Christ will still return. Therefore, you had better stop playing around and begin to live holy. I have done my duty by telling you the truth, God will not hold me responsible for not telling you. Where you will end up is now left to you.

PRAYER POINT

Heavenly Father, please help me not to sleep the sleep of death. Keep me awake to watch and pray until You return.

BIBLES IN ONE YEAR: Proverb 1-2

HYMN 6: HO MY COMRADES SEE THE SIGNAL 

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 

Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to heaven, 

“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing, 

Satan leading on,

Mighty ones around us falling, 

courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving, 

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we 

triumph over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages, 

but our help is near,

Onward comes our great Commander, 

cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 24TH, 2022.

THEME: VISA TO HEAVEN

MEMORISE:  

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 

Matthew 5:8

READ: Psalms 24:3 -5

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

MESSAGE

From the memory verse, we see straightaway that the visa to heaven is a pure heart. The state of your heart determines whether you will go to heaven or not. This because your words and actions will be based on the state of your heart. Matthew 12:34 says:

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew 5:24 says that if you look at a woman to lust after her, you have committed adultery already. The same is true for women. Leviticus 17:11 says that the life of an animal is in its blood. The heart is the organ that pumps blood into the body: this means that the heart is the seat of life. Keep your heart diligently for indeed, out of it comes the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).

When you become born again, your bloodline changes. You are now from the bloodline of God. Your heart therefore becomes brand new. This is why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says when you become born again, you are now a new creature. In Ezekiel 36:26, the Lord says He will give you a new heart. With this new heart, you have a new life flowing within you – the life of Christ Himself. 1 John 3:9 says:

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born God.

If you are born of God, your heart now pumps the life of Jesus into your body, so you cannot commit sin. This is why I wonder at the doctrine of the ‘extreme grace’ preachers who say you can become born again and still continue sinning. If you are still permitting sin in your life, don’t deceive yourself, you don’t have the life of Christ in you. Holiness is not a doctrine of the Old Testament, it is the lifestyle and nature of children of God, whether in the Old Testament or not. Yesterday, in this devotional, we discussed holiness and we did not make any reference to any Old Testament Scripture; all the Scriptures were from the New Testament. Don’t let anyone deceive you with false doctrines of grace coexisting with sin. Without holiness, no man can see God.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to keep my heart pure at all times.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 146- 150

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE  

HYMN 8: 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 Canaan’s tableland;

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;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My prayer, 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 rest I’ve found,

“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY JULY 23RD, 2022.

THEME: SEEING GOD FACE TO FACE

MEMORISE:  

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 

Revelation 22:4

READ: 1 John 3:2-10

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

MESSAGE 

One day, one glorious day, I will see God face to face. The word of God confirms this to me (1 John 3:2)

I don’t know about you, but I’m eagerly looking forward to that day. According to 1 Timothy 6:16, this God that we are looking forward to seeing dwells in light that no ordinary man can approach. The glory around Him is so great that it is impossible for any man to come close to Him, yet I want to see Him. How will that be possible? This is why the bible says in Ephesians 5:27 that the one who will be the bride of Jesus must be without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Believe me honestly, if you have been thinking you will make it to heaven with those seemingly little occasional sins you permit in your life, you have been deceiving yourself. There will surprises on that day. Anyone that has just one spot on that day will not be allowed into heaven on that day. This is why the bible says in 1 John 1:7 that the blood of Jesus cleanses from ALL sins. Not 99% of sins, but ALL sins.

In 1 Peter 1:15, we see the standard of holiness that God expects from us:

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conservation;

We are to be holy as He is holy. In other words, the standard of your holiness is not to be that of your Pastor or General Overseer because they may think that some things are tolerable. Your standard of holiness must be as God is holy. In Matthew 5:48, Jesus Christ Himself said you must be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. You are to be so holy that in 1 Thessalonians 5:22, the bible says that you must avoid everything that just appears evil. Not just what is actually evil, but everything that appears evil must be avoided. God is very serious about you living holy, he doesn’t take it lightly at all. You see, if you are to approach his great glory, you cannot do so with any iota of sin in your life. Ephesians 5:3-4 says you cannot even partake in unholy jokes, so if you find some people jesting and it include some carnality and impurity, you are not to partake in such jests. Do you really want to see God on that day? If you do, then you must live completely holy.    

PRAYER POINT

Father, give me the grace to be holy as You are holy, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 14: 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,

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,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer 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,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer 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,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upward I fly,

Still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: FRIDAY JULY 22ND, 2022.

THEME: JUDGING GOD?

MEMORISE:  

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 

Isaiah 45:9

READ: Luke 18:9 -14

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

MESSAGE

Wouldn’t it be a funny scene if someone were to have a case in court and then during the court proceedings, the accused turns to the judge and says, “You are the representative of the government. It is because the government did not take care of me that I did what I did, so you are the guilty one”. That was what happened in Genesis 3:8-12 when God asked Adam why he was hiding from Him.

In Matthew 25:14-30, we read the story of a master who gave three of his servant talents to trade with while he was away on a journey. Two traded their talents while the last servant who was given one talent didn’t. when the master returned and asked for a report, the last one came with judgment for his master. He said, you are the guilty one sir. First you give everybody more talent than you gave me. Secondly, I know you to be wicked man who always reaps where he doesn’t sow, and so I hide your talent”. Jesus told this story to point out to us that many of us are judging our Master – the Most High God. We tell Him, “The way I’m behaving is because of You. You are guilty one, You are the one who made me the way I am”. The talent was collected from the judgmental servant and he was thrown out of the presence of the Master into outer darkness, sorrow and pain. Next time you are tempted to judge God, be careful because the result is not likely to be pleasant.

When you go to God in prayer, don’t go telling Him that, in spite of how good you are, He refused to answer your prayers, ask Him for mercy because when you consider everything, you will realize how many things you need to improve on and how you don’t even deserve the things that God has already given you.

A woman came to me complaining bitterly, questioning why God had refused to bless her despite paying her tithes regularly, giving offerings and always making herself available to work for God. She had forgotten that she had told me earlier that she was then in her third marriage. I told her that what she needed from God was mercy. When I go to God I just say, “Lord, please have mercy on me”.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please just have mercy on me.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 139- 140

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 17: O LORD MY GOD, WHEN I IN AWESOME WONDER

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

consider all the works thy hand hath made,

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

thy power throughout the universe displayed;

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,

how great thou art, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour 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 hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

Then sings my soul…

3. 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:

Then sings my soul…

4. When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation

and take me home – what joy shall fill my heart!

Then shall I bow in humble adoration

and there proclaim, ‘my God, how great thou art!’

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: THURSDAY JULY 21ST, 2022.

THEME: THE ORIGINATOR OF ALL THINGS

MEMORISE:  

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

James 1:17

READ: Daniel 4:27 -37

27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

MESSAGE

One day, I was on a prayer walk when I got into a conversation with God. You see, if you were to ask a primary school pupil what the origin of a building is, he would say it is in the architect’s mind. A secondary student would say it is in the owner’s mind. Someone who has a bit of deeper knowledge would tell you that the origin of the building started when the owner of the building was born. If you were to consider it more deeply, you would see that if the parents of the owner of the building had never met each other to conceive him or her, the building would never have been built. Then again, if the parents were not born, they would never have met each other and the building would never have been built. By the time you go on and on, you would discover that everything we see in this world originated from God Himself. Every single thing.

Now, look at all the things you have. Where do they originate from? From you or from God? Many times, people say, “I worked hard to achieve the things I have. I used my brain well and money came in”. Who owns that brain of yours? There was a professor who always sat in front of my grammar school when I was a student there. If you want to hear real history, all you had to do was just buy him a drink and he will tell you all that you needed to know about the history of any part of the world you asked of, yet he could not remember his own name. It is only by the mercy of God that your brain is still working. It is only by His mercy that you are not homeless today. It doesn’t matter what you achieved, it all came from God and if you decide to raise your shoulders too high, He can withdraw it all, as in the case of Nebuchadnezzar in our bible reading today. He thought that all that he had was achieved by his own wisdom, so God decided to teach him a lesson. God just shifted something tiny in his brain and before anyone knew it, the king was out in the field eating grass for seven years. The moment God had mercy on him and restored his senses, he ceased from praising himself and started praising God, saying “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase” (Daniel 4:37).

PRAYER POINT

Father, I just want to praise you for all that you have given me. I recognize that it is not by my power that I have whatever I have, it is by your mercy. Thank you Lord, for showing me mercy.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 136-138

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 19: O WORSHIP THE KING ALL GLORIOUS ABOVE

1 O worship the King all-glorious above,

O gratefully sing his power and his love:

our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,

pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,

whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.

Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,

our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,

whom angels delight to worship above!

Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,

in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 20TH, 2022.

THEME: THE DANGEROUS MIXTURE

MEMORISE:  

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 

2 Corinthians 6:15

READ: Matthew 6:24 

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

MESSAGE            

Many years ago, I travelled for a ministration. After I was done ministering, I got in my car but it refused to start. I called a mechanic to look at it and he discovered that the petrol I had bought into the car was mixed with water, hence he had to empty the tank and get rid of every particle of water in it then put pure petrol in it before I could move. While I was waiting for him to finish working on the car a message hit me. The car could not move on a mixture of petrol and water, so also, many people don’t move forward in life because they are mixing light with darkness in their lives. Indeed, what fellowship has light with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14)?

If you want God to multiply your finances, don’t mix stolen funds with your legitimate earnings. Once you start stealing money, forget about God’s blessings.

One day; a governor came to me for prayers towards his contest for a second term in office. God said to me that he would win and I told him.  However, the elections came and he lost. It was absolutely clear that the election was rigged. I went back to God and said, “Lord, but you are the One who said this man would win; what happened?” God told me to send for him and ask him what happened, because after he left the Redemption Camp, he went to have meetings with witches and people of the occult. God said He had already decided that he would win the election, but when he went to meet occultic people, He changed His mind, it still surprises me that as much as we have said that God hates sin, many people don’t understand it. You cannot continue to sin and expect God’s grace to abound! God forbid! (Romans 6:1-2),. If you want God to be involved in your life, stay away from anything He hates. Don’t lift up ‘holy’ hands in Church and then use the same mouth to tell lies. You are inviting God’s wrath that way.

If you want to serve the devil, serve him wholeheartedly rather than to try and serve God and the devil at the same time. If you want to serve God, you will have to hearken diligently to His word, and in return, He will give you abundant life. Don’t mix the two.

KEY POINT 

You cannot continue in sin and expects God's grace to abound in your life. God forbids it.
