Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 1ST, 2022.


TOPIC: DON'T LAUGH


MEMORISE:

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:” 

Proverbs 24:17


READ: Proverbs 24:17-18 (KJV)

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:


18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.


MESSAGE:

God’s standards sometimes appear tough to live by, but when you adhere to them, you would soon discover that they ultimately work in your favour. One of such standards is in Matthew 5:44:


But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


He said you should love your enemies. Believe me honestly, if you really have enemies and know them, you will agree with me that loving them would be a hard thing to do. Nevertheless, you must love them. In verse 45 of the same Matthew 5, the Lord said:

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.


In other words, if you don’t love your enemies, then you are not a child of God. If you laugh at your enemies in their day of calamity, then you are not a child of God. That is why you cannot make fun of your enemies when things are going badly for them; it is an attribute of the devil. Worse still is if you are cursing the fellow and praying that things go bad for him; you cannot do that and still call yourself a child of God. In Romans 12:14-15, the Bible says:

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.


That passage did not say rejoice when your enemy is weeping, or weep when only your friends are weeping. Should there be days when your enemy is weeping, be there to comfort him or her. Pray for them that their weeping will end soon. Don’t be happy at the fall or calamity of someone else; that is not an attribute of a child of God. The Bible reading says that if you rejoice at a person’s downfall, God would be displeased with you.


Don’t annoy God.


KEY POINT:

Don't laugh when your enemies fall.

HYMN 30: WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE


1 Wonderful story of love!

Wonderful story of love!

Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,

Shepherds with wonder receive it;

Sinner, O won’t you believe it?

Wonderful story of love!


Refrain:

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!


2 Wonderful story of love!

Though you are far away;

Wonderful story of love!

Still he doth call today.

Calling from Calvary’s mountain,

Down from the crystal bright fountain,

E’en from the dawn of creation;

Wonderful story of love!


3 Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;

Wonderful story of love!

For all the pure and blest;

Rest in those mansions above us,

With those who’ve gone on before us,

Singing the rapturous chorus;

Wonderful story of love!


HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 31ST, 2022.


THEME: DEALING WITH DEMON POSSESSED PEOPLE


MEMORISE: 

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 

Hebrews 12:24


READ: Revelation 12:11 

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


MESSAGE

Not everybody you see walking around is normal. Many are possessed by demons. Some people are addicted to fornication, some are obsessed with material things, some spend time in places where demons operate, like nightclubs and so on. Such people are very likely to be demon-possessed. There are ways in which you can know if someone is demon-possessed. However, the best way to ascertain whether someone is demon-possessed is by the gift of discerning of spirits. In any case, if you suspect that somebody is demon-possessed and you have to do anything with the fellow, then you need to cover yourself in the blood of Jesus always.


The blood of Jesus marks you as untouchable to forces of darkness. By covering yourself in the blood of Jesus, you are affirming that you belong to Him and therefore, demons should stay away from you. This can also go for your property. You can cover all your possessions with the blood of Jesus and then tell the devil not to go near them. If for example, you have a staff who you suspect is demon-possessed and the fellow has refused to surrender his/her life to Christ, in order to ensure that demons don't have any influence over your business, then you must always plead the blood of Jesus over it.


In Exodus 12:13, God told the Israelites:


And the blood shall be to you a token upon the houses where ye are: and when l see the blood, l will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when l smite the land of Egypt.


Whatever is covered in the blood of Jesus is too hot for demons to touch. Cover everything connected to you - including your children, with the blood of Jesus. You don't know the kind of friends they will meet and play with in school or even the kind of teacher that would be teaching them.


PRAYER POINT

I cover myself, my loved ones and all that concerns me with the blood of Jesus.

DATE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 30TH, 2022.


THEME: HE HEARS YOU


MEMORISE: 

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 

1 Peter 3:12


READ: 1 John 5:14 -15

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:


15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired ofhim.


MESSAGE

At times when we pray, it seems as if God cannot hear. I want to assure you today that as long as you are praying with a holy heart, God can hear every word you speak to Him.


And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of the saints.


Revelation 5:8


These four beasts and twenty-four elders who are carrying our prayers are right there at the throne of God. Our prayers are rising up to Him. This means your prayers go straight to the throne room of God, so He hears when you pray to Him. He has probably answered you already but you are not listening because you are bent on getting what you want that you cannot hear Him. It could also be that your answer is on its way and the set time for it to arrive has not come yet. Whatever the reason may be, God can hear your prayers. Don't stop praying because you think He cannot hear; He hears it all. Some of the prayers you prayed many years ago have come to pass in your life now, so pray into your future.


There is one kind of prayer l have discovered that God answer speedily. Except the answer to the prayer will not be for the good of the fellow praying, God will answer a heart cry speedily. For a long time, Hannah had been going to Shiloh and asking God for a baby but she got no answer. In 1 Samuel 1:10-13 she didn't come just to ask, she came with a heart cry; her heart cried out for a miracle. The Bible says that she was talking but her voice was not heard.


Many years ago, l witnessed the circumcision of a baby boy. As his foreskin was cut, the boy screamed in pain. He cried to a point where his voice couldn't be heard. That was a heart cry. You get to the point of sending a heart cry to heaven when you can no longer take the situation anymore. When you are still coping with the situation, your answer may be delayed, but when you decide that enough is enough and you cry to God from deep within your heart for a miracle, He cannot delay the answer to that kind of prayer.


KEY POINT 

If you are a child of God, your prayer go straight to Him. Keep praying

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 9-10


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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY OCTOBER 29TH, 2022.


THEME: NO LOVE WITHOUT DISCIPLINE 


MEMORISE: 

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. 

Proverbs 13:24


READ: Proverbs 3:11 -12

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:


12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.


MESSAGE

If you want God to love you, then He will discipline you. The more He loves you, the more He will discipline you. God loves children who bear fruits (win souls), very specially, so He said that any tree that bears fruit, He will prune: 


Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

John 15:2


The purpose of pruning and discipline is to make you bear more fruits and become even greater in the realm of the Spirit.


If God disciplines you whenever you do something wrong, you should rejoice because it means that you are special to Him and He wouldn't leave you to be destroyed. However, if you are doing something wrong and God is silent about your wrong-doing, you should run to Him and cry for mercy because it most likely means that He has left you for destruction. This often happens when He had warned a person severally but the person didn't listen. We see an example of this in Hosea 4:17 which says:


Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 


Romans 1:28 also says:


And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


If you stole but weren't caught, fornicated but everything seems to be going on as normal, run to God for mercy because He has probably left you in the hand of the devil. Don't continue in your sin because there was no repercussion or chastisement; cry to Him for mercy. Tell Him you are sorry and ready to forsake sin. He saw what you did and the fact that He is acting as if He didn't see it should send you on your knees begging for mercy if you don't want to be destroyed. 


KEY POINT

If you sin and God is silent, you are already losing your place as His beloved child; cry to Him for mercy.

1 Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus

Daily let me go;

Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,

Oh, deeper yet, I pray,

And higher ev'ry day,

And wiser, blessed Lord,

In Thy precious, holy word.


2 Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

Take me deeper still,

Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,

And His perfect will.


3 Deeper, deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,

Deeper let me go!

Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,

Let me fruitful grow.


4 Deeper, higher, ev'ry day in Jesus,

Till all conflict past,

Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image

Perfected at last.

DATE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH, 2022.


THEME: BEHOLD, HE COMES


MEMORIZE: 

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 

Revelation 22:12


READ: Revelation 22:6-12

6. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.


7. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.


8. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.


9. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.


10. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.


11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.


12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.


MESSAGE

So many people are sleeping and making compromises everywhere they turn. It is almost impossible to find people who are really expecting the return of Jesus Christ. We must be careful not to be so carried away with prosperity and abundance that we forget there is a home for us beyond this earth.

If we would not miss that heavenly home, we must trim our lamps and get ourselves ready, because if Jesus says He will return, then He will certainly return. Everyone should seriously give thought to where he or she will be when the rapture happens or when the Lord says it is time to leave the earth.


I remember that during a conference for Pentecostal Pastors in Nigeria long ago, a man of God who was much younger than I came to preach. The young man preached vehemently about the Kingdom of God, hell, the lake of fire, and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He dissected the word of God about this matter so much that we were all glued to our seats. You can imagine the absolute silence in the hall that day. By the time he was through with his sermon, we were all sober. As the leader of the meeting, I was supposed to round off and as I mounted the podium I said, ‘Jesus is truly coming soon, but when a man dies before Jesus returns, his own Jesus has come then.” That was all I said.

I travelled and returned two weeks later to learn that the young man of God who had preached that very serious sermon had died. His Jesus had come. 


My beloved, you should not joke about this matter, because it is an issue of eternal life or death.

The choice a person makes here on earth will determine where the fellow will spend his or her eternity and I can tell you that eternity is such a long time. The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 


“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”


If you don’t believe me, at least believe the Bible. As soon as a fellow dies, he will face judgement before God. If death is inevitable for all of us, then we must be careful how we live our lives. Behold, Jesus is coming for His bride the saints. You must be prepared to meet the Bridegroom so you are not left behind.


PRAYER POINT

Father, when You come to collect Your people, please do not let me be left behind in Jesus name.

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, Jesus, for leaving all Your glory in heaven to come and die for me at  Calvary, that I may be saved from eternal destruction in hell fire.


2.Thank You, Father, for making me more than conqueror through Christ that loved me and died for me.


3.Thank You, Father, for first loving me, in that while I was yet a sinner, You gave Your only begotten son, Jesus, to die for me.


4.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me; let Your mercy prevail over any judgement of sin in my life, in Jesus name.


5.Father, remove from my life every spirit of lukewarmness and fear, and give the spirit of boldness, to preach Your word in season and out of season, in Jesus name.


6.Father, please, let me be sold out for You; let me be willing to preach the gospel of the lord Jesus Christ, outside my comfort zone, in Jesus name.


7.I declare that for me to live is Christ and to die is gain; therefore, nothing shall be able to separate me from the love of Christ, in Jesus name.


8.Father, please, go ahead of me on this 

journey, and straighten every crooked path; let every obstacle on my way be a stepping stone into my miracles and breakthroughs, in Jesus name.


9.Father, let nothing prevent me from doing Your work; let no tribulation, distress, persecution, nakedness, peril, principalities and powers, be able to separate me from Your love, in Jesus name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 27TH, 2022.


THEME: SOLD OUT TO GOD?


MEMORISE: 

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 

Philippians 1:21 


READ: Romans 8:35 -39

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?


36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.


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


38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,


39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


MESSAGE

An evangelist travelled to a village with the sole aim of winning souls into the Kingdom of God. His mission was very successful and many of the villagers gave their lives to Christ. After spending some months with them, he decided to go to the next village to win souls too. The villagers told him that there were lions between both villages, and if anyone ever tried to cross from one to the other, the lions would eat him up. The evangelist, however, insisted on going to the next village to preach. When it seemed as if he would not back down, one of the villagers decided that he would go ahead of him so that the lions could eat him and then be too filled up to eat the evangelist as he crossed over to the other village to preach. That villager was completely sold out to God. He was sold out to the point of being willing to lay down his life for the gospel to be preached to sinners. Are you sold out to Christ? John 12:25 says "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal".


When l was a lecturer at the University of Ilorin, there was a village where the people hated Christians so much that they could kill anyone who went there to preach. I gathered people and we went there preaching from door to door and sharing tracts. Twice, we were reported to the village head and we told him that we were only sharing tracts and speaking to the people. When it started getting dark, my people suggested that we should go but l told them, "We will wait and show the film, as planned". To the glory of God, those villagers came out for the altar call at night. Today, in that same community, there are many parishes of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. The  community is now won to Christ  because we were sold out to God and did not shy away from the challenge of preaching  the gospel in a hostile environment.


If a person loves his or her life so much that they cannot risk it for the gospel of Christ, such a person will lose that same life. God is not interested in you if you are not totally sold out to Him. In Revelation 3:15-16, He said you should either be hot or cold. If you are lukewarm, He will spew you out of His mouth. You are either sold out to Him or not for Him at all. Choose wisely today.


REFLECTION 

Are you really sold out to God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 2-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


Hymn 29: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD IN THE STORM OF LIFE


1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,

Will your anchor drift or firm remain?


Refrain:

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.


2 It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;

And the cables passed from His heart to mine,

Can defy the blast, through strength divine.


3 It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,

When the breakers have told the reef is near;

Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,

Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.


4 It will surely hold in the floods of death,

When the waters cold chill our latest breath;

On the rising tide it can never fail,

While our hopes abide within the veil.

DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26TH, 2022.


THEME: SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS


MEMORISE: 

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

James 4:4


READ: 2 Corinthians 6:14 -18

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


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


16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,


18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


MESSAGE

It is important to have friends who are also Children of God - people with whom you can discuss the Bible and things of God. You will spend two hours discussing the Bible with such persons and it would seem as if you have only been together for five minutes. They are friends with whom you discuss what God is currently teaching you in the scriptures, they do likewise and then you just keep going deeper into Scriptural teachings about different issues. This is what the Bible refers to as iron sharpening iron and friends sharpening each other"s countenance (Proverbs 27:17).


You need your spiritual countenance sharpened regularly and these conversations go a long way in doing that. In these kinds of conversations, you are not been preached to, so it is a two-way thing. As you and your friend or friends study the Bible together, you begin to see more clearly some hitherto blurry areas of the Scriptures or even understand better some of the things happening in your life. In the process of doing this, your spiritual countenance and outlook are sharpened.


These conversation have a way of impacting you differently from the message being preached from the altar would. This is one of the great benefits of the House Fellowship system which we operate in The Redeemed Christian Church of God. There is no Pastor in the House Fellowship, just a leader to coordinate things; everyone is just to discuss the word of God from their own perspective.


If you don't have such people with whom you discuss Scriptures, you Need to either change your friends or make new ones. If you are so busy that you don't have much time to spend with friends, at least have such conversation with your spouse. Even now, my wife and l still have such conversations. I remember not so long ago when we were discussing the great power that must have been in the meal Elijah ate in 1 Kings 19:5-8 which gave him strength for 40 straight days. It was always very interesting when you can find someone who is more knowledgeable in Scriptures than you; you are likely to leave such a meeting really charged up.


REFLECTION 

What do you discuss with your friends when you are together? Is it spiritual things or just carnal issues?

1 Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus

Daily let me go;

Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,

Oh, deeper yet, I pray,

And higher ev'ry day,

And wiser, blessed Lord,

In Thy precious, holy word.


2 Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

Take me deeper still,

Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,

And His perfect will. 


3 Deeper, deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,

Deeper let me go!

Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,

Let me fruitful grow.


4 Deeper, higher, ev'ry day in Jesus,

Till all conflict past,

Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image

Perfected at last.

THEME: HOW WILL HE MEET YOU?


MEMORISE: 

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 

Matthew 24:44 


READ: Matthew 24:44 -51

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.


45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?


46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.


47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.


48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;


49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;


50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,


51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


MESSAGE

For many students, they start preparing for exams only after the examine timetable has been pasted. Thank God that they know when the examination will hold. For us Christians, we do not know when our examination will hold. We do not know when the rapture will take place, or when we will be judged. When that examination comes, how will God meet you. Will He meet you prepared? Interestingly, this examination is not one that you can re-sit if you fail. Hebrews 9:27 says:


And it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment:


From verse 45 of our Bible reading for today, we see a category of people who God has sent to feed His children the meat of His word in due season. Are you preaching the true word of God to those you are sent to? If you are, when it is time for their examination, you will be called blessed and you will reign with Christ over all. However, if you are not teaching them His true word which has its foundation in salvation, sanctification, baptism in the Holy Ghost and the second coming of Christ, then the Bible calls such a fellow evil.


Don't decide to start quarreling with people, especially fellow ministers of God, simply because the examination appears to be delayed. Don't start insulting and criticising them publicly because you don't agree with their views, even though God has sent them to preach God's word to people, just like you. Don't start mingling with sinners and joining them in their sin; the One who sent you - the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will come at a time when you least expect Him.


Repent quickly because if He meets you not doing His work as you ought, the Bible says that you will be cut asunder and sent to the same place as unbelievers, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

When Jesus returns, how will He meet you doing His work?

THEME: PEACE LIKE A RIVER


MEMORISE: 

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. 

Psalms 29:11


READ: Isaiah 48:18 -22

18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:


19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.


20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.


21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.


22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.


MESSAGE

O that thou hads't hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river; and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 

Isaiah 48:18


From the above passage, we see a direct link  between obeying God's commandments and having peace like a river. When someone just receives Christ, the first thing they experience is peace. Somehow, they just suddenly feel at peace. That is what happens to children of God, because the One in us is the Prince of Peace Himself. The memory verse for today says that God will only give peace to His people. If you are not one of His people, there can be no peace for you. Those who disobey God have no peace (Isaiah 48:22).


The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Proverbs 28:1


Having all the money in the world would not bring you peace. You get peace by simply obeying the word of God. I am privileged to, have met many wealthy people, and when l say wealthy, l mean very wealthy. However, some of these people cannot sleep at night. There was an extremely wealthy man who said to me once that he could not sleep. He explained that whenever he closed his eyes to sleep, he would find himself amongst dead people. I may not be so wealthy, but once my head hits my pillow, l fell asleep.


The fellow, who stole yesterday cannot be at peace because he is hoping that police will not knock on his door the next minute. The one engaged in extra-marital affairs cannot be at peace because the moment he sees his wife picking up his phone, he may have a heart attack. The one who lied yesterday will be constantly thinking of other lies that will support the one already told.


Disobeying God's word takes away your peace.


Choose to be obedient to the Lord at all times and His peace shall flow like a river in your life.


KEY POINT

Nothing and no one can give you peace except the Prince of Peace Himself.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 12-13

HYMN 28: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 

1 When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 


Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 


2 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey.


3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 


4 Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 23RD, 2022.


THEME: THE WORD V


MEMORISE: 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 

Psalms 119:105 


READ: Psalms 119:103 -105

103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!


104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.


105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.


MESSAGE

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Isaiah 30:21


The word of God is the perfect guide that everyone needs in life. When we reach a point where we need to make a decision that will  significantly affect our lives, the word of God  gives us the leverage to make the best choices. Whenever you need to make a decision and you place your options beside the word of God, it will shed light on the dark areas, help you to see and understand those options more clearly and then guide you on which is best. Sometimes, the best decision is arrived at from multiple Scriptures which guide you in the process of decision making. Some of the passages that can help you are below:


He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Proverbs 18:13


This passage will help you check if you have all the information you need to make a correct decision. It can save you from making uninformed decisions. 


The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Proverbs 14:15


This Scripture above will help you get second opinion on information and be sure that both are correct. You can find out what experts or more experienced people in a particular field are saying about the decision you want to make. Proverbs 11:14 says:


Where no counsel is, the people fail; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.


Therefore; the word of God will point your attention to your integrity. Proverbs 22:1 says "A good name is rather to be chosen than riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold". Stay away from options that will negatively affect your integrity. The word of God is so rich that there is no aspect of human life that it does not address. Study to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15).


KEY POINT

If you are accustomed to living by the word of God, you will hardly make wrong decision.

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!

THEME: THE WORD IV


MEMORISE: 

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 

Psalm 107:20


READ: Psalms 107:17 -20

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.


18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.


19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.


20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.


MESSAGE

The word of God has tremendous power to heal sickness and diseases. When you need healing, study the word. Our memory verse today says that the word of God can be sent to heal and deliver from destruction.


When you send something to someone, you do it through a medium. One medium of sending the word of God is the Bible. Thus, in your Bible, God has already sent you the word that you need to be healed of any sickness or disease. When you study the testimonies of other people's healings and the promises of God concerning your health in the Bible, the power of God can jump from the Scriptures to your body and heal you.


The second medium through which God sends His word to heal is a man or woman of God. In 2 Kings 2:19-22, the Bible says that the waters were healed according to the word of Elisha. In 2 Kings 5:10, the moment Elisha told Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan, the power to heal leprosy went into the river.


For a long time, anytime we held The Holy Ghost Service in Nigeria, after preaching, l would lay hands on everybody for healing and all manner of miracles happened. One day, l stood laying hands on ten thousand people for over 5 hours. After that, l knew l couldn't do it alone, so l called some Pastors together and gave each of them ties  that l had worn at previous Holy Ghost Services. The anointing had rubbed off on the ties so when they wore them and joined me in laying hands, miracles happened. However, we grew so much that there was no way we could lay hands on everyone. The Lord said to me, "While you are preaching the word, the hearings can be taken place at the same time". That is how God started telling me, right in the middle of the sermon, as He was healing people. As soon as the Lord started to speak during the sermon, l would announced it to the people saying, "God said there is someone here, He has healed you of such and such".


While the word is going on through the man or woman of God, healing can be taking place. Now, l speak the word of God to you be healed in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT

When a man of God is preaching be sensitive to connect in the Spirit because the Lord could be sending a word to you during that sermon.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 8-9


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1 God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.


2 Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defence is sure.


3 Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God,

To endless years the same.


4 A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.


5  Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.


6 O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while life shall last,

And our eternal home.

DATE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST, 2022.


THEME: THE WORD III


MEMORISE: 

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

2 Timothy 4:2 


READ: Psalms 119:127 

127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.


128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.


129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.


130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.


MESSAGE

There is the tendency for Christians, especially ministers of God  to put the gift of the Spirit before the word of God in their lives. They want people to see the signs because they believe that it authenticate them in their eyes, after all John 4:48 says:


Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.


Such people, therefore, work the gifts more than they preach the word. Any ministry where this is done will not stand the test of time. Everything you do or say must be based on the word of God and you must project it to everyone you meet. God referred to the people he has sent to you to lead as sheep (John 21:15-17) and they can only be fed to grow with the word of God. 1 Peter 2:2 says:


As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:


In John 6:25-35, when the people were looking for Jesus because He had power to multiply food, He rebuked them, saying that they should have been looking for the Bread of life - the Word of God, instead. If a person forces a prophecy out when God is not speaking, just because people are expecting one, such a fellow will not last long in the Christian race.


Someone asked me to tell him his future. I asked if he was born again and he said "No". I then responded, "Your future will not be good because the word of God says that it shall be ill with the wicked" (Isaiah 3:11). He then asked, "What if l had said l was born again?" I said, "Then l would have told you that your future will be glorious because the word of God says, "Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him" (Isaiah 3:10). Everything must be based on the word of God.


It is the entrance of God's word, not the miracle or prophecies, that brings light to the souls that you are ministering to (Psalm 119:130). If you base your ministry on spiritual gifts rather than the word of God, it will not last. I have been in ministry for over 45 years now, I have seen many ministries rise and then fall, just because of this mistake.


ACTION POINT 

Live by the word of God.

Hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

Hear me, and from thy dwelling place

Pour down the riches of thy grace.

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!

To thee my heart and soul belong;

All that I have or am is thine,

And thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.
