Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 


DATE:  TUESDAY JANUARY 24TH 2023


THEME:  FLAMES OF FIRE IV


MEMORISE: Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17 


READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9 -12


9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.


10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.


11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?


12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.


MESSAGE


Fire is very generous. If you ha e one hundred candles to light, all you have to do,is light one of them and that one candle can be used to light the remaining 99. Fire lights up other materials that have the potential to carry it. 


Fire is always looking out for good materials that are flammable. In Deuteronomy 34:9, when Moses saw that Joshua was a good material, he imparted the spirit of wisdom into him. When Elijah saw that Elisha was a good material, he gave him double portion of his power. Who are the good materials that you have noticed around you - people with potential to do exploits for God, if only they could be mentored correctly? Get close to them and heat them up for God. You don't know how far that good material around will burn for God if only you can bring him or her close enough to get some heat from you.


I don't understand how some men of God try to quench the fire of others. Fire does not compete with itself. When fire meets fire, it join forces to impact the environment even more. Is there someone else who carries fire around you? Put denomination aside and join forces to advance the Kingdom of God. Individually there are some obstacles that your fire may be too small to overcome, but when you come  together, you can bring down very high mountains. When one fire seems to go down, the moment it comes in contact with another, the new one rekindles it and makes it burn more. It mazes me that sometimes when children of God see another child of God going cold, they would rejoice and say they are 'minding their business' rather than getting closer to the person and helping to rekindle his or her fire so,that the person can burn even more for God.


Fire burns better when it is in contact with other fires. You and other fires around you will burn better if you come together from time to time to rekindle one another. This is why you find pastors coming together to form associations, so,that everyone can ensure that nobody's fire goes down. Believe me honestly, you will burn better if you don't look away when you, notice that the fire of someone else is going down.


KEY POINT 


Fire is generous and burns better when in contact with other fires.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 278-30


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 


HYMN 12: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS


1. Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See his banners go!


[Chorus]

Onward, Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.


2. At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory.

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.


3. Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the Saints have trod.

We are not divided;

All one body we:

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.


4. Onward, then, ye people;

Join our happy throng.

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honor

Unto Christ, the King.

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

THEME: FLAMES OF FIRE III


MEMORISE: 

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 

Matthew 5:15


READ: Mark 16:15 -20

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


MESSAGE

Fire cannot be ignored; it always affects its environment. Wherever fire is, everyone around there feels it's heat and whatever comes in contact with it would either be consumed or become fire too. If there is little fire somewhere and you throw some sheets of paper at it, they will catch fire themselves. I am charging all believers today. It is okay when you have just come into a school to say, "Oh, we are surrounded by sinners" but after three months, it would be a shame if they are all still sinners. How can you be in an office for three years with everybody there remaining the same? Fire compels everything around it to become like it. If you have not been preaching the gospel to the people around you, where is your heat? Why have you gone so cold?


In 1 Kings 18:36-39, when Elijah demonstrated that he is fire, the whole nation fell on their faces and said, "Your God is God". In Acts 16:25-34, when Paul and Silas were thrown into jail, by the time Paul and Silas had demonstrated that they are fire, the jailer humbled himself and said, "Tell me what l must do to be saved". I pray you will receive the ability to demonstrate the power of God in your environment now in Jesus' name. Shining your light would, however, require personal sacrifices. You must spend time praying and dwelling in the presence of God. You would need to fast and study your Bible regularly.


Don't shy away from opportunity to show that you are fire. When a classmate tells you they are not feeling fine, don't suggest medication, lay hands on them and pray for their healing. By the time the fellow gets healed, he or she would spread the news to others and before you know it, you would have won your faculty over to the Lord. Is there any of your colleagues who is looking up to God for the fruit of the womb? See it as an opportunity to preach Christ to your entire office. Pray for the fellow and assure them that they will carry their babies in nine months. When God does the miracle, everyone will know that your God is real and they will bow to Him.


ACTION POINT 

Ensure that everyone who come in contact with you hears the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

THEME: FLAMES OF FIRE II


MEMORISE: 

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

Romans 12:2 


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

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.

Exodus 23:2


Fire does not follow trends, it remains the same all the time. Fire is fire. It is not frozen today, liquid tomorrow and cap out the next day; fire is always fire and remains in one state. It does not copy anything or anyone else - it remains in its own state.


I remember when the custom amongst men of God in Nigeria was to wear a flowing robe - Agbada. It was there way of proclaiming, "We have arrived". I don't have anything against the Agbadas. It is the traditional attire in many Nigerian cultures and l do wear it now and again. However, l refused to follow the trend of wearing it all the time. One man of God said to me then, "l like you, but l don't like the way you dress like a hunter" - apparently referring to the conservative French suits l often wear, l told him l was not a hunter, but rather, a soldier of Christ. Fire does not blend in with its environment, rather, it affects it.


You must stand apart. You cannot afford to do something simply because others are doing it. Fire does not yield to peer pressure. Proverbs 1:10 says when sinners entice you, don't consent. It doesn't matter how enticing the new trend is, if it is not in line with the word of God, reject it. In 1 Kings 18:22, Baal was worshipped across the land of Israel but Elijah set himself apart. He did not blend with the others around him because He was fire. It doesn't matter if everyone is doing what is against God's will, because you are fire, you cannot join them. 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 urges us to come out from amongst unbelievers.


Matthew 5:16 says that we should let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our father in Heaven. How will they see the works of God in you when you are always trying to blend with people who are doing the works of the devil?


REFLECTION

Check yourself: have you been following worldly trends.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 21-23


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY JANUARY 21ST, 2023.


THEME: FLAMES OF FIRE


MEMORISE: 

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 

Hebrews 1:7 


READ: Luke 6:43 -45

43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.


44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.


45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.


MESSAGE

The teaching series of flames of fire' is meant for everyone; however, l'll encourage youths to pay extra attention.


There are four basic elements in the world - water, earth, air and fire, each of which is very important to human existence. As important as all these elements are however, it is interesting that God chose to make His ministers flames of fire.


Let us discuss some characteristics of fire. The first thing about fire is that it is distinct. When you see fire, you recognize it immediately. In 2 Kings 1:8, the king was sick and sent his servants to enquire from some idol worshippers whether he would recover or not, only for them to meet a man on the way who sent them back to the king with a message that he would die. Once the messengers described the man, the king said, "That is Elijah". Fire is uniquely distinct and you cannot mistake it for anything else.


People should be able to see a child of God and say, "This is a child of God". These days, many people say, "Oh, it's not about the outward appearance, God is only interested in what is on the inside". One day while teaching at the Bible College, l brought two oranges - one green and one yellow, and asked the students to identify the ripe one. They all pointed to the yellow one, explaining that, from the way it look, it was clear that it was  the ripe one.


Fire has a distinct look, when you see it, you would know it. Don't believe the lie that God is not interested in your outward appearance - He is. While it is true that He cannot be deceived by your outward appearance as He said in 1 Samuel 16:7, His word says that what you are on the inside will show on the outside. Matthew 23:26 says:


Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.


You cannot claim, as a minister, that you are a flame of fire when you don't look it. You cannot claim you are a child of God, yet dress and look like people of the world. If you need to tell people that you are a child of God before they believe it, you are not yet a flame of fire.


KEY POINT

If you need to tell people that you are a child of God before they see you as one, you are not yet a flame of fire.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 17-20


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 20: STAND UP,STAND UP FOR JESUS


1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

his army he shall lead

till ev'ry foe is vanquished

and Christ is Lord indeed.


2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger

and strength to strength oppose.


3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with prayer;

where duty calls or danger,

be never wanting there.


4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.

DATE: FRIDAY JANUARY 20TH, 2023.


THEME: SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE


MEMORISE: 

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 

2 Corinthians 2:20 


READ: 2 Timothy 2:19 -21

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.


20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.


21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.


MESSAGE

Following our discussion which started yesterday, the second question that you should ask yourself is "What kind of example am l going to be for those coming behind me?" You see God can raise somebody and promote him or her greatly, but when the fellow makes a mistake and crashes, he or she becomes an example for others to learn from, so as not to make the same mistake. If you read 1 Corinthians 10:11 carefully, you would see that verses 1-4 were dedicated to describing the investments that God had made in the people of Israel, then the rest of the passage goes on to list how many of them became examples for those of us coming after. God is making investments in you now. He is making sure that you read and hear certain messages, He is promoting you and doing miracles for you now; what will be the outcome of all these? Will you be used as a good example later in future or a bad one?


But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

1 Corinthians 10:5


The verse above says God was not pleased with many of them. The truth is that not many people will end up as good examples; most will end up as bad ones because only a few will be violent enough to take the Kingdom of God by force (Matthew 11:12). The devil will throw a lot of temptations your way. Some of them will come as harmless suggestions, but you have to be fully ready to submit to the Lord and resist the devil so that he would flee (James 4:7).


As we see in our Bible reading of today, purge yourself of all unrighteousness so you can set the right examples for those coming behind you. Ask the Holy Spirit for help. You must never get to the point where you feel you have enough of the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit can keep you from falling; embrace Him like your life depends on it, because it actually does.


PRAYER POINT

Father, don't let me end up as a bad example to those coming after me.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 28: WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN 


1 What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


Refrain:

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


2 For my cleansing this I see—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

For my pardon this my plea—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!


3 Nothing can my sin erase

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Naught of works, ’tis all of grace—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!


4 This is all my hope and peace—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

This is all my righteousness—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

THEME: LEARN FROM OTHERS


MEMORISE: 

It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. 

1 Samuel 15:11 


READ: 1 Corinthians 10:1 -11

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;


2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;


3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;


4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.


5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.


6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.


7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.


8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.


9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.


10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.


MESSAGE

It repenteth me that l have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

1 Samuel 15:11


The first time I read the passage above, it was shocking to me that God would repent. I had read messages in the Bible like Ezekiel 33:14-16 where God said if He says to the wicked that he will die, but the wicked changes his ways, then He wouldn't let him die anymore. However; what is mind-boggling about Saul's case is that this is a different kind of repentance. Of a truth, Saul was a very humble, diligent and responsible young man before he became king. In 1 Samuel 9:3-4, his father sent him on an errand to search for some missing animals. Saul kept searching and was determined not to return home until he found them. God is Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8), He knows the end from the beginning (Acts 15:18), how can somebody like that repent of the decision He had made? One day, the Lord used the scripture below to provide an answer to my question.


Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1 Corinthians 10:11


All the stories we read in the Bible, even some of the things happening around us today, are supposed to be lessons to us. One could therefore say that He looks for scapegoats the to use to teach others lesson. Now, there are two questions you should ask yourself from this revelation: first, are you really learning lessons from the examples that God has given you in the Bible and around you? Have you learnt from Judas lscariot's case that greed can destroy a person both here and in eternity? Have you learned from Samson that sexual sins will reduce a strong man to a piece of bread (Proverbs 6:26)? Have you learn from the examples around you?


REFLECTION 

Are you currently indulging in sin? What can you learn from the Bible about the repercussions of that sin.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 11-13


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 6: I AM SO GLAD THAT OUR FATHER IN HEAV'N


1 I am so glad that our Father in heav’n

Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see:

This is the dearest, that

Jesus loves me.


Refrain:

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.


2 Though I forget Him and wander away,

Still He doth love me whenever I stray;

Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,

When I remember that Jesus loves me.


3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be:

“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

DATE: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 18TH, 2023.


THEME: SACRIFICES CAN AVERT DISASTERS 


MEMORISE: 

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. 

2 Samuel 24:25 


READ: 1 Kings 17:8 -16

8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,


9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.


10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.


11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.


12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.


13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.


14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.


15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.


16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.


MESSAGE

In our Bible text for today, we read about a widow of Zarephath who had only one meal left. She and her son were going to eat and die. She sacrificed that one meal and she and her son lived on. In Psalm 50:14 - 15 the Bible says if you offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and pay your vows, God will deliver you in the day of trouble. In  2 Samuel 24: 11-25, seventy thousand men had died from a pestilence that arose in lsrael due to David conducting a census that displeased God. This was a big disaster and something had to be done immediately to stop it. They had prayed and, although God had stopped the angel that was spreading the plague, He did not recall him, the angel remained at the threshing place of Araunah the Jebusite. This still mean trouble, so David's seer - Gad decided that they should apply a principle to avert the disaster.


And Gad came that day to David, and said unto Him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebisite.

2 Samuel 24:16


When David wanted to make the sacrifice, Araunah tried to give everything needed to him for free, but he refused. He insisted that he had to bear the cost. He gave the sacrifice and the disaster was immediately averted. 


And David built an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was untreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from lsrael.

2 Samuel 24:25


The funny thing is that many non-Christians know this principle: that, in the face of impending doom or disaster, a really big sacrificial offering can avert it (2 Kings 3:26-27). We as children of the living God should follow David's example and be ready to give a sacrificial offering, especially in trouble times.


May God help us - the true children of God to apply this principle in order to avert looming disasters in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT

Father, when a disaster seems to be looming around me, teach me what to do and give me the grace to do it.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME


1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save me from its guilt and power.


2 Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All could never sin erase,

Thou must save, and save by grace.


3 Nothing in my hands I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress,

Helpless, look to Thee for grace:

Foul, I to the fountain fly,

Wash me, Savior, or I die.


4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

DATE: TUESDAY  JANUARY 17TH, 2023.


THEME: THE LIVING SACRIFICE


MEMORISE: 

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Romans 12:1


READ: Matthew 16:24 -27

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.


26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.


MESSAGE

The sacrifice that pleases God most is your life. You become a living sacrifice the day you surrender your life to Jesus. From the day you genuinely surrender your life to Him, He can send you wherever He wants, set the direction of your life and use you to fulfil His plans. God knows, l never wanted to be a Pastor, talk less of a General Overseer, but l am a living sacrifice. I had wanted to retire at the age of seventy, so that l could then begin to live a normal life - sleep when others sleep, eat when others eat and so on, but God said "No". Since l am a living sacrifice, my response was "Yes, Daddy".


God expects your entire life to be a sacrifice to Him. You are to go wherever He sends you. When He says witness - you witness, sit-you sit, pray- you pray.


The moment God knows that He has you as a living sacrifice, whatever offering you give becomes acceptable because it would be given under His guidance. Some of us, even before coming to Church, have made up our minds on the offering to give. For the fellow who is a living sacrifice, God will tell them what to give.


When l became a General Overseer, things were hard. We could hardly pay the staff on the church's payroll and many a time, there would be nothing left to pay the General Overseer. Having left paid employment for full-time ministry after working for government for several years, l received my gratuity, with plans to save some, invest some in shares and so on. However, since l am a living sacrifice, l asked God, "What do l do with this money?" He responded that l should divide it into three parts and give each to a different ministry while retaining nothing for myself. As painful as this was, l was comforted when He said further, "l will be your source". When you become a living sacrifice, God will become your source. The day you become a living sacrifice, you became His property, so He will take care of you. Things may be hard at first, but He will make sure that your tomorrow will be alright (Colossians 1:27).


REFLECTION

Are you a living sacrifice for God? Can HE decide to do whatever HE pleases with you and all you have.

HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.

DATE: MONDAY JANUARY 16TH, 2023.


THEME: RAISING AN ALTAR UNTO GOD


MEMORISE: 

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. 

Leviticus 6:13


READ: Genesis 28:11 -19

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.


12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.


13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;


14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.


15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.


16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.


17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.


18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.


19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.


MESSAGE

Abraham was a man who raised many altars for God (Genesis 13:4, Genesis 13:18, Genesis 22:9). Little wonder why he had transgenerational blessings. An altar is a meeting place between God and man. In our Bible reading for today, we see how, even when Jacob was unaware that he was at an altar, he saw in a dream that the place was a meeting point between heaven and earth. For example, an altar can be a corner of your room, if you are living in a one-room apartment. You could set aside a corner in your room with a commitment to meet with God  there regularly. You must treat the place as holy; because that is the altar of the Almighty God. The moment you set aside that place as an altar to God, any time you go there, God would be waiting.


When man goes to an altar, he does so to offer sacrifices to God and to worship Him. In Genesis 22:1-14 when God asked Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. He asked him to go to a particular place, raise an altar there and present a sacrifice. When visiting a great man, because of how much  you honour him, you don't go empty-handed, so why do so when going to meet with the Most High God? Don't go to God empty handed. If you don't have anything at all, He will accept a sacrifice of praise (Jeremiah 17:26).


When God comes to meet man on the altar, He comes to bless. (Psalm 67:5-7) tells us that when praises go up blessings come down. In Genesis 22:15-18, when Abraham brought Isaac to the altar to be offered, God stopped him and said, "You have done your part, let me do mine, in blessing l will bless You, in multiplying, l will multiply your seed". God meets with His children during services to bless them, especially those who come with a sacrifice. I raised an altar in a small room inside the first house l lived in the Redemption Camp well over 29 years ago. The house is now called the 'Open Heavens International Centre'. Since the place was marked out as an altar, up to today, people who go there to pray in faith receive mighty miracles from God that even l find amazing.


ACTION POINT

Identify a specific part of your house or environment that you will mark out as your altar and ensure you meet God there regularly.

THEME: YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM


MEMORISE: 

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 

John 15:5


READ: Luke 19:29 -38

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,


30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.


31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.


32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.


33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?


34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.


35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.


36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.


37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;


38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.


MESSAGE

I heard someone preaching recently and he said if God leaves him, there will be little left. I don't know how come in his case, there would still be anything left. As for me, l am fully aware that without God, l am nothing, absolutely nothing and l tell Him that regularly.


I preached a sermon at the commissioning into ministry of one of my sons about 40 years ago, l told them about the ass that Jesus rode in our Bible reading for today. The ass must have suddenly looked around and seen people laying down their clothes on the ground for him to walk on, with a lot of singing and dancing going on as he passed by. He must have really felt special. However, the moment Jesus got down and left him, he was abandoned. By then he must have been far from home and probably did not even know his way back. He must have passed by humans and instead of rejoicing like before, they most likely chased it away. At best, he would have ended up as a laborer on a farm. Beloved, the moment God leaves you, you are finished. You think you're smart? Just a little tweak of a professor's brain and he can become a mad man roaming the streets.


When people see me living holy, being humble, obeying God to the letter, it is because l don't want Him to leave me. I don't want to look around and discover that He is no longer with me. I don't want to pray and have Him ignore my prayers. I am imploring you my beloved, don't do anything that would make God leave you.


At some point on the cross, Jesus cried, "Father, why hast thou forsaken me" (Matthew 27:46). Think about it: when the whole world turned against Him, He did not mind, but when the Father turned from Him, He cried. Even if the whole world turns against you, you are fine as long as God is still on your side. Without God, you are nothing.


KEY POINT

Don't ever do anything that could make God leave you. Stay far away from sin.

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

THEME: ONLY BY GRACE


MEMORISE: 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 

John 15:16 


READ: Romans 9:15 -26

15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.


16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.


17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.


18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.


19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?


20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?


21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?


22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:


23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,


24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?


25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.


26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.


MESSAGE

Some people think that God is doing great things for them because they deserve it. They think because of all that they do for God, then it is only expected that he would bless them as He does. Believe me honestly, everything that God does, He does for His name's sake - not for you, but that His name will be glorified (Psalm 106:7-8).


Don't become arrogant, God could use anyone else. There are people who pray, study the Bible and are even more talented than you, but God chose you; you should be grateful for that. In any case, if we were to count iniquity, who will stand? (Psalm 130:3). When people see the things God is doing in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, they think l must be special. The only thing special about me is that God chose me, because even from as far back as when l was a little child, God had promised my Father-in-the Lord that The Redeemed Christian Church of God would go round the world. It had nothing to do with me at all; God just decided to glorify Himself through this Church and it is only by grace that He chose me to be the General Overseer. He could have chosen anyone else. There are people far more qualified than l, but it is by grace that l was chosen.


When you see people still drowning in sin, don't judge them because you are on your way to heaven; rather pray that God will save them by His grace. It is by His grace that you are not on the way to hell. Never forget that it is He who is working something out for His name's sake. You are only graced to be a recipient of God's blessings. The people of Israel may have thought that God parted the Red Sea and drowned Pharaoh and his army because they were special. He did it for His name's sake. They were only graced to be the ones He did it for. Romans 9:17 testifies to this:


For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have l raised thee up, that l might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.


PRAYER POINT

Father, thank You for Your grace over my life. Please, don't let me ever stop enjoying help from Your throne of grace.

HYMN 2: AMAZING GRACE


1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch; like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.


2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!
