OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 7TH, 2023.

THEME: LIGHT UP II

MEMORISE: 

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 

Job 36:11

READ: Isaiah 40:28 -31

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

MESSAGE

When white light is passed through a prism, one of the colors you would see is yellow. Yellow is the colour of the sun and one of the names of Jesus Christ is the Sun of righteousness (Malachi 4:2). The yellow that is embedded in the light of God in you brings healing with it.

Yellow, being the colour of the sun, also means that it is the colour of unlimited energy. When you carry this light of God within you, you enjoy the kind of energy that people can't understand. This is because Isaiah 40:31 says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. When l was about to turn 70, l asked God if l could retire and "He said, 'No'. Then l thought l would rest for the whole year instead. What l discovered is that my 70th year was busier than every year before it and, by the grace of God, l am still standing. No matter how old you are, your energy will never run out, in Jesus' name.

Yellow is the colour of pure gold and that is why, if you are connected with the light of God, you just must prosper. Furthermore, Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Psalm 23:5 shows us that our God is a God of abundance. Believe me honestly, all you need is single breakthrough and you will cross the border of poverty forever (Malachi 3:10).

There was once an Arab boy who got born again in an Islamic country and escape to England to avoid persecution. He got to London and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Life was very difficult for him but he held on to his faith. One day, he overhead a rich Arabian man grumbling to himself in Arabic. He asked the man what was wrong. The rich Arabian, who had come to London to buy houses had become frustrated about his failure due to his inability to speak English. The man, excited that he had found someone who understood both Arabic and English, asked the boy to be his interpreter and paid him one million pounds per day for three days.

Once you carry the light of God within you, you become a candidate for divine prosperity.

KEY POINT

Carrying God's light in you means carrying divine prosperity in you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 9-17

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;

to his feet your tribute bring.

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,

evermore his praises sing.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Praise the everlasting King!

2 Praise him for his grace and favor

to his people in distress.

Praise him, still the same as ever,

slow to chide, and swift to bless.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Glorious in his faithfulness!

3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;

well our feeble frame he knows.

In his hand he gently bears us,

rescues us from all our foes.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Widely yet his mercy flows!
