DATE: SATURDAY MARCH 1ST 2025


TOPIC: PLEASE GOD


MEMORISE:

“When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” - (Proverbs 16:7)


READ: 1 KINGS 3:3-14 (KJV)


3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.


4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.


5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.


6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.


7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.


8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.


9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?


10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.


11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;


12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.


13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.


14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.


MESSAGE:

Anytime you please God, He will do something really amazing for you. In (2 Chronicles 1:6-15), Solomon pleased God. He wasn't pleasing men or trying to get their approval; he wanted to please the God of wonders. Today, people are still talking about Solomon because of the great things that God did in his life. God prospered him physically - throughout his life, there was no war because God silenced all his enemies (1 Kings 5:4). God also prospered him mentally and materially - his wisdom and riches were so great that God said that no other king will ever be like him. If you read (1 Kings 3:15-28), you will see an example of how God blessed Solomon.


When you please God in your sowing, He will give you multiple wonders so that long after you are gone, your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will still be reaping from the harvest. I pray that God will open the eyes of your understanding to know that harvest is a wonder; all you need to do is sow in such a manner that pleases God and leave the rest to Him. Very soon, the world will come to you and ask why you are so successful.


When a person's ways please the Lord, He summons forces on earth, in heaven, and underneath the earth to come to that fellow's aid. As we read in today's memory verse, even those who do not like the fellow will have no choice but to bless him or her.


When Isaac asked Esau to prepare him venison so that he could eat and bless him before his death, Jacob brought a delicious meal to him, and Isaac began to rain blessings on him because he enjoyed the food so much. Isaac was so pleased that he blessed Jacob with the dew of heaven, the fatness of the earth, plenty of corn and wine, and the gifts of men (Genesis 27:28-29). If an earthly father can bless his son who pleased him with such blessings, how much more our heavenly Father who owns all silver, gold, and the cattle upon a thousand hills (Haggai 2:8, Psalm 50:10)?


When your ways please God, and He blesses you, nobody can hinder your blessings. No human being, demon, witch, or wizard can oppose you when you please God. Abraham was too blessed to be cursed or hindered by any evil power. Beloved, please God in all your ways, and His blessing will rest upon you and your household, in Jesus' name. 


 ACTION POINT:

Use the word of God as a standard to check if your ways are pleasing Him. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  DEUTERONOMY 26-27


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMN: 30 - 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. 


HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU ALL. REMAIN BLESSED AND STAY CONNECTED!

TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING HARVESTS


MEMORISE:

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” - (Genesis 8:22)


READ: MARK 4:26-29 (KJV)


26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;


27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.


28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.


29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.


MESSAGE:

The first thing to understand about harvests is that they ultimately come from God. (1 Corinthians 3:6) says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Also, harvests come in different levels, which Jesus identified as thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold (Mark 4:20).


Some Bible scholars believe that a thirtyfold harvest results from giving to the household of faith (Galatians 6:9-10). When you help a fellow Christian, you are sowing into a soil that will bring forth at least thirtyfold. When Dorcas was sowing into the lives of the people in her church, she didn't know that she would reap a harvest of resurrection. Her seeds were so precious that they sent for Peter to raise her from the dead (Acts 9:36-42).


There are Bible scholars who also believe that you will reap a sixtyfold harvest when you sow to a minister of God (Matthew 10:41). When you do something for your pastor, and he or she says, "God bless you," your seed will return at least a sixtyfold harvest, just as we see in (1 Kings 17:10-16). The widow of Zarephath and her son had given up on life before she honoured Elijah with their last meal. She experienced a massive turnaround, and throughout the grievous famine, her jar of flour never ran out, and her jug of oil never became empty (1 Kings 17:16). Furthermore, apart from material blessings, when her son died, God brought him back to life (1 Kings 17:17-24).


Some Bible scholars also believe that giving to the high priest will yield a hundredfold harvest. Hebrews 5:1-4 tells us that the high priest is someone God has chosen to represent men before Him. The highest spiritual authority God has ordained over you is a representative of Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16), and if you give to such a fellow, you can rest assured that God will bless you a hundredfold and more in return.


Where and how you sow your seeds play a significant role in determining the level of harvests you can get from God. You should, however, ensure your sowing is done out of love to honour God and not just because you want a harvest from Him. God wants you to give cheerfully and sacrificially (2 Corinthians 9:7, Mark 12:41-44), and He judges the intent of your heart (1 Samuel 16:7). I pray that you will experience bountiful blessings as you honour Him with your giving, in Jesus' name. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, I receive a bountiful harvest of every good seed I have sown, in Jesus' name. 


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  DEUTERONOMY 23-25


HYMNAL: 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING 


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

Refrain:

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain. 


3 There shall be showers of blessing:

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come and now honor Thy Word. 


4 There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we're confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

TOPIC: THE GOOD GROUND


MEMORISE:

“And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.” - (Mark 4:8)


READ: MARK 4:20 (KJV)


20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.


MESSAGE:

Today, I will discuss what it means to sow on good ground. Mark 4:20 tells us that the seeds which fell on good ground brought forth a harvest. This implies that they did not fall by the wayside, they were watered by God, and they were not suffocated by thorns. For you to sow on good ground and reap bountiful harvests, you must do the following:


1. Honour God with your resources and obey all His principles for financial success.


Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10)


2. Cheerfully support God's work financially. Giving towards God's work can be by supporting a kingdom project, blessing a church, or sowing into the lives of God's servants.


Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)


3. Give to the poor and the needy. When you stretch out your hands to bless the less privileged, God blesses you in return.


Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. (Proverbs 19:17, ESV)


4. Be generous. Generosity attracts God's blessings; whatever you give to others, you will receive in multiple folds.


The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (Proverbs 11:25)


5. Wait for God's instructions before making financial decisions. When you seek His face before making decisions, He will guide you along the right path, but those who hastily make deals or investments without seeking God get their fingers burnt.


Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)


Beloved, if you have been sowing your seeds by the wayside, on stony ground, or among thorns, the good news is that if you change your ways and start living by the principles above, you will experience the harvest that comes from sowing on good ground. I pray that the Lord will restore all that you may have lost from sowing wrongly, and your seeds will produce great harvests from now, in Jesus' name. 


 REFLECTION:

Have you been sowing on good ground?

TOPIC: THE THORNY GROUND


MEMORISE:

“And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.” - (Mark 4:7)


READ: MARK 4:18-19 (KJV)


18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,


19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.


MESSAGE:

Today, I will continue my discussion on the different kinds of soils by examining thorny grounds. Thorns are dangerous, and they choke everything they come in contact with. When people lead lifestyles that drain them financially because they want to show off, they are sowing on thorny ground. For example, such people may rent apartments that their income can hardly sustain, buy expensive clothes and jewellery that they cannot afford and get into unnecessary debt just to sustain their fake lifestyles.


When you live an extravagant life, you are putting your money in thorny ground. An adage says, 'Cut your coat according to your cloth.' Beloved, you must learn to live within your means and not make lifestyle decisions based on resources you do not have - some people fall into this trap because of their circle of friends. The Scripture says that blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1). If you have friends who spend lavishly without counting the cost, you might follow suit and end up in debt.


Thorns can also refer to things that cause pockets to have holes. When the Israelites returned from exile in Babylon, they started building the temple, and at some point, they stopped and concentrated only on building their houses and empires. Haggai rebuked them for becoming self-centred and neglecting God's house, telling them that they will never be satisfied with the things they have because of their attitude (Haggai 1:4-6).


God will not release His wisdom for financial abundance to those who will consume the wealth He gives them on their lusts. If all you care about is yourself, you are filling your ground with thorns because selfishness chokes God's blessings upon a man's life. Many people pray and fast for financial breakthroughs; however, few receive financial wisdom for such breakthroughs because God cannot trust them not to waste the wealth He gives them on their lusts. Can God trust you to continue to put Him first after He has blessed you financially? Will you still care for His kingdom when you arrive at your desired financial destination?


Beloved, ask the Lord to remove any attitude that tends to choke His blessings in your life and promise Him that you will always put Him first so that He can pour His blessings on you. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, search my heart and take away every thorny attitude that will keep me from accessing your wisdom for financial abundance, in Jesus' name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH 2025


TOPIC: THE STONY GROUND


MEMORISE:

“And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.” - (Mark 4:5)


READ: MARK 4:16-17 (KJV)


16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;


17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.


MESSAGE:

In continuation of my discussion from yesterday about the different kinds of soils, I will examine stony grounds today. The major problem with a stony ground is that it does not retain water sufficiently for the seeds planted in it to grow. Water is needed for seeds to germinate, even though it is God who will determine the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-8).


In Amos 4:7-8, the Lord said that if He decides to withhold the rain, a city will soon go into famine and will start begging another city, where it has continued to rain, for food. When people invest in ventures that God is not involved in, they are planting seeds on stony grounds. When you consider such ventures carefully, you will realise that they are designed to attract and fool only greedy and desperate people. In my lifetime, I have seen many Ponzi schemes come and go, and I warn those close to me to desist from them. Some listen, but others do not, and they suffer when they lose their money.


God is and remains our Supplier; when we apply Biblical principles and work diligently with our hands, He will prosper us. Any investment that goes against Biblical principles, such as hard work, diligence, faithfulness, patience, and contentment, is a stony ground. Those who hasten to be rich will not be innocent, and such people will end up piercing themselves through with many sorrows.


A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. (Proverbs 28:20)


For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:10)


Beloved, you must guard your heart against greed and covetousness. You must be content with what you have while working diligently so that God can bless the works of your hands. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, allowed greed to rule him, and he ended up inheriting leprosy. While he could have inherited a double portion of Elisha's anointing, he subjected himself and his lineage to a lifetime of shame, seclusion, and frustration (2 Kings 5:20-27).


Beloved, greed, impatience, and not following God's instructions can lead you to sow on stony grounds. Sowing on stony grounds cannot produce good harvests; it will only lead to frustration. I pray that the Lord will show you the right places to sow, in Jesus' name. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, help me not to sow on stony grounds. Please guide my sowing and bless the work of my hands, in Jesus' name. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 12-15


HYMN: 10 - IN CHRIST ALONE 


1 In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand


2 In Christ alone! Who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live


3 There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ


4 No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 24TH 2025


TOPIC: THE WAYSIDE


MEMORISE:

“And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.” - (Mark 4:4)


READ: MARK 4:14-15 (KJV)


14 The sower soweth the word.


15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.


MESSAGE:

Yesterday, I explained that the quality of soil determines the level of harvest that a seed can yield. When a seed is planted in some soils, it will not even germinate. In today's memory verse, we see that some seeds that fell on the wrong kind of soil did not germinate because birds ate them.


Some scholars have suggested that the wayside refers to money spent on regular wild parties and other similar vices. When people throw parties, people will come, eat, drink, and say 'thank you'; however, that is where it all ends. Such people might say, "Others will invite me to their parties also." This is true, but we do not live by parties; we live by daily bread. If you want God's wisdom for financial prosperity, you must be prudent with your spending.


There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. (Proverbs 21:20)


Only fools spend everything they have at once. Some people spend all their earnings recklessly. For example, some unbelievers drink and buy alcohol for others. Such people are unwise because, like the prodigal son, they will eventually be abandoned by those they lavished their money on.


The wayside can also refer to actions that expose people's finances to satanic attacks. In the parable of the sower, the seeds that fell by the wayside were eaten by birds, and as Jesus explained in today's Bible reading, the birds represent satan. When Christians do not pay their tithes, they are robbing God and throwing their finances on the wayside for satan to devour. Paying your tithes makes the Lord rebuke the devourer for your sake (Malachi 3:8-11).


When believers, including ministers of God, steal God's money or take anything that doesn't belong to them without permission from the owners, they are exposing themselves to the devil's attacks. Someone once said to me, "I learned that your Festival of Life programme in the UK has become very big." I said, "Yes, sir." Then, he said, "How much is the church's income from the service?" When I told him that I didn't know, he didn't believe me. I told him that the UK pastors were in charge and that they know that the Bible is clear that anyone who acquires wealth wrongly would die suddenly (Jeremiah 17:11). Those who steal God's money are inviting satan to feast on their lives and finances. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please show me every way I might have been wasteful, and help me to make amends, in Jesus' name. Amen. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 9-11


HYMNAL: 31 - YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION 


1 Yield not to temptation,

For yielding is sin;

Each vict’ry will help you,

Some other to win;

Fight valiantly onward,

Evil passions subdue;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.

Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.


2 Shun evil companions,

Bad language disdain;

God’s name hold in rev’rence,

Nor take it in vain;

Be thoughtful and earnest,

Kindhearted and true;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through. 


3 To him that o’ercometh,

God giveth a crown;

Through faith we will conquer,

Though often cast down;

He who is our Savior,

Our strength will renew;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.

DATE: SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23RD 2025


THEME: FINANCIAL WISDOM

 

MEMORISE:

With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. 

Job 12:13


READ: Mark 4:1-9


1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.


2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,


3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:


4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.


5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:


6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.


7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.


8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.


9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.


MESSAGE:

Seeds have the potential to become harvests, but not all fulfil that potential. John 12:24 says that except a seed falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone. Everyseed remains alone if it is kept in a bag or on a shelf; it can be eaten as it is, but it won't be multiplied. Isaiah 55:10 says that God gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Beloved, you can choose to either be a sower or an eater. If you keep eating everything that comes to you, what then will you sow in order to have a greater harvest?


Wise people set apart good seeds to be sown into good soils, and they get great harvests. Money that is put aside for investment is a seed, while the place, person, or business that it is invested in is the soil. The better the soil, the better the harvest will be. You must learn to recognise good soils and water your seeds to ensure they yield the best harvest.


Over the next few days, I will discuss the different kinds of soils and the ones you should invest in or avoid. Today, however, I will explain some vital keys to financial wisdom.


Job 36:11 tells us a secret to accessing God's wisdom for financial prosperity: obey and serve Him. When you obey God, He will show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places (Isaiah 45:3). How obedient are you to God concerning your finances? Do you honour Him with all He has given you? Do you pay your tithes faithfully? Do you give to the needy and poor?


When you obey God, He will give you supernatural ideas that will make you thrive in the midst of famine, just as He gave Isaac. Isaac wanted to relocate when famine hit the land, but God told him to stay put, and he obeyed. His obedience gave him access to God's wisdom, and despite the famine, he reaped a hundredfold that same year (Genesis 26:1-12).


Job 36:11 also talks about service as a key to God's wisdom for financial prosperity. How you serve God matters. If you serve Him grudgingly or carelessly, He will not trust you with the wisdom to make wealth. Jesus told us not to cast our pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6-7); He won't cast His before swine too.


Beloved, serve God acceptably in reverence and godly fear (Hebrews 12:28), and He will bless you with financial wisdom, among other things.

 

KEY POINT:

Obeying and serving the Lord will give you access to His wisdom for financial prosperity.


BiBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 5-8

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 28: GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH

1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,

Pilgrim through this barren land.

I am weak, but Thou art mighty;

Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven!

Feed me now and evermore;

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven!

Feed me now and evermore. 


2 Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fiery, cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliverer! Strong Deliverer!

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

Strong Deliverer! Strong Deliverer!

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 


3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Bear me through the swelling torrent,

Land me safe on Canaan's side:

Songs of praises! Songs of praises!

I will ever give to Thee.

Songs of praises! Songs of praises!

I will ever give to Thee. 


4 Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,

Long to dwell with Thee above;

And to know in full communion,

All the sweetness of Thy love,

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!

Take Thy waiting people home 

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!

THEME:  JEHOVAH RAPHA


MEMORISE:  

And you shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.    

Exodus 23:25


READ:  John 9:1-7 

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.


2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.


4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.


5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.


6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


MESSAGE

Years ago, I suddenly discovered that I was having trouble with my hearing. I called one of my daughters, who is a doctor, and asked her to check my ears. When she checked them, she exclaimed, "Oh God!" She then said that both ears had growths inside, and she encouraged me to go to the hospital. I smiled and told her to give me seven days, after which I would allow her to do whatever needed to be done medically if the growths were still there. I knew that I have a Father who is the Doctor of doctors, so I spoke to Him after she left. I said, "Father, please give me new ears because I need to be able to hear people say 'amen' when I pray." When she returned on the seventh day to look into my ears, she exclaimed again, "Oh God!" But that time around, her exclamation was a positive one because Jehovah Rapha had healed me.


Do you know that it is possible to live without falling sick? Do you know that healing is your bread if you a child of God? However, for God to be the Lord that heals you, you must diligently hearken to His voice (Exodus 15:26). You must do whatever He tells you to do and obey Him promptly. When the ten lepers saw Jesus and cried out to Him for healing, He asked them to go and show themselves to the priests (Luke 17:11- 14). Doing that was risky because if they got to the priest without being healed, they might have been stoned to death. They took the risk to obey Jesus, and they were healed. Likewise, the man who was born blind received his healing when Jesus asked him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam (John 9:7). He chose to obey Jesus, and he returned with his sight.


Beloved, it is God's will for you to enjoy healing in all areas of your life. It is the Father's good pleasure for you to live in sound health, but you must hearken diligently to His voice. What has God asked you to stop eating or drinking? What has He asked you to start doing? Be prompt to obey Him, and you will enjoy healing and sound health in all areas, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT

The key to living in divine health is obeying God.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Deuteronomy 3-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 25: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS HERE

1. The Great Physician now is near,

The sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!


Refrain

Sweetest note in seraph song;

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung:

Jesus, blessed Jesus!


2. Your many sins are all forgiv’n,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,

 Redemption wrought by Jesus.


3. All glory to the dying Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

love the blessed Savior’s name,

I love the name of Jesus.


4. His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh, how my soul delights to hear

The precious name of Jesus!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE:  FRIDAY FEBRUARY 21ST 2025


THEME:  JEHOVAH TSIDKENU


MEMORISE:  

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 10:4


READ:  Romans 8:1-11 

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.


3.For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:


4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.


6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.


7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.


8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.


10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.


MESSAGE

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.   Jeremiah 23:6


Jehovah Tsidkenu means the Lord our righteousness' All our righteousness comes from God; He is the Source and Standard of righteousness. If you are not righteous before Him, then you are not righteous. The world is not our standard; the Lord is.


Once you become a child of God, He puts His Spirit within you, and He begins to work in you to fulfil His perfect will (Philippians 2:1 3). He begins to guide you and show you the right ways to do things.


Before I surrendered my life to Christ and became sanctified, my heart was so hard that l just didn't know what it meant to cry. For example, I happened to be the favorite son of my biological father because I was his last son, and I really did love him too, but when he died, I did not cry. However, when the Holy Spirit came into me, He made my heart tender. He taught me how my heart should be and the right way to respond to things. Now, when I see people crying, tears will often begin to well up in my eyes too. I am no longer hard-hearted because the Holy Spirit has shown me and is still showing me my heavenly Father's righteous, loving, and compassionate ways of doing things.


Knowing God as your righteousness will set you free from trying to please Him by your power. The Bible says that it is not by power, nor by might, but by the Spirit of the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Our Father is a good Father; He shows us His ways and gives us His Spirit to help us follow them perfectly. It is not by how many laws and commandments you can keep but by how yielded you are to the Holy Spirit.


Beloved, the Bible makes it clear that Christ has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). Since Christ has become our righteousness, we can no longer Live for ourselves.


When we put on the Lord Jesus Christ, who is Our righteousness, we receive the empowerment of His Spirit to stop making provisions for the flesh to Commit sin

(Romans 13:14).


KEY POINT

When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, He becomes your righteousness, and He gives you the Holy Spirit

to guide you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Deuteronomy 1-2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1. In Christ alone my hope is found 

He is my light, my strength, my song 

This cornerstone, this solid ground 

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 

What heights of love, what depths of peace 

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 

My comforter, my all in all 

Here in the love of Christ I stand  


2. In Christ alone who took on flesh 

Fullness of God in helpless babe 

This gift of love and righteousness 

Scorned by the ones He came to save 

Till on that cross as Jesus died 

The wrath of God was satisfied 

For every sin on Him was laid 

Here in the death of Christ I live  

There in the ground His body lay 


3. Light of the world by darkness slain 

Then bursting forth in glorious day 

Up from the grave He rose again 

And as He stands in victory 

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 

For I am His and He is mine 

Bought with the precious blood of Christ  


4. No guilt in life, no fear in death 

This is the power of Christ in me 

 life's first cry to final breath 

Jesus commands my destiny 

No power of hell, no scheme of man 

Can ever pluck me from His hand 

Till He returns or calls me home 

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE:  THURSDAY FEBRUARY 20TH 2025

THEME:  JEHOVAH SHALOM

MEMORISE:  
Peace, I leave with you, my peace l give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.   
John 14:27

READ: Mark 4:35-41  
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

MESSAGE
I once had an extremely wealthy friend who lived in Australia. By the time he was about to die, he had billions of dollars in his bank account. When the Lord sent me to preach to him, he told me that every time he closed his eyes to sleep, he would find himself among dead people. Thus, he was always afraid to sleep. Despite his great wealth, he had no peace. Anyone who hasn't given his or her life to Jesus cannot experience His peace.

When people surrender their lives to Jesus Christ, they feel a great peace within them. This is a common experience to everyone in Christ. When you surrender to God, you will realize that you have been carrying a heavy load in your heart for so long. Jehovah Shalom lifts that load off you and gives you peace. Jesus described this in Matthew 11:28:

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

What has been troubling you? Just surrender it to Jehovah Shalom, and you will experience peace like a river. God wants to give you peace from all your struggles, but you must hand your burdens over to Him; you cannot carry them alone. No matter what is happening around you, if you have Jehovah Shalom, you will not be shaken. God's peace is in degrees. The more you know Him, the greater your peace becomes.

Psalm 119:165 says, "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." This is a promise; as you follow God, you will enjoy great peace.

In Isaiah 54:13, the Almighty God says that He will teach your children, and they will enjoy great peace. When God spoke about Abraham in Genesis 18:19, He said, "| know Abraham, for he will command his children and household to keep my way." No wonder Isaac had great peace. In Genesis 22:1-18, when his father bound him to lay him on the altar to be sacrificed, he remained calm. He had great peace because he had been brought up in the way of the Lord.

Beloved, Jehovah Shalom wants to multiply His peace in your life and in the lives of your descendants, but for Him to do so, you must love His laws and ways.

KEY POINT
The more you love God's laws and ways, the greater your peace will be.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:   Numbers 33-36

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 29: WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH
1. When peace like a river attended my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

Refrain:
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

2. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh, my soul

3. And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH 2025


TOPIC: JEHOVAH NISSI


MEMORISE:

“The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” - (Exodus 14:14)


READ: EXODUS 14:21-31 (KJV)


21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.


22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.


23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.


24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,


25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.


26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.


27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.


28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.


29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.


30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.


31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.


MESSAGE:

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: (Exodus 17:15)


God fights for His children whenever they are being threatened. In Revelation 12, when satan started a riot in heaven, God didn't move a finger; He just let Michael, the archangel, deal with the situation. However, when it comes to His children, He rises in defence of them.


The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. (Deuteronomy 28:7)


The above Scripture says that God will scatter the enemies that come against you in seven different directions. Whenever God's children are threatened by the enemy, He rises up to defend them.


Years ago, a military ruler in Nigeria wanted to convert into a civilian president. He consulted some occultic people, and they said that there was a man in the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City) whose prayers would not let that happen. The military ruler then instructed soldiers to come and arrest me. In those days, whenever they arrested anyone, that fellow was not likely to return alive. Fortunately for me, I got to know of the plan, and to be honest, I was afraid. I went out to pray that night, and after praising God for a few minutes, I said, "Lord, about this matter," and God said, "Don't worry about that; I have settled it. On Friday, during the Holy Ghost Service, tell everyone to wish each other a happy new year." Even though we were in June, I did as God instructed, and by Monday, the whole country heard the news that the powerful military ruler had died. God rose to fight for me, and I didn't need to lift a finger. I decree in the name of Jesus, anyone plotting your downfall will fail and fall. No plan of the enemy will prosper against you, in Jesus' name.


Beloved, no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). This is because the Lord is Your banner; He is Jehovah Nissi. When people gather against you, do not fret. Rather, rest in the Lord, who is your mighty protector, defender, and refuge. Just as He fought for the Israelites and defeated the Amalekites in Exodus 17, He will fight for you. He will save your children from the hands of the enemy and preserve all that concerns you. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, I thank You for being my banner and fighting my battles for me. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: NUMBERS 30-32


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMN: 19 - ROCK OF AGES TO CLEFT FOR ME 


1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee;

let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

save from wrath and make me pure.


2 Not the labors of my hands

can fulfill thy law's demands;

could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all for sin could not atone;

thou must save, and thou alone.


3 Nothing in my hand I bring,

simply to the 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
