Happy New Month!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY 1ST JULY 2020.

THEME: WATCH YOUR WORDS AT ALL TIME I.


MEMORISE:

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19


READ: James 1:26

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.


MESSAGE 


Nuclear weapons are o be handled with the utmost care. Your tongue is the most potent weapon in your body; it is your nuclear weapon. The Bible, in James 3:5 says:
“ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!”

When the devil wants to find out a person’s secret in order to bring him down, he begins to ask questions so that the fellow can share his secret with him. The devil needed to know Samson’s secret in order to bring him down, so he sent Delilah to ask him questions. Up until Samson’s tongue gave him away, all the devil’s efforts were futile.

Do you know that your tongue can either deliver you from your enemies or cause you to be entrapped by them?

Many times, in a bid to boast, we let out our secret to the enemy. Not every testimony should be shared in public, especially when it is not yet complete. You also have a digital tongue – what you say online. The enemies are taking note of what they can use against you, even on the internet. Many people have lost great opportunities because of what they said on the internet many years past. Some people are so loose with their digital tongue that kidnappers can even track them via their social media pages. Be careful what information you divulge to your enemies.

“Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.” Proverbs 21:23

Watch your utterance when you are angry. You can’t take back your words even after the anger abated. When you are happy also, be careful what promises you make, what testimonies you share – bridle your tongue (Psalm 32:9). Ask God for wisdom to know what to say and what not to say at all times and He will grant you your request (James 1:5).


KEY POINT:

Proverbs 29:11 says “A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.”


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 1-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 12: I AM THINE O LORD.

1. I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: TUESDAY 30TH JUNE, 2020.

THEME: NO RELATIONSHIP.

MEMORIZE

And have no relationship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Ephesians 5:11

BIBLE READING:
2nd Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)

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:

Many people, especially the youth, have fallen into temptations that initially appeared like opportunities. These temptations often come in the form of employment opportunities with very attractive salary packages, juicy offers for marriage, wonderful business opportunities, or an open invitation to travel abroad and so on.
Many of these irresistible offers camouflage terrible vices like prostitution, drug trafficking, gang-sterism, forgery, cultism, impersonation, and the like. God is calling out to you today: Ignore the devil’s offer and have no relationship with satanic agents.
Christians must know that the devil’s offer is nothing but well-packaged temptation. Beware of entering into any relationship with satanic agents and be extra careful with their seemingly attractive but sinful propositions.
Temptation is the pressure to yield to influences that can lead one away from God and into sin. However, falling for the devil’s trick to disobey God usually has devastating repercussions as evidenced by the fall of humanity in Genesis 3:1-7. There are other examples of temptation in the Bible but the mother of them all is that of Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11.

To avoid having any relationship with sin and the devil, Matthew 26:41 says “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation…” Watchfulness begins with the admonition of Proverbs 4:23 to “Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.” This is what Romans 12:2 referred to as “…the renewing of your mind.” Which is best done by filling your heart with the undiluted word of God.
The next level of watchfulness is found in James 1:26 that cautions us to keep the mouth bridled in order not to sin with our tongue.
Finally, 1st Peter 4:7 says:
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayers.”

PRAYER POINT:
Father, expose every move of the devil against me, in the mighty name of Jesus.

AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
Obadiah 1,
Psalms 82-83

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY 29TH JUNE 2020.

THEME: EQUIPPED FOR SERVICE.



MEMORISE:

 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

2 Timothy 2:15


READ: 1 Peter 5:1-4


1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.



MESSAGE 


The choice of vessel to use for any purpose typically depends on the owner’s preference, as well as the suitability of each to the assignment at hand. So also, the person whom God would use for any assignment must meet God’s basic requirements. After God locates such a person, He then equip him/her for the divine assignment.

Many Christians are not fulfilling their purpose in life and ministry because they have consistently refused the required training for their assignment, and because they are not found to be suitable yet, their commissioning remains pending. May the Lord wake you up to the reality of your situation today, so you can take your rightful in the Kingdom of God in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

God’s preparation through the cross transforms a person’s mind, heart, will and life such that he/she becomes aligned with God’s purpose.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:8

People with broken spirits, dysfunctional families, health challenges, the poor, the demon-possessed, and the disenfranchised can all find peace and prosperity with God. This is the whole essence of Christianity and all it requires is our total submission to the preparation process. 2 Timothy 2:21 says “ 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.”

The Lord will only use the best- vessels purged (repentance and confession), as well as purified and sanctified.

God is seeking such a vessel; are you one?


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please purge, cleanse, and purify me for Your special service, in the mighty name of Jesus.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicle 19-23.


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 29: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2.  Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.


3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
