Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY 2ND JANUARY 2021


THEME: JUST GIVE THANKS



MEMORISE:

1 Thessalonians  5:18

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.



READ: Romans  8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.



MESSAGE


"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

Psalm 100:4 


The above passage says that when you are coming to God, you are to come with thanksgiving - not with grumbling and complaining, but with thanksgiving. This means that if you don't come with thanksgiving, then He can decide not to open His gates for you. Many people's prayers do not get answered because all they do is complain and murmur to God. You are complaining that you hase no car when someone else has a car but cannot rise from his sick bed. You are complaining that you have no shoes when someone else has no legs. Just give thanks. No matter what you are going through, there are millions of people around the world going through worse situations. Make a habit of always thanking God fot what you have.


There are some little things we often take for granted. One day, my wife called to check on a sick person we had been praying for. After the phone call, she told me the fellow said “Help me thank God that l was able to wear my clothes by myself today”. Even I the General Overseer had never thought of thanking God for the ability to dress up by myself. Don’t put your attention on the things that you don’t have, rather, put it on all the great things that God is already doing for you. 


God enjoys being with people who are full of thanks and praises of His name, but He detests murmurers. ln 1 Corinthians 10:10, the Bible says that when the Israelites murmured, they were destroyed: 


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


Joseph for instance, never murmured against God, even while in slavery and in prison. Thus, he fulfilled his destiny and prospered because the Bible says God was with him (Genesis 39:2-3).


You want God to help you through all your challenges in life and lead you to a glorious future? Thank Him at all times.



ACTION POINT:

Spend at least thirty minutes thanking God today. Don't ask for anything, just thank Him.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Genesis 4-6



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE



HYMN: NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD


1. Now thank we all our God

    With heart and hands and voices,

    Who wondrous things hath done,

    In whom His world rejoices,

    Who from our mother's arms

    Hath bless'd us on our way

    With countless gifts of love

    And still is ours today.


2. Oh may this bounteous God

    Through all our life be near us,

    With ever joyful hearts

    And blessed peace to cheer us,

    And keep us in His grace,

    And guide us when perplex'd

    And free us from all ills

    In this world and the next


3. All praise and thanks to God

    The Father now be given,

    The Son, and Spirit blest,

    Who reign in highest heaven,

    The One eternal God,

    Whom earth and heav'n adore,

    For thus it was, is now,

    And shall be evermore.

Happy New Year!!!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY 1ST JANUARY 2021


THEME: IN THE BEGINNING, GOD SAID



MEMORISE:

Genesis  1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.



READ: Genesis 1:1-5

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.



MESSAGE


When God speaks, it is done. This is because there is power in His word (Hebrews 4:12). I congratulate you today because the Almighty who knows no impossibility (Luke 1:37) is saying to you on the very first day of this year that you will never suffer again. Everything He has planned for you shall come to pass this year in Jesus’ name. 


However, you must become a member of God’s family for His word to impact your life positively. To have the Light of God in your life throughout this year, you must repent of your sins and accep Jesus Christ as your Lord. It is impossible for your ”New Year Resolutions” to withstand the test of temptations without the power in the blood of Jesus that was shed for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28).


After inviting Jesus to become the Lord over your life, you must ensure that you continue to dwell in Him permanently. He is the only Light that can keep you out of darkness and see you successfully through this year and beyond (John 8:12).


Darkness is the opposite of light and it represents all forms of evil. Thus, when God commands light into anyone or anything, it simply means that darkness has been ruling over that person or thing. From the Bible reading of today, you will see that the world was deep in chaos, darkness and was without form. However, God spoke, as He is speaking to you on this significant day. He said ”...Iet there be light” and there was light. Today, I command light to shine into your life and repel every form of darkness, in the mighty name of Jesus. 


The Lord has promised us that as we walk in the Light, we will fellowship with Him, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son will cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:7).


Remain faithful to your decision to follow Jesus throughout this year and your mouth will be full of testimonies of God's goodness in the mighty name of Jesus. 


If anybody asks you why you are so sure, tell the fellow that it is because God has said it. Hallelujah! 

Happy NewYear!



PRAYER POINT:

Father, thank You for bringing me into another year. Please, let the power in Your word bring Your promises to pass in my life and family, in the mighty name of Jesus.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Genesis 1-3



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 6: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS


1. "Great is thy faithfulness"

O God my Father!

There is no shadow of turning with Thee:

Thou changest not, Thy compassion, they fail not,

As Thou has been Thou forever will be.


Chorus

"Great is Thy faithfulness!"

"Great is Thy faithfulness!"

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!


2. Summer and winter, and spring time and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.


3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: THURSDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2020.

 

THEME: A NEW YEAR COMETH.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.                                                

Philippians 4:13

 

 

 

READ:  Psalm 90:12

 

 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

We have come to the end of another year. a new year begins tomorrow. At the end of a season, it is important that you sit and review the season.

 

Review all that happened or didn’t in every aspect of your life in 2020. Did you experience any progress in your career? Did you draw closer to God this year? did your relationship with loved ones get better this year? you know the important areas of your life; do a review.

 

 

After your review, you will see areas where you need to improve. The opportunity to improve starts now; grab it with faith in God for a better year. list the things you want to achieve in the new year and put things in place to ensure you achieve them.

 

If for example, you want to live a better spiritual life, but there is a partner you keep committing fornication or adultery with, then it is time to delete that fellow’s number and cut all ties with him/her. Hebrews 12:1 says:

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”

 

 

Let the word of God guide you in all matters. Psalm 37:5 tells us to:

 

            “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

 

Beloved, your decisions and actions now will determine how year 2021 will be for you. If there are things you want to stop in your life, you had better not carry them in 2021 and if there are things you want start in your life, bring them in now. You have a chance to write your own history in 2021; don’t miss it.

 

 

May the Almighty God bless you tremendously in the coming year in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Declare the things that you want in the year 2021. It will be a greater year for you than all those that had come before it, in the mighty name of Jesus.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 22: O LORD MY GOD!

 

 

1.       O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

2.       When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

 

3.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

4.       And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

 

5.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

 

6.       When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

 

7.       Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
