Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: NOTHING HIDDEN.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.     

Luke 8: 17

 

 

 

READ:  Luke 12:1-3

 

 

1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

 

2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

 

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Many years ago, a man who had a chronic illness was advised to see me for prayers. I prayed for him but nothing happened, so I asked God why that was so. God told me to ask, him about something he did at a particular stage of his life. When I did, the man was shocked, and he opened up on a secret he thought was well kept.

 

Several years before, he had committed a crime and was due to be convicted due to the testimonies of some witnesses. He knew this, so he hatched a plan. Since the witnesses were to come to court by boat, he arranged for their boat to capsize and they all drowned. He then made sure that alI the people he sent to wreck their boat were also killed. He was eventually acquitted of the initial crime and he lauded himself for covering his tracks excellently. It came as a shock to him seeing the incident spring up again. Obviously, he did not know of God's word in Proverbs 11:21 which says:

 

"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunsihed: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."

 

 

He thought the crimes had been covered, but there he is suffering the repercussions. Everything you do today is a seed that will produce fruits in due time. It does not matter how much you try to bury it, one day, it will spring forth and everyone will see the harvest of your secrets.

 

 

Stop stealing, stop committing adultery/fornication, stop watching pornography and put an end to every ungodly habit in your life today. No matter how hard you try to hide these sinful acts they will be revealed someday· Indeed, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.

 

In any case, the people you are pretending for don't have the power to send you to Heaven or hell. Whatever they think of you does not affect your eternity.The One who will Judge you at the end of time knows even the thoughts of your heart,  so stop pretending and start disciplining yourself to do the right

thing always.

 

I would rather expose my sins to men and make it to Heaven than look holy to men and end up in hell. Since I cannot hide my sins from God I would rather not commit sin at all. Make up your mind to stay away from sin today.

 

 

REFLECTION:

 

What will you gain if everyone thinks you are holy on earth and you end up in hell?

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Deuteronomy 1-2

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 7: HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS.

 

1.       Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb


Refrain:

Are you washed in the blood,

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb

Are your garments spotless Are they white as snow

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

 

2.       Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Do you rest each moment in the Crucified

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

 

3.       When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb

 

4.       Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: TUESDAY 5TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: ALL ROUND FRUITFULLNESS.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your catt le.                                                                                   Deuteronomy7:14

 

 

 

READ:  Genesis 1:26-28

 

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

When the Lord asked Adam and Eve to be fruitful and to multiply in today's Bible reading, He was not offering a piece of advice, rather He was Issuing a command to be obeyed from generation to generation. Thus, we can conclude that failure to bear fruit is a direct transgression of this divine decree. I pray for you today: The Lord will cause you to experience all-round fruitfulness this year in Jesus name.

 

Beloved, not only is God interested in your spiritual fruitfulness, He is also interested in your physical and material fruitfulness. God desires that His children should live in divine prosperity. Jeremiah 17:7-88 says:

 

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters...her leaf shall be green... neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

 

 

If you have not given your life to Christ, before anything else, you need to first bear the fruit of repentance. This was the same thing Jesus told the Sadducees in Matthew 3:8. If however, you are already saved by grace, there are two categories of fruit you must bear this year. The first is the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (Galatians 5:22-23).

The second category is the fruit of souls. You must be a committed soul -winner.

 

It is already dangerous for anyone not to be fruitful, however it is a lot more dangerous for a child of God. This is because Jesus Christ says in John 15:2 that He will take away every branch in Him that does not bear fruit. I pray that you will not be taken away because of fruitlessness

in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

One advantage of soul-winning is guaranteed answers to pray (John 15:16).The reason the Lord has spared your life up until now is that He is hoping to see you bear fruit.

 

 

My prayer is that you will not disappoint God this year. As you bear fruit, He will answer all your prayers in  the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

 

ACTION POINT:

 

Father, please cause me to only bear fruits that are pleasing to You this year and beyond, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Genesis 13-16

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 25: 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!

 

5.       There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: MONDAY 4TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: A NEW DAWN.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.                                 

Isaiah 43:19

 

 

READ:  Ephesians 5:15-17

 

 

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

 

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

 

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

A new year is a new dawn; it is a fresh opportunity to get things right. Every new year and on every birthday of mine, I consider how far I have come in the assignments God has given me and I have candid conversations with God as to things yet undone. Today I challenge you to also spend time  reflecting

on how far you have come and see if you are really where God expects you to be at this time. If you are lagging behind, then you must take advantage of this new dawn to put everything in its proper place so you can fulfil God's expectations for your life. Remove everything that has been holding you back and grab those things you know will help you move forward. Look back at the mistakes you made in the past

and learn from them; determine never to make them again.

 

Believe me, the fact that you made it to this year means God is giving you another opportunity to be closer to Him than ever before. This year can mark a new dawn for you spiritually. Decide today that this year, you will live for Him and Him alone. Decide that this year, you will not miss any day of the Open Heavens Devotional as it will help you commune with God daily. Determine that this year, you will spend and be spent for God. Make a commitment to

God that in this year you will please Him by preaching the gospel to every sinner you come across. Promise God that you will fast and won't let your flesh

control you.

A new dawn also means the arrival of joy as we see in the Bible passage below:

 

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."                                                                                        Psalm 30:5

 

The year 2020 may have been very challenging and tough for you. Perhaps you lost a loved one, perhaps the COVID-19 pandemic affected your means of

livelihood and things just didn't go as you had planned. I have good news for you: It's a new dawn. You may have wept last year, but this year, you will

experience joy. As long as you live holy and serve the Lord, this will be your season of joy.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

Live for God this year and you will experience joy like never before.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Genesis 10-12

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 10: I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY.

 

 

1.       I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”


Refrain:

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

By faith, on Heaven’s tableland,

A higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

 

2.       My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where those abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

 

3.       I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught the joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

 

4.       I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
