Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: FRIDAY 8TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: MIND YOUR WORDS.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither soy thou before the angel, that it was on error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?            

Ecclesiastes 5:6

 

 

READ:  Genesis 35:17-18

 

17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

 

18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Sometimes, our emotions overwhelm us so much that we say things we don't mean to in the heat of the moment. In today's Bible reading, Rachel called her

last child 'a child of sorrow' because of the intense pain she went through to deliver him. Thank God Jacob changed that name. You need l be very careful

of what you say when you are sad, excited, angry or frustrated, because whatsoever you say may have permanent consequences. Esau sold his birthright to his

brother when he was hungry. Be careful of the agreements you enter into when you are desperate, so that you don't live to regret them.

Samson was head over heels in love with Delilah and because of this, he divulged the secret of his power to her. You may not know it but the devil is

watching you. He is taking note of your moods and emotions. Once he notices that you always talk without restraint, he will set you up to say the wrong

thing at the wrong time.

 

Judges11:30-31 says:

"And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's,

            and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."

 

 

In the passage above, the devil had seen the fear and doubt in Jephthah, so he suggested that Jephthah should promise God a sacrifice of anything he saw

first upon his return without thinking, Jephthah made that promise. On getting home however, the devil arranged for his only daughter to be the one

he saw first. If only he had thought deeply about the vow before saying it!

 

 

Don't become a victim of your own words; think carefully before saying anything. If you find yourself at a family function and have the opportunity to

speak to your relative, think carefully before you speak. Don't assume all your family members are your friends; remember Joseph was sold by his blood

brothers because of the dreams he shared with them (Genesis 37:5-28).

God will help you.

 

 

 

ACTION POINT:

 

Make it a habit to always think carefully before you talk.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Deuteronomy 5-7

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 11: I NEED THEE EVE'RY HOUR.

 

 

1.       I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Every hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

 

2.       I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r when Thou art nigh.

 

3.       I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.

 

4.       I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.

 

5.       I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;

Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Deuteronomy 3-4

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 24: TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE.

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Always, only for my King.

Filled with messages from Thee.

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

 

6.       Take my love, my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

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.
