Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: SUNDAY 24TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: RAPTURE: ARE YOU READY?

 

MEMORISE:

 

 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.                                                                                        

Revelation 16:15

 

 

READ:  Matthew 24:36-44

 

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

 

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

 

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

 

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

 

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

As Christians, we should be excited that one day, we will leave this sinful world for Heaven - a place where there is no sorrow or sickness, where there is no need to work, where the only thing we will be doing is worshipping God. Heaven is a place of all-round enjoyment. Everyone I know who has had a revelation of Heaven did not want to return to earth because it is just too beautiful and perfect.

 

Now, let me ask you- are you prepared for the Rapture? If the trumpet were to sound now, would you be on your way to Heaven or would you remain here on earth? Examine your life very well: the thoughts of your heart, the words of your mouth, the things you do with your hands - are they things that will make you qualified for Heaven or will they hold you back if the Rapture takes place today? If you have not been living holy, you are lucky that rapture has not occurred because if it had, you would either be in hell by now or left here on earth to face the Anti-Christ. If I were you, I would take the opportunity to repent now and begin to live holy. The Rapture is not something that you should toy with; it is a matter of eternity - an era without an end. Nothing should be too precious for you to leave so you can make it to Heaven. Jesus said in Mark8:36:

 

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

 

 

If your hands will make you lose Heaven, it is better you cut them off than go to hell with two hands. Imagine that you manage to squeeze through the gate of Heaven, but it closes on one of your hands. You would have two options: either to cut off the hand and go in or to go back out with two good hands. Which would you take?

 

 

I am sure you would prefer to enter Heaven without that hand. In the same way, you should prefer to sacrifice the pleasure of spending stolen money, you should be able to discipline, yourself from engaging in fornication or adultery and stop telling so that you can make it to Heaven. Nobody knows when the Rapture will take place or when they would die. Even if the trumpet does not sound today, are you sure you will

still be alive tomorrow? Remember, it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this is the judgement (Hebrews9:27).

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

 

Nothing should be too difficult for you to drop so as to make Heaven.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 37-39

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

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

 

 

1.       Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in endless praise.

 

2.       Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.

 

3.       Take my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

 

4.       Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

 

5.       Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine.

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: SATURDAY 23RD JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: DON'T GIVE UP.

 

MEMORISE:

 

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.               

Jeremiah 29:11

 

 

READ:  Psalm 126:1-6

 

1When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

 

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

 

3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

 

4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.

 

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

 

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

 

MESSAGE:

 

You may have tried many things, and none seems to be succeeding; I want to encourage you not to give up. Don't forget your dreams. Don't forget the prophecies that have come forth concerning your glorious destiny. God has a special purpose for your life. It may not look like it now, but if you don't give up, you will soon see it coming to pass in your life, in Jesus' name.

 

 

I had an uncle who was very poor, so poor that he could not afford decent clothing. One day, he asked his wife to use her wrapper to sew buba and soro for him. He had made up his mind to commit suicide, but he wanted to do it in style. He wore the clothes his wife had made for him and went to Church. He sang and danced so well that everyone noticed him. He wanted it to be that when they heard of his death, they would say "Oh, we didn't know he was celebrating his departure". However, God had other plans. The man of God came up and preached about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. He said despite the fact that it looked like there was no hope for these three Hebrew children, God's glory shone through their hopeless situation.

 

 

The message hit my uncle and he said, "I don't know how God will bring me out of this storm, but I refuse to die". On saying that, the Prince of Peace spoke peace to his storm. The day he was sharing the testimony, he had just purchased fourteen cars for his company. Imagine if he had given up; he would have missed out on what God had in store for him. God knows the way out of that situation you are going through. Hold on to Him and He will bring you out He says to you in lsaiah43:2:

 

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shalI the flame kindle upon thee.”

 

 

I speak peace into whatever storm you are going through. I replace every source of shame in your life with glory now. Whatever the devil is using to steal your joy Is turned around for your favor. No more depression in your life in the mighty name of Jesus. Raise your head up high, God loves you and He will make all things beautiful in His time.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

Don't give up; God's going to bring glory out of that hopeless situation. Hold on to Him.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 32-34

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 11: I NEED THEE EV'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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: FRIDAY 22ND JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: RESTITUTION.

 

MEMORISE:

 

 

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.                            Luke 19:8

 

 

READ:  Leviticus 6:1-5

 

 

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

 

2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

 

3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

 

4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

 

5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Restitution means making right something you have done wrong. if you have stolen something, you should return it now that you are saved. Restitution is proof that you feel sorry for sins committed in the past and wish that you had not committed them in the first place.

 

 

I recall sometime ago when I was still a schoolteacher, I needed an extra mattress for visitor, so I took one from the school's dormitory. After the visitor left, I retained it and also took it along when I was leaving the school. About seven years later, I gave my life to Christ and my conscience began to prick me. I decided to restitute. Since I had been using it for seven years, I knew it wouldn't be right to just return it, so I paid back double the value of the mattress to the school. Nobody told me to do that, I did it because I realized that what I did was wrong, and I wanted to put things right. You should however seek Christian counselling if you are not sure of how to go about restitution.

 

 

Don't mind any Pastor who tells you that there is no need for restitution. If you are genuinely born again, the Holy Spirit will not allow you rest until you have returned whatever it is you took wrongfully. Now, if you are trying to restitute for what happened a very long time ago, you must be just. For example, if you stole Nl7 when it had huge value, it would be wrong to return N17 today. Find out the equivalent of that amount in today's market, or how much interest it would have accrued now if the owner had put it in the bank, then return the sum. Restitution is not a religious act; it is borne out of regret for the past and a willingness to correct it

 

“If a man shall deliver unto his. neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found let him pay double.”                                                Exodus22:7

 

 

When someone puts something in your care and It goes missing, you should restitute, unless the owner says otherwise.

 

 

If you borrow someone's car and it got damaged in your in your custody, it is your responsibility to repair It. If you cannot afford the repair at that time, don't act as if nothing happened; report the  matter  to  the  owner  of  the car, apologize and humbly ask him  to  help you  repair it, promising to repay once you can afford it. If the owner says you should not worry, then you are free.

 

 

Like Zacchaeus in today's memory verse, we must understand and abide by the principle of restitution.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

Is there anything the Holy Spirit keeps reminding you to restitute? Go ahead and do it Immediately!

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 29-31

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 11: I NEED THEE EV'RY HOUR.

 

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

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

 

o   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.
