Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: THURSDAY 28TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: FAITH AND PATIENCE.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

Now faith is the substance   of    things hoped f o r , t h e evidence of things not seen.          Hebrews 11 :1

 

 

READ:  Hebrews 11:1-1 1

 

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

 

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

 

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

 

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

 

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

 

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

 

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

 

11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

The more we trust a person, the more patient become towards them. If they promise to come soon as possible, we will wait for them even more patiently because we know they mean what they say Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the word of God. Thus, if we would be steadfast in faith, we must constantly fellowship with God's word so that we know Him for who He is.

 

 

Faith without patience produces people who start off well but cannot finish strong. Patience without faith produces people who constantly suffer but have no power to change their situation. When Satan whispers to you that God's word is not working, faith says "It is a lie” and strengthens your resolve to wait. Faith has no fear; it knows that God's word has never failed, so it builds patience in you to wait for the word to come to pass. Faith strengthens patience. James 1:3 says:

 

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”

 

 

Faith and patience, working together, defend and protect your soul. This is why sometimes; God tries your faith so as to build Your patience. He knows that just like Job, if both your faith and patience are strong, no matter what the devil brings your way, you will not fall. You need both faith and patience to win the heavenly race, because, it is a marathon and not just a sprint. I got born again over forty-five years ago and it was as if Jesus was coming same year. Some of those who started the race with me have backslidden now. They had faith, but not patience. When I started seeing some of these people backsliding, I was worried for my own faith, thus I cried to God to help me so that I would finish strong. One day, I was watching the making of a movie in which the lead actor told the director that he was not sure he would be able to win the horse race that was to be a part of the movie. The director responded, "You just keep riding; I will make "sure you win". God spoke to me through that: He said "You just remain In the race, I will make sure you finish strong". Jude 1:24 says He is the only One who can keep you to the end. I believe God and His word, and that is why, today, I am still standing.

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Father, please keep me until the end. Don't let me fall by the way in the course of my race to Heaven.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 49 -50

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 8: OH, MY COMARADES! SEE THE SIGNAL.

 

1.       Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

o   Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”

 

2.       See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;

Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!

 

3.       See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.

 

4.       Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;

Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 27TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: LIKE A CHILD III.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.             

Daniel 4:2

 

 

READ:  Matthew 10:32-33

 

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

 

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

Children are testifiers. If you give a child a gift, he or she would tell everyone about it. Children also boast a lot about their parents and the benefits they get from them. If you have just got a car, it is most likely that your child will want you to take him or her to school in it so as to show off to their friends. If you give a child a gift, if possible, he or she will tell the whole world about it.

 

 

Do you tell everyone what God has done for you or are you ashamed to talk about Him in public? Do you share testimonies of His wondrous works that will make others want to serve your God? I tell stories because I cannot help but brag about the things my God has done. These testimonies have encouraged people; some say "If God can do this, then I will serve Him too".

 

 

There was a couple who fought every night, so much so that they became a subject of mockery to their neighbors. This went on until someone invited them to The Redeemed Christian Church of God. Both of them gave their lives to Christ and the fighting stopped. That night, their neighbors did not sleep because they were waiting for them to fight as usual; however, they were disappointed. The neighbors watched for some more days until one of them summoned the courage to ask the couple why they had not been fighting. They told him that they had met Jesus at a Church; the neighbor said "Re ally? I must follow you to that Church". Before long, they introduced all their neighbors to Christ.

 

Your testimony is powerful enough to win souls for Christ. The people of the world brag about their witchdoctors, saying things like "There is no problem this Baba cannot solve, he solved this and that problem" and they end up winning their friends over. Your God is greater than any witchdoctor; indeed,

He created all things, including the witchdoctors. ln Jeremiah32:27, He says:

           

"•••I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

 

 

Why then can't you brag about Him too and use your testimonies to win souls for Him? Why not tell someone going through a difficult time that your God can solve that problem? Don't keep quiet about the things God has done for you; use them to win souls to His kingdom.

 

 

Action Point:

 

Make sure you share a testimony of something God did for you recently with an unbeliever today.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 46-48

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 17: OH WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY.

Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Day I Will Never Forget

After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away

Jesus My Savior I Met

Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend

He Met The Need Of My Heart

Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling

He Made All The Darkness Depart

Chorus

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

When At The Cross The Savior Made Me Whole

My Sins Were Washed Away

And My Night Was Turned To Day

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above

Into God’s Fam’ly Divine

Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love

Oh What A Standing Is Mine

And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made

When As A Sinner I Came

Took Of The Offer Of Grace

He Did Proffer He Saved Me

Oh Praise His Dear Name

 

Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure

After The Passing Of Time

I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure

There In Those Mansions Sublime

And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day

When At The Cross I Believed

Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal

From His Precious Hand I Received

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: TUESDAY 26TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: LIKE A CHILD II.

 

MEMORISE:

 

But without faith it Is Impossible to please hi m: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.                 

Hebrews 11:6

 

 

READ:  Deuteronomy 28:3-13

 

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

 

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

 

7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

 

8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

 

9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

 

10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.

 

11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

 

12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

 

13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

If a father tells his son that he would buy him a toy, the little boy would go around telling his peers that he has a toy already, despite the fact he is yet to receive the it. I remember promising a child that I would buy him a new pair of shoes. He went around telling everyone that he Was receiving new shoes and while boasting, one of his friends said his own father had promised him new shoes as well. The latter was laughed at because everyone knew his father could not afford to buy him new shoes. The boy however was so sure that he would have new shoes because his father had told him so. That was a boy whose father was known to be a pauper. How much more you?

 

 

Everyone knows you serve the King of kings; it is clearly written in Luke 1:37 that with God nothing shall be impossible; yet you doubt His word that says you shall be the head and no weapon fashioned against you can prosper. You doubt Exodus 23:26 which says that none shall be barren. You should be excited when you read these great promises that your Father has made to you. Would you be happy if your son shows doubt by looking for alternatives, after you have promised to provide for his needs? No. That is why Hebrews11:6 says:

 

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

 

 

Stop looking for substitutes for what God has promised you. If God has said it, He will do it All you have to do is believe. Many a time, we miss our miracles because we don't have faith in His word. While scientists will say "Prove it and I will believe you", God says "Believe me and I will prove it to you". Believe Him. Stand on His word, boast about His promises. Live in the fulfilment of the promise and He will hasten to bring it to pass.

 

 

lf God made Sarah conceive at the age of ninety, He still give you a child. No matter how hopeless the doctors say your case is, He will heal you. If He fed an entire nation with manna in the wilderness, He can provide for all your needs. If He parted the Red Sea so His children could Pass through and then drowned their enemies in that same sea, He will take you out of difficult situations, deal with all your pursuers and

level all your mountains.

 

 

Nothing is too hard for Him to do! Just believe.

 

 

Action Point:

 

Read today's Bible text (Deuteronomy 20:3-13) with excitement, knowing that the promises of God to you in that passage will surely come to pass.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 43-45

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 23: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING.

 

1.       Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

   

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

2.       Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

 

3.     Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God..

   

4.       Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

   

5.       Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: MONDAY 25TH JANUARY 2021.

 

THEME: LIKE A CHILD I.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.                                                         

1 John 4:8

 

 

READ:  Matthew 18:1-7

 

1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

 

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

 

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

 

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

 

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

 

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

 

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

In today's Bible reading, Jesus' disciples were asking Him "Who will be the greatest In the kingdom of Heaven?" He answered by putting a little child in front of them. He went on to say that anyone who wants to enter the kingdom of Heaven at all has to be like a little child. Matthew 18:3 says:

 

“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

 

 

What makes children good models? First, children do not understand bitterness; they do not keep malice. If you offend a little boy and he says he will not play with you anymore, five minutes late r, you would most likely see him running all over you again. The heart of a little child is full of love and that's exactly what God expects of His children. Jesus says in Matthew 22:37-39:

 

“...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

 

 

If you want to enter Heaven at all, you have to love like a little child. Little children love irrespective of status, they do not care whether you are a pauper or the President; they play with everyone the same way. They do not keep records of wrong doings; if you wrong a child now, few minutes later, he or she would have forgotten about the matter.

 

 

Do you love like a child? Do you show love to even those who offend you? Do you discriminate against the cleaner in your office just because the fellow is junior to you? Ho w do you speak to your house help? All these things will show if you are like a child or not. They will determine whether you will enter the kingdom of Heaven or not. As for me, even if you step on my toes from now until tomorrow, I will not allow you to send me to hell so I will continue to show you love. we may not be friends because Jesus didn't say we should be friends with everybody, but I will still love you. I will forgive you even before you offend me. I will not wish you evil or withhold benefits from you just because you offended me.

 

 

lf you want to make Heaven, love like a child.

 

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

Father, please help me to love and forgive like a child.

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 40-42

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

 

HYMN 20: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY.

 

1.       Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!

All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;

Praise Him in glad adoration.

 

2.       Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!

Hast thou not seen how thy desires e’er have been

Granted in what He ordaineth?

 

3.       Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;

Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

If with His love He befriend thee.

 

4.       Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,

Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,

Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,

Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

 

5.       Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,

Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,

Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,

Saints with His mercy surrounding.

 

6.       Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that is in me adore Him!

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him;

Let the Amen sound from His people again,

Gladly for aye we adore Him.
