Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: FRIDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2021.

THEME:  LEARN FROM MICHAL.

 

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

Therefore, Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.                        2 Samuel 6:23

 

 

 

READ:  2 Samuel 6:16-23

 

16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

Michal is the only woman recorded in the Bible who never gave birth to a child in her lifetime. We see the reason in our Bible reading for today. David had just triumphantly brought in the Ark of the Covenant to Israel and was coming home to bless his household when Michal welcomed him with mockery. How do you welcome your husband when he gets home from work? Is it with honor or contempt like Michal?

 

Many years ago, when I wasn't as popular as I am now, a very distinguished person visited our home while I was away. When I arrived, I greeted him and went into my room to pray. My wife joined me, and we prayed together as we normally do. When she came out afterwards, she apologized to the guest for leaving him all by himself, but he said, "No Ma'am, I have seen such a great example today''.

 

 

Dear wife, your husband deserves far more honor from you than any dignitary anywhere. Always welcome him home like a king who has returned to his palace. The home should be where he refreshes himself before he goes out again to face the world; help him to feel refreshed. Make him always happy to return home, not sad that he has to come and face a nagging wife again. Some men spend long hours at the office, not because they are working but because they want to spend less time at home. Don't make your home like that

 

It is a terrible thing for a wife to mock her husband. The Bible says you are to submit to your husband as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22). If you mock your husband, you are mocking your own head and if it is not well with the head, it cannot be well with the body. Your husband's current financial state doesn't matter don't mock him. Even when he makes a mistake do not mock him. There are certain blessings that can come to you through. your husband, but if you keep mocking him, the blessings will not flow from him to you. On that faithful day when David had danced So much for God, the anointing on him must have been special. He was coming home to bless his family, which included Michal. Her barrenness could have ended that day. However, instead of a blessing, she got a course.

 

Your husband is the priest of your home; he is representing God in that home·

 

 

It is dangerous to mock a representative of God. Learn from Michal.

 

 

 

KEY POINT:

The cost of indiscipline is far higher than that of discipline.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Leviticus 16 -18

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 

HYMN 3:  BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE.

1.       Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,

All ye that are upright in heart;

And ye that have made Him your choice,

Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

o   Refrain:

Rejoice, rejoice,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice;

Rejoice, rejoice,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice.

 

2.       Be joyful, for He is the Lord

On earth and in Heaven supreme;

He fashions and rules by His word—

The “Mighty” and “Strong” to redeem.

 

3.       What though in the conflict for right

Your enemies almost prevail?

God’s armies, just hid from your sight,

Are more than the foes which assail.

 

4.       Though darkness surround you by day,

Your sky by the night be o’ercast,

Let nothing your spirit dismay,

But trust till the danger is past.

 

5.       Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,

His praises proclaiming in song;

Let gratefulness give all a voice,

The loud hallelujahs prolong!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: THURSDAY 11TH FEBRUARY, 2021.

THEME: WORKING AGAINST YOURSELF?

MEMORIZE:

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?.

Romans 8:31

BIBLE READING: 

MATTHEW 18:23-34

23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

25. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30. And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me;

33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

34. And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

MESSAGE

God is great and He has great plans for His children.

However, there are many people who work against the plan of God for their lives. Romans 8:31 says:

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?.

Many people answer the question above by saying “Nobody”, and I always wonder which Bible they are reading, because in my own Bible, the answer was not given.

The Bible was silent about the answer. Let us therefore look at it logically, If God be for us can the devil be against us?.

Definitely not, because James 4:7 says that if we submit to God, then we can resist the devil and he will flee.

If God be for us, can demons be against us? No way, because Mark 16:17 says we are to cast demons out.

If God be for us, can witchdoctors be against us? No, because Isaiah 54:17 says no weapon formed against us shall prosper.

If God be for us, there is only one fellow who can be against us: ourselves.

Disobedience is the major thing that makes many people work against themselves even when God is for them. Disobedience has destroyed many destinies in the past. God is the master sculptor.

When a sculptor wants to make a masterpiece and the wood decides to break off where it shouldn’t, he may then be left with no choice than to toss it into the fire as firewood.

Unfortunately, this is the reality of many people God had destined for greatness.

If you refuse to obey God, He will not force you, but your actions may make His original plan not come to pass anymore.

This is why you must obey God to the letter at all times, no matter how difficult it may appear.

Facing difficulties while obeying God is far better than the anguish of an unfulfilled destiny caused by disobedience to His word.

Beloved, I leave you with this passage:

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

(1 Peter 5:6)

KEY POINT:

The cost of indiscipline is far higher than that of discipline.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

JOHN 13-16

HYMN 24: TAKE MY LIFE, 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 ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless 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,

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,

Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power 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,

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,

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 10TH FEBRUARY 2021.

 

THEME:  TEACH YOUR CHILDREN FIRST.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

The rod and reproof give wisdom:  but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.          Proverbs 29:15

 

 

 

READ:  Proverbs 22:6

 

6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

 

 

Proverbs 29:17

 

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

I used to tell my daughter before she got married 'When a boy comes to you and starts to say things like 'You are the most beautiful thing under heaven, you are the sugar in  my tea, I've never seen  anything as beautiful as you, where have you been all these days because as soon I saw you , my sun began to shine' .. . run!" She asked "Why?" I replied "How do you think I got these lines? I was once your age".

 

You have been in this world before your children got here. God brought them through you for a purpose; you should teach them about life before the devil gets to them. When you teach them from home, you have the opportunity to form in them godly perspectives. If you however wait for their teacher in school or some relative to tell them these things first, it would be hard for you to get them to unlearn

any wrong perspective they m ay have been indoctrinated with.

 

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.                                                                                                                                   Proverbs13:22

 

 

The above passage says that if you are good, you will leave an inheritance for your children. Their inheritance does not only have to be material things; you should share your experiences with them too.

 

 

In the book of Proverbs, we see king Solomon teaching his son throughout the book. In Proverbs 1:10-19, he taught his son not to associate with sinners. He taught his son not to give in to their lures to commit sin (v10), he taught him not to do business with them (v14) and he taught him about the dangers of greed (v19). Have you taught your children about the kind of friends they should have and the kinds they should not have? Have you taught them who they should do business with? Have you taught them about money? Maybe if the children of these days had been taught about the dangers of greed when they were much younger, we would not have so many Internet fraudsters around today. In Proverbs 6, King Solomon taught his son the dangers of fornication and how to avoid strange women. Have you taught your children the dangers of committing sexual immorality and how to avoid it? If that child commits fornication or is taken advantage of by an adult because you did not talk to him or her about it, you Would have

failed in performing your duty as a good parent.

 

 

KEY POINT:

If you let a child get the wrong perspective from someone else, it would be difficult to change that perspective later on.
