Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: SATURDAY 27TH FEBRUARY 2021.

THEME:  DANGERS OF ALCOHOL III.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!                                                                     Habakkuk 2:15

 

 

 

READ:  Genesis 19:31-38

 

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

 

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

 

33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

 

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

 

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

 

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

 

37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

 

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

 

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

 

"Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest hi drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!"                                                      Habakkuk2:15

 

 

Not only is it sinful to drink alcohol, it is also sinful to offer it to others. I used to think it was alright to give alcohol to other people to drink as long as I was not drinking it until my Father-in-the-Lord preached that It was wrong and he backed it up with the Bible passage above.

 

 

The day I heard that message, I got rid of all the alcoholic drinks I kept at home for entertaining visitors because 1 didn't want a curse on my head. In those days, I had friends who were sailors, and whenever they travelled, they brought me all kinds of alcoholic drinks. Some of my other friends knew this and always visited whenever they wanted a drink. Whenever they arrived, they would say " We can't pass the house of the king without saying hello to him". Little did I know that I was the 'king' of alcohol. I thank God that I am now well known for soul winning and holiness.

 

 

Habakkuk 2:15 says if a person knows the dangers of alcohol and avoids it, but still gives it to others, then woe unto that person. As such, when you are organizing a party and some people are suggesting that you serve alcohol even though you don't drink, tell them that you don't want any curse on yourself.

 

 

If you truly love your neighbors and relatives, you would be persuading them to stop taking alcohol, not offering it to them. The Bible says:

 

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts."   Proverbs31:6

 

 

 

Are your relatives and friends ready to perish? Do you want to be a tool in the hand of the devil to make anyone perish? If your answer is 'no' then you shouldn't offer anyone alcohol.

 

 

When Lot's daughters offered their father alcohol, they thought they were doing him good, but their ill -conceived decision later on created enemies for Israel (Genesis 19:37-38).

 

 

KEY POINT:

 

Offering alcohol to people will bring a curse upon you and ultimately lead to their destruction.

 

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Philippians 1-4

 

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE    



HYMN 16:  O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.

 

1.       O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.

 

2.       Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defense is sure.

 

3.       Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God,

To endless years the same.

 

4.       Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,

“Return, ye sons of men”:

All nations rose from earth at first,

And turn to earth again.

 

5.       A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

 

6.       The busy tribes of flesh and blood,

With all their lives and cares,

Are carried downwards by the flood,

And lost in foll’wing years.

 

7.       Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly, forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the op’ning day.

 

8.       Like flow’ry fields the nations stand

Pleased with the morning light;

The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand

Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.

 

9.       O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.


DATE: FRIDAY 26TH FEBRUARY, 2021.


THEME: DANGER OF ALCOHOL (2).


MEMORISE:


“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.”


Proverbs 31:6


READ: Proverbs 31:4-6 (KJV)


4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink;


5. Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.


6. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.


MESSAGE:


Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Proverbs 20:1.

The Bible says it is only fools who take alcohol. Alcohol makes a fool of anyone who consumes it, so much that the drunkard standing on solid ground can begin to think he is sleeping in the middle of the sea. He would think he is lying on a bed. Imagine such mockery.

“Oh, I just want to take a little; I can’t get drunk: I know how to control myself.”

No one starts drinking with the intention of misbehaving and acting foolish.

It starts with looking at the drink and desiring it. The moment you start desiring it, you are already treading close to the trap of the devil and you will soon fall if you don’t take your eyes and mind off it.

If you know that you struggle with taking alcohol, why would you go for a meeting in a bar? You are only tempting yourself.

If you want to stop drinking, then you have to overcome the fear of losing the friends who drink with you.

When I met Christ and stopped drinking, I lost friends because whenever they visited me, I offered them soft drinks instead of the assorted alcoholic beverages we used to drink. I lost friends, but God replaced them with many brothers and sisters in Him.

Proverbs 31:4 says:

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

In other words, the one who drinks cannot make clear decisions.

If a person cannot make good decisions, how then would such a person excel in life? How would he or she become great and fulfil destiny? If you want to achieve greatness in life and have all your dreams come true, you have to let go of alcohol.

How do you stop taking alcohol? Stop looking at it. Don’t look at the drink or it’s container at all. Don’t watch the adverts, don’t spend time around people who drink or talk about alcohol.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

(Proverbs 23:31-32).

Abstain from alcohol, it ruins destinies.


KEY POINT:

Alcohol has nothing else to offer the drinker but evil. Flee from it.


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 14-16


HYMN 22: STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS.


1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,

Ye soldiers of the Cross!

Lift high His royal banner;

It must not suffer loss.

From vict’ry unto vict’ry

His army shall He lead,

Till every foe is vanquished,

And Christ is Lord indeed.


2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,

The trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict,

In this His glorious day;

Ye that are men now serve Him

Against unnumbered foes;

Let courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.


3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!

Stand in His strength alone;

The arm of flesh will fail you,

Ye dare not trust your own:

Put on the gospel armour,

And watching unto prayer;

Where duty calls, or danger,

Be never wanting there.


4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!

The strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle,

The next the victor’s song;

To him that overcometh,

A crown of life shall be;

He with the King of glory

Shall reign eternally

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: THURSDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2021.

THEME:  DANGERS OF ALCOHOL I.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.                                                                                                                        Proverbs 23:29 -30

 

 

 

READ:  Proverbs 23:29-35

 

29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

 

30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

 

31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

 

32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

 

33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

 

34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

 

35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

Many people have argued about whether it is right for a Christian to drink alcohol or not. Some say it is okay to drink but not to drink too much. However, that is not what my Bible says. The Bible says that you should not even look at alcohol no matter how alluring it might seem to you.

 

“Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.         Proverbs23:31-32

 

 

 

 

You see, the Bible says if you as much as look at alcohol, it will eventually bite you like a serpent. I think that alone should be enough to make you stay away from alcohol.

 

No alcoholic can make it to heaven. How do I know? It is there in our Bible reading for today- Proverbs23:33:

"Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things."

 

 

Anyone who takes alcohol will behold strange women and their heart will utter perverse things. Can someone who lusts after strange women make it to heaven? Can a person whose heart is full of perverse things go to heaven? The answer is no, so someone who drinks alcohol cannot be

serious about making heaven.

 

 

Stop taking alcohol. You cannot control the influence of alcohol; it rules over whoever takes it. However not only will it rule over the fellow, it will also bring evil to the person. A number of evil things amongst several others that could befall an alcoholic are listed in our Bible reading for today. The alcoholic will have woes, that is, curses. An alcoholic will have sorrows, in other words, such a person will be depressed. A person who takes alcohol will have contentions, that is, he or she will always be fighting one thing or the other. People who take alcohol will have babblings: complaints upon complaints. They will have wound without cause - wounds to their lives and aspirations. They will have redness of eyes which reflects a violent heart. I could go on and on.

 

Certainly, no bottle of beer, wine or liquor is worth any of the evils mentioned above.

 

 

Beloved, abstain from all appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22).

 

 

 

ACTION POINT:

 

Don't drink any form of alcohol and If you know anyone who does, show them the message for today.

 

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Exodus 11-13

 

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


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 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.

PERSEVERANCE 


Special Note:


These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2021.


THEME:  PERSEVERANCE.

 

 

MEMORISE:

 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;                                                                                Ephesians 6:18                              

 

 

READ:  2 Corinthians 6:3-7

 

3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

 

4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

 

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

 

6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

 

7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

 

 

 

MESSAGE:

 

The word perseverance can be simply described as being persistent in doing something despite difficulties and delay in achieving success. No one can excel in the Christian journey without perseverance.

 

 

2 Timothy 4:2 encourages us to:

 

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine."

 

 

The fruit of the Spirit - longsuffering (Galatians 5:22) is exhibited in the life of a believer who perseveres.

 

 

In the Christian race, without perseverance it is very easy to fall away from the faith. No wonder Jesus said in the book of Matthew 24:13:

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

 

 

Endurance and perseverance are integral to our Christian walk. A believer who cannot endure suffering will be unable to do the wiII of God.

 

 

Suffering is one of the ways God purges us of every impurity. Without suffering, the flesh will grow strong and hinder your spiritual growth (Isaiah 48:10).

 

 

What kind of hardships should believers endure?

 


Persecution: Jesus said believers will be persecuted for believing in Him. John 15:20 says"... If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you..."


 


Affliction: Sometimes believers would be afflicted but the Bible says it is working for us " ... a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (2 Corinthians 4:17).


 


Momentary Lack: Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:12 "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound:  everywhere   and   in  all   things   I  am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." So when lack comes along, we must learn to endure in faith knowing that the storm wiII be over soon.


 

It is however comforting to know that despite a11 the challenges we will face in our Christian race; the crown of life awaits us if we persevere (Revelation 2:10).

 

 

 

REFLECTION:

 

Would you endure hardship for the sack of the gospel?
