Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: SUNDAY 28TH FEBRUARY, 2021.

THEME: NOT FOR DOGS.

MEMORISE:

“But he answered and said, it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.”

Matthew 15:26

READ: Isaiah 59:1-2 (KJV)

1. Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear;

2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

MESSAGE:

Many people see God as a magician. They come to Him only when they need to see a ‘magic trick’; though they say what they want is a miracle.

Such people want to live anyhow they like, yet have God perform miracles for them whenever they need it. I laugh When I encounter such people.

Jesus said that God is our Father and I know He prefers to be addressed as such. If you don’t believe me, read Matthew 6:9. He taught His disciples to pray saying “Our Father” God wants man to fellowship with Him for who He is and not just for the miracles they can get from Him.

Think about it, if God created man with the sole purpose of seeking Him for miracles, then the Garden of Eden would not have had everything man needed to survive.

If you don’t have a relationship with God and you don’t fellowship with Him regularly, then He is not your Father. His miracles are for His children only, so don’t bother coming to Him for miracles.

The funny thing is that when sinners come to God just for miracles, they question His power when they don’t get it. The problem however is with them and not God. The Bible says: If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: – (Psalm 66:18).

Years ago, a woman was told that I have a special anointing for making the barren fruitful, so she attended one of our Conventions. In those days, we were not so many so could lay hands on everybody with ease.

When she came, I laid hands on her and she fell under the anointing. One year later, she returned complaining that in spite of my prayers, she was still barren. I was going to pray for her again when the Lord said, “Ask her how many boyfriends she has.” If I didn’t know the voice of God, it would have been difficult to ask because she was a rich and powerful woman.

I mustered some courage and said “Errm… how many boyfriends do you have, Ma?” “Six” she answered. I then said “You have a husband and you also have six boyfriends.

How then can you expect the Holy One of Israel to give you a child?” My Father’s miracles are only for His children.

Are you His child?

KEY POINT:

To qualify for a miracle, you must live a holy life.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Acts 1-3

HYMN 7: HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS FOR THE CLEANSING POWER?

1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?

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 Saviour’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?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

Are you 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,

O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

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
