Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY 6TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:   BE CONTENT I.

 

MEMORISE:

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.                                                                         Hebrews 13:5

READ:  1 Timothy 6:6-10

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

MESSAGE:

Contentment is one major trait that you need in order to live a good life and finish the heavenly race successfully. The treasures of this world are a major tool in the hands of the devil to make Christians fall. Even though the devil knew that Jesus Christ was well aware of the mansions waiting for Him in heaven, he still tried to tempt Him with the glories of this world (Luke 4:5-7). That is the same way he tempts Christians even today. He will show you your neighbor's new car and tell you that if you just steal a little money or cheat a client, then you can also buy that car. Your response should be that of Jesus in Luke4:8:

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

The only people who will fall into this trap of the devil are those who are not content with what they have. It is fine to want more but be grateful to God for the little that you have now as you ask Him for more. Don't put your attention on what you don't have, rather, put it on what you do have. Don't put your attention on what God has not given you, put it on what He has given you.

I have come to discover that when a person puts his attention so much on riches, they may eventually come, but at the expense of the fellow's stand with God. David said in Psalm 37:4 that you-r delight should not be in the things of this world but in the Lord. Only then will He give you all that you desire.

What is it that delights you? Is it having more money, buying new cars, travelling on vacation or is it the Lord? If your delight is in worldly things, the devil will present them to you in return for some compromises of your faith. Don't compromise to get rich, it is not worth it. Matthew 16:26 says if you gain the entire world and lose your soul, you are at a loss. Proverbs 16 :8 says:

“Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.”

God wants you to prosper (3 John 2), so you don't have to compromise your faith to be rich. It is better to be poor knowing that you are on your way to heaven than to be rich but on your way to helI.

KEY POINT:

When you are content with what God has given you and are grateful to Him, He will give you more.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 17-19

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 26:  TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE.

1.       To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

2.       Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3.       Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Open Heavens Prayer Points

 Prayer Points on Today’s Open Heavens: (Friday, March 5, 2021)

THE PRAYER OF AGREEMENT 

 Special Note:

These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his numerous disciples, of Christ, who was inspired and mandated by the Holy Spirit, effective, January 1st, 2015,, to start writing these prayer points, based on the Open Heavens Daily Devotional, authored by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

Some of the prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.

If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire. In Jesus' name, I pray.”

Prayer Points:

1.Thank You, Father, for the weapons of our warfare that are not carnal but mighty through You to the pulling down of strongholds.

2.Thank You, Father, for Your promise to always answer prayers of agreement, for where two or three are gathered, Your presence is established.

3.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me, in Jesus' name.

4.Father, let every spirit of lukewarmness and prayerlessness, that have crept into my life and Your church, be consumed by Your fire, in Jesus' name.

5.Father, let every spirit of malice, quarrel and strife, in Your church, that could hinder the move of the Holy Spirit, be destroyed by the blood of Jesus.

6.Father, let Your peace that passes all human understanding, reign supreme  in Your church, and in our homes, so that our prayers may not be hindered, when we stand together to pray, in Jesus' name.

7.Father, release upon my life and Your church, the prayer anointing; please, empower me to pray without ceasing, in Jesus' name.

8.Father, rekindle the fire of Your revival in my life, ministry, family and in Your church, in Jesus' name.

9.Father, give me the grace never to forsake the assembly of brethren together; and, answer by fire, every prayer of agreement, I make with my spouse or prayer partners, in Jesus' name.

10.Father, bless your son, Pastor E.A.Adeboye; confirm Your words in his mouth, and perform all his counsels, in Jesus' name.

11.Father, bless Your son, that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measures, and all those who have been rebroadcasting them, in Jesus' name.

12.Father, let every challenge, hindrance and obstacle of getting these prayer points across to Your children, timely, and on daily basis be removed, in Jesus' name.

13.Your Personal petitions.

14.In Jesus' name I pray.

(John 14:13-14; 15:16)

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: FRIDAY 5TH MARCH, 2021.

THEME: THE PRAYER OF AGREEMENT.

MEMORISE:

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”

Matthew 18:19

READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (KJV)

9. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat; but how can one be warm alone?

12. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

MESSAGE:

There is something very powerful about praying in agreement with someone else. It is something that beats all my mathematical reasoning.

For example, Leviticus 26:8 says: And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. If I am to analyse this passage mathematically, when five chase a hundred, it means that they are chasing them at a ratio of 1,20.

In other words, one chases 20. Thus, you would expect that hundred would chase two thousand (one hundred people multiplied by twenty).

However, they chase ten thousand! That is five times each fellow’s initial capacity. There yet another stronger dimension to prayers of agreement. Jesus talked about it thus: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20.

From what Jesus said in the passage above, if you have been asking Him for something just by yourself and He has been ignoring you, when you find someone to join you in a prayer of agreement, He will certainly answer.

When believers come together in one accord to pray, the heavens are opened. A very good example is what happened at the Upper room in Acts 2:1-2.

Another example is when the believers came together to pray for the release of Peter from prison. When believers are really in agreement, not that two of them are quarrelling, but that they are in real agreement, God moves.

Probably the best way to put the prayer of agreement into action is when you come together to pray with your spouse.

Since the covenant between you two is stronger than that which you have with anybody else, then your prayers of agreement would carry tremendous power.

ACTION POINT:

Find a fellow believer to pray with, preferably your spouse if you are married and ask God for something only He can do.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Acts 14-16

HYMN 16: O LORD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.

1. O Lord, 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 Your throne

Your saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Your arm alone,

And our defence is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting You are God,

To endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in Your sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

5. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,

With all their lives and cares,

Are carried downward by your flood,

And lost in foll’wing years.

6. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.

7. 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: THURSDAY 4TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:   VICTORY BY THE BLOOD.

 

MEMORISE:

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.                           Leviticus 17:11

READ:  Exodus 12:12-14

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

MESSAGE:

According to our Bible reading for today, when God afflicted the land of Egypt with the death of all firstborn males, the Israelites were saved by the sprinkling of blood. This was a glimpse of what was to come later when Jesus shed His blood for us. The blood of Jesus is not just any ordinary blood, it is blood in its purest form that never loses its potency from generation to generation. The Bible tells us that the blood of Jesus cleanses every sin. If you will experience forgiveness of your sins, it must be by the blood of Jesus.

“But in those sacrifices, there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”              Hebrews10:3-4

The blood of animals which used to be shed before Jesus' death on the cross only covered sins temporarily, but the blood of Jesus removes sins completely and restores fellowship between God and man. No wonder John prophetically lifted his voice when he saw Jesus in John 1:29:

“... and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Hebrews10:10 says:

“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

Once Jesus did it, it was done because His blood is pure and powerful. The first blood of the innocent shed on earth is that of Abel. The Bible says his blood went up to God and got His attention for vengeance. The blood of Jesus is not only innocent but pure and speaks mercy.

Hebrews 12:24 says:

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”

Finally, we will win and be raptured by the blood. Revelation 12:11 says:

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb...”

Don't fight the battles of life by your power; engage the power in the blood of Jesus

KEY POINT:

The devil had been defeated when Jesus shed His blood for our sins. Enter into victory today by the blood of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 11-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 29:  WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN?

1.       What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2.       For my pardon, this I see,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

For my cleansing this my plea,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

3.       Nothing can for sin atone,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Naught of good that I have done,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

4.       This is all my hope and peace,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

5.       Now by this I’ll overcome—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Now by this I’ll reach my home—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

6.       Glory! Glory! This I sing—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus,

All my praise for this I bring—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY 3RD MARCH 2021.

THEME:   GOD'S PARTNER.

 

MEMORISE:

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.    1 Corinthians 3:9

READ:  Ezekiel 37:1-10

1The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

MESSAGE:

God loves to partner with people for His work here on earth. When He wanted to deliver the people of Israel from the bondage of the Egyptians, He partnered with Moses. When He wanted to raise dry bones to become an army, He partnered with Prophet Ezekiel as we see in today's Bible reading. The major thing that qualifies you for partnership with God is holiness because He is a holy God and Amos 3:3 says two cannot walk together except they agree.

Beyond holiness however, one thing has to be clear from the beginning: He is the Senior Partner while you are the junior partner. Being the junior partner means that you have to forget whatever it is that you have achieved and place yourself wholly under His leadership.

Peter was a professional fisherman. He had been fishing since he was a youth. Jesus on the other hand was a carpenter. When Jesus wanted to perform the miracle of a boat-sinking catch and needed Peter to partner with Him, He told him to fish at a time when, from experience, Peter knew there would be little or no catch. Peter however put all his experience and qualifications aside to obey the Senior Partner and the result was a catch so great that it filled two boats.

One day, just after I became the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, the Lord said to me, " My son, you are almost forty years old and forty as you know is considered the age of wisdom". I said ''Yes, Lord". He went on to show-me two graphs. One looked like a valley, the other a mountain. He then told me to choose which of the two I wanted. I understood straightaway by the help of the Holy Spirit, so I chose the valley. He said "Very well, son, I am ready to become your partner so that from now, you will be climbing. But for that to happen, everything about you has to reduce to zero." Before that time, my name plate read 'Rev. Dr. E.A Adeboye, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.' and at the bottom was 'General Overseer'. God said to me "From now, you will be known simply as Pastor Adeboye. All the big titles have to go - the B.Scs., M.Sc., Ph.D. I am not interested in them."

If you want God to partner with you humbly take the position of a junior partner.  All your knowledge and achievements have to be put aside. Your obedience to your Senior Partner has to be absolute.

KEY POINT:

God is the Senior Partner; you are the junior partner. He instructs, you obey. He leads, you follow.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 9-10

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 12:  IN CHRIST ALONE.

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! - who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe.

This gift of love and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain:

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

 

No guilt in life, no fear in death,

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
