Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY 13TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:   EXAMINE YOUR THOUGHTS.

 

MEMORISE:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.                                                                                                                            

2 Corinthians 5:17                                                                                  

READ:  Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

MESSAGE:

When Jesus says that by their fruits you shall know them, I want you to consider that passage carefully.

What produces fruit on a tree 1s inside it, not outside. It is what is inside the tree that will ultimately

produce the fruition its outside. That is why Matthew 12:34 says:

o generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Jesus also said it is not what goes into the mouth h t defiles. a man but what comes out of it (Matthew 15:11). This is because what comes out is a reflection of what is inside. When the tree is full inside then it will begin to produce fruits. Ask yourself "What kind of thoughts do I think? Are they still similar to the thoughts I had before I became born again? Are my thoughts now more focused on heavenly things or still fixed on earthly concerns?"

“ If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”                                                            Colossians 3:1-2

If you are truly born again, your thoughts will be focused on things above, not on earthly things. Ask yourself "Am I constantly thinking about how to please God or am I thinking of how to please men and myself?"

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.                                    1 Corinthians 11:31

Be honest with yourself so that you can start bearing fruits of repentance before it is too late. Do you still allow immoral thoughts to fill your heart? The Pastor cannot discover the thoughts of your mind, but God sees them. David said in Psalm51 :6:

“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:...”

When it was clear to him that his mind had been corrupted, David cried :

            "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."                 Psalm51:10

The kind of thoughts you permit in your heart shows who you really are (Proverbs 23:7).

What fills your heart?

PRAYER POINT:

Pray the same prayer that David prayed In Psalm 51: 10. Ask God to create in you a clean heart.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 23-25

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. Thanks

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: FRIDAY 12TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:   EXAMINE YOURSELF.

 

MEMORISE:

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.                         

1 Corinthians 10:12

READ:  John 9:39-41

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

MESSAGE:

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates?                                          2 Corinthians 13:5

Many people only consider Matthew 7:16-20 in relation to others. They assess the fruits others are producing but forget to assess theirs. Salvation is on an individual basis and not congregational. You need to ask yourself some serious questions to know if you are on your way to heaven or hell. Don't be surprised to know that many people who are in the Church, fervent and tongue-speaking will go to hell. In fact, Matthew 7:22-23 says some who have been performing miracles will end up in hell. Thus, you really need to examine yourself to be sure where you are headed. Ask yourself: Am I saved? Am I born again? Note that I am not telling you to ask yourself "Do I go to Church? Do people say I am born again? Am I a Pastor?" The real 1 question is "Am I saved? Are the fruits I am producing the kind that should be produced by someone who is saved?" The word of God says it clearly: except you are born again, t you shall not see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

We now live in a world where there are all manner of people calling themselves born-again Christians. There are 'born-again' robbers. They lift up 'holy' hands on Sunday, but on Monday morning, they use those hands to doctor figures in the office. Examine yourself: are you one of ·, them? There are 'born-again' harlots, very fervent in the Church, but behind closed doors, they sleep with people who are not their spouses and engage in all other sorts of sexual immorality. Examine yourself. There are 'born­ again' liars; they know how to brandish lies so well that by the time they are done you may not even be able to differentiate between the truth and lies. Examine yourself.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.                                 Philippians 2:1 2

Carry out a sincere examination on yourself with fear and trembling- fear for the destruction that awaits anyone who is not truly saved and trembling at imagining yourself standing before God on judgement day.

REFLECTION:

Examine yourself: are you truly born again? Or are you Just putting up appearances?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 20-22

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 7:  HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS.

1.       Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?

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 Savior’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?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

And be 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,

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:   BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS II.

 

MEMORISE:

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.                                            

2 Peter 2:2

READ:  2 Peter2:1-3

1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

MESSAGE:

False prophets don't talk about holiness. They don't encourage you to grow spiritually. They make no reference to your lifestyle at all, they couldn't care less whether you are even born again or not. They just start 'prophesying' about earthly things. That is not the way of the Lord.

God's priority is your soul. He said in Matthew 6:33 that you must seek first His righteousness and then all the earthly riches will follow. He says there is no profit in it at all if you gain the whole world and lose your soul (Matthew 16:26). He says He wishes above all things that you prosper, but that the prosperity must come even as your soul prospers (3 John 2). If you know yourself that you have not been living holy and someone comes to you prophesying, without mentioning the need for you to live a consecrated life, that is a false prophet. The first message God will send a real prophet to deliver is that of holiness because that is His priority. Some false prophets even discourage their victims from growing spiritually by telling them that they don't need to fast and pray; alI they need to do, is just give them some money and they will do the praying on their behalf. You should know that such a fellow cannot be from God. God who says you should pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16) cannot now tell you to hand over the responsibility of praying to a 'contractor'.

“I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.”                                                           Jeremiah 23:14

Check the prophet's lifestyle. Does he live a life of holiness? Does he tell lies or encourage you to do so? Some prophets say they want to wash away some evils from the body of a woman. Imagine that- they want to rub their hands on the naked body of a woman!

 

Lastly, pride is another major fruit of false prophets. They ascribe so much glory to themselves as though they were God. A true prophet will always ascribe glory to God because he knows that God is his only source.

 

KEY POINT:

If the prophet is not living holy, he is a false prophet.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 29-31

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 14:  JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL.
