Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE:   SATURDAY 20TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:  A FRIEND INDEED?.

MEMORISE:

Aman that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

READ:  2 Kings 4:3-4

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

MESSAGE:

I know that the widow of one of the sons of the prophet, whose story is told in today's Bible reading, lived ma predominantly poor area. However, I also know, from their response to her request for empty vessels, that she was friendly with her neighbors. There are a few lessons you can learn from this story, as a believer.

First, you must acknowledge that you are living in the midst of opportunities. You don't always have to relocate for you to make progress. God will open your eyes and like that widow, you too will see the opportunities available around you in Jesus' name. You must also be friendly with people around you. Imagine what would have happened had the neighbors refused her request for containers because she had quarreled with them all. She would have had nothing with which to collect the object of her miracles. You must always be at peace with your neighbors, whether they are believers or not, without soiling your faith. Hebrews 12:14says:

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”

There are some people around you who are wealthy butt do not have salvation; reach out to them and watch God do wonders. I recall a young lady who was able to win a rich man to Christ. This man became so filled with the joy of salvation that he decided to do something for this sister; he got her a brand-new car in appreciation. What God did for that sister; He can do for you too. Just like the story in Matthew 17:27, there is a river in your neighborhood that harbors a particular fish; this fish has a golden coin in its belly. All you have to do is catch the fish, open its mouth and claim the gold coin that will enrich you for life. Evangelism brings material and eternal rewards.

As you go out today, be a good neighbor to everyone around you by offering them messages of love, hope, salvation and deliverance. Show the love of Christ by evangelizing to lost souls, then wait patiently for the bountiful harvest of your labor of love. It will certainly come.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to be at peace with   my neighbors, so that I can be an effective weapon for soul winning, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 1-3

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 28:  WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit,

Oh, what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged—

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

 

Are we weak and heavy-laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge—

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised

Thou wilt all our burdens bear;

May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright, unclouded,

There will be no need for prayer—

Rapture, praise, and endless worship

Will be our sweet portion there.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE:   FRIDAY 19TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:  THE SOULWINNER MAYBE INSULTED.

MEMORISE:

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.                                                                                                          Matthew 5:11

READ:  Matthew 5:11-12

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

MESSAGE:

To win souls for Christ, you need the Holy Spirit, and you would also have to develop a thick skin. Once in a while you will be insulted and even ridiculed for the sake of the gospel you are preaching.  You need to

ignore their insults and continue to go after the souls. If you let the insults get to you and fire back, the unbelievers will say "And you call yourself a Christian". If you decide to stop preaching because of the insults, you would have allowed the devil to win.

Many times, the people insulting you are even doing so on purpose. Several years ago, one of my daughters begged me to talk to her father (a former military governor) about Jesus Christ. When I visited him, he attacked me with insults. "You, look at yourself. Ph.D. in mathematics and you are going about carrying Jesus on your head. I know what you are doing. You think I don't know your tricks? Yo u are taking money from poor women and students so you can be rich. That is how you are using your own Mathematics. I also know about the miracles that they say are happening in your Church. We know the babalawos (witch doctors) people like you consult". He just went on and on and I kept smiling.

When he finally got born again years later and was giving his testimony, he said ' If my gun had been nearby that day, I would have shot you". I asked why he would have done that and he said “Because I was trying to make you angry and the harder I tried, the more you laughed and it was killing me".

When you are    going to preach to souls, leave all your degrees and achievements at home. When you get there, if they accept your message, great. If they insult you, pray for them and leave. Some people have names they have been tagged with in their office or school because they keep preaching the gospel. A lot of these unbelievers know that what you are saying is the truth, but they just want to make you angry.

Winning souls is warfare because the one who you are trying to snatch to snatch them from  is a strong man and  will not let the go easily. He will also attack you in several ways for trying to snatch souls from him. He will attack your ego to get you to stop but you must not. When you compare the rejoicing that will happen in heaven over that one  soul to the insults, your ego will not matter.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, as I go out to preach Your gospel, don't let anything discourage me, in mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossians 1-4

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 3:  BE GLAD IN THE, LORD AND REJOICE.

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.

 

Refrain:

Rejoice, rejoice,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice;

Rejoice, rejoice,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice.

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 18TH MARCH 2021.

THEME:  EVANGELIZE.

MEMORISE:

 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:                                                                                                                 

Matthew 28:19

READ:  Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

MESSAGE:

The charge to win souls is not a suggestion it is a command. In other words, it is not negotiable. Every true believer must carry a burning desire and burden to reach out to the unsaved. If you love Jesus you will 

preach His gospel to the lost because He does not desire the death of sinners, He wants every sinner saved (Ezekiel 18:23).

“And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.”                                                                                                                   Matthew 19:29

From the passage above, we see that God will generously reward everyone who participates in evangelism because they are in partnership with Him. Not everybody can be a full-time evangelist, but in your little corner, you are to win souls, as well as supporting and praying for the full-time evangelists risking their lives to obey God's mandate of preaching to the unsaved souls, visiting their families and encouraging them financially. The work of missions is dear to God's heart and ignoring it is ignoring Him.

“At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it  be sin unto thee.”                                                                                                                                 Deuteronomy 24:15

God said you should not owe anyone their wages and 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 says those who are involved with missions are His laborers. In other words, the moment you begin evangelizing, your name enters His payroll and believe me honestly, He will never owe you your wages. What exactly is your wage as an evangelist?

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.                                                                                                                   John 1 5 :1 6

The wage of an evangelist is a blank cheque from the richest being in the entire universe. If I were you, I would decide today to make soul winning my lifestyle.

ACTION POINT:

Pick up your phone and call somebody to tell them about Jesus Christ now and make this a habit.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 40

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 13:  I'VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD, HALLELUYAH.

1.       I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!

This message unto you I’ll give,

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”

Refrain:

“Look and live,” my brother, live,

Look to Jesus now, and live;

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”

2.       I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!

A message, O my friend, for you,

’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!

Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.

3.       Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!

Eternal life thy soul shall have,

If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!

Look to Jesus who alone can save.

 

4.       I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!

To Jesus when He made me whole—

’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!

I trusted and He saved my soul.
