Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE:   SUNDAY 28TH MARCH 2021.


THEME:  REJOICE EVERMORE.


MEMORISE:


Rejoice evermore.                                                                                                        

1 Thessalonians 5:16


READ:  Nehemiah 8:9-10


9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.


10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.


MESSAGE:


Discouragement is one major weapon the devil uses to ruin people's destinies. A fellow that is discouraged cannot have the strength to move on. Our memory verse for today says you should rejoice forever because when you let sadness into your life, it will hinder the achievement of your goals in life. The joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and you will need it in order to fulfil destiny.


Elijah was a great man with a great destiny to fulfil. He was going very strong until the day discouragement set in. He became so discouraged that he asked God to take his life (1 Kings19 :4). After he made that request, God sent an angel to feed him. Then the Bible says:


“And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee.”                                                       1 Kings1 9:7


The journey had become too tough for Elijah because he had become discouraged. He had lost his joy. May you never lose your joy in Jesus' name.


In our Bible reading for today, we see Nehemiah encouraging the people after he saw them weeping because he knew that without the strength that comes from the joy of the Lord, they would not be able to build the wall.


A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.                        Proverbs 17:22


You may have many worries and problems that make it difficult for you to rejoice, but the Bible says that a broken spirit will dry your bones. Being worried cannot add a cubit to your stature (Matthew 6:27), neither can it solve any problem; it can only dry your bones.


A fellow who is always gloomy is merely giving negative energy tohis or her body system and will often fall sick, but a person who rejoices always will live a long and healthy life.


Choose the joy of the Lord today and receive strength for the Journey ahead.



ACTION POINT:


Cast all your cares on Jesus today and rejoice, singing and dancing as you go through the day.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 7-8


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.

 

o   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:   SATURDAY 27TH MARCH 2021.


THEME:  EVIL FOR EVIL SHOW LOVE ALWAYS.


MEMORISE:


See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.                                                                                         1 Thessalonians 5:15


READ:  Matthew 5:43-47


43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.


44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.


46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?


47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?


MESSAGE:


When you find a professing Christian, who pays evil with evil, you have found a pretender. Real children 

of God radiate love, even to the enemies. In fact, Jesus said that is how you would know the difference between a child of God and an unbeliever.


For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Matthew 5:46-47


Forgive everyone who hurts you, be it your spouse colleague, boss, pastor or children. Never pay evil with eviI; forgive.

God says you should not repay evil with evil because He is concerned about the state of your heart.


Matthew 7:17-18 says only evil trees can produce evil fruits while good trees produce only good fruits. When you repay evil with evil, you are bearing evil fruits and that means the devil now has a place in you. Since light and darkness cannot co-exist, then it means the lord has no place in you anymore. God forbid.


So, how should a Christian respond to someone who had one evil to him or her?




“If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.”                     Proverbs25:21-22


The Bible passage quoted above says you should respond to evil by showing love. The more love you show the person hurting you, the more trouble you are causing the person if he or she doesn't change for good. The Bible say you are heaping coals of fire on such a person's head. On the other hand, God will reward you for showing love even to your enemies. Just as a part of our topic for today was cancelled, cancel any idea of repaying evil with evil from your mmd permanently.

Always show love.

 

PRAYER POINT:


Father, give me the grace to show love even to my enemies in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 5-6


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 26TH MARCH 2021.


THEME:  TRICKS; NOT POWER.


MEMORISE:


And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.                                                                                                                     Colossians 2:15


READ:  Hebrews 2:14-15


14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;


15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.


 MESSAGE:


“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.”                Psalm 62:11


The above passage says that power belongs to God, not the devil, many people erroneously believe that the devil is powerful. There is no greater lie than that Jesus Christ said:


“... All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”                                                 Matthew 28:18


If all power belongs to Jesus, then no power is le ft for the devil; he is completely powerless. What the Bible says that we should be aware of are the wiles and devices of the devil (Ephesians 6:11, 2 Corinthians 2:11).  He has no power at all, he is merely a trickster.


The devil is cunning, and this makes him dangerous so you must be careful not to fall into his trap.


You must however not ascribe to the devil what he does not possess; all power belongs to my Daddy,


The Almighty God.


Like any good magician, the devil has mastered how to use certain elements, including human psychology, to make his tricks look real. He knows how to use different elements to make things up in order to look powerful, but he has no power. The reason the devil does things to deceive people is so that they can fear him. He will begin to whisper different things just to plant fear in your heart because he knows that the moment fear enters a person, faith is gone, and you need faith to move mountains.


If you are a friend of God, constantly seated with Him, you will be above all the tricks of the devil. It is only those who still live in sin that can be afraid of His tricks.


Ephesians1:21 says that Jesus is:


“Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:


Always remember all power belongs to Jesus. All the devil has are mere tricks.


KEY POINT:


Jesus has all the power; the devil only has tricks. Don't be fooled.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 3-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 7:  Have You Been To Jesus


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?


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?

 

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?


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!
