 Prayer Points on Today’s Open Heavens: Monday, March 29, 2021



PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

1.Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing promises in my life and destiny; and for answered prayers.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE:   MONDAY 29TH MARCH 2021.


THEME:  PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.


MEMORISE:


Pray without ceasing.                                                                                        

1 Thessalonians 5:17


READ:  James 5:16-18


16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.


17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.


18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.


MESSAGE:


Imagine a country that has nuclear weapons being threatened by another country without any, yet the former is the one trembling. That is what happens when situations of life cause Christians to tremble. You have he nuclear weapon of prayers at your disposal, so why fear the circumstances of this life? The Lord


Jesus Christ Himself said:

“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”                                                              John 14:14


He said in James 4:2-3 that you have not, because you ask not. Are you currently facing any


challenge? Get on your knees in prayer. Prayer is far more potent than many people take it to be. I have seen prayers bring about unimaginable miracles. Use it and use it judiciously.


When you pray without ceasing, before obstacles arise, you already have a bulldozer waiting to crush them. Anyone who wants to fulfil the plan of God for his or her life cannot be waiting for obstacles to arise before they pray; they pray without ceasing.


Several years ago, I recall telling Pastors to continue fasting and praying after we had just concluded a special programme in The Redeemed Christian Church of God. They obeyed even though it seemed unnecessary to them. Before long, a government official announced that they wanted to clear off the Redemption Camp. Since the obstacle met us praying, it got out of the way in no time.


Prayer is my lifestyle. I pray without ceasing, so when obstacles arise, there is a bulldozer waiting to clear them off.


You may ask "How can I pray without ceasing when I have to go to work and do other things during the


day? Beside won't I run out of prayer points?" The answer is simple- pray in tongues. When you pray in tongues all the time you don't need prayer points - the Holy Spirit puts the prayer


points in your mouth (Romans 8:26).


While you are walking, pray. When driving, pray. In the toilet, pray. Wherever you are, even if you cannot speak loudly, just keep mumbling the tongues under your breath.


Don't stop praying, your miracles are on the way.


KEY POINT:


Don't wait for obstacles before you pray; pray without ceasing.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 9-11


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 18:  PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOR.


Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

o   Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


Let me at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee,

Whom in Heav’n but Thee.

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.
