DATE:   FRIDAY 16TH APRIL 2021.

  

THEME: DIVINE INTERVENTION.

  

MEMORISE:

And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.

Exodus 3:21

 

READ: Exodus 3:7-8

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

 

8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

 


MESSAGE:

Divine intervention simply means the participation of God in any matter. When the Almighty God gets involved in your affairs, you will be wise and powerful. Nothing will be impossible to you and your challenges will become history.  We see this from the Scripture reading of today; the   moment God decided to get involved in the afflictions of the children of Israel, things began to change. The first thing God did was to raise a deliverer for them.  In the name that is above every other name, God will send help to you this season.

  

Moses, who God decided to send to deliver the children of Israel, was however not willing because he felt unworthy. Not only did the Lord convince him, He also equipped him. It is one thing to locate a helper and another for him or her to be willing to render the help. However, you are covered if God Himself sends you help. He says in Exodus 3:12:      

 "...Certainly, I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

 

Several years ago, I was travelling to llorin in Nigeria, when I saw a young girl crying profusely. I told my driver to pull up beside her and I asked what happened. She said she had lost some money and unless she found it, her mother would kill her. I asked how much the money was and she said, "fifty kobo". I handed the said amount to her and she went away rejoicing. Beloved, humans may help you and you rejoice, but when God gets involved in your situation, He will wipe tears away from your eyes completely. God will get involved in your situation today and things will turn around for good in Jesus' name.

 

For God to get involved in your situation however, you must have a relationship with Him. The reason God was involved in the situation of the Israelites is that He already established a relationship with their patriarchs -Abraham, Isaac and Israel (Exodus 3:6). I therefore encourage you to give your life to Christ now if you haven't and to continue in His will 1f you have. Only then would He continually be involved in your situation.

 

ACTION POINT:

Cry to God Almighty now. Ask Him to get involved in your situation today.

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 30-31.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 21:  ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME.

 

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy wounded side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save from wrath and make me pure.

 

2. Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All for sin could not atone;

Thou must save, and Thou alone.

 

3. Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress;

Helpless, look to Thee for grace;

Foul, I to the fountain fly;

Wash me, Savior, or I die.

 

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,

When my eyes shall close in death,

When I rise to worlds unknown,

And behold Thee on Thy throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

DATE: THURSDAY 15TH APRIL 2021


THEME: DIVINE FAVOUR: WHAT IT DOES


MEMORISE:


For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalm 5:12


READ:

Esther 5:1-3


1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.


2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.


3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.


MESSAGE:


Queen Esther found favour in the sight of her husband - the king, and thus was promised blessings up to one-half of the kingdom, as we see in the Bible reading of today. There are lots of lessons in this passage. One is that the king saw Esther. In 1 Samuel 16:11-13, favour located David while he was watching over the flock of his father. Favour also found the mad man of Gadara in the graveyard and he was healed (Mark 5:1-15). God's blessings can locate you anywhere. A sister who had been looking for a husband went to a funeral. At the same ceremony, there was another brother who had been searching for a wife. The brother saw her looking very radiant and concluded that if she could be that beautiful in mourning clothes, she would be even more so when in high spirits. This marked the beginning of a courtship that led to marriage.


The king did not just see Esther, he focused on her. When your day of favour comes, God will not just glance at you, He will focus on you. The day favour beamed on the sick man at Bethesda, Jesus located him for healing. A man who was jobless despite his two doctoral degrees, received favour after he gave his life to Christ and got multiple job offers. I recall the story of a mother who used diabolical means to prevent her daughter from getting married because she didn't want to be neglected. I prayed with the daughter and she got a suitor within one week. Whatever is blocking the view of those who should favour you shall be removed today in Jesus' name.


Going into the king's chamber without an invitation was a very dangerous thing to do, as we see in Esther 4:11. Thus, we can say Esther embarked on a suicide mission when she went into the king's presence uninvited. However, she found favour: what could have been her last visit to the king became the beginning of a new life not only for her but for the entire Jewish community in Shushan. Favour shall locate you this season in Jesus' name. The only obstacle to divine favour is unrighteousness. Psalm 5:12 says:


For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.


This is why I am appealing to you to surrender your life to Jesus our Saviour. When you do, begin to live a life that is acceptable to God, and then you too would enjoy divine favour.


PRAYER POINT:


Father, please let Your favour locate me for breakthroughs today, in the mighty name of Jesus.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Numbers 28-29


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 16

O GOD 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 defense 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 op’ning day.


7. Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come;

O be our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE:   WEDNESDAY 14TH APRIL 2021.

 

 THEME: IN HIS PRESENCE.

 

 MEMORISE:

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 16:11

 

READ:  Isaiah 40:28-31

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.


29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.


30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:


31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


MESSAGE:


Choosing to be in God's presence is a thing of wisdom because it guarantees joy and everlasting satisfaction (Psalm 16:11). Therefore, if you are wise, you will always seek to be in His presence. No wonder the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 91:1:

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

 

Only sin can drive a fellow from the presence of God. It was after the fall that Adam and Eve had to run from God's presence (Genesis 3:8). Jonah also ran from God's presence and ended up in the belly of the fish simply because of disobedience (Jonah 1:3,15,17). When a man runs from the presence of the Lord, he is heading for destruction. 

 

Our Scripture reading for today contains many miracles that happened in the presence of the Lord. When you dwell in God's presence, you will never be tired because His attributes rub off on you (Isaiah 40:28-29}. God is never tired, and He is ready to share His strength with those who come into His presence. Elijah and Elisha knew this secret and thus experienced miracles in His presence. In God's presence, Elijah enjoyed a divinely prepared meal, and he became so strong and swift that not only did he overpower four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, but he also outran the chariot of King Ahab, according to 1 Kings 18. Being in God's presence also brings divine boldness. Elijah displayed this in 1 Kings 18:15.

  

As children of God, you must constantly be in God's presence. Even our Lord Jesus Christ did so. He never compromised the presence of the Father for other activities. Matthew 14:23 and Luke 6:12 detail how Jesus constantly withdrew to the mountain side to commune with His Father. The early Church also cherished God's presence whenever they gathered, there were always earth-shaking incidents (Acts2:46). The early disciples were with Jesus for just three and a half years, yet the world knew they had been with Him (Acts 4:13).

 

The more you stay in God's presence, the more you look and behave like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18).

 

 

ACTION POINT:


Draw an action plan that will enable you to constantly have effective fellowship with God throughout this year.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 9-13.

 

 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 HYMN 11:  I NEED EVERY HOUR

 

1. I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

 

Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Every hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.


2. I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r when Thou art nigh.

 

3. I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.

 

4. I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.

 

5. I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;

Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.
