Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

 DATE:   FRIDAY 7TH MAY 2021.

  

THEME: WHAT YOU SOW, YOU WILL REAP!

  

MEMORISE:

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.                                                                                  2 Corinthians 9:6

 

 


READ:  2 Corinthians 9:6-8

 

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

 


MESSAGE:

Many years ago, I give seven elders of the church some neckties I had been wearing previously, assuring them that the items were anointed. To the glory of God, whenever they ministered with those neckties on, miracles happened. However, not long after, I observed a trend; I started getting gifts of neckties. I asked God "Can't these people give me something other than neckties?" God said "Son, if you sow ties, you will reap ties". I immediately got the message and decided to start sowing shoes. I gave out a good number of shoes, among which were some of my favorites to some pastors who wore similar sizes. I expected a harvest of new shoes the month after but there was none. When another month rolled by and I still didn't get anything, I went to God. It was then that the Lord taught me another lesson; He said "Son if you plant maize, you can harvest it within three months, but if you plant yam, you have to wait a Iittle longer." James5:7 says:

 "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain."


God said to me "The greater the quality of the seed sown, the more time you have to spend waiting for the harvest. The shoes you sowed are of greater value than the ties you gave out. Thus, you will have to wait a little longer. Once the harvest starts however, there would be no stopping it". Not long after, I began to get gifts of shoes - different sizes and colors. When the harvest eventually came in full, I was pleasantly surprised.

 

As a child of God, you must bear in mind that God is supreme, and He does as He pleases in alI situations and circumstances (Psalm 115:3). God may choose to act differently in terms of the nature, quantity and t1ming of individual's harvest. He can cause your harvest to come sooner or later than expected. What is certain however, is that if you have sown any seed, the harvest will come at God's appointed time. You will not miss your harvest, in the mighty name of Jesus.

  

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me not to be weary in well-doing and help me to be more fruitful every day of my life.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 27-28.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 HYMN 27: WE ARE NEVER NEVER WEARY OF THE GRAND OLD SONG

1. We are never, never weary of the grand old song;

Glory to God, Hallelujah;

We can sing it loud as ever, with our faith more strong;

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

 

Refrain:

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright, and our souls are on the wing;

We are going by and by to the palace of the King!

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

 

2. We are lost amid the rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinions to the hills above;

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

 

3. We are going to a palace that is built of gold;

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

Where the King in all His splendour we shall soon behold;

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

 

4. There we'll shout redeeming mercy in a glad, new song,

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

There we'll sing the praise of Jesus with the blood-washed throng,

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:   THURSDAY 6TH MAY 2021.

  

THEME: CONTACT WITH THE MIRACULOUS.

  

MEMORISE: 

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.                                                          

Psalm 23:1

 

 

 

READ:  I Kings 17:12-16

 

12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

 14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

 

 MESSAGE:

Since creation, God has continually been working on His creatures to achieve His purpose. Rather than create other men and women after Adam and Eve, Genesis 1:28 says God empowered the first family to multiply. God likes to use what He has created to meet the subsequent needs of His creatures.

  

In 1 Kings 17, God sent Elijah to the household of a widow who was preparing to eat her last meal, then die. There are a few lessons from this incident. First, her house was available for God to use as a point of contact for her household and the prophet. Your house will be a point of contact for the miraculous, in the mighty name of Jesus. One way of making your house a point of contact for the miraculous is by surrendering it for use as a House Fellowship center.  Peter did the same when Jesus asked him to surrender his boat for a preaching engagement (Luke 5:3). The boat later became a point of contact for the miraculous catch of a multitude of fish.

  

Secondly, God said "...I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. "The widow obeyed God's command despite the fact that it appeared difficult this was why she became a point of contact for the miraculous. Thirdly, she gave up the last handful of meal and little oil she had, and they became a point of contact through which she got her miracle. She was a sincere woman of faith. She seemed to be saying to herself, like David did in Psalm 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want (even though I surrendered my last meal to Him)". She exposed her last meal to the wonder-working God to work with and it became a Point of contact. This was the exact thing the lad in John 6:5-13 did, and he had a remnant of twelve basketsful on the loaves he lent Jesus Christ I pray that the Lord will feed you abundantly even in times of famine, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

Beloved, your first point of contact is your relationship with Jesus. How is it at the moment? He wants to have an intimate relationship with you in holiness. If you are still living in sin, accept Jesus as your Savior. If you are His child already, stay connected and you too will experience miracles.

  


ACTION POINT:

Determine to lend to God by giving sacrificially to His work this year. You will experience God's glory in its fullness.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 25-26.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 HYMN 28: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.  

1. 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!

 

2. 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.

 

3. 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.

 

4. 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:   WEDNESDAY 5TH MAY 2021.

  

THEME: GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU.

  

MEMORISE:

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.                                                                     

Proverbs 11:24

 

  

READ:  Luke 6:38

 

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

 

 

 MESSAGE:

Givers always get the attention of Heaven; I know this from the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:8-17. When you do what God wants, He will respond by meeting your needs supernaturally and promptly. The Shunammite woman took care of Elisha; she demonstrated an uncommon commitment to the man of God.  As a result, one day, the Spirit of God led Elisha to ask her what she needed. The man of God found out she was barren and prophesied into her life in 2 Kings 4:16-17:

 "....About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. And the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life."


Without fail, God's word through Elisha came to pass. Beloved, when you give to God sacrificially, the impossible will become possible in your life. I recall a brother who volunteered to drive me everywhere I went while on a ministerial assignment in Eastern Nigeria. When it was time for me to leave, I gave him some money in appreciation of his gesture, saying "Brother, kindly give this small gift to your children". His response shocked me. He shouted "Amen" continuously and prayerfully. I asked the Pastor-in¬ Charge of that Province why the brother was so enthusiastic about the gift I gave his children. I was told that although the brother was so rich, he didn't have any child. I said God would surprise him with a miracle. When I visited the city the following year, the same brother was at the airport to pick me up. However, this time, he surprised me with a gift. With tears of joy streaming down his face, he said ''This is a gift from my first son". He who had been childless for years became a proud father miraculously, simply by offering to drive God's servant in his car and believing the word of the Lord. His reproach was rolled, away. I pray that your next offering will bring a gift that money cannot buy into your life in Jesus' name. Begin to give sacrificially from today and the Lord will bless you beyond your wildest dreams.

 

 ACTION POINT:

 Look around you, find someone in need and bless him or her.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 23-24.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 23:  STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING. 

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.


Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

 

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

 

3. Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.

 

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

 

5. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

HYMN 4:  CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE.

 

1. Conquerors and overcomers now are we,

Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we've victory,

If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;

Nothing 'gainst his mighty pow'r can e'er prevail.

  

Refrain:

Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;

God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,

Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,

Yet who lives and reigns again,

More than conquerors are we,

More than conquerors are we.

  

2. In the name of Israel's God we'll onward press,

Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;

Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,

For salvation and for blood-bought victory.

  

3. Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n

Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav'n;

Over yonder he the victor's palm shall bear,

And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
