Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

 DATE:   TUESDAY 18TH MAY 2021.

 

 THEME: HAVE FAITH, NOT FEAR.

 

 MEMORISE:

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.    

2 Timothy 1:7

 

 

 

READ:  Psalm 91:5-6

 

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

 

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

 

MESSAGE:

If you have given your life to Jesus, then you should have nothing to fear because you will begin to dwell in the secret place of the Most High where you are assured of His protection. There was no fear in man util he allowed the devil in. It was when the devil convinced Adam and Eve to disobey God that fear came in. After Adam and Eve sinned, they had to hide themselves when they heard God coming. When God called, Adam said he heard God's voice and he was afraid (Genesis 3:10).

Fear is the opposite of faith. While faith means that you believe God, fear means that you believe the devil. In other words, if you do not have faith, then you have fear. Fear belongs to the children of the devil. However, once you cross from the side of the devil to the side of God, there will be no more fear. This is because fear comes from darkness and since Jesus is Light, He will dispel all forms of darkness. When Jesus comes into your life, rather than fear, He gives you the Spirit of love, power joy and of a sound mind. Romans 8:14-15 says:

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

 

Children of God are guided by the Holy Spirit. Jesus has promised to give all His children the power of the Holy Ghost so as not to be afraid. If you are a child of God, you have no business with fear. From time immemorial, God has always put a dividing line between those who serve Him wholeheartedly and those who refuse to. He always rewards everyone according to their works. If you are righteous, He rewards you so that you can remain so, if you are living in sin, He arranges for you to forsake wickedness and join the righteous family of God. Psalm 121:7says:

"The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul."

With all these wonderful promises, you have no cause to fear as God's child. Whatever is causing you to panic, the Lord will destroy it in your life and family in Jesus’ name. Do not be afraid, God is your refuge and the Present Help in the time of need (Psalm 46:1).

 

 ACTION POINT:

Check your life and prayerfully do away with whatever bring fear, panic and anxiety.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 8-9.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

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

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Refrain:

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.

 

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:   MONDAY 17TH MAY 2021.

  

THEME: HE WILL TAKE YOU THERE!

  

MEMORISE:

 

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.     

Revelation 3:21

 

 

 

READ:  John 14:1-3

1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

 

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

  

MESSAGE:

The ultimate goal of all genuine Christians is to make Heaven; this 1s why Jesus died for mankind. Jesus said of Himself in Luke 19:10:

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

  

Only overcomers can make it to Heaven. How then can you overcome? First, you must overcome all the evil thoughts in your heart. Our Lord Jesus said in Revelation 3:20:

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

 

 Proverbs 23:26 also says "My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways."

 

Beloved, when we allow Jesus Christ to come into our hearts, He will give us victory over all the thoughts that defile us and make us candidates of hell. You' must all ow Jesus into your heart because naturally, the heart of man is desperately wicked (Jeremiah 1 7:9).

  

What exactly is in the heart that makes it wicked? Mark 7:21-23 provides the answer to this question:

"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

 

It is only those who overcome the above listed sins who would get the power to enter into Heavenly bliss. You cannot do it by yourself; this is why you need Jesus, who can give you the power to live above sin. The power that overcomes sin is the power we need to make Heaven and Jesus is ready to give you if you are willing to forsake Satan sin and every form of wickedness. You must make conscious efforts to flee all appearances of evil like Joseph in Pot1phar's house. Beginning from now, your struggles with sin are over in Jesus' name.

  

The power of "Go and sin no more" as was given by Jesus to the woman caught in the act of adultery shall be yours today and you shall make Heaven at last, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me the power to overcome sin today. Make me a candidate of heavenly bliss, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 6-7.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 HYMN 4: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE.  

1. When the hosts of Israel, led by God,

Round the walls of Jericho softly trod,

Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu’ror’s tread,

By faith they saw the victory ahead.

Refrain:

Victory ahead! Victory ahead!

Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead;

Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu’ror’s tread,

By faith I see the victory ahead!

 

2. David with a shepherd’s sling and five stones,

Met the giant on the field all alone,

Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,

By faith he saw the victory ahead.

 

3. Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day,

Then unto the lion’s den led the way,

Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,

By faith he saw the victory ahead.

 

4. Often with the carnal mind I was tried,

Asking for deliverance oft I cried,

Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I was dead,

By faith I saw the victory ahead.

 

5. When like those who’ve gone before to that land,

By death’s river cold and dark I shall stand;

Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,

By faith I see the victory ahead.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: SUNDAY 16TH MAY, 2021.

THEME: YOU CAN BE RICH AND RIGHTEOUS.

MEMORISE:

“Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.”

(Proverbs 8:18)

READ: Malachi 3:10-12 (KJV)

10. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

11. Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

12. The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.

MESSAGE:

Many children of God have misconceptions about prosperity.

Some think that being a Christian means that they have to be poor, forgetting that God Himself said in Proverbs 8:18:

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

Imagine God, our Father having the possession of riches and righteousness. This revelation counters the notion that you cannot be righteous and rich at the same time.

Today, decree that the power to get wealth shall come upon you in Jesus’ name.

Those people who think that wealth is alien to God run after the devil and he deceives them into thinking that he has wealth. The devil tried this with Jesus in Luke 4:6-7, but our Saviour knows better.

The truth is that only God can give you power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). He blessed Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in their generations as we see in Genesis 22:15-18; 26:12-14; 32:9-10. When Jabez cried unto God in (1 Chronicles 4:10), God blessed him greatly.

Peter, the struggling fisherman, encountered the King of glory at the lake of Gennesaret, and suddenly he became prosperous, looking for additional hands to help him gather his bountiful harvest (Luke 5:4-9). This same God will give you power to get wealth today in Jesus’ name.

The question now is “How do we get this power to become wealthy?” It is simple.

Always worship the Lord with fear and trembling. Commit to meditating on His word (Joshua 1:8, Deuteronomy 28:1). You must also not forget to be like Him in your dedication to service.

God would only give His riches and honour to diligent people; you must never be lazy or idle.

Furthermore, you must keep His commandments in the area of tithe, offering and first-fruits, remembering the needy, the widow and the orphans (Proverbs 19:17).

Finally, you must live and spend your income prudently because Proverbs 21:17 says “He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:…”

We shall be wise, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me the power to get wealth and I will become a channel of blessing to the world.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Mark 4-5

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE.

HYMN 25: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.

There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Saviour above.

REFRAIN:

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy drops ’round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing:

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, Oh Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come and now honour Thy Word.

There shall be showers of blessing;

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now, as to God, we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: SATURDAY 15TH MAY, 2021.

THEME: YOU MUST LEAVE AND CLEAVE!

MEMORISE:

“….For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?”

(Matthew 19:5)

READ: Ephesians 5:25-31 (KJV)

25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church;

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

MESSAGE:

Marriage is a good thing when God is in it.

The Bible says in Proverbs 18:22:

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

This Scripture dismisses the wrong notion that marriage is an entanglement or a necessary evil. Our memory verse today reveals that the man must leave his parents and cleave to his wife.

However, it takes love, the God-type of love for a man to totally leave his parents and cleave to his wife.

For marriage to work, the man must strictly adhere to this twin-command – leaving (his parents) and cleaving (to his wife).

This love we are talking about today is unconditional – it is not predicated on whether the woman is good or bad. The moment you say “I do”, you are under obligation to love your wife as yourself according to our Bible reading of today which says in part:

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:25)

“But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.”

(1 Corinthians 7:32-33)

The truth in the above passage is that a man is under obligation to cater to the joy and well-being of his wife.

Some so-called Christians are so careless about their marriage that they neglect the divine mandate of caring for the family – leaving the wife and children disillusioned about the faith.

To love is to care and to care encompasses the provision of basic amenities for the home.

The Bible says in James 2:18:

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

In the same way, men must show their love in practical terms to such an extent that there will be no doubt that they love their wives.

Note that the Bible didn’t say abandon your family and friends, but you are to leave them and cleave to your wife in a lifelong union built on the sure foundation of the word of God.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me the grace to love my spouse unconditionally.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Mark 1-3

HYMN 12: IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! Who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No gift in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the love of Christ I’ll stand.
