BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 8-11.

 

 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 11:  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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A.. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

 DATE:   MONDAY 7TH JUNE 2021.

  

THEME:  IDENTIFY YOUR ENEMIE II.

 

 MEMORISE:

 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.   Psalm 35:1

 

 

READ:  Luke 18:1-3

1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

 

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

 

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

 

 

MESSAGE:

You cannot afford to be gentle with your enemy- the devil because if you do not get him first, he Will get you. When the woman in the Bible reading of today prayed thus “avenge me of my adversary", I assume:   

 

1. That the adversary was not a stranger.

2. Since the adversary was known to her, it means the battle was not new.             

3. The adversary must have wronged her significantly. Once an adversary discovers your weakness, he will keep hitting you at the same spot.

4. When the widow said, "my adversary", it means the adversary was personal to her. It is sad that some people fight other people's enemies-leaving theirs unchallenged.

The fact that the woman cried to the judge shows that she knew she could not fight for herself; she needed a higher power. This is exactly what David knew and wrote in Psalms 35. Goliath was a mighty external enemy; however, it was easy for David to kill him. This is because David knew that the spiritual controls the physical even from the utterance of his adversary who said in 1 Samuel 17:43:

"...Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods."

Why did Goliath curse David by his gods and then go head to use his weapons against the lad? Beloved, unbelievers believe that no life can be taken if the thing they believe in does not allow it! It was as if Goliath was taking permission from his gods to take David's life. As for David, he saw Goliath as someone who tried to ridicule the Almighty God· In the end, David dealt with Goliath. Some people seem to be more benevolent than God, to their peril. When they are asked to pray to God to fight their battles for them, they keep mute, thinking it is wrong to say such prayers, whereas the man whom our memory verse described as after God's heart prayed when confronted with the destroyers of his life. While we are not permitted to take vengeance on our adversaries, we must act like the widow in today's Bible reading; she reported the case to a higher authority. God is the Righteous Judge and His judgement is the most accurate (Psalm 9:8). As you do, the Lord will fight your battle for you today in Jesus' name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

Cry to God; ask Him to fight on your behalf, against the enemies who want to destroy you.

 

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 4-7.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

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.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: SUNDAY 6TH JUNE, 2021.

THEME: IDENTIFY YOUR ENEMIES (1).

MEMORISE:

“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”

(1 John 5:18)

READ: Judges 16:16-21 (KJV)

16. And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

17. That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb; if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

18. And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

19. And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

20. And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

21. But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in there prison house.

MESSAGE:

There is an adage in my mother tongue that says “When God has revealed your enemies to you; they can no longer kill you”.

The belief is that once you identify your enemies you would be able to relate with them with caution such that there would be no loopholes through which they can harm you.

Today, many people become victims of the plots of their enemies because they cannot identify them.

David knew this and that was why he did not leave any stone unturned to identify his enemies throughout his lifetime.

1 Kings 2:5-6 says:

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Ismael, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace:

Beyond identifying his enemies however, David was always quick to go to God in prayer for deliverance.

It is wisdom to hand over someone you cannot handle to the one who can deal with them on your behalf.

There can be internal and external enemies; the former are more dangerous than the latter. This is because if the internal enemy does not open the door to the external one, you cannot get hurt.

As we see in our Bible reading for today, Samson never identified his internal enemy – lust, which led him to succumb to his external enemy – Delilah.

Sin is the greatest enemy of man and resides in everyone yet to be born again. Apostle Paul described this in Roman 7:18,23.

He however did not just lament about it, he dealt with it. Sin is the enemy within; it must be identified and dealt with decisively.

How do we deal with this dangerous enemy? The only way to deal with sin is to confess it, forsake it and ask Jesus to use His blood to cleanse you from it after accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour.

If you do, you will be forgiven and made free from all the consequences of sin.

PRAYER POINT: Prayerfully identify your enemies – both internal and external. Ask God to deal with them on your behalf.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 1-3

HYMN 8: HO! MY COMRADES, SEE THE SIGNAL.

1. Ho! my comrades! see the signal,

Waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing,

Victory in nigh!

 REFRAIN:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”

Jesus signals still,

Wave the answer back to heaven,

“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing,

Satan leading on;

Mighty men around us falling,

Courage almost gone.

3. See the glorious banner waving,

Hear the trumpet blow;

In our Leader’s Name we triumph

Over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages,

But our help is near;

Onward comes our great commander,

Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:   SATURDAY 5TH JUNE 2021.

  

THEME:  DIVINE SECURITY II.

  

MEMORISE:

 

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.       

Psalm 91:3

 

 

READ:  Mark 16:17-18

 

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

 

MESSAGE:

When God says surely, He means surely. When He says it will be well with you, nobody can change it. When He says surely, by His stripes you are healed, nobody can change it. He says surely, everything you do shall prosper and nobody can change this fact. This assurance can also be yours provided you dwell in the secret place of the Most High and you abide under His shadow. However, if you go away from Jesus, it would be an entirely different matter.

  

Beloved, there are enemies prowling around unsuspecting children of God and Satan is their 'commander'. According to 1 Chronicles 21:1:

 "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."

 

While David was the one who conducted the actual census, it was Satan however that stood against Israel (1 Chronicles 21:1). Satan will always use someone against you. In our Bible reading of today, Jesus assures us of victory against the attacks of the enemies. Isn't it interesting that demons by which Satan maims, destroys and kills are the same spirits that Jesus has given us the authority to cast out (Luke 9:1)? This is why it is a sheer waste of time to dialogue with demons. You should exercise your authority completely without limits. In the same vein, our Lord has given us power to cure all disease. No longer should you live at the mercy of the devil. 1 John 5:14 says:                                              ·

"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:"

Some years ago, I experienced a spiritual attack that resulted in excessive stooling and vomiting. I cried unto the Lord, and He healed me. He told me that He had wanted me to have an idea of the unseen battles He had been fighting on my behalf. He had spiritually secured me in His hands. The good news is that even if you fall into the trap of the devil, God can deliver you from any attack of the enemy. The Lord will deliver you from all forms of disease and demonic possession in the mighty name of Jesus. Just call upon Him today.

 

 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please deliver me from the snare of the fowler and protect me from the noisome pestilence in the mighty name of Jesus.
