Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY 19TH JUNE 2021


THEME: FRUITLESSNESS IS DISASTEROUS.


MEMORISE:


Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

John 15:2


READ:

Luke 13:6-7


6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.


7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?


MESSAGE:


Jesus told a parable about an unproductive, but well-nurtured fig tree in today’s Bible reading. The reaction of the person tending this tree, in Luke 13:7, is our concern in today’s devotional. The farmer in this parable had been expecting pleasant fruits based on his efforts; unfortunately, he got nothing. Like this farmer in Luke 3:9, John the Baptist told the Jewish religious leaders of his days:


And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.


Beloved, according to 1 Corinthians 3:9, we are God’s husbandry. In other words, God is the husbandman, we are the lively trees, nurtured since the day of our birth and particularly since we gave our lives to Christ. There is no doubt that we have been nourished graciously by the Almighty through His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The fact that you are alive to see this day is a pointer to how we have received both physical an spiritual nourishment. The question now is: Are you bearing fruits? The husbandman in our study today ordered that the unproductive fig tree be cut down. This is serious. May we not be cut down in Jesus’ name. The practical “Amen” to this prayer is to simply turn away from a life of fruitlessness.


If you are yet to be born again, Matthew 3:8 says you must first bring forth fruits meet for repentance, if you are already God’s child by His grace, Jesus is saying to you in John 15:4:


Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


You must give yourself completely to the Lordship of Jesus. you must go the ‘extra mile’ for Him and you will surely get your reward.


Apart from not being cut down and thrown into fire, Jesus promised in John 15:16 that the Father will grant all the requests you make in His name. Once you begin to bear fruit, the Lord will also continue to purge you from all impurities so that you may bear even more. Please mediate on Galatians 5:22-26.


PRAYER POINT:


Father, please destroy the power of doubt and intimidation in my life, in the name of Jesus.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

1 Samuel 25-27


AUTHOR:

PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 8

Ho, My Comrades! See The Signal


1. Ho! my comrades, see the signal,

Waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing,

Victory is 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 ones 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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:   FRIDAY 18TH JUNE 2021.


THEME:   HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

  

MEMORISE:

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew 5:6



READ:  John 4:31-34

31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.


32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.


33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?


34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.


MESSAGE: 

It is a common saying that salvation is free. While this is true because no one can pay for the salvation Jesus offers, the reality is that Jesus already paid for it on our behalf. Thus, we would be correct if we say salvation is not free after all. Also, it is not free because recipients too have a token to offer in obtaining eternal life, as we will see today.


In Matthew 13:45-46, Jesus describes how precious the Kingdom of God is, by likening it to what a rich man had to sell all his fortune for. In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus explained how important it is to gain entrance into the Kingdom of God by advising that we do away with anything that would disqualify us from gaining entry into God’s presence, even if it’s eye!


Today, some Christians are very careless with matters of Heaven. So many people trivialize sin and the harm it is capable of weaking on their souls. Revelations 21:8 contains a plain truth about the kingdom of God:

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”


Jesus calls us into free salvation but He adds in Matthew 11:29

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”


This is the cost of eternal life- meekness. This is why He said “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5). These no doubt are the cost of discipleship that we must pay to access the free salvation that gives eternal life. Beloved, if you desire eternal life, you must bear the cost even though Jesus has paid the supreme price.


It is sad that today, some leaders in the Church are encouraging people to be comfortable with sin. They explain away the reality of and teach grace with gross irresponsibility. You must do away with such people. Today is the day of salvation, now is the acceptable time. Make your way right with God now.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please put in my heart the hunger and thirst for righteousness.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 22-24.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 27:   TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE.

1. Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in endless praise.


2. Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3. Take my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.


4. Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.


5. Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:   THURSDAY 17TH JUNE 2021.


THEME:   PRAYER WORKS! 

  

MEMORISE:

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Joel 2:32


READ:  Psalm 30:1-3

1I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.


2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.


3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.



MESSAGE: 

Beloved, you must know that life is a battleground. Revelation 12:12 says that the devil has come in because he lost out in Heaven as a result of his rebellion against God.


Apart from the devil, even mankind has, from the beginning of time, been wicked to one another. The story of Cain and Abel is a classic example. No wonder Jeremiah 17:9 says:

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”


Should believers then run from the children of men to avoid being victims? No, Christians should instead look unto the word of God to find a way out. The way of escape is prayer. Our memory verse of today succinctly guides us in the direction of prayer so that we may be victors and not victims.


There is a lesson from our Bible reading today; it is that when we call upon the Lord for help, He will not withhold His everlasting arms from saving us. David called on God when he was distressed and his testimony was that God heard him (Psalm 3:4). Beloved, what are you waiting for? Why cant you call on the Lord today concerning the unpleasant situation you are passing through? I assure you that you will not be disappointed in Psalm 91:15:

“He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.”


The condition for the fulfilment of this promise, however, is in the preceding verse which says “….I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.”


The question is: Do you love God, do you know His name as Jesus, the Deliverer from sin? If yes, have you been delivered from your sin and become one of His own? If your answer is in the affirmative. I congratulate you. Go ahead and prayed like never before because today is the day you will receive express answers to your prayers. If not, ask Him to save you today.



PRAYER POINT:

Father, help me to always exercise my faith when I come to You in prayer, in the mighty name of Jesus.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 19-21.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 32:   SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER.


1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

that calls me from a world of care, 

and bids me at my Father's throne 

make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

my soul has often found relief, 

and oft escaped the tempter's snare 

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 



2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

the joys I feel, the bliss I share 

of those whose anxious spirits burn 

with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

where God my Savior shows his face, 

and gladly take my station there, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!



3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

thy wings shall my petition bear 

to him whose truth and faithfulness 

engage the waiting soul to bless. 

And since he bids me seek his face,
