Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.


DATE: FRIDAY 2ND JULY, 2021.


THEME: OCCUPY UNTIL HE RETURNS.


MEMORISE:

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

(Luke 19:13)


READ: Joshua 13:1-6 (KJV)


1. Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.


2. From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite; five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites;


3. From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites;


4. And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.


5. All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel;


6. only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.


MESSAGE:

Jesus’ parable in the memory verse of today was directed to the disciples who He was preparing for the Great Commission in Mark 16:15-16. They were to occupy until His return.


Sometimes, we think the word ‘occupy’ means ‘to keep busy’ alone; it is more than that. We must not keep ourselves ‘busy’ doing nothing substantial.


To understand the import of Christ’s command in Luke 19:13, we must look at the Bible reading of today.


The Lord assessed the occupation of the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership as below His expectation. This should be food for thought for the Church today.


Joshua 13:1 says:


Now Joshua was old and sricken in years; and the Lord said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.


Joshua became old and did not have the required energy to lead the battle against the inhabitants of the land which God had given to the children of Israel.


In the same vein, when Jesus Christ said that we should go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature, He was actually saying that we should occupy the land so as to establish His reign on earth. It is beyond keeping ourselves busy just for the sake of it.


The questions now are “Are we really occupying while awaiting Jesus’ second coming?” “Can we say we are occupying both the geographical and spiritual landscape and atmosphere of the world?” “What can we show for all the millions we are spending on missions and evangelistic efforts?” “Have we paused our efforts to occupy the nooks and crannies of the kingdoms of this world like the disciples of old?” We must always remember that our mandate is to make disciples of all nations.


Beloved, we must not lose ground any more. As a matter of fact, we must recover the grounds we have lost.


We must summon courage to go after the enemy and recover the kingdoms that once belonged to the Church and the cathedrals that have been turned to dens of sin.


Christian nations that have become secular must be revived and brought back to the light of the gospel of the Son of the Living God. May the Lord help us.


ACTION POINT:

You must be active in spreading the gospel to the whole world and win back institutions and nations for the Lord our God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Nehemiah 13


HYMN 8: HO! MY COMRADES, SEE THE SIGNAL


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.”


See the mighty host advancing,

Satan leading on;

Mighty men around us falling,

Courage almost gone.


See the glorious banner waving,

Hear the trumpet blow;

In our Leader’s Name we triumph

Over every foe.


Fierce and long the battle rages,

But our help is near;

Onward comes our great commander,

Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Happy New Month!!!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:  THURSDAY 1ST JULY 2021. 


THEME: THE BREAD OF LIFE INDEED.

  

MEMORISE:


Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. JJohn 6:54


READ: Mark 14:22-24.


22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.


23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.


24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.


MESSAGE: 


Jesus offered His body to His disciples and by extension to us His present-day apostles. An invitation to a Holy Communion Service is an invitation to come and partake in the life of the Life-Giver. The body of Jesus was broken for us and so, when we partake in the Lord’s Super, we are eating Jesus’ body which is meat indeed (John 6:48-50). Whoever eats His body has eternal life.


The significance of the Lord’s Supper resides in its value. The value of a meal is determined by how mush you put into it. To give us the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ had to pay a great price by shedding His blood on the cross. The Lord cannot pay such a great price only for us to remain in the congregation of the dead. After so great a price has been paid for such a meal, we must reap the benefits of life to its fullest. Jesus said:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10


The Holy Communion meal positively affects our body, soul and spirit. When you partake in the life-giving meal comprising the broken body of Jesus Christ, value is added to your life. No matter how empty or meaningless life may have seemed, partaking of the Holy Communion meal gives you new life- ensuring that you can have a better life, go further and achieve greater things.


To access the benefits of Holy Communion Meal however, you must first accept and acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then begin to live by the commandments of the One who paid the supreme price for the salvation of your soul.


You must however be careful not to partake of this meal unworthily (1 Corinthians 11:27-29), as doing so would bring condemnation. This is why many are weak and sickly in the congregation. In order not to partake of the meal unworthy, you must do a self-examination and ensure that you do not have a lifestyle of sexual immorality and other sins.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please let the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ, avail for me in all areas of my life in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 11-12.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 29:   WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN.

1. What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


Refrain:

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


2. For my pardon, this I see,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

For my cleansing this my plea,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


3. Nothing can for sin atone,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Naught of good that I have done,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


4. This is all my hope and peace,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


5. Now by this I’ll overcome—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Now by this I’ll reach my home—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


6. Glory! Glory! This I sing—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus,

All my praise for this I bring—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:  WEDNESDAY 30TH JUNE 2021. 


THEME: MATERIAL PROSPERITY IS UNRELIABLE.

  

MEMORISE:

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36


READ: Revelation 3:14-19.


14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;


15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.


16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.


17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:


18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.


19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.


MESSAGE: 

Many times in the Scripture, Jesus warns believers against the lust of the world. As Christians, we are enjoined to set our affections on heavenly things so that we would not be drawn into covetousness. Our memory verse today poses a great question that every believer must reflect on.


Beloved, whet is your spiritual state today? In today’s Bible reading, our Lord accused the Church in Laodicea of being lukewarm; they were neither hot nor cold. What could have been carried away by their material prosperity. Unfortunately, the Church today is just like the one in Laodicea; services have now become jamborees and we have ministers who are not genuine. Jesus described the Church in revelation 3:17 as “…. wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” This tells us one thing: if not properly managed, material prosperity could be very dangerous.


It may be easier for a person to fast when he barely has something to eat, than when his or her kitchen is loaded with all sorts of food. I remember many years ago when my meal was one finger of plantain per day. In those days if I dared eat two in a day, I would have to fast the following day. It takes the grace of God and strong determination to fast when your storehouse is full of assorted food. In the same vein, it may not take a long time for a woman to dress up for Church service on Sunday morning when all she has is just two pairs of shoes. However, when she has to choose matching shoes among many pairs, she may end up struggling to get to church on time. If King Solomon could ask God to take away the vanity of riches from him, how much more should we (Proverbs 30:7-9).


God called on Adam after he had sold himself to Satan and the three main temptations in history- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. He responded by saying he was hiding because he realized that he was naked. He was right: riches without God is spiritual nakedness. Beloved, don’t be deceived. Only Jesus Christ can satisfy; nothing else can- not even the possession of the whole world.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please set me on fire for You so that I may remain hot even until Your second coming.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 11:   I NEED THEE 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.
