Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:  MONDAY 19TH JULY 2021. 


THEME: ABIDE IN CHRIST. 

  

MEMORISE:

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.

John 15:4


READ: John 15:4-8.


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.


5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.


6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.


7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.


8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.


MESSAGE:

The meaning of the name Emmanuel is not real to many so-called children of God because they are not abiding in Christ. Therefore, they are caught in many horrible things in the course of their daily activities. This scripture reveals our part in the covenant of God being our Present Help in times of need (Psalm 46:1). We must remember that the Almighty God is forever faithful. Though the whole world may be unfaithful, He remains faithful to His word in the lives of His children.


What is our part in this bargain? We must abide in Him, living holy because He is holy. We should never take a break from living holy. It is important for all children of God who want to enjoy the presence of Emmanuel to abide in Him so that He would in turn abide in them.


We must fear God and keep His commandments. Many people today are taking the grace of God for granted, teaching that we can live in sin and grace would still abound (Romans 6:1). Mischievously they argue that we are in the dispensation of grace and thus can do whatever we like. They seem to be saying “Let us commit sin the more, so that we may make maximum use of God’s abundant grace!” They claim to believe in God yet do not see Him as the Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29).


Constantly being in the presence of God attracts multiple blessings. One of these is the opportunity to pray and receive instant answers to our prayers. Jesus said:

“ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” John 15:7-8


What if we fail to abide in Christ? God forbid, because it carries terrible consequences. Jesus Christ our Lord said in John 15:6:

“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”


Abiding in Christ is the ticket to peace and prosperity on earth, as well as eternity with God. Therefore, let us abide in Him because He is willing to grant us everlasting life.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to abide in You, in the mighty name of Jesus’.

HYMN 9:   HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.

Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!

God in three persons, blessed trinity!


2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,

casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,

which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.


3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,

though the eye of sinfulness thy glory may not see,

only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,

perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.


4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!

All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:  SUNDAY 18TH JULY 2021. 


THEME: NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST II. 

  

MEMORISE:


 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

2 Corinthians 6:17


READ: Isaiah 43:18-19.


18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.


19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.


MESSAGE: 

Everybody desires new things. As we expect new things to come our way, the Almighty God shall give them to us this season in Jesus’ name. God says He will do a new thing (Isaiah 43:19). To whom is He making this promise? To His people, of course. This leads all those who are expecting a new thing this season to ask themselves some fundamental questions: Am I a child of God? Does God know me? Am I among His elect? Am I among the redeemed of the Lord? What is the proof that I am redeemed of the Lord?


Our memory verse shows that, for you to be really redeemed of the Lord, you must adopt a new way of living.


One thing that can come upon a new creature in Christ is the movement from poverty to prosperity. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9: 

“ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”


Apostle Pau encourages us to be transformed rather than being confirmed to this world of sin (Romans 12:1-2). The truth of the matter is this: only those who are in Christ can experience the new things God promises us in His word:

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”


You need to change all old habits that are contrary to God’s word. New blessings cannot come upon an old life of sin. Matthew 9:16-17 says:

“No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”


I pray that you will experience new things in your life this season, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please let Your divine touch change me for the better. Let me experience new and pleasant things this season, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 15-16.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 7:   HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS.

1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


Refrain:

Are you washed in the blood,

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


2. Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?


4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

 DATE: SATURDAY 17TH JULY 2021.

 

 THEME: NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST I.

 

MEMORISE:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.                                                                                                      2 Corinthians 5:17

 

 READ:  Romans 7:18-25

 

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

 

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

 

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

 

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

 

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

 

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

 

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

 

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


MESSAGE:

          

Speaking about a new creature is an indication that there was an old one. A new life in Christ, however, is the new way of thinking and doing things in accordance with the word of God. Galatians 2:20 says:

 

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

 

 This simply means that when a person accepts Jesus as his or her Lord and Savior, such a person automatically becomes dead to the old life. Every link the old life is cut off. The old password simply refuses to work because the username has changed. This marks the end of the old life and the beginning of the new one in Jesus, as seen in today’s memory verse (2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

At this point everything about the life we lived before we met Jesus ceases. Every new creature in Christ submits to His lordship. From the point of rebirth, we begin to hunger for righteousness by pursuing purity, honesty, justice, love, humility, and service to humanity; we take on a new focus. The Bible makes it clear that becoming a Christian is more than adopting a new philosophy of life. It starts from a new mind- you immediately begin to think differently from the old ways to such an extent that your new behavior may seem strange, even to you.

 

Out of the blue, you suddenly have new standards, you begin to measure everything you do in line with the word of God. This new life in Christ comes with the assurance of abundant life- here on earth and even in heaven. You have the assurance of answered prayers, confidence in His love and mercy. As you read His word, your faith grows and intensifies to the point where you know that He will never leave nor forsake you.

 

 God is faithful and dependable; as a new creature in Jesus Christ, you can count on Him. Ignore the devil whenever he comes to remind you of your past. The Bible describes him as the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). Respond boldly by reminding him that old things are passed away and you are now a new creature in Christ.

 

PRAYER POINT:

 Father, as a new creature in Christ, please help me to always live according to Your word, in Jesus’ name.

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 13-14.

 

 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

 HYMN 2:  AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND.

 Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.


 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.


Through many dangers, toils, and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.


The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,

As long as life endures.


Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.


The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.


When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun.
