Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.


DATE: SUNDAY 25TH JULY, 2021.


THEME: LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.


MEMORIZE:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16


BIBLE READING:

DANIEL 6:25-28


25. Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.


26. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.


27. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.


28. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.


MESSAGE

God wants His children to shine as stars. From the Bible reading of today, you would see that Daniel shone and indeed outshone his colleagues.


If you haven’t done so already, you must surrender your life to God today, shun iniquity totally and begin to love righteousness if you also want to shine.


Psalms 75:6-7 says:


“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”


If you are a parent, then you have a crucial role to play in the lives of your children so that they can be stars (Proverbs 22:6).


You must give them proper training spiritually, intellectually and morally (Deuteronomy11:19).


I thank God always for my mother; she did a good job of raising me. She encouraged me to study even when other children were out playing.


I am what I am today by the grace of God and her efforts.


Teachers too must be involved – at school and in the Church. God bless my Mathematics teacher; he made a star in the subject out of me.


He usually challenged the few of us who showed an interest in the subject, to make a hundred percent in our assignments.


One day, we did and were very happy, hoping that we had finally impressed him. His reaction however kept us in check.


He said "Look at you, your mates are now undergraduates and here you are bragging because you scored a hundred percent in Ordinary Level Mathematics!" He was clearly telling us to strive harder for excellence.


You can also influence your shining through hard work (Proverbs 22:29).


Children should not waste their time playing when there are more profitable things to do. Breakthroughs do not come to lazy people.


Look at Daniel, for example: he was diligent even when he was a nobody- a slave.


This young man was eventually enlisted as a minister in Babylon (Daniel 1:1-21).


If you would shine, you must also strive to obtain the blessing of your parents (both biological and spiritual) by honouring them.


My mother would always pray for me thus, "when you call on one fellow, two hundred will respond."


Today, it is a reality in my life.


Your light will shine, in Jesus name.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to do what I should in order to shine for You from now, in Jesus' name.

DATE: SATURDAY 24TH JULY, 2021.


THEME: WHEN REVIVAL COMES (2).


MEMORISE:

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.”

(Psalm 51:10)


READ: Psalms 51:1-3 (KJV)


1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.


2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.


3. For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.


MESSAGE:

Today, I want you to take self-evaluation: is there anything you have done that could land you in hell? Today is the day of repentance and restoration.


A man of God once said “When genuine revival comes, everybody, including pastors, would have one or two things to repent of”.


Revival is not the working of miracle; it is an increased spiritual interest or renewal of a life of holiness, in complete obedience to the word of God.


The first step towards experiencing a revival is to realise that one has sinned or fallen short of God’s expectations, according to Romans 3:23.


Fervent prayers of repentance must therefore precede revival.


In Psalm 51 we read of David praying fervently for revival and restoration after he had sinned against God.


This is where many so-called born-again Christians, particularly those who consider themselves fairly old in the faith often miss it.


They are like that Pharisee who went to the temple to display his superiority over the publican in Luke 18:10-14.


If you ever realise that you have fallen short of God’s approval and favour, put aside your ego and humble yourself before the One who can forgive and forget.


The Bible says in (1 John 2:1-2):


My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.


What the Lord is telling us in this Scripture is that a child of God should be free of sin, according to (1 John 3:8-9) which says:


He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.


However, should anyone fall into sin, such a person must for quickly cry to God in remorse for revival and restoration.


The person must then have faith in the word of God and the blood of Jesus Christ for cleansing.


Plead the blood of Jesus over your life and make up your mind never to go back to sin.


ACTION POINT:

Check your life and see if there is anything you have done contrary to the word of God. Confess it to God and let Him restore you to your position as His child.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 72-74


HYMN 16: O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.


1. O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.


2. Under the shadow of Your throne

Your saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Your arm alone,

And our defence is sure.


3. Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting You are God,

To endless years the same.


4. A thousand ages in Your sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.


5. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,

With all their lives and cares,

Are carried downward by your flood,

And lost in foll’wing years.


6. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.


7. O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come:

Be Thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

DATE:  FRIDAY 23RD JULY 2021. 


THEME: WHEN REVIVAL COMES I. 

  

MEMORISE:


 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Psalm 85:6


READ: Psalm 85:4-7.

4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.


MESSAGE:

In Christianity, revival generally refers to increased spiritual fervency or renewal in the congregation of believers.


What happens when revival comes? According to our Bible reading of today, people turn away from their wickedness when revival comes. Salvation becomes a household commodity and the anger of God ceases to burn against people. One pleasant thing about God concerning sinners is that He would always warn them of the dangers of a sinful life so they may repent and escape His fiery judgement. The Bible says in Ezekiel 18:21 -23:

“But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?”


Another thing that happens when revival comes is that God answers the prayers of sinners- contrary to the general opinion that He does not. However, it is the prayer of repentance from a sinner that God honors before any other, according to 2 Chronicles 33:12-13. Revival brings about total restoration of both spiritual and physical wellbeing as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:14-15:

“ Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon…. And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.”


The true sign of revival is a genuine departure from an ungodly lifestyle, both publicly and even when we are in our closet. This is contrary to what we experience in the Church today when people claim to be born-again but still maintain their sinful lifestyles. Manasseh dies a penitent sinner and had peace. According to 2 Chronicles 33:18-20. Your beginning may not matter much but your end certainly will. You shall end well in  Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

If you are a sinner, pray for the salvation of your soul. If you are a backslider, pray for revival and complete restoration.

HYMN 13:   I’VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD, HALLELUYAH.

1. I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!

This message unto you I’ll give,

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”


Refrain:

“Look and live,” my brother, live,

Look to Jesus now, and live;

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”


2. I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!

A message, O my friend, for you,

’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!

Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.


3. Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!

Eternal life thy soul shall have,

If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!

Look to Jesus who alone can save.


4. I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!

To Jesus when He made me whole—

’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!

I trusted and He saved my soul.
