Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: SATURDAY 7TH AUGUST 2021. 

THEME: PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. 

  

MEMORISE:

And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

Luke 22:40

READ: Luke 18:1-8

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.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

MESSAGE:

The statement “Pray without ceasing” in 1 Thessalonian 5:17 is not a piece of advice or suggestion. The importance of this statement is revealed in the words of Jesus Christ to His disciples in our memory verse of today. Luke 22:45-46 says further: 

“And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.”

The arm of flesh will always fail according to Jeremiah 17:5. This brings to mind the common saying “A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.” A life of prayer is indeed a blessed one.

In the story of the widow in our text of today, there are many lessons we can learn. One, the judge avenged the widow of her enemies simply because, by her prayer, she compelled him to. Two, this woman did not change her prayer- she was consistent in her request. Many people gamble with their prayer lives, either not knowing or not asking for the specific things they need. They are unstable like the wave of the sea being driven with the wind and tossed (James 1:6). James 1:7-8 further says:

“For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

Such people don’t even know who to give the glory to if or when they get their miracle. They have alternatives to the miracle-working power of the Almighty, hence, they pray to God, but also seek the assistance of the arm of flesh. The result of people’s reliance on the arm of flesh is that they fail to ask earnestly and do not have.

“ Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” James 4:2

Our Lord Jesus Christ in today’s text assures us that our Heavenly Father, unlike the unjust judge, will answer us speedily on one condition:  if we will pray in faith and trust in Him.

As you ask in faith today, may you receive blessings beyond your widest imaginations, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT:

Pray until something happens (PUSH) today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 35-36.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 32:   SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER.

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! 

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! 

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, 

believe his word, and trust his grace, 

I'll cast on him my every care, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire. In Jesus' name, I pray.”

Prayer Points: 

1.Thank You, Father, for sending Your son, Jesus, in the form of man, to deliver me from bondage to sin and to grant me eternal life.

2.Thank You, Father, for bringing me out of the darkness of this world, into Your marvelous light in Christ Jesus, that I may show forth Your praise.

3.Thank You, Father, for the salvation of my soul, and for granting me direct access to Your throne of grace and mercy, through the blood of Jesus that was shed at Calvary.

4.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me, in Jesus' name.

5.Father, I soak myself in the blood of Jesus, and I bind every spirit of demonic and satanic fear and bondage, in my life; I paralyse and cast them out, forever, in Jesus' name.

6.I declare that I have not received the spirit of bondage to fear again, but I have received the spirit of adoption, whereby, I cry Abbah Father, in Jesus' name.

7. Father, let only Your fear, which is the beginning of wisdom, possess and take dominion over my life; and let every satanic attack from the pit of hell, targeted against me, go back to sender, in Jesus' name.

8.Father, destroy every remnant of the works of the devil in my life, including the spirit of fear, and let Your blessings begin to flow in my life, in Jesus' name.

9.Father, please don’t let anything rob me of the benefits of Christ’s redemption; let the whole world know that I am Your child, in the mighty name of Jesus.

10.Father, bless your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye and surround him with Your fire; shield and protect him from every satanic attack and arrow, in Jesus' name.

11.Father, bless Your son that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measures, and all those who have been rebroadcasting them, in Jesus' name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: FRIDAY 6TH AUGUST 2021. 

THEME: REDEEMED FOR BLESSING! 

  

MEMORISE:

 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Hebrews 2:15

READ: Galatians 4:4-7.

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

MESSAGE:

The benefits of redemption are innumerable. Anytime I remember what I suffered in the hands of Satan and his agents before I was redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, I cannot help thanking God for the salvation of my soul. 

Fear was a major source of my torment before I met Jesus Christ. This fear was passed unto me from my mother who, by the grace of God, also later became saved. For fear that i. being her only son, might be killed, my mother sent me far away from my hometown. For many years I could not return for fear of death and the wicked people there. However, when we surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ, we were saved and liberated from the spirit of fear. This is why I am praying for anyone who has been living in perpetual fear that such a person will be delivered from that torment in Jesus’ name. Romans 8:15 says “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

Concerning Christ’s redemption, Hebrews 2:14-15 says:

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

Redemption grants us access to the throne of the Almighty God. Once you are redeemed, you have direct contact with the Lord.

This is why I am using this medium to invite you to accept Jesus Christ who has paid for your redemption in full. Confess your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Promise Him that you will abide by His word and never go back to the world; He will redeem you and blessings will begin to manifest in your life.

Are you a believer still wallowing in fear? This is not your portion! Are you doubting your redemption in Christ? Don’t. identify the cause of your fear and/or doubt so that you can retrace your steps. You have been redeemed for blessing and you shall indeed be blessed, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please don’t let anything rob me of the benefits of Christ’s redemption. Let the whole world know that I am Your child, in the mighty name of Jesus.

DATE: THURSDAY 5TH AUGUST 2021. 

THEME: BE THOU PERFECT. 

  

MEMORISE:

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 5:48

READ: Genesis 17:1-9.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

MESSAGE:

 There are many misconceptions about the demand of God for perfection. These misconceptions have led to some people to conclude that perfection is unrealistic and so should be abandoned in the Christian walk. My prayer is that the power of God will come upon you today and you will live in perfection as God demands, in Jesus’ name.

Why do people see God’s demand for our perfection as unrealistic? Many people think that perfection is to be attained by our strength. This is simply not so. Nobody can attain anything by his or her own strength (1 Samuel 2:9). We need the power and wisdom of God for perfection. The problem, however, is the belief of many that perfection is unattainable. They lack faith in God to help them become perfect. This is why the Bible says:

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Unbelief breeds disobedience as in the case of the first man and woman. They doubted the word of God and fell into imperfection through this unbelief! This was unlike Abraham in our text for today. Thus, if you are struggling with unbelief, pray like that man whose child was tormented by demons “….Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:24).

When people see a state of human perfection as a ‘mission impossible’, it is simply because they do not understand the concept from the point of view of the Lord. How does God see perfection? You are perfect based on your obedience to what God asks you to do- even when it is neither ‘logically’ nor ‘politically’ correct. Once you obey, He justifies you. We are justified through faith in the Son of the Living God (Romans 8:33). Perfection and holiness share the same factor that makes them realistic and that is obedience.

Are you always obedient to the word of God? If you are, I congratulate you. If not, you must repent today, because tomorrow may be too late.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please let Your Holy Spirit quicken me to perfection, in my life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 31-32.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 14:   JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL.

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

hear me, and from thy dwelling place

pour down the riches of thy grace.

Refrain:

Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;

O make me love thee more and more.

Jesus, too late I thee have sought;

how can I love thee as I ought?

And how extol thy matchless fame,

the glorious beauty of thy name?

Jesus, what didst thou find in me

that thou hast dealt so lovingly?

How great the joy that thou hast brought,

so far exceeding hope or thought! 

Jesus, of thee shall be my song;

to thee my heart and soul belong;

all that I have or am is thine,

and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: WEDNESDAY 4TH AUGUST 2021. 

THEME: ARISE AND SHINE. 

  

MEMORISE:

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Isaiah 60:1.

READ: Isaiah 60:1-5.

1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

MESSAGE:

The memory verse for today enjoins us to arise and shine because our light has come. What or who is this light? Here is the answer:

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

Jesus is the light that brings the glory of the Lord to every situation. The moment the glory of departed from Adam and Eve, they realized that they were naked. Adam said: “…. I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:10). However, when God decided to rescue man from this shameful state, He sent His Son- the Light, to the world.

In our Bible reading of today, we are commanded to arise and at the same time, shine. Why? It is because God made up His mind to lighten the world that had been covered by darkness. It is also because the glory of the Lord has come upon the world. What or who is this glory of the Lord? Jesus Christ the Son of God is the glory of the Lord. I don’t know how deep you may have into darkness through sinful habits and associations; however, I have good news for you: your light has come! All you have to do is partake of this great light is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Matthew 11:28 says “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

You can rest assured that if you let the Light in, your life, which may have been plagued with all that darkness represents, shall be lightened up. Darkness is represented by sin, sickness, poverty, sorrow, failure and bondage, whereas light represents righteousness, divine health, prosperity, joy breakthrough and freedom.

Many of us can testify that there is darkness in this world. The darkness we are talking about is not the absence of electricity, but rather, spiritual darkness, according to Ephesians 6:12.

Are you still in darkness? If the answer is yes, why hasn’t your own light come?

It may be that you have not embraced the Light. Accept Jesus the Light into your life today and darkness will no longer be able to comprehend or overcome you, according to John 1:5.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, let the light of Your Son Jesus Christ shine upon me today. Let Your glory be greatly evident in my life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 29-30.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 10:   I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY.

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

By faith, on Heaven’s tableland,

A higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where those abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught the joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

4. I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
