Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: SUNDAY 22ND AUGUST 2021. 


THEME: HOLD FAST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.

  

MEMORISE:

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12


READ: Matthew 24:2-13.


2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


MESSAGE:

While it is true that the devil can rob us of eternal life, it is also true that we can ignorantly submit it to him. The reason is found in Romans 8:31 which says:

“ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”


The answer to this question is that nobody can be against us- except we ourselves.

“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” Romans 5:19


Here we see that there is something deeper than sin itself- that is, disobedience. When a person is called a sinner, it means there is disobedience somewhere in the life of such a fellow. In other words, the power of sin lies in disobedience. According to the Scripture above, men were made sinners through disobedience. We can conclude therefore that the absence of disobedience is the absence of sin! Let us look at another Scripture in order to see how God views disobedience as different acts that dishonor Him:

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.……” 1 Samuel 15:22-23


Beloved, in simple terms, one thing that can deny one of eternal life is disobedience to the word of God, which I regard as the father of all sins.


Are you disobedient to God who you proclaim to be your Father? How often do you argue with His word? Are you comfortable with His ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ or do you consider them stressful?


Some members of the 21st century Church don’t take God’s command seriously anymore. I am using this opportunity to advise you not to join the group of such people. Eternal life is real and you cannot afford to miss it. Hold fast unto eternal life by obeying every word of God.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me the grace to be perfectly obedient to You in all things, that I may have eternal life, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 120-121.

 

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

  

DATE: SATURDAY 21ST AUGUST 2021. 


THEME: YOU MUST CROSS THE FINISH LINE.

  

MEMORISE:


But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mathew 24:13


READ: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.


24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.


25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.


26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:


27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.


MESSAGE:

Some theologians teach that once you are saved you are forever saved. This is the lie of the devil. The truth of the matter is that there is temporary (provisional) salvation as well as eternal salvation. One can be saved temporarily and be damned eventually if he falls out of the will of God, whereas God has also made provision for our eternal salvation if we abide by His word which is able to save us ultimately to the end (James 1:21). The Bible says:

“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

Ecclesiastes 7:8 


There are examples of people who started well in the Christian race but fell by the way side, chief among whom was Judas Iscariot- one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. Beloved, do not allow yourself to be deceived, thinking that once you are saved, nothing can take away your salvation. If Judas- a disciple of Christ could fall and lose his eternal salvation, nobody should consider Heaven a certainty while living a life of sin. Heaven is guaranteed only if you live righteously to the very end.


Complete obedience to the word of God is a fundamental condition for eternal salvation. James 1:22, 25 says:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves….. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”


In addition to obeying the word of God, another condition is due endurance of persecution to the end. Jesus Christ, in our memory verse of today categorically tells us that only those who endure to the end shall be ultimately saved (Matthew 24:13). Why persecution? The Bible says “ Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12).


The Scripture corroborates what our Lord Jesus Christ as in John 15:19:

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”


Beloved, let us endure to the end and we shall experience eternal salvation, in the name of Jesus.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to endure to the very end so I would receive eternal salvation. Don’t let me fail by the way, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 24:   TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE.

Take my life and let it be

Chorus

It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.


Take my hands and let them move

Ata the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them ge

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


Take my voice and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips and let them e

Filled with messages from Thee.


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.


DATE: FRIDAY 20TH AUGUST, 2021.


THEME: JESUS THE PEACEMAKER.


MEMORISE:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

(Isaiah 9:6)


READ: 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (KJV)


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


18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;


19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.


MESSAGE:

When sin came into the lives of Adam and Eve, they forfeited their cordial relationship with the Lord God Almighty.


They were separated from the blissful presence of their Creator. It was a great loss. The interesting thing that many may not believe is that God wants man to come back into fellowship with Him.


However, God’s holiness prevents Him from beholding iniquity, as we see in Isaiah 59:1-2:


Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.


To bring about this reconciliation therefore, God had to make the sacrifice of giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for the sins of the world (John 3:16). 2 Corinthians 5:19 says further:


To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.


Before Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, He said:


Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

(Matthew 11:28).


In John 7:37, He calls:


…If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


Our memory verse says “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).


To make peace with God therefore, one must acknowledge his sins as well as confess and forsake them, with a promise not to go back to the life of disobedience.


A new life is expected of anyone who has accepted the peace that living in Jesus Christ brings.


The Bible speaks of the publican in Luke 18:13 thus:


And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.


Making peace with God also requires breaking away from past misdeeds and making right our wrongdoings like in the case of Zacchaeus:


And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. (Luke 19:8).


This is proof of genuine repentance and reconciliation.


PRAYER POINT:

Jesus Christ, The Prince of Peace, please remove any barrier between me and my Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, permanently reconcile me to God the Father.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 117-118


HYMN 28: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.


1. What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear;

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!


2. Oh, what peace we often forfeit,

Oh, what needless pain we bear;

All because we do not carry

Ev’rything to God in prayer.


3. Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged,

Take it to the Lord in prayer!


4. Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.


5. Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Saviour, still our refuge,

Take it to the Lord in prayer!


6. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: THURSDAY 19TH AUGUST 2021. 


THEME: SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS.

  

MEMORISE:


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians 1:3


READ: Ephesians 1:3-5


3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:


4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:


5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,


MESSAGE:

Blessings are in various categories. There are physical as well as spiritual blessings, according to the memory verse of today. Physical blessings are temporary while those of a spiritual nature are enduring and eternal. All blessings however- whether physical or spiritual, come from the Lord, according to James 1:17:

“ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”


The best of all blessings are those of a spiritual nature, which transcend the present age. This is why Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ wrote:

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:19


Spiritual blessings cannot be qualified in material or monetary terms. These include gifts of the Holy Spirit as well as victory over principalities and powers. The benefits of spiritual blessings are captured in Mark 10:29-30 thus:

“And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”


In addition to all the physical blessings we get from submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ, we have the spiritual blessing of eternal life. No matter how long we live on the earth, we shall depart from in one day. Where will you spend eternity- Heaven or hell? May you not spend eternity in hell, in the mighty name of Jesus.


To access spiritual blessings, you must believe Jesus and make Him your personal Lord and Savior (John 6:27-29).


ACTION POINT:

Ask the Almighty God to load you with spiritual blessings. If, however, you have not given your life to Jesus, accept Him as your Lord today so that you can also begin to enjoy special blessings.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 114-116.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 30:   WHEN UPON LIFE’S BILLOWS YOU ARE TEMPEST TOASSED.

1. When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. 


Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.


3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings, money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. 



4. So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
