Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: SUNDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 

THEME: THE GOD OF ABUNDANCE.

  

MEMORISE:

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Genesis 1:22

READ: Genesis 1:20-23

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

MESSAGE:

Our God is not just the God of creation, He is also the God of abundance. When God creates, He does not do so sparingly. He is still in the business of creation, according to John 5:17 which says:

“……My Father worketh hitherto, and I work…..”

This is why the provision He made in the universe has not been exhausted.

An end has come to every form of fruitlessness and lack in your life today, in Jesus’ name. Our God is also the God of variety- He created both great and small in different forms. This knowledge must have informed Apostle Paul’s assurance to the Philippians that the Almighty God would supply all their need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Another lesson we could learn from today’s reading is that God blessed His handwork to be fruitful and to multiply. We can thus see how foolish anyone would be if he or she agrees with the devil that God hates him or her. Our God is interested in the prosperity of His people. The Psalmist understood this and wrote:

“……let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” Psalm 35:27 

Nobody cares about us more than God. His care, mercy and love are incomparable. Jesus said in John 15:13:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Romans 8:32 also says “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”

This is why He said in Luke 12:31:

“But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

In light of the above therefore, trust God for all you need in life because His name is Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord our Provider). Do not cut corners to be rich; if you do, this would have grave consequences. May the God of abundance meet all your needs this season, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please meet me at the point of my needs today, according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

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

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 has done.

Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God has done!

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord has 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, every doubt will fly,

And you will keep 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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: SATURDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 

THEME: THE GOD OF DISTINCTION.

  

MEMORISE:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:27

READ: Genesis 1:14-19

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

MESSAGE:

Our God is the God of distinction; He is not an author of confusion. A man chooses to be confused when he does not want to do the right thing as ordered by God and so pretends that he does not know what God wants from him. He created lights for a purpose and darkness for another. God commanded:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” Genesis 1:14

The God of order is that God of distinction. When He wanted to create man, for example, the Bible says:

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27

God, in His infinite wisdom, created mankind as male and female, yet some people feel the need to change their gender as though He did not know what He was doing when He created them!

God does not make mistakes. Our God is the perfect God of distinction. He created the day for work and the night to rest. If for any reason we do not rest in one night, the following day should compensate for the loss of rest. Failure to observe rest produces stress, sickness and ultimately death. Little wonder life expectancy in the last fifty year has been on the decline. Achievements that should normally have taken forty years to accomplish are realized in fewer than thirty, at the price of dying earlier.

The God of distinction says in His word:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

He then commanded in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18:

“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.”

A lot of people have mixed many profane things with the scared. The God of distinction will never lower His standards. It is our duty to live up to His standards.

ACTION POINT:

Look into your life and see where you have compromised your values as a Christian. Repent and begin to walk in the path of righteousness again.

HYMN 23:   STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING.

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

5. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: FRIDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 

THEME: THE CREATIVE WORD OF GOD.

  

MEMORISE:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  

Genesis 1:1

READ: John 1:1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

MESSAGE:

There is power in the word of God. The word of God has creative power. The power in the word of God created space where there seemed to be none, according to our Bible reading for today.

The word of God will always make a way where there is no way and a space where there is no space. When the Israelites got to the Red Sea and it seemed that they were shut between it and the hosts of Pharaoh, the Lord spoke through Moses that they should move on. It takes faith in God to obey such a command, but thank God they did and their obedience paid off because the word made an expressway in the sea for them to pass through. Exodus 14:15-16 says:

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

Another lesson we should learn here is that we should always talk to God about our challenge. Moses did this effectively and every time he did, God spoke. This made Moses a problem-solver because he always heard from God. Also, when God speaks, it is done. All that is required for the ultimate manifestation is for us to take the necessary action in obedience to His word. My life is a testimony of the power in the word of God. The word of God has increased my faith in the past and is still doing so. It was the word which came to me during a family devotion that strengthened me when we were trusting God for our first natural birth. Indeed, it came through one of the children as we were considering the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea when the power of God made a way where there was none. The Bible says in Exodus 14:16:

“But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it…..”

It was Moses who divided the sea under the influence of God’s word. The word had established it ahead:

“…….and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

The children of God moved forward in faith and it came to pass. We must be both hearers and doers of the word (James 1:22,25). My prayer for you is that, as you obey the word of God, you will begin to do the impossible, in Jesus; name.

ACTION POINT:

Examine your life and see if there are ways in which you have not been heeding God’s word. Repent so that you may begin to live in the supernatural from now.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 1:   ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME.

1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all!

2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him Lord of all!

3. Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him Lord of all!

4. Oh, that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

DATE: THURSDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER, 2021.

THEME: YOU NEED THE LIGHT OF GOD!

MEMORIZE:

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 

Genesis 1:3

BIBLE READING: GENESIS 1:1-5.

1. In the beginning God created heaven and the earth.

2. And the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning was the first day.

MESSAGE:

The first challenge that confronted the earth was darkness and this is what God first dealt with in the creation story, according to Genesis chapter one.

May the Lord deal with every form of darkness that has hitherto plagued your life in Jesus name.

When an individual gropes in darkness, he or she is likely to fall into a pit and thereby end his or her life prematurely.

In other words, darkness is potentially harmful. This is why there must be light and there will be light in your life today, in Jesus name.

God said let there be light and there was light (Genesis 1:3).

One lesson we must quickly learn here is that it was when God spoke His word that the miracle of light occurred.

Many modern-day Christians close up their hearts to the word of God. This is the reason many are in the Church for years and their lives remain the same.

They came sick and remain sick; they came bound and remain bound. What a waste of opportunity!

My prayer is that the word of God will penetrate your life today and you will experience the miracle of the light of the Living God.

When there is darkness, there can be no positive activity.

God knew this and that was the reason He first tackled the problem of darkness when He created the earth.

The devil represents the darkness in this world and that is why you need the light of God.

Revelation 12:12 says:

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

When there is no activity because of darkness, stagnation is inevitable.

When God says Let there be light, it could mean the recovery of sight to the blind.

It could mean healing to the sick or the coming of a joyous morning, according to Psalms 30:5. Let there be light could mean the end of suffering and disappointment.

Thus, if you are reading this devotional and are yet to come into the light of God in Jesus Christ, today is the day of salvation, healing, breakthrough, and deliverance; now is the acceptable time (2 Corinthians 6:2).

You need the light of God today. Go for it in prayer.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please send Your Light into my life today, in Jesus name.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

LUKE 5:1-39, LUKE 6:1-49 

HYMN 14: JESUS MY LORD MY GOD MY ALL.

1. 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.

2. 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?

3. 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!

4. 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.
