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 creating me in Your image and likeness; and for choosing and ordaining me for the purpose of gathering fruits into Your vineyard.


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


3.Father, let me be fruitful in all good works and let my fruits abide, so that whatever, I ask You, in the name of Jesus,  shall be given  to me, in Jesus' name.


4.Father, please, give me the grace to be faithful in few things that I may be made ruler over many things, in Your kingdom, in Jesus' name.


5.Father, let every spirit of slothfulness be consumed in my life by Your fire, and release upon me, the spirit of profitable hard work, in Jesus' name.


6.Father, let me not be weary or tired of well doing; and for everything that I have left and sacrificed to follow You, let me be rewarded, hundredfolds, here and in the hereafter, in Jesus' name.


7.Father, empower me by Your grace to be committed to the service of Your kingdom, in soul-winning, in sacrificial giving, and to be obedient to You, in all things, in Jesus' name.


8.Father, give me the strength and the grace to  serve You to the end and to the point of reward, in Jesus' name.


9.Father, when You shall come in Your glory, let me still be found in You, and let me receive the voice of commendation and reward for my labours, and not rebuke, in Jesus' name.


10.Father, bless your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, renew his strength and anointing; let him finish well and strong, 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: SUNDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 


THEME: YOU WILL BE COMMENDED!

  

MEMORISE:

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 

Revelation 22:12


READ: Matthew 25:19-21

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.


20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.


21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


MESSAGE:

Man is wonderfully and fearfully made. Created in the image of God, man is a “god” to other forms of creation, according to Psalm 82:6, which is re-established in John 10:34. God Almighty created man for a divine purpose and for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). At the same time, God has prepared a reward for every man who chooses to fulfil His purpose for his life (Revelation 22:12).


In today’s Bible text, we read of the faithful servant who made good use of the talents given to him by his master and received a commendation. Jesus Christ said in John 15:16:

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”


The Lord is encouraging someone reading this devotional today that He is taking note of your labor of love in the Church and to humanity. Though your pastor or head of department may not commend you, the Almighty God will reward you handsomely if you will not be weary in well-doing, according to Galatians 6:9 which says:

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”


Peter asked the Lord what their reward would be, seeing that they left everything to follow Him. Jesus answered in Mark 10:29-30 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.”


Beloved, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior if you haven’t done so yet. After this, begin to work for Him, serve Him and His Church through soulwinning and sacrificial giving. You will surely be commended. Recall that our memory verse says “I come quickly and my reward is with me…..”


ACTION POINT:

Think of a way to work for God, using your talents and resources to expand His kingdom on earth.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 23-24.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 23:   JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL.

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all!

How can I love Thee as I ought?

And how revere this wondrous gift,

So far surpassing hope or thought?


Refrain:

Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore!

Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Oh, make us love Thee more and more.


2. Had I but Mary's sinless heart

With which to love Thee, dearest King,

Oh, with what ever fervent praise,

Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!


3. Thy Body, Soul and Godhead, all!

O mystery of love divine!

I cannot compass all I have,

For all Thou hast and art is mine!


4. Sound, then, His praises higher still,

And come, ye angels, to our aid;

For this is God, the very God

Who hath both men and angels made!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: SATURDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 


THEME: WEEP NOT; RATHER REJOICE.

  

MEMORISE:

Rejoice evermore. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16




READ: Luke 7:12-15

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.


13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.


14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.


15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.



MESSAGE:

One of the shortest verse of the New Testament which is also our memory verse today says “Rejoice evermore.” 


Today, we read about the command “Weep Not”. This command is easier read than obeyed. A widow lost her only son and Jesus Christ commanded her not to weep! The Lord is saying to you also “Don’t weep, but rather, rejoice” because He will intervene in that situation that is drawing tears out of your eyes. Weeping doesn’t solve any problem; it is merely an expression of sorrow.


Weeping could be detrimental to those who indulge themselves in the habit. Weeping blurs vision and reasoning- both physically and spiritually. Weeping particularly when God says don’t weep in such situations that appear unpleasant, is an indirect protest against God’s command, and anything that we do contrary to the command of the Lord  is an act of rebellion. The Bible assures us that “Weeping may endure for a night; but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). We are most blessed if we believe this Scripture.


Weeping blurred Mary Magdalene’s vision on the resurrection morning to the extent that she mistook Jesus Christ for a gardener (John 20:11-15). Jesus tried to console her but she did not recognize Him.

“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.” John 20:15


An antidote for weeping is reading God’s word concerning His promises for us in the time of trouble. Another one is high praises to God who specializes in reversing the irreversible. The Bible says when David was distressed at Ziklag because the wives and children of he and his men had been taken away captive by raiders, he appealed to God for His consoling word. He was not only consoled but also assured of full restoration (1 Samuel 30:1-8). Seek and speak the word of God that is applicable to your challenge in the time of trouble, then praise Him. You will surely laugh last.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please wipe away all tears from my eyes and remove those situations that cause me to weep today, in the name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 22.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 31:   NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD.

1. Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;

Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.


2. Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;

And guard us through all ills in this world, till the next!


3. All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given,

The Son, and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven—

The one eternal God, Whom earth and Heav’n adore;

For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: FRIDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER 2021. 


THEME: FOLLOW GOOD LEADERSHIP.

  

MEMORISE:

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:1




READ: Philippians 3:14-17

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.


16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.


17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.


MESSAGE:

The Bible’s instruction to “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” simply means to carefully research and meditate upon the lives of those who obtained God’s approval. Learn those things they did that earned them God’s approval. In today’s text, we read of Paul- an outstanding apostle of Jesus Christ. He strove to reach the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. The following are the things he did to attain this goal: One, he forsook the worldly glory and approval to gain the approval of God through the righteousness that can only be found in Christ. Two, he sought to know more of Jesus Christ in order to do His will; he was never satisfied with a life of mediocrity. The apostle made bold to say:

“Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.” Philippians 3:17


Beloved, any Church leader who cannot say what Paul said above is not worth following. Show me your leader and I will tell you who you are. I will even tell you how far you can go in the Christian journey. When I gave my life to Christ, I was blessed with a leader who was heaven-bound. That was my late Father-in-the-Lord – the founder of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Any time I looked at him, I saw the glory of God and the image of Jesus Christ in him and knew if I could follow his footsteps, I would make it in my Christian walk. He was completely transparent, a lover of the cross of his Master and Savior. He did not only teach but practiced what he taught to the letter. Paul, the apostle wrote:

“ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9


It is necessary for Christians to prove all things and hold fast that which is good, according to 1 Thessalonians 5:21. We are to abstain from all appearance of evil. I advise you to seek out genuine teachers of the word of God and learn from them because only the truth and nothing but the truth can set you free from the errors of the end times. Jesus Christ is the truth.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please reveal Yourself to me afresh through Your Son and Your appointed leader over my life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 20-21.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 18:   PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOR.

1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


2. Let me at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.


3. Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.


4. Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee,

Whom in Heav’n but Thee.
