Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: FRIDAY 12TH NOVEMBER 2021. 


THEME: ASK UNTIL YOU RECEIVE.

  

MEMORISE:

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

John 16:24


READ: John 16:24-27.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.


25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.


26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:


27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.


MESSAGE:

Every child of God must cultivate the habit of praying without ceasing, according to 1 Thessalonians 5:17. The importance of prayer cannot be overemphasized when we consider what those who took time to pray gained by so doing. James 5:17-18 says:

“ Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.”


I remember when I was asking God for a small apartment in the suburbs of Lagos shortly after becoming the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The Lord forbade me to ask for just an apartment house because He was preparing a city for me. In other words, the Lord was saying that I should not ask for peanuts. Today, the city is in the making. As a matter of fact, what is already on ground is comparable to the modest city and I am still trusting Him for the full actualization of His promise. Praise the Lord!


All we need is to keep on asking Him so our joy may be full. The prayer of Elijah that brough about the rain was not just a five-minute one. He prayed and prayed again before the rain fell. When a man of God prays for a few minutes in public and miracles begin to happen, one should not be deceived to imagine that all we need too are brief prayers. The fact is that the man of God would have actually prayed long hours before the public show of God’s miraculous deeds.


Our Lord Jesus Christ in today’s memory verse says “……ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full”. In other words, we must not stop asking until we receive answers to our prayers so our joy may be full.


Hannah prayed until something happened in her life to confirm that she would get her blessing, according to 1 Samuel 1:13-18. Jabez also prayed and God granted him his request (1 Chronicles 4:10). David said that when he cried to the Lord, He healed him (Psalm 30:2). Cry unto the Lord today, and He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah, to mention just a few, in Jesus’ name.


ACTION POINT:

Make out time to pray earnestly today and you will receive unprecedented answers to your requests, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 40-44.

 

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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: THURSDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2021. 


THEME: THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF GOD.

  

MEMORISE:

The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Exodus 15:3


READ: Exodus 15:1-11.

1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.


2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.


3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.


4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.


5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.


6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.


7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.


8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.


9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.


10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.


11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?


MESSAGE:

Children of God shake and bow in fear to the enemy only when they fail to recognize that their Heavenly Father is the Mighty Warrior who has never lost and will never lose a war. The Lord of hosts is our Banner. He is the only one that an protect and lead us into victory.


Bowing in fear will displease God, to say the least, because He has commanded that “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3). This is the reason Jesus Christ our Lord came to deliver those who, for the fear of death, subject themselves to everlasting bondage according to Hebrews 2:14-15:

“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.”


I have experienced the mighty deeds of God in my life over and over again and I have come to the conclusion that there is no god as mighty as my Daddy in heaven – the Lord of hosts. For example, I recall a time I was travelling with my driver and we got to the middle of the narrow bridge that could take only one vehicle at a time. We then suddenly discovered that a truck was also coming from the opposite direction on the same bridge. Only the intervention of the Almighty God could have made that bridge expand for my car and the truck to pass through without colliding with each other.


The Almighty God is the Greatest Warrior. The children of Israel experienced the mighty deeds of God and they composed a song as we read in today’s Bible text. I pray that the mighty deeds of God will produce your desired miracle today, in Jesus’ name. You however, have to become a child of God to enjoy His mighty deeds. The Israelites were regular witnesses to the mighty deeds of God because they belonged to Him- they were His children.


In order to experience the mighty deeds of God, you need to be born again. This is the first mighty work the Lord does in the lives of His children- the salvation of their souls (1 John 1:7-9). I pray that the might deeds of God will become a daily occurrence in your life, in the name of Jesus.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please make me experience Your mighty deeds this season and always, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 34-39.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

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


1. 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?

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

To love thee with, my dearest King,

Oh, with what bursts of fervant praise

Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing.

Sweet Sacrament, we thee adore;

Oh, make us love thee more and more.

Oh, make us love thee more and more.


3. Thy Body, Soul, and Godhead, all,

O mystery of love divine.

I cannot compass all I have,

For all thou hast and art are mine.

Sweet Sacrament, we thee adore;

Oh, make us love thee more and more.

Oh, make us love thee more and more.

DATE: WEDNESDAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2021. 


THEME: FULFIL YOUR VOWS.

  

MEMORISE:

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.   

Ecclesiastes 5:5


READ: Psalm 15:1-4.

1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?


2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.


3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.


4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.


MESSAGE:

One common and deadly habit of many 21st century Christians is making vows and not fulfilling it. This is foolishness of the highest order. When funds are being raised for the work of God, careless children of God make very big vows ‘in faith’, that they are not able to fulfil. They justify themselves by saying “God understands!”


Ecclesiastes 5:5-6 says:

“Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?”


One of the most sensitive and delicate vows is that of the marriage covenant. People no longer accept the fact that marriage vows remain valid until death separates both the husband and the wife. They give all sorts of excuses for divorcing their spouse. One of my children normally asks such people “when you were saying ‘for better for worse’, did you put a limit to the extent of the worse you were talking about?”


Whosoever decides to end a marriage is a covenant-breaker and has failed to fulfil the wedding vow! This is why some of Jesus’ disciples exclaimed, after He explained the sanctity of the marriage vow to them “….If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.” (Matthew 19:10). Jesus replied “….All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given…. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” (Matthew 19:11-12).


Beloved, do not be a covenant-breaker, because no such person will enter into the Kingdom of God.


Have you made any vow before the Almighty God that you have broken? Repent now, seek His forgiveness and see to it that you take the necessary steps towards amending your ways and fulfilling such vows.


The Bible says:

“But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.” Ezekiel 33:19


Beloved, fulfil your vows.


ACTION POINT:

Think of all the unfulfilled vows you have made and make amends without further delay.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 29-33.


HYMN 20:  PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY.

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!

All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;

Praise Him in glad adoration.


2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!

Hast thou not seen how thy desires e’er have been

Granted in what He ordaineth?


3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;

Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

If with His love He befriend thee.


4. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,

Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,

Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,

Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.


5. Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,

Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,

Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,

Saints with His mercy surrounding.


6. Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that is in me adore Him!

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him;

Let the Amen sound from His people again,

Gladly for aye we adore Him.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE: TUESDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 2021. 


THEME: WE OWE GOD GRATITUDE.

  

MEMORISE:

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

1 Chronicles 16:34


READ: Luke 17:11-19.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.


12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:


13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.


14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.


15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,


16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.


17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?


18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.


19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.


MESSAGE:

There is one thing that irritates God which many don’t pay attention to and that is ingratitude. In my village- Ifewara, in the South-Western part of Nigeria, our people would say “Don’t follow-up on your benevolent act” os that it would not appear as if you are seeking gratitude or worship. God however, demands both from us and rightly so too, because we all owe everything we have to His benevolence. As a matter of fact, God follows up on His benevolent acts and that is why He told the children of Israel to bring one-tenth of His blessings upon their lives (Deuteronomy 14:22) and the first fruits from their farmlands and livelihood, to Him.

“Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you….” Leviticus 23:10-11


The Psalmist’s knowledge of the dangers of ingratitude led him to say in Psalm 103:1-2:

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”


In the Bible reading today, the Lord Jesus asked “….Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” (Luke 17:17). The Lord then perfected the healing of the grateful man, making him whole.


It is most unfortunate that many children of God are already so used to miraculous acts of God as to take them for granted. They are no longer moved by these acts, invariably leading to an ungrateful attitude. Newcomers to the church who know what they have suffered at the hands of the devil and his cohorts give thanks to God for their miracles, whereas some pastors don’t testify of how God healed them of headache because they don’t see it as a ‘big deal’. Such people have forgotten that the headache they consider as ordinary has claimed the lives of millions of other people.


My prayer is that you will never be ungrateful again, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

father, please forgive me for all actions or inactions that have amounted to being ungrateful to You. Please Lord, help me to be grateful to You at all times, in Jesus’ name.
