Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Ade

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

   

DATE:  WEDNESDAY 1ST DECEMBER 2021.  

 

THEME: CHRISTIAN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

   

MEMORISE: 

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 

Matthew 6:3


READ: Matthew 6:1-4

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.


2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.


3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:


4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

 

MESSAGE: 

Some people may that Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) is a twenty-first century concept, but that is not so. In fact, CSR has been in existence since the Old Testament days. I encourage you to read Leviticus 19:9-10; you will see from that Scripture that social responsibility had already been entrenched in the law of sowing and reaping among the children of Israel, and by extension children of Abraham in the faith. 


When you cater for the poor, you are ministering deliverance to yourself; indeed Psalm 41:1 says that for anyone who does this “….the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.” Be they financial, physical, spiritual, marital, or career troubles, God will deliver you when you help the less privileged.


When the widow of Zarephath was giving her last meal to the prophet, she could not have known that she would be reaping deliverance from starvation for the next three and a half years, for yourself and her household. Psalm 41:2 also says the Lord will preserve those who remember the poor and keep them alive. Thus, if you want long life, one of the surest ways of getting it is by giving to the poor.


Today’s Scripture reading tells us how best to execute our CSR projects before the Lord. God’s way of doing CSR is such that we do not seek the commendation of men like the people of the world, especially when politicians want people’s votes. When we engage in charitable deeds and then invite the media to broadcast it so we can receive commendation from the world, we are doing the direct opposite of what Jesus wants. I spoke extensively on this in one of my telecasts during the COVID-19 pandemic early last year. According to Matthew 6:2, we lose our eternal reward when we advertise our acts if social responsibility just because we seek human commendation. However, when we do our social responsibility Jesus’ way, our reward is eternal. Matthew 6:4 says:

“……and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”

Beloved, remember the poor around you and be sure to put smile on the face of at least one person in need today. As you do, don’t forget to do it Christ’s way. God will bless you abundantly as you do, in Jesus’ name.

 

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, as I go about doing what You ask of me today, please help me not to miss my blessings, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

   

DATE:  TUESDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 2021.  

 

THEME: IT MAY NOT BE THE DEVIL!

   

MEMORISE: 

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Psalm 38::1 

 

READ: Psalm 38:1-9

1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.


2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.


3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.


4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.


5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.


6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.


7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.


8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.


9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.


MESSAGE: 

It is disastrous for a Christian not to know the source of his or her challenges. It is indeed very possible that the challenge you are through may not even be from the devil. It may be a chastisement coming directly from the Lord. Once you are able to confirm this, you must humble yourself in repentance before Jesus. you must always look inwards anytime you feel that your relationship with God is trained. That is what the Psalmist always did. Sadly, today, many Christians always want to exonerate themselves; they are so quick to attribute the challenges of their lives to the devil. At times, I imagine the devil saying “You’ve missed it. You are a child of God; I dare not come near you.” How I wish all Christians would be spiritually sensitive.


You must know that sin brings the wrath of God upon a sinner, irrespective of the spiritual standing of the fellow before he or she fell into sin. I know this is because Ezekiel 33:12 says:

“…….The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression:….. neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.”


Thank God for 1 John 2:1-2 which offers hope to anyone who strays into sin. It says:

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

If you have sinned, you must not be too proud to repent. Likewise, when others have sinned, it is not your place to say whether they would be forgiven or not.

As a body, we are not to bury wounded soldiers who are still struggling to survive. Unfortunately, that’s what many so-called Christians do; we take away the life support from dying soldiers and make their journey to hell faster! There is enough room at the top for all children of God, so there is no need to pull anyone down in order to rise.

Don’t become an enemy to yourself. a house divided against itself shall not stand (Matthew 12:25).

 

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, please help me to keep holding fast to the word of salvation and to live thereby, to the end.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DANIEL 7-12. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE  


HYMN 7: HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS.

1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


Refrain:

Are you washed in the blood,

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


2. Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?


4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

   

DATE: MONDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2021.  

 

THEME: SORROW OF UNGODLY PROSPERITY. 

   

MEMORISE: 

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Psalm 37:1 

 

READ: Psalm 37:1-9

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.


2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.


4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.


6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.


7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.


9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.


MESSAGE: 

It is common for unbelievers to flaunt prosperity. However, as we see in today’s memory verse, God does not want His children to be carried away by the prosperity of unbelievers.


Today’s Scripture reading contains many attractive things that unbelievers seemingly enjoy, so much so that unless a child of God is well-grounded in the Scripture, the fellow might think he or she is missing out on something by being godly.


Beloved, deciding to maintain a godly lifestyle is the best decision you can ever make. God is taking account of your watchfulness in doing His will and He will soon make it known to the wicked world that you are right and they are wrong. The Psalmist describes the end of the wicked in Psalm 73:16-18:

“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.”

You do not have to be corrupt simply because of the world claims that everyone is. The truth is that, like God did in the days of Elijah (1 Kings 19:14,18), He has also reserved an unimaginable number of his children who have made up their minds to follow the Master to the end, even today. 


The story is told of two Christians soldiers who stormed a meeting place of Christians during the reign of terror in the Soviet Union. These soldiers threatened to kill whoever confessed Jesus as their Lord, and promised to set free those who might want to change their minds. Unfortunately, many of those ‘Christians’ denied Christ. It was while the freed worshippers were leaving that the soldiers revealed their true identities and intent to show hypocritical Christians among the flock.


Today, ungodliness is in vogue because it seems to pay off. However, this is not true, especially when you consider the end of people who live as such. Beloved, let us keep on the firing line of holiness because Matthew 10:22 says whosoever endures to the end shall experience the ultimate salvation. 


May you indeed endure to the end and receive your crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8), in the mighty name of Jesus.


PRAYER POINT: 

Father, please help me to keep holding fast to the word of salvation and to live thereby, to the end.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE  


HYMN 14:   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?

Sweet Sacrament, we thee adore;

Oh, make us love thee more and more.

Oh, make us love thee more and more.


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.


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.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  

DATE:  SUNDAY 28TH NOVEMBER 2021. 


THEME: WHO IS YOUR REAL ENEMY?

  

MEMORISE:

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

Romans 8:31


READ: Psalm 35:1-7

1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.


2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.


3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.


4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.


5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.


6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.


7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.


MESSAGE:

Does your enemy have any legitimate claim against you? Are you sure your adversary does not have a genuine reason to attack you? These are the questions you must answer before inviting God- the Great Ally to come to your aid in the battle of life. Requesting divine intervention against your enemies will be counterproductive if you are the real enemy of yourself. how can one be an enemy of himself or herself? The answer is in today’s memory verse. You can be against yourself if you break divine laws, and this has its consequences. An example is in Malachi 3:8-9:

“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.”


Anyone who refused to pay their tithes is robbing God. What are you doing that is taking you away from your maker- the one who is supposed to be your unfailing Ally? You must answer this question before inviting God to be your Ally so you wouldn’t be inviting Someone you have taken as an enemy- that would be the greatest irony of all. Many times, I have told my children that there is only one person that can be against us when God wants to be for us and that is our very selves! The nobleman said to the unprofitable servant in Luke 19:22:

“…..Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant……”


We can also create enmity with the Greatest Ally when we abuse God’s temple either by sexual immorality or indecent dressing. 1 Corinthians 3:17 says God would destroy anyone who destroys His temple. Your dressing can destroy another person and when that happens, you create enmity between yourself and God. Thus, there is no way God can come to your rescue in the time of adversity. This is why you must ensure that your relationship with God is not in doubt at any time. This is possible when you accept Jesus as your Lord and forsake all sinful habits.


If you are already born again, continue to live Holy. When you do, God will fight for you and humiliate your enemies in ways you could never have imagined.


Beloved, I beseech you: do not be an enemy to yourself and ensure you are always on the side of God.


ACTION POINT:

Examine yourself and make sure the Greatest Ally is not only your God but your friend also.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: AMOS 5-9.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 21:   ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME.

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy wounded side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save from wrath and make me pure.


2. Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All for sin could not atone;

Thou must save, and Thou alone.


3. Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress;

Helpless, look to Thee for grace;

Foul, I to the fountain fly;

Wash me, Savior, or I die.


4. While I draw this fleeting breath,

When my eyes shall close in death,

When I rise to worlds unknown,

And behold Thee on Thy throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.
