Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: TUESDAY 21ST DECEMBER 2021.

 

THEME: GLUTTONY IS NOT A CHRISTIAN VIRTUE.

 

MEMORISE:

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.                    

Daniel 1:8

 

READ:  Proverbs 23:1-8.

1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

 

2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

 

3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

 

4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

 

5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

 

6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

 

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

 

8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

 

MESSAGE:

While it is true that the Bible describes alcohol as a mocker, it is not the only thing that can arouse a deadly appetite; food can and has done great havoc to the destinies of many people in history. The story of Esau and the red pottage with which he exchanged his birthright is a case in point (Hebrews 12:16). The Bible says:

“Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.”      Proverbs 23:20-21

In the Bible reading of today we are advised to be cautious when we are confronted with delicacies. Some classic examples of people who understood this principle were Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. According to Daniel 1:8, they purposed in their hears not to allow themselves to be carried away by the delicacies of the king so that they would not forget where they were coming from and where they were going. It takes self-discipline not to be a glutton, especially in the time of need. You should not allow your enemies to know when you are hungry or else, they can seize the opportunity to attack you.

 

The Bible says:

“Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.”                Proverbs 25:16-17

 

While the Bible does ask us to rejoice with those who rejoice (Romans 12:15), we should beware of excessive eating. Indeed, Proverbs 23:2 says that if you know that you have a large appetite and like to eat, when you feel tempted to succumb to gluttony, hold yourself back as though someone were pointing a knife at your neck to restrain you.

 

Apostle Paul’s statement about subduing the body (1 Corinthians 9:27) is not restricted to sexual immorality and alcohol consumption, but also excessive food intake. A word is enough for the wise.

 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please don’t allow my appetite to destroy my destiny, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 27-31.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 24:  TAKE MY LIFE AND DLET IT BE.

Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in endless praise.

Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: MONDAY 20TH DECEMBER 2021.

 

THEME: FRIEND OF A MOCKER?

 

MEMORISE:

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.                                    

Proverbs 20:1

 

READ:  Proverbs 31:1-5.

1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

 

2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

 

3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

 

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

 

5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

 

MESSAGE:

In spite of the evil of strong drinks, it is unfortunate that many self-acclaimed children of god are now introducing ‘moderation’ to its consumption. This is one of the signs of the end time, which they themselves teach but fail to acknowledge that they are victims of.

 

Our memory verse today describes wine as a mocker and strong drink as raging. A classic example of a victim of wine was Noah. The Bible says:

“And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.”                  Genesis 9:20-21

 

Ordinarily, Noah the just man who found grace in the sight of God would not have gone naked but for the influence of the wine on him. Little wonder Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:12:

“……… all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.”

 

Noah was indeed mocked by the wine and likewise many others like him. Why would anyone want to keep indulging in a habit that is sure to ultimately destroy him oe her?

 

Proverbs 31:4 also clearly states that alcohol is not meant to be consumed by kings and princes.

 

This Bible verse shows that Christians as kings under the King of kings must not consume alcoholic drinks, in order to be in our right minds at all times.

“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.”

 

You cannot afford to be a friend of alcohol unless you are ready to perish.

 

May the Lord remove every deadly appetite for alcoholic drinks from any reader of this devotional still indulging in the habit, today, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

ACTION POINT:

Anytime a drink is handed to you for consumption, ensure it contains no alcohol so you do not befriend a mocker that can destroy you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 22-26.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 29:  WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN?

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

 

For my pardon, this I see,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

For my cleansing this my plea,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Naught of good that I have done,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I’ll overcome—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Now by this I’ll reach my home—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus,

All my praise for this I bring—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 

DATE: SUNDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2021.

 

THEME: THERE IS NO EVIL WITH GOD.

 

MEMORISE:

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.                                              

Psalm 116:5

 

READ:  James 1:13-15.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

 

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

 

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

 

 

MESSAGE:

Today’s Bible reading clears the erroneous assumption that God experiments with temptations on His children. God does no evil, therefore, if you are His child and are going through temptations, you need to look inward.

 

We are comforted by God’s promises that He will help His children in the face of temptations. For example, 1 Peter 5:10 says:

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

 

Beloved, it is grace that saves us from the condemnation of lust, which lures people into diverse temptations. This is why the Bible encourages us to be sober. A life of flamboyance brings snares and temptations. The story of David and Bathsheba is a classic example. Davis stayed back in his palace at a time when kings usually went forth to battle, thus, he beheld what he should not have- a very beautiful woman bathing (2 Samuel 11:1-5). This same David asked in Psalm 13:1 “How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord?......”

 

God is not forgetful. If like David, you too have been dragged into sin, God is able to forgive you if you confess and repent (Proverbs 28:13). Until you do so, it may seem as if God have forgotten you, but that is not the case. It could be assumed that the sincere cry of the Psalmist to God and his self-examination brought back the reality of God’s love to him. He trusted the mercy of God when he repented, and his testimony was:

“I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”                           Psalm 13:6

 

I can assure you that God has not forgotten you. If you have erred from the narrow path, He may simply be waiting for you to come back to Him. You have to come in genuine repentance and embrace His love, through His Son Jesus Christ. When you do this today, you will see how near the Almighty God is to you, and how concerned He is about your wellbeing.

 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, forgive my foolishness for every time I thought You had forgotten me. Help me Lord, to remove every barrier of sin that may have separated me from Your love, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 17-21.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 21:  ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME.

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.

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.

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.

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.
