Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY APRIL 27, 2022.

THEME: QUICK AND POWERFUL

MEMORISE: 

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Hebrews 4:12 

READ: Luke 5:17 

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

MESSAGE

Hebrews 4:12 says the word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. It says it can separate between joints and marrows. This implies that the word of God can perform surgical procedures that even the best among surgeons dare not attempt. An elderly man came to me several years ago, asking me to pray for the success of the surgery he needed to have to cure him of prostate cancer. I said to him, “Why don’t  we pray that there will be no need for a surgery?” He laughed and said, “Your are a young boy; you will not understand. Just pray that God will guide the hands of the surgeon”. I said, “Sir, I am not going to pray that kind of prayer; I’m going to pray that my Father will heal you”. He responded that I should pray whichever way I wanted as he would still go for the surgery anyway. On the day of the surgery, a final check by the surgeon revealed that he had been healed and there was no need for the procedure anymore. Psalm 107:20 says:

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

The word of God is quick and powerful enough to heal you or any of your loved ones of any sickness.

In Luke 7:6-7, the Centurion said he knew that if Jesus would just send a word to his servant, the man would be healed. The Lord sent the word and his servant was indeed healed. This Centurion gave us a template on how we can get a word from God. Firstly, he knew the Word Himself and then he approached Him in faith. Do you know Jesus Christ, the Word of God? How long do you spend studying the Bible? How much of the word do you memorize? How do you expect the word you do not know or regard to work for you? Get to know God’s by studying the Bible regularly.

The Centurion relied on the word with so much faith that Jesus Christ said He had never seen such in Israel before. When the word says in 1 Peter 2:24 that you are healed by His stripes, do you believe it? When the word says in Deuteronomy 7:15 that none of the diseases that fall on the Egyptians (unbelievers) will come to you, do you believe it? If you truly believe in the word of God, then your actions will align with your faith (James 2 :17).Whatever challenge you may be faced with today, I decree; you will be victorious in Jesus’ name.

 

KEY POINT

Study the word of God and believe it, then it will work for you.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 28: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1 When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 

2 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey. 

3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 

4 Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY APRIL 26TH 2022

THEME: FOLLOW JESUS CLOSELY III

MEMORISE: 

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 

Proverbs 1:10

READ: Proverbs 1:10 -19

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

MESSAGE

In continuation of our enquiry from yesterday into why Peter denied Jesus, let us look more closely at why he even chose to sit with those who were persecuting Jesus.

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

Mark 14:54

Peter sat with these people because he wanted the warmth of the fire which they had lit. Many times, the reason Christians stay in the congregation of the dead and end up denying Jesus is the warmth they get when they sit with them. The reason some people cannot stop conducting business with partners who make them deny Jesus is that they don’t want to lose certain benefits they get from those partners. Jesus however, said in Matthew 16 24:

…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

The one who will not deny Jesus must first deny himself or herself. If you are not willing to deny yourself of certain ‘benefits’ you get when you spend time with unbelievers, you would end up denying Jesus like Peter did.

Nothing is more important than the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for you, so you should never put any benefit above identifying with Him. Remember, Jesus said in Matthew 10:33:

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

If those ‘benefits’ are more important to you than Jesus Christ, then He will deny you before His Father on the last day and the people you are trying to please will not be there to save you from the pains and agonies of hell.

KEY POINT

No benefit is worth you denying Jesus your Lord and Saviour.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 26: WE ARE NEVER NEVER WEARY OF THE GRAND OLD SONG

1. We are never, never weary 

of the grand old song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We can sing it loud as ever, 

with our faith more strong;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Refrain

O, the children of the Lord have 

a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright, 

and our souls are on the wing;

We are going by and by 

to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

2. We are lost amid the 

rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinions 

to the hills above:

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

3. We are going to a palace 

that is built of gold;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Where the King in all His 

splendor we shall soon behold

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

4. There we’ll shout redeeming 

mercy in a glad, new song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

There we’ll sing the praise of Jesus 

with the blood washed throng;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

THEME: FOLLOW JESUS CLOSELY II

MEMORISE:  

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 

Psalms 26:5

READ: 2 Corinthians 6:14 -18 

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

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

MESSAGE

In continuation of our enquiry from yesterday into why Peter denied Jesus, let us look at Mark 14:54 again:

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

When Peter followed Jesus from afar into the palace of the high priest, he chose to sit with the servants. Who were these servants? Mark 14:65 gives us an insight into the kind of people they were:

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

These servants were the same ones striking Jesus with the palms of their hands and Peter was sitting with them. In Proverbs 21:16, the Bible talks about the congregation of the dead. This is a congregation of people that do things against the will of God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were able to stand strong, refusing to deny their God because they were in the company of fellow believers and not unbelievers. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says:

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

If you spend a lot of time with people who are always talking about the latest clothes and televisions shows, gossiping about others, planning on how to commit sin right there in front of you. The more of such sinful and worldly conversations you expose yourself to, the weaker your commitment to Christ would be. Eventually, you would find yourself doing things that you have earlier vowed never to do, leave the congregation of the dead. 2 Corinthians 6:14 instructs you thus:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?

 

REFLECTION

Are your current friends and associates bringing you closer to Jesus or compelling you to deny Him, every now and then?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 24-1Chronicles 1

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 6: HO MY COMRADES SEE THE SIGNAL 

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 

Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to heaven, 

“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing, 

Satan leading on,

Mighty ones around us falling, 

courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving, 

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we 

triumph over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages, 

but our help is near,

Onward comes our great Commander, 

cheer, my comrades, cheer!

DATE: SUNDAY 24 APRIL 2022

THEME: FOLLOW JESUS CLOSELY I.

MEMORISE:  

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 

Mark 14:54

READ: Mark 14:50 -70

50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

MESSAGE 

Many churchgoers these days are merely paying lip service when they call themselves Christians. If you were to really check, you would discover that instead of carrying their cross to follow Jesus closely, many are following Him from afar. The moment things get a little bit tough, they deny Him. Peter was an ardent follower of Christ; he was also very vocal about his beliefs, thus he was the last person one would have expected would deny Christ. We need to really enquire about what happened that day in Mark 14.

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 

Mark 14:54

 

Take note of the first clause in the passage above- Peter followed Jesus from afar. How closely are you following Jesus now? So many Christian are following Jesus from afar, hence they deny him over and over again. Peter had boasted of how impossible it was for him to deny jesus in Mark 14: 27-31, but in Mark 14: 54 he followed Jesus from afar and ended up denying him. Why did he follow Jesus from afar? This is because he did not want to be associated with the persecution of Jesus Christ. Are you also running away from the persecution of Jesus? You don't talk like a Christian in the office because you don't want anyone to tag you with Christ.

You go for business meeting, and even though you are prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray before the meeting starts, you subdue the prompting because you don't want the people you are meeting with to know how seriously you take God. You don't preach the gospel to those you interact with daily because you don't want them to start calling you a Christian fanatic.

When you let them know from the onset that you are a child of God, there are deals and suggestions that they would never bring your way. On the other hand, if you are following Jesus form afar, they will bring those temptations to you because they have never known you to be serious about your faith. In Church, when you are engulfed in the presence of God and boasting that you will never deny him like Peter did, ask yourself, "When I get out there in the world, would I be following Christ closely or would I be following Jesus from afar?

KEY POINT

The only way you will not deny Jesus is if you are following Him closely and everyone can easily associate you with Him.
