Open Heavens Prayer Points

PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS: 


(Friday, May 27, 2022) 


REBUKE NOT AN ELDER 


Special Note.


These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye,. but by one of his numerous disciples, of Christ, who was inspired and mandated by the Holy Spirit, effective, January 1st, 2015, to start writing these prayer points, based on the Open Heavens Daily Devotional, authored by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.


Some of the prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.


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 strengthening our elders in the Church, who, despite their age, are still up, and are doing exploits for You and Your kingdom.


2.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me; let Your mercy prevail over any judgement of sin in my life, in Jesus' name.


3.Father, please, uphold our elders by Your right hand of righteousness till the end, in Jesus' name.


4.Father, help the youths of today, to refrain from disrespecting the elders but to accord them the honour that they deserve, in Jesus' name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY MAY 27TH, 2022.


THEME: REBUKE NOT AN ELDER


MEMORISE: 

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;  

1Timothy 5:1 


READ: Proverbs 30:11 -14

11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.


12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.


13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.


14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.


MESSAGE

Sadly, the generation referred to in the Bible reading for today - a generation that curses their own fathers, is living right now in these present times. This is a generation that is puffed up with pride, believing that they know more than the elders; they even call themselves ‘woke’. I am not talking about this because I am an elder myself, but rather because I love you and if I keep quiet, I would be a wicked father watching his children heading for destruction. Indeed, although I have been criticized too many times, I must still say the truth as God has given it to us in the Bible.


Our memory verse today is a clear and divine instruction showing how the younger generation must honour elders. Many youths however, have various excuses for disrespecting and insulting eldlers. One of such excuses they give is that no one is perfect. They believe that even an elder can be wrong and corrected accordingly. That is correct; an elder can indeed be wrong, but while the Bible does not prohibit you from correcting him or her, it clearly says you should intreat such as a father or mother and not rebuke. When you criticize anyone in public, that is a rebuke (1 Timothy 5:20); it is against the word of God when done to elders. If an elder has done something that you think is wrong, you could send him or her a message or write a letter stating politely what you think would have been correct; he or she would at least take cognizance of what you have said and make adjustments where necessary.


Also, in the Church, while the  youths may feel they have a lot of knowledge and are very agile, you must still give honour to the elders. You shouldn’t just set them aside. You may have a lot of knowledge, but they are more versed in discerning the will of God. They have walked the path that you are walking and have a robust wealth of experience that you can gain a lot from. Give them the honour that they deservce. In fact, the Bible says that you should give them double honour.


Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1 Timothy 5:17.

THEME: PRAYERS FOR ELDERS


MEMORISE: 

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 

Proverbs 16:31 


READ: Titus 2:1 -5

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:


2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.


3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;


4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,


5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.


MESSAGE

1. Father, thank You for our elders. Thank You for preserving and keeping them strong and healthy all these years. We are grateful Lord that we have godly elders to look up to.


2. Father, please keep our elders to a good old age. Don’t let them spend their old age in sickness or sorrow. Let them have peace even in their old age, in Jesus’ name.


3. Father, please forgive our elders for every bad seed they may have sown when they were younger. Please Lord, cancel every negative harvest of such bad seeds, in Jesus’ name.


4. Father, we pray for wisdom for our elders to advise us and teach us correctly when we go to them with our challenges, in Jesus’ name.


5. Lord, as You backed the blessing of Isaac on Jacob, when our elders bless us, back up their words and let them come to pass, in Jesus’ name.


6. Father, please don’t let our elders become redundant. Let their grace and anointing increase as they grow older. Continue to use them even until the end, in Jesus’ name,


7. Father, give our elders the spiritual sensitivity they need to be great coverings for us. Let them sense ahead of time, whatever the devil may be planning and warn us about it so that we don’t crash, in Jesus’ name.


8. Father, I pray particularly for the elders in my family; whatever we need to make them comfortable, please provide for us in abundance, in Jesus’ name.


9. Father, let all the good prayers and wishes of our elders over us be fulfilled in Jesus’ name. let us, the younger ones, always bring them joy, in Jesus’ name.


10. Father, for every elder who is lonely, please send them company that will love them and take care of them. Let their family members not be able to rest until they begin to take care of their aged ones, in Jesus’ name.


11. Father, protect our elders against people who would try to take advantage of them because of their age. Expose anyone presenting false investments, false medication and the likes in order to steal from our elders. Do not permit our elders to be exploited, in Jesus’ name.


12. Your personal prayer points for the elders in your family and community.

THEME: THE SEVEN SEALS VII


MEMORISE: 

And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Revelation 7:14b


READ: Revelation 7:1 -17

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.


2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,


3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.


4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.


5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.


6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.


7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.


8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.


9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;


10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.


11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,


12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.


13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?


14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.


16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.


17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.


Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.


2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.


3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.


4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.


5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.


MESSAGE

While many people will die from the havoc caused by the sixth seal, some will still survive. Many Christians who determine not to bow to the Anti-Christ will be there too. It is these people who will be saved by the angel in the Bible reading for today before the seventh seal is opened.

At last, after all they would have gone through, they will come out of the great tribulation, clothed with robes before the throne of God. They will be joining those of us that had already gone with the rapture.


For those who will still be left behind on earth, they will experience the vengeance of God for the saints that were persecuted and martyred.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thundering, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 8:4-5


These people will experience the worst of tribulations.


Now I want you to spend good time praying today. Below is the list of prayer points:

1. Father, thank You for saving me. Thank You that I am a Christian and for the hope of reigning with You in glory.


2. Lord, as You prayed for Peter, please pray for me. Don’t let me fall into the hands of the devil,  in Jesus’ name.


3. Father, I pray for all my family members and loved ones; please don’t let them miss the rapture, let them all know You and live holy.


4. Father, please give me the boldness to preach the gospel to the unsaved around me. Don’t let anyone around me miss the rapture, in Jesus’ name.


5. Father, please raise missionaries around the world who will win souls to Your Kingdom. Let everyone know the danger ahead if they don’t repent. 


Please Lord, send Your Holy Spirit to help convict them to repentance, in Jesus’ name.


KEY POINT

I pray that I will see you in heaven after the rapture in Jesus name.

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

but our help is near,

Onward comes our great Commander,

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: TUESDAY MAY 24TH, 2022.


THEME: THE SEVEN SEALS VI


MEMORISE: 

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 

Matthew 24:29 


READ: Revelation 6:12 -17

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;


13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.


14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.


15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;


16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:


17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


MESSAGE

As the sixth seal was broken, the earth shook. The Bible says there was a great earthquake and the sun became black like a sackcloth of hair. On that day, the Bible says the moon will be as blood and the stars of heaven will fall unto the earth. Heaven will roll away like a scroll and the earthquake will move entire mountains and islands out of their place. Many prophets of old, even Jesus Christ, prophesied about the day (Joel 2:31, Isaiah 34:4, Zephaniah 1:14, Matthew 24:29).


What John saw as stars falling to the earth could be either of two things. Many Bible Scholars say it could be wars of missiles which are already being prepared for by some super-powers. That is the war they say will be fought will missiles. When he missiles are falling, it will look like stars falling, it will look like stars are falling from the sky. It could also be that John saw real stars falling to the earth. If you do a little research, you would see that we have had cases in the past where asteroids fell from space to the earth. 


When asteroids are falling, they usually burn as they fall and burn out before they get to the earth. Some big and some harmful asteroids have hit the earth in the past. Now, whether it is missiles or actual space elements falling onto the earth, they will be so many that anyone who looks to the sky will see the sky as if it is rolling away. At the same time, there will be such a great earthquake that mountains and islands will be displaced. May you not be on earth when it happens, in the name of Jesus.


In verses 15-17, we see that great men, including kings, great and rich men, captains of industry, mighty men as well as bondmen will go to hide in dens and caves. This tells you straightaway that the positions that you are pursuing now will mean absolutely nothing at the end. At the end, titles will not matter. The poor and the rich will burn in hell together if they don’t repent. The madam of the house and the maid will be right beside each other burning in hell if they both don’t repent. The C.E.O. and the gateman will both be suffering from God’s wrath if they don’t make it to heaven. A word is enough for the wise.


KEY POINT

Forget about all the care of this world and focus on making heaven.

I will ever love and trust Him,

In His presence daily live.

I surrender all,

I surrender all.

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

Humbly at His feet I bow,

Worldly pleasures all forsaken;

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

Now I feel the sacred flame.

Oh, the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory to His name!
