Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 24TH, 2022.


THEME: LEARN FROM YOUR COLLEAGUES AND MATES


MEMORISE: 

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 

1 Thessalonians 5:11 


READ: Colossians 3:16 

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


MESSAGE:

There are people who may appear to be your mates, but many of them could actually know a lot more than you do. Thus, whenever you discover such people, submit yourself to learn from them. By the time you begin applying the lessons you have learnt, it would be to your advantage.


For example, if you notice that one of your colleagues seems to get along with people easily and that gives him or her some advantage, take that fellow as your case study on how to get along with people. Begin to study him or her closely so that you can gain tips on getting along well with people too. When you need the fellow to explain something about how they get along with people to you, set pride aside and ask. Once you notice something at which someone else is better, it does not matter if the fellow is your mate or even junior to you - learn it from him or her. The Bible does not only encourage elders teaching the younger ones, it also encourages that contemporaries learn from one another and even that you can learn from your juniors. Just ensure that what you learn is in line with the word of God. Our Bible reading today instructs us to allow the word of God to dwell richly in us for the purpose of teaching and admonishing one another.


I learnt how to pray - not from my Father-in-the-Lord or any of my Bible teachers then, but from a brother in the church. I wanted to pray for long hours, but whenever l started praying, after 5 - 10 minutes, l would have nothing  to say again. I noticed that this brother used to pray for very long, so l decided to always take a position very close to him whenever he was praying. I noticed that for one-hour prayer time, for example, this brother would praise God for about 50-55 minutes and then make his request in 5-10 minutes. As l learned this, l also started practicing it up until today, that is the format that my prayers take. What you learn from that person you may consider your contemporary or even junior to you may be one of your greatest strengths in the future.


ACTION POINT

List out things that you know one or two people around you are better at than you, and start to learn from them.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 65-67


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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: THURSDAY JUNE 23RD, 2022.


THEME: LEARN FROM YOUR SUPERIORS


MEMORISE: 

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 

Philippians 4:9


READ: 2 Kings 3:11 -12

11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.


12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.


MESSAGE

There is something l have come to discover about some of our youths these days: it is that they despise people who have gone ahead of them just because those people are not educated as they are or do not understand modern technology like they do. You see, you may know all the theories that were taught in school, but you don't have as much practical experience as the elders who have gone ahead of you. You may understand modern technology more than they, but they have ancient wisdom that cannot be bought with money. When you see someone who has gone ahead of you in any field, make sure you give him or her the deserved respect. 


One of the major secrets of my successes is that l learn from everyone who l know has been in ministry before me. There is always something to learn from someone who has already walked through the path that you are seeking to take. James 5:10 says:


Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.


Of a truth, the younger can become more successful than the older, but the younger must not, because of his or her success, despise the older. If God makes you more successful than those who have been in that field longer than you, you are only enjoying mercy and grace. Be careful not to despise them because God can withdraw the grace from you; rather, learn from their wealth of experience. God may have stopped speaking to Eli, but Samuel still needed the older prophet to, teach him how to, hear from God. Though God told Samuel that he had rejected Eli and chosen him in his place, Samuel never despised Eli. This contributed immensely to, the success of his ministry.


There is a lot that these elders know which can be of great benefit to you on your journey through life. I remember when Pa S.G. Elton was alive and l, was just beginning in ministry. I made it a point of duty to visit him every 2 weeks and spend quality time with him, just soaking up his wealth of experience. Now he is gone, with all the knowledge. Don't let the knowledge of the elders around you go to waste; honor them, learn all you can from them while they are still with you.


KEY POINT

Always be on the lookout for what you can learn from those who have gone ahead of you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 61- 64


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 1: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

1 All to Jesus, I surrender, 

All to Thee I freely give; 

I will ever love and trust 

Him, 

In Your presence daily live.  


Refrain

I surrender all, I surrender all: 

All to Thee, My blessed Savior 

I surrender all  


2 All to Jesus, I surrender, 

Humbly at His feet I bow; 

Worldly pleasures all forsaken, 

Take me, Jesus, take me now.


3 All to Jesus, I surrender Lord, I give myself to Thee; 

Fill me with Your love and power, 

Let Your blessing fall on me.  


4 All to Jesus I surrender, 

Now I feel the sacred flame 

O the joy of full salvation! 

Glory, glory, to Your name!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 22ND, 2022.


THEME: WHAT DO YOU WANT?


MEMORISE:  

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 

Matthew 6:10


READ: Exodus 33:18 -23

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.


19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.


20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.


21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:


22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:


23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.


MESSAGE

The question in our topic for today is one that invariably every human being will be asked at one point or another. Some people have already been asked this question before and their answer made them lose an opportunity that would have changed their lives forever. Your answer to this question, depending on who is asking you, can change your life for the better if you give the correct response. When God told Solomon to say what he wanted in 2 Chronicles 1:6-7, he asked for wisdom to lead  God's people right. That answer made him end up as the richest and wisest king in the world, ever. When Elisha was asked this same question, he said he wanted a double portion of the spirit of Elijah and he got it. What do you want? Esau wanted food; he got it, but he who could have become the nation of Israel missed that great destiny. Gehazi wanted money, he got it, but he who could have gotten a double portion of the anointing on Elisha died a leper. Jeremiah 45:5 says:

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, l will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will l give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.


Ecclesiastes 1:2 says all these things are vanity upon vanity. Jesus Christ told us what to seek in Matthew 6:33:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 


Seek God, seek that His kingdom be established here on earth. Jeremiah 26:13 says if you seek Him, you will find Him. Let your yearning be for Him and Him alone, then all the things that others are chasing will be chasing you. Seek Him in worship, seek Him through Bible study, seek Him in prayers.


Set your love upon God. Love Him with all your heart, soul and mind as Jesus instructed us in Matthew 22:37 and see if you will ever lack any good thing.


REFLECTION 

How desperate do you yearn for God?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 58-60


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN12: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1 My faith looks up to thee,

thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine.

Now hear me while I pray;

take all my guilt away;

O let me from this day

be wholly thine!


2 May thy rich grace impart

strength to my fainting heart;

my zeal inspire!

As thou hast died for me,

oh, may my love to thee

pure, warm, and changeless be,

a living fire!


3 While life's dark maze I tread,

and griefs around me spread,

be thou my guide.

Bid darkness turn to day,

wipe sorrow's tears away,

nor let me ever stray

from thee aside.


4 When ends life's transient dream,

when death's cold, sullen stream

shall o'er me roll,

blest Savior, then, in love,

fear and distrust remove;

O bear me safe above,

a ransomed soul!
