Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SUNDAY JUNE 26TH, 2022.


THEME: GOD WILL HELP YOU


MEMORISE:  

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 

Isaiah 41:10


READ: Isaiah 41:10 -14

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.


11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.


12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.


13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.


14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.


MESSAGE

The best thing that could happen to anyone is for God to decide to help him or her. When God decides to help you, there is nothing that can stand in the way of you fulfilling destiny. When it comes to resources, He said in Haggai 2:8:


The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.


He also has influence in the highest places possible as we see in Proverbs 21:1


The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.


If not for God in my life, l wouldn't be who l am today. When l gained admission to, llesha Grammar School, we were to pay a deposit of 2 pounds, but my parents didn't have it. One way or the other, God provided and l, resumed in the school. By the end of the first year, almost everything in the house had been sold. By the time l had done 3 years in secondary school, there was nothing more to sell.


Just around that time, God brought somebody who had just returned from London to my village. Everybody went to celebrate with him. While everybody was surrounding him and rejoicing, he just turned in my direction and said "Hello, little boy". We began to talk. At some point, he noted that my command of the English Language was very good and l told him l as a student in Ilesha Grammar School. He asked what class l was in and l told him l was supposed to go to Form 4 but there was no money. He arranged for the school fees for my 4th year. After that, my mother went back to the principal and said, "Now he has done 4 years; please give him his testimonial so he can go and teach". The man said, "Out of 5 years, he has already done 4. He only has one more year to go; you can't withdraw him now". One way or the other l finished secondary school, gained admission to the University and got on the path of fulfilling my destiny, because God really helped me.


I pray for you today; God will move everything that needs to be moved for you to fulfill your destiny, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT

Father, you helped Pastor ADEBOYE. You are no respecter of persons: please help me too.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 70-71


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1 God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.


2 Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defence is sure.


3 Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God,

To endless years the same.


4 A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.


5  Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.


6 O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while life shall last,

And our eternal home.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY JUNE 25TH, 2022.


THEME: LEARN FROM YOUR SUBORDINATES


MEMORISE:  

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Proverbs 1: 7


READ: 2 Peter 3:14-16

14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.


15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;


16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.


MESSAGE

Don't ever see anybody as too small to counsel you when you know that they have the knowledge that can move you to your next level. We see from our memory verse today that only fools despise wisdom and instruction.


I remember when social media was becoming popular; it was my youngest son whom l asked for tutoring. He was my teacher in that area of life. When l was in secondary school, l had some challenges in English Language. In those days, for the Cambridge exam (now known as Senior Secondary School Certificate Exam), the British said that it did not matter if you got an A1 in every other subject; if you failed English, then you would fail all. I was just a village boy, nobody in my family could speak a word of English, so l knew l needed help. There was a boy in school who grew up in United Kingdom, so he had a grasp of the language, but he was my junior. I went to meet this junior boy, and told him that he was to start teaching me English. I said whenever l had money, l would buy him groundnuts. He taught me English Language and l passed the exam. On the score sheet, there was no mention of the fellow who taught me, no one cared; as long as l knew what l was supposed to know, l, passed the examination and moved on with my education.


Don't ever feel too proud to learn from your subordinates. If we are to be honest, these young ones who are just coming up have tools that we did not have in our time. They have more access to knowledge than we do. If we learn the latest trends from them and then combine this knowledge  with our wealth of experience, we will go really far. Believe me honestly, it does not matter who teaches you; all that matters is that you get the knowledge you need to move ahead in life. In our Bible reading for today, though Peter had been in ministry before Paul, he acknowledge that Paul had Been given a wisdom by God to, preach deep truths on salvation. Put your pride aside and learn from even your subordinates so that you can continue to go higher and higher.


KEY POINT

Don't despise the wisdom you need to succeed just because it is domiciled in your subordinates.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 68-69


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 


HYMN 25: TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE

1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life our redemption to win,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.


Refrain: 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice;

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.


2 Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.


3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

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.
