Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY JULY 3RD, 2022.


THEME: TO DO AND TO TEACH


MEMORISE: 

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 

Acts 1:1 


READ: Matthew 23:23 -28

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.


24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.


25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.


26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.


27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.


28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.


MESSAGE 

From the memory verse of today, we see the pattern Jesus observed when He was on earth. He began both to do and to teach. Doing comes before teaching. You must have been doing whatever it is that you want to teach before you teach it to anybody. If you have not done it yet, you don't have any authority to teach it. You see, teaching the word of God is not something to joke with at all. It is easy to memorize powerful sermons of notable men of God and deliver them smoothly. Your audience will most likely clap for you, but you have been marked for greater judgment in heaven if you do not practice what you are preaching.

James 3:1 says:

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.


The word 'master' used in the Bible verse above essentially refers to 'teachers' as captured in the New King James version. Whether you memorised the message you are preaching to others or not, whether the people clap for you and talk about how powerful your message is or not does not matter. If you are teaching the word, your judgement will be stricter than that of others. This is why you must first be doing the word before you start teaching it.


You have no right to rebuke someone for their disobedience to God's word when you yourself are disobedient to it (2 Corinthians 10:6).


The reason many children are disobedient to parents is that they see that their parents don't practice what they preach. I have always said it: the major reason you see many Pastor's children becoming wayward is that what the Pastor preaches on the altar is different from what he does at home. When you have removed the log in your eye, then you can try to remove the speck in the eye of someone else (Matthew 7:3). Practice what you preach. Do it first, then you can teach it to whoever you want to teach it to. In our Bible reading today, Jesus Christ says there would be great sorrow for those who do not practice what they preach.


KEY POINT 

Practice what you preach.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 87-88


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 


Hymn 14: NEARER MY GOD TO THEE


1. Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

E’en though it be a cross

That raiseth me.

Still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!


2. Though like the wanderer,

The sun gone down,

Darkness be over me,

My rest a stone,

Yet in my dreams I’d be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!


3. There let the way appear,

Steps unto heav’n;

All that thou sendest me,

In mercy giv’n;

Angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!


4. Then with my waking thoughts

Bright with thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel I’ll raise;

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!


5. Or if, on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upward I fly,

Still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY JULY 2ND, 2022.


THEME: IF OUR GOSPEL BE HID


MEMORISE: 

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 

2 Corinthians 4:5 


READ: 2 Corinthians 4:1 -7

1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;


2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.


3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:


4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.


6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.


7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.


MESSAGE

The Bible says it expressly that in the last days, many will be deceived by false prophets (Matthew 24:11).


Deception is when you present something that is fake with some attributes of the original, or you omit or remodel some truth into something completely different while ensuring that it still look like the original. There are many Preachers today who doctor the truth to fit the message that they personally want to passed without thinking about the consequences. What they don't know is that they have been recruited by the devil to spread wrong doctrines. l Timothy 4:1 says:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of Devils;


If people depart from the true faith of the Lord because of your message, then you are one of those spreading the doctrine of the devil. Always tell the whole truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't tell your congregation that because Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those in Christ, once they answer the altar call to surrender their lives to Jesus, they can continue committing sins and still be on their way to heaven. Add the rest of that verse to your message. The complete verse says: "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".

I John 3:6 says:

Whatsoever abide in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.


Thus the first part of Romans 8:1 means that those who will not be condemned are those who in Him don't sin and whoever sins has not even known Him at all. Don't lead people to hell with your fake doctrines. Don't tell them to disregard the Old testament and only pay attention to the New Testament when Jesus Christ clearly said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Speak the whole truth to everyone you have the opportunity to preach the gospel to.


KEY POINT 

Preach the message of Christ, not that of the devil.

2 I’ve a message full of love, Hallelujah!

A message, O my friend, for you.

’Tis a message from above, Hallelujah!

Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.


3 Life is offered unto you. Hallelujah!

Eternal life your soul shall have

If you’ll only look to Him. Hallelujah!

Look to Jesus, who alone can save.


4 I will tell you how I came, Hallelujah!

To Jesus when He made me whole:

’Twas believing on His name, Hallelujah!

I trusted and He saved my soul.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY JULY 1ST, 2022.


THEME: SLEEPING IN TRAINING?


MEMORISE: 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

1 Peter 5:8 


READ: Acts 20:7 -12

7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.


8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.


9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.


10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.


11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.


12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.


MESSAGE

Apostle Paul was preaching while a young man named Eutychus was sleeping. Our attention however is not on Paul but on Eutychus. Here was a greatly anointed man of God preaching and he was sleeping. It may look like something to judge him for, but there are many like Eutychus in the Church today. Many people go to the Church today and sleep throughout the service. They may not be closing their physical eyes, but their spiritual eyes are closed. Some workers are sleeping spiritually while the anointing is flowing. John 7:38-39 says:


He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


The rivers referred to in the Scripture above is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit flows like a river. When He is moving, if you are not conscious of His presence and paying attention, He will flow past you and you would miss your miracle. Anyone who saw Eutychus and the others leaving the service the next morning would have thought that they were blessed and fully charged spiritually, not knowing that some of them like Eutychus slept off during the meeting and were leaving just the same way that they came. This is why many people keep attending powerful crusades and life changing services but their lives have remained the same.


Sometimes, the organizers of these services are the ones who actually make it easy for people to sleep when they should be fellowshipping. When you decorate the Church and it look like art gallery, people would be appreciating the art rather than connecting with the Lord. The Church is a place of intimate fellowship with God so let the environment foster that more than anything else. That is why we decorate our Church auditoriums in The Redeemed Christian Church of God with Scriptures. Everywhere you turn, there is a Bible verse that will catch you attention because we want you to be focused on God and nothing else.


KEY POINT

Church services play a major role in equipping you for all-round success; don't sleep in training.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 79-82


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.

HYMN 20: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1. Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See his banners go!


Chorus:

Onward, Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.


2. At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory.

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.


3. Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the Saints have trod.

We are not divided;

All one body we:

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.


4. Onward, then, ye people;

Join our happy throng.

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honor

Unto Christ, the King.

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.
