Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY JULY 10TH, 2022.


THEME: WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE HONEST


MEMORISE: 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Philippians 4:8 


READ: Colossians 3:9

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 


MESSAGE

Philippians 4:8 says that we should think on honest things. Colossians 3:9 tells us that lying is one of the attributes and deeds of the old, sinful man. When you become a child of God, all things are to become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). That means you must stop being dishonest.


To be honest is to be free of deceit. When you are honest, people can trust you and put sensitive things in your hands because they know you will handle them with honesty. Joseph rose to prominence everywhere he went because he was honest. He was so honest that Potiphar left all he had in his hands.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored. 

Genesis 39:6


You don't put all your life's possession in the hands of a dishonest person. Even when Joseph found himself in prison, he remained honest and became the leader of all the prisoners. Some people use the excuse of their negative circumstances to become dishonest. Such excuses can make a person miss out on God's plan for him or her. If Joseph had stopped being honest in prison, he would not have become the prime minister of Egypt. Sometimes, the situation is put there by God to test if you will remain honest. If you fail the test, you miss the great destiny that He has in store for you.


Honesty is a major factor that will be considered before you are given anything sensitive to handle. The contractor that is dishonest with a project today will not be given another one tomorrow. The staff that was dishonest wth some thousands of naira yesterday will not be asked to handle a project worth millions of naira tomorrow. Dishonesty hinders progress. Proverbs 11:3 says: 

The integrity of the upright shall guide them but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.


God sees dishonest people as an abomination (Proverbs 12:22).


KEY POINT

Think only on honest things; don't let lies ever come out of you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 106-107


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.

THEME: WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE 


MEMORISE: 

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 

John 17:17 


READ: Philippians 4:8 

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.


MESSAGE

Your mind is the seat of your soul. Whatever you think or meditate on with your mind gets into your heart and eventually determines the kind of person that you become. That is why Proverbs 23:7 says:

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...


The quality of your life is determined by what you allow to get into your heart through your mind. This is why the Bible says in Proverbs 4:23: 

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.


This is why it is important that you only think on the things advised in our Bible reading today. Anything that is correct in every form may  be considered to be true. For example, if you see a caterpillar and you call it a butterfly, that is the truth. The fact that you don't see its wing does not mean that it does not have any. The fact that it is crawling today does not mean that it cannot fly. It may look like a worm now, but it is far more than that. Likewise, you may look like you are poor now, but that is not the truth about you. The truth about you is that God will supply all your Need's according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).  It may look like you are sick now, but think on the truth in God's word which says you have already been healed by Jesus' stripes (l Peter 2:24).


From our memory verse for today, we see that the word of God is the truth and John 1:14 says that Jesus is the Word. This therefore means that we must always meditate on the word of God. Anything outside the word of God is a lie and you must not allow it dwell in your mind. The Truth says that you will be the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13), so never believe that you are a failure. The Truth says that no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), so never believe that anyone can harm you. Read your Holy Bible regularly so that you can know the truth, then meditate on that truth you know.


ACTION POINT 

Think only on the word of God, not on the circumstances and situations around you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 104- 105


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

DATE: FRIDAY JULY 8TH, 2022.


THEME: TOP UP YOUR FUEL TANK 


MEMORISE: 

And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 

Mark 6:31 


READ: Mark 6:30 -32 

30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.


31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.


32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.


MESSAGE

One major thing about how a car works is the fact that cars need a constant supply of fuel to keep running. It does not matter how much fuel is in the tank; after it has run for a while, the fuel will be exhausted, and then it would not be able to run until the tank is refilled. Similarly, there is always a need for you to refill after you have given out so much. After expending a lot of energy, you need to go aside, rest and eat to regain strength. In the memory verse for today, Jesus told the disciples to go aside, and rest after their strenuous evangelism.


The reason many men of God are becoming less effective is that they don't rest. There are many people always thronging them because of anointing, but if they don't get adequate rest, they would break down. You may be very anointed, but you are still flesh and blood. Even Jesus Christ was so tired that He went to the inner part of the ship where no one could disturb Him and slept through a storm (Mark 4:37-38).


Sometimes, you also need to refill your anointing tank. After many major miracles that Jesus did, He went aside to the mountain to pray (Matthew 14:16-23). I told one of my sons one day to take things easy because he was attending so many programmes with little time for him to refill. He looked at me in a funny way, as if to say, "But l see you also working just as hard". I had to point his attention to the fact that l have only very few engagements in a certain period of every year, especially when we fast in the Redeemed Christian Church of God. You don't see me traveling during these periods. If l must minister somewhere, it would be close to my base because l am refilling my tank. If you don't refill the anointing and it goes dry, the people will notice and then you would realize that it is not really you they love, it is the anointing you carry.


Every car mechanic will tell you that it is dangerous to run your car on an empty tank. If you do, the fuel pump would suck up some debris and that can cause serious damage to your car. Don't run around empty. When you don't take time to refill your energy or anointing tank, you are endangering your life.


ACTION POINT 

Always take out time to refill your tank, whether it is knowledge, anointing, energy or whatever you expend.

HYMN 3: DEEPER DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

1 Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus

Daily let me go;

Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,

More of grace to know.


Refrain

Oh, deeper yet, I pray,

And higher ev'ry day,

And wiser, blessed Lord,

In Thy precious, holy word.


2 Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

Take me deeper still,

Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,

And His perfect will. 


3 Deeper, deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,

Deeper let me go!

Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,

Let me fruitful grow. 


4 Deeper, higher, ev'ry day in Jesus,

Till all conflict past,

Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image

Perfected at last.
