Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY JULY 26TH, 2022.

THEME: ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD?

MEMORISE:  

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

John 10:14

READ: Galatians 3:21-26

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

MESSAGE

In Ephesians 5:1, the Bible says:

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.

Anyone who claims to be a child of God must also ensure that he or she behaves like God. If a child claims to belong to a father and he is loyal to another father, that would be deemed a bastard. This means that if you claim to be a child of God, you may need to check where you really stand. 1 John 3:9 says those who are born of God do not sin. Are you still sinning and feeling it is normal. A true child of God cannot consider sin to be normal. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:16:

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

What is this fruit? It is the fruit that proves to everyone that meets you that you have the Spirit of God living in you – the fruit of the Spirit. What fruits do you bear? Based on the fruits that you bear, whose child can your colleagues, family members and your neighbors say that you are? Do your colleagues bring offers to you to cheat your organization because they know you will consent to them? If yes, you are not bearing fruits for God but for the devil. Do you still repay evil with evil? That is not the character of God but the devil. You need to be clear whose child you are so you don’t fall into the category of a bastard. If you are a child of the devil, why claim to be a child of God? Why join the children of God to suffer your stomach when it is time to fast? Why not just go ahead and live for the devil all the way so when he is to be sent to the lake of fire you’ll go along with him? However, if you claim to really be a child of God, then your character should resemble that of Christ and everyone around you should testify that you resemble your Father in heaven.

On the last day, Jesus will sift the shaft away from the wheat. He will separate the bsastards from His real children. This is because, on the last day, He will tell some people “I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity” (Luke 13:27). If you are indeed a child of God, you will be living a holy life.

REFLECTION

Take a moments to inspect your life right now. In what areas have you not been behaving like God? Repent and start to behave like your Father.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 3-5

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 10: JESUS MY LORD MY GOD MY ALL

1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

hear me, and from thy dwelling place

pour down the riches of thy grace.

Refrain:

Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;

O make me love thee more and more.

2 Jesus, too late I thee have sought;

how can I love thee as I ought?

And how extol thy matchless fame,

the glorious beauty of thy name? 

3 Jesus, what didst thou find in me

that thou hast dealt so lovingly?

How great the joy that thou hast brought,

so far exceeding hope or thought! 

4 Jesus, of thee shall be my song;

to thee my heart and soul belong;

all that I have or am is thine,

and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Ade

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY JULY 25TH, 2022.

THEME: HE WILL RETURN

MEMORISE: 

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 

Luke 12:37 

Romans 13:11 -14

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

MESSAGE

Many years ago, when I just became born again and began to seriously serve the Lord, the message of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was preached often. It was so rampant that we had to beg the University students to continue with their education; after all, Jesus said "occupy till I come" (Luke 19:13).The Yoruba Christians had a common greeting amongst themselves that says “Eku afojusona ipada Jesu Kristi” meaning “Well done as you look forward to the return of Jesus Christ”. Today however, there are very few messages that reminds people of the Lord’s return. People-pleasing sermons have taken over the pulpit. You would hardly see any Christians living in expectations of the Lord’s return.

A man who is preparing for the Lord’s return will never maltreat his wife. A wife who knows the Lord will return suddenly will respect her husband. An employee who is expecting the Lord’s return will not cheat his or her employer. A preacher who is preparing for the Lord’s return will not withhold the truth from the people of God in the congregation. Every child of God who is truly serious with his walk with the Lord will avoid anything and everything that could hold him or her back from going with the Lord. Whether we like it or not, the Lord will return. If you are a minister of God, you have the responsibility to keep warning God’s sheep, whom He placed in your care, to keep watching for the return of the Lord. If you, as a minister, are not preparing, it will be difficult for your flock to prepare.

There has never been a time when the message of the Lord had been needful. The world is in serious chaos, yet, millions of God’s children are sleeping. In any case, Jesus Christ already spoke about what is happening in the world today: that many will sleep (Matthew 13:25). It is my prayer that you will not sleep the sleep of death in Jesus’ name.

On the last day, only the faithful of God will raptured. No matter how deep the world sleeps, Jesus Christ will still return. Therefore, you had better stop playing around and begin to live holy. I have done my duty by telling you the truth, God will not hold me responsible for not telling you. Where you will end up is now left to you.

PRAYER POINT

Heavenly Father, please help me not to sleep the sleep of death. Keep me awake to watch and pray until You return.

BIBLES IN ONE YEAR: Proverb 1-2

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 6: HO MY COMRADES SEE THE SIGNAL 

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 

Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to heaven, 

“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing, 

Satan leading on,

Mighty ones around us falling, 

courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving, 

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we 

triumph over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages, 

but our help is near,

Onward comes our great Commander, 

cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 24TH, 2022.

THEME: VISA TO HEAVEN

MEMORISE:  

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 

Matthew 5:8

READ: Psalms 24:3 -5

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

MESSAGE

From the memory verse, we see straightaway that the visa to heaven is a pure heart. The state of your heart determines whether you will go to heaven or not. This because your words and actions will be based on the state of your heart. Matthew 12:34 says:

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew 5:24 says that if you look at a woman to lust after her, you have committed adultery already. The same is true for women. Leviticus 17:11 says that the life of an animal is in its blood. The heart is the organ that pumps blood into the body: this means that the heart is the seat of life. Keep your heart diligently for indeed, out of it comes the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).

When you become born again, your bloodline changes. You are now from the bloodline of God. Your heart therefore becomes brand new. This is why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says when you become born again, you are now a new creature. In Ezekiel 36:26, the Lord says He will give you a new heart. With this new heart, you have a new life flowing within you – the life of Christ Himself. 1 John 3:9 says:

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born God.

If you are born of God, your heart now pumps the life of Jesus into your body, so you cannot commit sin. This is why I wonder at the doctrine of the ‘extreme grace’ preachers who say you can become born again and still continue sinning. If you are still permitting sin in your life, don’t deceive yourself, you don’t have the life of Christ in you. Holiness is not a doctrine of the Old Testament, it is the lifestyle and nature of children of God, whether in the Old Testament or not. Yesterday, in this devotional, we discussed holiness and we did not make any reference to any Old Testament Scripture; all the Scriptures were from the New Testament. Don’t let anyone deceive you with false doctrines of grace coexisting with sin. Without holiness, no man can see God.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to keep my heart pure at all times.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 146- 150

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE  

HYMN 8: I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1 I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Canaan’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2 My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3 I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught the joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.

4 I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,

“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY JULY 23RD, 2022.

THEME: SEEING GOD FACE TO FACE

MEMORISE:  

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 

Revelation 22:4

READ: 1 John 3:2-10

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

MESSAGE 

One day, one glorious day, I will see God face to face. The word of God confirms this to me (1 John 3:2)

I don’t know about you, but I’m eagerly looking forward to that day. According to 1 Timothy 6:16, this God that we are looking forward to seeing dwells in light that no ordinary man can approach. The glory around Him is so great that it is impossible for any man to come close to Him, yet I want to see Him. How will that be possible? This is why the bible says in Ephesians 5:27 that the one who will be the bride of Jesus must be without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Believe me honestly, if you have been thinking you will make it to heaven with those seemingly little occasional sins you permit in your life, you have been deceiving yourself. There will surprises on that day. Anyone that has just one spot on that day will not be allowed into heaven on that day. This is why the bible says in 1 John 1:7 that the blood of Jesus cleanses from ALL sins. Not 99% of sins, but ALL sins.

In 1 Peter 1:15, we see the standard of holiness that God expects from us:

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conservation;

We are to be holy as He is holy. In other words, the standard of your holiness is not to be that of your Pastor or General Overseer because they may think that some things are tolerable. Your standard of holiness must be as God is holy. In Matthew 5:48, Jesus Christ Himself said you must be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. You are to be so holy that in 1 Thessalonians 5:22, the bible says that you must avoid everything that just appears evil. Not just what is actually evil, but everything that appears evil must be avoided. God is very serious about you living holy, he doesn’t take it lightly at all. You see, if you are to approach his great glory, you cannot do so with any iota of sin in your life. Ephesians 5:3-4 says you cannot even partake in unholy jokes, so if you find some people jesting and it include some carnality and impurity, you are not to partake in such jests. Do you really want to see God on that day? If you do, then you must live completely holy.    

PRAYER POINT

Father, give me the grace to be holy as You are holy, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 141-145

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
