OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2022.

THEME: HE CAN REVERSE THE IRREVERSIBLE

MEMORISE: 

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 

Revelation 1:8

READ: Ezekiel 37:1 -14

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

.

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

MESSAGE 

Our memory verse today can be interpreted to mean that in God, the past, the present and the future coexist. As a result of this, He control times and seasons (Daniel 2:20-21). Thus, if He wants, He can stop time like in Joshua 10: 12-14. I remember when l was to turn sixty years old, and the assignment God had given seemed to be far from being achieved. I groaned and cried to God, "Lord help me. I haven't achieved all that You called me to do. There is still so much work to be done and now the sun is setting". He said "Son, l decide when the sun sets".

Yes, my God can stop time, but He can even do more than that; He can reverse it. In Isaiah 38:7-8, when He told. a king that he was going to be healed, the king asks for a sign. The prophet said, "Okay, which one do you want, should l ask the sun to move forward faster or to move backwards?" The King said, "Moving forward faster is easy. Ask the sun to go back" and the sun went backwards that day.

God can pick an opportunity that you think you have lost forever and bring it right back to you again. That was what He did in Genesis 18:9-14 when He said Sarah would have a son. Sarah must have been in menopause for about 40 years, but that didn't matter to God because He can bring back that which appears to have been gone forever. I prophesy to you every opportunity you have already lost shall be restored to you in Jesus' name. Now, l don't just want you to say an ordinary 'amen' to that prayer. I want you to meditate on it for a moment. If the Almighty God could bring back the menstrual period of a ninety-year-old woman, do you think your case will be too difficult for Him to solve?

There was a lady who had given birth to children from different men before: she surrendered her life to Christ. She believed that no man would want to marry her ever again but to her surprise, God brought a man to marry her and even told the man that though this lady had a rough past, He had cleansed her and given her a brand-new beginning! God is still in the business of reversing the irreversible and He will bring back whatever you have lost in Jesus' name.  

PRAYER POINT

Cry to God concerning that opportunity that you have lost. Tell Him, "Lord please reverse the irreversible for my sake." Go ahead and cry to Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 12-Hosea 3

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 13: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

1 My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain: 

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

3 His oath, His covenant, His blood,

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;

In Him, my righteousness, alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2022.

THEME: FROM PROPHECY TO DECREE 

MEMORISE: 

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 

Psalms 33:9

READ: Psalms 33:8 -9

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

MESSAGE 

There are some differences between a prophecy and a decree. When a prophecy comes, that is a promise and when God makes a promise, He will definitely fulfill it at the appropriate time and with the proper conditions. However, when He makes a decree, the fulfillment is immediate and without any conditions. The prayer of every Christian should be that God should turn every prophecy into a decree in their favor.

Abraham had received the prophecy that he would be a father of nations, but somehow the fulfillment was taking time to manifest. The day Abraham invited God to eat, every prophecy concerning childbirth became a decree. That day, He brought what was yet to come to 'now'. In John 2:1-11, at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus' mother told Him the hosts no longer had any wine. He told His mother, "My time is not yet come", but not long after that, 'not yet' became 'now'. In 2 Kings 4:8-17, when Elisha decreed to the Shunnamite woman that she would have a son, even though she didn't believe him, it came to pass.

A decree set aside your doubts and unbelief. It goes ahead to do what was spoken while a prophecy, on the other hand, requires you to believe and even pray sometimes for it to come to pass.

There is no prophecy God has declared concerning you that He cannot bring to pass because He is the Almighty. Matthew 3:9 says: He is so mighty that He can even bring children out of stones. He so mighty that He can literally reverse the irreversible because, in Romans 4:16-19, the Bible says the womb of Sarah was already dead. If you want to see that prophecy manifest immediately, it needs to become a decree. How do you get God to turn His prophecies concerning you into decrees? Simple: offer unto Him what He delights in, Psalm 59:13-14 says "Will l eat the flesh of Bulls, or drink the blood of goatskin? Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High".

Sing praise to God, thank Him from the bottom of your heart, do His will. If you do these so much and so well that it touches His heart, He will turn prophecies to decree in your life.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please turn every prophesy I have received to a decree in my favor in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 9- 11

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 17: O LORD MY GOD, WHEN I IN AWESOME WONDER

1 O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder

consider all the works thy hand hath made,

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

thy power throughout the universe displayed;

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,

how great thou art, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,

how great thou art, how great thou art!

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander

and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

3 And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,

sent him to die 

I scarce can take it in

that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

he bled and died to take away my sin:

4 When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then shall I bow in humble adoration

and there proclaim, "my God, how great thou art!"

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2022.

THEME: YOU CAN'T COMMAND YOUR MASTER

MEMORISE: 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 

Romans 6:16 

READ: Mark 3:23 -27

23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

MESSAGE 

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. 

Ephesians 2:6

That Bible passage above is not for everybody. It is for only those who live holy. Psalm 24:3-4 says:

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.

If you don't live holy, you cannot even ascend to God not to talk of sitting with Him. Thus those who don't live holy cannot be seated with Christ and since Ephesians 1:20-21 says that Christ is seated above principalities and powers, they cannot command principalities and powers. In a crusade, when the person leading prayers is asking people to bind the devil and his agents, and the ones who are still living in sin are also binding, what the devil does is torment and oppress them even more. If you don’t believe me, ask the seven sons of Sceva (Acts 19:11-16). They were not children of God, and they were trying to command demons. The demons taught them a lesson that day. If you want to command demons, if you want the devil to leave you alone, then you must be holy.

1 John 3:8 says:

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.

Who your father is determines who you can command. If your father is the house help of a great man, you cannot command the great man's children because they are indirectly your bosses. Rather, the children will command you. However, if you break free from their hold and you become greater than they, then you can command them.

I am giving you an invitation today to join those of us who are seated with Jesus Christ, far above principalities and powers. For us, the devil and his agents are our servants, we command them as we wish, and they cannot oppress us.

 

REFLECTION 

With your current lifestyle, can you command demons and have them obey?

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2022.

THEME: WHEN YOU MUST BE VIOLENT 

MEMORISE: 

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 

Matthew 11:12

READ: Matthew 18:18 

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

MESSAGE 

Some Christians are so gentle that they accommodate the devil and his agents in their lives, claiming the Bible says we should be gentle as a dove. The Bible says that it is only the violent that can take the kingdom of God by force. The devil will do, everything to ensure you don't enter the kingdom of God; it is with violence that you will take it. If you are at peace when you should be fighting, the devil will roast you.

You must be violent when the devil is confronting you with a situation that can kill you. Any situation that can destroy your destiny or your spiritual life is not one to toy with at all.

Many years ago, l encounter a woman who was a senior official of an Examination Council in West Africa. She was married with children that were doing well. Just looking at her everything seemed normal, but she was a habitation of demons. She came to me one day and said, "Thus saith the Lord, you are my husband". I said, "That can't be l'm happily married, l'm a man of God, and you know l am committed to a life of holiness". She said, "You are joking, l'm going to marry you". When we couldn't handle it anymore, the matter was reported to the police and a restraining order was issued against her, to no avail. One day, l went to London on an official assignment and didn't tell anybody l was coming. Just as l entered the house where l was to stay, the phone rang and this same woman said, "Welcome, l have been waiting for you. I know where you are staying, and l will be there in fifteen minutes". I told her the British police would be waiting for her at the door. Maybe because she knew there was a police station less than two minutes' walk away from the house, she did not come, but she kept on calling. Now, l knew that l had a big problem and l needed to be violent. I went on my knees and cried to God to help me. God told me, "Son, you know the meaning of whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. You know whatever you allow is allowed, whatever you forbid is forbidden". I said, "Yes Lord", then He said, "It's up to you". On hearing that l said, "Okay, then the mountain must move!" and it did move. If l hadn't been violent, that mountain might have killed me.

KEY POINT 

Don't handle anything that can destroy your destiny lightly.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

That calls me from a world of care, 

And bids me at my Father's throne

Make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

My soul has often found relief, 

And oft escape the tempter's snare 

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

Thy wings shall my petition bear 

To him whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless; 

And since He bids me seek His face

Believe His word, and trust His grace, 

I'll cast on Him my every care, 

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

May I thy consolation share

Till, from mount Pisgah's lofty height, 

I view my home and take my flight; 

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise 

To seize the ever lasting prize 

And shout while passing through the air, 

Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
