Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST, 2022.


THEME: THE WORD III


MEMORISE: 

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

2 Timothy 4:2 


READ: Psalms 119:127 

127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.


128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.


129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.


130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.


MESSAGE

There is the tendency for Christians, especially ministers of God  to put the gift of the Spirit before the word of God in their lives. They want people to see the signs because they believe that it authenticate them in their eyes, after all John 4:48 says:


Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.


Such people, therefore, work the gifts more than they preach the word. Any ministry where this is done will not stand the test of time. Everything you do or say must be based on the word of God and you must project it to everyone you meet. God referred to the people he has sent to you to lead as sheep (John 21:15-17) and they can only be fed to grow with the word of God. 1 Peter 2:2 says:


As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:


In John 6:25-35, when the people were looking for Jesus because He had power to multiply food, He rebuked them, saying that they should have been looking for the Bread of life - the Word of God, instead. If a person forces a prophecy out when God is not speaking, just because people are expecting one, such a fellow will not last long in the Christian race.


Someone asked me to tell him his future. I asked if he was born again and he said "No". I then responded, "Your future will not be good because the word of God says that it shall be ill with the wicked" (Isaiah 3:11). He then asked, "What if l had said l was born again?" I said, "Then l would have told you that your future will be glorious because the word of God says, "Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him" (Isaiah 3:10). Everything must be based on the word of God.


It is the entrance of God's word, not the miracle or prophecies, that brings light to the souls that you are ministering to (Psalm 119:130). If you base your ministry on spiritual gifts rather than the word of God, it will not last. I have been in ministry for over 45 years now, I have seen many ministries rise and then fall, just because of this mistake.


ACTION POINT 

Live by the word of God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 6-7


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.

DATE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 20TH, 2022.


THEME: THE WORD ll


MEMORISE: 

And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. 

Ezekiel 2:2


READ: Psalms 119:97 -105

97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.


98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.


99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.


100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.


101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.


102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.


103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!


104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.


105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.


MESSAGE

The word of God sets you on your feet in marriage, ministry, business or whatever endeavour you embark on. John 6:63 says: 


It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that l speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


When you study the word of God and allow it to dwell in you, the Spirit in that word will fill you up. The Spirit will set you on your feet, breathe life into you, and then enable you to do some things that you were unable to do before. The word of God is so complete that whatever you need to get you on your feet in life can be found in it. In the word of God, you will find countless messages for a better marriage, many lessons to help you prosper in your business, academics, politics, relating with people, relating with God and anything relevant to life. Proverbs 2:6 says "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding". 


During the Coronavirus lockdown, someone said he spent his free time studying previous editions of the Open Heavens Devotional and discovered no message had ever been repeated  for the 20 years since we had been writing the devotional. That is because the devotional is a Bible study tool and the wisdom in God's word is inexhaustible.


When l was writing my Ph.D, thesis, l got to a point where l had one hundred and eighty-six simultaneous equations and couldn't find a solution. One fateful day, l got tired of it all. I threw the project aside and picked up my Bible to do some studying. I read the passage where God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross ( Exodus 14) and the Spirit of God spoke to me saying, "That is the solution to your problem". I took up the thesis again and this time around, l divided the equations into two categories - one on the left and the other on the right, just as the Red Sea parted to the left and the right. I then solved both categories separately and got my final answer soon afterwards. The word of God set me on my feet academically! When l presented my thesis to the external examiner, he had no questions for me. He only said to the authorities, "Give this young man his Ph.D"!


KEY POINT 

Study God's word intensely and by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, He will give you the wisdom you need to stand successfully in every area of life.

DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19TH, 2022.


THEME: THE WORD l


MEMORISE: 

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 

Joshua 1:8 


READ:  Jeremiah 15:16 

16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.


MESSAGE

For the next few days, we will be studying just a few of the benefits we can enjoy from the word of God. Please don't miss any of the lessons in this series, l pray the Lord will open our eyes and draw us into a deeper understanding of His word in Jesus' name.


Our Bible reading today says the word of God brings joy and comfort to a depressed soul. By reading the Bible with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for interpretation, the realization that you are called by God's name will come into your heart to remove depression and replace it with joy and rejoicing.


Let us picture an unemployed and depressed young man who suddenly discovers that the president of his country is his father and also that the man has been looking for him, immediately this young man realises that his surname is about to change to that of the president, every bit of depression and sorrow will disappear from him.


When you read God's word, you will see in it that you are called by the same name as the Lord God of hosts! He has carefully placed pointers all around the Scriptures to the fact that you are His child and everything that answers to Him answers to you too.  This realisation alone is enough to bring joy into the heart of anyone, no matter the challenge they are faced with.


When you find the word of God and 'eat' it, it will bring you joy. You don't find something without searching. You cannot get anything from the word of God if you do not dig deep into it. You have to search for the treasure in each passage. You have to ask the Holy Spirit to expound His word in your heart. When you have found the word, you will he wand grind that word of God by meditating on it deeply. Then you will digest it by believing it in your heart so much that it becomes your reality. Until what you found in the word of God becomes your reality, joy and rejoicing cannot come into your heart.


KEY POINT

If you make it a habit to find and eat the word of God daily , joy will never cease from your heart again.

Till all conflict past,

Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image

Perfected at last.
