Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26TH, 2022.

THEME: SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS

MEMORISE: 

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

James 4:4

READ: 2 Corinthians 6:14 -18

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

MESSAGE

It is important to have friends who are also Children of God - people with whom you can discuss the Bible and things of God. You will spend two hours discussing the Bible with such persons and it would seem as if you have only been together for five minutes. They are friends with whom you discuss what God is currently teaching you in the scriptures, they do likewise and then you just keep going deeper into Scriptural teachings about different issues. This is what the Bible refers to as iron sharpening iron and friends sharpening each other"s countenance (Proverbs 27:17).

You need your spiritual countenance sharpened regularly and these conversations go a long way in doing that. In these kinds of conversations, you are not been preached to, so it is a two-way thing. As you and your friend or friends study the Bible together, you begin to see more clearly some hitherto blurry areas of the Scriptures or even understand better some of the things happening in your life. In the process of doing this, your spiritual countenance and outlook are sharpened.

These conversation have a way of impacting you differently from the message being preached from the altar would. This is one of the great benefits of the House Fellowship system which we operate in The Redeemed Christian Church of God. There is no Pastor in the House Fellowship, just a leader to coordinate things; everyone is just to discuss the word of God from their own perspective.

If you don't have such people with whom you discuss Scriptures, you Need to either change your friends or make new ones. If you are so busy that you don't have much time to spend with friends, at least have such conversation with your spouse. Even now, my wife and l still have such conversations. I remember not so long ago when we were discussing the great power that must have been in the meal Elijah ate in 1 Kings 19:5-8 which gave him strength for 40 straight days. It was always very interesting when you can find someone who is more knowledgeable in Scriptures than you; you are likely to leave such a meeting really charged up.

REFLECTION 

What do you discuss with your friends when you are together? Is it spiritual things or just carnal issues?

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY OCTOBER 25TH, 2022.

THEME: HOW WILL HE MEET YOU?

MEMORISE: 

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 

Matthew 24:44 

READ: Matthew 24:44 -51

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MESSAGE

For many students, they start preparing for exams only after the examine timetable has been pasted. Thank God that they know when the examination will hold. For us Christians, we do not know when our examination will hold. We do not know when the rapture will take place, or when we will be judged. When that examination comes, how will God meet you. Will He meet you prepared? Interestingly, this examination is not one that you can re-sit if you fail. Hebrews 9:27 says:

And it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment:

From verse 45 of our Bible reading for today, we see a category of people who God has sent to feed His children the meat of His word in due season. Are you preaching the true word of God to those you are sent to? If you are, when it is time for their examination, you will be called blessed and you will reign with Christ over all. However, if you are not teaching them His true word which has its foundation in salvation, sanctification, baptism in the Holy Ghost and the second coming of Christ, then the Bible calls such a fellow evil.

Don't decide to start quarreling with people, especially fellow ministers of God, simply because the examination appears to be delayed. Don't start insulting and criticising them publicly because you don't agree with their views, even though God has sent them to preach God's word to people, just like you. Don't start mingling with sinners and joining them in their sin; the One who sent you - the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will come at a time when you least expect Him.

Repent quickly because if He meets you not doing His work as you ought, the Bible says that you will be cut asunder and sent to the same place as unbelievers, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

REFLECTION 

When Jesus returns, how will He meet you doing His work?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 14-15

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!

THEME: PEACE LIKE A RIVER

MEMORISE: 

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. 

Psalms 29:11

READ: Isaiah 48:18 -22

18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

MESSAGE

O that thou hads't hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river; and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 

Isaiah 48:18

From the above passage, we see a direct link  between obeying God's commandments and having peace like a river. When someone just receives Christ, the first thing they experience is peace. Somehow, they just suddenly feel at peace. That is what happens to children of God, because the One in us is the Prince of Peace Himself. The memory verse for today says that God will only give peace to His people. If you are not one of His people, there can be no peace for you. Those who disobey God have no peace (Isaiah 48:22).

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Proverbs 28:1

Having all the money in the world would not bring you peace. You get peace by simply obeying the word of God. I am privileged to, have met many wealthy people, and when l say wealthy, l mean very wealthy. However, some of these people cannot sleep at night. There was an extremely wealthy man who said to me once that he could not sleep. He explained that whenever he closed his eyes to sleep, he would find himself amongst dead people. I may not be so wealthy, but once my head hits my pillow, l fell asleep.

The fellow, who stole yesterday cannot be at peace because he is hoping that police will not knock on his door the next minute. The one engaged in extra-marital affairs cannot be at peace because the moment he sees his wife picking up his phone, he may have a heart attack. The one who lied yesterday will be constantly thinking of other lies that will support the one already told.

Disobeying God's word takes away your peace.

Choose to be obedient to the Lord at all times and His peace shall flow like a river in your life.

KEY POINT

Nothing and no one can give you peace except the Prince of Peace Himself.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 12-13

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.

DATE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 23RD, 2022.

THEME: THE WORD V

MEMORISE: 

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

Psalms 119:105 

READ: Psalms 119:103 -105

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

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Isaiah 30:21

The word of God is the perfect guide that everyone needs in life. When we reach a point where we need to make a decision that will  significantly affect our lives, the word of God  gives us the leverage to make the best choices. Whenever you need to make a decision and you place your options beside the word of God, it will shed light on the dark areas, help you to see and understand those options more clearly and then guide you on which is best. Sometimes, the best decision is arrived at from multiple Scriptures which guide you in the process of decision making. Some of the passages that can help you are below:

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Proverbs 18:13

This passage will help you check if you have all the information you need to make a correct decision. It can save you from making uninformed decisions. 

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Proverbs 14:15

This Scripture above will help you get second opinion on information and be sure that both are correct. You can find out what experts or more experienced people in a particular field are saying about the decision you want to make. Proverbs 11:14 says:

Where no counsel is, the people fail; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Therefore; the word of God will point your attention to your integrity. Proverbs 22:1 says "A good name is rather to be chosen than riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold". Stay away from options that will negatively affect your integrity. The word of God is so rich that there is no aspect of human life that it does not address. Study to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15).

KEY POINT

If you are accustomed to living by the word of God, you will hardly make wrong decision.

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!
