Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12TH, 2022.

THEME: THINGS WILL GET BETTER 

MEMORISE: 

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 

3 John 1:2

READ: Colossians 3:1 -17

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

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

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

MESSAGE

When l got married things were very tough for my family. I had a job, but l was just a teacher in a grammar school. In those days, my wife and l used to struggle over ponmo (cow skin). We would tell each other jokingly, "That piece is too big, you can't eat it alone; let's cut it into two". Those days l recall always reassuring her, My dear don't worry, things won't continue like this. Thank God she believe me and we held on to God. I am standing as a representative of God to tell you today that things will get better for you, in Jesus' name.

3 John 2 says:

Beloved l wish above all things that thou mayst prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

I want you to take note that the statement in the Bible verse above was inspired by God to show His children that He indeed wishes above all things that they should prosper. This should assure you completely that you will prosper. He, however, attached a condition to it. The condition is that your soul must be prospering too. How will your soul prosper? I have answered that question with the Bible reading for today. You can read it again, this time around taking notes of the things that you should do for your soul to prosper. 

Believe me honestly, if you live your life in line with the word of God. You will indeed experience all round prosperity.

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Deuteronomy 28:2

Live holy (Genesis 17:1), be diligent (Proverbs 22:29), sow bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6), pay your tithes (Malachi 3:10) and see if God will not prosper you. Blessings will indeed pursue and overtake you.

KEY POINT 

God want His children to have all-around prosperity.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: John 12-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 27: WHEN LIFE'S BILLOW YOU ARE TEMPEST TOSSED

1 When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

2 Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.

3 When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.

Count your many blessings, money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your Lord on high.

4 So amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 11TH,  2022.

THEME: DIVINE VICTORY OVER BARRENNESS

MEMORISE: 

And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. 

2 Kings 4:17 

READ: Genesis 18:9 -14

9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

MESSAGE

In Genesis 18:9-14, God told Abraham that Sarah would have a son within a year, but she laughed, thinking it was impossible because she was too old and had been barren for so long. Even though the promised of child birth seemed completely impossible, Sarah was carrying her baby nine months later. It doesn't matter for how long you have been barren, you will be carrying your babies this time next year in Jesus' name.

Many women in The Redeemed Christian Church of God have given birth long after menopause. This shows that nothing is impossible with the God I serve. No matter how long someone's case of barrenness is, He is able to turn it around.

There was a woman who the doctor said had no womb. The husband's relatives also told him to stop disturbing himself because they had removed his wife's womb spiritually. The couple attended one of our programmes one day and God said l should tell the people that He would give babies to someone in the congregation who had no womb. That month, she became pregnant. Her husband took her abroad to deliver the baby and told the doctor to conduct a Caesarean Section as to avoid complications. After delivery, the doctor searched but didn't see any womb. My Daddy showed the whole world that He can bring something out of nothing. If He could do it for that couple, yours will not be difficult for him.

In 2 Kings 4:8-17, the Bible tells us that when Elisha told the Shunamite woman that she would have a son, she said, "Man of God, do not deceive me." In other words, she told him not to lie to her. The devil wants you to feel that God can be a liar. God will prove Himself to you that He doesn't lie. In 1 Samuel 1:1-6, the Bible call Peninnah an adversary; she constantly mocked Hannah about her barrenness. When the Almighty God moved in, she was silenced. Anyone who is already mocking you now will soon come and rejoice with you, in Jesus' name.

Barrenness can make a person lose desire to stay alive. In Genesis 30:1-2, Rachel said to her husband, "Give me a son or l die". The good news for you is that fruitlessness of all kinds - financial, academic, physical, and spiritual - will become a thing of the past in your life, in Jesus' name.

REFLECTION 

In which area of your life are you trusting God for fruitfulness? Pray to Him about it now. He will hear you, in Jesus name.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 21: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.

4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10TH 2022

THEME: DIVINE VICTORY OVER MENTAL SICKNESS

MEMORISE: 

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 

James 1:5

READ: Mark 5:1 -20

1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

MESSAGE

Mental sickness is not limited to madness. It can also mean that a person has challenges with their thinking faculty. Some students have brilliant minds, but they blank out in the examination hall. If you have any problem with your memory, God is able to deliver you. The devil wants you to be a fool because he knows the Bible says in Psalm 14:1

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The devil knows that it is written in Proverbs 13:20:

He that walk with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

He wants you to live like a fool so you can be destroyed, but God is putting an end to all his attack against you now, in Jesus' name. Also the devil wants you to be a fool because he know the Bible says in Proverbs 3:35:

The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

James 1:5 says:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

If you are not as clever as you ought to be, or have been failing examinations, the Almighty God will lay His hands upon you now and give you victory in the mental realm, in Jesus' name.

The madman of Gadara could not think straight because he was possessed by demons. However, as soon as the Master spoke a word, those demons left him and he started to think and talk normally (Mark 5:1-20). If the Almighty God could deliver a man who was mad, how much more would He be able to restore you to sound mental health? That same God will heal you wherever you need help mentally right now, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT 

Do you need help in the mental realm? Lay your right hand on your head and ask the Lord to touch and heal you now in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: John 8-9

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1 God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.

2 Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defence is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God,

To endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

5  Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.

6 O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while life shall last,

And our eternal home.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9TH, 2022.

THEME: DIVINE VICTORY OVER PHYSICAL SICKNESS

MEMORISE: 

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 

Job 1:11

READ: Job 1:9 -12

9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

MESSAGE

The principal aim of Satan in attacking you physically is to cause you to deny God.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Job 2:4-5

Satan wants to make you sick so that you can complain against God and turn your back on Him. He knows if you can turn your back on God, then you will not get all that He has for you in Him. I pray that God will put Satan to shame in your life in Jesus' name.

In 2 Kings 5:1-14, we see that Satan afflicts people physically to discredit every other thing they might have achieved. Naaman was successful in everything, yet he had an incurable disease that put a 'but' on his achievements. In Mark 5:25-34, Satan attacked the woman with the issue of blood so as to waste her resources and reduce her to nothing. Just as God stepped in for Naaman and the woman with the issue of blood, He is going to step in for you now in the name of Jesus Christ.

The story in Mark 2:1-12 tells us about a young man carried by four friends. The devil wants you to be carried from one place to another, but because you are connected to God, you will cease to be a burden to others, in Jesus' name.

The devil also attacks people physically so that he may tie them down to a spot. In John 5:2-9, there were many sick people waiting for the moving of the pool of Bethesda. They could not move around freely because of the ailments in their bodies. The devil cannot tie you down because he has lost his hold on you. Jesus promised His followers victory over sickness when He defeated the devil. 1 John 3:8 says "...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

Sickness is the work of the devil. I pray for you that Jesus will raise you up from your bed of sickness now, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT 

Heavenly Father, I receive healing for my body now, in the name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: John 6-7

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 12: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1 My faith looks up to thee,

thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine.

Now hear me while I pray;

take all my guilt away;

O let me from this day

be wholly thine!

2 May thy rich grace impart

strength to my fainting heart;

my zeal inspire!

As thou hast died for me,

oh, may my love to thee

pure, warm, and changeless be,

a living fire!

3 While life's dark maze I tread,

and griefs around me spread,

be thou my guide.

Bid darkness turn to day,

wipe sorrow's tears away,

nor let me ever stray

from thee aside.

4 When ends life's transient dream,

when death's cold, sullen stream

shall o'er me roll,

blest Savior, then, in love,

fear and distrust remove;

O bear me safe above,

a ransomed soul!
