Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23RD, 2022.

THEME: RUN FROM FLATTERERS

MEMORISE: 

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. 

Proverbs 26:28 

READ: Acts 12:20 -23

20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.

21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

MESSAGE

Flatterers are dangerous people. The they come like friends, but they are really enemies, even though some of them don't know it. In a the Bible reading for today, Herod was destroyed not because he said any proud words, but because he was being flattered and did not run from the flatterer or tell them to stop. These were people who hailed him because of what they could get from him, not because they really felt he was a great orator. Proverbs 26:28 says:

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Flatterers will ruin you if you don't run away from them. If you are being flattered and it feels good, you had better check yourself because the people flattering you are not your friends; they are trap-setters sent by the devil to you. Proverbs 29:5 says:

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

Someone who only tells you that you are perfect and never tells you that you did anything wrong is not your friend. When you bring those who flatter you closer to you, that is like bushmeat going to play in front of the hunter's house, destruction is near. Psalm 5:9 says:

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Their inward part is not 'ordinary wickedness' but described as "very wickedness". Their throat - from where the flattery comes, is an open grave. You are to run from such people. When they advise you, take their advice with a pinch of salt because they don't mean well for you at all. Psalm 62:4 says they advise you so as to bring you down from your exalted position.

Sweet as their tongue may be, don't take the advice of flatterers; run from them!

KEY POINT 

If there is someone who is always praising you excessively, stay away from that fellow henceforth.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 16-18

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 

DATE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22ND, 2022.

THEME: STOP FLATTERING PEOPLE

MEMORISE: 

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 

Psalms 12:3 

READ: Psalms 12:1-4

1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

MESSAGE

To flatter someone is to give excessive and insincere praise to the person, especially to further your own interests. Flattery is one of the weapons with which the devil destroy's people. This means that the fellow who flatters is one of the agents of the devil in destroying people. Every time you flatter someone, you are working for the devil's interest to bring down the fellow. Thus if you want to be an agent of the devil, you can go on flattering people. God however, does not tolerate agents of darkness. Psalm 12:3 says:

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

If you keep flattering, you are inviting the Lord to cut off your lips. Job 32:22 also says that God will take away any one who flatters another.

For l know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job 32:22

When a person does good, tell them without exaggerating. When they do something bad, tell them with wisdom for them to change for the better. When you flatter people, you are making them think that they are perfect. You are fanning the flame of pride that may have been in them before and when it rises, the Lord will then resist them. That would lead to destruction.

People often know when they are being flattered. Though the flattery may work in your favour for awhile, the fellow will soon realise that you are only around them for what you can get and they will soon start staying away from you. They know that the other fellow who does not flatter but tells them pathetic truth always is their real friend. In the long run, the flatterer could lose the relationship. If a fellow is always flattering you, he or she is not your real friend. The word of God says in Proverbs 28:23 "He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue".

If you truly want the favour of a great person, tell them the truth and stop flattering them.

ACTION POINT 

Touch your lips and profess; These lips will never flatter anybody in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 14-15

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.

THEME: NO AUTOMATIC POWER

MEMORISE: 

And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 

2 Kings 2:10

READ: 2 Kings 2:9 -14

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

MESSAGE

One day, long ago, l entered a room, a man jumped from behind the door, grabbed my hand and started professing, "l received the anointing, double portion of the anointing is mine!" I shook him off. You get the anointing by sacrifice, not by professing it. You spend hours, if not days, on your knees. You fast for weeks, spend hours studying the word to know this God, you leave your comfort zone and go out to preach the gospel, you serve God with all your might. You sow seeds - seeds so great as to make you cry while sowing them. You have to be ready to make sacrifices to get power. The anointing will not come automatically by only following a man or woman of God.

When Jesus was on earth, hundreds of people were following Him, but only about 120 tarried at the upper room as He instructed and those were the ones who were filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts 2:1-4, Elijah had a servant before he had Elisha. In 1 Kings 19:1-3, when Jezebel was after Elijah's life and he told the servant to stay somewhere, the boy did not hesitate, hence he did not get double portion of the spirit. However, when it was Elisha's turn, Elijah did everything to get rid of the young man but he stayed with Elijah to the end, then he got the mantle. Just following the man or woman of God is not enough to get the mantle, you must serve with all your might. You must follow him or her to the end.

And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou  see me when l am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

2 Kings 2:10

By telling Elisha that if he saw him when he was going, he would get the mantle, Elijah was saying "If we see eye to eye, if you love what l love and hate what l hate, if you follow me with all your heart, then you will get my mantle". If you want the anointing upon someone, then you must see eye to eye with the anointed. If your heart is not truly connected with the man or woman of God you are following, you cannot get his or her anointing. Finally, if you are not committed to serving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, you cannot get His anointing.

KET POINT 

The anointing comes with sacrifices, not just confessions.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 12-13

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
