Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24TH, 2022.


THEME: TRY PRAISE


MEMORISE: 

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 

2 Chronicles 20:22 


READ: 2 Chronicles 20:22 -27

22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.


23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.


24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.


25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.


26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.


27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.


MESSAGE

A Pastor in The Redeemed Christian Church of God shared the testimony of a miracle God performed during a wedding in one of our parishes. Just as the bridegroom was about to sign the register, he heard someone call his name and as he answered, he fell and died. All the pastors in the vestry immediately gathered and began to pray for him, but the longer they prayed, the colder he became. The most senior amongst them then remembered that l had thought them often to try praise whenever prayer seems to be failing. Within a short time of praising God, the bridegroom came back to life.


The people of Judah had only started to praise God when He set an ambush against their enemies. The enemies that were coming to trouble King Jehoshaphat and his people were numerous in number, but the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 20:22:


And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.


The people of Judah had been praying, but nothing had happened. Now, instead of going against the enemy with physical weapons of war like swords, spears and shields, they came against them with weapon of praise. If l stand before the gates of heaven and the Angels refuse to open them to, me (God forbid), l will start to praise God. I know that before l have called God all the beautiful names l know Him to have, He would tell one of His angels to open the gate for me. Praise opens doors that even prayer may not have been able to open.


If you have been praying about something and you are yet to receive your request, try praise today. When you praise God, He will surely respond. 


Joshua and the army of Israel used praise to pull down the walls of Jericho in Joshua 6:20. If you have been praying for so long about a matter, try praise now and you would be surprised at the wonderful results God Almighty will give you. Try praise .


ACTION POINT 

What is that matter you have been struggling with? Start praising God over it now.

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.

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.

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.
