OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SUNDAY DECEMBER 11TH, 2022.

THEME: SIN AND SICKNESS

MEMORISE: 

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 

John 5:14 

READ: Psalms 107:17 -20

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

MESSAGE

Sin brings affliction upon people, but healing will come when they repent and turn to God. The Bible tells us in Psalm 119:67:

Before l was afflicted l went astray: but now have l kept thy word.

Whenever a sick person who had been a sinner before falling sick came to Jesus in the Bible, He would forgive the person of his or her sin first and foremost, before getting rid of the sickness. The sin has to go before the healing can come. If you have sinned against God, you must go before Him and ask for mercy, so that He can restore you to Himself and to good health.

God will send you a word today that will deliver you from destruction in the mighty name of Jesus.

Confess your sins to Him and make up your mind that you will no longer live a life of sin. It is a dangerous thing to continue in sin, especially after God has delivered you from one form of demonic oppression or another.

In Luke 11:24-26, Jesus tells us what will happen when a man has been healed but still continues in his sin:

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, l will return unto my house whence l came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

If death suddenly catches up with a sinner, he will go to hell. Turn to God and repent of your sins. Start to live a life of holiness, and God will send you a word that will restore your soul. Anyone who isn't God's friend is already walking on the path of destruction. According to Psalm 9:17, such a fellow is set on his or her way to hell already.

You will reign with Christ at the end of days, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT 

Repent of all your sins and forsake them so you can enjoy a time of refreshing in the Lord.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY DECEMBER 10TH, 2022.

THEME: GOD CONTROLS FRUITFULNESS 

MEMORISE: 

And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 

Genesis 29:31

READ: Isaiah 54:1 -8

1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

MESSAGE

It is God who decides who will be fruitful. In Genesis 29:31, the Bible says when God saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb. He decides who will be fruitful and who wouldn't. I believe God is bringing this revelation to someone today so that you will put all your trust and hope in Him, and then He will open your womb, in Jesus' name.

Rachel wanted her womb opened, but she was looking in the wrong place. In Genesis 30:1-2, she said her husband should give her a child or she would die and he asked her if he was God. In Genesis 30:22-24, the Bible says that God remember Rachel and opened her womb. The  fact that He opened her womb tells us that He had shut it before. Revelation 3:7 tells us that He has the key of David and when He opens, no man can shut; when He shuts, no man can open. Every womb that has been shut will be opened today, in Jesus' name. It doesn't matter if the devil thinks he has shut your womb. The key of David is a Master Key. When God opens your womb with it, the devil's key becomes useless.

Fruitfulness, however, goes beyond having children. There can be the womb of business, career, ideas and so on. In Luke 5:1-7, Peter fished all night and caught nothing. The womb of success was closed to, him until the One who has the Key of David visited him and opened it unto him. By the next time he launched into the deep, the one who had nothing before caught so much fish that he had to share with his colleagues. When God opens your womb of success, you will get a breakthrough that will be so big, it would be impossible for you to enjoy it alone. The womb of your success shall be opened this month, in Jesus' name.

There are two things you need to do for God to open your womb. Firstly, look to God alone for your success. He will teach you what to do like He taught Peter where to cast his net. Secondly. Don't give up hope. Peter almost missed his breakthrough because he had lost hope. He was reluctant to cast the net but only did it because he wanted to be polite. You may be just one step away from that big breakthrough. God has already opened your womb now; launch out and bring in your catch.

PRAYER POINT 

Father, open my womb today and let this month mark a turnaround for the better for me in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Galatians 4- Ephesians 1

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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 9TH, 2022.

THEME: NO EXCUSES

MEMORISE: 

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 

Romans 2:1 

READ: Genesis 3:9 -14

8 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

MESSAGE

It is in the nature of the fallen man to blame others for their misdeeds. Right from the beginning in Genesis 3:9-14, when God asked Adam why he had sinned, he said, "It is the fault of the woman you gave me". God turned to the woman and asked, "Eve, why have you done that?" She responded, "The serpent deceived me". The only fellow who didn't gave an excuse was the serpent. The serpent could have said, "The devil entered me", but the animal proved to be more responsible for it's actions than man.

When you see a person who is always giving excuses, you have seen a failure. Giving excuses is one major characteristics of failures. In the story of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, the servants who had five and two talents simply gave a report of their trade to the master. The only person who had an excuse was the one who failed. He could have succeeded, but he chose to cook up an excuse; he decided to fail. Anytime you are tempted to give an excuse, remind yourself, "l am not a failure". If you know that no matter what happens, you will not give an excuse, you would sit up and do your very best. Many people use the government and the state of the economy as excuses for their financial situation, whereas some others are coming out of poverty under the same government and economic situations. Never permit yourself to give excuses at all, unless you want to end up a failure.

If somehow, you were unable to get something right, instead of giving an excuse, own up to your fault. When it goes right, you receive the commendation, so when it goes wrong, you should be prepared to take the blame too. If you arrived late to a meeting and are asked "Why did you come late?" Don't say, "The traffic was heavy". You should have researched the route and factored the traffic into your travel time, even if it means you would have to get to the road hours ahead of the meeting. When you are asked, "Why are you not fasting" and you say, "l have issues with my stomach" rather than admitting that you are not disciplined enough to stay away from food, that is an excuse.

Decide today: no more excuses!

KEY POINT 

Stop giving excuses and you will see the tremendous changes that will happen in your life.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 13- Galatians 3

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

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY DECEMBER 8TH, 2022.

THEME: GIVING IS PERSONAL

MEMORISE: 

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 

Proverbs 11:25 

READ: 2 Samuel 24:18 -24

18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.

19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.

21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

2 Samuel 24:22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

MESSAGE

Many a time, when families go to worship God, the father distributes offerings to everyone so that they can have something to give. It is okay when you give to the little children who don't know any money so that they can cultivate the habit of giving, but when the older ones and your spouse who have their own money are also collecting their offerings from you, you need to teach them better. In our Bible reading today, David refused to accept the offer of Araunah because what you give to God that is at no cost to you is accounted to the one who bore the cost, not you.

Giving is a personal matter. If your children collect pocket money, teach them to set aside some of it to give to God. If your spouse makes some money, encourage him or her to give to God from it. It is where the money is coming from that the blessing will go to. Ecclesiastes 1:7 says _"All rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again"_.

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man Soweth, that shall he reap". You cannot reap what l sowed; it is what you sowed that you would reap. Luke 6:38 says _"Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down...shall men give unto your bosom"_. It is he or she who give that will receive.

Who do you think took home the twelve extra baskets  from the story of the feeding of five thousand men by Jesus Christ in John 6:5-13? Since there were  twelve baskets, each disciple could carry a basket to the house of the boy who gave his lunch. It is the fellow who sowed that will reap the harvest.

Giving is a personal matter particularly because of the day of trouble.  Psalm 41:1-3 says if you are a giver, when you are sick, God will visit you. He will even make your bed at the time of sickness. In Psalm 20:1-3, the Bible make it clear that God does not forget your offerings. Particularly in the time of crisis. There are special blessings that are meant for givers and cannot be enjoyed by misers. It is he that waters that will be watered. When things are dry, the one who watered will in turn be watered in such a period.

ACTION POINT 

Teach your family to give to God out of their own resources.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 8-12

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 25: TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE

1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life our redemption to win,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Refrain:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice;

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.

2 Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.
