DATE: THURSDAY DECEMBER 15TH, 2022.


THEME: SPARE PARTS IN HEAVEN


MEMORISE:

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Jeremiah 32:27


READ: 2 Kings 5:9-14

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.


10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.


11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.


12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.


13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?


14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.


MESSAGE:

I once heard the story of a man who visited heaven and came back. He said in heaven, he was shown a room where there were many spare parts of human bodies. When he asked what they were all for, he was told that they were there to be given to people on earth whose body parts might have been damaged and in need of new ones. That is good news for someone who needs a new body part; ask God for yours today and He will give you from His store.


The Bible says that Naaman's skin returned to him like that of a baby. That was a new skin. In Mark 3:1-5, the Lord Jesus gave a man with a withered hand a new one. In John 9:1-7, Jesus met a man who was born without eyes and He gave him a new pair. Whenever you read in the Bible that Jesus made a leprous fellow whole, what happened was that the chopped off fingers or ear lobes were replaced with new ones.


God can replace that part of your body that needs changing, if you ask Him.


There was a family in which the parents were Professors, but their son was a dullard. If l were to describe him in my native tongue, l would say where the brain was supposed to be, there was only water there. This boy never passed any exam. He would always come last in his class, with the worst results. When moved from a class of 33 students to one of 40, his positioned moved from 33rd to 40th. His parents got him the best of teachers and yet he kept on failing. One day, we had a programme at the University where they lived; we prayed a simple prayer for this boy. At the next examination that the boy sat for, he came first in the class. His teachers said that was not possible because they knew that, even if the boy was given the answers to copy in the exam hall, he would copy them wrong. Thus they gave him another test and he scored even higher in that one. God had given him a brand-new brain.


My Daddy is the God of all flesh. He has all human spare parts in His store; just ask Him and He will give you what you need. Nothing is too hard for Him to do.


ACTION POINT:

Tell God about that new body part that you need - whether it is your brain or another part of your body, tell Him about it now. If you don't need a new body part, ask for someone you know who needs one.

1 Thessalonians 3 - 2 Thessalonians 3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 12

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE


1 My faith looks up to Thee,

Tou Lamb of Calvary,

Saviour 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,

O 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 Saviour, then, in love,

Fear and distrust remove;

O bear me safe above,

A ransomed soul.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 14TH, 2022.


THEME: THE CONTAGIOUS BLESSING 


MEMORISE: 

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 

Genesis 39:5 


READ: Genesis 39:1 -5

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.


2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.


3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.


4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.


5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.


MESSAGE

When God really blesses a man, people around him will also feel the impact of that blessing. Luke 5:4-7 when Peter  had a net-breaking catch, he needed his colleagues to help him carry the fish out of the water in their boats because his alone could not contain the haul. God can prosper your entire family just because of you. The government can establish some policies that will favour your entire neighborhood just because of you. That is what l call a Contagious Blessing.


In Acts 27:22-44, Apostle Paul happened to be lost at sea in a ship with 276 men. The men panicked because there seemed to be no hope of survival, but because Paul was in that ship, none of them died. In fact, the Bible says that God gave all the people in the ship to, Paul; he was in charge of them all, including his captors (Acts 27:24). Furthermore, the centurion stopped the soldiers from killing all the prisoners in the ship because he wanted to save Paul's life. Talk about contagiously blessed man!


I know we usually pray at the end of the day's discussion, but you should take a minute now and pray, saying, "Father, please let me associate with people whose blessings will rub off on me, in Jesus' name".


The Bible reading for today tells the story of Joseph as a slave in Potiphar's house. The Bible says that though he was a slave, Potiphar prospered because Joseph worked in his house. Your company will prosper because of you, in Jesus' name.


It is easy to recognize a contagiously blessed fellow in any organization because the moment the person starts to work there, profits will increase. Somehow, sales will improve and money will overflow. If the blessed one is a business person, everyone will want to partner with him or her because they know that doing so would result in great success. I pray for you again from the depth of my heart: you will be contagiously blessed. Your nation will become the largest exporter of whatever you sell because of you, in Jesus' name. Your entire family and lineage will never know poverty again because of you, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, I don't just want to be blessed, I want my blessing to be contagious to everyone associated with me in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossians 2 -1 Thessalonians 2


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.

DATE: TUESDAY 13TH DECEMBER, 2022.


THEME: GRACE IS NOT A LICENSE TO SIN


MEMORISE:

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 

Romans 6:1 -2


READ: Romans 6:1 -12

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?


2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?


3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?


4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:


6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.


7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.


8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:


9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.


10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.


11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.


12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.


MESSAGE

Grace is the supernatural ability given to us by God to live in constant obedience to Him. The Bible says in Romans 6:14:


For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.


Grace is not a license to sin. Grace is an enablement to do the will of God. If victory over sin was impossible, Christ would not have died. His death would have been in vain. Matthew 1:21 says:


And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.


If you belong to Jesus Christ, God will give you grace to live above sin so that it would no longer control you. Don't let the false teachers deceive you into believing that grace gives you the liberty to sin; the wages of sin is still death. God is coming back for a Church without any spot or wrinkle. If you want to be a part of that Church, then you have to stay away from sin.


That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians 5:27


If you have sinned, God is willing to have mercy on you because of His grace, but if you decide to take that grace for granted by making sin a habit, then you are calling for damnation. The Bible says that God forbids it that you continue in sin, using the excuse of His abundant grace.


What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 6:1-2


A true born-again Christian will be seeking the grace of God so as to be completely dead to sin and not as an excuse to sin.


PRAYER POINT

Father, give me the grace to be completely dead to sin. Grace such that I will have absolutely no interest in sin, please give to me, Lord.
