Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY DECEMBER 25TH, 2022.


THEME: DIVINE LOVE l


MEMORISE: 

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 

1 John 4:10


READ: John 15:13 -14

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.


MESSAGE

Divine love is the love that is of God. This is a love that gives all. John 3:16 says God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. This is a love that does not hold back at all. Romans 8:32 says:


He that spares not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?


The day Jesus Christ was crucified, He was stripped naked - He surrendered all! Divine love is powerful because it is unchangeable. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. Thus the love of God cannot change because God Himself cannot change (Hebrews 13:8, Malachi 3:6). This means when God falls in love with you, it is until the end. The latter part of John 13:1 says:


...having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.


If you have never been disappointed by a friend yet, get ready, it may occur anytime. By the time you are as old as l am, you may have been disappointed by many friends. God, however, never disappoints. He is the One who says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" and believe me honestly, He means it.


God has two levels of people He loves. There is the general love He has for everybody. That is the love spoken of in John 3:16. It is because of this love that Jesus came to die for everybody. It is because of this love that we all enjoy rain, the sun and the likes (Matthew 5: 45).


However, 1 John 4:19 says, "we love Him, because He first loved us". This set of people who reciprocate His general love get to enjoy His greater love. These are the ones about whom He says "l love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me" (Proverbs 8:17). 


To enjoy this great divine love, you have to love Him and He says in John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commandments". If you want to enjoy this unfailing love, holiness is a must.


KEY POINT 

Live holy and God will love you specially

HYMN 30: WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE 


1 Wonderful story of love!

Tell it to me again;

Wonderful story of love!

Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,

Shepherds with wonder receive it;

Sinner, O won’t you believe it?

Wonderful story of love!


Refrain:

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!


2 Wonderful story of love!

Though you are far away;

Wonderful story of love!

Still he doth call today.

Calling from Calvary’s mountain,

Down from the crystal bright fountain,

E’en from the dawn of creation;

Wonderful story of love!


3 Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;

Wonderful story of love!

For all the pure and blest;

Rest in those mansions above us,

With those who’ve gone on before us,

Singing the rapturous chorus;

Wonderful story of love!

DATE: SATURDAY DECEMBER 24TH, 2022.


THEME: BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR CALLING 


MEMORISE: 

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 

2 Timothy  1:9


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

The Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, made each and every one of us for a purpose. It does not mater the circumstances of your birth, God brought you into this world and called you to fulfil a specific purpose. Not everyone is called to be a Pastor, but everyone is called for a purpose. Ephesians 2:10 says:


For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


If you have found that good work for which God formed you, focus on it. What God wants for each of His children is for us to find our place and stay there. The one who was called to be in politics should not decide to become a Pastor and the one called to academics should not decide to go into farming. Everyone has his own assignment in this world and God will reward you, not based on how much work you have done, but if you fulfilled the purpose for which He formed you.


If you have not discovered that good work for which He formed you yet, you need to really pray for Him to reveal it to you. You need to be very clear about it and not make assumptions. For example, you may have the talent to sing, but your purpose may not be to become a musician. The talent could only be a tool to fulfilling your purpose. Joseph was a dreamer and an interpreter of dreams. Had he made assumptions, he would have thought his calling was to interpret people's dreams. He spoke on his purpose in Genesis 45:7 thus: "And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance".


The interpretation of dreams and even talent of administration were just tools to fulfilling His God-given purpose. Thank God he recognized that purpose, otherwise, he might have missed it by trying to retaliate against his brothers.


If God give you a natural talent to handle scissors excellently, don't conclude that you are called to be a fashion designer; barbers also use scissors. Pray and get a clear direction as to what God has called you to do on earth, and be faithful to that calling.


KEY POINT 

Discover your purpose in life by asking God, then focus on fulfilling it.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Peter 3- 2 Peter 2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 28: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 


1 When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 


Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 


2 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey.


3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 


4 Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 23RD, 2022.


THEME: DON'T CAUSE OTHERS TO STUMBLE ll


MEMORISE: 

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 

John 17:19


READ: 1 Peter 5:1 -4

1'The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:


2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;


3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.


4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.


MESSAGE

Those who serve in the house of God have a serious responsibility to the people they minister to. As God's representative to the flock, you are supposed to care for them and live an exemplary life that removes all stumbling blocks from their way.  God values each soul in the congregation. In Acts 20:28, the Bible says:


Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.


God did not buy the Church back with the blood of goats or the sacrifice of an angel. It cost God His Son to save the world. If we understood this as ministers, we would see the importance of living a life that does not insult the gospel of Christ. Beloved minister, be very careful about becoming a rock of offence to God's people. Luke 17:1-2 says:


Then said he unto the disciples, it is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.


These are the words of Jesus Himself. If you are a minister of God, check your life to be sure you are not leading the flock astray. If you do not place much importance on the word of God, the people who follow you will find it easy to disregard God's word. If you never preach about the eternal damnation that will come to a soul who continues in sin because you don't want the flock to be uncomfortable, you are building people who, would be indifferent about where they would spend their eternity, and their blood would be on your head. James 3:1 says:


My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.


Ministers of God will receive a stricter judgment. What example are you setting for your flock? I pray that, when the Master return, you will not be ashamed.


PRAYER POINT

Heavenly Father, help me not to fail in my assignment over Your people, in Jesus name.

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
