Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11TH, 2023.

THEME: STAND UP FOR CHRIST EVERYWHERE 

MEMORISE: 

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 

Psalms 137:6

READ: Daniel 1:8 -20

8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.

11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.

16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

MESSAGE

In our Bible reading for today, we see how Daniel, Hananiah, Mishel, and Azariah rejected the king's food so as not to defile themselves. Though they were slaves in a strange land, these boys were determined to maintain their consecration to God. 

Unfortunately, there are many Christians who begin to behave like the people of the world the moment they get to a land where nobody know them. We see several examples of such  in the Bible. Let us consider Lot. He was Abraham's nephew and must have been trained according to the instructions of God, but when the Angels got to Sodom and Gomortah, who did they find at the gate of the city (Genesis 19:1). He ended up losing all that he had amassed, including his wife.

Whenever you find yourself, you must live by the standard of the Most High God. Some Christian students resume in the University and dump all the consecration they maintained while at home. They start mixing with ungodly friends and join them to lead sinful lives. Some others travel to a different country or state and begin to misbehave.

Be warned! When Daniel got to a strange land, he ensured he kept the company with fellow believers. When you get to a strange land, locate other believers - people who are on fire for God - and befriend them. Join a Bible- believing church where you can continue to serve God as you used to back at home. When you refuse the king's meat and wine in that strange land so as to stay pure, God will defend you at all times.

When Hananiah, Mishel, and Azariah (now renamed Shadrach, Meshac, and Abednego by their captors) were thrown into fiery furnace, the fire could not burn them because they took a stand for God (Daniel 3). When Daniel was thrown into the lion's den, the lions could not eat him because he had not defiled himself by indulging in the sinful lifestyle of the inhabitants of the land (Daniel 6). Stand out for Christ anywhere you find yourself and Christ will stand up for you too.

KEY POINT

Maintain your consecration unto God every where you find yourself.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 36-38

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 20: STAND UP STAND UP FOR JESUS

1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

his army he shall lead

till ev'ry foe is vanquished

and Christ is Lord indeed.

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger

and strength to strength oppose.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with prayer;

where duty calls or danger,

be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY JANUARY 10TH, 2023.

THEME: SOW GOOD SEED AHEAD.

MEMORISE: 

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 

Galatians 6:7

READ: Psalms 20:1-3

1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

MESSAGE

There is a popular wise saying that in time of peace, prepare for war. Similarly, before you have a need, sow seeds ahead, so that when a storm arises, your seeds will speak for you. Sow pseeds of service to God now because a time is coming when you will be so old, you will not have the strength to run around doing God's work. Even if you don't face any storm at all in your lifetime, a time is coming when you will face the storm of death. At that time, God will ask you,  what did you use the talents l gave you for?

Sow good seeds now because when a storm comes you would need them to speak for you. When you read the story of the sinful woman in Luke 7:37-38, you would see that she sowed a seed that day by washing Jesus' feet with her tears and wiping them with her hair. She also poured a very costly ointment on Him and Jesus took note of her. May you do something today that will cause God to take note of you.

During a meeting with my covenant partners some years ago, l told them to ask God just one thing. There was a woman amongst them who had been barren for many years and what she asked God for was a baby. She got pregnant and went to the U.S. for tests, but the doctor said that there were high chances of the baby being HIV positive and would have to be evacuated. She refused and cried to the Lord, asking for a sign that would convince her that He heard her prayer. He responded, "Go home, before you get there, you will get a sign".  It was during her return to Nigeria that we ran into each other on the plane. She started screaming and when l asked her what the issue was, she explained to me. I prayed with her and a few months later, she delivered the baby safe and sound. The baby was HiIV negative and even her husband who had been HIV positive also became negative. Her seed spoke for her.

May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble and remember all your offerings in Jesus' name.

REFLECTION 

Have you sown seeds that can speak for you when storms arise.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 32-35

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 21: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.

4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY JANUARY 9TH, 2023.

THEME: EVERYONE NEEDS GOOD FRIENDS

MEMORISE: 

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. 

Proverbs 18:24

READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9 -10

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

MESSAGE

Love is a two way street (Proverbs 8:17). You show someone love, and typically, they will show you love in return. If you want to make friends with people, show yourself friendly to them first (Proverbs 18:24). If you want them to favour you, favour them first. I have seen people arrive at my house frowning but depart with beaming smiles after experiencing my wife's hospitality. Indeed, some people don't have friends because they don't show themselves friendly.

Several years ago, one of my daughters came to me and said, "Daddy, l'm this old and nobody has approached me to say, 'Thus saith the Lord...'". I said, "With the way you glare at everybody as if you are spoiling for a fight, who is going to approach you and say, "Thus saith the Lord" even if God is actually speaking? You never smile; you are always looking as if somebody offended you, and so, if a brother should even be coming your way, one look at your face is enough to make him change his mind. "Thank God she took the feedback graciously and made the necessary changes. It wasn't long after that she got married. Love should be reciprocal.

Whether you believe it or not, everyone needs good friends. Our Bible reading for today says for the one who has no friend, WHEN he falls, there would be on one to lift him. Take note that the word 'when' was used, not 'if'. Everyone will have times when they need someone to lift them; God forbid that there is no one to lift you when the time comes. Proverbs 18:24 says that there are some friends that stick closer than a brother. You need friends, so show yourself friendly to those around you.

You must, however, choose your friend carefully because, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs  27:17), so does evil communication (bad company) corrupt good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33). Everyone needs good friends, and the greatest friend of all is our Lord Jesus Christ. Surrender your life to Him today if you haven't, so you can also become His friend (John 15:15).

REFLECTION

Are you friendly to your neighbours and colleagues?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 29-31

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.
