OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SUNDAY JANUARY 15TH, 2023.

THEME: YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM

MEMORISE: 

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 

John 15:5

READ: Luke 19:29 -38

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

MESSAGE

I heard someone preaching recently and he said if God leaves him, there will be little left. I don't know how come in his case, there would still be anything left. As for me, l am fully aware that without God, l am nothing, absolutely nothing and l tell Him that regularly.

I preached a sermon at the commissioning into ministry of one of my sons about 40 years ago, l told them about the ass that Jesus rode in our Bible reading for today. The ass must have suddenly looked around and seen people laying down their clothes on the ground for him to walk on, with a lot of singing and dancing going on as he passed by. He must have really felt special. However, the moment Jesus got down and left him, he was abandoned. By then he must have been far from home and probably did not even know his way back. He must have passed by humans and instead of rejoicing like before, they most likely chased it away. At best, he would have ended up as a laborer on a farm. Beloved, the moment God leaves you, you are finished. You think you're smart? Just a little tweak of a professor's brain and he can become a mad man roaming the streets.

When people see me living holy, being humble, obeying God to the letter, it is because l don't want Him to leave me. I don't want to look around and discover that He is no longer with me. I don't want to pray and have Him ignore my prayers. I am imploring you my beloved, don't do anything that would make God leave you.

At some point on the cross, Jesus cried, "Father, why hast thou forsaken me" (Matthew 27:46). Think about it: when the whole world turned against Him, He did not mind, but when the Father turned from Him, He cried. Even if the whole world turns against you, you are fine as long as God is still on your side. Without God, you are nothing.

KEY POINT

Don't ever do anything that could make God leave you. Stay far away from sin.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY JANUARY 14TH, 2023.

THEME: ONLY BY GRACE

MEMORISE: 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 

John 15:16 

READ: Romans 9:15 -26

15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

MESSAGE

Some people think that God is doing great things for them because they deserve it. They think because of all that they do for God, then it is only expected that he would bless them as He does. Believe me honestly, everything that God does, He does for His name's sake - not for you, but that His name will be glorified (Psalm 106:7-8).

Don't become arrogant, God could use anyone else. There are people who pray, study the Bible and are even more talented than you, but God chose you; you should be grateful for that. In any case, if we were to count iniquity, who will stand? (Psalm 130:3). When people see the things God is doing in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, they think l must be special. The only thing special about me is that God chose me, because even from as far back as when l was a little child, God had promised my Father-in-the Lord that The Redeemed Christian Church of God would go round the world. It had nothing to do with me at all; God just decided to glorify Himself through this Church and it is only by grace that He chose me to be the General Overseer. He could have chosen anyone else. There are people far more qualified than l, but it is by grace that l was chosen.

When you see people still drowning in sin, don't judge them because you are on your way to heaven; rather pray that God will save them by His grace. It is by His grace that you are not on the way to hell. Never forget that it is He who is working something out for His name's sake. You are only graced to be a recipient of God's blessings. The people of Israel may have thought that God parted the Red Sea and drowned Pharaoh and his army because they were special. He did it for His name's sake. They were only graced to be the ones He did it for. Romans 9:17 testifies to this:

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have l raised thee up, that l might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

PRAYER POINT

Father, thank You for Your grace over my life. Please, don't let me ever stop enjoying help from Your throne of grace.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 44-46

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 2: AMAZING GRACE

1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch; like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY JANUARY 13TH, 2023.

THEME: KILL PRIDE

MEMORISE: 

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 

James 4:6

READ: Proverbs 16:5 

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

MESSAGE

More often than not, the people who provoke God do so through pride. The most junior staff in an organization would typically be humble and submissive. However, the day the person begins to feel overly important, he or, she will start provoking some people. The moment you become proud, you begin to provoke God. Never forget that no matter how high you go, God is still the Most High.

God usually deals with proud people in two ways. The first is by recalling such a person suddenly and in a disgraceful manner. In Acts 12:20-24, King Herod's pride made him consent to being compared to the Most High. This made God order worms to eat him up alive. The Lord said, "Oh you think you are big because you are the commander-in-Chief of some armies? I have armies that don't carry guns - ordinary worms". One moment Herod was sitting on the throne, the next moment, he was being eaten by worms. However, the Lord could also decide to disgrace the fellow openly while preserving his or her life. That is what He did to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:28-37.

Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest king of his time. He built a city called Babylon, which had one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. At a point, God saw that he was becoming proud and sent him a warning through a dream. Unfortunately, one year after the message came, he had forgotten it, so God said, "Okay, you think you are big? Go and eat with animals for seven years". Nobody removed his royal robes from him, he removed them with his own hands. If there is something that must leave your life permanently today, it is pride.

Be careful as you rise, so as not to begin to feel like you are overly important. The elders says that when cockroach falls, nobody hears the sound; when an ant falls, the ground doesn't tremble, but if an elephant falls, the tremors would be felt both near and far. If God is elevating you, be wary of pride so that it doesn't become a case of Him raising up an elephant so that when it falls everyone would pay attention, like in the case of Pharaoh (Romans 9:17).

KEY POINT 

If there is something that must leave your life permanently today, it is pride.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 42-43

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

3 O the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love that I yet may know

Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

Ere I rest in peace with Thee.
