Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY JANUARY 16TH, 2023.

THEME: RAISING AN ALTAR UNTO GOD

MEMORISE: 

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. 

Leviticus 6:13

READ: Genesis 28:11 -19

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

MESSAGE

Abraham was a man who raised many altars for God (Genesis 13:4, Genesis 13:18, Genesis 22:9). Little wonder why he had transgenerational blessings. An altar is a meeting place between God and man. In our Bible reading for today, we see how, even when Jacob was unaware that he was at an altar, he saw in a dream that the place was a meeting point between heaven and earth. For example, an altar can be a corner of your room, if you are living in a one-room apartment. You could set aside a corner in your room with a commitment to meet with God  there regularly. You must treat the place as holy; because that is the altar of the Almighty God. The moment you set aside that place as an altar to God, any time you go there, God would be waiting.

When man goes to an altar, he does so to offer sacrifices to God and to worship Him. In Genesis 22:1-14 when God asked Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. He asked him to go to a particular place, raise an altar there and present a sacrifice. When visiting a great man, because of how much  you honour him, you don't go empty-handed, so why do so when going to meet with the Most High God? Don't go to God empty handed. If you don't have anything at all, He will accept a sacrifice of praise (Jeremiah 17:26).

When God comes to meet man on the altar, He comes to bless. (Psalm 67:5-7) tells us that when praises go up blessings come down. In Genesis 22:15-18, when Abraham brought Isaac to the altar to be offered, God stopped him and said, "You have done your part, let me do mine, in blessing l will bless You, in multiplying, l will multiply your seed". God meets with His children during services to bless them, especially those who come with a sacrifice. I raised an altar in a small room inside the first house l lived in the Redemption Camp well over 29 years ago. The house is now called the 'Open Heavens International Centre'. Since the place was marked out as an altar, up to today, people who go there to pray in faith receive mighty miracles from God that even l find amazing.

ACTION POINT

Identify a specific part of your house or environment that you will mark out as your altar and ensure you meet God there regularly.

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.

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.

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!
