Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY JANUARY 19TH, 2023.


THEME: LEARN FROM OTHERS


MEMORISE: 

It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. 

1 Samuel 15:11 


READ: 1 Corinthians 10:1 -11

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;


2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;


3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;


4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.


5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.


6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.


7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.


8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.


9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.


10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.


MESSAGE

It repenteth me that l have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

1 Samuel 15:11


The first time I read the passage above, it was shocking to me that God would repent. I had read messages in the Bible like Ezekiel 33:14-16 where God said if He says to the wicked that he will die, but the wicked changes his ways, then He wouldn't let him die anymore. However; what is mind-boggling about Saul's case is that this is a different kind of repentance. Of a truth, Saul was a very humble, diligent and responsible young man before he became king. In 1 Samuel 9:3-4, his father sent him on an errand to search for some missing animals. Saul kept searching and was determined not to return home until he found them. God is Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8), He knows the end from the beginning (Acts 15:18), how can somebody like that repent of the decision He had made? One day, the Lord used the scripture below to provide an answer to my question.


Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1 Corinthians 10:11


All the stories we read in the Bible, even some of the things happening around us today, are supposed to be lessons to us. One could therefore say that He looks for scapegoats the to use to teach others lesson. Now, there are two questions you should ask yourself from this revelation: first, are you really learning lessons from the examples that God has given you in the Bible and around you? Have you learnt from Judas lscariot's case that greed can destroy a person both here and in eternity? Have you learned from Samson that sexual sins will reduce a strong man to a piece of bread (Proverbs 6:26)? Have you learn from the examples around you?


REFLECTION 

Are you currently indulging in sin? What can you learn from the Bible about the repercussions of that sin.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 11-13


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 6: I AM SO GLAD THAT OUR FATHER IN HEAV'N


1 I am so glad that our Father in heav’n

Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see:

This is the dearest, that

Jesus loves me.


Refrain:

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.


2 Though I forget Him and wander away,

Still He doth love me whenever I stray;

Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,

When I remember that Jesus loves me.


3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be:

“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

DATE: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 18TH, 2023.


THEME: SACRIFICES CAN AVERT DISASTERS 


MEMORISE: 

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. 

2 Samuel 24:25 


READ: 1 Kings 17:8 -16

8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,


9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.


10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.


11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.


12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.


13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.


14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.


15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.


16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.


MESSAGE

In our Bible text for today, we read about a widow of Zarephath who had only one meal left. She and her son were going to eat and die. She sacrificed that one meal and she and her son lived on. In Psalm 50:14 - 15 the Bible says if you offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and pay your vows, God will deliver you in the day of trouble. In  2 Samuel 24: 11-25, seventy thousand men had died from a pestilence that arose in lsrael due to David conducting a census that displeased God. This was a big disaster and something had to be done immediately to stop it. They had prayed and, although God had stopped the angel that was spreading the plague, He did not recall him, the angel remained at the threshing place of Araunah the Jebusite. This still mean trouble, so David's seer - Gad decided that they should apply a principle to avert the disaster.


And Gad came that day to David, and said unto Him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebisite.

2 Samuel 24:16


When David wanted to make the sacrifice, Araunah tried to give everything needed to him for free, but he refused. He insisted that he had to bear the cost. He gave the sacrifice and the disaster was immediately averted. 


And David built an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was untreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from lsrael.

2 Samuel 24:25


The funny thing is that many non-Christians know this principle: that, in the face of impending doom or disaster, a really big sacrificial offering can avert it (2 Kings 3:26-27). We as children of the living God should follow David's example and be ready to give a sacrificial offering, especially in trouble times.


May God help us - the true children of God to apply this principle in order to avert looming disasters in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT

Father, when a disaster seems to be looming around me, teach me what to do and give me the grace to do it.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 8-10


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME


1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save me from its guilt and power.


2 Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All could never sin erase,

Thou must save, and save by grace.


3 Nothing in my hands I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress,

Helpless, look to Thee for grace:

Foul, I to the fountain fly,

Wash me, Savior, or I die.


4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY  JANUARY 17TH, 2023.


THEME: THE LIVING SACRIFICE


MEMORISE: 

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Romans 12:1


READ: Matthew 16:24 -27

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.


26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.


MESSAGE

The sacrifice that pleases God most is your life. You become a living sacrifice the day you surrender your life to Jesus. From the day you genuinely surrender your life to Him, He can send you wherever He wants, set the direction of your life and use you to fulfil His plans. God knows, l never wanted to be a Pastor, talk less of a General Overseer, but l am a living sacrifice. I had wanted to retire at the age of seventy, so that l could then begin to live a normal life - sleep when others sleep, eat when others eat and so on, but God said "No". Since l am a living sacrifice, my response was "Yes, Daddy".


God expects your entire life to be a sacrifice to Him. You are to go wherever He sends you. When He says witness - you witness, sit-you sit, pray- you pray.


The moment God knows that He has you as a living sacrifice, whatever offering you give becomes acceptable because it would be given under His guidance. Some of us, even before coming to Church, have made up our minds on the offering to give. For the fellow who is a living sacrifice, God will tell them what to give.


When l became a General Overseer, things were hard. We could hardly pay the staff on the church's payroll and many a time, there would be nothing left to pay the General Overseer. Having left paid employment for full-time ministry after working for government for several years, l received my gratuity, with plans to save some, invest some in shares and so on. However, since l am a living sacrifice, l asked God, "What do l do with this money?" He responded that l should divide it into three parts and give each to a different ministry while retaining nothing for myself. As painful as this was, l was comforted when He said further, "l will be your source". When you become a living sacrifice, God will become your source. The day you become a living sacrifice, you became His property, so He will take care of you. Things may be hard at first, but He will make sure that your tomorrow will be alright (Colossians 1:27).


REFLECTION

Are you a living sacrifice for God? Can HE decide to do whatever HE pleases with you and all you have.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 5-7


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.

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.
