Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY JANUARY 28TH, 2023.


THEME: JUST ONE MISTAKE


MEMORISE: 

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

2 Corinthians 2:11


READ: 2 Samuel 11:1 -27

1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.


2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.


3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?


4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.


5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.


6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.


7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.


8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.


9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.


10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?


11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.


12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.


13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.


14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.


15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.


16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.


17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.


18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;


19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,


20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?


21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.


22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.


23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.


24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.


25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.


26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.


27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.


MESSAGE

Many Christians think they can fall and rise as they like. I have always said that injuries can heal, but the scars will remain. You may commit a sin and God forgives you, but the consequence of that sin may live with you for the rest of your life and even outlive you. Just one mistake can cause serious problems for even your children yet unborn. In Genesis 16:2, Sarah arranged for Abraham to have an affair with her maid and today, the world is paying for that single mistake.


In Genesis 25:29-34, Esau made a single mistake. He despised his birth right just once and by the time we get, to Genesis 27:30-40, the Bible says he came in just as his brother was stepping out after collecting the blessing. He begged for a remnant blessing and his father assured him that he would prosper, living by the sword, but that he would serve his brother. This happened because of just one mistake.


In 2 Samuel 11, David made a mistake which gave birth to several others. The mistake was that he was relaxing at a time when kings typically went to war. He then saw what he wouldn't ordinarily have seen - a beautiful lady taking her bath. You should ask, "Why was David looking into another man's compound? If you give the devil an inch, he wouldn't just take a mile, but rather, he'll go for your eternity. Before long, the lady was in his bed. She got pregnant and to hide it, he had her husband killed. God sent a prophet to tell David that the sword would never depart from his home. Even today, the sword has not departed from lsrael. It all started with one single mistake of relaxing when he should have been at war.


Some Christians think it is harmless to be sleeping when they should be praying. Before they wake the next day, the devil would sown tares in their field and they would begin to struggle. The unfortunate thing is that they think the struggle is normal and continue in it rather than get up and pray when they should.


Beloved, do not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy who is going around seeking who to devour (1 Peter 5:8). All he needs is one mistake. Do not give it to him.


KEY POINT

If you give the devil an inch, he would not just take a mile, but rather, he'll go for your eternity.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY JANUARY 27TH, 2023.


THEME: THE LAW OF HARVEST


MEMORISE: 

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. 

Hosea 8:7


READ: Genesis 27:18 -23

18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?


19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.


20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.


21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.


22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.


23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.


Genesis 37:26 -35

26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?


27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.


28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.


29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.


30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?


31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;


32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.


33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.


34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.


35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.


MESSAGE

The Law of harvest states that you will reap much more than whatever you sow. This is why you must be careful of the kind of seeds you sow, because when harvest comes, it is always much more than the seed. In our Bible readings for today, we see Jacob sowing a seed in the first passage and then reaping the harvest in the second. In the first passage, he deceived his father in order to get the blessing and so his children also deceived him that Joseph their brother was dead. Genesis 37:35 says:


*"And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For l will go down into the grave unto my son mourning Thus his father wept for him."*


Many a time, the harvest of your seeds comes when you are too old to do anything about it. Everything you do now is a seed and the harvest will come back to you when you may not have as much energy as you do now.


I thank God for some of the seeds l sowed as a young man because l am now reaping the harvests. In 1961, as a 19 year-old, l gave money to a poor, sick old man - a neighbour, so he could get some medicine. The man said to me that someday, l would be traveling abroad as often as people go to market. I laughed at that prophecy because in my village in those days, if anyone was returning from a trip abroad, the entire villages would not go to the farm that day. The hunters would come out and shoot their guns in celebration of the person and everyone would be rejoicing. At that time, there were only 2 people who had gone abroad in my village, and they studied there for a number of years. Now this man was saying that l would be going often. It appeared funny, but l had sown the seed. Today, by God's grace, that prophesy has been fulfilled.


Beloved pay attention to every opportunity you have to sow a good seed. On the other hand, always check your actions to be sure that you are not sowing bad seeds that you will regret when the harvest comes.


KEY POINT

Be very intentional about the seeds you sow today because they will come back in multiple folds tomorrow.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 38-40


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS 


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


Refrain:

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.


3 There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.


4 There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Standing on the promises of God.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY JANUARY 26TH, 2023.


THEME: FOR AN APPOINTED TIME


MEMORISE: 

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 

Habakkuk 2:3 


READ: Habakkuk 2:2 -4

2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.


3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.


4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.


MESSAGE

The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12, _"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is tree of life."_ You may have really been hoping for something, but have not gotten it yet and your heart is beginning to feel sick. Beloved, summon up strength and keep hope alive. Habakkuk 2:3 says  that every vision is for an appointed time. Your appointed time  will soon come in the name of Jesus.


While waiting for their appointed time, many people do things that put a dent in their testimonies. In Genesis 16:2, Sarah asked Abraham to have an extra marital affair with her maid so that the young girl could have a child for him. Sarah gave up hope and compromised. She later regretted it when her appointed time came and she now had her own child. In Genesis 21:10, she told Abraham to send the maid away with her son. Beyond that, l'm sure when she looks down from heaven now and see some of the seeds of that maid attacking her own seeds, she would wish she had kept hope alive.


While waiting for your appointed time, just ensure that you are obeying every instruction of God to the letter, whether it makes sense or not. Many years ago, we were offered the chance to buy all 40 acres of a serene campground called the "Youth Camp", for N100,000. That was a lot of money back then. I gathered my people together and we pray quoting the Scripture:


*Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have l given unto you.* 


Joshua 1:3


We put off our shoes and walked round that camp ground praying and confessing that it was ours, by faith. Not long afterwards, another ministry heard that the property was available for sale and they promptly paid for it. Our hope were dashed, but l encouraged myself in the Lord and kept hope alive. Before long, God led us to where the Redemption Camp is situated, though then it was notorious for being a home for highway robbers and big snakes. We trusted in the Lord and purchased the first parcel of land that has grown to become  Redemption City today. The Redemption City now sits on an expanse of land far greater than what we had earlier wanted to purchase. Thank God that we kept hope alive for our appointed time.


KEY POINT

Your appointed time is coming; don't give up.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 35-37


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,
