Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1ST, 2023.

THEME: WATCH THAT INTIMACY

MEMORISE: 

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 

2 Timothy 2:22

READ: Proverbs 6:23 -28

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

MESSAGE

Building healthy relationships and getting close to people - especially fellow believers is good. All relationships, however, must be clearly defined and never allowed to become a source or platform for sin. For example, the Pastor can know the name of a sister in the Church and the department she works in - that is an expected level of intimacy. Her friend in that department can know her house, parents, place of work, likes and dislikes - that is another level of intimacy. However, due to a higher level of intimacy between spouses, her husband is expected to know more about her than anyone else.

There is a level of intimacy that a brother should never have with a sister he is not married to and vice versa. When you notice that you are getting so close to someone that you can hardly go one hour without thinking about that fellow, you need to cut that relationship. When you notice that if a colleague who is a member of the opposite sex does not come to the office, you are not yourself that day, there is fire on the mountain that must be addressed immediately before it destroys you. 

Many people have fallen into adultery and fornication because they had a seemingly harmless relationship with a "friend". Any friend who knows you more than your spouse could easily become a home breaker. Any friend you feel more comfortable talking with than you do  talking to your spouse is a potential enemy. No one should know you better than your spouse. If someone of the opposite sex is trying to know you more intimately than they should, be firm about letting them know their limit.

A man does not need to know where any woman he is not married to shops for her underwear - that information is not for his ears. Any woman who is not a man's wife doesn't need to know what particularly excites him-that information is for his better half only.

My people in Nigeria say that when a handshake is beginning to get to elbow, it's time to pull back.

KEY POINT

Set boundaries for every relationship you are involved in. Don't get intimate with the wrong fellow, thereby finding yourself in hell.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 14-15

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Ev'ry hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

2 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r

When Thou art nigh.

3 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain.

4 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboyes

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY JANUARY 31ST, 2023.

THEME: DO YOU KNOW JESUS 

MEMORISE: 

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 

Job 13:15 

READ: Luke 7:2 -10

Luke 7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

Luke 7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

Luke 7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

Luke 7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

Luke 7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

Luke 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

Luke 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Luke 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Luke 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

MESSAGE

How well do you know Jesus has a lot to do with what you can get from Him. In Matthew 8:1-3, the Bible says a leper (note that humanly speaking, leprosy was an incurable disease) came unto Him and said "I know that you can make me clean". He did not say, "I believe", He said "l know". He knew Jesus could heal him without any doubt and he got his miracle. In Mark 5:25-34, the woman with the issue of blood was saying, in essence, "I know that man, I know there is enough anointing in his clothes to take care of my problem". In Luke 7:2-10, the centurion more or less said, "l know that when you command sickness, it obeys you". When you know the kind of person you are talking to when you are praying, you can get anything you want.

After the successful completion of one of our annual conventions in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, I was extremely tired, so I told my wife and children that I was going to bed and did not want any disturbance. A woman came from the North just around the time I got into the bed and asked my children, "Is Daddy at home?" My children could not lie, so they said "Yes". "I need to see him" she said. "He is not coming out again today they replied. "Who is talking about today?  Since he is in, no, problem; l will stay here until he comes out". She stayed by the door. They gave her food, but she did not leave that spot. She just sat there by the door.

At some point, my wife had to come and wake me up and l reminded her I had said I shouldn't be disturbed at all. She eventually got me to climb out of the bed to attend to the woman. She requested that I should just touch her head as she was confident that her situation would turn around for good. She knew and got her miracle.

When you go to God, praying in the name of Jesus, do you really know that God hears you? Do you really know that the God who can hear you has the ability to do whatever you are asking Him for? Do you really know that He wants to solve your problem? If you know, then congratulations, because your problems are already over.

ACTION POINT 

Approach God in prayer now, knowing fully well that He can hear you and solve all your problems. Go ahead and ask Him for whatever you want.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 11-13

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.

Open Heaven Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboy

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY JANUARY 30TH, 2023.

THEME: BEWARE OF GOD'S PERMISSIVE WILL

MEMORISE: 

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by they? 

Ezekiel 14:3

READ: Numbers 22:12 -22

12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.

14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.

16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:

17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

MESSAGE

Many a time when we have a plan, we present it to God and He says, "No way". We then say, "l know how to twist God's hand". We begin to fast, pray, seek His face and then finally, we come round and say, "Lord, what about that plan?"  He could then say, "Go ahead". You had better not go anywhere. As children of God, it is our duty to obey Him promptly and completely at all times.

In our Bible reading for today, a king asked Prophet Balaam to curse lsrael. Balaam asked God and He said "No". The king then sent some other people to tell Balaam that he 

would promote and enriched him if he would curse Israel. Balaam then decided to check back with God and the Lord said, "Okay, if you want to go, go". On the way, God sent an angel to block his way. It was Balaam's donkey that saw the angel; the Prophet, blinded by greed, couldn't even see what a donkey could. Whenever you are so interested in something that you manage to 'twist God's hand' to permit you to have it, you would be blinded by it and may run into serious trouble because of your inability to see clearly and objectively. If you do a little research to trace the history of 

Balaam, you would see that he ended up dying by the sword.

One area where Christians often pursue God's permissive will is in marriage and many of them have regretted it afterwards. The fact that God allow Hagar to give birth when Abraham went in unto her while Sarah was considered barren does not mean that the latter was the one through whom God's covenant with Abraham would come to pass (Genesis 17:21).

It doesn't matter how good the permissive will looks, you better go for God's express will. Sister, that young man you like may be more financially secure than the one God says you should choose; don't be fooled by today, God knows tomorrow, and He is instructing you based on that knowledge.

Ask the Lord to reveal His express will to you, because if you 'twist His arm' so you can have things your way, the end may be bitter.

KEY POINT

Don't go to God insisting on your own plan; He may permit it, but you may regret it.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 8-10

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 

1 When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 

2 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey.

3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey.

4 Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.
