Open Heavens Ddaily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboyes

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4TH, 2023.


THEME:  REMEMBER YOUR FIRST LOVE


MEMORISE:  

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 

Revelation 2:4 


READ: Revelation 2:4 -5

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.


5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.


MESSAGE

Today, l want you to flash your mind back to when you first got born again. I want you to remember how excited you were about Jesus Christ then. Remember your disposition whenever it was time to go to Church. Remember how often you read your Bible and prayed. Remember how desperately you wanted to get closer to God. Now look at your life today. Are you passionate about God as you were in those days? Beloved, remember your first love.


I will never forget the testimony of a sister who didn't have enough money to come to Holy Ghost Service and decided to watch it on television only to discover she had no electricity man no fuel to power her generator. She said, "Devil, you are a liar. My God change water to wine, He will change water to petrol". She poured a gallon of water into the generator, laid hands on it and said, "Generator, in the mighty name of Jesus, start working". She turned it on and it worked until the programme ended. That is faith. Is your faith still like that, or do you now rationalize everything.


To, get back to your first love, you must once again go back to meditating on His word day and night. You must go back to spending more time with Him than you do with anyone else. You must choose to have His as the first person you speak to when you wake in the morning and the last you say goodnight to. You must choose to study your Bible and pray for long hours as you used to. Beloved, remember your first love.


One thing l need to warn you about is that God relates with us based on who we are and not who we were. He said in Ezekiel 18:21-24 that if a person has been doing good and then the fellow decides to become bad, He would forget the days of good and deal with the fellow based on his current disposition and vice versa.


Who are you to God now? The wonderful stories of your closeness to Him in the past do not matter anymore; the issue now is: how close are you to Him today? Beloved, return to your first love.


KEY POINT

Beloved, remember your first love.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 22-23


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 31:  WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE 


1 Wonderful story of love!

Tell it to me again;

Wonderful story of love!

Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,

Shepherds with wonder receive it;

Sinner, O won’t you believe it?

Wonderful story of love!


Refrain:

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!


2 Wonderful story of love!

Though you are far away;

Wonderful story of love!

Still he doth call today.

Calling from Calvary’s mountain,

Down from the crystal bright fountain,

E’en from the dawn of creation;

Wonderful story of love!


3 Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;

Wonderful story of love!

For all the pure and blest;

Rest in those mansions above us,

With those who’ve gone on before us,

Singing the rapturous chorus;

Wonderful story of love!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 


DATE:  FRIDAY  FEBRUARY 3RD 2023


THEME:  LOVING GOD TRULY 


MEMORISE: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 5:3 


READ: Luke 16:13 


13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


MESSAGE


In our Bible reading for today, Jesus Christ made it clear that you either love God or mammon; it is not possible to love the two at the same time.Loving God one hundred percent takes care of the second commandment which says, 'Love your neighbours as yourself' because in John 4:20, the Bible says, "lf a man say, l love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"


If you love Jesus, God will love you specially in return and He will dwell with you (John 14:23). Romans 8:28 says, "All things work together for good to them that love God." Irrespective of whatever may be happening; it will end up for your good, because according to Romans 8:37, you will be more than a conqueror. If you fight without God, you are bound to lose. If you fight and ask for God's support, you'll win but may have some scars. If God does the fighting for you, He will win on your behalf and hand over the victory to you. That is what makes you more than a conqueror.  


John 15:14 says, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever l command you". Obey God's commandments if you truly love Him. You can also show that you love Him by giving. In I Kings 3:3-4, the Bible says that Solomon loved the Lord and this sacrificed unto Him.


An evangelist went to Ghana when it was still called the Gold Coast. He met a woman who was sos poor that she had only one dress that she wore every day. She gave her life to Christ one day, she dropped a gold coin into the offering basket. The evangelist asked, "Looking at you, l'm suspecting you stole this gold coin from your master". The woman said "No, l didn't steal; l sold myself as a slave and this is the payment made to me. That is a great demonstration of truly loving God.


Do you truly love God?


KEY POINT


The proof of your love for God lies in your obedience to His word and commitment to Kingdom projects.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 19-21


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 


HYMN 31:  WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE

Refrain:


Wonderful! Wonderful!


Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!


2 Wonderful story of love!


Though you are far away;


Wonderful story of love!


Still he doth call today.


Calling from Calvary’s mountain,


Down from the crystal bright fountain,


E’en from the dawn of creation;


Wonderful story of love!


3 Wonderful story of love!


Jesus provides a rest;


Wonderful story of love!


For all the pure and blest;

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2ND, 2023.


THEME: WATCH THAT INTIMACY II


MEMORISE: 

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 

Psalms 41:9 


READ: Micah 7:1 -7

1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.


2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.


3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.


4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.


5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.


6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.


7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.


MESSAGE

Today, l want to share with you a secret that took many great men and women a long time and a lot of pain to learn: it is that you must be very careful who you bring close to you.  Most of the people who parade themselves as friends are not genuine. For some of them, they had ulterior motives from the beginning of your friendship while for many others, the moment things get a little tough, they betray your friendship. Only a few, and I mean a tiny little number of people can be called real friends,


The information you let out to someone can never be retrieved, so you have to be careful what you tell your "friends". When I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God, I became very close to two brothers. One day, God revealed to me that one of them is not a real friend, but a wolf in sheep's clothing. I confronted him about it and he strongly denied being a fake friend to me. A few years later, when I became General Overseer, I was going to discuss my new role with him when he opened up and told me that he hated me from the day I came into the Church. Many of us have had similar betrayals; unfortunately, not everyone learns from their experiences.


Your real friends are those who are happy when you are happy and sad when you are sad. When the soldiers came to arrest the Lord Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (John 18:1-10), Peter drew a sword and tried to defend Jesus. How can one man stand against several armed soldiers? He faced them as if it were he they had come to take. That is a friend. Judas on the other hand in John 12:3-6 showed that he only cared about himself and not Jesus. When he saw a woman pouring expensive ointment on Jesus, he should have been happy to see his friend being celebrated that much, but instead, he complained and tried to stop the woman worshipping Him. That is not a true friend. You need to watch out for these things over a long period of time with the help of the Holy Ghost, to sift out who your true friends are.


KEY POINT

Be careful who you bring close to you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 16-18


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 11: I'VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS


1 I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Apple-tree of trees, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay,

He tells me every care on Him to roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.


2 He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;

In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;

I’ve all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn

From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.


3 He’ll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,

While I live by faith and do His blessed will;

A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,

With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:

He’s the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
