Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 8TH, 2023.


THEME: TOTAL SURRENDER 1


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

Everyone who surrenders all to Jesus will enjoy many great blessings. Unfortunately, many Christians don't know this, often choosing to do their own will rather than submitting completely to God. Beloved, don't be mad be 'one leg in and one leg out'. Don't be lukewarm. 


How do you know if you have totally surrendered to God? Check your decision making process. Do you involve God in the decision on what to do per time? Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:20,  "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless l live; yet not l, but Christ liveth in me: and the live which l now live in the flesh l,live by the faith of the son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."


When you are totally surrendered to,God, you would de living to do His good pleasure (Phillipians 2:13). Have you really surrendered to God?


The interesting thing is that start out in total surrender to God, but as He begins to,prosper them, that surrender diminishes. When they were living in a small apartment, it was easy to surrender their home for use as House Fellowship, but when God rewarded them with a mansion in a highbrow estate, they would claim that the security measures in their community would make that difficult.


The higher you go, the greater should be your surrender to God.


There was a brother in the Church many years ago who never missed a service, but then one day, a man of God came to preach and prophesied to him that he would soon become a millionaire". Within six months, this brother's life had changed dramatically. Before long, he stopped coming to Church, claiming that he had become so,busy as his business had expanded. One day, l heard he had a stroke so l sent for him. When he arrived, he explained that he had the stroke upon learning that a contract had been withdrawn from him at the stage when he would be paid. If only he had totally surrendered to the Lord who blessed him! May you surrender totally to God as He blesses you, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, please grant me the grace to totally surrender my life to You, in the name of Jesus. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 3-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD


1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.


Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.


2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.


3 O the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend!


4 There are depths of love that I yet may know

Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

Open Heavens Daily Devotionalby Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7TH, 2023.


THEME: YOUR TOMORROW SHALL BE ALL RIGHT


MEMORISE: 

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 

Psalm 42:5 


READ: Psalms 42:3 -5

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?


4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.


5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.


MESSAGE

Beloved, I have one simple message for you today: Don't write yourself off. In our memory verse for today, David told his soul to hope in the Lord and know that he would still praise God for His help. Any time you feel despair, any time you feel there is no hope, tell yourself, "No, I am not going to end like this, one day, I too will testify of the help of God in my life".


Many years ago, when my wife and I just got married and things were tough, I would tell her, "Don't worry, things won't go on like this; our tomorrow will be all right" and indeed, God has been faithful. I am saying to you reading this devotional today: your tomorrow will be alright in the name of Jesus. 


Not long before Sarah had Isaac, she had written herself off. The Almighty God said she would have a son and she laughed because she considered it impossible as she was ninety years old already. No matter how long you may have been waiting for that miracle, don't write yourself off. My God is a master at reversing the irreversible; He will show up for you, in Jesus' name.


In Luke 5:1-11 the Lord Jesus Christ Himself promised Simon Peter he would no longer catch fish, but men. Three and a half years later, at a time that it appeared Jesus needed him the most, Peter denied the Lord and then wept bitterly because he saw himself as a failure. He was supposed to be catching men for Jesus but rather, he was denying ever knowing Him (Luke 22:55-62). After Jesus died and nothing seemed to be happening, Peter decided to go back to fishing (John 21:3). May you never backslide, in Jesus' name.


By verse 4 of John 21, Jesus had shown up for Peter. This time Jesus said Peter would not only catch men, but also feed them. The first sermon Peter preached after that brought 3,000 souls into the kingdom of God (Acts 2:41). In Acts 3:1-8, he made a lame man walk in the name of this same Jesus who he had denied. By Acts 5:14-16, his shadow had started healing the sick. No matter how many times you may have denied or disappointed Jesus, as long as you are truly repentant God can restore and use you as mightily as He did Peter; all you have to do,is repent and never go back into sin.


KEY POINT 

It is not over for you yet; God is still coming to reverse the irreversible for your sake.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 1-2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 5: BLESSED ASSURANCE


1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.


Refrain:

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.


2 Perfect submission, perfect delight

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

Angels descending, bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.


3 Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Savior am happy and blest;

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 6TH, 2023.


THEME: TRUE PROTECTION 


MEMORISE: 

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 

Isaiah 8:19


READ: Psalms 91:1 -16

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.


3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.


4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.


5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;


6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.


7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.


8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.


9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;


10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.


11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.


12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.


13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.


14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.


15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.


16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.


MESSAGE

The world has become such an unsafe place that everyone needs to move around with some protection. Those who are rich enough often employ armed bodyguards but this can never be sufficient. Some other people choose to go to the devil for protection but this would always land them into much more trouble. I recall the story of a boy in my village who was always getting bitten by snakes. We later found out that his father had taken him to an oracle for protection against snakes bites; that was the beginning of incessant snakes bites. John 10:10 says that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. The devil is your enemy; don't be fooled when he says he wants to protect you. His ultimate goal is to steal from you, kill you and destroy you.


A woman once brought her four daughters to us for prayers. The youngest was 28 years old and no man had approached any of the to ask for their hand in marriage. After a little investigation, the woman confessed that, to protect her children from dying, she had consecrated them to ifa oracle. What she did not know is that, by so doing, she had simply given the ifa oracle new wives. We prayed and God broke the link between the girls and the oracle. The four of them got married within a year. The devil is your enemy; don't go to him for protection.


There is only one real source of protection that cannot fail and that is the protection from God Himself. Being the Almighty means that He is mightier than the mightiest. Matthew 28:16 says Jesus has all power in heaven and on earth. Phillippians 2:10  says that just at the mention of His name, every knee in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth should bow. That includes physical and spiritual enemies. This same God said in Hebrews 13:5 "...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." When He is protecting you, you can sleep with both eyes closed; no evil can befall you, because you dwell in His secret place (Psalm 91:1).


Those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High spend quality time with Him daily. They are the ones who abide under His shadow.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, put me under Your shadow from today in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 26-27


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.
