Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10TH, 2023.

THEME: LIVING HOLY

MEMORISE: 

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 

READ: 1 Peter 5:8 -10

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

MESSAGE

God is holy and He has commanded all His children to be holy (1 Peter 1:16) by distancing themselves from sin through the help of the Holy Spirit. Today's memory verse is saying, in essence, that the moment you start sniffing at things you should not eat, you are already halfway into dangerous territory. For example, a brother shouldn't going alone on visitation to the house of an unmarried lady - this is a step towards sin. By the time he would be coming out of that place, anyone could later accuse him of fornication and it would be his word against theirs.

Sin usually starts like a harmless thing, but that is why the Bible says that the devil is wily - a trickster (Ephesians 6:11); if you yield to it because it seems harmless, you are already falling into his trap. May you not fall for the  tricks of the devil, in Jesus' name. Like our Bible reading for today admonishes, you must be sober and vigilant at all times if you don't want to fall for the  wiles of the devil.

I have always cautioned my children not to employ someone of the opposite sex as a Secretary or Personal Assistant. Doing so would put you close to the devil's abattoir and if you don't retrace your steps, the devil would butcher your soul. You would be working closely with this person - many times alone and sometimes even late into the night. You may say l am not modern, but l became born again in 1973 and l am still standing up to now. It is better to be 'old-school' and remain standing than to be modern and then fall. Be honest with yourself: you know those things that you are already toying with which can lead you into sin - for instance, the kind of movies you watch, the websites you visit, the social media accounts you follow, the conversations you have.

As you stay far from things that will lead to sin, you must also move close to the things of God. You must never joke with your quite time. That is the time that you spend alone with God every day. Spend that time studying the Bible and praying. You must never forsake fellowship with the brethren. Every day, draw closer to God; flee evil and you will discover that living holy is easier than you think.

PRAYER POINT 

Almighty God, please grant unto me today the strength I need to stay away from sin and move closer and closer to You , in the mighty name of Jesus.

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: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 9TH, 2023.

THEME: TOTAL SURRENDER II

MEMORISE: 

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 

Luke 6:38 

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

My God is not a man that He should owe anyone; He is not a bank that 'keeps' your money but depletes it with charges. When you give God one thing, you can get a thousand in return. I am a living testimony of this. I surrendered my Ph.D, thriving career in academics and ambition to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa to Him; in return. He raised me so high that many Vice Chancellors call me "Daddy". Whatever you surrender to God comes back to you in many folds.

The woman in the Bible reading for today surrendered her last meal to the prophet of God. That one meal became enough to feed three people for the rest of the famine. The boy in John 6:9-11 surrendered his lunch; five loaves of bread and two fishes. These were multiplied to the extent that twelve baskets of fragments were gathered afterwards. There is nothing you surrender to God that he does not multiply and return to you - absolutely nothing.

Many a time, God has something big He wants to give to you, but could ask you to surrender something dear to you first. If you could go ahead and surrender that thing, then you would get what He had already planned to give you, which is usually much bigger and better than what you gave Him. God wanted to bless Abraham the more, so He asked the man to sacrifice his son to Him. God didn't need the boy; my Daddy does not eat children. He just wanted Abraham to surrender totally to Him so as to open the door of blessing to himself irreversibly. Abraham passed the test and today, in his seed shall all the nation's of the earth be blessed (Genesis 22:16-18).

Don't short-change yourself. Don't hold on to crumbs, letting go of great treasures in the process. If He specifically asked for that thing, you can be sure that He has something greater in mind to give you in return. You can either reject His offer or accept it - it all depends on your willingness to surrender all to Him.

KEY POINT 

Whatever you surrender to God comes back to you in many folds.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 5-6

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,

Standing on the promises of God.

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 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.

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.
