OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 18TH, 2023.


THEME: GOD CAN USE YOU TOO


MEMORISE: 

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 

Romans 11:6


READ: 1 Timothy 1:12 -16

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;


13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.


14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.


15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.


16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.


MESSAGE

There are many people in the Church who look at the Pastor as if God cannot use them similarly. They think they cannot heal the sick or even raised the dead, but this is very far from the truth. Maybe you feel so because you believe that you cannot make the same sacrifices that the Pastor makes, especially in fasting and prayers, but that is also not true. Zechariah 4:6 says , "... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts".


Praying for 12 hours nonstop would be generally impractical unless the Holy Spirit helps the person. It is the same Holyspirit in you that is helping those you look up to, spend so much time fasting and praying to the extent that they carry such great anointing. Your willingness and total surrender to God are the major determinants of how much God can use you. Willingness mean that if you decide to fast for 7 days and by the 2nd day, your stomach is protesting, rather than break the fast, you would go to God in prayer for grace to continue. If you plan to pray in tongues between 9 pm and 11 pm everyday, but you get home very late and tired one day -rather than sleeping off by 9 pm, you'll still fall on your knees and compel yourself to pray.


I have always found the story of John Mark very interesting, Acts 15:37-40, tells how this young man - full of zeal, followed Paul and Barnabas in a missionary trip, but got to the mission field and, seeing how difficult things were, especially seeing people stoning them, ran back home. In Acts 15:38, Paul and Barnabas were about to go on another journey and Barnabas wanted John Mark to come with them, but Paul said, "No way, l'm not taking this deserter with me". When you read 2 Timothy 4:11 however, this same Paul now said to Timothy, "Bring John Mark to me, he is useful to me for the ministry ". The Gospel according to Saint Mark is attributed to this same boy who failed on his first missionary journey.


No matter how weak you seem now, with God's help you also can become a pillar in His Kingdom.


PRAYER POINT

Father, give me the grace to pay the price so that I can carry Your anointing.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 27-29


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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17TH, 2023.


THEME: YOU ARE ABOVE DEATH


MEMORISE: 

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 

1 Corinthians 15: 55


READ: 1 Corinthians 15:51 -58

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,


52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.


55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?


56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.


57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.


MESSAGE

When you are a child of God, even when walking in the valley of the shadow of death, you will have nothing to fear because the Lord of hosts is with you (Psalm 23:4). The Bible says in John 11:25:


Jesus said unto her, l am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.


Once you become a child of God, death is no longer something to fear. In fact, it becomes something to look forward to because if Jesus tarried, it would be your passage into heaven where you will be with your Master, without pain or sorrow. Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:21, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."


My fear of death vanished completely from observing my Father-in-the-Lord-Pa Josiah Akindayomi (the founder of The Redeemed Christian Church of God) and his friend sending messages to each other back and forth. One would say, "I will die before you" and the other one would reply, "No, l will surely go, before you". These two men were talking about death like someone talks about going to market. When you are truly redeemed and know that death is only your visa into great bliss and glory, you will live above it


Beloved l banish every fear of death in your life, in Jesus' name.


From today, you will live above death, in Jesus' name. I want you to note however, that if you are not truly born again, if you still have pending restitutions to make, if Jesus is not truly your Lord and Saviour, then you should be afraid of death, because it would then be a visa for you to spend eternity in the lake of fire. 


If you are not yet born again, please say this prayer:


Lord Jesus, l invite You into my life as my Lord and Saviour and never to commit sin  again, to be qualified to be with You  in heaven when l leave this earth. Thank you Lord, in Jesus' name l have prayed.


Congratulations! Now look for a Bible believing Church near you to attend regularly.


KEY POINT

Once you become a child of God, death is no longer something to fear.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 25-26


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: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 16TH, 2023.


THEME: YOU ARE ABOVE ANGELS


MEMORISE: 

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 

Hebrews 1:14


READ: Hebrews 1:13 -14

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?


14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?


MESSAGE

Psalm 91:11-12 says the Lord will command His  angels to carry you in their hands. Hebrews 1:13-14 tells us that angels are ministering spirits - in other words, they are sent to serve those who are children of God. When people ask, "Daddy, why are you traveling alone at night, don't you know it is dangerous?" I tell them l have my bodyguards, only that they cannot be seen - two huge fellows, each one capable of dealing with any amount of confrontations. Their names are Goodness and Mercy. As Psalm 23:6 says, Goodness and Mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.


The first time you see an angel, you would most likely be afraid, because they are very huge. They are also very powerful - so powerful that an angel can kill 185,000 soldiers in one night (2 Kings 19:35). Whether you believe it or not, the day you became born again, one of such big and powerful angels was assigned to follow you everywhere you go and to do whatever you want him to do in line with the will of God. Anytime your enemies think they have gotten you, your angel can come in the middle of the night to save you (Acts 5:17-25, Acts 12:5-11).


Now, you must understand that even though Angels are assigned to serve you, you still need to give them instructions to follow. They are primarily subject to God's instructions, so to instruct them, echo God's word back to them and they will obey promptly. For example, God has already said that they will carry you so that you would not dash your foot against a stone (Psalm 91:12), this means that you can ask God to command them to clear any form of accident from your path before embarking on a journey. God said that if enemies gather against you in one way, they would flee in seven  (Deuteronomy 28:7), so you can ask God to command angels to scatter the camp of your enemies.


You must understand though, that God's word is only potent in the mouth of His children; if you are not born again, rather than angels  obeying you, they can work against you. If you don't believe me ask Balaam (Numbers 22:21-35).


REFLECTION

Angels are assigned to serve the heirs of salvation. Are you one?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Number 22-24


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


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.
