OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY  MARCH 23RD, 2023.


THEME: LISTEN TO THE WORD


MEMORISE: 

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Jeremiah 6:10


READ: Matthew 13:3 -23

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;


4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:


5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:


6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.


7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:


8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.


9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?


11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.


12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.


13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.


14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:


15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.


16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.


17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.


18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.


19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.


20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;


21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.


22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.


23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.


MESSAGE

Having discussed the word of God in the last few says, l must say that there are many who don't have ears to hear. Revelation 2:7 says, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches..."


There is danger in not hearing the word of God because Isaiah 6:8-10 says if you can hear, then you will repent and be healed. That is why the devil puts in all efforts to steal the word of God from our hearts as we see in our Bible reading for today. I am certain that the day you gave your life to Christ, you were not the only one who heard that message. Others heard it and many of them did not surrender their lives to Christ. This is because though they had ears physically, the devil had blocked their spiritual ears. Furthermore, there are a lot of Christians who have been going to Church for many years; the Pastors preaches powerful sermons, but it has had no effect on their  lives because the devil has simply blocked their ears in order to keep them in bondage. I pray your spiritual ears will never be blocked, in Jesus' name.


There are also people who practice selective hearing of the word of God. In their case, the devil doesn't have to bother himself, they block their own ears themselves (Jeremiah 17:23). They don't want to hear that passage of the Bible that will condemn what they are doing wrong. When such people hear me say, "God said we should be holy for He is holy" they say, "Doesn't he have anything else to say"?


Psalm 95:6-8 made it clear that if you want to hear God's voice, "Harden not your heart". Some of us have hardened our hearts; we don't want to hear anymore. Remember the rich man's plea in Luke 16:19-31 when he told Abraham to send Lazarus to preach to his brothers. Abraham told him that his brothers had prophets speaking to them on earth; if they didn't listen to them, they wouldn't hear anyone else. They were destined for destruction.


You have genuine men and women of God teaching you the word now -'this devotional is a testament to that. Listen so that you will not regret it for eternity.


REFLECTION 

Is your heart always open to receive the true word of God?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 4-7


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS


1 Holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world,

They resound with God's own heart

Oh, let the Ancient words impart.


Chorus

Ancient words ever true

Changing me, and changing you. 

We have come with open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart.


2 Words of Life, words of Hope

Give us strength, help us cope

In this world, where e'er we roam

Ancient words will guide us Home.


3 Holy words of our Faith

Handed down to this age.

Came to us through sacrifice

Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.


4 Holy words long preserved

For our walk in this world.

They resound with God's own heart

Oh let the ancient words impart.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY MARCH 22ND, 2023.


THEME: THE WORD PRODUCES FAITH


MEMORISE: 

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 

Psalms 119:42 


READ: Psalms 119:49 51

49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.


50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.


51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.


MESSAGE

One of the most beautiful thing about the word of God is that it produces faith. Romans 10:17 says, "so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." The word helps faith to swell within you, so much so that you begin to do things that were impossible for you before. Daniel 11:32 says, "...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits".


The more of God you know, the stronger you become and the more exploits you can do for Him. There is just something powerful that consumes you when you study your Bible, you begin to see through the eyes of God. You would start to see situations as God sees them. You would become bold and fearless. Things that were impossible to you before would become normal; in fact, you would experience some miracles that would be difficult to testify of as people would find it difficult to believe you.


If you can eat the word of God so much that you are filled with it, then Jesus Christ said you can ask Him for anything and He would do it (John 15:7). What a great open secret! If you have been wondering why God answers some people's prayers speedily, now you know what to do. Hebrews 11:6 says:


But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


Since faith comes by hearing the word of God and it is impossible to please Him without faith, you need the word of God to please Him. If you are like me, always crying to God, saying, "Lord, l just want to please You", the solution is simple: soak yourself in the word of God.


It is interesting though that fear also comes by hearing so be careful of what you listen to.


Choose to listen to the word of God.


ACTION POINT 

Choose to fill your heart with the word of God. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 1-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 13: JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW


1 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

for the Bible tells me so. 

Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. 


Refrain: 

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! 

Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. 


2 Jesus loves me he who died 

heaven's gate to open wide. 

He will wash away my sin, 

let his little child come in.


3 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

as he loved so long ago, 

taking children on his knee, 

saying, "Let them come to me.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY MARCH 21ST, 2023.


THEME: THE WORD IS ALMIGHTY


MEMORISE: 

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Hebrews 4:12


READ: Isaiah 55:10 -11

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:


11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.


MESSAGE

The Word is almighty. He created all things and indeed, He is God Himself (John 1:1-3). The Word is so powerful that He creates new beginnings. In Exodus 3:1-5, when God spoke to Moses at the backside of the desert, he had a new beginning. Though he had become a fugitive and it seemed he had missed it in life, Moses got a chance for a new beginning the moment he started hearing from God. In John 11:39-44, when Jesus Christ was going to bring Lazarus back from the dead, He didn't lay hands on him; He only spoke and new beginning came for someone who had been dead for 4 days. I speak the word of God into your life now: receive a new beginning in Jesus' name.


The Word of God is not only all-powerful but also sharp - sharp enough to separate the joint from the marrow and even dividing the soul and the spirit (Hebrews 4:12). When you see a hardened criminal crying in front of the altar to give his life to Christ, that is an example of what the Word of God can do. It can pierce into the hardest of souls. That is why it is futile trying to change your stubborn relatives using your own words. Preach the word of God to them; pray that the Word pierces through their souls to convict them of their sins.


Someone once said that they were wondering how come we usually have such large crowds at our crusades. They wondered especially because my sermons at such crusades were usually simple and the general theme was always; "Be holy", yet large crowds attend over and over again and thousands give their lives to Christ every time l make an altar call. I told them it is because beautiful sermons with analysis of the Bible using Greek and Hebrew languages do not convict sinners. Deep thoughts and philosophies can't convert anyone without the power of the Holy Spirit. Simple and straightforward as the word of God is, it has tremendous power to convert sinners to saints.


If you are a preacher of the gospel, please don't try to impress the people with how much Greek and Hebrew you know. Just preach the word and trust that the Holy Spirit will accomplish all that the Lord pleases (Isaiah 55:11).


KEY POINT

The word of God is all-powerful.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ruth 1-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY


1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, 

the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is 

your health and salvation!

Come, all who hear; 

now to his temple draw near,

join me in glad adoration.


2 Praise to the Lord, above 

all things so wondrously reigning;

sheltering you under his wings, 

and so gently sustaining!

Have you not seen all 

that is needful has been

sent by his gracious ordaining?


3 Praise to the Lord, who will 

prosper your work and defend you;

surely his goodness and mercy 

shall daily attend you.

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

if with his love he befriends you.


4 Praise to the Lord! O let all 

that is in me adore him!

All that has life and breath, 

come now with praises before him.

Let the Amen sound 

from his people again;

gladly forever adore him
