HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER


1. Sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of Prayer!

That calls me from a world of care,

And bids me at my Father's throne

Make all my want and wishes known;

In seasons of distress and grief,

My soul has often found relief,

And oft escaped the tempter's snare

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer,


2. Sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer!

Thy wings shall my petition bear

To him whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless;

And since he bids me seek his face,

Believe his word and trust his grace

I'll cast on him my every care,

And wait for thee, sweet hour prayer.


3. Sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer!

May I thy consolation share

Till from mount Pisgah's lofty height,

I view my home and take my flight;

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise

To seize the ever lasting prize

And shout while passing through the air,

Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL 2023


TOPIC: THE GREATEST ENEMY OF MAN


MEMORISE:

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1 Corinthians 9:27



READ: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.


9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.


9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:


9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.



MESSAGE

Your biggest enemy is not the devil, neither is it your mother-in-law, witches nor wizards. As a child of God, you know very well that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Bible made it clear that you are more than conquerors through Him that loved you (Romans8:37).


Your number one enemy is yourself. The one who is truly victorious is the one who has conquered himself. When you live according to the dictates of your flesh, you give it permission to destroy you and it is good at doing that.


"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."

Proverbs 16:32


Samson took down an entire city single-handedly but could not conquer himself. He was so powerful that cities feared him, but in the lap of a woman, he was the weakest of men. Even a little child knows better than to touch a piece of hot iron that had burned him or her before. In Samson's case however, he told Delilah a lie about the source of his power and awoke to find that she had used the information against him, yet he did not stay away from her. He told her another lie and she tried to exploit it and failed again, yet he did not stay away. To make matters worse, he told her the truth at last and ended up grinding corn for the same enemies that used to fear him (Judges 16:6-21). You may say Samson was a fool, but what about you? Have you been staying away from those sins that easily beset you?


When a child of God is really fervent, the devil starts searching out his weakness. The moment he finds it, he will try to use it as a weapon for that child of God to destroy himself or herself. That is why you must destroy that weakness before the devil uses it against you. Proverbs 25:28 says, "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls". Control yourself so that you would be victorious against the attacks of the devil.



REFLECTION:

Have you conquered yourself?



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

2 Samuel 14-16


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 endless praise,

Let them flow in endless 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 pow’r as Thou shalt choose,

Every pow’r 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, m 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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY APRIL 4TH, 2023.


THEME: FIGHTING ON GOD'S SIDE


MEMORISE: 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

Psalms 23:4 


READ: Numbers 16:23 -34

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.


25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.


26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.


27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.


28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.


29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.


30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.


31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:


32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.


33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.


34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.


MESSAGE

To further our discussion from yesterday on the dangers of fighting against God, let us look at what happens when you are fighting on His side.


When you decide to fight on the side of God, no matter how big or strong your enemy is, you will win. It doesn't matter if you are fighting against enemies within your household or those outside - as long as you are on the side of God, they cannot defeat you.


The beautiful thing about standing on somebody's side is that the fellow is also standing beside you, so if any enemy sends an arrow to you, such a person is also sending to God. That is why no weapon fashioned against you can prosper (Isaiah  54:17). When you are on God's side, no enemy can defeat you.


In 1 Samuel 17:34-37, David talked about how he had killed a lion and a bear and that he would kill Goliath because God was with him. King Saul then said to him, "Go, and the Lord be with you.". The boy defeated Goliath with just a stone because God was on his side and he was on God's side (1 Samuel 17:44-50)


In Joshua 10:1-14, God was on Joshua's side because Joshua was on His side. Joshua stopped the sun so that he could defeat all his enemies. When you fight the battle of life on God's side, victory is sure. it doesn't matter what comes your way, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus Christ assured us in John 16:33:


“These things l have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; l have overcome the world.”


Jesus has overcome the world, so your victory is guaranteed once you are on His side and the first step to ensuring this is to surrender your life to Him.


KEY POINT

Those who are on the side of God are victors in the battles of life.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2Samuel 12-13


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 12: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1. Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See his banners go!


[Chorus]

Onward, Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.


2. At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory.

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.


3. Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the Saints have trod.

We are not divided;

All one body we:

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.


4. Onward, then, ye people;

Join our happy throng.

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honor

Unto Christ, the Kin.

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.
