Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY APRIL 11TH, 2023.


THEME: DESTINY DESTROYERS: PRIDE 1


MEMORISE: 

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

Luke 14:11 


READ: Luke 14:7 -11


7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,


8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;


9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.


10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.


11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.


MESSAGE


A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.


Proverbs 29:23


Pride is one of the greatest destroyers, of men - especially those who have achieved something great. That means if the devil wants to bring a great man down, he does not have to bother himself sending witches and wizards to that man, all he has to do is bring out the pride in the man. Proverbs 25:27 says:


It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.


Seeking glory for yourself will not bring you glory but shame. Stop seeking people to lift you on their shoulders as if you are the best thing to have come into the world, humble yourself. The devil was once a very special arch-angel in heaven, but pride got into his head because of how beautiful he was. He started seeking glory for himself, even the glory of God's own throne. He ended up being brought so low that, at the end of time, he will be locked up in the pit of fire to suffer forever.


The prescription of God for every Christian is to prefer others above yourself in honour. Romans 12:10 says, "Be kindly affection one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another".


The day you forget that everything you have is given to you by God you begin to decline. Nebuchadnezzar was warned in Daniel 4:24-27 like l am warning you now, but he didn't heed the counsel. Pride rose up in him and he started to boast about the things that God had done through him, calling them his achievements. He was brought so low that he was eating with the animals in the bush. James 4:5 says those who want the grace of God to work in their lives must be humble. Be humble, pride is a destiny destroyer.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, please destroy the root of pride in my life in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1King 6-7


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOUR 


1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


2 Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief. 


3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace. 


4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: MONDAY 10TH APRIL 2023


TOPIC: THE SEASONS OF CHRIST


MEMORISE:

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:6

READ: Matthew 28:1-7

28:1: In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.


28:2: And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.


28:3: His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:


28:4: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.


28:5: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.


28:6: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.


28:7: And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.


MESSAGE

Between every two days in a man's life, there is always a night. Even Jesus Christ experienced His own share of days and nights. Jesus' first day came when He was born. Luke 2:8-14 says even the heavenly mass choir paid a visit to the world to sing at His birth. Everyone, including the king knew that a special child had been born. As Jesus grew up, He enjoyed tremendous support from God and performed several great miracles. His first day lasted for thirty three and a half years.


After Jesus' first day came the night when He was crucified (Matthew 27). There was darkness at noon as the sun refused to shine that day (Mark 15:33). He was lonely as all his friends had forsaken him. His very close friend even denied Him (Matthew 26:69-74).There was also sorrow and fear amongst His disciples (John 20:19). Thank God the night lasted for just three days. If you are in a period of night now, that night will end today in Jesus' name.


Matthew 28:1-7 marked the beginning of Jesus' second day. Several things happened to herald the new day. First was a great earthquake to signify to the whole world that a new day had come. Then an angel came down, rolled away the stone to His tomb and sat on it. He sat on it to say, this time around, we have permanent victory. From today onward, every door that God opens to you will never be shut again in Jesus' name.


Matthew 28:4 says the keepers became paralysed by fear, they were so frightened, they fell down as dead. That is good news for you because now that you are in the season of your Saviour's day, when your enemies see you coming, it's either they run or they faint. Jesus' day is one that will last forever. Soon, He will come to take His children so we can reign with Him in glory. If you are amongst His children, congratulations, but if you are still committing sin, then you are crucifying Jesus Christ afresh (Hebrews 6:6) so you will be treated like one of those who crucified Him. If you are wise, you will give your life to Him now and stay away from sin forever.


KEY POINT:

Jesus’ resurrection means good news to His friends and bad news to sinners. Which category are you?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

1 Kings 3-5


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 4: BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE

1. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice

And ye that are upright in heart

And ye that have made Him your choice

Bid sadness and sorrow depart.


Chorus

Rejoice!...rejoice!...

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!

Rejoice!... rejoice!...

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!


2. Be joyful for He is the Lord

On earth and in heaven supreme

He fashions and rules by His words

The mighty and strong to redeem.


3. What tho' in the conflict for right

Your enemies almost prevail!

God's armies, just hid from your sight

Are more than the foes which assail.


4. Tho' darkness surround you by day,

Your sky by the night be o'ercast,

Let nothing your spirit dismay

But trust till the danger is past.


5. Be glad in the lord and rejoice,

His praises proclaiming in song.

With harp, and with organ, and voice,

The loud Hallelujahs prolong!

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE:   SUNDAY APRIL 9TH 2023


THEME:  WHAT DO YOU SEE?


MEMORISE: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 



READ: John 19:1 -18


1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.


2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,


3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.


4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.


5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!


6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.


7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.


8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;


9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.


10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?


11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.


12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.


13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.


14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!


15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.


16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.


17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:


18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.


MESSAGE


Imagine that you are right at the scene of Jesus' crucifixion and you are looking at Him on the cross. What do you see? You will be right if you say, "I see a man in pain". He had been beaten and a crown of thorns had been placed on His head before His crucifixion (John 19:1-18).


Someone else may say, "I see a man who is naked", because according to Matthew 27-35, they even took His garment away from Him. That is the highest level of shame that a man can experience, to be naked in front of multitudes.


Another person could also say, "I see a man being ridiculed".  Matthew 27: 39-44 says people that were passing by were saying, "He saved others; himself he cannot save". Though he had power to call for angels to rescue Him, He chose to endure the ridicule so that you and l can have a chance of spending eternity in Heaven. I want you to imagine the president of the most powerful  country in the world holding a device in his hand with which he can call on his army anytime, yer he subjects himself to some terrorists who were about to kill him and were mocking him' "You call yourself the President of a nation with weapons of mass destruction, look at you now, you cannot save yourself". That is similar to what Jesus did just so that you and l will not perish in hell.


Without any doubt, when you look at Jesus on the cross, you will see a man in sorrow. You cannot be in pain, naked, in shame, ridiculed, and be joyous. Isaiah saw the scene of Jesus, death many years before and he called Him a man of sorrow (Isaiah 53:3-5).


If you however take a closer look at Jesus as He hung on the cross, you will see a man in love. A man so much in love with you and l that He went through the highest level of physical and emotional pain to save our soul. Thank God He resurrected on the third day and has made eternal life available to all those who surrender their lives to Him.


Beloved, don't let that sacrifice go to waste. Don't live your life for the devil, live your life for the One who loves you so much that He gave His life for you.


REFLECTION 


Reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for you and determine never to offend Him again.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1King 1-2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE



HYMN 16: PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM, OUR BLESSED REDEEMER


1 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!


Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!


Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!


Strength and honor give to his holy name!


Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.


In his arms he carries them all day long.


Refrain:


Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.


Praise him! Praise him! ever in  joyful song.


2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!


For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.


He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,


hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.


Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,


love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong. [Refrain]


3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!


Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!


Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!


Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!


Christ is coming, over the world victorious.


Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong. [Refrain]

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY 8TH APRIL 2023


TOPIC: THE PURPOSE OF HIS DEATH II



MEMORISE:

Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."



READ: Mark 16:15-18


16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.



MESSAGE


In John 17:4, when Jesus was praying before His crucifixion, He said to His Father that He had finished His assignment. Later on in John 19:30, He said, "It is finished"; in other words, 'Mission accomplished.' After His ascension, He said to His disciples in Acts 1:8 that the Holy Ghost would come upon them and they would receive power.


What is power? Power in layman's language is the ability to do work efficiently. The power you need to fulfil your destiny as ordained by God is in the Holy Ghost. In Luke 5:10, Jesus Christ informed Peter that he would begin to catch men and this came into full manifestation 3 years later when the Holy Spirit came on Him and he won 3,000 souls by preaching just one sermon. Growing up, my goal was to be the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, but then I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 1973. I got baptised in the Holy Spirit that same year and then something kept moving me in the direction of God's original plan for my life. I pray that the power of the Almighty God will begin to propel you in the direction of your destiny, in Jesus' name.


Now, the greater the power, the easier it will be for you to reach your goal. For example, if you want to travel from Lagos, Nigeria to Britain, by road and sea, it could take several days, if not weeks, but if you get in an aircraft from Lagos to London, you would have arrived within 6 and a half hours. In Acts 3:1-11, the power of God began to manifest itself in a great manner in the life of Apostle Peter when he made the lame man at the Beautiful Gate walk. The sermon he preached right after that led to the conversion of 5,000 souls (Acts4:4). By Acts 5:12-16, his shadow had begun to heal the sick and multitudes began to come to Christ. His destiny was being fulfilled at an amazing pace.


How speedily do you want to fulfil your destiny? That will depend on how much of the Holy Ghost you carry in you.



PRAYER POINT:

Pray in the Spirit for at least one hour today and practice this regularly.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

2 Samuel 23-24


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR


1. I Need Thee every hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.


Chorus:

I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee,

Every hour I need Thee;

Oh bless me now, my Saviour;

I come to Thee.


2. I need Thee every hour;

Stay Thou near by;

Temptations lose their pow'r

When Thou art nigh.


3. I need Thee every hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain.


4. I need Thee every hour;

Teach me Thy will,

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfil.


5. I need Thee every hour,

Most Holy One;

O make me Thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son.
