Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY APRIL 22ND, 2023.

THEME: MORE THAN BLESSINGS

MEMORISE: 

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 

Genesis 22:18

READ: Jeremiah 17:7 -8

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

MESSAGE

Our God is very generous. When He decides to bless, He does so abundantly. For example, when the wedding hosts ran out of wine for their guests, Jesus gave them much better wine in abundance (John 2:1-11). Psalm 68:19 says, "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah."

In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, He  talks about great blessings- blessing so great that they'll overtake you. The kind of blessing that will cause you to say, "Lord this is too much" will begin to come your way from now, in Jesus' name.

Beyond loading you with blessings every day, God can make you so blessed that you will become a blessing to others. That is what He did through  Solomon. In 1Kings 3:13, God said He would bless Solomon so much that no King would be like him all through his life. Solomon's blessing caused Israelites to be blessed also. 1 Kings 10:27 says, "And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem  as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance."

God can do the same for you. He can bless you so much that no one in your generation will ever be poor again. This type of blessing however, comes to those who give sacrificially to God  like Solomon did in 1 Kings 3:4.

In 2007, one young man came to me, saying he wanted to pay for the feeding at our next convention so l give him a conservative estimate of what it would cost to feed one million people twice daily for a week. He said he would get back to me. I didn't expect to see him again, but he came back the following week as promised and paid for it. Apparently, he had gone to get loan from a bank because he couldn't afford it. Before long, the same bank he took the loan from invited him to become their Managing Director. If you are willing to give sacrificially to God. He will also make you so blessed that you will become a blessing to others.

PRAYER POINT 

Father, please give me the grace to give sacrificially to you, in Jesus name. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 11-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS 

1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

Refrain:

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

2 There shall be showers of blessing—

Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

3 There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.

4 There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

5 There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY APRIL 21ST, 2023.

THEME: MORE THAN FREEDOM

MEMORISE: 

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 

Isaiah 49:25

READ: 2 Kings 4:1 -7

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

MESSAGE

God doesn't know how to be stingy; whatever He does, He does generously. David said in Psalm 23:5, "...thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over". That is God's nature; when He give you something, He gives it to you in abundance.

One day many years ago while l was preaching, the Lord said there was someone in the congregation who will get three breakthroughs. The first was to be given completely to Him, the second shared between the fellow and Him and then the third one would be for the fellow alone. Sometime later, a woman came to me with a huge amount of money and said she had come to fulfil her part of the bargain. I knew this woman- she was a widow whose husband had left a huge debt upon his death. She however, insisted that the prophecy was for her and l couldn't  do anything to dissuade her. Not long after, she returned with more money, this was half of the second breakthrough. After this she came back with a testimony: the bank her husband had been indebted to called her to apologize saying they had made a mistake and rather than her husband owing them, they were the ones owing him! They paid the money to her and it was a lot. When God sets you free from debt, He does it such that it will be difficult for you to get into debt again. If you are in debt now, the All-Sufficient God will set you free from it In Jesus' name.

John8:36 says, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed". When a person is medically healed from an ailment, there might still be traces left behind, but when Jesus set you free, He does it perfectly, making you whole. If you have been in any form of bondage, receive total freedom right now, in Jesus' name.

Not only will God set you free indeed, He can even empower you to set captives free (Mark 16:17), so that you would cast out demons from their victims. This privilege is given to God's children who are ready to fast and pray often (Matthew 17:21).

PRAYERS POINT 

Father, please set me free from all form of bondage and use me to set all the captives free.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 9-10

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY APRIL 20TH, 2023.

THEME: MORE THAN SALVATION

MEMORISE: 

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. 

Proverbs 11:30

READ: Romans 1:16 

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

MESSAGE

My God is a very generous God. When He wants to save someone, He doesn't just save the fellow's soul, He wipes away all records of that person's sin to make it as if he had never committed any. 1 John 1:7 says, "But  if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleansers us from all sin." Believe me honestly, it does not matter how badly you have sinned in the past, God can still save your soul and use you for His glory.

After saving your soul, He doesn't just leave you to figure out how you can remain holy by yourself, He gives you the ability not to sin again by changing your heart from a heart of stone to one of flesh.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will l put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and l will give you an heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26

This is the real meaning of grace, when you become empowered by God to live holy. Beyond giving you the grace to live holy, God is so generous that He can even use you to save the souls of other people from going to hell. This is such a rare privilege because anyone you bring into the kingdom  of God becomes your child in the Lord (1 Corinthians 4:15). When was the last time you won a soul to Christ? When was the last time you let God use you to snatch someone from the hands of the devil into the loving hands of Christ?

If you don't extend the same grace that God has given you to become His child to your friends and family members, you are being wicked to them. God makes the feet of those who preached His word beautiful.

...How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and being glad tidings of good things.

Romans 10:15

Tell every unbeliever around you about Jesus Christ before it is too late.

ACTION POINT

Today, minister the gospel of Jesus Christ to at least one unbeliever around you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 6-8

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 2: AMAZING GRACE

1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch; like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!

3 The Lord hath promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

4 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we first begun.

DATE: WEDNESDAY APRIL 19TH, 2023.

THEME: MORE THAN HEALING

MEMORISE: 

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 

John 7:38 

READ: Mark 16:17 -18

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

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

My God is All-Sufficient One and He is very generous. When He wants to heal, He heals completely. While doctors often caution on the side effects of prescribed medication, there  are no side effects with divine healing. When God heals you, He heals completely.

Some years ago, the wound from a surgery conducted on a woman refused to heal because of her advanced age. I told her daughter to bring a handkerchief, prayed on it and asked her to put it on her mother. She did so and by the next day, not only was the wound healed, they could not find any scar where the doctors had operated. When my God heals, He does it completely.

Beyond complete healing, God is so generous that He can go further to make sure you are never sick again. Exodus 15:26 says, "If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, l will put none of these diseases upon thee, which l have brought upon the Egyptians: for l am the LORD that healeth thee". If you make holiness your lifestyle, God can make it such that sickness will become stranger to you.

Beyond making sure that you don't fall sick again, my God is so generous that He can allow His healing virtue to start flowing through you. All these can be available to you under certain conditions. Firstly, you must be a child of God because healing is children's meat (Matthew 15:21-28). My God is not a healing contractor; He only heals those who are His children. Once in a while, He could heal an unbeliever on credit, expecting the fellow to become a member of His family by accepting Jesus as his or her Lord and Saviour. If however,  the fellow still refuses to become born again, then a worse sickness could follow (John 5:14). To get to the level of overflowing healing virtue by which you would be healing others, you must also have faith. Mark 16:17-18 says you must be a believer. With faith, lay hands on people who need healing and sooner than later, you would begin to see them being healed.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please anoint me so powerfully that I will begin to heal the sick, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 4-5

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 25: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS HERE

1 The Great Physician now is near,

The sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!

Refrain:

Sweetest note in seraph song;

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung:

Jesus, blessed Jesus!

2 Your many sins are all forgiv’n,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,

Redemption wrought by Jesus.

3 All glory to the dying Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Savior’s name,

I love the name of Jesus.

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh, how my soul delights to hear

The precious name of Jesus!
