Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY APRIL 27TH, 2023.


THEME: ARE YOU A WITNESS?


MEMORISE: 

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 

Matthew 5:16 


READ: Mark 16:15 -18


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


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


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

The Lord Jesus Christ said all commandments from God  could be summarized into two: One you must love God with all your heart, soul and mind, and two, love your neighbour as yourself Matthew 22:37-40). It is however easy to say "l love God" with your mouth but what will really show your love for God is your obedience to all His commandments (John 14:15). You also cannot say you love your neighbour without showing it in your actions.


All followers of Christ have been commissioned to preach the gospel to all creatures (Mark 16:15) so, if you truly love God any your neighbours, everything you do will be to tell them about Jesus. We are enjoying Christ now because somebody told us about Him.


We were taught that Jesus is the burden-bearer (Matthew 11:28) Many of us came to Jesus because of our burdens. Nothing could have dragged me to that little building they were calling the headquarters of The Redeemed Christian Church of God but a big problem. Someone invited me to the church and said, "The Lord Jesus will carry your burden". I never would have imagine myself worshipping in a small church built with wood, rather than a cathedral, if not for the burden l had.


Tell your friends that God is the great provider. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". Tell your friends that Jesus Christ is the great enabler. He can help you and grant you all round success because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).  As far as God is concerned, there are no two ways. You either love Him or hate Him. If you love Him, you will love your neighbours and tell them all you know about Jesus.


PRAYER POINT 

Lord, please grant me the grace and enablement to witness effectively for You at all times, in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 King 24-25


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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY APRIL 26TH, 2023.


THEME: WHO IS THE HEAD?


MEMORISE: 

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 

Colossians 1:18 


READ: Ephesians 4:1 -12

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,


2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;


3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.


4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;


5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,


6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.


7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.


8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.


9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?


10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)


11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;


12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:


MESSAGE

It is common knowledge that the Church is meant to be for people called out by God. Christ is the Head of the Church because the most important part of anybody is the head. The head is so important that when you want to take a passport photograph, all you take is a picture of your head. The heart, kidney and liver can be transplanted, but there has never been a successful head transplant.


Is Christ your head? If your answer is yes, is He your vision? The eyes are a major part of the head and we know how important vision is. Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18).


Is Christ your hearing? If Christ is your hearing, then your faith will continue to grow because Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The word is Jesus Christ (John1:1, 14).


That will lead us to the nose. What you breathe in and out counts because according to Acts 17:28, "For in him we live, and move and have our being..." You are alive as a Christian if you're breathing in and breathing out Christ.


Who controls your brain? What do you allow your mind to dwell on? Proverbs 23:7 says, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." Philippians 4:8 tells us the kind of thoughts we should have: pure, lovely, virtuous, good and praise worthy thoughts.


Who controls your mouth? What do you eat? Who do you praise - God or man? John 4:24 says, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth". How do you pray? Who controls you in prayer? John 14:14 says, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, l will do it".


You will be  a successful Christian if Christ is your Head - the Controller. Our prayer should thus be, "Christ, please be my head", because if all is well with the head, you can handle whatever is before you. If something goes wrong with the head, every other thing will go wrong.


PRAYERS POINT 

Lord, please be my head from now, in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2King 22-23


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: TUESDAY APRIL 25TH, 2023.


THEME: MORE THAN ANOINTING 


MEMORISE: 

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Psalms 23:5


READ: Psalms 45:7 -8

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.


8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.


MESSAGE

When it comes to anointing, God is so generous that He gives it in abundance. He anointed David in the presence of his brethren in 1 Samuel 16:13, again as king over Judah in 2 Samuel 2:4 and yet again as King over the whole of Israel in 2 Samuel 5:3. God just keep on pouring the anointing on him.


In Acts 19:11-12, the Bible says He so anointed Paul that his handkerchief were healing the sick. In Acts 5:15, He so anointed Peter that anything his shadow touched was impacted by the anointing. Once while on a visit to one of my children in the States, l saw four women moving up and down in the kitchen. I wondered why his wife had so many people helping to prepare a meal for me. Little did l know that those four women had been trusting God for the fruit of the womb. In any case, l ate and left. After l left, one by one, the women sat on the chair l had used and nine months later, three of them were already carrying their children while the fourth gave birth three months after the three. From this moment on, everywhere you walk past will become anointed, in Jesus' name.


If you want this kind of anointing, you must be ready to live a life of consecration. You cannot be in love with the things of this world and expect to carry this kind of anointing. Those who are anointed to overflowing are addicted to prayers and Bible study. Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:27-28:


In weariness and painfulness, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all churches.


God only gives this kind of anointing to people who are totally sold out to Him. When you begin to receive this anointing, be sure to use it, so that it doesn't diminish. Just as batteries have a life span, the anointing also has a life span. Use the anointing the Lord has given you for His glory so you don't lose it.


PRAYER POINT

Father, please make me overflow with your anointing.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 King 1-21


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.
