Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY JUNE 8TH, 2023.


THEME: LIGHT UP Ill


MEMORISE: 

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 

Genesis 17:6 


READ: Mark 16:16 -18

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

Embedded in pure light is the color green - the colour  of fruitfulness. John 15:1-5 says there is no way you can have the Light in you and remain barren. The Light that lives within you is the Vine you connect to so as to become fruitful (John 15:5). He gives you the ability to be fruitful even in situations where others have been barren. He said about those who are His children:


There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days l will fulfil.


Exodus 23:26


Green is also the colour of power (Acts 1:8). When you carry the Light within you, you will have the power of God operating through you. You need power to move forward. It is the engine inside a vehicle that determines how fast it can go. When the Light is within you, you have a very high level of power that makes you accelerate at an unusual speed. In other words, when you carry the Light, your promotion will be extra rapid. Believe me honestly, you can enjoy such great speed in your career that even you will be trembling at the thought of it.


One of my sons came up to me once, saying he had a job interview and he wanted me to just speak a word over him. I said, "Go and the interview will go well." He said, "Amen" and left. He returned the following day excited that not only did the interview go well but that he got the job (Deputy Managing Director) and the board asked him to resume the very next day. I congratulated him and he said, "No, speak another word". I said, "Alright, the Almighty God who has given you the job will make your promotion rapid". He went and then the following day, came again, trembling. "Daddy, l got to the place of work, and was told that after l left the previous day, their Managing Director resigned. There, on the spot, l was offered the role of Managing Director". I congratulated him again and he said, "No Daddy, speak another word". I then said, "The God who has begun a good work in you will perfect it". He came back to testify the day after that his salary, had been doubled.


I speak a word to you now: your promotion shall be rapid in the mighty name of Jesus.


KEY POINT 

The light of God within you will grant you unusual speed in life.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 18-21


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE


1 In Christ alone my hope is found 


He is my light, my strength, my song 


This cornerstone, this solid ground 


Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 


What heights of love, what depths of peace 


When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 


My comforter, my all in all 


Here in the love of Christ I stand  


2 In Christ alone who took on flesh 


Fullness of God in helpless babe 


This gift of love and righteousness 


Scorned by the ones He came to save 


Till on that cross as Jesus died 


The wrath of God was satisfied 


For every sin on Him was laid 


Here in the death of Christ I live  


There in the ground His body lay 


3 Light of the world by darkness slain 


Then bursting forth in glorious day 


Up from the grave He rose again 


And as He stands in victory 


Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 


For I am His and He is mine 


Bought with the precious blood of Christ  


4 No guilt in life, no fear in death 


This is the power of Christ in me 


 life's first cry to final breath 


Jesus commands my destiny 


No power of hell, no scheme of man 


Can ever pluck me from His hand 


Till He returns or calls me home 


Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 7TH, 2023.


THEME: LIGHT UP II


MEMORISE: 

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 

Job 36:11


READ: Isaiah 40:28 -31


28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.


29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.


30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:


31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


MESSAGE

When white light is passed through a prism, one of the colors you would see is yellow. Yellow is the colour of the sun and one of the names of Jesus Christ is the Sun of righteousness (Malachi 4:2). The yellow that is embedded in the light of God in you brings healing with it.


Yellow, being the colour of the sun, also means that it is the colour of unlimited energy. When you carry this light of God within you, you enjoy the kind of energy that people can't understand. This is because Isaiah 40:31 says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. When l was about to turn 70, l asked God if l could retire and "He said, 'No'. Then l thought l would rest for the whole year instead. What l discovered is that my 70th year was busier than every year before it and, by the grace of God, l am still standing. No matter how old you are, your energy will never run out, in Jesus' name.


Yellow is the colour of pure gold and that is why, if you are connected with the light of God, you just must prosper. Furthermore, Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Psalm 23:5 shows us that our God is a God of abundance. Believe me honestly, all you need is single breakthrough and you will cross the border of poverty forever (Malachi 3:10).


There was once an Arab boy who got born again in an Islamic country and escape to England to avoid persecution. He got to London and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Life was very difficult for him but he held on to his faith. One day, he overhead a rich Arabian man grumbling to himself in Arabic. He asked the man what was wrong. The rich Arabian, who had come to London to buy houses had become frustrated about his failure due to his inability to speak English. The man, excited that he had found someone who understood both Arabic and English, asked the boy to be his interpreter and paid him one million pounds per day for three days.


Once you carry the light of God within you, you become a candidate for divine prosperity.


KEY POINT

Carrying God's light in you means carrying divine prosperity in you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 9-17


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN


1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;


to his feet your tribute bring.


Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,


evermore his praises sing.


Alleluia, alleluia!


Praise the everlasting King!


2 Praise him for his grace and favor


to his people in distress.


Praise him, still the same as ever,


slow to chide, and swift to bless.


Alleluia, alleluia!


Glorious in his faithfulness!


3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;


well our feeble frame he knows.


In his hand he gently bears us,


rescues us from all our foes.


Alleluia, alleluia!


Widely yet his mercy flows!

DATE: TUESDAY JUNE 6TH, 2023.


THEME: LIGHT UP I


MEMORISE: 

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

John 8:12


READ: Isaiah 60:1 -3

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.


2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.


3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.


MESSAGE

For the next few days, we will be discussing the nature of light and what it means to be lit up. 1 John 1:5 says that God is light. The color of pure light is white, but when you pass it through a glass prism, it breaks up, into the seven colors of the rainbow - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. For this series however, l'll focus on the colors red, yellow, green and blue. Red is the color of danger. Hebrews 12:29 says that God is a consuming fire, meaning that God is indeed powerful and not someone to be toyed with. If you don't believe me, ask Pharaoh. When you carry the light of God in you, you become a danger to the enemy. That is why 1 Chronicles 16:22 says, "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm".


Red is also the color of blood and Revelation 12:11 says that the  saints overcame  Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. There is so much power in the blood of the Lamb that you  can use it to overcome Satan. The Red in the light of God within you will make you dangerous and give you power to overcome the devil. Red also signifies the stop sign. When traffic light goes red, you know you have to stop (Exidus 12:23). Once you are lit up by the light of God, when evil sees you, it will stop.


Some years ago, a woman came to me and said money kept disappearing from their house. Initially, she and her husband suspected each other of stealing the money until one day, they confronted each other and discovered that neither of them was the culprit. This meant they were in real trouble. I understood what was happening immediately, especially because the husband used to be deep in the occult before he became a Christian. I then told them that they should always cover their money with the blood of Jesus so that anytime the devil came to steal it, he would find the blood of Jesus covering it and leave. From that day on they never lost anything again.


KEY POINT

When you carry the light of God, you become dangerous to the enemy.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 1-8


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 1: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY JUNE 5TH, 2023.


THEME: NO HOLINESS! NO MIRACLES


MEMORISE: 

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 

2 Corinthians 7:1


READ: Ephesians 5:1 -5

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;


2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.


3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;


4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.


5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.


MESSAGE

Some query God for not answering their prayers because they have been praying for so long. This has made them conclude that God is not real. The problem however, is not with Him, after all, many other people receive answers to prayers from Him daily. If there is a problem at all, it is likely to be from the fellow who is praying. Isaiah 59:1-2 tells us that God can always hear us but our sins separate and hide our faces from Him. If He doesn't hear your prayer at all, how is He going to answer? How can you continue in sin and expect grace to abound? The Bible's response to that is, "God forbid" (Romans 6:1-2).


Some people sow in Church and get no harvest, then they turnaround to say that God's words is not true, whereas, the issue may be that God rejected their offering because of their sins (Proverbs 15:8). He must first accept you before He can accept your offering.


A lady attended one of our programmes because she had heard that Pastor ADEBOYE has a special anointing for making the barren fruitful after praying for them. She met me and l prayed for her. While praying for her, l laid my hand upon her and she fell. When she came around, she rejoiced that she had fallen under the anointing and was sure her miracle was on the way. A year later, she came back with a query because she had not given birth. I was already thinking that maybe God wanted to give her a second touch when all of a sudden, l heard God say, "Ask her how many boyfriends she has". If l hadn't known the voice of God, l wouldn't have asked because she was a highly placed person in the society. I managed to ask her and she said she had six boyfriends! I was shocked. How can you expect a baby from God when you are keeping six boyfriends apart from your husband? How would she have known the real father?


Many people want a miracle, whereas what they are really asking for is magic. God is Holy and He is a miracle worker, not a magician like the devil. Begin to live holy from today so that when you call on God, you can rest assured that He will answer you.


KEY POINT

Holiness is the master key to get God's attention.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 39-42


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.
