Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY JUNE 18TH, 2023.


THEME: DIVINE ENERGY DRINK I


MEMORISE: 

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 

Psalms 16:11 


READ: Habakkuk 3:17 -19


17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:


18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.


19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.


MESSAGE

Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord is your strength. Joy produces strength and strength is the ability to do work. Joy is the energy drink that heaven gives you to keep you strong and healthy enough to work. The thing about this energy drink is that it Has different concentrations, depending on how much of it is needed per time. The one with the smallest concentration is what l will call regular joy. You are supposed to have a dose of it every morning. Psalm 39:5 say weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. People who suffer depression find it difficult to even stand from their beds in the morning. If you are experiencing any form of depression or sadness, l pray that the Lord will fill you with joy and strengthen you, in Jesus' name.


One of the ways of getting joy is through hearing good news. Psalm 51:8 says, "Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice." 


A brother returned from work so tired he refused dinner and just went to bed. As soon as he got to his room, his fiancée came to visit. His mother welcomed her but said the brother was very tired and had gone to bed. However, the brother heard his fiancee's voice and rushed out. He went to his mother and asked what he could offer the young lady. She replied. "There is rice but you will have to cook it". He said, "No problem, l will cook". The mother looked at him with surprise, wondering how he who had been too tired to even eat was now ready to cook. The good news that his fiancée was around had given him strength that even he did not know he had. You will hear good news every morning, in Jesus' name.


The word of God is good news, it gives joy. Study it every morning; you will experience joy and receive strength. Jeremiah 15:16 says, "Thy words were found, and l did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for l am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts."


Before you read the newspapers or blog where you will most likely hear bad news, read the word of God to get the good news you need to strengthen you for the day.


KEY POINT

Gods word energizes you for your daily activities. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 73-77


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS


Holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world,


They resound with God's own heart


Oh, let the Ancient words impart.


Chorus


Ancient words ever true


Changing me, and changing you. 


We have come with open hearts


Oh let the ancient words impart.


Words of Life, words of Hope

Give us strength, help us cope


In this world, where e'er we roam


Ancient words will guide us Home.


Holy words of our Faith

Handed down to this age.


Came to us through sacrifice


Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.


Holy words long preserved


For our walk in this world.


They resound with God's own heart


Oh let the ancient words impart.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY JUNE 17TH, 2023.


THEME: TIME AND OPPORTUNITIES


MEMORISE: 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 

Psalms 90:12


READ: Proverbs 3:5 -7

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.


6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.


7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.


MESSAGE

Time is quite a difficult concept to define. One very simple way to describe it is that it is a river that constantly flows. It keeps flowing in a certain direction and carries everyone along with it. No matter what you are doing, time keeps flowing on. Therefore, when you don't do what you are supposed to at the right time, not only would you have wasted a part of your time on earth, but a part of your life also. This is why you cannot afford to be lazy.


One of the things you must understand about the river called time is that it is carrying you on, it is constantly throwing opportunities at you. It carries you through this opportunities from the day you were born until the day you die. As you flow, you go from one place to another and come across one or another. Each person or place comes as an opportunity. If you don't grab it when you are there, you may miss it forever as the river doesn't flow backwards. When you understand this about time, you will realize that what decides if you will be successful is your ability to identify and make use of opportunities (Ecclesiastes 9:11).


The river called time has boundaries on both sides and you are usually in the middle. Occasionally, when God really loves you, He brings you in contact with the right person and tells you to follow him or her. If you are wise enough to obey Him without questions, then you will arrive at your God-ordained destiny. This is what happened to me when l met my Father-in-the-Lord-Pa Akindayomi. I had a Ph.D. in Mathematics which was a big deal back then. My Father-in-the-Lord could not even read or write. He could only read the Bible because of a God-given ability, yet God said l should submit to and follow him. Eventually, when he was going to be with the Lord, he wrote in his will that l should take over the leadership of the Church. My salary at the time was more than the income of the entire Church, but l obeyed. That is how the river of time brought me to where am now.


If you want to fulfil your destiny, rely on God to show you the opportunities hidden in the people you meet and places you go, so that you will arrive at your expected end.


PRAYER POINT

Father, please don't let me ever miss my opportunities in life in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 69-72


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 


1 When we walk with the Lord 


in the light of his word, 


what a glory he sheds on our way! 


While we do his good will, 


he abides with us still, 


and with all who will trust and obey. 


Refrain:


Trust and obey, for there's no other way 


to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 


2 Not a burden we bear, 


not a sorrow we share, 


but our toil he doth richly repay; 


not a grief or a loss, 


not a frown or a cross, 


but is blest if we trust and obey. 


3 But we never can prove 


the delights of his love 


until all on the altar we lay; 


for the favor he shows, 


for the joy he bestows, 


are for them who will trust and obey. 


4 Then in fellowship sweet 


we will sit at his feet, 


or we'll walk by his side in the way; 


what he says we will do, 


where he sends we will go; 


never fear, only trust and obey.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 16TH, 2023.


THEME: JUST START


MEMORISE: 

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 

Joshua 1:9


READ: Isaiah 43:15 -19

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.


16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;


17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.


18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.


19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.


MESSAGE

I grew up in a very poor home. My father was extremely poor, yet he had two wives and many children. He also had a small farm that could not support the family if he died. So l decided that l wasn't going to die in that state of poverty and l knew that the only way out was to study hard in school. I studied hard and gained admission to Ilesha Grammar School but when the results came, my mother called me into the room and said, "You this boy, what are you trying to do? You know we have no money, and you say you want to go to Grammar School." Then she begged me, "Please my boy, Christmas is coming, l will buy you good clothes. Forget about this Grammar School." This was in 1955. To show her how serious l was, l refused to eat for two days and was prepared to continue my hunger strike on the third day when she and my father somehow got some money and deposited it to the school. One way or the other, l finished secondary school and gained admission into university and today l am where l am.


Success does not come to people who consider their limitations before they move.


The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.


Proverbs 26:13


No matter the odds against you, if you can ignore those odds and just set out, there is success waiting for you out there. See those things that you call limitations as tests challenging your abilities. A champion is rated by the opponent he faces, the bigger the opponent he faces, the greater the title. The stronger the opposition you face, the greater your level of success. Most people know the heavyweight champion of the world, but if you are to ask around only a few know the lightweight champion


The reason my success story is interesting to many is because of the low level l came from. Get up and face those limitations; the reward will be worthwhile.


Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.


KEY POINT

There is no limitation you cannot surmount if you have Christ in you . (Philippians 4:13)



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 62-68


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 5: BLESSED ASSURANCE


1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;


Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!


Heir of salvation, purchase of God,


Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.


  This is my story, this is my song,


Praising my Savior all the day long.


This is my story, this is my song,


  Praising my Savior all the day long.


2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,


Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;


Angels descending, bring from above


Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.


3 Perfect submission, all is at rest,


I in my Savior am happy and blest;


Watching and waiting, looking above,


Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
