MEMORISE: 

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 

Mark 10:27

READ: Psalms 126:1-6

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

MESSAGE:

There is yet a more concentrated energy drink from heaven that is called 'Joy Unspeakable'. Joy unspeakable enables you to do miracles that even you will think you are dreaming when you remember them. Psalm 126:1 says, "When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream".

Joy unspeakable gives you the ability to do the kind of miracles that you will find difficult to share with people, as they may not be able to believe them.

I had an experience that took me years before l could share. I had gone out on a prayer walk in the middle of the night - deep into the bush where l could be alone to pray. I had my torch with me, but after praying for some time, the battery died and l needed to find my way out in the darkness. I then remember something l was taught in primary school: that if the room is dark and you close your eyes for a while then open them, the place will look brighter. I close my eyes for a while then open them. When l opened my eyes, the moon was shining so bright; everywhere was as bright as day. I walked out of the bush to the main road, then looked up again and didn't see the moon. I know you probably don't believe me, but it happened.

There was a young man whose aunty died and then was embalmed. He was working in Lagos and it took eleven days before he could get permission from work to go home. He got home, entered the room where the woman was laid, carrying the deceased's little child. He took a handkerchief that we anointed at one of our programmes and laid it on the corpse. He prayed, but then nothing happened. He wasn't really expecting anything to happen anyway, he was just trying his faith. Sad, he turned to leave the room. As he got to the door, he heard a sound behind him. On looking back, he discovered that his aunt who had been dead for eleven days was sitting upright. When he shared the testimony, a lot of people didn't believe, but it was true. I have good news for you: My Daddy will fill your life with mighty testimonies and unspeakable joy in the mighty name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINT

Father, empower me so mightily that I will begin to experience miracles that people will find hard to believe, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 89-94

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.

If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire. In Jesus name, I pray.”

Prayer Points

1.I worship and adore You, my Father, for doing exceedingly, abundantly, above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me.

2.Thank You, Father, for the salvation of my soul, from eternal destruction in hell fire.

3.Father, in anyway I have fallen short  of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me; let Your mercy prevail over judgement of sin in my life, in Jesus name.

5.Father, empower me by Your grace to continue to follow the angel You have assigned to show me the way, instead of venturing into Herod's palace, to look for direction, in Jesus name.

6.Father, fill me to the brim with Your Holy Spirit and let me experience Your exceeding great joy, daily, as I serve You, in Jesus name.

7.Father, renew my strength daily and give me the power to accomplish great and mighty things that ordinary people cannot do, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY JUNE 20TH, 2023.

THEME: DIVINE ENERGY DRINK lll

MEMORISE: 

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 

Matthew 10:8 

READ: Matthew 2:1 -10

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

MESSAGE

Beyond great joy, there is a higher concentration of this energy drink which is called 'Exceeding Great joy'. In our Bible reading for today, when the wise men who had been traveling a long way, looking for the new born King saw the star again, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. They continued on their journey as if they had just started. Exceeding great joy gives you the ability to go the extra mile, to do exceeding great things that ordinary people cannot do.

This exceeding great joy  comes from the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). When you get this concentration of joy, people will assume that you are drunk. Imagine seeing two people asking a man who has been lame all his life to stand and walk. That doesn't make any sense, but it is only possible when you are filled with the Holy Ghost.

One unique thing about this concentrations of joy is that as you utilize it, you get even more of it. If you have ever seen someone who the doctors say has only a few more weeks to live and you pray for the fellow, then he or she gets healed and lives for many more decades after that, you would get a new rush of exceeding great joy. Your faith would increase and you would be empowered to do more. There are so many people who are filled with the Holy Ghost but never pray for the sick or try to perform any miracle. Once, when l was crying to God to empower me to work miracles, He told me, "Keep quiet. Have you used the power that l have given you?" I said, "What power?" He answered, "Are you baptised in the Holy Ghost?" I said, "Yes". He responded, "What does Acts 1:8 say?" I knew what it says, but then l didn't feel like l had received any power so l responded, "But, l don't feel, powerful" to which He replied, "Did l say the just shall live by feelings or by faith?"

The day after this conversation, a woman brought her dying child who had not slept for days, to me for prayers. I remembered my conversation with God so l prayed for the child. After praying, l opened my eyes to see that the child had fallen asleep. When he woke up, he was completely fine. That boosted my faith and filled my heart with exceeding great joy. I am grateful that He is still filling me with exceeding great joy and working many great miracles through me. He can do same for you if you surrender all to Him.

KEY POINT 

Use the power you received when you were baptised in the Holy Ghost to work miracles through faith in Christ Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 81-88

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 21: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

  Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,

1 Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

  I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

  Standing on the promises of God.

3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

  Standing on the promises of God.

4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

  Standing on the promises of God.

5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

  Standing on the promises of God.

DATE: MONDAY JUNE 19TH, 2023.

THEME: DIVINE ENERGY DRINK II

MEMORISE: 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 

Luke 2:10

READ: Acts 8:1 -8

1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

8 And there was great joy in that city.

MESSAGE

There is yet a more concentrated type of energy drink that comes from heaven to man, called 'Great Joy'. Luke 2: 8-16 tells of how the Angels, at the birth of Jesus Christ, told the Shepherds that they had brought good news of great joy. Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord shall be your strength. When you have great joy, you will be able to do anything your heart desires for God.

When we started building the camp, because of the great joy of having our own campground at last, we did things that people would consider impossible - like building and completing a house and then finishing it within seven days! As the Lord lives, you will experience great joy today in Jesus' name.

Now, what are the things that can bring you great joy? 3 John 1:4 says, "l have no greater joy than to hear that my children  walk in truth." You experience great joy when you are making disciples for Christ, when you are seeing people being saved from the horrors of darkness into the light of God. In the example l gave above where we built a house in seven days, we were not joyful because we now had a place to sleep, but rather because we now had a bigger platform through which we could win more souls to Christ. If you have not been winning souls to Christ, you don't know what joy you have been missing. Jesus said there is joy in heaven whenever one sinner repents (Luke 15:7). So, if God wins a soul through you, and there is rejoicing in heaven, don't you think that you would also be a partaker of that joy?

This great joy is majorly fueled by the knowledge of How much Jesus loves us. Philemon 1:7 says there is great joy in love. When we consider how much God's love has done for us, we are strengthened to do anything just to make sure that His will is done on earth. He has no greater need than for souls to be saved.

ACTION POINT 

Make sure you win a soul to Christ today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 78-80

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.

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

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.
