Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SUNDAY JUNE 25TH, 2023.


THEME: SPIRITUAL SUPERIORITY 


MEMORISE: 

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. 

Deuteronomy 4:24 


READ: 2 Kings 6:15 -23

15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?


16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.


17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.


18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.


19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.


20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.


21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?


22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.


23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.


MESSAGE:

Spiritual Superiority is what can make you deal with your enemies so completely that you make a mockery of them. That is what happened in Colossians 2:15 which says, "And having spoiled principalities and power, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."


2 Kings 6:8-20 tells us that a King considered Elisha as a threat, so he sent an entire army to arrest him. This however, turned out to be an impossible mission because Elisha demonstrated spiritual superiority by arresting the entire army when they got to his place. As if that was not enough, he also led them as captives into their enemy's territory.


When God sees a man or woman who is committed to a life of holiness, He will use that fellow to make an open shame of the enemy and arrest arresters. If you get really close to God  you won't pray for your enemies to be destroyed because the Bible says in Psalm 23:5:


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


If all enemies are dead, who will behold your glory? I am praying for you that God will take you to such a level that in the very presence of your enemies, He will be glorified in you, in Jesus' name.


Your ability to exhibit spiritual superiority over the devil happens when you become really close to God. How close do you want to be to God - the Consuming Fire? The elders say that when a leaf stays long with the soap, it will become soap. If you stay sufficiently close to the Consuming Fire, you too will become a consuming fire. If you really want to be able to put your enemies to shame, then you need to get close to the Consuming Fire. The  price to pay for this is complete holiness and constant fellowship with God. Fasting and prayers must be your lifestyle.


Without holiness, you cannot even have access to the Lord, talk less of being close to Him. Live holy and you will see the enemy begging you to release them after you have arrested them.


KEY POINT

When you get sufficiently close to the Consuming Fire, you will also become a consuming fire against your enemies.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 112-118


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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY JUNE 24TH, 2023.


THEME: OBEY YOUR PASTOR


MEMORISE: 

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 

Acts 2:42


READ: Hebrews 13:17 -18

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.


18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.


MESSAGE:

If you have chosen someone to be your pastor, then it is only right that you obey him or her. There are many people who call me Daddy and say l am the spiritual authority over them but l know that they are only deceiving themselves because they do not obey my instructions when they are contrary to what they want. If you don't obey the fellow with spiritual authority over you, then you are not really under his covering. Obey your pastor so that whatever God wants to give you through him or her can get to you. 


Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.


Hebrews 13:17


A pastor's work becomes easy when he or she has a cooperative congregation who practice what they are taught from the pulpit. When you hear a message from the altar that is in line with the word of God, do it. If l show you in the Scriptures where God says you should do that thing, then you have to obey. If you disobey the word of God from the altar, it is not really the pastor you are disobeying but the Lord who sent him.


There are many people who obey the word of God partially. They obey the Scriptures they find convenient and ignore the rest. The reason  many of such people don't get expected results as Christians is that their obedience is not complete. Until your obedience is complete, you cannot resist the devil and see him flee. James 4:7 says you must submit to God first


Please my beloved, don't be stubborn like the lsraelites, constantly provoking Moses to the point where he eventually got angry and took an action that caused God to prevent him from entering into the Promised Land (Numbers 20:1-12). Don't discourage or provoke your pastor; rather, encourage him or her by submitting to his or her authority (Philemon 1:21).


ACTION POINT 

Do something for your Pastor today to encourage him or her for all the labour he or she exerts over you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 107-111


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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 23RD, 2023.


THEME: ALONE WITH GOD


MEMORISE: 

And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 

Luke 4:42 


READ: Psalms 84:1-12

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!


2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.


3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.


4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.


5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.


6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.


7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.


8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.


9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.


10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.


11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.


12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.


MESSAGE:

The greatest experiences a man can have in life are drawn from the moments he spends alone with God. Those are times when destinies are shaped. If you look through the Scriptures and study people who achieved great feats for God, you will notice that all of them spent quality time alone with God. In Exodus 24:18, Moses had been in the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights spending time alone with God. No wonder he is the only man who ever saw God. After seeing the back of God in Exodus 33:23, the Bible says the glory that shone on his face was so bright that people could not look at him. That is what happen when you spend time with God: His glory rubs off on you and it is evident to everyone around you.


Many times when the Bible talks about Elijah, he was on the mountain top. You go to the mountain top because you want to get away from where people are so that you can be alone with God. What was the result of Elijah's constant fellowship with God? He could call down fire from heaven anytime he wanted. He was also the first prophet to ever bring the dead back to life. It is in those times that you spend with God that He enlarges your capacity to do greater things than you used to. Joseph was a very busy man in Potiphar's house, overseeing his master's many great possessions. All that time that he was busy, he didn't grow beyond being a dreamer. When he was locked up in prison however, he had time to be alone with God and grew from being a dreamer to becoming an interpreter of dreams.


Your greatest potential will only be realised when you spend quality time with God. During Jesus' earthly ministry, He never joked with His quiet time (Luke 6:12, 21:37). No wonder He was able to fulfil His destiny as tough as it was. Be intentional about spending quality time with God - praising Him, praying, fasting, studying and meditating on His word. Don't joke with your quiet time with God; it is your most important meeting every day.


REFLECTION 

How many minutes/hours do you spend alone with God daily?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 104-106


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.



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.
