OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 30TH, 2023.

THEME: GOD'S BLANK CHEQUE

MEMORISE:

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel 12:3

READ: John 15:16

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

MESSAGE

If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

John 14:14

In other words, Jesus was saying in the verse above that, "I will give you a blank cheque". Today, we will discuss how to obtain this divine blank cheque.

Ye have not chosen me, but l have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye, shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

John 15:16

He said in the passage above that when you win souls and follow them up until they are strong in the Lord, then you can ask God for whatever you want in His name, and He will do it for you.

When you seek God's kingdom first above all else, then He will give you everything that you could ever need (Matthew 6:33). I have always said that God is a playwright, having written the script of everything that is happening on earth. In 1 Kings 3:5-14, when God gave Solomon a blank cheque, He already knew that the boy would ask for wisdom to rule God's people, so when he did, the Lord added riches, peace and everything else a man could ever want. When God sees that you have a heart that is interested in the salvation of the souls and in the establishment of His kingdom on earth, you will get from Him all those things other people are struggling for.

Seek God's kingdom diligently; seek to ensure that His will is done on earth as it is in heaven. You will see how He will embarrass you with so many blessings that you would be the one saying, "Lord, it is enough". Give to the work of God, go out on evangelism regularly, followed up new converts to ensure they abide in the flock of Christ. Let God see your dedication to His work and He will surely reward you with a blank cheque.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: THURSDAY JUNE 29TH, 2023.

THEME: ENTERING GOD'S PRESENCE II

MEMORISE:

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Psalms 50:23

READ: Psalms 118:19 -21

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

MESSAGE

Yesterday we identified righteousness as a precondition to access God's presence. Once a person has clean hands and a pure heart, he or she would be able to access God's presence with thanksgiving and praises as stated in Psalm 100:4:

Enter into his gates with thanksgivings, and into his court with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

If you try to get into His presence with complaints or even requests, the gate will not be opened to you. Only those who approach Him with thanksgiving are attended to. However, your thanksgiving will get you into His gates, but your praises will get you into His courts. Being in His courts is definitely a step higher than just getting into the gates. The keepers of the gates always check for how well you can praise God before they admit you in. If they see that you are not one who is willing to praise God, they will lock you out. David seemed to be talking to the keepers of the gate when he said in Psalm 118:19, "Open to me the gates of righteousness: l will go into them, and l will praise the LORD."

It is as though God had instructed them thus: "If anyone comes here with complaints or requests without thanksgiving or praise, don't open this gate for the fellow". That is why when Jesus was teaching us to pray in Luke 11:1-4, He said we are to start with, "Our Father who hath in heaven, hallowed be thy name". If you start your prayers that way, you are guaranteed access to the presence of God, where you can then present your requests.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

John 4:23

Since the Father seeks true worshippers, it means that whenever you worship Him, you draw down His presence to wherever you are. Psalm 22:3 says that He inhabits the praises of His children. You won't have to struggle to get into His presence again, if you will just fill your heart with thanksgiving and praise.

ACTION POINT

Spend at least one hour just praising God today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 141-150

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 16: PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM, OUR BLESSED REDEEMER

1 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!

Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!

Strength and honor give to his holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.

In his arms he carries them all day long.

Refrain:

Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.

Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song.

2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.

He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.

Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,

love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.

3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!

Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious.

Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 28TH, 2023.

THEME: ENTERING GOD'S PRESENCE 1

MEMORISE: Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Isaiah 26:2

READ: Psalms 24:3 -6

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

MESSAGE

The Bible tells us in Psalm 100:4 the entrance into God's presence has a gate. When you see a gate in a place, you know it is there so as to restrict access. Whatever is inside the place must be so valuable that they don't want any unauthorized person to have access to it. There are many treasures in the presence of God and not just anybody can enjoy them. One of such treasures is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11) and Liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). Anyone who has entered the presence of God will tell you that it is a place that you don't want to ever come out from. In 2 Corinthians 5:8, Apostle Paul said, "We are confident, l say, and willing rather to be absent from this body, and to be present with the Lord."

The first criterion for accessing God's presence is holiness. God cannot stand sin. If you have any form of sin in your life, the gate into His presence will be shut against you. Psalm 24:3-4 says:

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who, shall stand in his holy place? He that had clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Only those with clean hands and a pure heart can be allowed to enter into the presence of the Lord. If your hands have been soiled with sin, forget about it. If your heart is not pure, if you harbour impure thoughts in that heart, the gate into God's presence will be shut against you.

Open to me the gate of righteousness: l will go into them, and l will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

Psalm 118:19

The gates into the presence of God are called the gates of righteousness; if you are not righteous, you cannot go through. The One whose presence you want to enter is a holy God; you must be holy before you can get in there. Joseph had to shave and change his clothes before appearing before Pharaoh (Genesis 41:14; how much more when you want to enter the presence of the King of kings.

KEY POINT

To enter the presence of God, you must be holy.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 134-140

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 28: WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN

1 What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my cleansing this I see—
