Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY JULY 3RD, 2023.


THEME: DIVINE HELP II


MEMORISE: 

Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 

Matthew 15:28 


READ: Matthew 15:22 -28

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.


23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.


24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.


25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.


26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.


27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.


28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.


MESSAGE

Divine help is comforting and assuring. It is however, not for everybody. Unless God is your Father, you may not be able to access divine help. In our Bible reading today, Jesus told the woman seeking His help that divine healing is reserved only for God's children so she was disqualified. Her faith in Jesus Christ however, eventually qualified her for divine help.


Therefore, you should ask yourself, "Am l a child of God?" Have l surrendered all to the Lord Jesus?" Placing all your faith in Jesus and surrendering your life to Him is the only way to access God and divine help (John 14:6).


Another vital requirement to access divine help is knowing exactly what you need help with. The woman in our Bible reading today was very clear about what she wanted and she got it as she persisted in her request, with all her faith in Christ Jesus. Bartimaeus is also an excellent example of someone who knew what he wanted God to do for him and got the divine help he sought (Mark 10:46-52).


It is also important to know where to seek for help. Beloved, where are you seeking help from? Many people seek for help from different sources - a man, rivers, mountains and so on. Everyone seeking help from other sources apart from the Almighty God will only have their sorrows multiplied as we see in Psalm 16:4.


You may be asking, "How do l seek divine help? Jesus said: "Ask, and it shall be given you..." (Matthew 7:7). When asking the Lord for help however, don't ask for things He has already empowered you to do yourself. For example, when God provides a job, don't go to sleep and expect Him to do the work for you! There are however, many things that are beyond human capacity and the good news is that nothing is beyond God's capacity. Ask Him for help with those things that no man can do for you. For example, only God can cause a woman without a womb to conceive and bring forth a set of twins. That was the testimony of a sister some years ago and l pray you will also experience unbelievable miracles, in Jesus' name.


Beloved, if you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you have His open invitation to ask for everything you want in faith and He will do them for you according to His will.


ACTION POINT 

If God is truly your Father, go ahead and ask Him for what only He can do for you today. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 12-14


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR


1 I need Thee ev'ry hour,


Most gracious Lord;


No tender voice like Thine


Can peace afford.


Refrain:


I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;


Ev'ry hour I need Thee;


Oh, bless me now, my Savior,


I come to Thee.


2 I need Thee ev'ry hour,


Stay Thou nearby;


Temptations lose their pow’r


When Thou art nigh. 


3 I need Thee ev'ry hour,


In joy or pain;


Come quickly and abide,


Or life is vain. [Refrain]


4 I need Thee ev'ry hour,


Teach me Thy will;


And Thy rich promises


In me fulfill.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY JULY 2ND 2023


TOPIC: DIVINE HELP 1


MEMORISE:

“My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” – (Psalm 121:2)


READ: Psalm 121:1-8 (KJV)


1  I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.


2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.


3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.


4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.


5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.


6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.


7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.


8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.


MESSAGE:

The kind of help anyone can render is determined either by the person's might or capability. Nobody can give what he or she does not have. This makes divine help very desirable since it comes from the unlimited God. David knew this secret and penned what we have as part of our text for today. He said, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:1-2). The following are the steps we must take to secure divine help:


First, we must fear and trust the One who has unlimited power to help. Psalm 37:39-40 says that the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord and that He shall help and deliver them from the wicked because they trust Him. The second step is to keep the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:145-146 says: "I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies". Unfortunately, many self-professing Christians do not want to hear anything about the law of God and would rather overstretch the place of grace to the point of lawlessness. This is not God's will.


The third step for those who would benefit from Divine help is to call on the Lord for the needed help. The Bible says in Exodus 20:3: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". Looking up to anything or anyone apart from God is idolatry. This is dangerous because our God is a jealous God (Exodus 20:5). As a matter of fact, we short-change ourselves by trusting in man that is limited rather than trusting the Almighty, the Unlimited God. The Bible says:


Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horse, because they are strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord. (Isaiah 31:1)


Beloved, I encourage you to surrender your life to Jesus, live righteously and look up to God alone for help. He will never let you down.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please send help to me today, in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: PROVERBS 8-11


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL:

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.


REFRAIN: 

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour 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 Saviour am happy and blessed,

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 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.
