Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SATURDAY JULY 8TH, 2023.


THEME: THE HOPE OF GLORY


MEMORISE: 

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 

Romans 5:2 


READ: Romans 5:1 -5


1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:


2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;


4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:


5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.


MESSAGE


To whom God would made known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.


Colossians 1:27


The Bible says in He Rees 11:6 that one cannot please God without faith, for anyone to have hope of glory, the fellow must choose correctly whom he or she mound serve (Joshua 24::15). It takes faith to choose rightly, according to our memory verse for today.


Through faith in the Living God, we are justified as the redeemed of the Lord - Jesus being the Author and Finisher of,our faith. He came to save us through His death, by the washing away of our sins with His blood. This is why the Bible says:


But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. But now is Christ from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.


1 Corinthians 15::13-14, 20


The Scripture above is the basis for our hope of glory. The Scripture further says, ' lf in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable" (1 Corinthians 15:19. Th s is why as Christians, we should not despair even in tribulation because of the assurance to f glory we have in Christ.


Our hope of glory is not an empty hope, according to Revelation 21:1-7, which assures us of a new heaven and a new earth where there shall be no more pain, sorrow, lack, sickness or 


death. Death shall be swallowed in victory (1 Corinthians 15:34).


Therefore, beloved, to have this hope in you, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today. If you have accepted Christ, ensure you do not look back because Jesus said: ,No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is  fit for the Kingdom of God" (Luke 9:62).


I pray the Almighty God keeps us all in Him to the end in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT 


Thank the Lord for the hope of glory and ask Him to help you remain steadfast in Him to the end.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 27-29


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 6: I AM SO GLAD THAT OUR FATHER IN HEAV'N


1 I am so glad that our Father in heav’n


Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;


Wonderful things in the Bible I see:


This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.



I am so glad that Jesus loves me,


  Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;


I am so glad that Jesus loves me,


    Jesus loves even me.



2 Though I forget Him and wander away,


Still He doth love me whenever I stray;


Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,


When I remember that Jesus loves me.



3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,


When in His beauty I see the great King,


This shall my song in eternity be:


“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY JULY 7TH 2023


THEME: DIVINE BLESSINGS III


MEMORISE: 

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 

John 15:8 


READ:  Luke 13:6 -9 

6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.


7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?


8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:


9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.


MESSAGE

Many divine blessings are conditional. This is why there are many "ifs" in God's covenants with mankind. For instance, in Deuteronomy 28:1 


God promised the children of Israel that He would bless them so much so that they would be above all nations of the earth, if they would hearken diligently to His voice and keep His commandments.


The primary purpose of divine blessings is to make the blessed fellow fruitful and a blessing to others. Fruitfulness however, is also one of the conditional blessings of God. The primary condition for fruitfulness is found in John 15:4:


Abide in me, and l, in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


The question then is, "How can l abide in the Vine?" The answer is not far-fetched. You must first become a part of the Vine by responding positively to Jesus' call in Matthew 11:28-30. When you confess Him as your Lord and Saviour, you become grafted into the Vine - the Lord Jesus Christ.


The next phase is to abide in Jesus. Abiding in Jesus means living according to His will. Jesus said in John 8:31," ...if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed." He also said in John 15:10, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as l have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love".


You can be fruitful spiritually, like Peter who preached one sermon and 3000 souls were won into the kingdom of God (Acts 2:38-41) or Paul, who God healed many sick people through his apron and handkerchiefs (Acts 19:11-12). You can also be fruitful materially, as in the case of Isaac, who became wealthy that a whole nation began to envy him (Genesis 26:14-17). Furthermore, you can also be fruitful physically such that in your old age, you would remain strong, as in the case of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:7).


Beloved, as we read in our Bible text today, it is dangerous to be unfruitful. You will experience all-round fruitfulness if you surrender your life to Jesus and live according to His will for the rest of your life.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, please cause me to experience all-round fruitfulness, in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 24-26


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 


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.

THEME: DIVINE BLESSINGS II


MEMORISE: 

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

Galatians 5:1 


READ: John 5:5 -14

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.


6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?


7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.


8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.


9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.


10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.


11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.


12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?


13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.


14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.


MESSAGE

It is one thing to receive divine blessings and quite another to keep them. I always teach my children in the faith that the grace needed to receive a miracle is not as great as the one needed to keep it. God has no problem blessing His people, but keeping the blessing is a responsibility many people fail to live up to. Today we will be looking at how to retain divine blessings.


The first thing one must do is to stay connected to the source of divine blessings - God. A branch will remain fruitful as long as it remain connected to the vine, and of course will become fruitless the moment it disconnects from the source of fruitfulness. Jesus is the vine and we His disciples are His branches. Without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).


Secondly, to stay connected to the source of divine blessings, you must be holy. Sin causes a separation between the sinner and God (Isaiah 59:2). If God will not listen to a sinner, how then will such a fellow receive and retain divine blessings? The Almighty told Abraham this secret in Genesis 17:1-2:


And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, l am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And l will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.


According to our Bible reading of today, after Jesus had healed a man of thirty-eight-year old sickness, He warned him to stay away from sin so he would not experience something even worse.


Finally, you must acknowledge that all you have is from God and always return all the glory to Him with thanksgiving. For example, Nebuchadnezzar failed to acknowledge that God was his source and he lost all he had. God however, restored all Nebuchadnezzar lost when he later realised that He was nothing without God (Daniel 4:30-37).


I pray you will never lose your God-given blessings, in Jesus'name.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, thank You for being my source. Please, never let me disconnect from You, in Jesus' name. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 21-23


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.
