DATE: FRIDAY JULY 14TH, 2023.


THEME: THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT I


MEMORISE:  

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 

John 16: 13


READ: John 16:7 -14

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:


9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;


10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;


11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.


12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.


13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.


MESSAGE

For the next three days, we shall be looking at the role of Holy Spirit in the life of believers. Today  we will consider His role as a Witness to Jesus Christ our Redeemer.


A very important role of the Holy Spirit is the conviction of sin, as we saw in today's Bible text. It reads in part:


And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and righteousness,  and of judgment. 


John 16:8


Unfortunately, many people choose to be just spectators and merely watch the Holy Spirit in action - doing what only He can do, but are never partakers of it. Such people seldom allow the Holy Spirit to paly His primary role of bringing them to repentance as they refuse to be remorseful for their sins. When people refuse to be convicted of their sins, they demonstrate a lack of faith in God's word, which says all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Such people rationalize sin and call it all sorts of nice names.  This is why the Bible encourages us to confess our sins, even to one another, that we may be healed (James 5:16).


The first thing Jesus takes care of in the life of whoever He want to heal is the issue of sin, according to Mark 2:5-12. Even after Jesus had healed an individual and found him in the temple some days later, His admonition was "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14).


Beloved, if you have not yet confessed and forsaken  your sins, allow Holy Spirit to convict you of them. Begin to pay close attention to the details of God's requirements for holy living and you would see the Holy Spirit transforming your life far beyond all expectations.


PRAYER POINT

Father, please empower me to live holy, in Jesus name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY JULY 13TH, 2023.


THEME: CARING FOR THE NEEDY


MEMORISE: 

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 

Galatians 6:10 


READ: Matthew 25:34 -40

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:


35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:


36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.


37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?


38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?


39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?


40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.


MESSAGE

It is a fact that every human being, no matter how intelligent or highly placed, would at one time or the other require assistance to deal with some circumstances. Such a situation that renders a person of great means incapacitated is usually the type that money, authority and influence cannot resolve. At such times, the person is left with the option of calling for divine intervention through desperate prayers to the Almighty God. I pray that as you call on the name of the Lord in the day of trouble, He will answer you by fire, in Jesus' name.


If you want your prayers to be answered however, you have a responsibility to the poor and needy around you. Our memory verse for today says as we have opportunity, we should be a blessing to all human beings, especially those of the household of faith. Anyone who heartlessly disregards the needs of the weak and helpless is wicked. Such will be ignored in the day of trouble, no matter how desperately they cry for help (Proverbs 21:13).


The point of today's devotional is that we have a responsibility to care for the needy around us. When was the last time you helped the needy around you? When was the last time you made sacrifices in order to meet the needs of other people? Remember, the Bible cited the care for others as one of the condition for making heaven as we saw in our Bible reading today. Our Lord Jesus described how his followers who feed the hungry are hospitable to strangers, clothe the naked, car for the sick, and visit prisoners will be blessed by God and granted eternal life. He went further to say that in as much as these good deeds are done to any of His brethren, it is considered that the acts were done to Him directly and vice versa.


All believers and the Church as a whole must not leave the poor and needy at the mercy of the government. The Body of Christ must not fail in our responsibility to care for the less privileged among us. Remember, if you know how to do good but do not do it, it would be counted unto you s a sin (James 4:20).


ACTION POINT 

Join me to praise the Lord as my wife - a woman completely given to the care of the needy - marks her birthday today.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Songs of Solomon 1-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 4: BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE


1 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,


All ye that are upright in heart;


And ye that have made him your choice,


Bid sadness and sorrow depart.


Refrain:


Rejoice, rejoice! Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!


2 What though in the conflict for right


Your enemies almost prevail,


God’s armies, just hid from your sight,


Are more than the foes which assail.


3 Though darkness surround you by day,


Your sky by the night be o’ercast,


Let nothing your spirit dismay,


But trust till the danger is past.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 12TH, 2023.


THEME: DIVINE INTERVENTION


MEMORISE: 

Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Exodus 3:10


READ: 2 Chronicles 20:21 -24

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.


22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.


23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.


24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.


MESSAGE

The accounts of Genesis reveal that at a point in time, the world was formless and chaotic, however, the reason for this is not our concern in today's devotion. Rather, we want to see why divine intervention is necessary in the affairs of men. For example, when the children of Israel found themselves in slavery, they cried to the God of their fathers.


Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and l have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.


Exodus 3:9


In response to their cry, there was a divine intervention which delivered them from slavery to King Pharaoh (Exodus 6:6). This type of situation is not peculiar to the children of Israel alone; people have been subjected to serious attacks, frustration and untold hardship from generation to generation. The reason is found in the book of Revelation - how the devil came to the world in great fury to wreak havoc on earth's inhabitant (Revelation 12:12). Unless God  intervenes as He did in Genesis, human life can be extremely miserable.


In today's text, three king ganged up against the tribe of Judah. Jehoshaphat - the King of Judah, however, cried to the Lord for divine intervention, knowing that there was no way he could win the battle against just one of the three kings, not to mention the joint forces of all three. The Lord responded and said:


Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.


2 Chronicles 20:17


The Lord intervened and the battle was decided in favour of King Jehoshaphat and his people. The Lord will intervene in your situation today, in Jesus' name. However, be ready to align yourself with God Almighty through Jesus Christ His Son. Be ready to worship God in holiness and make this your lifestyle.


PRAYER POINT 

Father, please intervene in my situation today as You did for Jehoshaphat and the children of Judah.
