Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY JULY 16TH 2023


TOPIC: THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT III


MEMORISE:

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” – (Ephesians 4:30)


READ: Jude 1-24 (KJV)


 1 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,


MESSAGE:

Our memory verse of today reveals another very important role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer – preserving us unto the day of redemption. ‘The day of redemption' in the memory verse is talking of the ultimate redemption when we safely arrive in the Kingdom of God. The reason is that there is no eternal assurance that once you are saved, you are forever saved. There are examples of people who started well but ended badly. For instance, after King Saul was ordained by Samuel, he prophesied and the people asked: "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (1 Samuel 10:11). Unfortunately, after King Saul got into trouble for disobeying divine instructions, he went after a familiar spirit. (1 Samuel 28:7) says:


Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.


King Saul did this despite the fact that the Bible says in Isaiah 65:24:


And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.


In John 16:7-14, we see that the Holy Spirit guides us into all - not some - truth. Many things we ought to know about God, our Saviour, ourselves, the written word of God, the devil, the world in which we live and so on are explained to us by the Holy Spirit. We cannot gain an understanding of God without the Holy Spirit. The word of God would be ordinary literature without the Holy Spirit's illumination.


The Bible says in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit will show us things to come.


The spiritual decadence in the end-time Church has been foretold by the Holy Spirit (1 Timothy 4:1-2). It is a pity, however, that some children of God are not taking advantage of the Holy Spirit's guidance to keep us from falling. May you not fall, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT:

Holy Spirit Divine, please keep me to the uttermost end. Help me to finish well and strong, in the mighty name of Jesus.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 4-8


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL: 8 - I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR


1. I need Thee every 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 Saviour,

I come to Thee! 


2. I need Thee every hour,

Stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their power

When Thou art nigh.


3. I need Thee every hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide

Or life is vain.


4. I need Thee every hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.


5. I need Thee every hour,

Most Holy one;

Oh, make me Thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son!

DATE: SATURDAY JULY 15TH, 2023.


THEME: THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT II


MEMORISE: 

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

Romans 8:27


READ: Romans 8:26 -27

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.


MESSAGE

We started to look at the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian yesterday. We discovered that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners of their sins and draw them unto repentance. Today we want to look at how the Holy Spirit helps believers pray.


When the Bible says that we should pray without ceasing (1Thessalonians 5:17), how can this be possible, humanly speaking? Clearly, this can only be possible with the help of the Holy Spirit. This is why l pity those who deny the baptism of the Holy Spirit as promised by our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 1:8.


Our Lord Jesus Christ gave a parable to teach us how important ceaseless prayer is to us as believers in Luke 18:1-8. However, without the help of the Holy Spirit, no one can accomplish this.


Naturally, we do not even know what to pray for but the Holy Spirit guides us and prays the will of God through us. Romans 8:26 says:


Likewise the Spirit also helpeth out infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


From the scripture above, we see that we need the Holy Spirit to help us pray the right way. 


The Holy Spirit also reminds us of the significance of giving thanks as we pray. Indeed, our thanksgiving, praise and worship should always exceed our requests. 


Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.


Philippians 4:6


These indeed are keys to get our prayers answered hence all Christians must seek to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.


PRAYER POINT

Holy Spirit Divine, please come into my life and help me in my prayer life.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 1-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE


1 In Christ alone my hope is found 


He is my light, my strength, my song 


This cornerstone, this solid ground 


Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 


What heights of love, what depths of peace 


When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 


My comforter, my all in all 


Here in the love of Christ I stand  


2 In Christ alone who took on flesh 


Fullness of God in helpless babe 


This gift of love and righteousness 


Scorned by the ones He came to save 


Till on that cross as Jesus died 


The wrath of God was satisfied 


For every sin on Him was laid 


Here in the death of Christ I live  


There in the ground His body lay 


3 Light of the world by darkness slain 


Then bursting forth in glorious day 


Up from the grave He rose again 


And as He stands in victory 


Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 


For I am His and He is mine 


Bought with the precious blood of Christ  


4 No guilt in life, no fear in death 


This is the power of Christ in me 


 life's first cry to final breath 


Jesus commands my destiny 


No power of hell, no scheme of man 


Can ever pluck me from His hand 


Till He returns or calls me home 


Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

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.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Songs of Solomon 7-14

HYMN 14: O WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY


1 Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Day I Will Never Forget

After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away

Jesus My Saviour I Met

Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend

He Met The Need Of My Heart

Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling

He Made All The Darkness Depart


Chorus


Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

When At The Cross The Saviour Made Me Whole

My Sins Were Washed Away

And My Night Was Turned To Day

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul


Chorus


2 Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above

Into God’s Family Divine

Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love

Oh What A Standing Is Mine

And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made

When As A Sinner I Came

Took Of The Offer Of Grace

He Did Proffer He Saved Me

Oh Praise His Dear Name


Chorus


3 Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure

After The Passing Of Time

I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure

There In Those Mansions Sublime

And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day

When At The Cross I Believed

Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal

From His Precious Hand I Received


Chorus
