Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY JULY 25TH, 2023.

THEME: FEAR GOD I

MEMORISE: 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

Proverbs 9:10

READ:  Psalms 34:1 

1 (A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

MESSAGE

Today's memory verse clearly establishes the need to fear the Lord if we would be wise and gain an understanding of life. The Lord asks: "A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then l be a father, where is mine honour?"  (Malachi 1:6). How do we fear the Lord? Today's Bible reading gives us ideas on how we fear the Most High God. One, we must magnify the Lord for who He is. It takes appreciation of God to fear Him. The Psalmist says:

O, Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens...When l consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.

Psalm 8:1, 3

Secondly, we must put our total trust in Him. Lack of trust in God may cause us to disobey Him like Adam and Eve did. They repeated what God had told them but the serpent countered it, thereby calling God a liar.  Genesis 3:4-5 says, "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." If Adam and Eve had had the fear of God in them, the devil would not have had his way in their lives. Here we can see that, indeed, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

Joseph is a classic example of someone who demonstrated the fear of God. Due to his fear of the Lord, he refused to take advantage of the adulterous offer of his master's wife. He refused to commit sexual immorality and told Potiphar's wife:

There is none greater in this house than l; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can l do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

Genesis 39:9

Fear the Lord and keep His commandments. When you do, the type of blessing that later came upon Joseph (Genesis 41:14) will also be your portion.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to fear You indeed and fill me with Your wisdom, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 38-40

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 1: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

THEME: GOD STILL SPEAKS TO HIS PEOPLE II

MEMORISE: 

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 

Hebrews 1:1 

READ: Hebrews 1:1 

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

MESSAGE

Yesterday, we started discussing the reality of God still speaking to His people, even to this present moment. In today's text, we read that though God spoke to His people through His prophets, now He speaks through His Son, Jesus Christ. This is made possible through the Holy Spirit whom Jesus sent to the Church right from the day of Pentecost. He promised:

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever l have said unto you.

John 14:26

God still speaks to His people; no doubt about that. We must however, pay close attention to the later part of the sentence - "to His people." In other words, God speaks only to His people. Why only His people? It is because it is His people who hearken and act on His words. God has no time to waste talking to those who will not do His bidding. This is why Jesus Christ was fond of speaking to His disciples, whom He knew would abide by His words. He said further:

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and l will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:21

Beloved, there are a lot of blessings for those who hear from God. One of these blessings is that such people would avoid mistakes. For example, the word of God to the people in Cornelius' household was based on Peter's ability to hear from God and his obedience to the instructions given to him (Acts 10). In the same vein, Philip's ability to hear from God took him to the Gazan desert where he gained the soul of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-39).

For example, hearing from God can reveal the type of business you can do to prosper. It can also help you know where to go, live or what type of friends you should keep. If you desire to hear from God directly, you must give your life to Christ and live wholly for Him.

REFLECTION

Have you been hearkening and living according to His words?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 35-37

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.

THEME: GOD STILL SPEAKS TO HIS PEOLPE I

MEMORISE: 

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 

1 Kings 3:5 

READ: Genesis 12:1 -4

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

MESSAGE

God still speaks to this day, but unfortunately, many people do not hear Him because they are too busy with the affairs of life. The painful thing is that people do not know what they are missing by not listening to their maker. In today's text, we read about Abraham's encounter with the Almighty God.

Now the Lord had said to Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy father's kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that l will show thee.

Genesis 12:1

There are some lessons we can learn from this singular encounter that changed Abraham's life, One, God discovered the love and sincerity of Abraham so He revealed Himself to him. This love for God was demonstrated in his positive and prompt response to God's command to leave his father's house. Another lesson is that the dialogue between God and Abraham did not contain commands alone; it was backed by eternal blessings. The Bible says, 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"  (Romans 10:17). Abraham became the father of faith because the word of God penetrated his heart. In the Scripture from where we took the memory verse, we read this of the encounter of Solomon with the Almighty God. During that divine encounter, God gave Solomon a blank cheque and this is a  typical privilege enjoyed by those who have such dialogues with God.

In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what l shall give thee.

1 Kings 3:5

To be genuine children of God, we must surrender completely to all His commandments. This is where many people often miss it - they are not ready to obey God fully. They want freedom from His commandments; they want to take over the affairs of life without any recourse to God Almighty. I encourage you to give your life to Jesus Christ today. Seek His face without ceasing - not just what He has to give and you will receive great revelations from Him that will transform your life for good.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please speak to me today, and always.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 32-34

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS

Holy words long preserved

We have come with open hearts

Words of Life, words of Hope

Give us strength, help us cope

In this world, where e'er we roam

Ancient words will guide us Home.

Holy words of our Faith

Handed down to this age.

Came to us through sacrifice

Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

Holy words long preserved

For our walk in this world.

They resound with God's own heart

Oh let the ancient words impart.

DATE: SATURDAY JULY 22ND, 2023.

THEME: LOVE AND GODLINESS II

MEMORISE: 

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

1 John 4:8 

READ: 1 John 4:7 

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

MESSAGE

Verse 8 of our text which is our memory verse, says: "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love" (1 John 4:8). This Scripture implies that not all people we find in Church know God or can be trusted. The early Church leaders did not take the issue of love lightly because they knew godliness is tested by the amount of love a believer possesses. Paul the Apostle prayed thus:

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13

It takes love to be godly because God is love. This love made Him give up His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for us so that we would not perish (John 3:16 and 1 John 4:9). This is the standard that the Almighty God has set for those who claim to be His children. Love makes people go the extra mile in helping others. Jesus commended the good Samaritan in Luke 10:33-37 because the proof of God in us is doing good. Our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated this as recorded in Acts 10:38:

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

James the Apostle describe love in practical terms when he wrote: "Yea, a man may say Thou hast faith, and l have works: sheweth me thy faith without thy works, and l will show thee my faith by my works" (James 2:18). The proof of godliness is service to humanity, according to 2 Timothy 2:21, John 15:9 also says:

As the Father hath loved me, so have l loved you: continue in my love

It is a divine commandment for all children of God to continue in His love. Are you living in the love of Christ?

PRAYER POINT 

Father please fill me with every good work and let me reflect Your love to the world.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 29-31

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 13: JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

1 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

for the Bible tells me so. 

Little ones to him belong; 

they are weak, but he is strong. 

Refrain: 

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! 

Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. 

2 Jesus loves me he who died 

heaven's gate to open wide. 

He will wash away my sin, 

let his little child come in. 

3 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

as he loved so long ago, 

taking children on his knee, 

saying, "Let them come to me."
