Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE:  TUESDAY AUGUST 1ST  2023

THEME:  BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD

MEMORISE: But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 

READ: 1 Samuel 2:7 -9

7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

MESSAGE

It doesn't matter how low you are now, there is still hope for,a great future. I have seen God lift people from the miry clay and take them to the mountain top. Believe it or not, He will do the same for you, in Jesus' name.

My story is proof of this; l walked barefoot for the first eighteen years of my life. I can never forget my final year in grammar school. Prize-Giving day was coming up and l was supposed to take home many prizes. Those of us in our final year were to wear white trousers and shoes but l had no trousers - white, black or red. As for shoes, l had never owned one. I started lamenting, "God, you know l have no trousers; why did you allow me to win these prizes?" One day, a boy in the hostel asked me to help him choose which of his six trousers he should wear for the ceremony. I helped him choose one and then said, "Emm, you know l don't even have one to wear". "Pick one," he offered. Although the trouser was so big that l nearly had to pull the waistband up to my chest, l didn't care; trousers were trousers.

Now, the next problem was shoes. It was then l remembered that l had a poor uncle somewhere who had some shoes. The pair he gave me was old, with the soles made from lorry tires. I had to practice walking in them because l had never worn shoes before in my life. However, when the Prize-Giving day finally came, l had trousers and shoes to wear to the occasion. 

Even if your situation is worse than what l have just described, l assure you that the Lord who lifted me up can do the same for you. Greater days are coming, if you trust God and lay all in His hands. I must say that God did not raise me just because He felt like doing so; He did into show forth His own glory. He said when your light shines before men, it is so that they can glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).

If you dedicate your life to glorifying Him and are never shy to give Him glory for whatever you achieve, He will raise you, even higher than you can ever imagine.

Greater days are ahead of you, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT 

Anyone who is willing to glorify God with his or her life will experience divine lifting.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 60-63

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 14: O WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY

1 Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Day I Will Never Forget

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

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

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY JULY 31ST, 2023.

THEME: OVERCOMING LUSTS AND TEMPTATION

MEMORISE: 

Abstain from all appearance of evil. 

1 Thessalonians 5:22 

READ: 1 Corinthians 10:13 

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

MESSAGE

What is leading you in life? Is it your flesh or the Spirit of God? Whenever you allow the flesh to give you direction, it will always ends in regret, but when you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all things, you can be sure that all will be well. The first step to overcoming lusts and temptations is submission to God, which supplies the power you need to resist the devil, and he will flee from you according to James 4:7. Moreover, the good news is that the faithfulness of God will not allow his children to be tempted above their ability, without making a way of escape for them.

In our Bible reading today, we saw that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear and He will always make a way of escape for us. That is so reassuring, it is for this reason that James 1:2-4 and James 1:12, admonishes us to count it as joy and  blessing, when we are going through diverse temptations. This is because; God uses it to perfect the patience of His children, and also as promotion exams for them to receive the crown of of life.

In spite of the assurance above, however, if for example, your eyes are always glued to seductive images from the television, internet, and your surroundings, you are merely feeding the lust in your flesh and such will lead you to hell. Don’t fall into it. If you still tolerate ungodly desires to dwell and grow in your heart, heavenly thought, divine vision and inspirations cannot find expression in you.

All believers are required to present their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Your body is the temple of God, not a showpiece for people. If you choose to dress in a way to stir lust in the opposite sex, you can no longer claim to be a child of God, but an instrument in the hands of the devil. Whoever you honor with your appearance, determines who you truly serve. God has provided us with everything we need to overcome lust and temptation through Jesus Christ, all we need is to follow His example. Hebrew 4:15 says Jesus our High Priest was in all point tempted, but He scale over them all without a sin. He has given us the power to resist the devil and to live above lusts and temptation. Hallelujah!

PRAYER POINT

Father, please empower me to overcome lusts and temptations , in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 57-59

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.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 30TH, 2023.

THEME: LUST VERSUS TEMPTATION

 MEMORISE: 

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 

James 1:15 

READ: James 1:12 -15

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

MESSAGE

Temptation is the pressure to yield to influences that can lead people away from God and into sins. The Bible makes it clear that all human beings are subject to temptation, but the outcome often depends on the person’s state of mind and loyalty to God. On the other hand, lust is an inordinate and compulsive desire for sex, food, riches or power. Lust is natural to unbelievers (2 Peter 2:14-18) but Christian must fight against it by showing self-control (Galatians 5:16-21). The Bible condemns lust and describes  it as an abomination to God. A classic example of an inappropriate desire is one that led Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6).

Lust and temptation are like a tag team champion –they work together so well that it is often difficult to differentiate them. The desire for position or superiority if not moderated by the Holy Spirit may translate to inappropriate quest for power, which had turned some to murderer. Some politicians do this with impunity and when the judgment of God later descends on them, they would say it is the handiwork of the devil. At first, David only desire to have a taste of Bathsheba- the wife of Uriah, but it ended up in the murder of her husband, which then brought a divine curse on David’s lineage. 

Beloved, what are you lusting after? Repent today because it would have a sour end - sin and death. James 1: 13-15 says, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

The above Bible passage reveals fundamental truths about lust and temptation. God is not responsible for human temptation. Temptation becomes activated in an individual when he or she is drawn by an inner lust and thus becomes enticed. Thereafter, lust would produce sin, which eventually leads to death. I pray for you today, you will not become an abandoned project or die before your time, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please deliver me from the power of lust and temptation, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 53-56

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.

4 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

THEME: THE SACREDNESS OF BLOOD

MEMORISE: 

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 

Leviticus 17:11

READ: Hebrews 12:22 -24

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

MESSAGE

Blood is not just important in the life of man, but also very sacred in the sight of our creator-the Almighty God. It is so sacred that the Bible says anyone who sheds blood will have his or her blood shed also (Genesis 9:6). The first place where we saw God being angry with someone who shed the blood of another fellow is in Genesis 4, in the case of the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. The Almighty God said:

What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

Genesis  4:10-11

The sacredness of blood can be further seen in our memory verse. The life of the flesh is in the blood and that is why the blood of Jesus can make atonement for our sins and redeem us from eternal damnation that awaits all sinners.

Many people have however, shown complete disregard to the sacredness of blood. Many engage in or encourage abortion of unwanted pregnancies, ritual killing, cannibalism and so on. Some have told lies that led to others losing their lives. Some embezzled funds that should have been used to  build roads or hospitals, thereby causing fatal road accidents and loss of lives due to poor medical services as a result of inadequate funding. Criminals shed blood with impunity without considering the position of the Almighty God concerning such acts.

Beloved, are you blood –guilty? You must repent today because blood is very sacred and God will not spare unrepentant sinners who are caught in the guilt of blood-letting. The goodnews is that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, has paid for all our sins, including blood guiltiness, as we find in the Bible reading of today. The moment a person acknowledges that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose that we may have eternal life, that fellow is saved from every sin, including blood-guiltiness of the past.

Accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, and your sins will be completely forgiven.

ACTION POINT

Pray that God will cleanse you from all sins, including that of blood-guiltiness.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 50-52

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

 HYMN 28: WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN 

1 What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my cleansing this I see—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

For my pardon this my plea—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

3 Nothing can my sin erase

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Naught of works, ’tis all of grace—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

4 This is all my hope and peace—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

This is all my righteousness—

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
