THEME: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT VI

MEMORISE: 

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 

John 12:46

READ: Psalms 126:1-3  

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

MESSAGE

From the story of Bartimaeus, we learn that darkness and sorrow go hand in hand. You don't have to understand philosophy to know that a blind beggar must have been sad. I pray for you: Your eyes will never grow dim, in Jesus' name.

Darkness and sorrow go hand in hand, which means light brings joy. Psalm 16:11 says "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."

Our Bible reading for today says that when the Lord turned around the people's captivity, their mouths were filled with laughter. That is the nature of Light; He brings laughter. Light stands for joy (John 16:24).

There was this woman whose children we're dying so she visited a white garment prophet for a solution. When she got there, the man's wife gave her a piece of kolanut to eat, claiming that was the solution to her problem. She ate it and at night, found herself in a witchcraft meeting. Before long she had offered up her husband. After about two years, the other witches asked for one of her children - the very children she wanted to protect. She attended one of our programmes in Ilorin and while l was preaching, l noticed a commotion in the congregation. After the service, the ushers told me that the woman's dress caught fire during the preaching. We prayed a simple prayer after which she gave her life to Christ and when she went home, she excreted a dead snake. She was free from that day on. Darkness does not give joy, all it had to offer is sorrow. Proverbs 10:22 says it is only the blessings of God that maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. If the devil is offering you something that seems good, you will not fall for it, in Jesus' name.

If you are truly a child of Light, how can you stay away from Jesus - the Light of the world? Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, "come on to me, all ye that labor and her heavy laden and l will give you rest." If you remain in darkness, you will keep suffering, but when you turn to Jesus Christ, He gives you a new beginning and turns the tide for you. If you really want to be in Light then you should begin to live holy from today. 

KEY POINT

If the devil is offering you something that seems good, that thing is only a bait; his real aim is to bring you sorrow.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 50

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

DATE: SATURDAY 19TH, AUGUST 2023.

TOPIC: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT V

MEMORISE:

"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."

1 Samuel 2:8

READ: Nehemiah 4:1-15

4:1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.

4:2 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

4:3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

4:4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:

4:5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

4:7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,

4:8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.

4:9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

4:10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

4:11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

4:12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.

4:13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

4:15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.

MESSAGE

From the story of Bartimaeus, we can see that darkness and stagnation go hand in hand. Bartimaeus must have been on that same spot, begging since he became blind. Since stagnation is linked to darkness, this means that light stands for progress and promotion. Psalm 75:6-7 says:

"For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."

1 Samuel 2:8 tells us that God can pick up a beggar from a dunghilI and keep promoting him until he is standing with princes. If you notice that you seem to have been in the same position for years now, then it is likely that you are in darkness. You need to connect to the Light now, so that you can make real progress.

Stagnation is primarily caused by forces of darkness. The devil fights progress. That is why when Nehemiah was trying to rebuild the city walls, the devil raised many enemies to stop the work. One fellow was talking to me some years ago; he said, “I don't know what's happening; it seems as if my enemies are increasing”. I said, “Tell me a litle bit about how things have been with you in the past couple of years". He said everything had been good; whatever he touched had been prospering. I said, “That is the reason". There are those who love it when you come to them to beg for food, but the moment you begin to make progress, hatred comes. Darkness does not want you to progress, but thank God light stands for promotion.

There was a man who had been on one spot for many years. During one of our programmes, God spoke to me and l announced, "There is someone here; somebody close to you will die next week. Don't be sad because, after the death, your promotion will come". The following week, his father died, but before the man passed on, he confessed that he had said, "How can my son be greater than l?", so he decided to use diabolical powers to make the boy stagnant. Almost immediately after the father died, the promotion of the young man began. Anyone siting on your promotion and refusing to stand will be uprooted by the Almighty God, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, destroy anything that has hindered my promotion so far and lift me high, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Jeremiah 49

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Saviour above.

Chorus:

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

2 There shall be showers of blessing—

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

3 There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.

4 There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

5 There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH, 2023.

THEME: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT IV

MEMORISE: 

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 

Leviticus 26:9  

READ: Genesis 1:26 -31

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

MESSAGE

Darkness is linked with barrenness. This implies that light is equivalent to fruitfulness. When you study the Scriptures, you will see that God is interested in your fruitfulness. The very first commandment He gave to man is "Be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:28). In Exodus 23:26, the Almighty God said clearly: "There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days l will fulfil". I am decreeing, that if you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, you will carry your own twins soon, in Jesus' name.

There are some cases of barrenness where the doctor cannot see anything wrong with the couple because the devil is at work. A woman's mother-in-law once visited her house and said, "My daughter, eat this bread and use it to block your womb". The girl ate it, not taking the woman's word seriously. From that day, she stopped menstruating for several years. Thank God we held a programme in her town that ran for some days. One afternoon during the programme, she slept and had a dream. In the dream, some people dressed like medical doctors laid her on a table, opened up her belly and began to pull out a rope. The rope was very long, and at the end of the rope was a very black piece of bread. By the time she woke, she saw that the bed was wet with her menstrual flow. The last time l heard from her, she already had 5 children. Whatever darkness has used to stop your fruitfulness- whether it is in child-bearing or otherwise, the Light will deal with it.

Some people asked me not too long ago, "Why are you against same-sex marriage?" I asked in turn, "How will two men or two women produce a child?" They mentioned adoption, but who is going to produce the child they are going to adopt? If we all adopt this lifestyle, the human race would become extinct in less than a hundred years. I told them, "The devil is a liar". I don't care what people or organizations say, l will stand by the truth. The word of God is clear: Be fruitful and multiply". 

Anyone trying to do anything that disobeys that instruction is disobeying God Himself.

PRAYER POINT 

Father, as you have commanded me to be fruitful, my body and all that concerns me will obey that command and  bear fruit, in Jesus name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 47-48

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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: THURSDAY AUGUST 17TH, 2023.

THEME: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT III

MEMORISE: 

God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 

Psalms 68:6

READ:  Psalms 23:1-6  

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

MESSAGE

From Bartimaeus' story in Mark 10:46-52, we see that he called on Jesus for help, some people told him to shut up. He had not offended them, yet they hated him. This is  however not surprising because darkness also stands for hatred while light represents love. Proverbs 14:20 says the poor is hated even by his own neighbors. Darkness goes hand in hand with poverty and poverty leads to hatred. People can hate you just because you are poor.  Thank God light stands for love. Romans 8:37 says we are more than conquerors because of the One who loved us. When you come in contact with The Light, your victory is guaranteed. It doesn't matter how many people hate you, if Jesus is on your side, you will be a winner.

You would notice that, when Bartimaeus was crying for help, not a single person encouraged him until the Light of the world called for him. Bartimaeus was a lonely man. There is a direct link between darkness and loneliness. In Psalm 121:5, the Bible says the Lord is your shade upon your right hand. This means God is always with you. If you come in contact with the Light of the world, you can never be lonely again. There are many people who are rich and successful in their endeavours, yet lonely. This is because they have not come in contact with the Light of the world. Bartimaeus' loneliness ended the day he met Jesus because he instantly became a celebrity and we are still talking about him today.

Light drives away loneliness while darkness embraces it. Many times, loneliness is a result of works of darkness. It is the Light who made the statement in Genesis 2:18 that it is not good that man should be alone. Years ago, a mother came to me and said she needed help. She had four daughters- the youngest of whom was 28 years old, yet they were all single. As I was about tok pray, the Lord told me to ask some questions and I discovered there was a demon in their family who had laid claim to the girls. This demon was the one preventing them from getting married. We prayed and God gave us victory over the evil covenant. Within a year, all four of them were married. Any evil covenant you have entered into that may be stopping you from moving to the next level will be destroyed by the Light today, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT

When you meet the Light, loneliness become a thing of the past.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 44-46

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.

Chr.  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.”
