Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2023.


TOPIC: THE WAGES OF SIN


MEMORISE:

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23


READ:

ROMANS 6:18-23


18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.


19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.


20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.


21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.


22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.


23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


MESSAGE:


Many people are in the miry clay of life. A miry clay is a situation so terrible, you cannot get out of it by yourself; you need external help to get you out of it. When the doctor tells someone that they have done their best and there is nothing more they can do to make the fellow feel better, he knows that at that point, except God comes to his aid, he is finished. Thankfully, I have a God who specialises in lifting people out of the miry clay and placing their feet on the rock to stand firm (Psalm 40:2).


What do you do for the Almighty God to pull you out of the miry clay? The first thing is to realise that it is sin that brought you into the miry clay in the first instance. When the paralysed man was brought to Jesus in Mark 2:1-12, the first thing the Lord said to him was, "Your sins be forgiven you". The word of God is clear: the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Sickness is an agent of death. You must repent and forsake your sins before you can come out of the miry clay. The Lord told the man at the pool of Bethesda, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14). If you don't get rid of sin in your life, you may never get out of that miry clay. David said in Psalm 66:18: "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:" How can you be expecting an answer from God when He cannot even hear your prayers at all?


I was invited to Tunisia about 11 years ago to speak at the World Prayer Conference and I said, "Brethren, I have come to submit to you that God answers all prayers". Some deep theologians called me aside and said that it is not true. Don't let anybody deceive you, God answers prayers. He said, "Call on me and I will answer you" (Jeremiah 33:3). He didn't say, "I may answer you". The only variable there is, He can only answer the prayers He hears. If He doesn't hear, how will there be an answer? Isaiah 59:1-2 says clearly that it is our sins that prevent God from hearing us.


If you are still obeying God half-heartedly, change your ways. It is in your best interest to do so.


KEY POINT:


Sin blocks you from the life of God and gives you death as an inheritance. Stay away from sin.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HOSEA 5-9


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 28

WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN?


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.


Refrain:

O precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow;

No other fount I know;

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 


2. For my pardon this I see;

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

For my cleansing this my plea:

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.



3. Nothing can for sin atone,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus:

Naught of good that I have done,

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.

 Exodus 15:19 (KJV)  For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. May the Lord fight for you, open the sea that you may pass on dry ground but cause your enemies that pursue you to drown and be silenced for ever in Jesus mighty name.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2023.


TOPIC: CRY TO THE LORD


MEMORISE:


Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

Psalm 102:1


READ:

PSALM 40:1-2


1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.


2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.


MESSAGE:


In Psalm 40:1, David said God inclined unto him and heard his cry - not his whisper, but his cry. A cry in this context is a prayer made with violence. Matthew 11:12 says, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."


You must therefore be violent in your dealings with things of the Kingdom of heaven. In Mark 10:46-52, the kind of prayer that Bartimeous prayed is what we call a cry. There was a multitude there just like there are multitudes calling on God every minute, but in the midst of that multitude, one man cried and God inclined His ear to Him.


When you cry to God and He inclines His ear to you, He lifts you out of the miry clay. Miry clay simply means a situation so bad that unless help comes from outside, you are done for. The more a person in quicksand struggles, the deeper he or she would go into it. It is a situation where there is nothing you can do on your own to be free. When in that kind of situation, you don't whisper, you cry. There is a practical example in Mark 2:1-12, where a man paralysed from the neck down was brought to Jesus. Every part of his body was dead except the neck upwards. There was nothing any doctor could do for him, but thank God for Jesus Christ. When Jesus saw him, He said, "Arise" and he came out of the miry clay. In the name that is above every other, you will come out of the miry clay.


Another example is in 2 Kings 4:1-7, where the widow of the son of the prophet was so badly in debt, the creditors said they would sell her children within 24 hours if she didn't pay. She didn't whisper, she cried to the man of God. Before the 24 hours were up, she had more than enough to pay her debt. I pray God will incline His ears to you today as you cry out to Him, in Jesus' name.


Whenever people cried unto the Lord again and again, He would eventually turn and attend to them. Let that be your disposition when you go to God in prayer. Don't pray like a gentleman or lady, with finesse. Cry to Him with all your strength, and He will incline His ear to you.


ACTION POINT:


Go to God today with that stubborn problem and cry to Him until He attends to you.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HOSEA 1-4


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 15

PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOUR


1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,

Hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling

Do not pass me by.


Saviour, Saviour,

Hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling

Do not pass me by. 


2. Let me at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition

Help my unbelief.


3. Trusting only in Thy merit

Would I seek Thy face

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.


4. Thou, the spring of all my comfort

More than life to me

Whom have I on earth beside Thee

Whom in Heav'n but Thee?

Tuesday, September 12, 2023

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Exodus 15:13 (KJV)  Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. May the mercy of the Lord overturn the boast of the aggressor over you in Jesus mighty name.
