Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2023.


TOPIC: HELP THOU MY UNBELIEF


MEMORISE:

“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” 

Mark 9:24


READ: MARK 9:17-27 (KJV)


17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;


18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.


19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.


20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.


21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.


22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.


23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.


24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.


25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.


26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.


27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.


MESSAGE:


In Ezekiel 37:1-11, the Bible tells us about the valley of dry bones where God asked the Prophet, "Can these bones live?" Ezekiel said, "Only you know". In other words, Ezekiel was saying, "My faith can't handle that", but the dry bones eventually lived. In Mark 9:17-27, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus' disciples. They couldn't deliver the child and thus referred him to the Lord Jesus, who said, "O ye of little faith". The man said, "I believe, but help thou my unbelief". The day I heard that story, I was so glad, because that means if my faith is not enough, I can cry to Him and He will make it grow.


When I became General Overseer, we loved to cook and eat together during our convention, but we were having challenges with the finances for the feeding and the parishes were groaning under the cost. One day during the convention, out of desperation, I said, "One day will come when you will be able to come to the Convention without bringing any money at all". When we finished that night, and I got back to my office to pray, the Lord spoke to me, "Son, when do you want that to happen?" I said, "One of these days" and He responded, "Why not from now?" At that time we were about 10,000 people. How would I feed 10,000 people for one week? The Lord said, "Announce to the entire congregation that you will feed them next convention". I said, "Daddy, I've never disobeyed You before, but this one? I can't tell them". He didn't put any pressure on me, so the Convention ended and everybody left, but they came back the following month for the Holy Ghost Service and God repeated it. I said, "Lord, my faith can't carry it", and He said to me, "Son, you are about to lose a miracle". I therefore announced, "Brethren, next year, don't bring any money for feeding, you will be fed". That was over 20 years ago, and God has not failed once.


You may think I am a man of great faith, but the truth is that my Daddy is the One who helps my little faith, so I depend entirely on Him. He has never let me down and I know He will not let you down too.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help my unbelief.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: HAGGAI 1-2


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL:  29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY 


1. When peace like a river attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

“It is well, it is well with my soul”


REFRAIN: 

It is well with my soul,

It is well, it is well with my soul. 


2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And has shed His own blood for my soul.


3. My sin O, the bliss of this glorious thought,

My sin, not in part but the whole

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!


4. O, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2023.


TOPIC: PUT GOD FIRST ALWAYS


MEMORISE:

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.

Proverbs 3:9


READ:

1 KINGS 17:7-16


7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.


8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,


9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.


10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.


11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.


12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.


13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.


14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.


15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.


16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.


MESSAGE:


One of the things I have discovered about God in my little walk with Him is that He wants to be your priority at all times. He said in Matthew 6:33 that you should seek His kingdom and righteousness first. In Psalm 10:4, the Bible describes those who do not seek God and have Him in their thoughts as proud. In Deuteronomy 26:2, God said that your very first harvest should be given to Him. He wants to be your number one or nothing at all to you. In fact, one of His names is 'Jealous' (Exodus 34:14).


Now, when God sees that you always put Him first and you have honoured Him, then He will begin to work out a befitting reward for you. In Proverbs 3:9-10, the Bible says: "Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: "So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine". In our Bible reading for today, Elijah told the widow of Zarephath to prepare his meal first before making that of herself and her son. Some other women would have said, "Prophet, did you not hear that there is only one meal left? If I prepare that one for you, there will be nothing left to prepare for me and my son". Instead of saying that, she honoured God in the life of the Prophet in that difficult situation and in return, she never lacked food again. While the entire nation was starving, she had food in abundance. That is what happens when you put God first.


I was in Ilesha, holding a crusade many years ago when my Professor took my PhD thesis to the external examiner. Normally they post it, but he bought a ticket and took it. If you ask all those who got their PhDs back then, they will tell you that it usually takes months for external examiners to invite PhD candidates for an oral examination. While I was busy in Ilesha doing the will of God, my Professor took my thesis to the external examiner and said, "I am not going back until you read this". After the external examiner read it, he said "Go and give the boy his PhD". If you do the will of God first, He will take care of all your needs. When you honour Him and put Him first in all you do, what you will get in return will be a multiplication of what you sacrificed for Him.


KEY POINT:


Always put God first.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

ZEPHANIAH 1-3


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 endless praise,

Let them flow in endless 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.

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Mark 10:48 (KJV)  And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. May the mercy of the LORD speak for you, eliminate whatever reproach wickedness associated with you, turn around your destiny, reverse the irreversible that plagued you, frustrate pretenders on your path in destiny, clean you up, light up your path, give you a new beginning and direction in life in Jesus Christ mighty name.
