Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 9TH, 2023.


TOPIC: THE WAY FORWARD


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:

LUKE 5:1-7


1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,


2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.


3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.


4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.


5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.


6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.


7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.


MESSAGE:


Jesus is the Way forward. In Luke 5:1-7, Peter had fished all night but caught nothing. He wasn't lazy, but he was still considered a failure. When Jesus stepped into his boat however, all of a sudden, there was a way forward. Just like Peter, many people find themselves going around in circles. When Jesus steps into your boat, your forward motion would become accelerated.


One of my sons came to me and said, "Daddy, I've been on one spot for more than 12 years. I have applied to an organisation now and have been scheduled for an interview, so I need prayers to succeed". I was about to pray for him when he said, "No, don't pray, just say a word", so I said, "Go, and the interview will go well." He said amen and left. He returned the following day excited. "Daddy, I prepared for that interview like no man's business. When I got there, they only asked me three questions, 'What is your name? What position did you apply for? When can you start?' I told them I would start tomorrow". I congratulated him and he said, "No, speak another word" and I did. The following day, he came again, trembling, "Daddy, I got to my new place of work and was told that their Managing Director just resigned; they then asked me to become the new Managing Director". Again he asked me to speak another word, so I did. The following day, he was back. This time, he was almost speechless. "Daddy, they discovered that their Managing Director resigned because their competitor offered him double the salary they were paying, and since they don't want me to leave, they doubled my salary". I congratulated him again, and he said, "No, speak another word". This time, I said jokingly, "Do you want to take the company over from the owners?"


When I was a lecturer in the University, I had a driver, but then, somehow, by the middle of the month, I would have become so broke that I would be borrowing money to fuel the car from this same driver whose salary I was paying. I was being relatively well paid but somehow, I wasn't moving forward in life. I then met Christ and everything turned around - not because of any brilliance on my part, but rather simply because I gave my life to Christ and began to live holy. This can be your story too, if you do the same.


KEY POINT:


With Jesus in your boat, success is guaranteed.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

MATTHEW 21-22


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 30

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD


1. When we walk with the Lord

In the light of His word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will

He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.


Refrain:


Trust and obey, for there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. 


2. But we never can prove

The delights of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay;

For the favour He shows,

And the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.


3. Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet,

Or we'll walk by His side in the way;

What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.

THEME: THE WAY OUT


MEMORISE: 

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 

Exodus 6:6 


READ: Luke 7:11 -15


11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.


12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.


13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.


14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.


15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.


MESSAGE


Jesus being The Way also, implies He is The Way out of problems. There are problems in this world that you cannot solve no matter how intelligent you are, but there is no problem that Jesus cannot solve. Jesus Christ is the way out of sorrow.


In our Bible text for today, we read of a widow whose only son died. Nobody needs to tell us that she was in sorrow. She had known days of joy. The day she gave birth to this boy, she must have had joy, but then the Devil, came in and steadily began to change her joy to sorrow, first by killing her husband and then coming for her only son. I can assure you that as they were going towards the burial ground, she was getting deeper and deeper into sorrow because she knew that there were people amongst those following her, pretending to be weeping with her and saying in their hearts, "Why is your case so bad? Are you the only one in town? There must be something you have done wrong that God is punishing you for", but then she met Jesus Christ and the tide turned. For the mere fact that you are reading this today, sorrow is banished from your life forever, in Jesus' name.


I was invited to preach at a private event in Ikoyi some years ago. I was going to preach on the topic, 'You need a miracle', but as l waited in the hostess' living room before the event started and observed the splendour of the house, l thought to change my topic to 'O That Man Should Prise The Lord'. I f let the hostess and her guests appeared to have everything they needed already, but the Almighty God said l should talk to them about "You need a miracle". I learnt later on that the woman had only one son who had gone so deeply into drugs that when his mother refused to give him extra money to buy them, he planted some in her bag when she was travelling to London so that she could be arrested at the airport. Everything seemed nice and beautiful on the outside, but deep inside, there was sorrow.


That day as l preached, the young man gave his life to Jesus, and the mother from that day on knew joy. If you too want to have joy for the rest of your life, the only way is through Jesus Christ. let Him carry your burdens (Matthew 11:28).


KEY POINT


Jesus gives rest to the burdened heart, but you would have to surrender to Him first.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew18-20


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE


1 In Christ alone my hope is found 


He is my light, my strength, my song 


This cornerstone, this solid ground 


Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 


What heights of love, what depths of peace 


When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 


My comforter, my all in all 


Here in the love of Christ I stand  


2 In Christ alone who took on flesh 


Fullness of God in helpless babe 


This gift of love and righteousness 


Scorned by the ones He came to save 


Till on that cross as Jesus died 


The wrath of God was satisfied 


For every sin on Him was laid 


Here in the death of Christ I live  


There in the ground His body lay 


3 Light of the world by darkness slain 


Then bursting forth in glorious day 


Up from the grave He rose again 


And as He stands in victory 


Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 


For I am His and He is mine 


Bought with the precious blood of Christ  


4 No guilt in life, no fear in death 


This is the power of Christ in me 


 life's first cry to final breath 


Jesus commands my destiny 


No power of hell, no scheme of man 


Can ever pluck me from His hand 


Till He returns or calls me home 


Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Friday, October 6, 2023

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Psalms 91:7 (KJV)  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. May God shield you from the gathering of the forces of darkness and nullify the plans of wickedness against you and your concerns in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

TOPIC: THE WAY


MEMORISE:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

John 14:6


READ: John 8:32-36 (KJV)


32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?


34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.


35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.


36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.


MESSAGE:

Someone may want to ask the Lord Jesus Christ, "Everybody calls You one name or the other; some say teacher, some say prophet. What would You love to be called?" In today's memory verse, He said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". These are three mighty names, but for the next few days, we will be looking at Jesus as 'The Way'.


Today, we will consider Jesus as the way to freedom. John 8:32 says: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 


In John 8:36, the Bible says, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." When we talk about freedom, there are some people who think they are free but are not. Many influential people have problems that money cannot solve - problems completely beyond the power of science. However, there is no problem beyond the power of Jesus Christ. He is the way to freedom. There was a man in Mark 5:1-15 who was controlled by a legion of demons. Just one word from The Way, and all the demons left him.


There was a woman who had this peculiar condition that caused electrical currents to pass through her whenever any electronic appliance around her was switched on. If you switched on the electric iron, she would become hot while the iron remained cold. If you switched on the fan, the woman would start rotating. Once, when she wanted to go to the hospital in a van, as soon as the driver started the engine, the current flowed from the battery, picked her up and threw her out of the vehicle. Due to this strange condition, electricity supply had to be cut off from her house.


I went to see this woman and told her I knew someone who could set her free. She immediately gave her life to Jesus, we prayed a simple prayer and when we turned on the fan, it rotated without affecting her in any way. She was set free by The Way.


The only way to obtain freedom is by surrendering your life completely to The Way.


KEY POINT:

Jesus is the only way to true freedom.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MATTHEW 14-17


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL: 30 - WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD


1. When we walk with the Lord,

In the light of His word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will

He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.


REFRAIN: 

Trust and obey!

For there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

But to trust and obey. 


2. But we never can prove

The delights of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay,

For the favour He shows,

And the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.


3. Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet,

Or we'll walk by His side in the way,

What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.
