Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

DATE: TUESDAY OCTOBER 17TH, 2023.

TOPIC: ARE YOU A FRESH OR STALE CHRISTAIN? 1

MEMORISE:

"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." - (Matthew 18:3)

READ: MATTHEW 18:1-6 (KJV)

1  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

MESSAGE:

When there is an evangelistic outreach, the most beautiful part of the Scripture is usually preached so that unbelievers in attendance can be won for Jesus. The preacher would typically tell the congregation that when they come to Jesus Christ, they would find healing, deliverance, freedom, promotion and so on, and indeed, all these are true. Once they give their lives to Christ, they become fresh Christians. Fresh Christians are however, required to remain fresh at all times, just as we see in our Bible reading today. Yes, new converts are baby Christians who should grow into spiritual maturity, but they must never lose their freshness in Christ as they constantly renew their minds (Romans 12:2).

There are many distinct characteristics of fresh Christians. The very first thing is an insatiable hunger to know the word of God (1 Peter 2:2). People who just genuinely gave their lives to Christ don't go late for fellowship. They even usually sit in front where there would be no distractions because they just have this strong desire for the word of God. Unfortunately, you see many people who have been born again for a long time forgetting this desire they once had. When you mature, you are supposed to advance to strong meat, but many fail to do this and rather become stale though they usually claim they have become mature. A Christian becomes stale when he or she stops feeding on the word of God daily.

Beloved, if you no longer spend quality time studying your Bible daily, you are becoming a stale Christian. Unless that hunger returns and you begin to feed on the word of God daily again, you are a dying Christian.

Another distinct characteristic of fresh Christians is that they cannot stop talking about Jesus. They are not ashamed of Christ at all. A Christian who has become stale however, will see himself or herself as too big to preach the gospel to everyone, forgetting Jesus' command in Mark 16:15 and His warning in Matthew 10:33.

Freshness or staleness in Christ is not determined by how long you have been born again, but by your attitude towards the things of God.

REFLECTION:

When was the last time you won a soul for Christ?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MARK 10-11

HYMNAL:  12 - ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

1. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before!

Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe;

Forward into battle, see His banner go!

REFRAIN: 

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before! 

2. At the name of Jesus, Satan's host doth flee;

On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!

Hell's foundations quiver, at the shout of praise:

Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthem raise!

3. Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading, where the saints have trod;

We are not divided, all one body we,

One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

4. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdom's rise and wane;

But the Church of Jesus, constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never 'gainst that church prevail;

We have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.

5. Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng;

Blend with ours your voices, in the triumph song:

Glory, praise and honour, unto Christ the King;

This, through countless ages, men and angels sing.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 16TH, 2023.

TOPIC: REAL GRACE

MEMORISE:

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:14

READ:

TITUS 2:11-12

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

MESSAGE:

There are many preachers today who say that once a person is saved, he or she is forever saved, so the fellow would go to heaven even if he or she keeps committing sin. That is a big lie. My own Bible says clearly in Romans 6:15: "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." 

Real grace enables you to live holy rather than permit you to commit sin. What the grace of God does is give you the ability to live above the dictates of your flesh. It is by grace that you are saved (Ephesians 2:4-5). After that, the grace of God that brought you salvation will then teach you to live holy. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world". This is the true work of grace that the Bible talks about.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

2 Timothy 1:9

Please ignore anyone who tells you that the grace of God allows you to commit sin. That is a message from the devil, carefully put together to send many people to hell. The devil knows that no sinner will enter into heaven, so he carefully crafted this message for Christians to ensure that they continue to sin even after responding to the altar call, but he will fail over you, in Jesus' name.

I have had big men of God argue with me over this subject and each time, I tell them, "Let us assume that you are correct, and once I have given my life to Christ before, heaven is sure even if I keep committing sin. That means if rapture takes place or we both die, we will both go to heaven. But if you are wrong, that means if rapture takes place now or we both die, I will go to heaven, and you will go to hell. Either way, I am still correct. I would rather choose the safe path". What about you?

KEY POINT:

Grace is the enablement to live above sin, not permission to commit it.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

MARK 8-9

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 8

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee every hour

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

Chorus:

I need Thee, O I need Thee;

Ev'ry hour I need Thee

O bless me now, my Saviour,

I come to Thee! 

2. I need Thee every hour

Stay Thou nearby

Temptations lose their power

When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide

Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour

Teach me Thy will

And thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

5. I need Thee every hour

Most Holy one;

Oh, make me Thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son!
