OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 1ST, 2023.

TOPIC: NO MORE BARRENNESS

MEMORISE:

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.

Exodus 23:26

READ:

Psalm 128:1-6

1 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

MESSAGE:

Barrenness can also be described as fruitless efforts. It could take different forms, some of which could include physical, material, academic or ministerial barrenness.

I pray that the Almighty God will put an end to every form of barrenness in your life today, in Jesus' name.

Physical barrenness refers to when a married couple is childless. One of my daughters was told that there was no way she could carry a child because her womb was blocked. At one of our programmes, God spoke through me that there was someone whom the doctor had said couldn't have a child, but that the fellow would have twins. She believed the prophecy and held on to God’s word. To the glory of God, she became pregnant and went abroad to deliver through a caesarean section. To the surprise of the surgeons, she didn't even have a womb. This was about twenty years ago.

Recently, I got a phone call from this daughter of mine, and she said she wanted to bring the twins to me for a visit. I was surprised when she arrived, because she was carrying a new set of twins.

The first set were now in the University and God, in His mercy, gave her another set of twins. God did what only He can do. If He could do it for that daughter of mine and you have been asking Him for a child, He will give you twins also, in Jesus’ name.

Material barrenness refers to when a person works tirelessly with nothing to show for it - like Peter, who fished all night and caught nothing (Luke 5:5).

Thankfully, Peter accepted Jesus into his boat, obeyed the Lord's instruction and got a net breaking catch (Luke 5:1-7).

An example of academic barrenness is when a lecturer works very hard but can not publish papers and as a result, does not get promoted. Such people are referred to as academically barren. Ministerial barrenness can be observed when a pastor prays, fasts and evangelises but his Church does not grow.

Whatever form barrenness might have taken in your life or in the lives of your loved ones, I declare that it shall come to an end today, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT:

Pray with Deuteronomy 28:12 and personalise the declarations in it.

HYMN 25

The Great Physician Now Is Near

1 The great Physician now is near,

The sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.

Refrain:

Sweetest note in seraph song,

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung,

Jesus, blessed Jesus.

2 Your many sins are all forgiven,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

Go on your way in peace to heaven,

And wear a crown with Jesus.

3 All glory to the dying Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Saviour's name,

I love the name of Jesus.

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh, how my soul delights to hear

The charming name of Jesus.

DATE: TUESDAY OCTOBER 31TH, 2023.

TOPIC: JESUS IS LORD: NO CONTROVERSY II

MEMORISE:

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

John 9:25

READ:

JOHN 9:1-11

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

MESSAGE:

Yesterday we discussed how the resurrection of Jesus Christ confirmed His Lordship. This, in essence, establishes that only the One with the power over death can be Lord indeed. Today we shall look at another aspect of Jesus Christ's Lordship - His dominion over all calamities and sicknesses, as seen in Isaiah 61:1. Luke 4:18 also corroborates this:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he bath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. 

When Jesus was confronted face to face with the madman of Gadara, for example, He demonstrated this virtue as the Great Deliverer and Miracle Worker when He cast out the demons that had held the madman captive for years (Luke 8:26-39). Jesus came to preach the gospel to the poor for all-around salvation, and rebuked with authority all who tried to oppose Him. For example, He preached: "Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves" (Matthew 23:15). To this and many of His teachings, it was said: "And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." (Matthew 7:28-29).

Our Lord Jesus Christ was asked to prove His Lordship in John 10:24-25. All He did was to simply refer His 'interviewers' to the work that His Father had been doing through Him. He said: "...the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me." (John 10:25).

As children of God, we must be able to represent Jesus Christ adequately. All you need is to give your life to Jesus and live by His commandments.

I prophesy to you today: you will graduate from being a miracle consumer to a miracle worker, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please empower me to represent You to the whole world.

HYMN 7

I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine, O Lord

I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side. 

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord

By the power of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God

I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 30TH, 2023.

TOPIC: JESUS IS LORD: NO CONTROVERSY 1

MEMORISE:

"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." 

Matthew 28:6

READ: MATTHEW 28:1-6 (KJV)

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

MESSAGE:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ was confirmed and established the day He resurrected from death because no one has ever done that by himself. The Bible says: "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). This was repeated with greater emphasis according to the account of Luke on the Mount of Transfiguration where God, the Father, spoke to the inner caucus who were to spread the news later. The account says:

While he hath spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. - Luke 9:34-35

Even after all these, the world still had not accepted Him as the Lord.

However, from John 8:46 when He boldly questioned, "Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?" up to His death in Matthew 27:54 when the soldiers said to themselves, "...Truly this was the Son of God", the Lordship of Christ was being confirmed and established. In our text for today, we read the account of the resurrection of our Lord:

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. - Matthew 28:5-6

Apostle Paul wrote: "But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain" (1 Corinthians 15:13-14). May the Lord bless you as you exercise your faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that anyone who believes in Jesus will not be condemned however, those who do not believe in Him are condemned already because they did not believe in the name of the only begotten son of God - Jesus Christ (John 3:18).

Which group would you like to belong to?

PRAYER POINT

Father, I believe Jesus is Lord. Please, let His Lordship be made evident in my life.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LUKE 21-22

AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMNAL: 18 - PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF CREATION

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation;

Join the great throng,

Psaltery, organ, and song,

Sounding in glad adoration.

2. Praise to the Lord, over all things he gloriously reigneth:

Borne as on eagle-wings, safely his saints he sustaineth.

Hast thou not seen,

How all thou needest hath been,

Granted in what he ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee;

Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee;

Ponder anew,

What the Almighty can do,

Who with his love doth befriend thee.

4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!

All that hath breath join with Abraham's seed to adore Him!

Let the Amen

Sum all our praises again,

Now as we worship before Him.
