Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE : MONDAY 6TH, NOVEMBER 2023.

THEME: WHILE MEN SLEPT III

MEMORISE: 

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 

1 Thessalonians 5:6

READ : 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 (KJV)

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

MESSAGE

Death is likened to sleep in 1 Corinthians 15:51. In other words, a believer who is spiritually asleep is actually in a state of spiritual death.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 tells us clearly that we should stay awake spiritually, be watchful and sober.

Matthew 24:42 says you must stay awake and be watchful, for you do not know what day your Lord is coming.

Romans 13:11 encourages us that the Lord’s coming is nearer now than when we first believed.

Some believers keep going in and out of spiritual sleep. They feel it is normal to be cold and hot. I pity such people because their end is not usually good.

A good example of this is Samson, who slept and woke up a number of times but the last sleep put him into the hands of his enemies.

You may have slept a few times before and woken up again; however, you had better stop because there is always the last time a man would sleep and wake up to find himself being tortured by the enemy.

If you used to love God with all your heart, but recently, other things have been competing with Him in your heart, then you are sleeping.

God is saying to you like He said to the Ephesus Church in Revelations 2:4-5, “Return to your first love”. Ephesians 5:14 says if you awake, Christ will shine on you again.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14

Beloved, get back to your first love now.

Put away those sins that easily beset you.

Go for a retreat, look for fellowships with genuine believers, make a habit of spending quality time daily in prayers and Bible study.

Jesus is ready to shine on you again if you are willing to wake up and get back to Him. He loves you and He is calling you back home.

Don’t let the devil or anyone else hinder you from going back to the One who loves you enough to die for your sins.

When He shines on you, everything the devil stole during your time of slumber shall be restored and you will become a better person at the end of the day.

ACTION POINT

Spiritual sleep is likened to spiritual death. Go back to your first love before it is too late.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

John 11-12

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 3: Ancient Words

1. Holy words long preserved For our walk in this world They resound with God’s own heart Oh, let the ancient words impart

Chorus Ancient words ever true Changing me and changing you We have come with open hearts Oh, let the ancient words impart

2. Words of Life, words of Hope Give us strength, help us cope In this world, where e’er we roam Ancient words will guide us home

3. Holy words of our Faith Handed down to this age Came to us through sacrifice Oh heed the faithful words of Christ

4. Holy words long preserved For our walk in this world They resound with God’s own heart Oh let the ancient words impart

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Isaiah 16:5 (KJV)  And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. May the Lord establish His mercy over our nation, cause to wither every altar of evil judge and bring judgement on whosoever is seeking judgement hàsting righteousness and by the Blood of Jesus defend every victim of wickedness, violence, hate and avarice to the glory of his name, in Jesus mighty name.

TOPIC: WHILE MEN SLEPT II

MEMORISE:

And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

Judges 16:19

READ:

JUDGES 16:19-22

19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

MESSAGE:

The sleeping state of a man is a state when he is unaware of his surroundings and unable to change things around him. The enemies usually exploit this time to do evil. When a person sleeps spiritually, the devil would use that opportunity to steal from the fellow and destroy valuable things in his or her life.

During one of our conventions some years ago, there was a heavy rain and one of my children came to me and said, "Daddy what happened? You were supposed to be on the mountain praying". I said, "I fell asleep; it was the rain that woke me up". At first, when I awoke and saw the rain, I asked God, "Daddy, how could this be?" He replied, "I allowed it to rain because the crowd coming tonight will be much, so I need to cool the place down in readiness for them". While I was asleep, the Devil was hoping the rain would discourage people from coming for the programme however, he did not know that God would make it favour us.

Believe it or not, as long as you are a Christian, the devil will fight you and if he finds you asleep spiritually, he will seek to devour you. If however, you are awake, you can resist him and he will flee from you. That is why we are warned in 1 Peter 5:8 to be vigilant. Stay awake so you can fight the enemy off. In Judges 16:19, it was while Samson was sleeping in the lap of a harlot that his supernatural strength was taken from him. It is important to note that when the devil wants to make a person sleep, he would provide things to please his or her flesh and this closes the person's spiritual eyes. Sometimes, the devil uses money or career opportunities that take people away from their first love. That is why, no matter how good things get, you must always be spiritually alert.

The reason I still go out on prayer walks at night, even at my age, is to avoid sleeping off. Sometimes, you need to get up and go somewhere uncomfortable so you can pray. Don't allow the pleasures of this world drive you away from the presence of your Father in heaven.

KEY POINT:

Spiritual sleep gives the devil an opportunity to fight and defeat a person. Be spiritually alert always.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

JOHN 9-10

AUTHOR:

PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 20

STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Ye soldiers of the Cross;

Lift high His royal banner;

It must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

His army shall He lead

Till ev'ry foe is vanquished

And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

The trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict

In this His glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve Him

Against unnumbered foes;

Let courage rise with danger

And strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

Stand in His strength alone;

The arm of flesh will fail you,

Ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

Each piece put on with prayer;

Where duty calls or danger,

Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus!

The strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle,

The next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

A crown of life shall be;

He with the King of glory

Shall reign eternally.
