Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10TH, 2023.


TOPIC: SALVATION IS PERSONAL


MEMORISE:

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10


READ: EZEKIEL 18:4-20 (KJV)


4  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.


5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,


6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,


7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;


8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,


9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.


10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,


11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,


12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,


13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.


14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,


15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,


16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,


17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.


18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.


19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.


20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.


MESSAGE:

Our relationship with God is strictly on an individual basis, not collective. Your relationship with God is yours alone – between you and Him. Therefore, the word 'I' is applicable in your relationship with God; it is 'I', not 'we'. David said in Psalm 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth". Our relationship with God is personal. Salvation is an individual business.


Let me make it clear: God has no grandchildren. You are either a child of God or not. Our Bible reading for today says if your father is godly and you are ungodly, your father will live and you will die. God has no grandchildren, only children; so if you have not yet given your life to Jesus and you think that because your parents are born again, then you will go to heaven, you are deceiving yourself (Ezekiel 18:20).


Furthermore, after you become born again and get to heaven, the work you put into the Kingdom of God will also be tested individually by fire. In Romans 14:12, the Bible says: "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God". Every one shall give account of himself or herself to God. When it comes to God assessing you, it is going to be an individual business. In (1 Corinthians 3:13), the Bible says: "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is”. Our works will be tried separately, not together.


Remember that where we are going, there is no night there, so there is enough time. The Pastor, General Overseer and everyone else will stand alone with nowhere to hide. Therefore, when someone is discouraging you from doing the work of God now, remember that the fellow will not be there when your work is being tried. When you let someone else's attitude affect your motives and zeal for God's work, don't forget that you will not be able to blame that fellow on the last day because you will be standing alone in front of God to answer for your actions and inactions.


ACTION POINT:

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOHN 20-21


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.

 Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. May the Lord mark you out His heritage shielded from the pestilence of wickedness, sustained by provision from the garden of the LORD, nurtured from the ever flowing river of mercy and goodness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.


Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9TH, 2023.


TOPIC: WHEN GOD COMMENDS YOU


MEMORISE:


The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

Psalm 145:8


READ:

PSALM 8:1-6


1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.


2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.


3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;


4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?


5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.


6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:


MESSAGE:


Every now and then, God commends His children; He tells them that He is pleased with them. When this happens to you, don't become full of yourself because He is only being gracious. The Bible says that God is perfect and He expects perfection (Matthew 5:48). Ephesians 5:25-27 makes it clear that Jesus Christ is coming back for a bride without blemish or wrinkle. Are you perfect yet? If God says, "Well done, my son, you are doing great", He is only being gracious. In Job 1:8, He said Job was a perfect and upright man, but then in Job 30:1, Job said things that a just man shouldn't. When God scored him as just, He was only being gracious to him. In Numbers 12:3, it is written concerning Moses that he was the meekest man on the earth, but he was well known for his violent temper. God's commendation is only an extension of grace. You must never let it get into your head; if you do, you would soon realise that you were nowhere in the first place.


The Bible says clearly in Romans 9:15-16:


For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.


It is not the works and effort you put in that will make you justified. It is true that you must put in the effort; if not, you may not even get a chance at being commended at all, but the effort does not justify you. It is only God's mercy that justifies you. Never forget that. When God commends a person, the fellow's efforts will yield greater results than his or her actions. When you start seeing this happening to you, you must remember that it is only because God decided to have mercy on you. Don't begin to think that you are perfect, because you are not. Rather, thank Him for His mercy. Acknowledge your weakness before Him and even before people. Ascribe all glory to Him and not to your efforts because without Him, you can do nothing (John 15:5).


KEY POINT:


God's commendation is a call to be more humble and to work harder.

HYMN 31

WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE


1. Wonderful story of love!

Tell it to me again;

Wonderful story of love!

Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,

Shepherds with wonder receive it;

Sinner, O won't you believe it?

Wonderful story of love!


REFRAIN:


Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wonderful story,

Wonderful story of love! 


2. Wonderful story of love!

Though you are far away;

Wonderful story of love!

Still He doth call today.

Calling from Calvary's mountain,

Down from the crystal bright fountain,

E'en from the dawn of creation;

Wonderful story of love!


3. Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;

Wonderful story of love!

For all the pure and blest;

Rest in those mansions above us,

With those who've gone on before us,

Singing the rapturous chorus;

Wonderful story of love!
