May the Lord be gracious unto you, hear the voice of your cry in prayer, answer you, grant you total peace and divinely reposition you for greatness in all ramification in Jesus mighty name.


Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY DECEMBER 7TH, 2023.


TOPIC: WHAT ARE YOU KNOWN FOR?


MEMORISE:

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?" 

Matthew 16:13


READ: HEBREWS 11:4-11 (KJV)

4  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.


5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.


6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.


8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.


9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:


10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.


11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.


MESSAGE:

Whether you realise it or not, people are watching you and tagging you with an identity. The tag they give you is dependent on their observations about what you do regularly.


If the people around you are to be honest with you, there is something in particular that they know you for and you need to know what it is because that thing is likely a reflection of who you are. You may not like what they call you, but if everyone agrees that a tag or identity fits you, rather than fight them for tagging you that way, you can just take it as feedback and change your character.


It could be offensive when you can remember your positive attributes, but people seem to only pick out your negative attributes and tag you with it. Don't be offended; God is only using them to sharpen you and make you a better person. Rather than complain, saying, "Can't you see all my positive behaviours?" take the feedback and use it to improve yourself. Don't mind the fact that they are not commenting on the things you thought were good about yourself; you just take whatever negative thing they say and turn it to positive so that you can be a better person.


Now, since people will most likely notice the negative traits of a person before the positives, if you want to be known for the latter, you have to do it so much that it will be impossible for them not to notice it. Improve on your strengths. I have always wanted to be known as the man constantly winning souls for God, so I do that at every opportunity and today, people know that if you give Pastor Adeboye the microphone just to greet the people, he is likely to tell them to give their lives to Christ. I love to praise God and I want people to know me for that, so I am not ashamed to carry my tambourine around with me everywhere I go.


Begin to repeatedly exhibit those good behaviours that you desire people to identify you with. Do it so much that if anybody mentions your name, that is the trait that will come to mind immediately.


The people mentioned in our Bible reading today were known for their faith in God. What are you known for?


ACTION POINT:

Find out what people know you for and if it is not something you are proud of, change your ways.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GALATIANS 4-6


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL:  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.


REFRAIN: 

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 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6TH, 2023.


TOPIC: TAKE NOTES


MEMORISE:

"Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:" 

Isaiah 30:8


READ: JEREMIAH 30:1-2 (KJV)


1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,


2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.


MESSAGE:

There is one thing that many people take for granted and that is the power of taking notes. I see many people who do not take notes while listening to sermons and I wonder if they know what they are missing.


There is a popular saying that the faintest pen is smarter than the sharpest brain. You miss a lot when you don't take notes. My professor of Mathematics who got his PhD in the year 1928, told us that you have to read something ten times to remember it all. If you did not take notes, how will you read it over again in order to remember?


Some messages are not very easy to swallow at the time you are hearing them, but one day, the Holy Spirit may take you back to that note and then open it up to you on a deeper level. It is a matter of even more concern when ministers of the gospel who expect the congregation to be taking notes when they are preaching don't take notes when other ministers are preaching. If you don't have an actual notebook with you, at least you can use a note taking app on your smart phone or tablet. When a sermon is going on, the Holy Spirit is likely to whisper some things into your ears; they could be prophecies or instructions. You need to write those things down so that you don't forget. Also, as the preacher is speaking, to help you practice what is being preached, you may need to write down one or two actions you will take in line with the sermon. You need to also write down aspects of the sermon or passages of the Bible that you would like to conduct deeper study on.


You must understand that these notes are treasures from which you and others coming after you can gain from. At the Open Heavens International Centre, there are some of my old sermon notes from over 30 years ago; they are treasures for many who visit the gallery to draw lessons from.


In Revelation 1:19, God told John to write the things he was seeing down as a treasure for us today to know what is to come in the end time. We also saw similar instances from our memory verse and Bible reading today. Beloved, you should take notes whenever you are listening to or studying the word of God.


KEY POINT:

Make it a habit to always take notes.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GALATIANS 1-3


AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL:  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.


REFRAIN: 

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.
