Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 22ND, 2023 


THEME: GOD'S BANKING SYSTEM


MEMORISE: 

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 

Matthew 19:29


READ: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8  

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.


7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.


8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:


MESSAGE:

God's banking system is a unique one. It is not like the banks we have in the world, where you have to deposit money before you can withdraw. The banking system of the world deducts interests and fees such that you would only be able to withdraw less than the amount you deposited. In God's banking system, all you need is a relationship with Him - the Owner and you can get permission to withdraw from His bank. For some, He could give as much as they can carry per time, while for yet another set, He would just let them withdraw what they need per time. I don't know about you, but l want Him to give me unlimited access to withdraw from His bank.


In 1 Kings 17:8-16, there is the case of a widow who gave her last meal to the prophet of God and from that day on, for over three years, there was abundant supply of food in her house every single day. That was unlimited withdrawal. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, there was another widow who was in serious need. The Lord granted her access to withdraw oil from His bank and as soon as she had filled all the vessels she had, the supply of oil stopped. That was withdrawal according to her capacity. In Matthew 17:24-27, when some people asked Peter for Jesus' tax, the Lord told Peter to go fishing and pick money for their taxes from the mouth of the first fish he would catch. That was a case withdrawal according to the need at hand.


My Father-in- the-Lord- PA Josiah Akindayomi, the founder of Redeemed Christian  Church of God told how, one day, he cried to God for provision of food and the Lord said, "Tell your wife that from that pot of soup, she should go on dishing every day, but she must not look inside". He told his wife what the Lord had said and from that day, there was unlimited supply of all kinds of soup from the pot, until the day she was overcome by curiosity. She looked into the pot and found it empty. His was also withdrawal according to the need at hand.


Beloved, to be able to make withdrawals from God's bank, you must first and foremost establish a relationship with Him by accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior.


KEY POINT

If you want God's unlimited resources, you should be ready to give Him your limited resources.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Peter 1-5, 2 Peter 1-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS 


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


 Refrain

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing—

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.


3 There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.


4 There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!


5 There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: THURSDAY DECEMBER 21ST, 2023.


THEME: YOU CAN'T BOX GOD IN ll


MEMORISE: 

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 

Ephesians 3:20


READ: Isaiah 55:8-9  

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.


9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.


MESSAGE:

Some people think they have God all figured out. They think they know all that there is to know about Him and how He does His things. After several encounters with God, a lot of sufferings for His work and even episodes of being stoned and left for  dead while preaching the gospel, Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:10. "That l may know him, and the power of his ressurrection, and the fellowship of his suffer, being made conformable unto his death.


When you go for a service, how much you get from it can be limited by your expectations. If you expect that Pastor will mention your own particular case and he doesn't, that is not proof that God has not answered prayer. God can decide to work loudly or quietly; all He request from you is faith, not an analysis of how He will work. He expects us to walk by faith and not by sight (Corinthians 5:7).


There was a testimony of a lady who was  born with so many abnormalities- including having one lung  instead of two, and her heart being on the right side of her chest instead of left. As such, she struggles with her health from the day she was born. Finally, somebody recommended a hospital in Dubai, but she decided to go to the Holy Ghost Service first but nothing special appeared to happen in relation to her case during the service. Afterwards, she went on to Dubai as she had planned. When she got there, the doctors examined her and had to ask what she actually came in for, because they could not see anything wrong with her. She thought the people there didn't know what they were saying so she went to another Hospital in Dubai. They also examined her and said there was nothing wrong with her. The Doctors could not believe that she was the same they had read her case note from Nigeria because they could see her heart on the left and she had two lungs, not one. If she had assumed that, because l had not mentioned her case at that Holy Ghost Service, then God was not interested in her, she might have missed her miracle.


PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me not to live by sight, but by faith in You, in Jesus name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: James 1-5


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 16: PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM, OUR BLESSED REDEEMER


1 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!

Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!

Strength and honor give to his holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.

In his arms he carries them all day long.


Refrain:

Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.

Praise him! Praise him! ever in  joyful song.


2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.

He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.

Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,

love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong. 


3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!

Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!

Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious.

Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 20TH, 2023.


THEME: YOU CAN'T BOX GOD IN l


MEMORISE: 

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 

Romans 11:33


READ: Romans 11:33-36  

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!


34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?


35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?


36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.


MESSAGE

If you understand the way God works, you would have discovered that He usually does things differently from time to time. Even when He does the same thing twice, He could use a new method to do it. For example, in 2 Kings 5:1-14, He asked Naaman to go and wash in river Jordan and after he obeyed, his leprosy was cured. In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus cleansed ten leper, by simply saying "Go and check yourselves with the Priest".


If you think you know how God will do something and you focus your faith and attention in that direction alone, your miracle may pass you by. That is why you have to go to Him without preconceived ideas. His ways are far higher than your ways (Isaiah 55: 8-9). I do know that He may not do it exactly as you have imagined it. Just listen to Him and let Him guide you.


God may not do that thing you are asking Him for instantly as you may expect. He may choose to do it gradually. He may also not do it gradually and decided to do it instantly. All you need to be assured of is that He will do it and whichever method He chooses to apply will be the best method to get it done.


Don't try to box God in. Don't assume that He will give you your miracle the same way He gave it to that fellow who testified in your Church. Don't imagine the entire process in your head and then lose your miracle when things don't go as imagined, like Naaman almost lost his. If you know the process to getting miracle, why disturb God anyway?


If you know that you cannot do it yourself, leave the One who can do it to determine how it should be done.


Don't box God in. I pray He will surprise you pleasantly, even before to this year ends, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT

Don't try to box God in; He works in mysterious ways.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hebrews 11-13


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME

1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all!


2 O seed of Israel's chosen race

now ransomed from the fall,

hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all.

Hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all!


3 Let every tongue and every tribe

responsive to his call,

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all.

To him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all!


4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng

we at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.
