LETS PRAY 🙏

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. May the Lord who gives life accept our Thanksgiving for counting us worthy to be alive and to see the new Year in Jesus mighty name.


Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SATURDAY JANUARY 6TH, 2024.


THEME: NEW YEAR RESOLUTION V


MEMORISE: 

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Psalm 118:8



READ: Jeremiah 17:5-8  

5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.


6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.


7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.


8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.


MESSAGE:

My fifth resolution is that this year, l am going to be very deliberate about putting all my trust in God, and none in man. I will do so because God said, "Vain is the help of man" (Psalm

60:11). You may have discovered that several of the people you thought will help you have let you down, but there is a God who never fails, and He will not fail you this year.


I went to my village in the 1980s after I had just become the General Overseer of the RCCG, and someone said to me, "Now that you are the General Overseer, you will need a befitting house to host dignitaries that may have cause to visit you here,

especially when you have one ceremony or the other". I agreed with him, and he said he would help me to build the house. He told me that he produces blocks, so he will supply me with all the blocks I will need to build the house, and l can pay him for them

whenever I can afford to. I believed God was behind it all, and I was very happy.


Beloved, when somebody offers you help, check first with God to be sure it's from Him. I built the house, and the very day I roofed it, he asked me to pay for all the blocks he had supplied. I was shocked. This man

had said that I could pay anytime I had the money. I had just roofed the house and hadn't even put doors or windows! Deep within me, I was sorrowful. I said to God, "Lord, you know l have never done anything that I cannot handle; it was this man who lured me into this. Please have mercy on me, don't let me be put to shame." I prayed all night and fell asleep at my desk. When I woke up, there was a man standing at my doorstep. He said he came all the way from the north, and that God told him to give me an envelope. I collected the envelope, prayed for him, and he left. After he left, I opened the envelope; it was the exact amount that I was owing!


There is a God who is the ever-present help in times of

trouble. This year, He is ready to help you, but you must put all your trust in Him.


REFLECTION

When you have a problem, who do you ask for help, God or man? Your answer shows whom you trust more.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 21-23


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 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 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey.


3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 


4 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.

DATE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 5TH, 2024.


THEME: NEW YEAR RESOLUTION IV


MEMORISE: 

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running Over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Luke 6:38


READ: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15  

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:


9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.


10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)


11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.


12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;


13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection into the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 


14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.


15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.


MESSAGE:

As a young farmer's boy, I noticed that my father sets aside the best crops for planting because the quality and quantity of the seed planted is a major determinant of the quality and quantity of the harvest. The word of God is clear about this. If you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly, and if you sow bountifully, you will reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6).


This year, like never before, I am going to give because I know that when I give, there will be a harvest. I will give cheerfully because God loves a cheerful giver (2Corinthians 9:7), and I need His favour. If you are expecting a big harvest this year, make up your mind to sow bountifully.


I remember a time when we were preparing for our annual convention, and I needed N17,000 to install roofing sheets on the first auditorium we erected in Redemption City. I had only N1,000 and was praying to God for the remaining N16,000 when one of my pastors came into my office to ask for N1,000. He needed the

money to roof the shed he was building to accommodate

members under his jurisdiction during the convention. I told him I also needed money and sent him out of my office. As he was leaving, God spoke to me and said, "Call him back and give him that N1,000." I grumbled because it was difficult, but I obeyed all the same. After the pastor had left joyfully with my N1,000 in his pocket, God said, "Son, why are you grumbling? There were two problems; I used you to solve one. The one you cannot solve, leave it to me." Some hours later, someone came all the way from Port Harcourt and said. "Sir, I have just collected rent from

my tenants, and the Almighty God said I should bring it to

you." He gave me an envelope, and I blessed him. When I opened the envelope, it contained N17,000!


This year, I will increase my giving towards the work of God and win souls into His kingdom more than ever before. It is written that as long as this world continues to exist, seedtime and harvest shall never cease (Genesis 8:22). Why don't you make up your mind like me to also sow towards the work of God more than ever before this year. 


God never fails on His promises. He who sows bountifully

will also reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6).


ACTION POINT

Practice this resolution now. Look for a need in the church and sow towards it.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 18-20


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.
