Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 7TH, 2024.

THEME: WHOSE CHILD ARE YOU?

MEMORISE: 

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

Matthew 7:20

READ: Matthew 7:16-20 

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

MESSAGE:

John 1:12 says: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

If you have received Christ into your heart and you believe in His name, not just in word, but in deeds such that everyone around you can see from your lifestyle that you are a believer in Christ, then you qualify to be called a child of God.

On the other hand, the Bible says that the devil has his own children too. Jesus Christ was addressing the Pharisees and He said to them in John 8:44:

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The question then is, how do we tell a child of God apart from a child of the devil? The Bible answers this question aptly. For example, the Bible says that people who love the world do not have the love of God in them (1 John 2:15- 16). This clearly implies that such people cannot be described as God's children. When you see someone who loves material things more than God, that fellow does not have the love of God in him and hence cannot be His child if he or she remains in that state.

A child of God on the other hand is one who is born of the Spirit and focuses on spiritual things rather than worldly things. John 3:3-7 says that anyone who wants to enter into the kingdom of God must be born of the Spirit, and of course, only the children of God can enter into His kingdom. This is why you must be born again.

Beloved, when you are born again, you are born of the Spirit, and you truly become a child of God. When you are born of the Spirit, you will begin to live by the e Spirit and be led by Him. You will begin to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23. Remember, it is the kind of fruit you produce that will determine who is your father truly.

REFLECTION

Check your character, whose does it mirror, that of the Holy Spirit or that of the devil?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 1-2

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 13: JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

1 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

for the Bible tells me so. 

Little ones to him belong; 

they are weak, but he is strong. 

Refrain: 

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! 

Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. 

2 Jesus loves me he who died 

heaven's gate to open wide. 

He will wash away my sin, 

let his little child come in.

3 Jesus loves me, this I know, 

as he loved so long ago, 

taking children on his knee, 

saying, "Let them come to me."

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 6TH, 2024.

THEME: REVIVAL IS HERE

MEMORISE: 

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?  

Psalm 85:6

READ: Joel 2:28-32 

28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

MESSAGE:

Revival is here and only those who are prepared will be a part of it. God is doing a new thing, and He wants to use willing vessels, not just pastors and men of God, but also ordinary people that are filled with the Holy Ghost. If you have not yet been baptized in the Holy Ghost, you better ask Him for the baptism. A big revival is here, and He doesn't want to use the pastors alone; he wants to use all His willing and available children. The question, however, is, are you fit for the Master's use?

There are two major things you need to be fit for the Master's use in this revival. They are stated in 2 Timothy 2:21:

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

The first thing you must do is purge yourself of any iniquity - you must be sanctified. Sanctification comes through constant study and dependence on the word of God. (John 17:17).

Secondly, you must be prepared to work. God cannot use you if you are lazy, He only uses people that are prepared to work hard. Proverbs 18:9 says:

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

God describes the lazy man as being just the same as a waster. God won't waste His anointing on you if you are lazy. When He gives you the anointing, it is not the time to relax but the time to work even harder.

Beloved, it takes hard work to become a champion, but it takes even harder work to remain one. When you are struggling to become a champion, you stretch yourself and train vigorously. Once you become one, you will suddenly realize that from that moment, everybody starts coming after your crown to take it from you. Clearly, it is better not to have become a champion than to be an ex-champion while still at one's prime. The pain of the ex-champion is not the bruises on his body, it is the shame of walking in the Streets and seeing those that had been hailing him as a Champion suddenly turn their faces away from him.

PRAYER POINT

Father, when You are looking for people to use for Your glory, please don't leave me out.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Leviticus 26-27

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.
