Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY 11TH, MARCH 2024.

THEME: ANOINTED HANDS

MEMORISE: 

Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 

Luke 4:40

READ: Exodus 17:8-13

8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 

9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. 

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 

11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 

12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

MESSAGE

When you see a man of God laying hands on people, and they get healed, it is because those hands have been in contact with the fire of God. Ordinary hands become anointed once they come in contact with the fire of God.

In Exodus 3, when Moses threw his rod on the holy ground, it became a serpent, and the Lord asked him to pick the serpent up by the tail. As Moses bent to pick up the serpent, his own hands also brushed the ground that the fire had touched. From that day on, his hands became special.

In Exodus 17:8-13, we see those hands deciding the outcome of a war between Israel and the Amalekites. Every time he lifted his hands, Israel won, but when his hands got heavy and were going down, the Amalekites began to win. Aaron and Hur were with him, they had four hands combined, but they knew that Moses' hands, which had touched the holy ground, were different from ordinary hands.

 So, rather than lift their own hands, they helped Moses keep his hands up. 

In Exodus 14:16, God said to Moses: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. God had anointed Moses' hands, so He ordered him to stretch them over the Red Sea to divide it. 

So, in Exodus 14:21, when Moses stretched out his hands over the sea, it had no choice but to part into two. 

In Deuteronomy 34:9, those hands also transmitted wisdom into Joshua. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him and did as the LORD commanded Moses. The power of God turns the ordinary into extraordinary. If you read John 9:1-7, where Jesus saw a man who was born blind, He spat on the ground, made some mud out of it, and anointed the blind man's eyes. Ordinary mud can become anointed mud; it all depends on whose hands the mud is in. Your hands can also become anointed today, but first, they must be holy hands.

Psalm 24:3-4 says that only those who have holy hands can ascend into the hill of the Lord where they can come in contact with the fire of God.

REFLECTION

Do you have holy hands? The fire of God can only rest on holy hands.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 23-24

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 10TH, 2024.

THEME: WHEN FIRE FALLS

MEMORISE: 

And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.   

Leviticus 10:2

READ: Leviticus 10:1-5 

1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

MESSAGE

When you are in a service, and everyone is praying that fire should fall, you must beware, because when the fire of God falls, some people die, and some others rejoice. When the fire of God falls, those who do not belong to Him are consumed, while those who belong to Him are empowered.

In Daniel 3:19-30, when they threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fire, their yokes were destroyed  by the fire, they walked out of the fire into promotion, but those who were not on the side of the Lord that go close to that fire were consumed.

Some years ago, as I was preaching during a service, the fire of God fell. While people were getting their healings, a woman ran out of the service. From outside the hall, she beckoned on the fellow she came with to bring her bag so that she could go home. Surprised, the fellow asked her why she couldn't come in to get her bag herself, and she said that there was fire in the place, and she couldn't come in for fear of being burnt. When the fire of God comes down, while it brings healings and promotions to God's children, it can destroy those who are not on the Lord's side. So, before you join those who are asking for fire to fall, if you are not already on God's side, please cross over.

I should also note that sometimes, the fire of God comes down unexpectedly in the middle of a service. Even the preacher may be unaware that God is about to rain down fire. When the fire falls, only those who are on Christ's side will be safe. The reason I chose the passage in our Bible reading for today is that I want to speak particularly to those who are workers in the church and who are still dipping their hands into sin. Surrender your lie completely to the Lord Jesus Christ because if you are standing by when the fire begins to fall, and you are not on the Lord's side, the result might not be very pleasant.

God usually gives room for repentance, but that is until His fire falls. The day the fire falls is the day of consequences - there is no repentance after that. Many are nursing diseases and other terrible issues because when the fire of God fell, they were not on His side.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please forgive me of every sin I have committed against You. Please help me to be on Your side at all times, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 21-22

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.
