Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: WEDNESDAY MAY 29, 2024.


TOPIC: DISCOVERING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE


MEMORISE:

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

1 Peter 2:9


READ:

EPHESIANS 2:8-10

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:


9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


MESSAGE:

God has a purpose for everything He does. In Exodus 8:1, He said to Moses, “...Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.” God’s reason for delivering the Israelites from bondage was so that they could serve and worship Him. Likewise, your salvation comes with a purpose, as the passage in today’s Bible reading reveals.


In Mark 1:40-45, a leper came to Jesus and said, “I know that You can make me clean if You are willing.” Jesus answered, “I am willing.” With one touch, the leper was cleansed, and he went everywhere testifying. God heals so that there can be testimonies. Also, anytime He sets captives free, it is for a purpose. In Mark 5:2-20, the madman of Gadara was delivered and was ready to follow Jesus everywhere, but Christ said No! He had been delivered for a purpose - to be a witness.


God also sets free for His name to be praised. In Mark 3:1-5, the man with the withered hand received his healing because Psalm 47:1 says, “O clap your hands, all ye people...”. A withered hand cannot be used to clap for God, so his hand was restored.


What is the purpose of a miracle? The Bible says in Acts 3:1-11 that when the lame man at the Beautiful Gate received his miracle, he started walking, leaping, and praising God. When you receive a miracle, it is so that you can begin to praise God. Also, miracles lead to the salvation of souls. In Acts 4:4, we see that Peter’s speech after healing the lame man led to five thousand people being saved! God does miracles to draw people to Himself.


In Luke 5:1-11, when Jesus stepped into Peter’s boat after he had laboured all night and caught nothing, he received a huge miracle that frightened him. The Lord said, “From now, you will no longer catch fish but men.” Peter got a breakthrough that drew him to serve God because the Bible says that he forsook all and followed Him.


You should ask yourself, “Why has God delivered me from darkness and kept me healthy? Why did He save my soul?” He did all these for a purpose. Have you discovered that purpose? Don’t just thank God for healing, salvation, deliverance, and provision; remember that He did everything for a purpose. You must continually seek to discover His purpose for your life and fulfil it.


PRAYER POINT:

Lord, help me to discover Your purpose for my life and give me the grace to fulfil it.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOB 13-16


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.

THEME: HE IS IN THE BOAT


MEMORISE: 

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  

Matthew 28:20


READ: Mark 4:35-41

35  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.


36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.


37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.


38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?


39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.


40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?


41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?



MESSAGE

A person's strength of character is best revealed in the midst of adversity (Proverbs 24:10). You will be surprised at the level of unbelief demonstrated by many who claim to be children of God when they are faced with adverse situations. At such times, fear makes many lose their hold of God's infallible word; this is what happened to the disciples in today's Bible reading. They were so afraid of the great storm threatening their lives even though Jesus was right there in the boat with them. At that moment, they forgot all the great deeds they had seen Him do and all the powerful things they had heard Him teach. Think about yourself, how do you react when you are in trouble like the disciples? Do you blame God, or do you act as if He is not even there with you at all? You must always remember that Jesus Christ is with you in the boat of life. Not only is He with you, but He can also feel the turbulence of the boat and will come to your aid once you call on Him. Hebrews 2:18 says of Him:


For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.


He personally promised to be with you always, even to the end of the world (Matthew 28:19-20). How comforting! In addition to this promise, He also said to you in Isaiah 43:1-2:


Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shalI the flame kindle upon thee.


I must, however, point out that only the redeemed of the Lord can lay claim to His promises in this Scripture. Have you been transformed by the redeeming work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary? Do you have the assurance of salvation in your heart? If you are genuinely saved, I congratulate you. Nevertheless, our Lord wants you to demonstrate faith in Him by trusting Him in the midst of adversity. It is impossible to please God without having faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6). I, therefore, encourage you with these words of the Master in Mark 11:22 that says:


...Have faith in God.



PRAYER POINT

Father, help my faith to stand in the midst of adversity.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 9-12



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.

THEME: PRAYERS FOR CHILDREN



MEMORISE: And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.  Isaiah 54:13



READ: Isaiah 44:2-6 

2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.


3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:


4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.


5 One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.


6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.



1. Father, thank you for the gift of children. Thank you, Lord, for all the children around me; thank you for their lives,

health and sound mind.


2. Father, I ask for mighty testimonies over all the children I come in contact with. Let me always have reasons to rejoice over them.


3. Father, please build a wall of fire around all the children in my family, church, and community. Make them untouchable to the devil and his agents, in Jesus' name.


4. Father, please surround the children around me with the right people. Do not allow them to be influenced wrongly, in Jesus' name.


5. Father, pour out Your Spirit on all the children around me. Let them blossom and flourish in your goodness and grace, in Jesus' name.


6. Father, please provide the parents around me with the resources that they need to take care of their children. For the children without parents, Lord, You are the Father of the fatherless; please send help to them.


7. Father, as we celebrate Children's Day across the world today, please remember those who are looking up to You for children of their own and grant them answers to their prayers, in Jesus' name.


8. Father, give all the children in my family, church, community, and the nation as a whole, hearts that yearn for You. Let them grow up pleasing You and doing Your will at all times, in Jesus' name.


9. Father, please give all the children that are connected to me in one way or the other good success in their academics. Give them the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to excel, in Jesus' name.


10. Father, please let Your supernatural guidance abide with every child in my family, church, and community. Guide them in every area and at every stage of their lives so that they don't make costly mistakes, in Jesus' name.


11. Father, please break any generational curses that might exist in the lineage of all the children around me. Please raise a standard against every evil plan of the enemy concerning them, in Jesus' name.


12. Your personal prayer points for all the children around you.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 5-8



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE



HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER


1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 


that calls me from a world of care, 


and bids me at my Father's throne 


make all my wants and wishes known. 


In seasons of distress and grief, 


my soul has often found relief, 


and oft escaped the tempter's snare 


by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 



2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 


the joys I feel, the bliss I share 


of those whose anxious spirits burn 


with strong desires for thy return! 


With such I hasten to the place 


where God my Savior shows his face, 


and gladly take my station there, 


and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 



3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 


thy wings shall my petition bear 


to him whose truth and faithfulness 


engage the waiting soul to bless. 


And since he bids me seek his face, 


believe his word, and trust his grace, 


I'll cast on him my every care, 


and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

THEME: HE IS A REWARDER



MEMORISE: 

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.

Hebrews 11:6



READ: Matthew 10:40-42 

40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.


41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.


42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.



MESSAGE

Peter's encounter with Jesus at the Lake of Gennesaret, is a pointer to the fact that our Lord is indeed a generous rewarder (Luke 5:1-7). He allowed the Lord to use his boat as a pulpit and was rewarded with such a great catch of fish that his boat began to sink; he had to call additional hands to help him manage his breakthrough.


There are many areas of service that attract God's generous rewards. One of such is partnering with God to advance the agenda of heaven; this was what happened in Peter's case. Another act that brings heavenly rewards is obedience to the Lord's instructions. You can see this in the story of Abraham, who obeyed God when he was instructed to get out of his father's house to a place God would show him (Genesis 12:1-4). He obeyed, even though he did not know where he was going. As if that wasn't enough, when he was eventually blessed with Isaac, the child of promise, he was asked to sacrifice him as a burnt offering, and again, he obeyed. As a result of his obedience, God rewarded him with an everlasting covenant of blessing and multiplication (Genesis 22:15- 17).


Another area of service that receives God's attention for generous rewards is hospitality. An example is the story of the Shunammite woman who was so generous to Prophet Elisha that the Lord rewarded her with a son - a gift money could not buy (2 Kings 4:8-17). The story of the widow of Zarephath is another example of how God rewards hospitality (1 Kings 17:9-16). She sacrificed her last meal and that brought about meals that sustained her family throughout a famine. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:2:


Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.


God also rewards people who host His presence in their homes. According to 2 Samuel 6:11-14, God blessed Obed-Edom so much for housing the ark of the covenant that he became the envy of the king. This is a great lesson to those who are reluctant to submit their homes as house Fellowship meeting centers. Such people don't know the blessing they are missing out on by denying God the use of their space.


Beloved, as today's memory verse declares, our God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek, serve, obey, and honor Him. Use this to your advantage today.



KEY POINT

God never overlooks anything you do for Him. He will always reward you.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 1-4



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.
