Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY, MAY 30 2024


TOPIC: THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD


MEMORISE:


All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16


READ:

PROVERBS 15:22


22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.


MESSAGE:


Our Bible reading for today tells us that without counsel, purposes are defeated. In other words, if you plan to do something and you don’t have any advice, you might not be able to achieve it. Proverbs 20:18 says:


Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.


Getting advice or counsel, as the Bible calls it, is very needful. Do not begin any endeavour without getting good advice. Proverbs 24:6 says, “...in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” When you surround yourself with many good advisers, you will be safe and unlikely to make costly mistakes in life.


Note that it is not every piece of advice that you should take. God said in Proverbs 8:14 that counsel and sound wisdom are His. Every counsel you take must ultimately be from God, and as such, you should ensure that every bit of advice you receive aligns with the word of God before you accept them. This is because some clever people might come to you with pieces of advice that sound very good but that are ungodly and misleading. God is the best counsellor. In fact, that is one of the names of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Isaiah 9:6.


For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.


Whenever you get advice from anybody, check for what the word of God says concerning it. If you discover that it is not in agreement with the word of God, then you should know that it is not coming from godly wisdom, and you must reject it. This is why you need to know the word of God yourself so that when somebody gives you a bit of advice, you will be able to differentiate if it aligns with the word of God or not. Be like the Berean Christians; always ensure that you search the Scriptures to confirm everything you hear, irrespective of who says it (Acts 17:10-12).


Seek God’s counsel in everything that you do. Study His word and listen to His advice through the mouth of many wise counsellors who are children of God and who understand His word. This way, you will remain on the right path and will not be led astray.


KEY POINT:


Before acting on any advice, ensure it aligns with the word of God.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOB 17-20


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 28

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH 


1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but Thou art mighty,

Hold me with Thy powerful hand:

Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!

Feed me now and evermore (2ce)


2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow:

Let the fiery cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through:

Strong deliverer! strong deliverer!

Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce)


3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside:

Bear me through the swelling torrent,

Land me safe on Canaan's side:

Songs of praises! songs of praises!

I will ever give to Thee (2ce)


4 Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,

Long to dwell with Thee above;

And to know in full communion,

All the sweetness of Thy love.

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!

Take Thy waiting people home (2ce)

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

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.
