Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: MONDAY AUGUST 12TH 2024


THEME: BLESSED BEYOND CURSES


MEMORISE: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:     Ephesians 1:3


READ: Numbers 23:5-8 

5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.


6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.


7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.


8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?



MESSAGE

How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shallI defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?  Numbers 23:8


The Scripture above tells us that it is impossible to curse people that have been blessed by God. Such persons can never be affected by curses that are pronounced on them. No matter how hard he tries, there is absolutely nothing the devil can do to curse the fellow that God has blessed. Romans 8:31says:


What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?


God is Almighty; if He is on your side, there is no force on the earth, underneath the earth, or in any other place that can work against you. The Bible says that you have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20) and that price is the blood of Jesus. This means that no one can touch you because you are God's possession. Through the sacrifice of the blood of Jesu flowing inside you, you are irreversibly blessed. God has blessed you with all heavenly blessings, and there is no man that can curse you! Numbers 23:23 says:


Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!


In Proverbs 26:2, you are reassured that:


As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.


If someone decides to curse you without a genuine cause, do not be moved and do not be afraid. Goliath cursed David and, in a few minutes, his head was in David's hands. In fact, any fellow who tries to curse you needs your prayers because God's word says in Genesis 12:3:


And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: ...


What is that genuine cause that can make a curse active even on a believer? It is sin. After Balaam could not curse the people of Israel because they were blessed, they were tricked into sleeping with strange women, and before they knew it, they were cursed with diseases. If you want to be blessed beyond curses, after surrendering your life to Jesus, you must ensure that you live holy. A life without Jesus does not have protection against any curse. As long as you remain a child of God, you are untouchable to curses.


KEY POINT

Surrender your life to Jesus and live holy to ensure that you are blessed beyond curses.:



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 31-32



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE



HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME


1.  Rock of Ages, cleft for me,


Let me hide myself in Thee;


Let the water and the blood,


From Thy riven side which flowed,


Be of sin the double cure,


Save me from its guilt and power.



2.  Not the labor of my hands


Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;


Could my zeal no respite know,


Could my tears forever flow,


All could never sin erase,


Thou must save, and save by grace.



3.  Nothing in my hands I bring,


Simply to Thy cross I cling;


Naked, come to Thee for dress,


Helpless, look to Thee for grace:


Foul, I to the fountain fly,


Wash me, Savior, or I die.



4.  While I draw this fleeting breath,


When mine eyes shall close in death,


When I soar to worlds unknown,


See Thee on Thy judgment throne,


Rock of Ages, cleft for me,


Let me hide myself in Thee.

THEME: THE PURPOSENOF HIS LIFE, DEATH AND RESURRECTION


MEMORISE: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.   John 10:10


READ: John 1:19-29 

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?


20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.


21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.


22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?


23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.


24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.


25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?


26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;


27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.


28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.


29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


MESSAGE

I am quite sure that you are aware that over two thousand years ago, Jesus walked the face of the earth as a human being like you and me. However, are you deeply aware of the exact reason for which He came to the earth in human form? John 1:14 says:


And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


What was Jesus' purpose for coming to the world as a man? Let us examine some of the answers that the Bible gives us concerning this:


1. He came to call sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:13 says, "But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."


2. He came to give eternal life. John 10:10 says, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: l am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."


3. He came to heal, deliver and set the captives free. Luke 4:18 says, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"


4. To destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 says, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."


Considering these scriptural references about Jesus' purpose for coming into this world, has His coming had any impact on your life? If you cannot answer this question clearly, then you need to invite Jesus into your life, even if you have done so before. surrender your life completely to Him today and make a commitment to live holy going forward. This way, the purpose of Jesus coming to the earth as a man will be fulfilled in your life, and you will live above sicknesses, diseases, captivity, and the works of the devil. You will enjoy abundant and eternal life in Christ Jesus.


KEY POINT

Jesus came to the earth so that you may have eternal life.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 28-30


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 14: O WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY

1. Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Day I Will Never Forget

After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away

Jesus My Saviour I Met

Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend

He Met The Need Of My Heart

Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling

He Made All The Darkness Depart


Chorus

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

When At The Cross The Saviour Made Me Whole

My Sins Were Washed Away

And My Night Was Turned To Day

Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul


2 Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above

Into God’s Family Divine

Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love

Oh What A Standing Is Mine

And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made

When As A Sinner I Came

Took Of The Offer Of Grace

He Did Proffer He Saved Me

Oh Praise His Dear Name


3 Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure

After The Passing Of Time

I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure

There In Those Mansions Sublime

And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day

When At The Cross I Believed

Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal

From His Precious Hand I Received

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: MONDAY AUGUST 5TH 2024


THEME: FIRE IN YOUR BOSOM


MEMORISE: Abstain from all appearance of evil.     1 Thessalonians 5:22



READ: Proverbs 4:14-15 

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.


15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.



MESSAGE

The Bible says that a man cannot take fire in his bosom and not be burnt (Proverbs 6:27). Fire in this context is sin. If a believer is allowing sin or an appearance of sin around him or her, he or she is taking fire in his or her bosom and will eventually be burned.

I learned from Joseph's story that when the devil is determined to bring a man down, he will position temptation around him such that he will keep seeing it continually. He knows that if the temptation is right in front of the fellow every day, it is only a matter of time before he falls. This is why I have always told my children that they must not have a secretary or personal assistant who is of the opposite sex. It is better not to bring the

temptation anywhere near you than to believe that you can resist it.


A common adage in Yoruba land says, if you will not eat it, don't smell it. If a man has been asking you for a relationship that you know will lead to sin, why are you still answering his calls? If you are always tempted to steal, why will you agree to help your group or department keep the money they have contributed? You must stay far from whatever you know can lead you to sin because the devil is described as a serpent. A serpent is very subtle and cunning. As dangerous as it is, it can crawl right beside you without you realizing it. You may have sworn that you will never do something, but if you allow that thing around you, the devil will cunningly get you to do it.


The elders say that it is through an opening in a wall that the lizard gains entrance into the house. When you give room to temptation around you, you have opened up the wall of your soul, and it is only a matter of time before sin creeps in. Unfriend that friend who always suggests sinful things, relocate from that area where you are more susceptible to committing sin, delete whatever is on phone that can lead you to sin, and just do whatever it takes to get sin far away from you. It is better to lose these things and make it to heaven than to retain them and go to hell.



ACTION POINT

Think about the things or people that present temptations to you regularly and ensure that you stay away from them.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 9-11



AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE



HYMN 31:  YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1.  Yield not to temptation,

For yielding is sin;

Each vict’ry will help you,

Some other to win;

Fight valiantly onward,

Evil passions subdue;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.


Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.


2 Shun evil companions,

Bad language disdain;

God’s name hold in rev’rence,

Nor take it in vain;

Be thoughtful and earnest,

Kindhearted and true;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through. 


3 To him that o’ercometh,

God giveth a crown;

Through faith we will conquer,

Though often cast down;

He who is our Savior,

Our strength will renew;

Look ever to Jesus,

He will carry you through.

DATE: SUNDAY AUGUST 4TH 2024.


THEME: THE RED SEA MUST PART


MEMORISE: And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.       Genesis 32:24



READ: Exodus 14:21-29 

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.


22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.


23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.


24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,


25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.


26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.


27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.


28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.


29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.


MESSAGE

In Exodus 14:5-31, the Israelites were in a terrible situation. Behind them, the Egyptian army was charging at them, and in front of them was a great sea they could not swim across. There was no humanly possible solution to their problem, yet they turned to a fellow human, Moses, for help. Thank God Moses was wise enough to turn to God because, at crossroads like that, the only way out is the way God provides.


In situations like the one the Israelites were in, you should face God and say, "Lord, this Red Sea must par I will not let You go except You make a way for me." Those are not times for gentlemanly prayers; they are times for violent prayers such that God will know that you will not rest until you geta miracle.


I remember one time that I was in such a situation. I lay flat on the road in the middle of the night at Redemption City, crying to God desperately for help. When there is a serious problem and there is no way out, I’ll hold on to God in prayers, and I don't let go until He parts the sea and makes a way for me.


In Matthew 15:22-28, the Canaanite woman knew that the only solution to her daughter's problem was with Jesus, so she did not let anything deter her; she pestered Him until she got what she wanted. The woman with the issue of blood had gone to all the doctors in the land and spent all her money, yet the illness remained. She knew that the only way out of her problem was to make contact with Jesus, so even though the crowd was great and she was weak from all the bleeding, she pressed through until she touched Him and got her healing.


Maybe the reason some Christians are relaxed in the place of prayer is that they cannot see how close the enemy is to them. Maybe they cannot see that the devil is doing all he can to win the battle over them. Beloved, don’t wait until it is too late; pray now! Don't condone that problem any further; deal with it now. Stop thinking that your solution is with any man when only God can help you. If you call on Him to make a way for you where there is no way, He will do it. Are you ready to pray now?



PRAYER POINT

Father, this Red Sea (mention the problem) must part today! Please make a way for me Lord!



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 6-8



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!
