Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 16TH 2025


TOPIC: MARRIAGE: DON'T WAIT FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS


MEMORISE:

“He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.” - (Ecclesiastes 11:4)


READ: GENESIS 2:18-25 (KJV)


18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.


19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.


20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.


21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;


22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.


23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.


24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.


25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.


MESSAGE:

In today's Bible reading, God said that it is not good for man to be alone, and He instituted marriage. This is why believers should not delay getting married once they are mature enough, have a stable source of income, and God has shown them the right partners.


Marriage, however, isn't an achievement in itself; a man and his wife are to help each other achieve their God-given goals. Believers should not try to achieve everything before getting married; whoever they marry is to help them fulfil their purpose and aspirations. Some of the things people struggle to achieve will become easier when their helpers join them (Deuteronomy 32:30).


The earlier people marry and start having children, the quicker they can finish raising them and focus on God's work. However, this exempts those whom God told specifically not to get married. I thank God I married early and had children early too. Imagine if I had my first child at age 40; I might have been unable to focus on God's work as I should, and my wife might have been unavailable to help me. Once I was done raising all my children, I might not have had the same strength I had to do God's work in the early days of my ministry.


Many people delay getting married until they realise that time is running out fast. Consequently, they hurriedly find someone to marry. Marriage is not an institution to rush into; there is a need to pray and be sure of God's will concerning it. When people are in a hurry to get married, everything will look like a sign of God's will, and they may end up marrying the wrong partners. Marrying the wrong person is like driving with someone who isn't going in your direction. There will always be disagreements, confusion, and stress because both parties are going in opposite directions.


Lamentations 3:27 says that it is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth. In the context of marriage, 'yoke' is not a bad thing because marriage means being yoked together with the person that God has ordained to help you. In youth, people have enough strength to conquer mountains and achieve profound things with their spouses. It is unwise to wait for the perfect conditions before getting married because they will never come (Ecclesiastes 11:4). Those who keep waiting to have everything before they marry might end up wasting precious time chasing the wrong things. 


 KEY POINT:

Unless God has specifically told you to wait, it is unwise to delay getting married. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JUDGES 9-10


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMN: 28 - GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH 


1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer,

pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but you are mighty;

hold me with your powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,

feed me now and evermore,

feed me now and evermore.


2 Open now the crystal fountain,

where the healing waters flow.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,

ever be my strength and shield,

ever be my strength and shield.


3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,

bid my anxious fears subside.

Death of death, and hell's Destruction,

land me safe on Canaan's side.

Songs of praises, songs of praises

I will ever sing to you,

I will ever sing to you

TOPIC: HE OWNS IT ALL


MEMORIZE: 

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;" Acts 17:24 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: PSALM 24:1-2

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.


2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.


MESSAGE:

Today’s Bible reading says that everything on the earth belongs to God, including silver, gold, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.


Nobody can be richer than the Owner of the whole earth. Whatever anyone possesses is just a little bit of what God has.


The real resources are in His hands, and He can supply all your needs effortlessly.


In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the widow of one of the sons of the prophets was bankrupt, and creditors wanted to seize her sons as repayment for the debt.


However, God intervened, and in a short time, He provided her with so much money that she became debt-free and had enough to live on for her lifetime.


In John 6:5-13, He fed 5,000 people with a little boy’s lunch.


Afterwards, there were 12 baskets of leftovers. God fed the multitude, and the leftovers were more than what He started with. In Jesus’ name, all your needs will be met.


I once travelled to London, and while I was there, I ran out of money. I needed £50 to buy books, and as I went to bed one night, l prayed, “God, I wish I had £50.”


Soon after, the phone rang. I picked it up, and the caller said, “Biyi?” I said, “There is no Biyi here.”


When he asked who I was, I answered, “My name is Adeboye.” He asked, “Which Adeboye?” and I said, “Pastor Adeboye of RCCG.”


He began to scream, and he eventually came over with his brother. When they were leaving, they gave me £50.


After they left, I told God that if I knew how easily He could give me £50, I would have asked for £100.


Almost ten minutes after saying that, the doorbell rang. However, before I could get to the door, the person left.


Underneath the door, I saw an envelope containing another £50 from a rich miser that I had known for a long time.


Again, I asked for another £50, and soon after, I miraculously got it. I became afraid and said, “Lord, I am joking. I am already satisfied with the first £50.”


God embarrassed me with much more than I needed because He owns everything.


Beloved, there is no limit to what God can do for His children. He is the creator of the entire universe, and He owns it all.


KEY POINT:

God is limitless in what He can do for you when you are His child.


BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: JUDGES 6-8


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation:

Join the great throng

psaltery, organ and song

sounding in glad adoration.


2. Praise to the Lord,

over all things he gloriously reigneth:

Borne as on eagle-wings, safely his saints, He sustaineth

Has thou not seen

How all thou needest hath been

Granted in what he ordaineth?


3. Praise to the Lord,

Who doth prosper thy way and defend thee;

Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee;

ponder anew, What the almighty can do

Who with his love doth befriend thee.


4. Praise to the Lord!

O let all that is in me adore him!

All that has breath join with Abraham’s Seed to adore him!

Let the Amen, sum all our praises again;

Now as we worship before him.

DATE: FRIDAY MARCH 14TH 2025


TOPIC: FROM 'NOT YET' TO 'NOW'


MEMORISE:

“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is to come.” - (Psalm 102:13)


READ: JOHN 2:1-11 (KJV)


1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:


2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.


3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.


4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.


5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.


6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.


7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.


8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.


9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,


10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.


11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.


MESSAGE:

Today, I will explore how God can change a 'Not yet' to 'Now'. In today's Bible reading, Jesus went to a wedding in Cana, and His mother told Him, "Son, they are out of wine," implying that He should remedy the situation. He initially said, "My time is not yet," but before long, what was 'Not yet' became 'Now'.


I was once in the USA for ministrations, and throughout my stay, a brother volunteered to drive me. I was impressed by his humility and kindness, and when I was leaving the country, I gave him a gift to give to his children. He didn't tell me that he had been married for 19 years with no children. Not long after that, he came to our convention with his wife and child to testify of how God turned a 'Not yet' of 19 years into a 'Yes'. He said that immediately I gave him the gift, he sealed it with faith and told his wife, "Daddy gave us a gift for the children; we will keep it for them." God is still in the business of turning 'Not yet' to 'Right now', and your case will not be different, in Jesus' name.


Years ago, a young graduate was searching for a job. He had sent countless applications but was unable to land one. Finally, he made up his mind, saying, "I will be at the Holy Ghost Service. When I get there, I'm going to wrestle with God until I get my result. My time must come NOW." Because he had no money, he walked 46 kilometres from Lagos all the way to Redemption City. He arrived just as I was about to begin my ministration. After a while, I noticed a little disturbance in the congregation; the young man had fainted because he was very tired, and the people around him were trying to revive him. I said, "What's wrong? Bring him." When he revived, he told his story, and when the congregation heard that he walked 46 kilometres to get a 'Now' answer from God, he got six job offers.


Don't postpone what God can do for you now until tomorrow because of a lack of faith or disobedience. When Jesus said His time had not yet come, to change that narrative to 'Now', Mary told the servants, "Do whatever He tells you." Just as persistent faith in God will turn a 'No' to a 'Yes', total obedience to His instructions will change a 'Not yet' to 'Right now'. Take a bold step inspired by God and you will see His 'Not yet' becoming 'Now'. 


 KEY POINT:

Total obedience to God's word and instructions will change a 'Not yet' to 'Right now'. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  JUDGES 4-5


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMN: 11 - STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST OUR KING 


1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,

Through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God.


2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail.

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God. 


3 Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,

Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,

Standing on the promises of God. 


4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

List'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

TOPIC: FROM 'NO' TO 'YES'


MEMORISE:

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.” - (Daniel 2:21)


READ: MATTHEW 15:21-28 (KJV)


21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.


22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.


23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.


24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.


25 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.


26 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.


27 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.


MESSAGE:

God never changes, but He can change things; this is why I call Him the Unchangeable Changer. He can change a 'No' to a 'Yes'. In today's Bible reading, a woman came to Jesus, asking Him to heal her daughter. Jesus initially refused to answer her, then later on, told her 'no'. She, however, persisted, and He eventually turned His 'No' into a 'Yes'.


During a church programme, God's word came that someone who was applying for a US visa had just received it. A young lady, who had an interview at the US embassy the following Monday, was so excited because she believed the prophecy was for her. Her visa application was, however, declined. Surprised, she told the visa officer, "But my daddy said the visa has been granted." The officer looked at her and said, "Who is your daddy?" She replied, "My daddy is Pastor Adeboye." The officer laughed, "I thought you were going to say the president or governor, but a pastor? Please leave." As she turned to leave, the visa officer said, "Wait. Because you made me laugh, I'll give you the visa." It wasn't laughter that turned the situation around; it was because there is a God who can change a 'No' to a 'Yes'.


Sometimes, God changes the 'No' of His children's enemies to a 'Yes'. Pharaoh kept saying 'No' to Moses' demands to let God's people go, but God arose in His mighty power to change that 'No' to a 'Yes'. In one night, He dealt with all the firstborns in Egypt because Pharaoh refused to allow His firstborn, Israel, to serve Him (Exodus 4:22-23). I pray that every 'No' from a boss or someone in authority who has prevented you from making progress in life will be turned into a 'Yes' now, in Jesus' name.


Have faith in God and keep trusting Him. Like the woman who persistently asked Jesus for healing for her daughter and got it eventually, your persistent faith will open doors that have remained shut against you. Moses kept going to Pharaoh until God forced him to change his 'No' into a 'Yes'.


Beloved, as you keep trusting in God, I decree that every door that has remained shut and has prevented you from fulfilling your destiny will be opened now. Every 'No' that is not in line with God's will is turning into a 'Yes' for you, in Jesus' name. 


 KEY POINT:

Persistent faith in God will turn a 'No' into a 'Yes'. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JUDGES 1-3


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.
