TOPIC: CONDUCTORS OF THE ANOINTING I

 

MEMORISE:

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runne th over." Psalm 23:5

 

BIBLE READING: JOHN 4:34-38

34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

 

MESSAGE:

As we see in today's memory verse, God places the anointing on a man's head. However, a man's hands are the conductors of that anointing. In 1 Samuel 17:34-37, David smote the lion and the bear with his hands. With his hand also, he held the sling that brought Goliath down (1 Samuel 17:49). In Judges 14:5-6, Samson was going down to Timnath when a lion roared at him. The anointing came on him, and he tore the lion in half with his bare hands. In Judges 15:14-15, it was also Samson's hands that grabbed the jawbone of an ass and turned it into a weapon of mass destruction.

 

An anointed person's head is like an electricity generator, and the fellow's hands can be likened to wires that conduct electricity to where it is needed. The anointing on a person's head determines the power the fellow carries in his or her hands. One day, I was in a store abroad buying books, and as is my custom, I was singing choruses while picking the books off the shelves. After a while, a man came to me smiling, and he said, "It must be such a lovely day, seeing how happily you are singing." I laughed and shook his hand because he had extended it for a handshake. As he turned to leave, he exclaimed, What just happened? It is gone!" Apparently, he had been suffering a backache for years, but as he shook my hand, the pain disappeared. A casual handshake resulted in a miracle because my hands conducted the anointing upon my head into the needed vessel.

Beloved, you need God's anointing upon your head if you want His power to flow through your hands. You must spend quality time in fellowship with God so that He will anoint you. When God anoints you, you will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. As a believer, your hands must be actively doing God's work. When you see sick people, lay hands on them. Don't withdraw your hands from doing God's work because the anointing you carry will remain dormant if your hands are not taking it to where it is needed. The more you lay hands on the sick, the more demand you will place on the anointing upon your life, and the more it will grow. As the anointing upon your life grows, God will trust you to handle bigger things because He knows that your hands will deliver the things that He wants to do.

 

REFLECTION:

Are your hands actively doing God's work?

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JAMES 1-5

 

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 endless praise,

let them flow in endless 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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY DECEMBER 20TH 2025

THEME: IT IS SETTLED

MEMORISE:

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16

READ: Psalms 33:8-9

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 

MESSAGE:

Whenever God speaks, whatever He says is final (Psalm 119:89). Isaiah 55:10-11 makes it clear that when God sends His word on an errand, it will not return to Him until it has finished its assignment.

 

This means that if God sends His word to a fellow and that fellow refuses to accept it, that word will go to someone else because God's word cannot, and will not, return to Him without accomplishing what it has been sent to do.

 

Now, if this same word dwells in your heart, you can use it to accomplish great and mighty things to the glory of God. You can tell sicknesses to disappear from your life and the lives of others, and they will disappear. You can command poverty to leave, and it will leave.

 

To settle negative issues with God's word, however, you must allow His word to settle fully in your heart. When something settles somewhere, it has found a conducive resting place there. When Noah sent out a dove after the flood, the Bible says that the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to the ark (Genesis 8:9). Until you make room for God's word in your heart, it cannot settle in you. God's word will settle difficult situations in your life and the lives of others if you let it dwell richly in your heart. People are often called rich because they have lots of money. Those who have only a few thousands in their bank accounts cannot claim to be rich. Similarly, you cannot claim to be rich in God's word when you know only a few verses in the Bible. You must immerse yourself in God's word and allow it to fill every part of your being by reading and studying it daily. Never be satisfied with yesterday's revelation; seek to know God's word anew daily. His word will dwell richly in you as you meditate on it.

 

When a cook wants a lump of meat to fully absorb some seasonings, he or she will soak the meat in the seasonings for hours to marinate it before cooking. This is what meditation does; it marinates your heart in God's word and makes you rich in it.

 

Beloved, let God's word dwell richly in you and honour it at all times by obeying it completely. This way, whenever you speak it into any situation, God will surely back it up.

KEY POINT:

You will accomplish great things with God's word when you allow His word to dwell richly in you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Hebrews 11-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 11: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY 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. 

Chorus:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Saviour;

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. 

Refrain 

3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God. 

Refrain 

4 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. 

Refrain 

5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Saviour as my All in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2025

TOPIC: YOU CAN NOT CHEAT GOD

MEMORISE:

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - (Galatians 6:7)

BIBLE READING: PROVERBS 3:5-7 (KJV)

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

MESSAGE:

Years ago, a man who was completely stiff was brought to the RCCG headquarters; he couldn’t move his hands or bend down. We asked him if he would give his life to Jesus, and he did. We prayed a simple prayer, and immediately, he was healed. He was able to kneel, raise his hands, clap, and move his body in ways he couldn’t do before. For about two weeks, he was regular at church services, but after that, he stopped coming. We decided to follow him up, so we visited him at home and asked why he had not been coming to church. He responded by asking us if it was the church that healed him. We told him, “Of course not; it was God, but He used the church.” Then He said, “What then is the problem? If you go to a hospital and you get well, won’t you go home? I came to your church, and I got healed. There is no need for me to keep coming back.” We eventually left him alone, and some months later, as I was driving by, I saw him by the roadside in a worse condition than he was before his initial healing. This time, not only was his entire body stiff, his mouth was wide open, and saliva was dripping uncontrollably from it.

One thing about demons is that they don’t rest. When a demon’s host runs to God and gets delivered from the demon, after some time, it will return to see the state of the fellow. If it sees that the fellow, having received his or her miracle, has decided that he or she doesn’t need God again, it will invite seven more demons that are stronger than it to possess the fellow again. Eventually, the fellow who thought that he or she could use God just to get healed will realise that his or her case has become worse (Matthew 12:43-45).

Some men who are living wayward lives join churches because they want to get married to good Christian ladies. However, they often discover, after getting married, that they have been deceived into marrying someone like themselves who is not genuinely born-again, and also came to the church to look for a Christian husband.

Beloved, in my over 50 years of walking with God, I have discovered that people who think that they can use God and turn their backs on Him always regret it. Never be like such people! 

KEY POINT:

Those who try to use God deceitfully always end up regretting their actions. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  HEBREWS 9-10

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;

dark passions subdue.

Look ever to Jesus;

He'll 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,

kind-hearted and true.

Look ever to Jesus;

He'll 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'll carry you through.

TOPIC: DON'T TAKE GOD FOR GRANTED

MEMORISE

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." - (John 15:5)

READ: Matthew 10:28-33 (KJV)

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

MESSAGE

When I became the General Overseer of RCCG, I decided that everyone who attends our annual conventions would be fed by God during the conventions. I made the decision by faith as I was a pastor and did not have a secular job. I announced that everyone would be fed twice daily during conventions and I showed them (1 Kings 17:4-6) where God fed Elijah twice daily. One of the young men in the church, a baker, volunteered to provide us with bread for breakfast during our conventions, and he did this consistently for some years. One year, however, he decided that he would stop supplying bread because he didn’t like one of the sermons I had preached, but he didn’t inform me of his decision.

During one of the morning sessions that year, we sang and praised God until around 11am as we waited for bread to arrive; however, no bread was supplied. Around noon, I sent for him and asked, “What happened? Did the vehicles bringing the bread break down on the way here?” He said, “No”. Then, I asked him what the problem was, and he replied, “I am not bringing bread anymore.” Immediately, I sent for my wife and asked her, “How much do we have for the evening meal?” We gathered the money together and bought bread for breakfast. Somehow, God helped us to overcome the situation. Years later, I woke up one morning and saw the young baker in front of my house. I asked him, “What can I do for you? You are here very early.” He replied, “I could have come earlier, but I discovered that one of my car’s tyres was flat.” I asked him, “What about the spare tyre?” He said that he had none. This was a man who used to have at least 14 cars.

Beloved, don’t think that you can take God for granted because He is doing some great things through you now. Don’t think that He cannot do without you; in contrast, it is you who cannot do anything without Him and will be nothing without Him, as we see in today’s memory verse. Only foolish people will take the people in power in their country for granted. Therefore, imagine taking the One who is in control of the entire universe (Colossians 1:16-17) for granted. God is way bigger than you, so if you have been taking Him for granted in any way or you have not been honouring Him as you should, repent now. 

KEY POINT

Don't ever take God for granted; you are nothing without Him.

Hebrews 5 - 8

HYMN 8 - I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need thee every hour most gracious Lord; no tender voice like thine can peace afford.

CHORUS

I need thee, oh, I need thee; every hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now my saviour; I come to thee!

2. I need thee every hour, stay thou near by; temptations lose their power when thou art nigh.

3. I need thee every hour in joy or pain; come quickly and abide or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour 

Teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises In me fulfill. 

5. I need Thee every hour, 

Most Holy one; Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
