TOPIC: ALLOW NO BARRIERS TO THE GOSPEL


MEMORISE

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” - (Isaiah 61:1)


READ: 1 Corinthians 9:16-17 (KJV)


16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!


17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.


MESSAGE


People keep asking why The Redeemed Christian Church of God is so successful all over the world. As a matter of fact, we are in some nations where Christianity is not allowed. In some of these nations, we baptise people secretly, and whenever we want to talk about the blood of Jesus, we say BOJ. We have had considerable impact in some of these nations because we did not allow anything deter us from spreading the gospel. We hold Bible Study meetings in open fields and miracles happen. Sometimes, the political leaders in such places come quietly at night, acknowledging that our God is the Almighty.


There was once a lady evangelist and missionary who was working in a village in Africa. In that village, she got everybody to become born again. The people realised what God had done for them, and they were on fire for Him. The lady then decided to convert those in the neighbouring village too. She informed the people around her about her plans, but they were not in favour of it. "You can go to another village, ma'am, not there," they advised. She asked, "Why not?" They replied, "Because there are lions on the way. We have been hearing them roaring, and when they roar like that, it means they are hungry. Please, don't go near that village." "But I must go," she insisted. So, a very elderly and feeble man said to her, "Okay, if you must go, I will go with you." The evangelist looked at him and said, "If a lion attacks, even I can defend myself better than you can." The man said, "You don't understand; lions don't attack when they are full. They only kill when they are hungry. So, the idea is this: I will walk ahead of you, the lions will kill and eat me, and then your way will be clear." Those villagers were ready to lay down their lives for the gospel to reach the unreached.


Beloved, God will not be asking you for too much by telling you to preach to your boss, for instance. However, if you are afraid you might lose your job and refuse to do it, you will be hindering an unsaved soul from hearing the gospel and becoming saved. Do not let any barrier keep you from preaching the gospel; God is counting on you to prevent many people from heading towards eternal damnation. 


ACTION POINT

Always use every opportunity you have to tell people about Jesus. 


AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 25 - 27


HYMN 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE


1. Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee, 

Take my moment and my days, 

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.


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.


4. Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold, Take my intellect, and use 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, 


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.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY 31ST AUGUST 2025


TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD


MEMORIZE:

“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 150:6 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: PSALM 107:1-9

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.


2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;


3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.


4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.


5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.


6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.


7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.


8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!


9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.


MESSAGE:

In (2 Samuel 6:14), the Bible says that David danced with all his might. God loved David so much and was always with him because he was always praising Him. Whenever demons tormented Saul and David played the harp, God's presence would fill the room, and the demons would run away (1 Samuel 16:23). Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. When you praise God regularly, demons cannot stay around you because once light comes in, darkness must flee (John 1:5).


Beloved, you must learn to praise God daily. In the Scriptures, you'll find many reasons to praise Him. In Genesis 17:1, God calls Himself Jehovah Elshaddai, the God who is more than enough. In Genesis 18:9-14 and Jeremiah 32:27, He is revealed as the God of all flesh, with whom nothing is impossible. In Exodus 15:26, He introduced Himself as "... the Lord that healeth thee" because He is the Great Physician. In Psalm 24:7-10, He introduced Himself by two titles: The King of glory and the Lord of hosts. In Psalm 23:1, He presents Himself as Jehovah Rohi, the Good Shepherd who provides everything you need. In Genesis 16:13, He is El-Roi, the All-seeing, All-knowing, ever-attentive God. He cares intimately about you and knows you by name (Exodus 33:17). In Jeremiah 32:17-19, He is El Gibhor, the mighty God who rescues. In Exodus 17:15, He is called Jehovah Nissi, your mighty banner of deliverance. In Isaiah 1:24, He is Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts; He fights visible and invisible battles on your behalf and gives you victory over the enemy.


According to Ezekiel 48:35, He is Jehovah Shammah, the ever-present One. He is always there when you need Him, and He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He is the Alpha and Omega of your life (Revelation 21:6); He always has the first and final say (Isaiah 44:6). He alone is God (Psalm 86:10); He is always good (Psalm 73:1), ever faithful (Lamentations 3:23), all-sufficient (Genesis 17:1), and never changing (Malachi 3:6). God is your comforter (John 14:16), deliverer (2 Samuel 22:2), helper (Psalm 54:4), teacher (John 14:26), strength, and song (Exodus 15:2). He is your very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and does exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). He saved you and will keep you until the end (Jude 1:24).


Beloved, you have breath in you; therefore, you have every reason to praise God. 


ACTION POINT:

Make a habit of praising God for His goodness and wonderful works every day.


BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

EZEKIEL 23 - 24


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Praise Him! Praise Him!

2. Praise Him for His grace and favour to our fathers in distress; praise him still the same ever slow to chide and swift to bless

 Praise Him! Praise Him Glorious in His faithfulness 


3. Father-like He tends nd spares us, well our feeble frame He knows, In His arms he gently bear us, rescues us from all our foes 

Praise Him! Praise Him! 

Wisely as His Mercy flows 


4. Angels help us to adore Him! Ye behold Him face to face: sun and moon bow down before Him: dwellers all in time and space, 

Praise Him! Praise Him! 

Praise us the God of Grace.

DATE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2025.


TOPIC: GOD CAN USE YOU


MEMORISE

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” - (Mark 9:23)


READ: Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)


17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


MESSAGE


Paul persecuted Christians and threw some of them in prison (Acts 8:3). He considered himself the chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15); however, God transformed him and began to use him to perform special miracles (Acts 19:11-12). If God could use Paul, He can use you too. Acts 5:14-16 tells us that people laid the sick on the streets of Jerusalem so that whenever Peter was passing by, his shadow would fall on them, and they would be healed. This was the same Peter who denied Jesus three times, but God restored him and began to use him mightily. If God could use Peter, He can use you too.


We were having a Holy Ghost Service at Redemption City when a woman got a phone call that her daughter had given birth to a set of twins, and she and the twins had died. The woman responded, "Don't move them yet; please wait for me." She ran to the hospital and asked to see the twins - she was shown their dead bodies. She took a bottle of oil and a handkerchief we had prayed over during the service, dropped some of the oil in the mouth of one of the dead twins, and said, "Come back here; who told you that you could die?" Within a few minutes, the baby coughed and came back to life. She did the same with the second baby, and the same thing happened. After this, the entire hospital was in pandemonium. Around that time, her daughter's body was being wheeled to the mortuary. She told those wheeling the body to stop, dropped some oil in her dead daughter's mouth, put the handkerchief on her, and said, "Who do you think is going to take care of your children? Don't waste my time; come back!" Immediately, her daughter came back to life and sat up. God used her to bring three people back to life in one day. Beloved, God can use you to perform miracles too.


Today's Bible reading says that these signs shall follow them that believe: they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues, lay hands on the sick, and bring healing to them by using the name of Jesus. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are the perfect candidate for God to use to perform signs and wonders. Be confident of His ability in you, and He will do great and marvellous things through you in the mighty name of Jesus. 


PRAYER POINT

Father, I believe in You, and I surrender myself for Your use. 


AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye

TOPIC: NO CASE IS HOPELESS


MEMORISE

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” - (Genesis 18:14)


READ: Jeremiah 32:26-27 (KJV)


26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,


27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?


MESSAGE

Some years ago, a woman, who was married to a very wealthy man, was barren. She and her husband sought a solution from everywhere and spent lots of money, but nothing changed. One day, one of her husband's relatives told her to stop wasting her time because some witches had taken her womb, and she could never bear a child. She came to a Holy Ghost Service, and God spoke, "There is someone here; you have just been told that you have no womb. Don't worry because I will give you a set of twins." Not long after that, she became pregnant. At the hospital, a doctor examined her and said, "It looks like there is a child here." She replied, "No, it's not one child; God promised to give me a set of twins." The doctor said, "You should be thanking God that there is even one." She went back for another test about three months later, and the doctor said, "There are two babies here." When the time came for her to deliver, she was flown to one of the best hospitals abroad, and she requested a Caesarean Section. After bringing the babies out, the surgeon searched and could not find a womb inside the woman. When she came around after the anaesthetics she was given wore off, the surgeon came to her and said, "I have performed more than 3,000 operations. This is the first time I am bringing a set of twins out of a woman who has no womb."


And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. (Mark 10:27)


Beloved, no matter what anybody has said about the negative situations that might exist in your life, your case is not hopeless. When men say that a case is hopeless, it is because they have not met the God who turns hopeless cases around. Elisabeth's barrenness seemed to be a hopeless case until God sent His angel to speak with her husband, Zechariah (Luke 1:5-25). If the world has called you barren and labelled your situation hopeless, in the name that is above every other name, the Lord will visit you and change your story. If you have been weeping in sorrow, you will now weep for joy, in Jesus' name. Don't give up; put your trust firmly in God. 


KEY POINT

No case is hopeless if you put your trust firmly in God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 18 - 20


HYMN 15 - PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR


1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


REFRAIN

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


2 Let me at a throne of mercy

find a sweet relief,

Kneeling there in deep contrition;

Help my unbelief. 


3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace. 


4 Thou, the Spring of all my comfort,

more than life to me;

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?
