Open Heavens 4 July 2017 - Having A Servant Spirit

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 02:11 PM PDT

Open Heavens 4 July 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Having servant spirit

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 08:13 AM PDT

HAVING A SERVANT SPIRIT – Tuesday July 4th 2017
Memorize: For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not not he that sitteth  at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Luke 22:27
Read: Luke 22:24-27 (KJV)
22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 14, Lamentation 4:19-5:22, Hymn: Sing hymn 14
MESSAGE:
Signs and wonders easily flow in an atmosphere where authority is respected. The moment a person becomes rebellious or refuses to submit to the authority of leaders, God withdraws and so do His signs and wonders, if you want God to use you in the miraculous, learn to remain submissive to the authority of those set over you by God. Moreover, another attribute of the fellow God will use to perform signs and wonders is the possession of a servant spirit. If you take a critical look at the person of Philip as recorded in the book of Acts, chapter 6 and 8, you will see a man who happily obeyed when he was sent to serve food as an usher, even though he was full of faith, power and the Holy Spirit. If some people had such credentials as these, they would suddenly become very choosy in the nature of assignments they are willing to carry out. Open Heavens 4 July 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Having servant spirit. If a pastor asks some workers to clean the toilet today, they may give the pastor a look that says, "Don't you know who I am? Is it because I am a worker in your church? In my place of work, I am the managing Director." Nobody is contesting that with you. The truth remains that in God's Kingdom, a worker is a servant. When you get to your office, you can be the boss there, but when you are in God's house, you must be prepared to serve. Do know that anyone who is unwilling to serve can never reach the top in God's house?

You need to always remember that even the Lord Jesus Christ came as a servant! In Luke 22:26, He admonished us with these words:

"But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."
Not only did He instruct us to serve, He Himself did exactly that. He came as one who serves (Luke 22:27). Do you remember He washed the feet of His disciples (John 13:5)? This is why I teach my students at the school of Disciples that the hands that cannot do manual labour cannot heal the sick. [Tuesday July 4, 2017] Some people have abandoned house chores to their domestic workers and other helpers. If you really want God to use your hands to perform signs and wonders, then you must engage them in manual labour. By virtue of my position as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, people try to keep me from doing chores. However, do you know that even with all the help and assistants at my disposal, when I realise they are not around, I quickly iron some of my wife's clothes or go to the kitchen sink to wash some plates? I know what I am doing. Are you a servant or a lord that everyone must obey?
Prayer Point
Father, give me the servant spirit of Jesus Christ, so that I may serve others just as He did.

Open Heavens 3 July 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Focused asking

Posted: 02 Jul 2017 08:34 AM PDT

FOCUSED ASKING – Monday July 3rd 2017
Memorise: I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. Luke 11:8
Read; Luke 11:5-10 (KJV)
11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 12-13, Lamentation 4:2-18, Hymn sing hymn 4
MESSAGE:

One of the conditions to be met before one's burden is lifted is the need to see that burden as an anomaly. You must acknowledge the existence of the burden, and be willing to be helped, before you can be set free from it. In John 5:2-9, Jesus asked the man who had been sick for 38 years, "Do you want to be made whole?" You may wonder why Jesus asked him such an obvious question. Why didn't He just heal him straightaway? The truth is, not everyone wants to be helped. I have shared the story of a sick woman who I prayed for many time without results. Then one day, the Lord told me, "Ask her if she want to be healed". Initially, I wondered what kind of question that was, but later I asked her, "Woman, do you want to be well?" To my utmost shock she replied, "No". In my astonishment I asked her why not, and she said, "When I was well, immediately my husband closed from his work place, he would go to club houses, but since I took ill, after work, he comes home to me. I would rather be sick and retain my husband's attention. "There is also the case of a witch who was brought to us for deliverance some time ago. Open Heavens 3 July 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Focused asking. Although we prayed, she would not be delivered. So, I asked, "Woman, do you want to be delivered?" She replied, "Do you want me to lose the power I use in controlling my husband? I don't want to be free." As long as you are not willing to let go of the burden on you, there is nothing God will do to take it off you. In any case, God does not force things on you against your will, except in very rare cases.

In addition, you must be ready to cry to the Burden Bearer for help like Bartimaeus did in Mark 10:46-52. He cried once and again saying:

"Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me."
When others shouted him down, he raised his voice even higher. He kept calling until the Lord heard him. If you are weighed down by a burden and you pray lackadaisically, it simply shows that you are not really concerned about that burden. If you are, you will throw caution and decorum to the wind and call upon the Lord with your whole heart, and He will answer you. Some people call on God for a little while and stop. [Monday July 3, 2017] Such people may not get the answer they seek because they are not desperate enough. If you want results, call on Him and continue calling on Him. Use every opportunity you have to call on Him. Let Him see that you have resolved not to get Him rest until He answers you. When He sees that the answer to your prayers means everything to you, He will answer. As you call on Him this season, the Lord will answer you speedily in Jesus' Name.
Key Point:
If you are not ready to petition God repeatedly until He has no breathing space, you are not desperate enough for your desired change.

Open Heavens 2 July 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Why your healing is now

Posted: 01 Jul 2017 08:35 AM PDT

WHY YOUR HEALING IS NOW – Sunday July 2nd 2017
Memorise: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we behold his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Read: Jeremiah 32:26-27 (KJV)
32:26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 10-11, Lamentation 3:37-4:1, Hymn: Sing hymn 5
MESSAGE:
In Jeremiah 32:27, God said something very profound:

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

In this scripture, God introduced Himself as the God of all flesh. Similarly, in Ezekiel 18:4, He said all souls are His; so we can correctly say that God is also the God of all souls. Also, Hebrews 12:9 calls Him the Father of spirits; we can therefore correctly say that He is the God of all spirits. Considering all these, we can confidently say that God is the God of the spirit, soul and body (the flesh). [Sunday July 2, 2017]. It therefore means that He knows everything about your spirit, soul and body, and being the Owner of them all, He can work on any part of you. Praise God!

As the God of all flesh, God is genuinely interested in whatever happens to your body. John 1:1&14 reveals that the Word was God, and He eventually becomes flesh. So then, what are the implications of the Lord being the God of all flesh? First, He can change any damaged flesh and make it brand new. A particular brother was taken on a visit to Heaven many years ago, and there he saw a particular store-house with spare human body parts of all types, sizes, colours and shapes. These are not needed in Heaven but meant for people on earth. He said with faith in Jesus Christ, you can pull your required body part(s) from the store into your body.Open Heavens 2 July 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Why your healing is now.Does any part of your body require replacement? Receive it now in Jesus' Name! One individual who benefited from this truth was Naaman. His skin was damaged and ravaged by leprosy that God had to give him brand new skin (2nd Kings 5:1-14). All he had to do was to obey God's instruction, and his skin suddenly became like that of a new born baby. In Jesus' Name, receive that miracle of the brand new part you need for your body now! The level of destruction experienced in the flesh cannot hinder the God of all flesh from doing His job. Some people look at how certain afflictions or sores have ravaged their bodies, and they concluded that there is no more hope for them. No, don't give up! Job had an understanding of this when in Job 19:26, he said:

"And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:"

There is a user of this Devotional who is afflicted by a sore that has refused to heal. The God of all flesh says He is doing something about it right now. When you are healed, go and testify to God's glory. Call on God today, worship Him because He is in charge of all flesh and thereafter ask Him to replace your damaged body with brand new parts.   
Prayer Point
Father, You are the God of all flesh, solve every problem I have with my body today!

Open Heavens 1 July 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Salvation comes first

Posted: 30 Jun 2017 08:20 AM PDT

SALVATION COMES FIRST – Saturday July 1st 2017
Memorise: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1st Peter 2:24
Read: 1st Peter 2:21-25 (KJV)
2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 8-9, Lamentation 3:7-36, Hymn: Sing hymn 11
MESSAGE:
Just as the repercussions of sin can affect every facet of life, so also can salvation become the platform of recovery for every area of life that has been devastated by sin. When a sinner comes in contact with the Lamb of God and His blood, his or her sins are washed away, and all the devastating effects of sin can be reversed in one day. Take for instance the impotent man in John 5:2-14, who was sick for 38 years. Immediately he came in contact with Jesus, he was healed. From that moment, he stopped failing, hope came to his hopelessness, he was able to fellowship with people in church, peace came to his life and joy returned to his heart. All these happened in one day.Open Heavens 1 July 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Salvation comes first.When you give your life to Jesus and He saves your soul, peace and joy will suddenly flood your heart. From that very moment, you have access to all the precious promises of God. You can claim them and they will become reality in your life.

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
1st Peter 2:24

God's process for healing is revealed in the above scripture. First is the transfer of your sins to the crucified body of Jesus Christ by faith, and thereafter comes healing. Many people want God to heal them but they do not want God to first roll away their sins. It doesn't work that way! Any prophet, man of God or pastor who promises to heal you without the experience of salvation from sin must be avoided like a plague. [Saturday July 1, 2017] Why? It is because instead of a miracle from God, you might be getting magic from Satan, and you can be certain that Satan is a very wicked taskmaster. Moreover, quite a number of sicknesses and diseases are caused by sin. The moment you settle the issue of sin at the cross of Jesus Christ, healing will then be released. Are you sick and still wallowing in sin? Give your life to Jesus now! Renounce every link with the devil, break every covenant with demons and commit your life to Christ. Ask God to forgive you for your life of sin and promise never to return to that life. Ask Him to come into your heart as Lord and Saviour today. If you have truly done these from your heart, I command every sickness or disease hibernating inside your body to be uprooted now in Jesus' Name!
Action Point
Use every opportunity to pray for the healing of the sick, but first lead them to Christ

Open Heavens 30 June 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Wonderful protection

Posted: 29 Jun 2017 08:41 AM PDT

WONDERFUL PROTECTION – Friday June 30th 2017
Memorise: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Psalm 91:5
Read: Psalm 91:5-7 (KJV)
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 6-7, Lamentation 2:14-3:6, Hymn: Sing hymn 2
MESSAGE:
Besides being a God of wonders who does wonders, God can also turn you into a wonder. A young man gave a profound testimony during one of our monthly Holy Ghost Services some years ago. He testified that during a prior Holy Ghost Service, the Lord instructed me to inform the congregants that the clothes they wore to that programme had just been anointed and had therefore been special. Unknown to him, some hired killers had been sent to kill him. Coincidentally, on the day marked for his assassination, he was wearing the very clothes that had been anointed during the Holy Ghost Service. As he passed by the assassins on this fateful day, he heard them say, "This is the fellow", and immediately, they opened fire on him. Six bullets passed through the front of his clothes and came out at the back, but nothing touched him. He brought the clothes he wore and showed us the bullet holes in front and at the back. He said he could not explain how that could happen without affecting his body. Indeed, there is a God who can turn someone into a wonder! [Friday June 30, 2017] As people looked at him, they saw someone who by all standards should have been dead, but who was alive because God miraculously protected him from weapons of destruction. This season, God will turn you into a wonder! He will miraculously protect you from every weapon of death formed against you.

Moreover, God can perform wonders through you! He can turn you into an instrument that performs wonders. For instance, on one ordinary day, Peter and John were going along the way when they encountered a lame man who asked for alms, but God used them to heal him (Acts 3:1-11). This same man who had sat at a gate of the temple for years suddenly rose up, began to walk, leap and praise God. Open Heavens 30 June 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Wonderful protection. He became a wonder to everyone who knew him, and the duo that God used to perform the miracle also stood out as wonders. Acts 3:11 says,
"And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering."

Beloved, God wants you to be a wonder. He also wants to use you to perform wonders. Are you ready to cooperate with Him? Can you pay the price to become a conduit for sings and wonders to flow through? How concerned are you about God's Kingdom? How consecrated are you? Are you prepared to give it all it takes?
Prayer point
Father, as You used Peter and John to perform miracles, use me and my family to perform spectacular miracles today.

Open Heavens 29 June 2017: Thursday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Think in the spirit

Posted: 28 Jun 2017 08:14 AM PDT

THINK IN THE SPIRIT – Thursday June 29th 2017
Memorise: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6
Read: Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 3-5, Lamentation 2:3-13, Hymn: Sing hymn 15
MESSAGE:
Life in the Spirit is possible, even though for most believers it still a struggle (Galatians 5:25). To grow your spirit-man, you need to earnestly seek more opportunities to be refilled with the Holy Spirit after being baptized with Him (Ephesians 5:18-19). To live in the Spirit, you need to think in the Spirit. In our thought life, many of us leave out the Holy Spirit, and this is one of the reasons why we don't go far in our walk with God. Whenever God is left out of an equation, it never balances. This is why today's Bible reading says we should acknowledge Him in all and not some of our ways. It is only then He will direct our paths. Open Heavens 29 June 2017: Thursday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Think in the spirit. Some of us usually announce to God the decisions we have already reached, instead of consulting with Him earlier, so that He can help us arrive at the best decision. What is wrong with God deciding for you? Who decided that you would be born? Were you a part of that decision? Who decided your sex, nation, looks, height, complexion and the parents you would have? If He could decide all these, would it be too much for Him to be involved in the decision-making process of your life? [Thursday June 29 2017]. When He is involved in a decision, He will ensure it does not fail. However, if in playing "mature" boy or girl, you leave Him out and your decisions later backfire, you will have only yourself to blame.
When there is an issue on ground and you present the issue to God, asking for His guidance or instruction on how to handle it, He will be pleased that you are giving Him His rightful place in your life. To what extent do you involve God in your personal and family affairs? Do you see Him as an intruder or as a partner? How often do you involve God in your thoughts and plans? If you really want Him to be a part of your thought life, then shun all evil thoughts. Load your mind with His word. Think often on God's word and focus on Jesus. By doing these, it will become easy for you to think in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the only Person who can help you see things from God's perspective. This is why 1st Corinthians 2:11 says,

"For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God."

When you yield your mind to Him, you will see yourself thinking more like Jesus, and what is important to God will gradually become important to you. When this continues, His likes will become your likes, and you will hate what He hates. There will be an alignment between what He wants and what you want. Start involving God in your thought process from today.
Key Point
The extent to which you involve God in your personal or family affairs shows the extent of your trust in Him.
