Open Heavens 9 July 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- The Healing Touch

Posted: 08 Jul 2017 06:52 AM PDT

THE HEALING TOUCH – Sunday July 9^th 2017

Memorise: And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:3

Read: Matthew 8:1-3 (King James Version)

8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

^8:2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

^8:3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 22-23, Ezekiel 4, Hymn: Sing hymn 5

MESSAGE:

There are many methods the God of all flesh uses in healing people. A leper once came to Jesus saying, "Lord, I know You can heal me, but I don't know if it is Your will." Jesus touched him and said, "It is My will to heal you; be clean", and immediately, he received his healing. Through this encounter, we understand that the God of all flesh can heal you by His touch. Some people find it easy to believe that God can touch them spiritually, but they cannot believe that He can touch them physically. Yes, God still touches people physically today. Many year ago, we went to church on a Sunday morning, and after the service, we returned home to rest before going back to church for workers' meeting in the afternoon. In those days, if you were late for the workers' meeting, you would be in serious trouble with my father-in-the-Lord. Open Heavens 9 July 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- The Healing Touch. On this particular day, after the morning service, we came back home to rest. We decided that nobody would lie down lest we slept. Afterwards, I went to pray in my room and fell asleep in the process. Then all of a sudden, I felt a strong hand pressing my leg down and I awoke. I glanced at my wristwatch and screamed because we were almost running late! I thought my wife woke me up, so I went to find her to thank her. However, when I got downstairs, expecting to meet her ready and waiting, I met her and the children fast asleep! I then realised I had received a divine touch. Today, the Lord will touch you physically and deliver your healing to you in Jesus' Name.

On the other hand, the God of all flesh can just speak a word, and you will receive your healing. Hence, Psalm 107:20 says,

"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

When the Lord Jesus Christ was going to heal Bartimaeus, He did not touch him but only spoke a word, and the blind man received his sight (Mark 10:52). He still does this today. During a Holy Ghost Service we had, the Lord announced that a woman with cervical cancer was in the congregation, and that the cancer was gone, adding that she should go and confirm with her doctor. Indeed, such a woman was there, and she received the word. She went to her doctor for a check-up, and she discovered that the cancer was indeed gone. Are you sick? Receive your healing now in Jesus' Name.

Action Point

Thank God for the success of pass Holy Ghost Conventions. Pray that this year's Convention will be the greatest ever experienced.

Open Heavens 8 July 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Permanent Peace is Possible

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 08:20 AM PDT

PERMANENT PEACE IS POSSIBLE- Saturday July 8^th 2017

Memorise: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

Read: Matthew 14:22-33 (King James Version)

^14:22And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

^14:23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

^14:24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

^14:25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

^14:26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

^14:27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

^14:28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

^14:29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

^14:30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

^14:31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

^14:32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

^14:33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 20-21, Ezekiel 3:16-27, Hymn: Sing hymn 2

MESSAGE:

The Blood of Jesus Christ is a very potent weapon available to us today (Revelation 12:11). The moment you surrender your life to Jesus, victory comes, because the same Blood that cleanses from all sins also conquers Satan. However, if the Blood does not first wash away your sins, you will remain a slave to the devil (Colossians 1:14). It is only after the Blood has worked on you through salvation that the same Blood gives you victory over Satan. For 13 years, I was running from witches and wizard, and then I met the Lord Jesus Christ. He saved me, and ever since then, no witch anywhere in the world can come close to me, because I am covered with the Blood of Jesus.

Moreover, apart from the Blood of Jesus that is made available to us after salvation, peace that surpasses human understanding is another benefit that comes in after the door of salvation is opened. In fact, while there is no peace to the wicked, peace like a river is made available to you if you are saved. Jesus, in John 14:27, says to you:

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

The One who comes into your heart the moment you are born again is the Prince of Peace; you therefore must experience peace in all areas of your life if you have received Him. I pray for you that as you receive Jesus into your life today or draw closer to Him, you will experience peace in every area of your life in Jesus' Name. Have you been troubled? I speak peace from the Prince of Peace into your troubled situation now! Open Heavens 8 July 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Permanent Peace is Possible. Peace that passes all understanding shall locate you today! In addition, the peace that you receive from the Prince of Peace can be retained for life. Yes, you can have permanent peace. How? Isaiah 26:3 says,

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

If you have Jesus, you have peace. Anytime you make Jesus your focus, your peace is sustained, and if Jesus remains your focus, you will have permanent peace irrespective of the raging storms of life. While Peter focused on Jesus, he could come out of the troubled boat and walk on water towards Jesus, but the moment he shifted his focus to the wind, he began to sink. What has been your focus? Through the peace that Jesus gives, you can now determine the quality of peace you experience and for how long it will last. Set your focus on the Prince of Peace today.

Action Point

Pray for every family that is experiencing storms to encounter the Prince of Peace and to receive His peace that is beyond understanding.

Open Heavens 7 July 2017 - What's Your Response?

Posted: 06 Jul 2017 01:52 PM PDT

Open Heavens 7 July 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- What’s Your Response?

Posted: 06 Jul 2017 09:24 AM PDT

WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE? – Friday July 7^th 2017

Memorise: And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. 1^st Samuel 24:5

Read: 2^nd Samuel 12:7-13 (King James Version)

^12:7And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

^12:8And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

^12:9Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

^12:10Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

^12:11Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

^12:12For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

^12:13And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 18-19, Ezekiel 2:8-3:15, Hymn: Sing hymn 6

MESSAGE:

One day, after being on the run for his dear life for quite some time, David finally had the chance to kill King Saul, his persecutor (1^st Samuel 24:2-6). However, instead of doing this, he chose to simply cut off a part of Saul's robe, to show that he harboured no ill feelings towards the king. Nevertheless, after carrying out this seemingly magnanimous act, his conscience pricked him. 1^st Samuel 24:5 says,

"And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt."

His heart asked him, "David, what have you done? Have you forgotten it is written, "Touch not my anointed?" He immediately lost his peace. That is the response of a true sheep belonging to the Great Shepherd. In addition to finding it easy to obey, a sheep that strays from the fold of the Great Shepherd will have his or her heart smitten. Open Heavens 7 July 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- What's Your Response? On the other hand, goats are hard-hearted. Are you a sheep or a goat? How many times have you spoken against the anointed of God without feeling any remorse? You mean you can sit down and discuss an anointed man of God for hours, pulling him apart and highlighting what you call his faults, forgetting that it's only before his Maker that he stands or falls? Is your conscience dead or alive? The conscience of a goat is dead but that of a sheep is alive.

In today's Bible reading, when Prophet Nathan visited David and narrated to him the story of a rich man with many sheep, who used his poor neighbour's only lamb to entertain his visitors, David was furious. He declared that whoever carried out his act must die. Then the prophet looked at him and said, "You are the man!" Remember that Nathan was talking to the king of the land. If you expose a goat, he or she will be angry and pounce on you. If David had been a goat, immediately he was confronted with his sin, he would have ordered his guards to cut off the prophet's head. If he wanted to be subtle, he could lure the prophet to attend a private dinner for them to discuss the matter further, where his wine would have been poisoned. However, what did David do? He said, "I am finished!", and he began to confess his sins. What is your attitude when God's word hits you? Do you say, "This pastor is preaching about me again? I wonder who reports me to him!" Is your attitude the type that says, "Preacher, mind your own business?" How often have you broken down to weep over your atrocities? How many times have you cried to God for mercy, not caring about those people who are around you? Are you a goat or a sheep?

Key Point:

If you are a sheep, it will show in your response to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Open Heavens 6 July 2017: Thursday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Choose Wisely

Posted: 05 Jul 2017 08:55 AM PDT

CHOOSE WISELY – Thursday July 6^th 2017

Memorise: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2^nd Corinthians 5:11

Read: Luke 23:39-43 (King James Version)

^23:39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

^23:40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

^23:41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

^23;42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

^23:43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 17, Ezekiel 1:22-2:7, Hymn: Sing hymn 11

MESSAGE:

"Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences."

2^nd Corinthians 5:11

The reality of an eternity in Hell fire is the reason why we continue to preach relentlessly to people about the need to give their lives to Christ right now! Hell is worse than any kind of suffering ever known to man. It is worse than any World War or nuclear holocaust. It is worse than any type of plague, be it Ebola, HIV, leprosy or the Black Death. It is even worse than death itself. Why, you may ask? If a believer in Christ is tortured to death for his or her faith in Christ, he or she will be in pains for a while, but eventually, the pain will stop and he or she will be taken into glory. Such a fellow would have moved from extreme pain to extreme joy, glory and peace in Heaven. In contrast, anyone who goes to Hell will burn in fire day and night. After burning for a billion years, his or her sufferings will just be beginning. Worse still, after the Great White Throne Judgement, the inhabitants of Hell will be moved into the Lake of Fire, where they will go through the worst of torment and will keep burning without being consumed. Revelation 20:14 says,

"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

Whatever you can do to skip Hell, do it today because nobody knows tomorrow!

No religion can save you from Hell. No form of self-righteousness, personal belief or positive thinking can save you either. Open Heavens 6 July 2017: Thursday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Choose Wisely. In fact, John 3:18 says that some people will be banished to Hell not because they did not attend church but because they did not genuinely give their live to Christ. You have a choice to make here. When the Lord Jesus Christ was being nailed to the cross, two thieves were equally nailed to their own crosses on either side of Him. One of them said to the Lord, "I thought you called yourself a prophet, how come you cannot deliver yourself and deliver us also?" The second thief rebuked him saying, "While on your way to Hell, you are still talking like this?" Then he turned to Jesus and said "Lord, I don't know if it is still possible, but when You get to your Kingdom, please remember me." The first thief chose to go from the cross to Hell, and he got his wish, while the second chose to go from the cross to Paradise and it was so. What is your choice today?

Open Heavens 5 July 2017: Wednesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Limited to sweet experiences?

Posted: 04 Jul 2017 08:47 AM PDT

LIMITED TO SWEET EXPERIENCES? – Wednesday July 5^th 2017

Memorise: And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2^nd Corinthians 1:7

Read: Deuteronomy 8:2-7 (KJV)

^8:2And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

^8:3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

^8:4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

^8:5Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

^8:6Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lordthy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

^8:7For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

Hebrews 2:9-10 (KJV)

^2:9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

^2:10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 15-16, Ezekiel 1:1-21, Hymn: Sing hymn 14

MESSAGE:

Jesus is the Great Shepherd and He wants His sheep to eat and drink from that which He provides for them. If you hunger and thirst after righteousness, you will be filled. In other words, you will experience the right growth in the Kingdom when you are receptive, and not selective of what the Master gives. Every good word of God counts in helping you grow to become like Jesus. In the Church of God today, under the guise of "grace" or "liberty" found in the New Testament, a lot of funny things are happening. Some people choose to read only the New Testament, and call the Old Testament stale or outdated. Some others choose to read only specific portions of the Bible that speaks of blessings, while they never go to the portions on sacrifice and curses. Some people never want to see passages on tithes and offering and other forms of giving, believing that offerings do not go to God but to men. Open Heavens 5 July 2017: Wednesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Limited to sweet experiences? Some of such people prefer to donate their tithes to the poor and needy, rather then to pay it as tithes in their church. Such tendencies will definitely affect their growth and hinder them from enjoying God's full blessings.

"And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life"

Mark 10:29-30

From the above scripture, we see that the Lord Jesus Christ did not promise us a life free of hardship. Anyone who goes through life experiencing only pleasure, abundance and happiness without any moment of sorrow, sadness, denial, lack or disappointment will not develop a strong, well balanced character. [Wednesday July 5, 2017]. Such a person will be vain, will lack compassion for others, and be conceited. God allows us to go through both the ups and downs of life so that we can truly fit into His plan for us. A one-sided spiritual diet leads to uneven spiritual growth. Romans 5:3 says that tribulations helps us develop patience. Hebrews 2:10 tells us that our Lord Jesus Christ Himself was made perfect through sufferings. How can you then become perfect without undergoing hardship? 1^st Peter 4:13 says that when we partake of Christ's sufferings, we shall also partake of His glory that shall be revealed. Don't let anyone deceive you; you need to take in every truth of God's word in order to become who you were created to be.

Key Point

God allows His children to go through difficulties in order to develop their character.
