Open Heavens 11 July 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Leave a Mark

Posted: 10 Jul 2017 08:05 AM PDT

LEAVE A MARK – Tuesday July 11^th 2017

Memorise: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2^nd Thessalonians 1:12

Read: Acts 19:8-10 (KJV)

^19:8And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

^19:9But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

^19:10And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 26-28, Ezekiel 5:13-6:7, Hymn Sing hymn 13

MESSAGE:

If you will be used by God to perform signs and wonders in these last days, you must have the heart of a missionary or church planter. In the days of the early Church, although there was a church in Jerusalem, Philip left his base and went to plant another church in Samaria (Acts 8:5). If God sees you as an incurable church planter, He will gladly use you in the miraculous. Take for instance Paul the Apostle: today you would find him in Corinth, tomorrow he would be in Galatia and the next time, you would hear of him being in Colossae. As he travelled around these countries and cities, he kept planting churches. He hardly visited a city without leaving a mark behind for God's Kingdom. No wonder the Bible records that the kind of miracles God performed through Paul were quite outstanding. Acts 19:11-12 says,

"And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."

There are some lessons we can learn from the experience of Paul in this regard. The first is that having the opportunity to travel around the globe is a great privilege. Open Heavens 11 July 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Leave a Mark. There are people who enjoy travelling from one country to another. There are some people who are required by their official assignment or business transactions to move across countries. Some go to other places for school or simply on vacation. Whatever the reason for your travels, it is a great privilege. Every Christian traveller is expected to leave a godly mark behind in the places he or she visits. How can you visit a country for a week or two and not share the gospel of Jesus Christ with at least one person? You as a true believer in Christ should be able to have converts in the different countries you visit, and if you are there for a minimum of three to six months, you should be able to start a house fellowship, or even a church. By doing this, you will be opening the door for God to use you for signs and wonders. Have you travelled away from home without winning souls for Christ or establishing a house fellowship or church for His Name? Are you ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ? Use the opportunity or your travels across different locations to glorify God. Travelling is meaningful if you can leave a mark of God's Kingdom behind.

Key Point:

One way of becoming a father of many nations is to have converts in every country you visit.

Open Heavens 10 July 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- The Lord Our Refuge

Posted: 09 Jul 2017 07:52 AM PDT

THE LORD OUR REFUGE – Monday July 10^th 2017

Memorise: But he passing through the midst of them went his way, Luke 4:30

Read: Luke 4:16-30 (King James Version)

^4:16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

^4:17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

^4:18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

^4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

^4:20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

^4:21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

^4:22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

^4:23And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

^4:24And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

^4:25But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

^4:26But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

^4:27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

^4:28And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

^4:29And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

^4:30But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 24-25, Ezekiel 5:1-12, Hymn: Sing hymn 9

MESSAGE:

God has several names and titles that will definitely benefit His children who have an understanding of the purpose and power in these names. It is one thing to know the names and titles of God and another thing to have the revelation behind them. When you receive the revelation of a particular name or title of God, you are brought into a covenant relationship with Him on the basis of that name, and as a result, you gain access to the benefits that such names or titles confer. May God reveal Himself to you by His Names today!

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Psalm 46:1

One of God's powerful titles is that He is our Refuge. A refuge is a kind of shelter or a place of protection from harm, danger, trouble or pursuit of the enemy. Why is God a refuge? Open Heavens 10 July 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- The Lord Our Refuge. It is because He knows that in this evil world, people will encounter lots of dangerous situations and circumstances at some point in their lives. Do you know that even our Lord Jesus Christ faced dangers many times? However, because God the Father was His refuge, He was protected from them all. One instance of this is recorded in today's Bible reading. After hitting the people of his childhood town of Nazareth with the truth, they became very angry with Him and decided to kill Him. Luke 4:29 says,

"And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him into the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong."

This was just one of the several failed attempts made on the life of Jesus Christ until He voluntarily surrendered Himself to die at Calvary (John 10:17-18). From today, every attempt on your life shall fail in Jesus' Name! You shall not die before your appointed time! Every plan of premature death against you and members of your family shall be disappointed! God is our Refuge because of the dangerous and evil times we may have to live through. One fellow who knew God as his Refuge was David. Boy, did he face great storms! Although his eyes saw troubles and great dangers, he could still say that while passing through treacherous valleys, he would not be afraid (Psalm 23:4). He could say this because he knew God as his Refuge. God is our Refuge because He knows that the enemy will definitely pursue His children, and so they will need a place to hide. From today, you will hide safely in the Lord! The Lord will be a sure Refuge for you in Jesus' Name!

Prayer Point:

Father, in these perilous times, hide me under the shadow of Your wings.

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.
