Open Heavens 26 December 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Marriage helpers Posted: 22 Dec 2017 02:22 PM PST MARRIAGE HELPERS - Tuesday December 26th 2017 Memorise: "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of  spoil." Proverbs 31:11 Read: Proverbs 18:22-24 (KJV) 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. 18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Bible in one year: Proverbs 28-31, Zachariah 13:7-14:9, Sing Hymn 16 MESSAGE: On the 23rd of this month, the Lord took us to the beginning of His creation to learn that companionship is one major reason why He established the institution marriage (genesis 2:18). God does not want adults to be alone. After marriage, some people refuse to stay in the company of their spouse, giving excuses such as not being "compatible" with their spouse. open heaven. If you knew you were not compatible with your spouse, why did you venture into marriage with him or her in the first place? Sometimes, the untold underlying reason behind this incompatibility is the gap educational qualifications, social status or financial power of the couple. In such cases, God expects that the one in the advantage position in the relationship would assist the other to climb up until the gap is bridged. Your wife is your number-one companion. Some men are always in the company of other women. This is a violation of God's law on companionship. Moreover, another reason why God established marriage is to raise a permanent helper for the man and vice versa. The term 'help meet' used in Genesis 2:18 refers to adequate and appropriate help. In other words, if you obtain your wife or husband from God, you can be assured that God has given you an appropriate destiny helper. Do you know that the fortunes of some people improve tremendously after marriage? Adam could say he had a helpmate because Eve was the bone of his bone, and Flesh of his flesh (Genesis 2:21-23). If you marry the right woman God has for you, favour will suddenly reside in your home (Proverbs18:22). She will prevent waste of resources in your home and load you with good throughout you lifetime (Proverbs 31:11, Proverbs 31:12). This also applies to a woman who marries the right husband. For this reason, it is very important to go to God for your spouse, like Adam received Eve from God. If you get a spouse from God as His child, it enhances your prospects of making Heaven (1st kings 21:25). However, if you get your spouse from friends, relations, computerized match-making services, rccg open heaven. date clubs, or by your own self will, you may be getting a destroyer instead of a helper. When you have the light man as a husband, he will be crown over you and help you become what God has in store for you. Help is reciprocal. The reason why some people were plunged into 'hell' from the day their marriage started is because they refused to go to the Creator for Him to help them take that crucial decision that has the potential of determining lives and destinies. Action Point: To make the right decision on who to marry, go to the Creator of all men for help, and He will surely lead you to the right person for you. He knows all people and the contents of their hearts. Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A.

Open Heaven 25 December 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Who do you seek? Posted: 22 Dec 2017 02:00 PM PST WHO DO YOU SEEK? - Monday December 25th 2017 Memorise: "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye  seek Jesus, which was crucified." Matthew 28:5 Read: Matthew 2:1-11 (KJV) 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. Bible in one year: Proverbs 24-27, Zachariah 12:10-13:6, Sing Hymn 2 MESSAGE: What you focus on will seriously affect your ability to achieve your destiny, realize your goals and glorify God. Many children of God were focused on Jesus Christ before they became exposed to luxurious cars, mansions and exotic lifestyles , but after the Lord prospered them, They  began to ask the Lord questions as to why they should live their lives in accordance with His principles, which got them to where they are in the first place. While prosperity is good, it is only beneficial for as long as it is balanced with a lifestyle of godliness. open heaven. Prosperity that does not have Christ as its centre is vain and only a passing shadow. A beautiful mansion without Jesus is Hell, while a hut with Jesus in it is Heaven on earth. In today's Bible reading, we are told that some wise men came to seek Jesus. According to Bible scholars, these men must have traveled for at least two years before they got to their destination. They did not arrive immediately Jesus was born, as it popularly depicted. From Herod's enquiries on what time the first saw guiding star, he could calculate that Jesus could be up to two years old when the wise men arrived. This was why in an attempt to kill the child, he decreed that children who were two years old and younger be killed (Matthew 2:16). When the wise men eventually arrived at the place where Jesus was, they worshipped Him and gave Hi9m gifts. Worship is incomplete without an offering. Proverbs 13:20 says, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" If you want to be wise like these men, you will back your worship with good offering. Come before His presence with joy and singing; bring Him gifts and worship Him, and you will be glad you did. Why? Everyone who ever saw Jesus and worshipped Him benefited from it. The wise men did not travel for two years in vain. After they saw the young Jesus and offered Him gifts, their deed was immortalized. open heaven devotional 2017. For over 2000 years, their story is still being told around the world wherever the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached. Who or what would you really love to see? I want to see Jesus. After working with God for several years, Moses still asked God to show him His glory (Exodus 33:17-23). I often wondered why, before I got the revelation. Job equally had the rare privilege of seeing God (Job 42:1-6). If you search for Him and truly desire Him this Christmas season, you will surely find Him. Are you focused on the reason for the season or lost in the vanity that the world seeks? Key Point: The wise men diligently sought for Jesus and they found Him. If you also seek Him diligently, you will surely be rewarded. Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A.

Open Heavens 24 December 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Benefits of supreme love Posted: 22 Dec 2017 01:44 PM PST BENEFITS OF SUPREME LOVE - Sunday December 24th 2017 Memorise: "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he  it is that loveth me: and  he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself  to him." John 14:21 Read: John 14:20-23 (KJV)          14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Bible in one year: Proverbs 21-23, Zachariah 11:15-12:9, Sing Hymn 2       MESSAGE: One of the greatest invitations we have from the Lord Jesus is the call to love Him. In Matthew 10:37 he says,             " He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."  This invitation is not just to love Jesus, but to love him supremely. open heaven devotional 2017. It is a call to love Him above everyone who is precious to us: parents, children, family and friends. If you truly love someone, you would be ready to defend your love for that person at any cost. Sometimes, when you love two different people and the two parties are in disagreement over an issue, you will find yourself supporting the person you love more against the one you love less. When the Lord's instruction are in conflict with the beliefs of love ones, most people would choose to please their loved ones rather than obey the Lord's instructions. Do you love Jesus above everyone and everything else? Do you love him above your career, work, academic pursuits, etc? There are great benefits for those who follow Jesus supremely. First, Jesus says they will be regarded as being worthy to Him. They will be qualified to carry His banner everywhere they go, they are assured of the backing of the Most High God. Also, according to John 14:21, if you love Jesus supremely, God the Father will make you the target of His love and you will be bask in it. In addition, the Lord will manifest Himself to you. Check out all those who experience a manifestation of the Lord, like Saul of Tarsus; their lives never remained the same (1st Corinthians 15: 5-8). Furthermore, John 14:23 says, "Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." From this scripture, another benefit of you loving Jesus supremely is that both Jesus Christ and God the Father will make your heart their permanent residence. open heaven. If you experience the reality of this truth, you will enter into the realm of Heaven on earth, where no devil or demons dares to come near you (Deuteronomy 11:21). Are you satisfied with your relationship with the Godhead? Why stay where you are when you can take your love for Christ to the limits and have the Godhead fully living with you? Key Point: Love is so powerful! You can love God to the extent that He will personally come and introduce Himself to you. Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A.

Open Heaven for Today 23 December 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Marriage: companionship Posted: 20 Dec 2017 02:03 PM PST MARRIAGE: COMPANIONSHIP - Saturday December 23rd 2017 Memorise: "And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone;  I will make him an help meet for him." Genesis 2:18 Read: Genesis 2:15-18 (KJV) 2:15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 2:18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Bible in one year: Proverbs 17-20, Zachariah 11:1-14, Sing Hymn 16 MESSAGE: Quite a number of people today enter into marriage for all the wrong seasons, which is why we need  to ask ourselves this question: Why marriage? The first reason is companionship. To full understand God's purpose, let's take look at the beginning. After God created the firmament, the seas, all the plants and animals, He afterwards made man in the Garden of the Eden. However, as He watched life unfold, He realized that of all the creatures, it was only Adam who had no one of his kind. The trees could produce through their seeds; the animals also had male and female species and thereby multiply. Adam only was the lone ranger in this earthly paradise. Yes, he was in charge. Agreed he was the god of the whole earth as that time. Indeed, all animals, birds and fish submitted to him, and true he had great relationship with them all, but God still saw that there was an issue of loneliness with Adam that no pet or animal could solve. In Genesis 2:18, the Bible says, "And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."  God categorically said it is not good for a man to be alone. It is great to go through bachelorhood and spinsterhood during your youthful days. It is an experience you may never get back after going past that stage in life. Nevertheless, at some point, God wants you to be married. He wants you to have worthy companion. Today, in many homes, companionship is still lacking even after marriage. This is quite unfortunate! Couples marry and stay far apart from each other, this is recipe for disaster and negates basis for marriage in the first place. A marriage relationship cannot be what it was meant to be as long as the vital ingredient of companionship is missing. For this reason, if a couple who have been married for 30 years become separated  for some 10 to 15 years, by the time they come together again, they would be like total strangers to each other. Are you married? Is your spouse your companion? Some people are ashamed to attend social outing with their wives; why then did you marry her? Do you spend time in each other's company? Do you enjoy the company of your spouse or do you prefer to keep company with other people? Your legally wedded spouse should be your ideal companion! Is it so with you?   Key point: Pets are fast replacing human spouses as companions! We are really in perilous times. Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A.

Open Heaven 22 December 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Working something out Posted: 20 Dec 2017 01:58 PM PST WORKING SOMETHING OUT - Friday December 22nd 2017 Memorise: "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 Read: Genesis 50:15-21 (KJV) 50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. 50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. Bible in one year: Proverbs 13-16, Zachariah 10, Sing Hymn 4 MESSAGE: Not every seemingly negative situation is as bad as it looks or sound. In fact, for those called according to God's purpose, who love God and are His will, every event works to deliver something good to them (Romans 8:28). This is why we are told that we walk by faith and not by sight (2nd Corinthians 5:7). If you view every incident with your limited understanding, you will be deceived. God can bring out something good from the evil works of your enemies, and in the end, they will end up being fooled, deceived or misguided. If you walk with the Holy Spirit allow Him shed His light on events happening around you, you will see what He is working out for you, and you will react differently to seemingly unpleasant things. Instead of sorrowing or being aggrieved, will be rejoicing and celebrating. Why? It is because you have begun to see as the Holy Spirit sees. "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 Beloved, if you are saved and standing in God's will, please know that whatever God allows to come your way is your good. In the various situations of life you are confronted with, God is working out something for you. He is always in control. The devil may brag, shake the whole place and get everyone afraid, but God is the one at the helm affairs. He is the One holding the rudder of the ship. He is fully in control and He never stops working. As the devil is scheming, God tempers with his plans. rccg open heaven. By the time his plans materialize, instead of working against you originally designed, the devil will see them working for your good and in your favour. Even in very bad situations, God can still work out something good. Can you imagine anything good ever coming out of Samson's fall? After he fell and was arrested, he was shaved, blinded and made an object of the mockery by the philistines (Judges 16:17-30). However, when he repented, God tinkered with his situation, and at the end of it all, the enemies he killed in his pitiable state where more than all those he killed while he had his eyes and freedom. Beloved, just submit to God in whatever situation you find yourself and you will be shocked at what great feat God can still achieve through you in that situation. Prayer Point: Father, I thank You for always causing all things to work together for my good. Open Heavens Daily Devotional Lessons was written by Pastor E.A.
