26/09/2020

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2020.

THEME: CHALLENGED, NOT DEFEATED.

MEMORISE:

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 Corinthians 4:17

READ: 2 Corinthians 4:8-12

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

MESSAGE:

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” John 15:18

You must be aware that the moment you say yes to Jesus, you have signed up for persecution. Buy mentioning His name alone, you could develop enemies. Yet, He doesn’t want you to worry because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). If as a Christian, you don’t go through any persecution, you may need to check your salvation. Jesus said:
“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Luke 6:26

Every true Christian will face persecution: at the office, in the family, amongst friends or with strangers. What matters is how you handle it. Some go back to the world because they cannot stand while some others get stronger after going through it. Which category are you in?

Be deliberate about increasing your spiritual strength. Study your Bible more, pray more and be regular at fellowship with brethren. This is because surely, your spiritual strength will be tested someday (Proverbs 24:10). On such a day, it is how much of God that you have in you that will determine your action.

Those who pray in tongue regularly are supernaturally empowered to withstand any form of persecution. This is why Paul did not relent in preaching the gospel despite all the persecution he went through; he remained steadfast. Peter denied Jesus before he was baptized in the Holy Ghost, but as soon as the Holy Ghost came upon him, he endured persecution and described it as a good thing (Acts 5:41).

No matter how much the devil challenges you, do not yield. No matter how much you have been threatened to accept bribe to manipulate figures, stand strong. As long as you stand with Christ, you would never be defeated. He has already overcome the world.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, give me strength to withstand any persecution the devil brings my way in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 8-10.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 24: PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOR.
1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
o Refrain:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

2. Let me at Thy 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.

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 3:1-10
[1]And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
[2]And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
[3]And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
[4]That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
[5]And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
[6]And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
[7]Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
[8]And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
[9]Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
[10]And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

*MEMORY VERSE*: "And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth". 1 Samuel 3:10

*INTRODUCTION:* You cannot hear, if there is no call from somewhere or someone. Also, you can only answer to a call that you hear. Throughout the days of the bible, God spoke to His people in diverse ways. In contemporary times, God still speaks. The basic questions are "how does God speaks?" and how do we hear?

*TEXT REVIEW: 2 Samuel 3:1-10*

*4. Question:* How did God speak to men during the ministry of Jesus on earth?
*Answer*: Through the ministry of Jesus, God spoke directly to us because:
i. Jesus "words are full of the Spirit and life" (John 6:63). Hebrews 1:2 says in these last days God has spoken to us by His Son.
ii. The "last day" is the current dispensation-the church age.

*5. Question*: How did God speak to men after the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ?
*Answer*:
i. Under the inspiration of the Holy Sprit, some of the apostles of Christ were authorised by God to speak and record God's words to the church so that all of the church can truly hear from God.
ii. We now hear from God through His written Word, which is the bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
iii. A pastor's instruction from God's word is one way we hear from God today (Jeremiah 3:15).
iv. A friend's advice, tied to Scripture, is another way we can hear from God (2 Corinthians 13:1).
v. A directive issued by a God-ordained authority figure is another way we hear from God (Hebrews 13:17).

*Answer*:
i. God can speak to us through audible voice (Acts 9:3-5).
ii. Inner witness (Acts 27:19-12).

iv. Dreams and visions (1 Kings 3:5; Acts 10:2-2).
v. God's anointed servants (2Kings 20:1,5).

*7. Question:* What is God's ultimate means of speaking to His people in the dispensation?
*Answer*: Through His written word, the Holy Scriptures, and every other means of hearing God should conform to the written word.

i. Consistent fellowship with God in the place of prayers, studying of Scriptures, service, etc ( Luke 18:1; 2 Timothy 2:15).
ii. Obedience to God's voice in little matters enhances the ability of a believer to hear more from God. (Genesis 12:1, 13:14).
iii. Ultimately, the voice you hear must be substantiated in the scriptures for confirmation (Acts 17:11).

*CLASS ACTIVITY 2*: Students should discuss why it seems difficult to hear God speak nowadays.

*SUMMARY*: It is crucial for every believer to know how God speaks in this dispensation in order to clearly discern His voice.

*CONCLUSION*: God is still in the business of speaking to His children (Psalms 62:11). We need to learn how to hear from Him and obey His voice (John 10:4-5, 27).

*EVALUATION*: Teacher should ask the students to highlight the conditions to be fulfilled in order to hear from God.

*CLOSING PRAYER*: Father, let me hear from you clearly.

*ASSIGNMENT*: Mention five (5) ways God can speak to you as a believer.

I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth.

2. O Sunday School, on the Lord's day,

OPENING PRAYER: Father, teach me to love like you do.

MEMORY VERSE: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned". Song of Solomon 8:7

BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 22:35-40
[35]Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36]Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37]Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38]This is the first and great commandment.
[39]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

*INTRODUCTION:* The bible says that "love is of God" and "God is love" (1John 4:7-8). In other words, love is a fundamental characteristics you of who God is. Everything God does is driven and influenced by His love (John 3:16). Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasised this by identifying the commandments to love God and the first and general law, after which He declared the directive to love fellow human beings as the second most important law (Matt. 22:25-40). The Holy Spirit sheds more light on the link between these two aspects of love (1John 4:20).
In Song of Solomon 8:7, love is said to be unquenchable and has more worth than all of one's possessions because it satisfies like nothing else can.

*TEXT REVIEW: Matthew 22:35-40*
*A*. A lawyer (one of the Pharisees) asked Jesus a tempting question: "Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" - vs 36.
*B*. Jesus responded by saying:
i. .....……….......…..................... vs 37-38
ii. …………….......….................... vs 39
iii. ………………...........................vs 40

*LESSON OUTLINES*
*LESSON OUTLINE 1. LOVE TOWARDS GOD*
*1. Love is reciprocal in the sense that:*
*A*. Our love for God is related to the fact that God first loved us (1 John 4:19).

*B*. It is also related to our obedience of Him (1 John 5:3; John 14:15).
*C*. God's love for us enables us to obey Him freely, without the burden or guilt or the fear of punishment (1John 4:18).

*2*. To love God requires*:
*A*. Knowing Him and that knowledge begins with His word (1 John 2:5).
*B*. Worshiping and praising Him only (Exodus 20:3).
*C*. Making Him our priority (Mark 12:30).
*D*. Desiring Him: yearning for His righteousness, His word, and His grace (Psalm 42:1).
*E* Obeying Him (John 14:15, 23; 15:10; 1 John 5:3). However, this is not a matter of merely following rules and registering good deeds. It is about having God's love written permanently on our hearts (Deuteronomy 6:5).

*CLASS ACTIVITY 1*: Class should discuss why people people find it difficult to reciprocate God's love.

*LESSON OUTLINE 2: LOVE TOWARDS FELLOW HUMANS*
*A*. We can express our love for God through those who are created in His image - our fellow humans (1 John 4:20; Mark 12:31).
God's kind of love is that which gives to those who did not deserve it including our enemies (Romans 5:8; Luke 6:32-35).
The bible says we are to love others the way God loves us (1 John 4:7).
We are to love the family of God (Romans 12:10).
As we show benevolent and selfless love, we reflect God's love to a lose and dying world.
*B*. One practical way to love others is to imagine ourselves in their shoes (Luke 6:31).
*C*. Loving others does not mean agreeing with everything they say or do, not does it mean acting in ways that always gain their approval.
*D*. Loving our neighborhoods means attending to their needs both physical and spiritual (Luke 10:29-37).
*E*. We love our neighborhood best when we share God's truth with them. Jesus alone can save (John 14:6; Acts 4:12), and He alone can meet people's every need.
*F*. We love our neighborhood out of an overflow of God's love for us and as a way of demonstrating our love towards God (1 John 4:7-12; Col. 4:5-6; 1 Peter 3:15-16).

*CLASS ACTIVITY 2*: Class should extract the key lesson from the biblical story of the Samaritan recorded in Luke 10:30-35.

*SUMMARY*: Love God and love your neighbour as yourself.

*CONCLUSION*: The love towards our neighbours is an evidence of love towards God. Let the love of God fill your heart. (Romans 5:5).

*EVALUATION*: Teacher should ask the students to explain how believers are expected to love one another.

*CLOSING PRAYER*: Father, let my love for You and my fellow human beings never fade away.

*ASSIGNMENT*: Mention five (5) ways believers can demonstrate love for God and their fellow humans respectively.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SATURDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2020.

THEME: BECOMING AN EXEMPLARY LEADER III.

MEMORISE:

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12

READ: Genesis 11:4-5

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

MESSAGE:

We have seen that if you want your followers to have one language, then you must ensure the vision is big and clearly articulated from the onset.

If your vision is to ensure there is a restroom in every building in your city, people may not take you seriously as it may appear too simple a task. However, if your goal is audacious like that of Barack Obama- the first black President of the United States of America, the people would follow you with all their heart.

God-given vison usually seem impossible to achieve; however, He is able to fulfil whatever He has promised (Romans 4:21). A vision worth pursuing is that which appears impossible to achieve. If for nothing else, people will follow to see if it will actually be achieved.

One day in 1988, I announced we were going to hold a crusade in Lagos where four million people would be in attendance. It really looked impossible, but at the end, we discovered over six million people attended. Of course, while many did come to be part of the big vision, some came to see if we would actually have the projected attendance. People were so many that not all could see or hear what was happening on the altar, but they stayed until the end because it was a vision that was worth becoming a part of.

The crowd attracted international media and ever since, we have had gatherings with even larger numbers by God’s grace. I know the power of God has always drawn people to our programmes; however, it is proven that if your vision appears impossible, you will attract attention. The vision of the people in Genesis 11:5 was so big that it got God’s attention.

“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.”

Can your vision attract God’s attention? If people don’t see your vision as impossible, then you need to rethink it.

KEY POINT:

The vision worth following is one that seems impossible to achieve.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Haggai 1-2.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 29: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
