*OPEN HEAVEN 14 JANUARY 2024: [SUNDAY] DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE*

*TOPIC: IT SHALL BE WELL VI*

*MEMORISE:* Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee. *John 5:14*

*BIBLE READING: John 5:1-14*

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Genesis 44-46

*MESSAGE:*
In continuation of the discussion about God’s declaration that it shall be well with the righteous *(Isaiah 3: 10)*, it is important to note that the state of a person’s health is another indicator of the fellow’s wellness. An individual that is always in and out of the hospital because of health challenges cannot say that it is truly well with him or her. I declare in the mighty name of Jesus that from today onward, you will begin to live in sound health.

The story in our Bible reading for today reveals the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ and also shows that sin can be a source for sickness. This is the reason the Holy Spirit through the writer of *Acts 10:38* said:

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

For you to live a sickness-free life in this new year, you must desist from any sin that might exist in your life. Confess them to God, ask for His forgiveness, and genuinely repent from them. If you do not genuinely repent of any sin that exists in your life, you are setting yourself up for great torment by the devil, as Jesus told the sick fellow in our memory verse for today.

Jesus gave a parable about putting new wine into old wine bottles in *Luke 5:36-38*. You cannot receive a miracle from God and remain in a sinful state; it is like putting new wine in an old wine bottle. As Jesus warned in His parable, such a person will surely be destroyed.

In our Bible reading today, Jesus pronounced healing on the sick fellow and, after a while, upon seeing him again, gave him a warning that he should not commit sin again. A lesson here for us to learn is that it is not enough for a fellow to receive his or her healing or any other miracle and go about committing sin afterwards. Such a fellow will definitely lose the healing or miracle. As I have pronounced healing and sound health upon you today, may the Lord keep you away from sin so that you will not lose your miracles to it, in Jesus’ name.

*KEY POINT:*
Sin exposes someone to the demons of infirmity. Repent and be healed, live holy that you may not lose your healing and miracles.

*HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOUR*

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Refrain:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief. [Refrain]

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. [Refrain]

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? [Refrain]

*Good morning, don't loose ur healing and miracles through sin! Do have a glorious Sunday Service!!*

*OPEN HEAVEN 3 JANUARY 2024: [WEDNESDAY] DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE*

*TOPIC: NEW YEAR RESOLUTION II*

*MEMORISE:* Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: *Matthew 7:7*

*BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 2:19-22*

19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as
my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith
the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Genesis 9-12

*MESSAGE:*
I started sharing what you may call my ‘New Year resolutions’ yesterday and I will be discussing the second resolution on my list today. This year, I will open my mouth and tell God exactly how things are with me. I have discovered from
experience that many people have become so good at pretending that all is well when all is not, even before God, the One who knows everything.

In our Bible reading today, the men of Jericho revealed the true state of their city to Elisha and God used the prophet to put an end to the problem in their land.
Come to think of it however, Elijah, the spiritual father of Elisha, walked among the people of Jericho
for years, but it was not recorded in the Bible that they informed him of the problems they were facing. They suffered for so long because of their silence! This year, I have decided that I am not going to suffer in silence. I am going to tell the Almighty God
what my problems are; I am going to tell Him everything because I know that He will solve them all.
I will not wait until I am about to lose things that are precious to me before I cry out like the widow in *2 Kings 4:1-7* did.

I visited one of my uncles many years ago and his wife served me pounded yam about the size of a baby’s fist. If I had intended to stay for one day, I would have kept my mouth shut, but I was going to stay for one week and pounded yam of that size will not satisfy me at all. I was very young, and I had a healthy appetite. So, I called the woman, “Excuse me ma’am, am I welcome here?” She said, “Yes, of course you are.” I said, “In that case, this pounded yam cannot satisfy me; please let me have some more.”
She went into her bedroom, and I did not know what she told her husband, but I heard them laughing. I
couldn’t have cared less; as long as she came back with more pounded yam, I was fine.

This year, ensure that you do not pretend or form as the youths will say, before God. Tell Him exactly where the shoe hurts. Make up your mind like me to ask for His help more than ever before and He will surely answer you
*(Matthew 21:22).*

*KEY POINT:*
Stop suffering in silence, tell God all your needs this year

*HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR*

1. I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

5. I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.

*Good morning, tell God all ur needs this year! Happy Mid-Week!!*

*OPEN HEAVEN 13 DECEMBER 2023: [WEDNESDAY] DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE*

*TOPIC: DANGERS OF FAME*

*MEMORISE:* Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. *1 Samuel 15:30*

*BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 15:24-30*

24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord.

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

28 And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.

29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord thy God.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
2 Thessalonians 1-3

*MESSAGE:*
Fame is something that many people pursue without actually knowing just how dangerous it is. Once you are in the limelight, you have to become extra careful. You have to watch your every move because people are looking at you. Sometimes when we go for an event and I am to sit at the high table, my driver will say “You sit at the high table and we will sit where we can eat”. Those at the high table, though hungry, always act otherwise. Even if they eat at all, it would only be a little, with plenty of caution because all eyes are on them.

When you are famous, it is as if you are on the high table everyday of your life and believe me honestly, there is nothing like just being free to do whatever you want to do without anyone looking at you. When you are famous, you cannot even take a stroll outside or play in a public place like every other person.

One of the dangers of being famous is that people tend to forget that famous people are human beings too. I thank God that I have never been after fame so I show regularly that I am as human as anybody can be. I still occasionally buy roasted plantain on the roadside. These days it has become more difficult to do that because of the es**rt vehicles, but as often as I can, I still do, not minding who is looking at me. I am not after fame so whatever anybody thinks is their own business.

When you are famous, people expect more from you than the average person and if care is not taken, you would not want to disappoint them. Don’t pursue fame; as exciting as it may seem, it comes with a lot of problems. Fame may come as you fulfil your assignment on earth, but it should not be your goal.

Those who chase after people knowing and liking them all the time are likely to get into trouble. In our Bible reading today, King Saul got into trouble with God because he wanted to look good in the eyes of the people.

The only fellow you should live to please is God

*KEY POINT:*
Pursuing fame will land you in trouble.

*HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS*

1. Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart

Chorus
Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart

2. Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e’er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home

3. Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ

4. Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart

*Good morning, don't pursue fame and riches! Happy Mid-Week!!*

*OPEN HEAVEN 11 DECEMBER 2023: [MONDAY] DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE*

*TOPIC: EMBRACE HIS WORD COMPLETELY*

*MEMORISE:* But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. *Matthew 15:9*

*BIBLE READING: Matthew 15:7-9*

7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Colossians 1-4

*MESSAGE:*
Occasionally, particularly when I find myself amongst top academicians and theologians, they like to tell me that you can believe whatever is in the New Testament, but the Old Testament should not be believed. This is because anytime they find something in the Old Testament that is not convenient for them, they want to brush it aside. *Malachi 3:10* for example that talks about tithing is ignored by such people. They ignore *Proverbs 3:9-10* too. Then I ask them, what about *Isaiah 54:17* which says no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper? What about “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want” in *Psalm 23:1*? What about *Deuteronomy 28:13* that says you shall be head and not the tail, you shall be above only and not beneath? I encourage you to know that every Scripture is written by the Holy Spirit and every bit of it must be embraced.

Aside from Scripture, there are people who do something and say “God will understand”. The Bible does not say anywhere that God understands sin, but rather that He hates it. *Psalm 5:4* is very clear about this:

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

If you call yourself a Christian, you have to stay away from sin. *2 Timothy 2:19* says

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

If you are lukewarm, God pushes you out of Himself forcefully and if you are away from God, then you are with the devil. He says in *Revelation 3:16*
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

Don’t be lukewarm. If you jettison holiness during tough times then you are not really a child of God.

*KEY POINT:*
Your claim to Christianity is not genuine if you live holy only when it is convenient for you.

*HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE*

1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.

*Good morning, live holy at all times! Do have a great and fruitful Week ahead!!*
