USING THE DOWNTRODDEN Wednesday 12 January

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” (1 Cor. 1:27).

READ: 1 Samuel 22:1-2

The content of the heart has a way of determining whether an individual will be used by God, and the extent to which he will be used. David’s heart sought after God to a point that God sought and found him (Ps. 42:1). Is your heart panting after God today? He will discover you in Jesus name. Moreover, God takes pleasure in using unpopular and insignificant people. Are you treated with disdain as if you were the remnant of planet earth? Rejoice! You are the type of person God likes to use. “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” (1 Cor. 1:27). It is not by mistake God chose you. It was deliberate. Your choice was strategic; God left those who were better qualified for you. He did this to score a point and to make a great statement with your life. May the Lord score a huge point and make a big statement with your life from today!

When God chose Elijah in 1Kings 17, his family was so insignificant that no mention was made of his father’s name. Yet, God wrought great things through him. Are you from an unknown background? By the time the Lord is through with you, you will come to limelight. Similarly, God used a housemaid to link a General with his miracle healing (2 Kings 5:1-14), He can also use houseboys. In 1 kings 17:8-16, a penniless, one-meal-left widow was used to feed God’s servant during a period of famine. The beautiful thing is that the destitute or impoverished person, who allows God to use him or her, will definitely have a taste of what’s on the other side of poverty—abundance!

Are you poor, weak or uneducated? God can use you for His glory. In addition, God can use anyone that is distressed, indebted, dissatisfied or neglected. When such a category of men came to David, he was able to make army generals and war veterans of them. What are the burdens in your life that make you think God cannot use you? Come to Jesus today, drop the problems at His feet and take your rest (Matt. 11:28). Immediately, you will take on His easy yoke and begin to change your world. You were created to impact your world! Are you allowing your challenges limit you?

KEY POINT:
Do not allow your challenges to limit you.

Bible in One year: 1Cor. 7-9

BENEFITS OF UNITY Sunday 27 November

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 18:19) READ: Acts 2:1-4 U nity is a powerful force in the universe. However, uniting against God, His Word or His children causes God to arise in defence of His Name. This is the other side of power of unity. Barring this, unity can accomplish almost anything on the face of the earth. In Genesis 11:5-6, God said that if the people of the earth were left with one language and as united as they were in building the city and tower, they will be unstoppable. The united are unstoppable. Unity is a powerful tool for achieving plans and purposes. But if operated in righteousness within the Christian fold, it is even more powerful. “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it sha

YOUR VOICE SHALL BE HEARD Wednesday 26 October

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.” (Psalm 18:44). READ: Psalm 18:43-45 W hen Bartimaeus was steps away from his breakthrough, the crowd around him shouted him down. But by the grace of God, he doubled his efforts and cried out the more. He simply told the crowd: ‘If you think you have heard noise you have not heard anything yet’. The reality is that if you need help and send a faint cry in the midst of a crowd, they will want to shut you up. But if your cry is unparalleled, defying the voices of the opposition, there would be a general consensus by the crowd for you to be attended to, at least so that they can have their peace. This season, by the mercy of God, there will be a meeting of the crowd hindering your blessing and their consensus would be that you receive immediate attention. Another lesson from this story is that while peop
