GOD CONTROLS WHAT IS HEARD Monday 30 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice” (Ps. 51:8).

READ: Exodus 12:29-32

Apart from using any means or object-birds, fish, lepers, neighbours and even an enemy to accomplish His promise—God controls who hears what. He determines who hears a dirge or a joyful song. In Exodus 12:29-32, God visited the home of every Egyptian, killed their firstborns, and caused them to hear dirge. The whole nation was plunged into mourning in one night. It was a time to wail bitterly. Meanwhile, He caused the Israelites to hear the shout of freedom. This season, your enemies will hear a dirge and they will be forced to let go. Our God is simply awesome. He can compel every house in a city, nation or throughout the world to respond in a particular way. He touched the Egyptians in a way they would never forget; they had no choice but to dance to His will. If God is asking or pleading with you to do something, do not think He is a weakling. The fact that God allows men to exercise their freewill in taking certain crucial decisions, especially in choosing whether to serve Him or not, does not make Him a weakling. If He wants to compel you to be saved, all he has to do is to touch you in a very sensitive area of your life and you would come running, begging for His salvation. Why He does not do so always is because He respects the freewill He has given to us and wants to know how you would use that power. Use it wisely! Even though He is the all-powerful God, He is fully in control of His power.

In 2 kings 7:1-20, in order to bring His promised abundance to pass, God amplified the sound of the feet of four lepers and made the Syrians to hear what caused them to flee for their lives, leaving everything they had. Verse 6 says, “For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of Hittites, and the kings of Egyptians to come upon us”. God used the harmless sauntering of four helpless lepers to make their enemies to hear the attack of those they feared. This season, as you praise and worship God with all your heart, the Lord will cause your oppressors and tormentors to hear the sound of the attack of their oppressors, and they will leave you alone forever in Jesus name.


PRAYER POINT:
Father, as I worship You today, cause all my enemies to hear the sound that will put them in perpetual flight.

Bible in One year: Col. 1-2

IDOLS FRUSTRATE EXPECTATIONS Monday 27 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28 Read: Isaiah 44:10-18 B efore you receive a prophetic declaration, check out the fruit of the vessel-the prophet, pastor, or servant of God, whether the fellow is still in league with God. Some people say, “thus says the Lord,” but the Lord did not say anything to them. Some of them heard from themselves and spoke. Be careful of what you accept as being from God. In Jeremiah 28:1-4, Hananiah a prophet prophesied that in two years God was going to set Israel free from the yoke of the king of Babylon, but it was all a lie! Imagine the joy of the people when they heard that. But after two years, and the prophecy did not come to pass, all the expectations of the people failed. Instead of two years, they spent 70 years. In others, the prophetic lies of prophets cannot change what God want to do or alter its tim...

DROP THOSE EXCUSES! Wednesday 22 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whatsoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Romans 2:1 Read: Exodus 3:10-16 A fter his experience of the supernatural and God introducing Himself to Moses, he was given a specific assignment. He objected with reasons but they were not accepted. From this we learn that when God has decided to send you on an assignment, no excuse is good enough. You will notice that the more Moses excused himself from embarking on that assignment, the angrier God became (Exodus 4:13-14). Making excuses to avoid doing what God has assigned to you will easily put you on the wrong side of God’s judgement. Excuses can move you from God’s right hand to His left, from favour to disfavour, from blessing to curses. Has the Lord given you an assignment and you are piling up reasons for not obeying? You are to...
