WHERE ARE YOUR SEVENTY? Wednesday 25 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?” (Num. 11:11)

READ: Numbers 11:11-17

Every child of God is a child of destiny and as such requires God’s favour in order to achieve his or her destiny. Without divine favour, a wise man suddenly looks like a fool; a strong man loses the battle; a man with bright prospects ends up without any achievement and a hard working man has no returns for all his efforts. Whatever you need to do in order to access divine favour this year, the Lord will grant you the grace to do it.

In his ministry, Moses got to a point he cried out to the Lord for favour. “And Moses said unto the LORD, Whereof hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?” (Num. 11:11). From the above scripture, we find that favour secures good, competent hands to assist the favoured in a given task or assignment. Until he was favoured, Moses virtually carried all the ministerial burdens alone. The load was so heavy for him and he was just struggling to meet up. At some point, he reviewed his situation and saw it as some kind of affliction before he cried out to God. It was after this that God raised 70 helpers to share the burden with him. Favour delivers from ministerial affliction.

Are you facing a similar situation like Moses did? God sent you on an assignment, yet you lack competent assistants to the extent that ministry or that assignment has become some form of punishment for you? What have you done about this situation? Some people will complain about it and it ends there, some others will pray a little and stop, while some are even nonchalant about it. They will say, ‘If God cares, let Him do something about it’. Do you know that it takes a discovery of your true position in order to take the next most appropriate step? If Moses was like some people today, he would never have cried out. Such people accept whatever they meet. If you are struggling with many burdens in ministry or your assignment, it is clear evidence that you need God’s favour. After realizing this, you must be ready to cry out to God for help so that your silent, latent helpers can come to your rescue. Call on God today for your helpers to locate you where you are!


PRAYER POINT:
Pray that everyone sent to lighten your burden in your assignment will locate you now by favour.

Bible in One year: Ezek. 34-36

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...
