ALREADY PROVIDED Wednesday 8 June

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” (Eph. 1:3).

READ: Ephesians 1:3-5

The Lord Jesus Christ is linked with history. The word ‘history’ is a fusion of two words – his and story. Simply put, history is the story of God. History is a play written by God and acted by men. Hence, events on earth are dated according to the years before the birth of Christ (BC.) or after the death of Christ (A.D.). Without Jesus Christ, the world’s timing will be incomplete. Acts 4:27-28 says that the crucifixion of Jesus had been pre-ordained. Right from the time of Adam’s fall, it was prophesied that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent, while the heels of the former would be bruise (Gen. 3:14-15). This simply shows that nothing takes God by surprise. Ever before Adam and Eve fell, the all knowing God saw that they would fall into sin, so He arranged for Jesus to come as the Lamb of God who would be slain for the sins of the world. Hence, Revelation 13:8 says, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”. God is a great planner. Before Adam was ever created, God who had known that he would fall made provision to restore men back to Himself.

Just as God had provided for man’s reconciliation and restoration before his fall, so also has God provided for your life on earth ever before you were created. Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”. Before you were born, He equally provided all that you would ever need to get to your destination. Sadly, although God’s provision existed before we were born, not everyone has accessed it. Your provisions are in Jesus Christ. What you need to succeed in ministry has already been provided before you came into that ministry. All you need to do is receive His provision through His Word and let Him guide you on how, when, and where to possess your provision. This season, as you engaged in unlimited thanksgiving, you will access your provisions.


PRAYER POINT
Thank God for what He has provided for your success. Ask Him for grace to access them.

Bible in One year: Matt. 26-28

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...
