JOYS OF HOUSE FELLOWSHIP Thursday 2 June

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Ps. 16:11).

READ: 1 Samuel 5:1-5

Whenever we are gathered in small or large groups to honour the Lord, He is present. When we come together in our various house fellowships, God is with us as He has promised: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). In every house fellowship, the leader is God’s representative there, enjoying the full backing of the Most High. Even when He is not visible, God stands behind the house fellowship leader, speaking through him, ready to heal, deliver and save. Such a leader becomes God’s voice to reach out to that small group – or church in the house. Never underestimate what God can do through you in a house fellowship centre! Psalm 16:11 says, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore”.

In every house fellowship meeting, God’s presence is there to release joy to all present. Such joy will be channeled through the house fellowship leader to the members. Being vessel through which the blessings will flow, the house fellowship leader will be the first to be a partaker. It is a great thing to lead a house fellowship! One of the blessings that can flow to members of a house fellowship is prosperity. If you don’t believe it, ask Obededom. He housed the Ark of the Covenant for only three months and it appeared he received the blessings of 30 years! He was so blessed that he was on the national news. In three months, he had a permanent change from a nobody to a man of repute and honour (2 Sam. 6:9-12). Are you trusting God to change your financial situation? Attend a house fellowship regularly, or make your house available for God’s use as a house fellowship centre. Hold on to God’s promise and blessings will flow to you. Another blessing that can flow to a house fellowship is victory over demons. When God’s Ark of Covenant was brought into the temple of an idol—Dagon, the image fell on its face (1 Sam 5:15). When put back on its feet the following day, the image not only fell but its head got broken. In the houses of house fellowship leaders this year, no demon will be able to stay or come near. Demons will bow before you and keep their distance.

PRAYER POINT
Father, breathe afresh on all house fellowship centres and make them locations of your grace, power and glory.

Bible in One year: Matt. 5-7

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...
