A VOICE IN YOUR FAVOUR Sunday 12 June

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.” (Acts 5:39).

Read: Acts 5:33-40

In Exodus 2:5-10, despite the prevailing death decree hanging over newly born male Israelites, Pharaoh’s daughter favoured baby Moses. Irrespective of your enemy’s negative decrees over your life, God will grant you favour before them this year. One thing we learn from this story is that the purpose of your enemies is to serve as God’s instruments amidst other enemies, to stop them from harming you. This shows that not all enemies are enemies indeed. Some are your potential helpers, domiciled among your staunch enemies. It is my prayer that your helpers within the enemy’s camp will be active in your favour this year.

“And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of water” (Exo. 2:10). Can you imagine that the same baby Moses that was been hunted down from the palace was returned to the same palace to be raised as a prince? From this we learn that wherever a death sentence was issued against you, a life warrant can also come your way from these. Apart from Moses, one person who experienced this was David. While King Saul sought to kill him with the backing of the army of Israel, his son, Jonathan sought to protect him with all at its disposal. In the name of Jesus, protection shall arise for you where a decree of death or destruction is sent against you. Similarly, among the enemies of the early Church, God raised up a voice to speak for the preservation of the Christian faith. That man was Gamaliel. He was highly regarded in their midst (the Jews). His advice was not something they could easily ignore. He warned them to leave the disciples of Jesus alone lest they found themselves fighting against God. He told them that, time would prove the genuineness or otherwise of the new Christian faith. That was the counsel that restrained them from embarking on a mass massacre of the disciples. In the coven where evil is being planned against you, God will raise for you a voice. Where your enemies are gathered in the four corners of the globe, the Lord will raise for you a voice. God will use somebody they cannot ignore among them to speak for you. It shall be well with you.


PRAYER POINT
Father, where a death sentence has been issued against me, let a life warrant be issued for me from the same stable.

Bible in One year: Heb. 11-13

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...
