NOT FORSAKEN Wednesday 27 July

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Psalm 37:25).

READ: Psalm 37:23-26

It is not strange for people to use as many people as they can to meet a need and thereafter discard them. This is one reason to never put your trust in man. However, there is an exception to this rule—the man Christ Jesus. When He makes a promise, it is not to impress like many humans do; He throws His weight behind it. Psalm 119:89 says His words are eternal and settled in the realm of eternity. Anyone contesting God’s Word is making a big mistake. Such a man will be contesting against what had been settled before the earth began. Do you know that when God makes a fresh promise to you today, it takes the form of His eternally settled Word? No difference. God is as committed to fulfilling His written Word as He is in fulfilling His Spoken Word. Has the Lord made you a promise? You can count on it. Some people say it is wrong to count your hens before the eggs are hatched. This is true as far as it relates to man. But if it has to do with God’s promises, you can go ahead and count your chickens.

Isaiah 3:10 says it shall be well with the righteous. That is His promise. In response to this, David the Psalmist studied the lives of righteous men, women and their families and had this to say as a matter of finality: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Psalm 37:25). He could not find a simple case! What amazing faithfulness! What an amazing God! If He was faithful to David’s generation, He will be faithful to you. If God did not fail David, He will not fail you. If the Lord never abandoned a righteous fellow all the days of David, He will not start with you. As long as you are conforming to His Word and will, even when all others forsake you, God will not. No wonder He promises never to leave you nor forsake you. In your situation of loneliness, God is there with you. Even when you cannot feel His presence, He is still there. He is not there just for the fun of it, but to watch His promises in your life and fulfil them. Cheer up! The Lord is with you.


PRAYER POINT:
Have you been forsaken by people around you? God is still with you as long as you remain His child. Pray that he will make his presence known to you.

Bible in One year: Deut. 20-22

    The faithfulness of our God is forever more, unending, undying, we can take His word ( which is Jesus) to the bank and cash it all the time

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...

YOUR VOICE SHALL BE HEARD Wednesday 26 October

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.” (Psalm 18:44). READ: Psalm 18:43-45 W hen Bartimaeus was steps away from his breakthrough, the crowd around him shouted him down. But by the grace of God, he doubled his efforts and cried out the more. He simply told the crowd: ‘If you think you have heard noise you have not heard anything yet’. The reality is that if you need help and send a faint cry in the midst of a crowd, they will want to shut you up. But if your cry is unparalleled, defying the voices of the opposition, there would be a general consensus by the crowd for you to be attended to, at least so that they can have their peace. This season, by the mercy of God, there will be a meeting of the crowd hindering your blessing and their consensus would be that you receive immediate attention. Another lesson from this story is that while peop...
