TIME AND SPEED Thursday 22 September


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” (Dan. 2:21).

READ: Daniel 2:20-21

Another truth you need to tell others including your family and church members is that God is the controller of times and seasons. “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” (Dan. 2:21). Many people think what befalls them is purely by chance. Nothing happens by chance! Revelation 1:8 speaks of the Alpha and Omega who is fully in control of what has happened in the past and what will happen tomorrow. Your future is not in the hands of anyone, no matter how hard the fellow tries. Anyone who says you shall not be promoted in your place of work, or who says you shall not graduate from your school, must be told that your future is not in the hands of man but in the hands of the Most High God. When men forgot Joseph for years, in God’s time, He gave him a turn-around within 24 hours. Similarly, at the feast in Cana of Galilee, the Lord, who awaited His right time, soon delivered to them their much needed miracle-wine. One moment, He was saying, ‘My time has not come’, but the next moment, He had moved swiftly into action. Since the Lord is in control of time, He can change ‘Not yet!’ to ‘Right now!’. In your situation, the Lord will change ‘Not yet!’ into ‘Right now!’ this season.

Christ’s ability to change ‘Not yet!’ to ‘Right now!’ speaks of His capacity to turn what is not urgent into something urgent, and what is not important into something important. God can give speed to your breakthrough. When Samuel sent for David in the house of Jesse, he refused to sit down until David was brought from the sheep-fold at the back of the desert. The Lord was urgent upon David’s matter. Suddenly, an insignificant youngster became very important. This season, the Lord will give speed to your turn-around. By His intervention in your situation this period, those who have been saying you are not yet ripe for promotion will suddenly appoint you into your next level. The Lord will give you speed. The lord will manipulate time and chance in your favour today!

PRAYER POINT:
Father, all my good desires that are on Your waiting list, move them to Your urgent list today
 
Bible in One year: Isa. 51-54

BENEFITS OF UNITY Sunday 27 November

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 18:19) READ: Acts 2:1-4 U nity is a powerful force in the universe. However, uniting against God, His Word or His children causes God to arise in defence of His Name. This is the other side of power of unity. Barring this, unity can accomplish almost anything on the face of the earth. In Genesis 11:5-6, God said that if the people of the earth were left with one language and as united as they were in building the city and tower, they will be unstoppable. The united are unstoppable. Unity is a powerful tool for achieving plans and purposes. But if operated in righteousness within the Christian fold, it is even more powerful. “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it sha

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
