Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
MEMORIZE: “And God looked upon the children of Israel, and
God had respect unto them.” (Exodus 2:25).
READ: John 9:1-7
What does the phrase ‘And God looked upon the Israelites’
mean? It simply means God focused His attention on them in particular. In John
9:1-7, while Jesus and His disciples passed by, they saw a man who was born
blind. This man had been on that spot for years and the Lord had been passing
by and seeing him there all the time. But on this occasion, when Jesus saw him,
Heaven was ready to attend to him. Similarly, John 5:2-9 tells us of a man who
had been at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. One day, Jesus saw him and
singled him out of the crowd and he got a miracle. The day the lord sees you
specially, you can be sure you will share your testimony. This season, the Lord
will look on you with compassion and do something about your case in Jesus
name.
During one Holy Ghost Service, it was prayer time so I asked
everybody to pray. I closed my eyes and began to pray when the Lord asked me to
open my eyes, and pointed out a lady in the crowd. He asked me to go and tell
her to weep no more. I went and delivered the message. She had been barren for
several years. Nine months later, she came with her baby and I began to weep
for joy. What is that thing causing sorrow in your heart today? Stop weeping!
It shall become a thing of joy.
Another phrase in Exodus 2:25 says ‘God had respect unto
them’. This means that God acknowledged them. God knows everything He created.
According to Matthew 10:29, no sparrow falls to the ground without God’s
knowledge. Matthew 10:30 says God has numbered every strand of hair on your
head. God takes notice when a hair drops from your head; would He not therefore
care about what happens to you? God cares so much for you. Are you going
through some very trying moments? God does not need to be informed. He already
knows. He cares. Look up to Him and call on His Name and He will respond. This
season, the Lord will acknowledge you. He will arise on your behalf: He will
bring that challenging situation under control.
PRAYER POINT:
Oh Lord! Look on me and turn my situation around.
Bible in One year: Ezek. 12-14
