MOVE UP! Tuesday 10 January


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. Luke 19:3

Read: Revelation 4:1-4

In Isaiah 6:1-5, Isaiah saw God’s glory and his life was never the same. Another person who encountered God’s glory was John the Beloved. Of the twelve, he was the closest to the Lord. While on the island of Patmos as a prisoner for his faith in Christ, he was separated from society and his companions were trees and wild animals. Yet, for him to access a level of glory beyond what he saw of the Lord on the Mountain of Transfiguration, he was asked to come up higher. Why? It is because your location will determine the level of God’s glory you encounter. As long as you remain in the valley, you will be limited in the level of God’s glory you experience. Anyone in the valley of sin, stagnancy, doubt, fear, or disobedience should not expect to see God’s glory as these will block the view. Are you experiencing a level of God’s glory today? Praise God! To move up to a higher level, you must change your location.

As long as you are rising and falling without making a commitment to be steadfast in Christ, there is little or no glory for you to see. There are some brethren who wish they could experience the type of glory that was common to them after their conversion, a level below which they now operate. Yes, it is possible. But even beyond that level, God wants to give you something more. Hear the Lord saying, ‘Move up’. Move up in your faith in Christ. Increase your love for Him. Move up in consecration. Move up in selfless service. Triple your prayer life. Spend more time with the Word – hearing, reading, studying, meditating and memorizing the Bible. Let your priorities be recorded with more focus on heavenly things than earthly ones. Stop looking to men: look up to Him. In Luke 19:1-10, Zacchaeus sought to see Jesus: the Lord saw his heart and became his guest. What are you seeking? This season as you seek Him, you will experience the glory of God beyond what you ever knew before.

PRAYER POINT:
The glory of God is inaccessible to the spiritually stagnant. Ask God to take away every hindrance stopping the Body of Christ from accessing a greater level of God’s glory.

Bible in one year: Ecclesiastes 4-6

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...
