SURRENDER ALL Tuesday 17 January


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: Revelation 1:17

READ: Revelation 1:9-17

From John’s experience with God’s glory, we observe that an encounter with God’s glory elicits a higher level of surrender. Whatever he held unto, he finally surrendered at the feet of the Master. He was so totally yielded to the Lord that he appeared as one that was dead (Revelations 1:17). If you want to see His glory, you must be ready to surrender everything. Today, consecration is lacking and consistently dwindling among Christians. Many have invited the Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts yet He remains prohibited from some of the rooms in those hearts. As long as there are no go areas in your life, there is very little of God’s glory that you can see. Some people invite and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord but when it comes to their source of income, business or work, they simply tell Him to mind His business. As long as you hold back your business from His divine will, you cannot see the glory of the Lord.

If Jesus is truly your Lord, then your source of income is His business. Your academic career is his business. Your intended marriage is His business. He needs you to surrender everything you are still holding back. What are you holding back from Him? Do you think He does not know everything going on in that area? He surely does. If you are still resisting His will, you will not see His glory. When John dropped before the Lord as a dead man, he lost the right to hold any idea, opinion or position that was contrary to the will of the Master. He was totally yielded to the Lord, allowing Him to have His way. The one, who allows the King of Glory to have His way, will definitely bask in the glory of the King. Give up that thing you are holding back and be totally yielded to Him today!

PRAYER POINT:
Father, today, everything I have withheld from You, I surrender all to You.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 4-6

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
