YOU CAN CREATE Sunday 22 January


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Read: Genesis 1:1-3

A new beginning is the time to create or initiate new things. The beginning is not a time to loaf about or procrastinate but the time for hard work. God and the Word are seen creating things in the beginning.

All the things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John1:3

If you have no job, this is not the time to wake up by 12 noon. Get up and look for something legitimate to do. The Lord will make a way for you. Speak to your hands and say: ‘These hands shall not be empty. You shall prosper in a good work that will fetch me income’. Afterwards, prayerfully launch out. There are several opportunities around you. Some people are just too choosy. They look down on certain offers because of the small emolument or because the job is not prestigious enough. Stop it! God wants you to engage your hands. Start something before the end of this month. You may have a talent, an education or gift you can turn into an income-yielding business. Go ahead as long as the business is legitimate.

One revelation from this is that who stick with the Word of God and frolic regularly with Him are connected to the Creator and as such, they can tap into God’s creative power and begin to create things, following the steps of God and the Word.

……But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16b

The truth is, you cannot be so close to God’s Word and be so far from ideas. Sin is a robber of ideas. If you can keep away from sin and give quality time to studying the Bible, ideas will flow from Him to you. If you claim to spend time with Jesus, what have you to show for it? What ideas have you divinely received and introduced to improve your business, industry, church, or even the world? Stop hoarding ideas that will change your world! Circulate them so that God’s name will be glorified.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, as I spend time with Your Word from today, release creative ideas into my mind to enable me make a difference in my world.

Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 20-22

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...

DROP THOSE EXCUSES! Wednesday 22 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whatsoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Romans 2:1 Read: Exodus 3:10-16 A fter his experience of the supernatural and God introducing Himself to Moses, he was given a specific assignment. He objected with reasons but they were not accepted. From this we learn that when God has decided to send you on an assignment, no excuse is good enough. You will notice that the more Moses excused himself from embarking on that assignment, the angrier God became (Exodus 4:13-14). Making excuses to avoid doing what God has assigned to you will easily put you on the wrong side of God’s judgement. Excuses can move you from God’s right hand to His left, from favour to disfavour, from blessing to curses. Has the Lord given you an assignment and you are piling up reasons for not obeying? You are to...
