ARE YOUR HANDS TIED? Friday 24 February


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: The slothful hideth in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. Proverbs 26:15

Read: Judges 15:11-19

One of the forces capable of tying a man’s hands is poverty. Several people would like to build churches for God, but for poverty. Some people would like to dance all the way from their village to our annual Convention if only they could afford the bus fare. Some believers grieve over the needy state of fellow believers, and the church of God, but they are helplessly tied down by poverty. Everything tying your hands shall be removed today in Jesus name. In 1 Kings 17:10-12, when the man of God came to the widow of Zarephath, and requested for food, she told him, she would have loved to spend lavishly on him but her hands were tied. Poverty keeps its victims as servants of those that have already escaped from its prison. You shall escape from the prison house of poverty in Jesus name.

Another thing that can bind a man’s hands is sickness. The sick lacks physical energy and vitality to undertake basic assignments. In Matthew 8:14-15, Jesus paid a visit to Peter and met his mother-in-law bed ridden. She knew she was supposed to entertain her guest. She desired to do so too. But she could not get up from the bed until Jesus healed her. Immediately she was healed, she ministered to the Lord. Some ministers and workers are not in excellent state of health. This is seriously affecting their secular and ministerial performance. They are willing but the hands of their well being are tied. There is no way you can fulfill your destiny if your health is tied. Some have died out of ill-health without completing their assignments. That shall not be your portion. Every sickness tying your well being is destroyed. From now on, you will live in sound health. Your body shall be strong. Your body will remain strong until you fulfil your destiny and assignment. You are released from the clutches of sickness and diseases today!

ACTION POINT:
Ask God to destroy forces limiting your potentials in every facet of life.

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...
