GUARD YOUR HEART Tuesday 10 April


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23.
Read: Proverbs 4:20-27
From Matthew 5:8 we understand that the one who is pure in heart is blessed. Are you single or married? Are you married but your spouse is separated from you by geographical location? What do you think about when you go to bed? Do you engage yourself in impure thoughts? Do you know that some people assist the tempter? How you may ask? After they have fed their eyes with lust inducing items during the day, they recline to ponder over them later and may find themselves practicing such ungodly acts. At the end, blame falls on the devil. The devil usually gets all the blame when things go wrong.
Besides being blessed, the pure in heart are assured of seeing God. Of what use is the Christian race if at the end of the journey you are denied the privilege of seeing God? The reason it is so essential your heart is pure is that: the state of your heart determines the output of your heart.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23.
Most of the things that will affect your life and destiny emanate from your heart. Matthew 15:19 says evils thoughts that defile a man proceed from the heart. If your heart is occupied with impure thoughts, given a little time, you will see yourself practicing such. If you continue to dwell on immoral thoughts, before long, you will feel a force compelling you to masturbate, fornicate, rape or even commit incest. Some even sleep with animals or people of same sex. It all starts with a thought. A polluted heart cannot produce godly character. As long as the heart is polluted, your deeds will be evil and you will lose your God-given destiny. However, if your thoughts are pure, they will propel you to live a holy life which will make you fulfill your destiny. You will end up seeing God and living with Him eternally.
KEY POINT:
When your heart is pure, you will not only see God in Heaven, but also see God manifest your desires here on earth.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 55-57

    2. It is written a good man out of the good treasures of the heart comet that which is good. what you keep in your heart determines what will manifest. David said thy word have i hid in the heart so that i may not sin against God. So read, study, memorize, meditate the Bible, apply it everyday.

  3. James 1:14 says; but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. This implies that the more we allow certain unhealthy thoughts to thrive in our minds, the stronger their influences over our lives.

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
