Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And
he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26
Read: Genesis 32:24-28
Sometimes, all you need to do in order to get your miracle
is to praise Him. Many years ago, we were holding a crusade at Ebute Metta,
Lagos (South West Nigeria). As instructed of God, l mounted the stage that
evening and announced to those present that we are not praying for anybody but
that we were going to dance and praise God. Thereafter, a woman who doctors had
written off as dead was brought in a car to the crusade. She met my deputy and
requested for prayers because she was dying. The man told her the Lord had said
that all they were to do that night was to sing and praise God. The woman asked
him, “I can’t even stand, how would I dance?” Eventually she tried to comply
with the directive. She managed to disemback from the car, supported by two
people, she moved little by little and the power of God hit her. She pushed off
those supporting her and stood properly. That was how she was healed of the
sickness that was meant to take her life. When you praise Him, He can reverse
the irreversible.
Our God is so great that just one encounter with Him changes
everything for good permanently. It was just one encounter Jacob had with God
and his destiny changed (Genesis 32:24-28). Death became life, enemy became
friend, his name changed from deceiver to prince with God, and his destiny was
changed for the best. Just one encounter l had with God on the 29th of July
1973 and everything changed. My family and I used to be very sickly. We had a
big file at the university of Lagos clinic. If I was well, my children would be
sick and vice versa but one encounter changed everything. All you need from Him
is one encounter. If you have followed the Lord or have been coming to church
but things remain as they used to be, all you need is one encounter. You need
an encounter that can put an end to sorrow, stagnancy and financial worries in
your life. This season, as you seek His face with all your heart and Obey Him,
you will receive that life transforming encounter with the Great God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, an encounter that will put paid to my sorrows and
worries, give it to me now.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 22-24
