WORD OF HOPE Wednesday 18 April


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but l hope in thy word. Psalms 119:81
Read: Psalms 119:73-80
At the peak of the famine in Samaria described in 2 Kings 6:25-30, the elders and the king sought help from the Lord by going to the house of Elisha. Immediately, Elisha spoke a prophetic word that there will be a shift from their existing extreme hardship to extreme abundance and it was so. In the name that is above every other name, I decree that God is moving you from your current unpleasant situation to a positive extreme state within the next 48 hours! From 2 Kings 7:1-2, we learn that God is aware of the situation of famine that His children go through. Jesus confirms this in Matthew 6:8:
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
God knows your situation and he knows your needs ever before they are voiced. If God is not responsible for a famine, then you can trace the cause, take necessary corrective measures and ask Him to remove it. But if He called for it, He has a reason for doing so. In such a situation, prayerfully seek His face to determine the purpose of the famine and what you are expected to do next.
We also learn from the same scripture (2 Kings 7:1-2) that the prophetic word from a truly anointed servant of God can be used of God to do the impossible. All Elisha did was to make a pronouncement according to the Word of God and a paralyzed economy was revived in 24 hours! The word of God gives you hope. If you give God’s Word its rightful place in your heart, you can never be hopeless. Words of men cannot do you much good in a time of famine or hopelessness. In fact, listening to some people at such a time may compound the situation. The Word of God has something for the hopeless. It will rescue you from the doldrums of despondency and hopelessness. No wonder that, in spite of all that the Psalmist passed through, he kept hoping in God’s Word (Psalm 119:74, 81). If you want to receive courage, guidance and hope from God, read the Bible daily, spend time to study it, listen to it often, meditate on it and do it.
ACTION POINT:
Pray that God will make a way for nations going through famine and war to restore abundance and peace to them.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 10-12

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
