THE POWER OF EXPECTATION Wednesday 16 May


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Proverbs 10:24

Read: Acts 3:2-8

Whenever hopelessness is brought to the God of hope, it has no choice but to change form. Do you know that your dry bones shall live again? That ground that has refused to produce will surely produce. Has your womb been without a baby for so long? It is because it is selective of the child it wants to carry. After Sarah’s 25 years of barrenness, the same womb that refused to conceive seed, conceived a covenant child – Isaac. Are you physically barren? Shortly, you shall carry your baby. Have you been barren for so long? Your Isaac is on the way. Has your business been unable to attract contracts or to give you profit? The Lord will make you fruitful. That dry business will begin to give you good yields from today. Expectation can produce miracles. Expectation can remove barrenness as in the case of Abraham and Sarah. If your expectation or hope has dwindled, grow it by feeding regularly on God’s Word, testimonies of others, and recalling God’s past interventions in your life. This is very crucial because if you are not expectant, the fruit may never come.

Expectation can destroy stagnancy as can be seen in the lame man at the Beautiful gate. Being lame in feet, his life followed an unpleasant routine. Every morning he was dropped at that spot where he begged from adults and children, friends and foes. In the evening he was carried home. Nothing changed. He was at one bus stop of life. In fact, the bus stop has turned into his final destination. He was getting used to his negative state. But when he encountered Peter and John, they asked him to look at them. As he did, he became expectant to receive something. He most probably expected alms but he got more than he bargained for through expectation. Are you on the same spot? Has a bus stop in life turned to your final destination? Look on the Lord Jesus Christ today and expect His touch. As you do, He will turn around your situation and rewrite your history for good.

KEY POINT:
Expectation is a fire starter. It propels action from God. Never go into His presence without it.
 
Bible in one year: Proverbs 15:18

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
