Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith:
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. Ephesians 3:17
Read: Ephesians 3:17-20
When God decides to bless an individual, it will affect him
all round. God can go as far as using the person’s enemy to bless him. We have
an example of this in Numbers 23:16-24. Here Balaam was hired to curse. He
opened his mouth to curse the children of Israel but blessings came out
instead. This is one of God’s benefits to the ones that He loves. He can turn a
curse into a blessing depending on who is involved. Every curse against you and
your family shall become blessings in Jesus name. Once God blesses you, nobody
can reverse it except you. The moment God says you are blessed; things will
begin to happen in quick succession. If your work was not prospering, it will
begin to prosper, but if you stray from Him, what was easy will become hard. If
what you used to do effortlessly is now being done with a lot of struggle, God
may be calling for your attention. It is possible you may have strayed from His
path. Examine yourself and reconnect as quickly as possible.
Even when you follow Him with all your heart, your
prosperity may not come overnight, but be rest assured that it will surely
come. Some testimonies are best kept with the testifiers because if they are
shared, people will say God is partial. God can bless you beyond measure
because His name is Jehovah El-Shaddai. That request you think is too great is
nothing to Him. When you fail to ask exactly what you need, thinking you are
becoming excessive, you are only acting in doubt. Ephesians 3:20 says:
Now unto him that is
able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to
the power that worketh in us.
From this scripture, the working of God in your life is a
function of the measure of His presence or power in your life. If you want God
to do the impossible for and through you, you must ensure that His presence
inside you grows tremendously. Investing in knowing God is not in vain. Ask Him
to fill every void in you to a point that only Jesus would be seen in all you
say and do.
PRAYER POINT:
Pray according to Ephesians 3:17; that your heart may be
rooted and grounded in love.
Bible in one year: Colossians 1-2
Let our life be all about God. Testimony - God press play button for me yesterday o. I passed an exam I have been trying to do for over year now. I have postponed the exam a couple of times, even failed it once. Inshort, the exam was becoming a nusance. It was as if my life was in a stand still. Everyweekend na so so book. But yesterday, the exam encounter the God of Adeboye. The one dat pauses & no one can play. The one dat plays & no can pause. He can even reverse if the need arise. Fastfoward no be big deal. I pray that my God dat pressed the play button for me yesterday will do much more for you all in Jesus Name. Before the end of this month, what we have not been able to acheive since January, we will achieve with the help of our God who can do & undo. All those that think, they have pressed the pause or reverse button in our life, will see God, the one that has the final say in action. Rejoice, I say rejoice, the play button has been pressed by the one dat has the final say. Just remain in him. Have a blessed weekend.

ReplyDeleteYes Pastor, some testimonies will make God seem partial but he is not. We limit him when we create a boundary with God can provide food for me&my household but don't think he can heal this cancer. Then we go and stay in the hospital and do operations with no faith nor hope of ever recovering or getting healed. But when we know God can do all things then we get our healing,provisions, everything we need in life without struggling thru life.May God give us insight IJN.
