THE ESSENCE OF GOD (PART 3) Friday 6 July


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8

Read: 1 John 1:1-5

In the month of April, we looked at the essence of God through the prism of colours. God is light; hence we are looking at His essence through the colours of the rainbow, which are the same colours that result from the dispersal of white light when passes through prism.
Blue is the colour of love. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. Blue is also the colour of the ocean – referring to its inexhaustibility. While introducing Himself in Genesis 17:1, God simply says He is the inexhaustible One – The Almighty God. Some have asked me why I am not envious of others who are so blessed, and I tell them that there is enough for all. God’s goodness in your life shall never run out in Jesus name. Similarly, blue is the colour of the sky which means that when God wants to promote you, there will be no limit. Deuteronomy 33:27 says:

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them

When God lifts you up with His massive hands, there is no stopping you and nobody can bring you down. For instance, when God picked up a young shepherd boy at the backside of the desert and began to promote him, he became a king, but even long after his demise, the promotion continued until he became the father of the King of kings (Mark 10:47). Your rise this year shall not stop. Your promotion shall outlive you. You will be reckoned with in Heaven’s hall of fame.

Another colour of the rainbow which we see in the dispersal of light is green. It is the colour for Go in a traffic light. It refers to the power of progress. Green is the colour for growth. Green is also the colour of promotion. Psalms 75:6-7 says promotion comes from one source – above – from God. 1 Samuel 2:8 says God can pick a beggar from the dunghill and place the fellow among kings. This season, the Lord will promote you to your next level. Green is the colour of abundance (Psalms 23:1-5). It is also the colour of fruitfulness (John 15:1-5). Green stands for power which is fully available with God (Jeremiah 32:27). Are you lacking any of these? Cry unto the Lord today and He will supply all your needs.

PRAYER POINT:
In my life Lord be glorified always and help me avoid the pitfalls on my way. Father, stabilise my nation on her path to progress, prosperity and Godly fear.
 
Bible in one year: Leviticus 17-19

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
