ARE YOU PREGNANT? Saturday 8 January

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? Saith thy God.” (Isaiah. 66:9).

When children of God break the law of kinds and marry unbelievers, the product of such union will bring God’s judgement on that family. Are you in this situation? Repent wholeheartedly and ask God for forgiveness. Go to the pastor of a Bible-believing church, expose what you have done and receive counselling. The Lord will show you mercy.

Besides having the right foundation, another lesson we can learn from Exodus 2:1-10 is that what you conceive will be born. To receive a thing, first conceive it. If you can conceive a great picture of yourself and your family this year, it shall be born. Delivery follows conception. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? Saith thy God.” (Is 66:9). Have you conceived physically and when it came to the time of delivery, you could not bring forth? The Lord is sending you a word of deliverance today. Just say, “Lord Jesus, I receive your word of deliverance today”, and you shall take delivery in seven days. Every good idea or plan you have conceived shall be delivered in Jesus name. This also means that if you fail to conceive your desire, you will never see it materialize.

Some people confess they are pregnant but the signs they manifest negate their confession. How do you know if you have conceived something? “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh” (Luke 6:45). If you have conceived something, say an idea, it will show. It is very difficult to conceal a pregnancy. You will be full of what you conceive; it will take a lion share of your thoughts, time, and interest. You cannot but frequently speak about what you have conceived. The thought of what you have conceived will stir up excitement, joy and hope in you always. If you have conceived something, you will believe in it and it will set the path for you to follow. You will be eager to find out more about what you have conceived. You will take care not to terminate it. You will look forward with great expectation to the day of its delivery. Can you truly say you have conceived something good which you expect to birth?

KEY POINT:
If you cannot conceive a fruitful, progressive year ahead, you cannot birth it!

Bible in One year: Prov. 25-28

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...

DANGERS OF LOVING THE WORLD Sunday 4 December

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world.” (John 2:16). READ: 2 Timothy 4:10-11 W hen you love the world, it can affect salient arrears of your life. This is why we must pray for leaders to shun worldly lusts and focus on the things of God. The love of the world can stand between you and your requests. A leader who loves the world will be incapable of making effective intercession for the flock. The love of the world also terminates spiritual life. The fellow who loves the world will find his or her love for God ebbing by the day. With love for the world, it will be impossible to love God with all your heart. Yet, God demands 100% love from you. “And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deut. 6:5). “For Demas hath forsaken me, ha...

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...
