JESUS REVEALS THE GODHEAD Thursday 10 March

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col. 2:9)

READ: John 14:8-9

Everyone has a worthy destiny, but not everyone attains that destiny. Although most individuals have set their personal goals, God has a better destiny for each one. Arriving at your personal goal is good but getting to your divinely set destiny is far better. May you not miss Heaven’s destination for your life in Jesus name. Destiny has a link with time. It also has a link with light. When light comes on an individual’s destiny, the fellow’s potential will come to the limelight.

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Tim. 1:17). Just as we need light to reveal our destiny, so also does God embrace light in order to be seen. God is the Almighty who is good, kind, rich, generous, yet, invisible. In spite of His invisibility, He wants to be seen. Romans 1:20 says, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”. Though invisible, God reveals Himself through the works of His hands. It is in this course, that the Word became flesh (John 1:1 and 14). The Word is invisible but because God wanted to be seen, He wrapped the Word in flesh so that we can behold His glory. No wonder Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus ‘the image of the Invisible God’.

One way of appreciating this fact is by looking at the rich. Do you know that rich people who want to express their financial status often face frustration? How? It is not possible to write on their foreheads: ‘Here comes rich man’. So, when he gets to a place, there may really be nothing to differentiate him from the poor. Hence, he invests in expensive wears, shoes, wristwatches, cars, etc. It is not uncommon for the one who is full of goodness to show off a little. When I told someone I would be coming to his house for lunch on a particular day, he begged me to defer it till the following month. It simply shows he lacked what to host me with. He wanted enough time to plan the visit so that he could ‘spoil’ me a little. The almighty God is full of goodness and wants to show it; hence, He sent Jesus Christ. According to Colossians 2:9, the Trinity pooled themselves together in a fleshy envelop called Jesus of Nazareth, so that men could see God. Do you have Jesus? Is He seen in and through your life and deeds?

PRAYER POINT:
Father, in my life and in that of members of my family, let Jesus be revealed.

Bible in One year: Amos 7-9

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...
