WHEN HEAVEN AND EARTH CONNIVE Friday 25 March

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: : “And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron” (Deut. 28:23).

READ: Haggai 1:6-9

One reason you should not lose your sleep over your enemies is: God has promised to bless those who bless you and to curse those who curse you (Gen. 12:3). In other words, God will repay people in their own coins commensurate to what they do to us as believers. Have you come into the Christian fold? If yes, from today anyone who curses you has placed a curse upon himself or herself. Anyone who blesses you shall be blessed. It is a great thing to be blessed. A blessing is the direct opposite of a curse. It is a terrible thing to come under a curse. Deuteronomy 28:23 says, “And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron”. For anyone to be really blessed or cursed, that fellow must be served both by Heaven and earth. Heaven and earth must cooperate to deliver blessings to the blessed. Under a cursed atmosphere, both the heaven and earth would connive to withhold that individual’s blessings. No matter the efforts, the rains would refuse to fall from Heaven. In spite of all the plans, toils and labours, the earth would refuse to yield her increase. Have the heavens and earth connived against your blessing? The Lord will intervene and bring about a change today in Jesus name.

A curse can shut the windows of Heaven and harden the earth. It can turn the heavens over such a fellow into brass and the earth into iron. The ground of a cursed fellow is cursed. Imagine sowing into a stony rocky soil with no sand or moisture. Can such a farmer expect any harvest? Some people under a curse think that they can still achieve their desired harvest if only they can work harder. Hard work is not recognized when a curse is in operation. In fact, one purpose of a curse is to get rid of harvests in life of the cursed. According to Haggai 1:6-9, the earnings of a cursed fellow are also cursed. That means another purpose of a curse in the life of the cursed is to ensure that the fellow is incapable of gathering earnings, and making or storing wealth. Whatever he earns will be saved in a hollow basket so that by the time he wants to harness his gains, there will be nothing to show for it. Even God will blow away increase of anyone who comes under a divine curse. Have any of these been taking place in your life? Examine your life, trace the source of the curse and prayerfully address it. Every curse operating in your life will be cancelled.


PRAYER POINT:
Father, destroy today every curse operating in my life, family and lineage.
Father, thank you for the past Lets-Go-A-Fishing programmes.
Lord, make this year’s Easter programme the greatest in terms of souls won and miracles worked.


Bible in One year: Job 32-34

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...
