HIS PROMISE IS ‘YES!’ Thursday 19 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Cor. 1:20).

READ: 2 Corinthians 1:17-20

God’s Word is infallible. It has integrity. Whenever God makes you a promise, or gives you a word of prophecy, never belittle it. While it is unwise to base your expectations on the promises of men, you can safely depend on God’s promises. In fact, failing to expect the performance of what God has promised, can rob you of the promise. After the Lord called me into ministry and I became the General Overseer of the RCCG, prophecies began to come to pass. As far back as a1974 at Ijebu-Igbo (Nigeria), God told me He was going to build a great army that I would lead into the battle in His name. A few years later, after I became the G.O., the total membership of the church was less than 1000. With that promise in mind, I took time to pray and fast. I conducted monthly seminars and outreaches. I travelled to several places. People attended the programmes and when we were through they left. I began wonder where the great army was going to come from. Even though it looked far-fetched, all of a sudden, the turning point came. Has the Lord given you a great promise that appears to have not moved beyond being a promise after several years? The Lord will cause you to see its fulfillment this season.

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Cor. 1:20). This scripture shows a link between God’s promises, Jesus, and God’s servants. Through God’s servants, God can make a promise or give a word of prophecy. But except you connect to Jesus Christ His only begotten son, that promise may never be realized in your life. Jesus is the way to realizing God’s promises. He is the One who makes any of God’s promises ‘Yes and Amen’. In other words, He is the one who gives the seal of finality to any of God’s promises to us. If you are still sinning privately or publicly, you do not have a link with the One who can fulfil God’s promises in your life. Repent now and accept Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and personal Saviour. Tell Him you are sorry for your past life of sin and promise that you are not going back to sin. Ask Him for the power to go and sin no more. God’s promises will be fulfilled in your life this season.


PRAYER POINT:
Thank God for fulfilling His promises in your life. Ask Him to fulfil pending promises.

Bible in One year: Psa. 19-21

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...
