NO HIDING PLACE Saturday 7 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.” (Ps. 139:11).

READ: Psalms 139:7-12

Matthew 10:28 says the only One to be feared is the Almighty God because He can determine your end on earth and what happens to you in eternity. He sees everything and is everywhere at the same time. Psalm 139:1-12 says you cannot hide from God. Climb to any height, even the tallest building or mountain in the world, God sees you. Go to any depth below the earth surface and He will still see you. Verse 11 says, “If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me”. One thing that is common among evil doers is that they are friends with darkness. They carry out most of their activities in the night. Do you know that long before scientists manufactured night vision surveillance hardware, God saw in the dark? Darkness cannot hide anything from God. In fact, unlike human night vision which still has several limitations, God’s night vision is not different from regular vision in broad daylight. In other words, if you think by hiding at night to sin you are hiding your secrets, you are not. With God, there is no difference between night and day because He exists in the realm where all things are naked to Him. There is also no secret. What you call secret is common knowledge in Heaven and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.

Just as God is omnipresent, so also is He the only way of salvation from Satan and his hosts. Some people want to be free from sickness and poverty, and they go to the one who gave them the problem in the first place. Unknown to them, instead of true deliverance, they get ensnared further. Some years ago a man in his quest for wealth swallowed a money charm. Instead of becoming rich, what he swallowed began to eat him up. When his date with death drew near, he ran to us at Ebute-Metta, Lagos. He was delivered. After observing his absence from church, we visited him to know why. He told us that he had swallowed the wrong charm the first time; that was why no money came. He informed us he had now swallowed the right charm and money had come. After seven years, his date with death drew near. He decided to escape to London thinking that the demons were confined to Africa. He died on board the London-bound plane. Are you in any cult? Have you made a pact with the powers of darkness? Jesus Christ is the only way to freedom. Confess your sins and receive Him into your heart today. Renounce and break all agreements with the devil and approach a genuine man of God for prayers.


KEY POINT:
Christianity is not just a way of life, but God’s only way of expressing His mind.

Bible in One year: Judg. 13-15

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...
