THE HOPE OF GLORY Friday 6 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” (Col. 1:27).

READ: Colossians 1:26-28

“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings” (Isaiah 3:10).

Are you a child of God, living right and pleasing God? If yes, do know for certain that it shall be well with you. Your future shall be glorious. It may be rough now but you shall end well. Why? It is because you have Jesus. Colossians 1:27 says, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”. The Lord Jesus is the Hope of glory. In him is the height of glory. In Him are all riches you can ever imagine. Having Him and sustaining Him in you means that one day, the abundant riches that He has will be evident in your life. This is why if asked to choose between riches, honour, fame, power on one side, and Jesus Christ on the other side, the wisest choice would be Jesus Christ. As long as He abides in you, what He has—His glory, splendor, riches, fame, power, wisdom, etc. will definitely reflect in your life. This season, the Hope of glory will radiate in your life.

One implication of Jesus as the Hope of glory is that there is hope for the hopeless. Have you lost hope of making it out of that prison? As long as you have Jesus, there is hope for you. Are you thinking that that perennial sickness is permanent? No! As long as you have the Hope of glory, there is hope for you. Jesus is the Hope of glory manifest to destroy anything opposed to glory in your life. God created you to radiate His glory. Every glory-taker or glory-eater in your life shall be subdued this season. That situation causing shame, disgrace, failure or disappointment in your life shall be mopped up by the King of glory. To cause His glory to manifest in your life, provoke it by engaging in activities that give Him glory. Worship Him in spirit and in truth regularly. Win lots of souls to Him monthly. Engage your time to study His Word privately. Sow into His Kingdom by supporting parish-based projects. Pay your tithes, offerings and vows, and live a sin-free life.


PRAYER POINT:
Pray: Every glory-taker in my life, be destroyed by fire.

Bible in One year: Judg. 16-18.

IDOLS FRUSTRATE EXPECTATIONS Monday 27 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28 Read: Isaiah 44:10-18 B efore you receive a prophetic declaration, check out the fruit of the vessel-the prophet, pastor, or servant of God, whether the fellow is still in league with God. Some people say, “thus says the Lord,” but the Lord did not say anything to them. Some of them heard from themselves and spoke. Be careful of what you accept as being from God. In Jeremiah 28:1-4, Hananiah a prophet prophesied that in two years God was going to set Israel free from the yoke of the king of Babylon, but it was all a lie! Imagine the joy of the people when they heard that. But after two years, and the prophecy did not come to pass, all the expectations of the people failed. Instead of two years, they spent 70 years. In others, the prophetic lies of prophets cannot change what God want to do or alter its tim...

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...
