THE SUPER CAPTAIN Friday 20 May

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;” (Phil. 2:10).

READ: Philippians 2:9-11

Hebrews 2:10 calls Jesus Christ the Captain of Salvation. Are you struggling with sin? Are you rising and falling? Are you still helplessly tied to some nasty sinful habits that have refused to let you go? Call upon the Captain of Salvation today and He will separate you from such sinful yokes. In the name of Jesus, every yoke of sin in your life is broken today. You are free to live to serve your Lord and Saviour from today.

Besides being the Captain of Salvation, He is the Captain that all other captains must obey. In Luke 7:2-10, there was a meeting of two captains: an army captain, a centurion, and the Captain Jesus Christ. The army captain could issue commands to his servants and they would obey him, but he was limited. When it was time to command sickness to take its leave from his servant, he had no authority. So, he came to meet the Captain of captains. He recognized his limitations and received help from Jesus. In addition, Jesus is also Captain over nature and its elements. He can instruct the wind and the sea and they will obey Him. Wherever He says ‘Peace, be still’, there will be a great calm, whether the thing being addressed wants to be quiet or not. When He commands demons, they obey Him, He expels demons by His Words (Matt. 8:16). In any case, His influence extends to the heavens, the earth and beneath the earth. As long as whatever is troubling you is from any of these realms, they can be tamed by this Super Captain.

Jesus is also Captain over sicknesses and diseases. Wherever He is, sicknesses cannot stay there. In Exodus 15:26, He says He is the Lord our healer. He is Jehovah Rapha. And by His Word, He heals your sickness (Ps. 107:20). That means when He commands sickness to depart, it has no choice; it must go. When some men brought in their paralytic friend to the Super Captain in Mark 2:1-12, all He did was to command, and the sick man stood on his feet, took his bed and walked home. The one they carried in, walked out on his two legs! What is that sickness or condition that is defying your orders? It cannot defy the order of the Super Captain. Report that matter to the Lord today!


ACTION POINT:
Your complete submission to the Super Captain grants you access to influence other captains on planet earth.

Bible in One year: Psa. 22-24

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...
