READY TO GO? Tuesday 1 November


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matt. 24:42).

READ: Matthew 24:36-42

“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit” (Eccl. 7:8).

This scripture is true of believers: Why? They started as sinners and ended as saints. And Isaiah 3:10 says it shall be well with the righteous. Are you a believer in Christ living daily before God in righteousness? Fear Not! It shall be well with you. It does not matter how seemingly bad things may appear today, your end shall be great. On the other hand, this scripture does not hold true for unbelievers because they started as innocent babies but ending as hardened sinners. For sinners, things shall continue to get worse. Believers will be spared the trouble of going through the Great Tribulation as they will be caught up to meet the Saviour in the air.

Today’s reading says it can be compared to the days of Noah. No drop of rain fell until Noah entered the ark. But immediately after Noah’s family and the selected animals were safe in the ark, Heaven released rain and the depth released the waters. While the inhabitants of the earth were being drowned one after the other, nothing happened to those within the ark. No sinner can survive or escape God’s judgement because God knows how to preserve the sinner to go through the judgement that has been prepared for them (2 Peter 2:9). Are you sinning but have not been caught or punished? It is not because you are smart. You are not. You cannot escape the judgement except you enter into Jesus Christ – God’s Ark of salvation, become born again and live right.

Moreover, although Jesus Christ is coming for the church – all those who are saved and washed in His blood, not all ‘Christians’ will go with Him. Why? Not everyone is born again. Of those that are born again, not every one of them is living holy. Unholy believers will be left at rapture to pass through the Great Tribulation for three and a half years. That will be another chance to live right but that will be too costly. It will cost them everything – their lives, property, profession, assets, or family. The lives they could not fully yield to Christ before the rapture will now be lost to the Antichrist. They will never be at peace as they will go out of circulation to live and worship God secretly under a world-wide antichrist regime. Now that you have the opportunity, why not make yourself fully ready? Are you ready for His coming?

PRAYER POINT
Father, help me to be ever ready for your coming. Help me not to be taken unawares.
Bible in One year: 2 & 3 Jn, Jude

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...
