SIN FACILITATORS? Saturday 26 November


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

MEMORIZE: “Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked” (Ps. 97:10)

READ: Romans 1:29-32

God’s plan for you is total victory over sin, self, Satan and the world. He wants you to overcome in all points that Jesus overcame during His earthly sojourn. One way of identifying someone who truly loves the Lord is by the level of hatred he or she has for evil. If you do not hate evil, it will be difficult for you to overcome it. If you do not hate lying, you will definitely compromise with liars or even engage in lying. Show me a believer who detests sin and I will show you somebody whose love for God can be guaranteed. Your degree of hatred for evil reads on God’s Thermometer of love. To what extent do you love God?

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” (Rom. 1:32). Some people claim to hate evil but they love and frolic with evil doers. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 says as long as you romance with evil, God cannot be your Father. You cannot condone iniquity and expect to continue in God’s love. If you do not smoke but make smokers very comfortable in your presence, probably by providing them the ash tray to dump their ash, do you love God?

According to today’s reading, all sinners will partake of God’s judgement. Beyond this are those who take pleasure in sinners. Do you make excuse for sin or sinners? Be careful! You could end up where they will end. When you are covering up somebody in sin, or vacate your apartment or give out your car to a friend to use for an evil mission, you stand to end up where that sinner will end. You do not drink or smoke, but giving money to those who do when you know they will most likely spend it on alcohol or cigarettes makes you a collaborator. Some believers openly condemn fetish sacrifices but allow their parents to consult the oracles on their behalf and even take financial responsibility. How can such people be innocent? This is evidence that they do not really love God. In what ways have you been giving sinners the impetus to continue in sin? Repent today. Don’t be a facilitator of sin.

ACTION POINT:
Reflect over the failures of year 2010 and come up with measures to prevent reoccurrence.
 
Bible in One year: 1 Chron. 27-29

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...
