NO VACUUM Sunday 26 February


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 1 Samuel 16:14

Read: Luke 11:24-26

God calls and He recalls. It is however better never to have been called or ordained by God, than to be recalled after being called. Why? When the One who called you withdraws from you, a vacuum is left behind and we know that nature abhors vacuum. So when He leaves, something else will fill that space. When you turn out the lights, darkness needs no invitation to take over. When the Spirit of God departed from King Saul, immediately an evil spirit stepped in (1 Samuel 16:14). While God was with Samson, nobody could withstand him. He remained a champion. But as soon as God withdrew, he became a weak fellow and his enemies removed his eyes and got him to start grinding corn for them, turning him into a laughing stock. As long as God is with you, demons will stay away and keep a safe distance from you, but the moment you break your link with God, they will see it and return seeking vengeance. Are you toying with sin? Repent and stabilize your faith in Christ so that you do not provoke the unwanted in your life.

God’s call is a call to rest and peace (Matthew 11:28-30). If there is anyone who sincerely desires to take away your heavy burdens, it is the Lord. Some people consider ministry a burden. No! It is an easy yoke. It is a light burden. Why? It is because the One who gives you the task is also there to supply all you need to perform it, as well as help you carry it. If you have this understanding, you will never fail or fall in ministry. If you leave Jesus, Satan will bring back his former load and add much more to it, to a point that it will be difficult to lift your head. Are you burdened by the devil? I command every satanic load on you to be lifted today! Receive your deliverance but stay in Christ. Accept His love and peace and stay there. Obey His Word and closely watch your link with Him ensuring that it does not disconnect.

PRAYER POINTS:
Lord, any vacuum in my heart that is yet to be occupied by Jesus, let it be completely filled by Him today. Thank God for past Special Holy Ghost services. Pray for a mighty move of God’s power at this year’s Special Holy Ghost service.

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...
