PREVENTING JUDGEMENT Wednesday 29 February


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Ecclesiastes 11:6

Read: Genesis 8:8-12

There is great power in a seed. The only way to unleash the potentials of a seed is by sowing it. If you want your seed to deliver its harvest to you, sow it. A seed sown is capable of preventing future curses and judgement from coming on you, your loved ones and even your community. Your seed can avert negative events or occurrences. Your seed can affect even the World! How powerful a seed can be! I Genesis 8:18-22, after Noah and other survivours of the flood disembarked from the ark, he gave an offering to the Lord of every clean animal and fowl. God perceived a good aroma from that offering and He said that in spite of the atrocities of men, He will no longer destroy the world with flood. There is seed you can give whose aroma will be pleasant to God that He will say that you and your entire generation will no more experience destruction. Once it has gone out of His lips the case is closed. While foolish people are bringing curses upon their families and generations, wise people are sowing the seeds that would totally eradicate curses from their lineage.

Similarly, your seed is connected to your future. The seed you sow today will give you a tomorrow of joy (Ecclesiastes 11:1-4, 6). If you are sowing seeds, you are only guaranteeing yourself of a tomorrow. If you sow seeds, you will expect the harvest, and by the grace of God, you will take your harvest. Some people do not sow; they think they are smart but they are robbing themselves of their tomorrow. Some people live for only today, nothing for tomorrow. This is wrong. You have a tomorrow. Sow into it so that it will be great. Your seed is not lost. It will return to you in a greater form someday. Adam sowed a rib and got a wife. God sowed His Son, and is getting millions into His Kingdom. Your seed is not wasted and it is not a depletion of your resources but what will make your resources to multiply. Your seed will serve you and you will be the greatest beneficiary of it. Sow today and keep on sowing.

ACTION POINT:
Prayerfully ask God to guide you on what to sow to keep your entire family or lineage from divine judgement. Go ahead and sow it.

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...
