GOD FRUSTRATES SATANIC DEVICES Friday 20 April


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish. Isaiah 44:25

Read: Isaiah 44:24-26

The one you have as a father determines the number of doors that can open to you. A friend of mine was coming from America to attend our Convention but decided to stop over in Kenya thinking it would be easier to get a visa there. On arrival, he was told to wait for three days. He told them that the convention he was going for would have ended by then. Then somebody asked him, “which Convention are you talking about?”, “The convention of Redeemed Christian Church of God”, he replied. The officer then retorted: “You should have said that earlier”. An hour later, he got his visa. Are you a bona fide child of God? If you are not, give your life to Jesus today! Has a particular door you have been knocking refused to open? In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I command that good door to open to you know.

One of the most important responsibilities of a father to his child is to provide security from external aggression. Our Heavenly Father in fulfilling his responsibilities promises to neutralise any kind of weapon that has been manufactured against us - be it spiritual, physical, psychological or intellectual (Isaiah 54:17). In Mark 9:17-27, a child was brought to Jesus with a particular demonic manifestation. From childhood, these stubborn demons threw the child into fire just to get him completely roasted and at other times, he was thrown into a body of water to drown him. He was preserved by the sheer vigilance of the people around him who normally rescued him but he was totally set free by the word of Jesus. There is a user of this devotional; something keeps pulling you into fire. Even after the fire burns you slightly, you still see yourself attracted to it. The Lord is setting you free. That satanic hold over your life is broken today. I decree enmity between you and that spirit of destruction. It shall not see your direction again from this moment. As the Lord effect your deliverance, testify to His glory in your church. Our Father will neutralize every device against you and your family.

PRAYER POINT:
Every negative force -visible or invisible- pulling me or members of my family into destruction, be destroyed now in Jesus name.
 
Bible in one year: Isaiah 16-18

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...
