Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Psalms 32:6 Read: Numbers 14: 35-45 T ime is an asset given by God to man. However, its illusionary static nature when considered over a short span deceives men. Time is slowly ticking away, quickly converting every second in the present into a thing of the past. How you relate with time will determine whether you will succeed or not. In Numbers 13 and 14, God asked the children of Israel to go and possess the Promised Land, a great opportunity. So they sent 12 spies to check it out and report back to them. Ten of them gave an evil report by stating all they saw physically and concluding that it would be impossible for them to take the land. On the other hand, Caleb and Joshua gave a good report by saying that the p...

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Isaiah 66:5 Read : Exodus 4:21-23 O n the Mount of Transfiguration, God said Jesus Christ is His Son that must be heard (Matthew 17:5). Hearing Him is most important for everyone who comes into this world. Why must you hear Him? It is because He has something to say to you in every area of your life that can be of benefit to you, which you may not yet know. You need to also hear Him because He holds the key to your success in life and ministry. You need to hear Him because being your creator and the creator of the earth; He knows what to do to fix any problem that arises concerning His creation. From today, the Lord will grant you grace to hear Jesus and obey prom...

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Psalms 90:2 Read: 1 Samuel 5:1-5 One remarkable, unchangeable truth about our God is that He is the One ever in charge. He is in charge forever! He has always been in charge and will ever be in charge hence Revelation 1:8 says He is the Alpha and Omega. In Exodus 3:14, He says I AM that I AM. That means He is in charge even right now. Praise God! When we say our God reigneth, it means since no two captains can be in a ship, our God is the One in charge of our ship. When our God is reigning in a life, sickness or disease cannot be ruling there at the same time. A man was brought to Jesus in whose life sickness ruled. He was paralyzed and was carried by four people to where Jesus was. When they could not come anywhere close to the door,...

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13 Read: Isaiah 41: 10-13 G od cannot tolerate the abuse of power. When you use the anointing meant to repair and build up lives to destroy lives, it amounts to abuse of power. There are some men of God who have become so intolerant of their wives. When they started, they were nobody but today God has lifted them. Suddenly, they realize their wife is not educated, pretty or modern enough for their self-styled ministry. They will pick up quarrels at the slightest provocation. Since they cannot divorce, they will begin to use their tongue to condemn, devalue and pronounce death on such wives hoping that with their anointed tongues they can kill their spouse and then get married to some particular dynamic sister they have seen. This is wickedness of the highest order....

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. Luke 7:7 Read: Luke 7:1-10 O ne person who understood authority and order is the Centurion of Luke 7:1-10. When he met Jesus and asked of Him healing for his sick servant, he asked the Lord not to bother coming to his house as he was not worthy of such honour. He only requested a word from Jesus to heal his servant where he was. By this, the centurion was saying he recognised the link between Jesus and His Father hence a word of command from Jesus would be like His Father was the One dishing it out. Being a soldier under Caesar, the centurion could issue orders to soldiers under him and they would obey, not because of him, but because of his master Caesar. From this encounter the Centurion had with Jesus, it is glaring that what you know will determi...

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9. Read: John 10:7-9 T o enter into a house or a car, it is expected that you use the door. Any other mode of entry is seen as illegal and makes its user a criminal of some sort. What then is a door? A door is the boundary between in and out. When the door is shut, those who are inside stay indoors while those who are outside stay out. In Matthew 25:1-12, Jesus tells us the parable of the 10 virgins. As soon as the bridegroom arrived, the wise virgins went in with him and the door was shut. It is only when a door is open that those inside can go out and those outside can come in. The door needs to open so that all your blessings can come in, and every plant God has not planted in your life can go out. There may be several other doors but Jesus Christ is the Door. He is the door that grants you access....
