TOPIC: Ask In His Name

MEMORISE: “The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.” – Psalm 145:18 ( KJV)

READ: Psalm 66:17-20 (KJV)

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 33-36

All around the world, people call on God for one thing or the other, and as busy as He is, He said:

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. – Jeremiah 33:3

I have been to the offices of some presidents. Before you go, you must first book an appointment. If the president asks you to come by 2pm and you get there early, you may still not be allowed to see him until 5pm because the president is busy. At times, it is the president who needs you, but you still must wait. No president is as busy as God, yet He is always available to give you His undivided attention whenever you call on Him – He is never too busy.

Jesus said that whenever we come to God in prayers, we should come in His name. I can send you to someone and give you a signed note asking the fellow to give you what you want. However, when I say you should go in my name, what I mean is that, even though you are the one going there, when you arrive at the gate, tell them it is Adeboye who has arrived. When the people see you, they are to receive you and treat you as if I am the one they are welcoming.

Jesus asking you to pray to the Father in His name means that even though you are the one praying, the Father is to see that prayer point as if He prayed it. Since Jesus and the Father are one (John 10:30), it also implies that whatever the Father owns, the Son owns also, so as the Father will not refuse to give Jesus whatever He asks for, He will also not refuse to give you whatever you ask for according to His will.

If Jesus appears to you and tells you that the moment you ask Him for anything, you will get it, will you stay silent or start asking for whatever you need? He already told you in John 16:23 that if you ask Him for anything, He will give it to you. This is why you should pray for everything you need. Many people complain about things they can change by simply praying. Jesus is waiting to give you whatever you ask Him for.

Don’t be worried about anything; just pray in Jesus’ name, and the problem is solved (John 14:13-14).

KEY POINT

Jesus is waiting to hear your requests, don’t hesitate to talk to Him.

HYMN 22 – Sweet Hour Of Prayer!

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

that calls me from a world of care,

and bids me at my Father’s throne

make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,

my soul has often found relief,

and oft escaped the tempter’s snare

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

the joys I feel, the bliss I share

of those whose anxious spirits burn

with strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

where God my Savior shows his face,

and gladly take my station there,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

thy wings shall my petition bear

to him whose truth and faithfulness

engage the waiting soul to bless.

And since he bids me seek his face,

believe his word, and trust his grace,

I’ll cast on him my every care,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Blessed Beyond Curses

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: Blessed Beyond Curses

MEMORISE: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” – Ephesians 1:3 ( KJV)

READ: Numbers 23:5-8 (KJV)

5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 31-32

Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE

How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? – Numbers 23:8

The Scripture above tells us that it is impossible to curse people that have been blessed by God. Such persons can never be affected by curses that are pronounced on them. No matter how hard he tries, there is absolutely nothing the devil can do to curse the fellow that God has blessed. Romans 8:31 says:

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

God is Almighty; if He is on your side, there is no force on the earth, underneath the earth, or in any other place that can work against you.  The Bible says that you have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20) and that price is the blood of Jesus. This means that no one can touch you because you are God’s possession. Through the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus flowing inside you, you are irreversibly blessed. God has blessed you with all heavenly blessings, and there is no man that can curse you! Numbers 23:23 says:

Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

In Proverbs 26:2, you are reassured that:

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

If someone decides to curse you without a genuine cause, do not be moved and do not be afraid. Goliath cursed David and, in a few minutes, his head was in David’s hands. In fact, any fellow who tries to curse you needs your prayers because God’s word says in Genesis 12:3:

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: …

What is that genuine cause that can make a curse active even on a believer? It is sin. After Balaam could not curse the people of Israel because they were blessed, they were tricked into sleeping with strange women, and before they knew it, they were cursed with diseases. If you want to be blessed beyond curses, after surrendering your life to Jesus, you must ensure that you live holy. A life without Jesus does not have protection against any curse. As long as you remain a child of God, you are untouchable to curses.

KEY POINT

Surrender your life to Jesus and live holy to ensure that you are blessed beyond curses.

HYMN 19 – Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All could never sin erase,

Thou must save, and save by grace.

3 Nothing in my hands I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress,

Helpless, look to Thee for grace:

Foul, I to the fountain fly,

Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Purpose Of His Life, Death And Resurrection

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: The Purpose Of His Life, Death And Resurrection

MEMORISE: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10 ( KJV)

READ: John 1:19-29 (KJV)

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 28-30

Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE

I am quite sure that you are aware that over two thousand years ago, Jesus walked the face of the earth as a human being like you and me. However, are you deeply aware of the exact reason for which He came to the earth in human form? John 1:14 says:

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

What was Jesus’ purpose for coming to the world as a man? Let us examine some of the answers that  the Bible gives us concerning this:

He came to call sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:13 says, “But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

He came to give eternal life. John 10:10 says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

He came to heal, deliver and set the captives free. Luke 4:18 says, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,”

To destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8) says, “… For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

Considering these scriptural references about Jesus’ purpose for coming into this world, has His coming had any impact on your life? If you cannot answer this question clearly, then you need to invite Jesus into your life, even if you have done so before. Surrender your life completely to Him today and make a commitment to live holy going forward. This way, the purpose of Jesus coming to the earth as a man will be fulfilled in your life, and you will live above sicknesses, diseases, captivity, and the works of the devil. You will enjoy abundant and eternal life in Christ Jesus.

KEY POINT

Jesus came to the earth so that you may have eternal life.

HYMN 14 – O What A Wonderful, Wonderful Day

1 O what a wonderful day that will be

When Jesus descends to the air;

Saints who have died, with the living shall be

All gathered to be with Him there.

Refrain:

Soon shall we see Him, the Saviour we love,

When He descends from the mansions above;

And with the King in His glory we’ll reign,

For He is coming, year, coming again.

2 They shall be changed and be like Him for aye,

When He returns for His own;

O what a glorious meeting that day,

With Jesus and those we have known!

3 Death will be ended and sorrow shall flee,

The darkness of sin will be past;

All the redeemed their Redeemer shall see,

And enter His glory at last.
