Open Heavens 2022 Daily Devotional Messages, By Pastor E.A Adeboye.

TURE SATISFACTION  Memorise: And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Colossians 2:10 Read: John 7:37-39, Bible in one year: Exodus 20:22-22:15, Romans 10:5-21 Our Lord Jesus Christ is so awesome; not only does He provide peace, joy, promotion, victory and rest, He also gives satisfaction. The Bible in John 7:37 says: “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” Jesus Christ is the true thirst-quencher. He knows what you need and has it in abundance. He is willing to quench that thirst of yours if only you would take it to Him. Today, many people realise that they need something in their life. They can feel unexplainable hunger pangs within their souls and are gripped with a strong thirst for something inside of them. But because they do not really know what can quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger, they use just about anything to try to fill this void....

  DEMONS HINDER DESTINIES  Memorise: But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Mathew 15:13 Read: Luke 8:1-3, Bible in one year: Exodus 18:1-20:21, Romans 9:19-10:4 As a believer in Christ, one of the traits that should differentiate you from an ordinary fellow is the ability to cast out demons ( Mark 16:17 ). However, if demons are tormenting you and you fail to do something about them, don’t expect God to do anything either. He has already done what He should do by giving you authority over them. He expects you to exercise this authority before He takes the next step of enforcement. The ball is now in your court; if you fail to pass it to Him, He will leave you with the ball. In 2 nd Kings 4:1-7 , we read of a window whose husband was a prophet. The man died and left her with two boys and a lot of debt. Initially, when the creator came calling, she was not the only one owing money, she might have said to herself li...

THE LONG WAIT  Memorise: And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 nd Peter 3:4 Read: Matthew 25:1-13, Bible in one year: Exodus 15:22-17:16, Romans 9:1-18 Imagine that while running a marathon, with all your focus on the finish line, you suddenly run out of energy; would it be easy for you to complete the race? Definitely not! Most likely, you would have to pull out of the race. We see this scenario repeatedly playing out itself in the Christian race. Many people who started the Christian race, who were expected to run the race to the end, have suddenly run out of steam and are falling by the wayside. When the 10 virgins in our Bible reading started their race, they all hoped to finish it. One lesson this parable teaches us is that the race may be longer than expected. If anything, you must plan to run for as long as it takes until you reach the finish line. Only five of...

  HE CONTROLS TIME AND SEASONS  Memorise: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Daniel 2:21 Read: Daniel 2:19-21, Bible in one year: Exodus 13:17-15:21, Romans 8:18-39 Do you know that God still reverses the irreversible? He can go into your past to affect your today, and He can also go into your past to affect your today, and He can also go into your future and make it glorious. He can even change your appointment with death to a future date, just as He extended King Hezekiah’s life by 15 years ( 2 nd Kings 20:6 ). This shall be your portion in Jesus’ Name! Some years ago, a woman came from America to a Holy Ghost service we organised in London . She was advanced in age, had attained menopause and she was barren. During the course of the programme, a word of knowledge came that there was a woman in the congregation for whom God had just removed 10 yea...

SHINE IN PROSPERITY Memorise: Cry yet, saying, thus saith the LORD of hosts; my cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion , and shall yet choose Jerusalem . Zechariah 1:17 Read: Deuteronomy 28:9-13, Bible in one year: Exodus 12:1-13:16, Romans 8:1-17 While it is true that the Lord expects us to shine in the areas of our character and soul-winning, He also expects us to shine in the area of prosperity. No wonder He gave us great promises on prosperity, such as these found in Deuteronomy 28:12: “The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.” Poverty is one of the repercussions of sin; hence there is so much poverty across the globe. God is not happy with the level of poverty in the world, this is why He has chosen to make His children prosper and set them as lights that will w...

  KNOW YOUR PLACE  Memorise: But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judge of no man. 1 st Corinthians 2:15 Read: Numbers 12:1-10, Bible in one year: Exodus 10-11, Romans 7 Although Miriam was Moses’ elder sister and leader of the women of Israel , she was a casualty of God’s judgement in the wilderness. It is instructive to note that an individual occupying such a sensitive position could not escape God’s judgement when she goofed. For speaking against Moses, God struck her with leprosy. It took the intercession of Moses to reduce her sentence to one week; otherwise she might have died a leper ( Numbers 12:13-15 ). From this example, every man should know their place and learn never to speak against God’s servants. The more anointed they are, the more dangerous it is to offend them. If Psalm 105:14-15 is anything to go by, God does not permit anyone to harm His anointed. If God’s anointed offends you, apart from telling the fellow directly, you can rep...

GODS GOODNESS IS COMING  Memorise: I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 Read: Psalm 27:12-14, Bible in one year: Exodus 8:16-9:35, Romans 6 Despondency is a tool the devil uses to steal people’s vision. He injects this poison into a man’s heart through the experience of loss and suffering. That today is bad and the future looks bleak does not mean that your tomorrow will be terrible. As long as you are in Christ, you can rest assured that your tomorrow will be alright. Don’t give up on your vision! Even if the devil stole a particular blessing from you, don’t give him your vision. Dry up your tears because you need clear eyes to see new opportunities that God is giving to you. In fact, the avenue to your recovery can be around you as we speak, but as long as your eyes are flooded with tears, you will see only the situation and not the opportunities. Has the enemy taken everything from you like he did to job? Tha...

THE MAJESTY OF HIS PERSON  Memorise: And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angles of God worship him. Hebrew 1:6 Read: Hebrew 1:1-9, Bible in one year: Exodus 6:1-8:15, Romans 5 The majesty of a king is seen in the power and influences his name commands. In the whole universe, there is no king greater than the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who can open both willing and unwilling doors ( Revelation 3:7 ). By His Name, you have access to all doors in Heaven, on earth and in any part of the spirit realm. I pray that His Name will work for you whenever you call on Him from today in Jesus’ Name. Apart from opening doors, His Name can secure and sustain your deliverance from forces of darkness, because it is the only name that has the authority to chase out demons ( Mark 16:17 ).  His Name secures and sustains your healing, because it is the only name sickness and diseases will hear and have no choice but to obey ( Mark 16:18 )...

TOLERATING DEMONS? Memorise: Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27 Read: Acts 16:16-18, 16  And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17  The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18  And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. MESSAGE! One of the signs affirming that you have received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is the ability to cast out demons. This grace is not the exclusive preserve of a few Christians who are branded “deliverance ministers”; rather, it should be commonplace among all Christians ( Mark 16:17-18 ). However, you need to know that you cannot cast out demons while living in sin; they will expose you...
