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

RECOVER YOUR STOLEN BLESSINGS   Memorise; Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:13 Read: 2 nd Chronicles 7:12-14, 12  And the   Lord   appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13  If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Bible in one year: John 17:1-19:16, Job 33:8-18 Time and time again, we have seen God dealing with us as a father deals with his children. This is because we are His children and He is our father. God has been so gracious to us on many occasions. He will not always punish us without showing me...

DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS   Memorise: There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, So I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5 Read: Isaiah 49:24-26, 24  Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 25  But thus saith the   Lord , Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26  And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the   Lord   am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. Bible in one year; John 14:15-16:33, Job 32:15-33:7 God is worthy to be praised at every moment of our lives. He is our strength, our rock, our fortress, our shield and high tower. Proverbs 18:1...

LIVING ABOVE NATURAL LIMITS  Memorise: Jesus saith unto her, saith I not unto Thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest See the glory of God. John 11:40 Read: Psalm 67:1-7, 67  God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 2  That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. 3  Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 4  O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. 5  Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6  Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7  God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Bible in one year: John 12:20-14:14, Job 32:1-14 The presence of God in a life makes the difference. When you carry the presence of God, you will see the invisible and hear the inaud...

THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE   Memorise: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. 1 st Corinthians 12:8 Read: Daniel 6:1-3, 6  It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; 2  And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. 3  Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Bible in one year: John 10:22-12:19, Job 31:29-40 One of the gems that made Joshua took over the mantle of leadership from his master was the excellent spirit he carried. Joshua excelled in all matters that most of his age mates and contemporaries. Those who remain in the crowd cannot become excellent in life, because excellence is a private matter, but with a public...

WORK A DIVINE MANDATE   Memorise: But Jesus answered them, My father worketh hitherto, and I work. John 5:17 Read: Genesis 2:8-11, 8  And the   Lord   God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9  And out of the ground made the   Lord   God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11  The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; Bible in one year: John 8:31-10:21, Job 31:16-28 It is amazing to know that even though the work of creation ended millions of years ago, the creator is still working on His creation. The father has not gone to sleep like many biblical scholars and theologians believe. The trinity is ...

A WITNESS OR A BETRAYER?   Memorise: Now he that betrayed gave them a sign, Saying, whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. Matthew 26:48 Read: John 1:20-34, 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...

CAST AND CATCH   Memorise: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. Proverb 11:24 Read: Luke 5:4-7,   4  Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6  And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7  And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. Bible in one year: John 5:19-6:59, Job 30:24-31:4 There are rewards for righteous behaviour and there are punishments for evil deeds. The person who gives freely will never lack good thing while the one who believes that there is wisdom in being...

  CHILDREN! FELLOW THE WAY   Memorise: My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: Proverbs 1:8 Read: Ephesians 6:1-3 , 6  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2  Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Bible in one year: John 4:30-5:18, Job 30:16-23 The Bible teaches that children have mandatory responsibilities to their parents. As a matter of fact, Children owe their parents certain important duties that include the obligation to respect honour and obey them. Children are the heritage of the Lord and God has a special interest in their well-being. Meanwhile God is a disciplinarian as revealed in Revelation 3:19 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” God has decided to commit the discipline of children to their parents as caretakers for Him; ther...

LOVE, THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW II   Memorise: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1 st John 5:2 Read: 1 st Corinthians 13:4-7, 4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Bible in one year: John 3:16-4:30, Job 30:9-16 The memory verse for today tells us in very strict terms the godly means of measuring love among brethren. Any show of love that does not stem from the love of God and obedience of His commandments, should be considered fake and deceptive. It should be noted that the focus of Apostle Paul here is not on the fulfilment of the Mosaic Law, but rather about the biblical principle as establis...
