OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: TUESDAY 24TH OCTOBER 2017
THEME: THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU.
Memorise:
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his
favor is life: weeping may endure for a
night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm
30:5
Read: Job 1:13-19; Job 42:12-13
1:13 And there was a day when his sons
and his daughters were eating and drinking
wine in their eldest brother's house:
1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job,
and said, The oxen were plowing, and the
asses feeding beside them:
1:15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and
took them away; yea, they have slain the
servants with the edge of the sword; and I
only am escaped alone to tell thee.
1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came
also another, and said, The fire of God is
fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the
sheep, and the servants, and consumed
them; and I only am escaped alone to tell
thee.
1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came
also another, and said, The Chaldeans made
out three bands, and fell upon the camels,
and have carried them away, yea, and slain
the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came
also another, and said, Thy sons and thy
daughters were eating and drinking wine in
their eldest brother's house:
1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind
from the wilderness, and smote the four
corners of the house, and it fell upon the
young men, and they are dead; and I only
am escaped alone to tell thee.
42:12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of
Job more than his beginning: for he had
fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand
camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a
thousand she asses.
42:13 He had also seven sons and three
daughters.
Message:
If you will ever achieve anything tangible in
life, you need faith that hinges on God and
that believes in possibilities. If our God could
frame the universe through His word, then
there is no situation or circumstance
beyond His control (Hebrews 11:3). There is
no situation in your life that He cannot
reverse. He can bring hope to your life
irrespective of the long-standing problems
in it. In John 5:1-8, we see the story of a
man at the pool of Bethesda, who had been
in the same sad condition for 38 years. He
claimed that the reason why he had not
been made whole was because he had no
man to assist him; but by the time the Lord
Jesus came on the scene, his problems
ceased without the help of any man.
Irrespective of the many years of rejection
you have suffered, the Almighty God is
attending to your situation right now in
Jesus’ Name. There are families that have
lost so many things. They have been
through all sorts of problems. In Genesis
18:1-10, we have the account of Abraham
and Sarah, who had waited several years for
the fulfillment of God’s promise. The angels
of God finally visited them and assured them
that their long awaited blessing was on the
way. Despite all the odds stacked against
them physiologically, God’s purpose was
established in their lives. I speak the word of
God to every family going through pains: the
Almighty God will divinely visit you and settle
you in Jesus’ Name.
There are some people in business who are
already planning to close down their offices
and outlets because of the situation of
things. I want you to know that your
moment of refreshing is on the way. Don’t
quit, because the Almighty God will restore
to you all that you have lost. Today’s Bible
reading narrates how Job lost everything he
had, from his children to his investments.
However, the scripture tells us that the
Almighty God arose and blessed his latter
end than his beginning (Job 42:12). I want
to assure you that irrespective of how harsh
the economic climate is, the Almighty God
will sort you out in Jesus’ Name. Also, there
is hope for a nation. A closer look at all that
is going on around the world would make
anyone feel very uncomfortable. In 2 Kings
6:24-7:1, the economy of Samaria was very
bad due to a siege. All the technocrats had
tried all they could but things got out of
hand. At the peak of this adverse situation,
the man of God prophesied that things
would change suddenly. Those who
understand global economic indices said
that this was impossible. The Almighty God
however performed His word as He had
spoken it. I announce to you that it is about
to rain upon your life, family, career,
business and nation in Jesus’ Name. God will
intervene and put an end to your problems
in Jesus’ Name.
Key Point:
Father, let my joy begin now.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
1Timothy 3-6
Daniel 11:36-45
AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
HYMN 1: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
