OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL MONDAY 12TH AUGUST 2024 THEME: 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 READ: NUMBERS 23:5-8: 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? 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. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 31-32 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; Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours of my hands, Can fulfill thy law's demands Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone, Thou must save and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand 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 saviour or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids 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 HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: TUESDAY AUGUST 13TH 2024 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) 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. MESSAGE: 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. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 33-36 AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE HYMNAL: 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! 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!

VICTORY THROUGH PRAISE And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 2 Chronicles 20:22 Victory is generally presented in the Bible as an act of God. From Genesis to Revelation, God is always presented as the source of all victory, which He grants to those who obey His commands and put their trust and confidence in Him. Wherever you turn to in the Scripture, this principle holds true. “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:15 In essence, God has destroyed the value and quality of our enemies and has also put their failure, disgrace and shame in open display for all to see. Victory is always presented in the Bible as achieved by God without human intervention. This reality makes it absolutely necessary to praise God whenever we are confronted by the enemy, knowing that victory is assured in Jesus’ name. The Bible also presents praise as a spiritual language that can reach beyond the intellect to touch the heart of God. Whenever God wants to do something really supernatural, He calls for an army of musical warriors, to bombard the stronghold of the enemy. Such was the case in the time of Jehoshaphat King of Judah who deployed divine warriors, and army of worshippers, to march into battle with musical instrument in their hands and songs of praises in their mouths. As they praised and worshiped God, He rose on their behalf and completely destroyed all their enemies. 2 Chronicles 20:22 says: “And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” What I know for sure is that if you praise God, His enemies cannot stand by. Some 30 years ago, we went to Otukpo town in the Middle Belt Region of Nigeria for a programme, with some students. I planned to talk on divine healing. Then, we began to praise God so intensely that the glory of God descended and I forgot every other scripture I had planned for the sermon except Luke 1:37. Suddenly, there were clusters of students kneeling and praying in tongues though they had never heard of the Holy Ghost baptism before. Others joined them praying in tongues and at the end of the day I could not preach. Go ahead now, praise God until you bring down His glory today? As you worship God today, He will arise and scatter all your enemies in the mighty name of Jesus. by: Pastor E.A.
