🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️  DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SATURDAY 31ST JULY 2021 THEME: WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES?    MEMORISE: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 Bible Reading: John 4:23-24. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. MESSAGE: The Scriptures present us with a marked difference between the priorities of our Lord Jesus Christ and the concerns of His disciples. Just like His disciples, many of us are too bothered with how to meet our physical, psychological and emotional needs, rather than on spiritual things. We immerse ourselves in temporal concerns. Jesus assured His disciples that the Father knew their needs and would always provide for them (Luk

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: FRIDAY 30TH JULY 2021. THEME: THE MARKS OF THE LORD JESUS.    MEMORISE: From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Galatians 6:17 BIBLE READING: TITUS 2:11-15. 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. MESSAGE:     A mark can be described as an impression, a distinguishing trait or quality. Every genuine child of God bears some mark within them that identifies him or her as a child of God.  “T

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: THURSDAY 29TH JULY 2021. THEME: THE FOR BODILY EXERCISE.    MEMORISE: For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Timothy 4:8  BIBLE READING: 3 JOHN 2 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. MESSAGE:     E very sane person wishes to be healthy, wealthy, fulfilled and have longevity. 1 Chronicles 29:26-28 says: “Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel…..And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour:….” Therefore, good health, long life and prosperity are the heritage of God’s children. Bodily exercise may indeed profit little compared to the spiritual benefits of godliness, but a healthy body is vital to successful living and longevity. Man is a tripartite being. The Bible teaches that man consist of the spirit, soul and body

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY 28TH JULY 2021. THEME: THE BLOOD OF JESUS.    MEMORISE: For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11 BIBLE READING: HEBREWS 9:24-28 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he ap

  🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: TUESDAY 27TH JULY 2021. THEME: RENEWING THE MIND.    MEMORISE:  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  Romans 12:2 BIBLE READING: ROMANS 12:1-2 1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. MESSAGE:    O ne striking thing about holiness is that it is what makes God who He is. As human beings, if we were to be asked the question “Who is God?” we might say “God is love, God is powerful, God is merciful, God is faithful…” However, if any member of the hosts of heavens were to be asked the same question, they would choru

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: MONDAY 26TH JULY 2021 THEME: PRAYER, PRAISE AND WORSHIP.    MEMORISE: Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17   BIBLE READING: ACTS 16:25-34. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be sa

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊          DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY 25TH JULY 2021. THEME: LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.    MEMORISE: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 BIBLE READING: DANIEL 6:25-28 25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. 27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. 28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. MESSAGE:         G od wants His children to shine as stars. From the Bible reading of today, you would see th

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SATURDAY 24TH JULY 2021. THEME: WHEN REVIVAL COMES II.    MEMORISE: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  Psalm 51:10 BIBLE READING: PSALM 51:1-3 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. MESSAGE:     T oday, I want you to take a self-evaluation: is there anything you have done that could land you in hell? Today is the day of repentance and restoration. A man of God once said “When genuine revival comes, everybody, including pastors, would have one or two things to repent of”. Revival is not the working of miracles; it is an increased spiritual interest or renewal of a life of holiness, in complete obedience to the word of God. The first step towards experiencing

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: FRIDAY 23RD JULY 2021 THEME: WHEN REVIVAL COMES I.    MEMORISE: Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Psalm 85:6 BIBLE READING: PSALM 85:4-7 4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. MESSAGE: In Christianity, revival generally refers to increased spiritual fervency or renewal in the congregation of believers. What happens when revival comes? According to our Bible reading of today, people turn away from their wickedness when revival comes. Salvation becomes a household commodity and the anger of God ceases to burn against people. One pleasant thing about God concerning sinners is that He would always warn them of the dangers of a sinful life so they may

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: THURSDAY 22ND JULY 2021. THEME: ASPIRING TO HIGHER LEVELS?    MEMORISE: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.  Matthew 23:12 BIBLE READING: PSALM 61:2 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. MESSAGE: There are various levels in life. When we talk about health, we have those who are sick; even among the sick, there are levels of sickness- some are sick, some are very sick while some have terminal sickness. Some may even be dying. When we talk about wealth, there are destitute. The poor, the comfortable, the rich, the very rich, the wealthy and the flourishing. The flourishing are those who, according to the Bible lend to nations. There are also those who have so much abundance that it is difficult to imagine. In 2 Chronicles 9:20 we read: “And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon w

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY 21ST JULY 2021. THEME: DON’T BE WORLDLY.    MEMORISE: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 BIBLE READING: 1 JOHN 2:15-17. 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. MESSAGE: In today’s memory verse, Apostle Pau enjoins us not to love the world and warned that we cannot love God and the world at the same time. He urges further that we nt engage in the works of darkness as listed in Ephesians 5:4,5 and 12: “Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient:….

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: TUESDAY 20TH JULY 2021. THEME: IDENTIFY YOUR OFFICE AND OPERATE THEREIN.    MEMORISE: Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. Proverbs 22:29 BIBLE READING: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-7. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. MESSAGE: Apostle Paul tells us in the Bible reading of today that he would not want us to be ignorant of the truth concerning our calling as Christians and workers in the vineyard. Hosea’s 4:6 also emphasizes the danger of ignorance:  “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge……” In order words, lies hold people captive! In Proverbs 22:29 we read that a person who is diligent in his or her business shall

🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: MONDAY 19TH JULY 2021. THEME: ABIDE IN CHRIST.   MEMORISE: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4 BIBLE READING: JOHN 15:4-8. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. MESSAGE:       T he meaning of the name Emmanuel is not real to many so-called children of God b

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY 18TH JULY 2021. THEME: NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST II.    MEMORISE: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:17 BIBLE READING: ISAIAH 43:18-19. 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. MESSAGE: Everybody desires new things. As we expect new things to come our way, the Almighty God shall give them to us this season in Jesus’ name. God says He will do a new thing (Isaiah 43:19). To whom is He making this promise? To His people, of course. This leads all those who are expecting a new thing this season to ask themselves some fundamental questions: Am I a child of God? Does God know me? Am I among His elect? Am I among the redeemed of the Lord? What i

THEME: NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST I.   MEMORISE: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17   BIBLE READING: ROMANS 7:18-25 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.  20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊    DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: FRIDAY 16TH JULY 2021.   THEME: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS.   MEMORISE: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. --Revelation 3:21   BIBLE READING: ROMANS 8:35-39 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. MESSAGE: It is sweet to be a conqueror but sweeter still to be more than a conqueror

 🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊           DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE:- THURSDAY 15TH JULY 2021. THEME: FAITH: A DIMENSION OF REALITY.    MEMORISE:  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews11:1 BIBLE READING: GENESIS 12:1-4. 1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. MESSAGE: The concept of faith is a great one and it is backed by evidence. For example, Hebrews 11:8 says: “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should aft

   🎊♨️ OPEN HEAVENS ♨️🎊    DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY 14TH JULY 2021. THEME: WANT YOUR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED. MEMORISE: Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: Isaiah 59:1 BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 6:9-13. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. MESSAGE: Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us what the contents of our prayers should be in the Scripture reading of today. We must draw some eternal lessons from this passage. One, we must acknowledge the Fatherhood of God if we want to receive answers to our prayers. Jesus Christ said “….” – Matthew 15:26. Who are the dogs? The Bi
