TOPIC: Divine Strength
MEMORISE: “The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.” – Psalm 29:11 ( KJV)
READ: Habakkuk 3:17-19 (KJV)
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Thessalonians 1-5
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
You cannot always determine a person’s strength from his or her physical appearance. For instance, having big muscles does not necessarily reflect how strong a person is. If a person’s strength is based on physical appearance alone, then David would not have defeated Goliath (1 Samuel 17:42-54).
Ecclesiastes 7:19 says that a wise man is stronger than ten mighty men. In verse 12 of that same chapter, the Bible says: “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” This means that wisdom, money, or both, provides strength and security.
Everyone has something or someone that they depend on as their strength. However, the greatest of strengths comes from above. This is why David said in Psalm 121:1-2:
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
David had a source of strength that helped him overcome battles, live in prosperity, and leave a good legacy. In the Scripture above, he said that his help came from the Lord. In other words, God was his strength. The strength that comes from the Lord is absolutely reliable because, not only is it supreme, it is always constant. That strength does not ever fade; it is everlasting. Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. If the Lord is your strength, your strength will be constant, even in old age. Deuteronomy 34:7 says that at 120 years old, Moses was still very strong; His eyes were not dim and his natural strength had not diminished. The strength that comes from the Lord is comprehensive. Philippians 4:13 says:
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
‘All things’ in the above Scripture includes working miracles and laying hands on the sick for their recovery. Mark 16:17-18 says:
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Beloved, do not be satisfied with your natural strength alone because it is very limited. Like David, look up to God for strength to overcome all of life’s challenges and to do the impossible. Our God is faithful, and He can be relied on.
PRAYER POINT: Father, please be my strength in every area of my life.
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 wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Not the labors 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 the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall 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 Heaven For Today 2024 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – He Never Fails
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: He Never Fails
MEMORISE: “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” – Psalm 73:26 ( KJV)
READ: Isaiah 41:9-12 (KJV)
9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossian 1-4
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
When people seek solutions to their problems outside God, they end up failing, even if it sometimes seems they were solved initially. The advantage we have as God’s children is that we have a Father who never fails. The worst verdict any sick fellow can hear from a doctor is, “There is nothing more we can do.” However, when doctors reach their limit, the Almighty God can step into the situation and bring total healing because He is limitless.
Years ago, a woman told me that her daughter in the United States of America was pregnant and was about to deliver. The doctors discovered that the baby was too big to be delivered naturally, so they decided to perform a surgical procedure to bring the baby out. When they tested her blood, they discovered another issue – she was suffering from a very rare disease that would not allow her blood to clot. This meant that they also could not operate on her because she would bleed to death. God told me to ask the mother to bring two handkerchiefs for me to pray over. Even though I didn’t understand why, I relayed the message to her, and she obeyed. After praying over the handkerchiefs, I told her to travel to meet her daughter in the hospital and lay one of the handkerchiefs on her. When she got to her daughter, she laid one handkerchief on her as I instructed. The following morning, the handkerchief was missing. They searched everywhere, and they just couldn’t find it. The woman then said, “Thank God I brought two handkerchiefs.” She tied the second handkerchief firmly to her daughter’s wrist and asked the doctors to wait to see what happens. The doctors said they could only wait until 10am, after which they will bring out the baby and take their chances with the mother. By 8am however, the baby that they said couldn’t come naturally was delivered safely.’ If you cry out to Jesus when faced with an impossible situation, He will show up for you.
God said in Psalm 50:15 that you should call on Him in the day of trouble and He will answer. I want to advise that before that day of trouble comes, ensure that you are close to God so that He will listen to you when you call. Isaiah 59:1 says that He is not deaf, but sin can stop Him from hearing a person’s call. Live holy so that in the day of trouble, when you call on God, He will hear you.
KEY POINT
Everything else may fail, but Jesus never fails.
HYMN 5 – Blessed Assurance
1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angel descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3 Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Godly Wisdom Vs. Worldly Wisdom
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: Godly Wisdom Vs. Worldly Wisdom
MEMORISE: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” – 1 Corinthians 3:19 ( KJV)
READ: 1 Corinthians 1:25-29 (KJV)
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Philippians 1-4
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
“Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.” Ecclesiastes 7:19
The Scripture above tells us that a wise man can be stronger than ten mighty men put together. Therefore, one can say that having wisdom is a very good thing.
In 1 Corinthians 1:20, the Bible says:
“Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?”
From the Scripture above, we know that there is something called ‘the wisdom of this world’, and that God can turn this wisdom into foolishness. However, the question is, what is the wisdom of this world?
The wisdom of this world is any kind of wisdom that is not of God. In other words, any kind of wisdom that does not agree with the word of God is the wisdom of this world. It may seem good and also seem to yield temporary results, but if it is not of God, it will eventually become foolishness. In the same Scripture that was quoted above, the Bible tells us that when the wisdom of this world was turned into foolishness, the wise men of the world were nowhere to be found. They could no longer make a case for their kind of wisdom.
Some people are boasting now, arguing that their kind of wisdom is the best because it appears to be yielding results for them, either in helping them to make money, or to get into positions of power and so on. However, because their wisdom is not based on the word of God, a time is coming when they will hide their faces in shame because it will be made foolishness.
Beloved, do not be moved by the methods and recommendations of men, even though they might seem very logical. If their recommendations are not based on what the word of God says, they are foolishness, and you should not partake of such. The Lord has superior wisdom for you, and He said that you only need to ask in order to get it (James 1:5). When you begin to use His wisdom, you may seem foolish at first to the people who are using the wisdom of the world, but I tell you from experience, sooner or later, you will have excellent results. Better still, your results will endure, and you will keep on excelling, long after the so-called results of the people who relied on the wisdom of the world have been forgotten.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me Your wisdom so I can live a fulfilled life.
HYMN 3 – Ancient Words
1 Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart
Chorus:
Ancient words, ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart
2 Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e’er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home
3 Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ
4 Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart
