TOPIC: Drawing Miracles
MEMORISE: “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” – Mark 9:23 (KJV)
READ: Mark 5:21-34 (KJV)
21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 20-21
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
Every now and then in the Bible, you read about people who got ‘unplanned’ miracles. For example, in the Gospels, Jesus would be going somewhere, not planning to pray for anyone along the way, but somehow, someone would get a miracle from Him. One of such people is the woman with the issue of blood in our Bible reading today. Jesus was on His way to raise Jairus’ daughter from the dead when she met him. She pushed through the crowd that followed Him until she was able to touch His garment and get her miracle. In doing so, all the sufferings in the last 12 years of her life vanished. If she had not done what she did, she might have died a sick and wretched woman.
Do you know that you can get a miracle even when a minister of God is not praying for you? You can be at a programme, and while a ministration is going on, if you say to yourself just like the woman with the issue of blood, “If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will receive my miracle,” God will do it.
One of our drummers in RCCG had been waiting on God for the fruit of the womb. One day, while the Holy Ghost Service was going on, he said in his heart, “If the General Overseer can just look at me, I will have my child.” I didn’t know what was going on, I just looked his way, and he was very excited. Nine months later, his baby came. There was also a woman many years ago who had heard of the great things God was doing through us. She decided to come for one of our programmes and said in her heart, “If I can just see the man of God, I will receive my healing.” When I came up, she asked those around her to confirm that the fellow on the altar was me. When they confirmed it, she started rejoicing, and she got her miracle.
If you have faith, you can get your miracle at any time. Even if a minister of God does not mention your case or lay hands on you during a ministration, you can get a miracle from God through him. You don’t have to wait for a minister of God to pray for you. You can get a miracle through him or her with your faith.
REFLECTION
Do you have the kind of faith that draws miracles from God?

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – When God Moves

TOPIC: When God Moves
MEMORISE: “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” – Matthew 9:35 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 9:35-36 (KJV)
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 18-19
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
When God moves, He distributes miracles along His path. When you read through the Bible, you will see many instances where this happened. For example, in Genesis 18, He was going to Sodom, but on His way, He stopped at Abraham’s tent to give him a miracle. Also, in Luke 7:11-15, Jesus was going into the city of Nain and He saw a dead man being carried to his grave. He touched the coffin, and immediately, the dead man came back to life.
Psalm 97:3 says that fire goes before God. In other words, He has a convoy that goes before Him that is made of fire. This means that whenever He is moving, fire goes ahead of Him, clearing everything that is evil, and preparing the way for the One whose name is ‘Consuming Fire’. Even if you are not the one that God is coming to see, as He is passing by your house, everything that is considered evil in your home will be dealt with. When the One who is passing by is the Almighty God Himself, then no sickness, pain, sorrow, poverty, or anything evil, will remain.
Beloved, this is why it is good to have Christian neighbours. If you have Christian neighbours, every now and then, God will come to visit them. When He comes to visit them, since you are nearby, you should receive a miracle as well. This is why you should do something about the salvation of the people who live close to you, as well as everyone you interact with regularly. The Bible says that righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34), therefore, if you are surrounded by righteous people, God will move more frequently within your community, ensuring that you and the entire community are continually blessed in Him.
You should note, however, that the Consuming Fire hates sin. Therefore, when He moves, everything that relates to sin in His path will be destroyed. This is why you must abstain from sin because you do not want to become a victim of the Consuming Fire whenever He is moving around you.
Beloved, ensure that you live a holy life and also surround yourself with true children of God so that whenever God moves around
PRAYER POINT
Father, please move around me today so that I can receive a miracle.
HYMN 15 – What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Friendship With God
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: Friendship With God
MEMORISE: “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” – John 15:14 (KJV)
READ: John 15:13-15 (KJV)
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 16-17
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
God has many children, but as every parent knows, there is always that one child that is a favourite. Even though they do not like to admit it, their relationship with that child goes beyond regular parenting; it often extends into friendship. Likewise, God doesn’t just want you to be His child, He wants you to be so close to Him that He can consider you His friend.
Jesus loves His friends so dearly that He said that He was willing to lay down His life for them (John 15:13). Do you have a friend who can inject himself with a disease so that you will not be infected with it? This can be likened to what Jesus did in Matthew 8:17. Can any of your friends take a bullet for you? Jesus did more than this when He was beaten by Roman soldiers and hung on a cross. This means that Jesus is the best friend that anyone can ever have.
People often tell tales of friends that they used to have. While it is common for people to betray friendships because of selfish interests or terminate them because of disagreements, the friendship of Jesus Christ lasts forever. Whether you are going through a storm (Matthew 14:24-25), or you are caught in a fire (Daniel 3:22-25), He will never leave your side. Even when He knows that you can betray His friendship, He will remain your friend indeed (Luke 22:31-32). The Bible says in John 13:1 that He loves until the end.
What does it take to become a friend of God? Our memory verse for today tells us that we can become His friend by obeying His commandments. This goes beyond staying away from sin; it means that when He says, “Don’t eat, I want you to fast today,” you should do it. When you are tired, and all you want to do is sleep, if He says, “Let us discuss before you sleep,” you should push the sleep aside and pray. When He says, “Give me your car,” you should do it. Abraham was called a friend of God in 2 Chronicles 20:7 because, when God asked him to sacrifice his son in Genesis 22:1-3, he was ready to do it.
Beloved, when God instructs you to do anything, you should make the necessary sacrifices and obey Him promptly. Nothing in this world should be too big for you to sacrifice to God. This is the only way to become His friend. Are you ready to become God’s friend?
KEY POINT
Obeying God’s commandments is the key to becoming His friend.
HYMN 27 – What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
