TOPIC: Prayers For Marriages
MEMORISE: “Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:” – Romans 15:5 (KJV)
READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (KJV)
9 Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, they have heat, but how can one be warm alone?
12 If one prevails against him, two shall withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 16-18

HYMN 22 – 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
to make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief
and 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
with 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!

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – When God Beckons On You

TOPIC: When God Beckons On You
MEMORISE: “That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.” – 1 Samuel 3:4 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 14-15
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
Today’s Bible reading shows that when God beckons on you, it is an invitation to rest.
There is a difference between hard labor and other types of work. God expects you to work. (2 Thessalonians 3:10) says that if you don’t work, you are not to eat. However, laborers work from sunrise to sundown, especially those who labor at menial jobs. They earn just enough money to keep body and soul together. I decree that you will no longer struggle before you eat, in Jesus’ name.
One of the reasons you are reading this now is because God beckoned on you. When He beckons, he says, “Destiny is calling you.” In Exodus 3:1-10, Moses was at the backside of the desert when he suddenly saw a burning bush that was not consumed. He said, “I will turn aside and see.” That was a beckoning, and by the time He responded, God told him that his days of staying in the wilderness were over, and it was now time to fulfill his destiny. In Mark 3:13-15, Jesus went to the top of a mountain and beckoned to those He desired, and they came unto Him. Those people (except Judas Iscariot) later became the Apostles we know today.
The first thing you are to do when He beckons is to take up His yoke; in other words, make His desire your concern and pursue the things He seeks. When you think of the most significant thing God seeks, it is souls. If you want to fulfill your destiny, you will take up the yoke of winning souls and begin to see how He arranges things for you to achieve your destiny.
My primary pursuit was to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, but God beckoned on me, and I took up His yoke of winning souls. That is how I fulfilled my destiny, and now Vice Chancellors call me Daddy. You have no idea what your true destiny is until you start winning souls and doing the work of God.
If you think soul winning is only for evangelists and pastors, please study Matthew 28:19-20 carefully. All followers of Jesus Christ are commissioned to make disciples of all the nations, including you.
PRAYER POINT
Father, like David, let the zeal of Your house consume me so I can fulfill my destiny.
HYMN 15 – Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour
1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Please do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Please do not pass me by.
2 Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
4 Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me;
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?

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

TOPIC: When God Carries You
MEMORISE: “In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and his pity he redeemed them, and he bares them and carried them all the days of old.” – Isaiah 63:9 (KJV)
READ: Mark 10:13-16 (KJV)
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 He took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 11-13
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
In our Bible reading for today, they brought children to Jesus, and as He carried them, He also blessed them. When God has a person, He also blesses the fellow, as seen in Mark 10:16.
When you read the account of the Israelites leaving Egypt, you will see clearly that all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the planet were working together to favor them. This happens when God carries you; you become blessed by Him.
Exodus 19:4 says:
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
Some people don’t know the meaning of ‘God bless you.’ After you have said, “God bless you,” they still say, “Pray for me.” God’s blessing is a summon to all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the world to assist you to succeed – that is the meaning of ‘God bless you.’ Believe it or not, even demons will be summoned to help you when God carries you.
I was in an African nation for a program a few years ago. As we were heading to the crusade venue, we encountered a severe traffic jam. Even though we got a Police escort to help clear the traffic on the way to the venue, we were still stuck as nobody obeyed the Police escort. Suddenly, a madman came to the front of our car and began to clear the way. The man was so mad that if you looked into his eyes, you could see devils dancing in them. He earned his way until we reached the end of the traffic jam. When the road was free, he came to the side of the car I was sitting in and bowed. When God carries you, everything will work together in your favor.
If you want God to carry you, you must become like a child. In our Bible reading for today, there were many adults around, but the only ones Jesus brought were the children. You will be too heavy for Him to move if you are not like a child. This means that you must be humble, obey His word, not hold grudges, and have faith in Him like a child who believes whatever his Father tells him.
KEY POINT
God will only carry children. You must become a child in His hands; He will take and bless you.
HYMN 17 – Praise My Soul, The King Of Heaven
1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King!
2 Praise him for his grace and favor
to his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness!
3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
well, our feeble frame, he knows.
In his hand, he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Widely yet, his mercy flows!
4 Angels, help us to adore him;
you behold him face to face.
Sun and moon bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise with us, the God of grace!
