Open
Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The
earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell
therein. Psalms 24:1.
Read:
Psalms 24:1-2
The fire
of the Holy Spirit is not only for the selective destruction of your enemies
while guarantying your protection; it’s also for consuming stone. This we see
in 1 Kings 18:38-39. Elijah, after challenging the prophets of Baal to a duel
on Mount Carmel, prayed. The fire of the Holy Ghost fell on the stones where he
offered sacrifice and consumed the sacrifice and stone on which they were
offered. The children of Israel seeing this fell on their faces and decleared
the Lordship of Jehovah. Today, the fire of the Holy Ghost consumes hearts of
stone as promised by God in Ezekiel 36:26. Fire additionally is required in the
bonding and welding of strong metals. When the Holy Spirit descended on the
heads of the apostles and disciples on the day of Pentecost, it was not only to
empower them but also to bind them together in unity. The Holy Spirit is an
agent of unity. You can measure the presence of the Holy Spirit in an assembly
by the level of unity operating in their midst. How united are you with other
believers? If you truly have the Spirit of God, it will be easy for your minds
to be set on one thing, to speak with one voice and to do things together for
the common good (Romans 12:16). In all, the colour red points to the essence of
God asthe giver of life, Salvation, Deliverance, Victory, the Purity, the Selective
destroyer, Consumer of Hearts of Stone and the Unifier.
Another
rainbow colour from the dispersal of white light is yellow. Yellow is the
colour of Gold. Gold speaks of the self-sufficiency of God. In Haggai 2:8, God
says:
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
saith the Lord of hosts.
In Psalms
24:1, we read that the earth and its fullness belongs to God. Every precious
thing is contained in the earth. So the One who owns the earth with everything
in it as well as own the heavens is unquestionably the richest personality in
the universe. Being the richest, there is nothing you ask that He cannot
afford. Even if it does not presently exist, He can create one for you. Are you
lacking in any area of life? The lord will embarrass you with His blessings as
He promised in Deuteronomy 28:1,11,12. Are you financially blessed and you
think you have reached your peak? Wait a minute! With God, the peak of man’s
achievements is the starting point for God. The Lord will take you to a level
that will embarrass you thoroughly. Wealth and abundance is your portion
because you serve the All-Sufficient God.
PRAYER
POINT:
Father,
reveal yourself to me as the All- sufficient God.
Bible
in one year: Isaiah 40-42.
