Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalms 91:7
Read: Psalms 121:3-8
What a father does goes a long way in affecting the life of
a child. Our Heavenly Father does not only neutralize weapons designed against
His children, He also protects them from harm. In the 50’s while l was still
very young, we had mining activities going on in my village and the roads were
very narrow. Nigeria was still under colonial rule then. Normally, white men
came in a jeep to collect the gold that the miners got. They were so powerful
in those days that the villagers believed that if they killed your child, you
have to tell them “thank you” so that you will not be sent to prison. For this
reason they were dreaded. One day, my sister and l were returning from the farm
when we suddenly heard the sound of a jeep coming at top speed. My sister
immediately grabbed my hand and we both jumped out of its way, landing in an
empty mine. We barely escaped the jeep but before we could have a sigh of
relief, we found ourselves before a snake. Because our Father can preserve
lives, I lived to tell the story.
Jeremiah 32:27 says because He is the God of all flesh,
there is nothing He cannot do. He controls all humans and animals. Is the enemy
tormenting your life using a particular animal-snake, cat, wall gecko, owl, rat
or any bewitched bird? The God of all flesh will frustrate that enemy today.
Luke 1:37 says all things are possible with Him. Sometime ago, a child less
than two months old was brought to me. The parents said he had a hole in the
heart and doctors were set to perform an operation on it. Perplexed, I asked;
“what kind of situation is this?” just before l prayed, God reminded me that He
can do anything. So l told the Lord to either close up the hole or give the
child a brand new heart. A week later, I was told the child had become normal.
Praise God! In Luke 10:19, you have been empowered over snakes and scorpions -
demonic agents and their activities. God will protect you and defend everything
that is yours this season. Have those around you given up hope for your
survival? The Lord will intervene and make a way for you. Call on Jesus today!
PRAYER POINT:
Father, in accordance with Psalms 121:7, preserve me, my
family and my church from every evil.
Bible in one year: Acts 13-14
