1. In the world we live in today, a lot of people are overwhelmed by sorrow and are living in depression. It is therefore no accident that one of the crucial assignments of the Holy Spirit is the work of the comforting the sorrowful and uplifting the depressed (John 16:6-7).
2. His comfort shifts your focus away from your fears, wipes away your tears, sets your mind on the bigger picture you should see, gives you peace in the midst of the storm and gives you a reason to live beyond that moment of depression.
3. In the end, He also gives you strength to help others in similar situations. In any area you need comfort of the Holy Spirit, receive it today in Jesus’ Name!
4. Several years ago, while still lecturing at the University of Lagos, I had a particular student we referred to as Brother Moses. He was a passionate soul-winner. His passion for the lost endeared him to me. We became so close that you would even think he was my biological first-born son.
5. After he graduated from the university, he was posted to the northern part of Nigeria for his mandatory one-year service in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme. Within a few months of his service year, his fellow corps members had fallen in love with him. Then suddenly, he died. His fellow corps members could not accept this, and so they began to pray. He died at about 10am and 2pm he came back to life. He told the brethren the Lord asked him to come back to tell them that they were praying the wrong kind of prayers, and that their noise was disturbing Him. The Lord said they should not be praying for Brother Moses to return from glory to join them on earth; they should rather be praying for themselves to finish the race and end up in glory. As soon as he delivered this message, he lay back on the bed and off he zoomed back into glory!
6. When I heard of this incident, I grieved so much. I tried to comport myself with dignity during the Church service but immediately after the service and at other times when I was alone, I wept over and over again. On the third day, the Lord asked me why I was crying. I told Him it was because Brother Moses had died, but He corrected me that I was weeping because of Brother Moses left me behind. Then the Lord asked me this: “How would you feel if you travelled abroad to a place you have never been to and suddenly you bumped into someone you knew before?” I said I would be happy. Then He replied, “When you get to Heaven, Jesus will be there to receive you, but Brother Moses will be there to specially receive you.” That brought comfort to me like nothing else!
7. Beloved, your loved ones who died in the Lord will be waiting for you at Heaven’s gate when your time on earth is up.
8. Just fight the good fight of faith and pray that you finish well.

Hosts at heaven’s gate. Colossians 3:4- When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Some questions are running through my mind this moment. Can you say that truly you have given your life to Christ? Are you sure you are hidden in Christ in God? What effort are you putting into sustaining and maintaining the relationship between you and God? Can you boldly say and affirm that you will end your race in glory? Are you fighting the good fight of faith so as to finish well? As we carefully answer this question, let us make up our minds for a positive change and Set our minds on things above, not on things on the earth. As we do this we can be rest assured that we will be received into glory at Heaven’s gate when we finish our earthly race and ministry. I pray we all will see God in His glory after this earth is gone in Jesus name. We are daily fed with God’s word using this Devotional. May God bless His vessel Pastor E.A Adeboye daily also in Jesus name.

1. Besides sowing seeds, obedience is another key factor that can trigger a miraculous harvest in your life. May the Lord grant you grace to obey Him completely in Jesus’ Name.
2. To enter into this realm of the miraculous, all you need to receive is the divine directive, and immediately you comply with it, you will have your miracle.
3. In our Bible reading, Jesus and His mother were invited to a wedding in Cana of Galilee. At some point, they ran out of wine. His mother came to tell Him of their need, but He simply said it was not yet time for a miracle. Pre-empting Jesus, maybe based on experience, Mary told the servants present to wait on Him, receive any instruction from Him and carry it out to the letter.
4. Later, the Lord instructed them to fill up some water pots with water. The servants thought of arguing with Him that what was needed at the party was wine and not water, but remembering Mary’s strict instructions to do whatever He asked them to do, they complied. Therefore, Jesus asked them to fetch some of the water and serve the chairman of the wedding feast. Again, they wanted to argue, but recalling what Mary said, they obeyed. They took it to the chairman but prepared a ready-made answer should he taste it and ask why they served him water. However, on their way, the water became wine.
5. One lesson from this story is that God searches for certain attributes in people before giving them their desired miracles.
6. If you want a miracle, you must approach God in faith (Hebrews 11:6).
7. Also, if there is no divine instruction or word from God backed up by total obedience from man, that miracle may never see the light of day.
8. Before performing a miracle, God searches to see whether there is any word of His to honour by this miracle. In other words, if no prophetic word, word of revelation or promise of the Scripture is available concerning the situation, seeking for a miracle in such a case could lead to disappointment.
9. No wonder the Psalmist in Psalm 138:2 said “I will worship toward thy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
10. In addition, if you truly desire a miracle, you must first crave to be acquainted with the God of miracles.
11. Our God is a God of relationship. He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24, John 15:15). He can sustain His relationship with you even to generations after you depart from the earth.
12. Lastly, after God has given an instruction, nothing short of total compliance is required to trigger your miracle. To get a miracle, God has His part to play, and so do you. How well are you playing your part?

Obedience does not only bring blessing, it brings glory, life, safety amongst other benefits of obedience. Whenever God gives an instruction that is followed strictly and carefully, testimony of victory, joy, peace and blessing always abound. Disobedience on the other hand never yielded anything good other than death, destruction, dethrone and disgrace. Any wise Christian will always strive to obey God because in obeying God there is great benefit. This portion of today’s devotional is to be meditated upon deeply- To enter into this realm of the miraculous, all you need to receive is the divine directive, and immediately you comply with it, you will have your miracle. I pray the Lord will minister grace to obey unto us in Jesus name. May God continually increase Pastor E.A Adeboye for greater insight into the word of God in Jesus name.

1. Some people make all kinds of vows, pledges and promises before they receive the blessings of God, but after they experience the blessings, they make no move to keep their promise, redeem their vow or honour the verbal commitment they made to God.
2. If you are one of such people, repent now and make good your promises.
3. If we take a close look at the patriarchs of old, we will find really determined people to learn from amongst them. Take for instance David. He was just a shepherd boy when the Almighty God picked him up and blessed him.
4. What did he do with the blessings? He determined in his heart to build a temple for God, but God said to him, “Your hands are full of blood because you are a warrior. I cannot allow a soldier like you to build me a temple.” Then he replied, “Lord, if you will not allow me to build you a temple, I will provide most of them money needed to do it, while you can set someone else to supervise the building.” In 1st Chronicles 22:14-16, we see David fulfilling his promise to God on this. His heart was there. Most of the gold, silver, bronze and other materials that Solomon needed to build the house to God were provided by David.
5. Moreover, if you look closely at the events in 2nd Samuel 24:22-24, you will discover something about David attitude towards giving. As a matter of principle, he never gave God a causal offering. Any time he had the opportunity to give an offering to God, he gave substantially and did it sacrificially. He delighted in giving wholesomely to God. No wonder he was blessed beyond measure, financially and materially.
6. If you add up what he single-handedly gave for the building of the temple of today’s terms, you can safely say he was a billionaire. He gave 3,400 metric tons of gold, 34,000 metric tons of slivers and so much bronze that it could not be weighed.
7. What is your attitude towards giving? Do you wait to be pushed, compelled or begged before you give to God? What is the most valuable thing you have ever given to God? Are you still in the practice of giving to God only when you can afford to?
8. When you receive God’s exponential blessings, they will be more than what you can handle. They will go far beyond what you need.
9. What then do you want to do with such blessings? Have you told God about it? Do you have a burden or a vision for the Kingdom of God that you will pursue?

One of God’s nature is giving! And He so much cherish His integrity such that He honours His word. It is therefore expedient that believers live like our heavenly Father and Jesus the son whom we are joint heirs with when saved. If we closely study all the promises of God, we will see that He saw to it that all was fulfilled and even generations after He is still fulfilling His covenant. It is therefore clear that any Christian who is a miser or sees giving as an option is not a good ambassador of Christ. As pilgrims on earth, we must live to fulfill the expectation of the Almighty God and emulate Him in all aspect. When we do otherwise such as making vow and not fulfilling it, giving or sowing sparingly or not sowing at all, we are not exhibiting the traits of God. He owns everything and we should be happy and embrace every opportunity of giving to God or blessing man that comes our way. We should see every giving we make as an opportunity to be blessed and give sacrificially to draw the attention of God for us to mightily blessed in turn. The Lord will help us and give us the grace to fulfil every vow in Jesus name. We are grateful to God for blessing us with Pastor E.A Adeboye who through the Holy Spirit bless us daily with the open Heavens devotional article. God bless him in strength and ability to do more in God’s kingdom in Jesus name.

1. An encounter with Jesus Christ is such a powerful experience that it can bring about a change of name (Mark 3:16). This change of name indicates a change of destiny.
2. His power of transformation changes you from a sinner to a saint (Romans 1:7).
3. There is no greater change than that of a changed life made possible by the redeeming power in the blood of Jesus Christ.
4. If you were known as a night crawler before encountering Jesus, you will become known as a more responsible person after encountering Him.
5. The truth is, if you really encounter Jesus Christ, you will lose most of your old friends because it would be difficult for them to relate with the new you. They won’t understand you anymore, because you won’t talk the way you used to talk, drink like you used to drink or even dress the way they dress.
6. Following a definite encounter with the person of Jesus Christ, what you like and hate will change, so much so that if you fail to leave your old friends, they will be the ones to desert you.
7. If you say you are born again, and all of your old pals still feel comfortable around you, your salvation is most likely not genuine.
8. Before I became born again, I had many friends, some of whom were sailors. When they returned from their trips, they brought me assorted alcoholic drinks. Therefore, when my friends wanted to drink alcohol, they would visit me because they knew I would have a lot in store. They sometimes said they could not pass by the house of the king without saying hello to the king. I never knew I was king of alcohol in those days. However, after my conversion, when my old friends visited me, I would offer them soft drinks. They would protest, saying that I already knew the choice alcoholic drinks they normally enjoyed, but I simply told them that I did not stock such anymore. Consequently, I lost most of my friends, but today, God has given me like-minded, godly people as replacements.
9. Have you truly encountered Jesus? What changes have you noticed in your life?
10. Are you still keeping all your old friends, or have they observed the changes in your life and dumped you?
11. Sometimes, some people are afraid of losing their old friends, and as a result, they do everything to hide their new found faith from them. This is unacceptable in the Kingdom of God.
12. The reality is that if you have met Jesus, you are linked to the greatest Friend anyone could ever have.
13. You should be proud of that and let all your friends know about it.
14. If you are ashamed of Him here on earth, He too will be ashamed to talk about you in Heaven (Mark 8:38).

A new creature can never fit into the old picture of his being. When Christ steps in, the identity changes completely. Everything you do looks strange to your former caucus. This doesn’t mean we should try to adjust just to please them. We should rather joyfully tell them of our new identity in Christ and draw them near to be a partaker. May we never deny our union with Christ just to be friends with the world in Jesus name. James 4:4 says that- Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. We should therefore be grateful for our new life in Christ Jesus and bold declare it to as many as we can as well as call them to join God’s family. God bless Pastor E.A Adeboye for this great insight into the word of God.

1. A conspiracy can be defined as a secret plan by a group of persons to do something unlawful or mischievous.
2. Whenever you agree or partner with one or more persons to do something against God’s express word or will, you are guilty of conspiracy.
3. The attitude of the Holy Spirit towards conspiracy is clear from His judgement against Ananias and Sapphira, who conspired to test Him with their lie (Acts 5:1-11). Ahithophel and Absalom also engaged in conspiracy against the Lord’s anointed, King David (2nd Samuel 15:12). They paid for this sin with their lives, and they both died similar deaths through hanging (2nd Samuel 17:23, 2nd Samuel 18:9-14).
4. Do you know that many people still conspire to lie to the Holy Spirit today?
5. When auditors are visiting some churches, their pastors will connive with accountants to present doctored records. On arrival, when the auditor asks the accountant if the books presented are the actual financial records, they would affirm that they are. That is conspiring to lie to the Holy Spirit!
5. Those who engage in conspiracy often die together, just like it happened to Ananias and Sapphira, Absalom and Ahithophel, and Korah, Dathan and Abiram (Numbers 26:9-10).
6. This is where married couples need to be extremely cautious. If your spouse is going the way of destruction, never follow him or her. Do all you can to deliver him, but if the fellow refuses, let him or her take the evil step alone.
7. Are you engaged in a conspiracy to defraud your employer or government? It’s time to pull out of such schemes and repent.
8. In like manner, the Holy Spirit hates adultery and fornication. Why? It is because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are His dwelling place.
9. Adultery separates God from His temple. It keeps God outside His throne in your heart.
10. Some people erroneously think that they can fornicate without affecting the presence of the Holy Spirit in them. No way! How can you expect the Holy Spirit, whose personality is defined by holiness, to dwell in a body yielded to filthiness?
11. The Bible in James 4:4 says, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
12. Fornication strips the glory of God away from you and clothes you in rags and shame.
13. There is nothing glorious about sexual sin. It never adds anything to you; rather, it always takes away your prized possessions.
14. Repent and flee fornication daily! Whatever separates God from you is something to resist by all means!

“Whatever separates God from you is something to resist by all means!” This is a great advice from our father in the Lord and we must indeed carefully and delibrately avoid anything that ca separate us from God. Anyone God separates Himself from is empty and prone to the devil’s torment. Such person is easily accessible as he or she is unguarded. As we all know that sin is the cause of God separating from His beloved, we should do everything possible to stay away from it. Conspiracy and fornication are two different types of sin pointed out to us in today’s devotional which we should resist with all our might and ask for grace to stay away from. I pray the power to overcome sin is released upon us in Jesus name.

1. Burdens are loads imposed on a person by the wicked forces of this world or by circumstances of life.
2. They come under certain categories, one of those being physical burdens.
3. Physical burdens are exemplified by the case of Naaman who had an incurable disease (2nd Kings 5:1). Also, the woman with a spirit of infirmity, who could not straighten herself for years, is another case in point (Luke 13:11). No matter how much she tried, everywhere she went, she remained bent. Similarly, the man who had been at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years had a physical burden (John 5:2-9).
4. Do you have a physical burden? Are you physically handicapped? Jesus Christ will lift your physical burdens today! You shall experience a turnaround in Jesus’ Name.
5. Burden could also be material in nature. The widow of Zarephath was carrying a material burden (1st Kings 17:8-16). Things used to be good for her, but her situation deteriorated to the point where she had only one meal to her credit.
6. In addition, the heavily indebted widow of 2nd Kings 4:1-7 was plagued by the debts left by her late husband. The creditors came calling and threatened to enslave her sons. Thank God she knew the right place to run to. She cried to the prophet, who was connected to the Burden Bearer, and the tide turned for her and her children.
7. What about the wedding feast in John 2:1-11? They thought they had everything in place, but midway through the celebration, they ran out of wine. They called on the Burden Bearer and He supplied what was lacking.
8. A very wealthy man with a fleet of 14 cars once picked a quarrel with his wife, and she threatened that by the time she was done with him, he would be trekking about the streets of Lagos, Nigeria. The man laughed it off, not knowing the kind of woman he had as a wife. Not long after, his business began to nose-dive, and things became so bad that at a point, he had only one car left with 50 Kobo in his pocket. Then he reasoned with himself, “If I buy petrol with this money, I will starve, and if I spend the money on food, then I would have to trek in fulfilment of my wife’s evil decree.” That was when he decided to run to Jesus Christ for help, and the Lord turned things around for him. By the time he was sharing this testimony, he was dedicating two new houses on the same day.
9. What material burdens are you carrying presently? If you run to Jesus, He will help you carry it. Through Him all material burdens can be lifted.

Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 says; Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. This call in Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 is a call to rest and a burden free life. If there is any burden that we desire freedom from, we should not hesitate in running to Jesus because His yoke is easy and his burden is light. May we be free from every burden as we surrender to the burden lifter in Jesus name. May God continually increase Pastor E.A Adeboye for greater insight into the word of God in Jesus name

1. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” Matthew 8:27
2. Are you currently in a state of perplexity? Does it seem as if the devil has vowed to sink the boat of your life? I have good news for you: he is only joking. Why? One reason why the boat of your life cannot sink is because all the elements, wind, storm and waves working against your boat were created by God, and they must hear His voice and obey Him.
3. The disciples could not believe their eyes when they saw the manifestation of this. Jesus spoke to the contrary wind and the waves of the sea and they obeyed him.
4. This season, everything working contrary to your boat and sail will hear the voice of the Master and beat a retreat in Jesus’ Name.
5. Everything God has created treats His voice with fear and awe.
6. According to today’s reading, this voice is so powerful and awesome that there is no one and nothing that can withstand it.
7. When the Lord speaks, thunder and lightning follow (Isaiah 30:30). When He speaks, the world beholds the true majesty of God. When He speaks, mighty cedar trees are split in pieces. When He speaks, the hottest of fires is cooled. When He speaks, the earth shakes and the wilderness quakes. When He speaks, hidden secrets are exposed and the impossible became possible.
8. What can resist God’s voice? Nothing in or out of this world can!
9. Today, the Lord will speak into your situation and every force or power actively working against you will take their flight. Yes, when He speaks, everything standing in His way will have to give way.
10. At a point in time, the Philistines gathered together to invade Israel like they had done in times past. Samuel cried to the Lord and the voice of the Lord sounded from heaven to roundly defeat them. They never invaded Israel again after this (1st Samuel 7:8-13).
11. As God speaks into your situation today, the speed at which your oppressors will disappear will be quite amazing.
12. Look around you today, what are those things that have refused to let you go forward? Call on the Lord to speak into your situation now and there shall be change.
13. The Lord will speak into your life, family, work place, finances and academics today, and all your enemies shall scatter.

Hallelujah! The voice of the Lord is thunderous and it wraths miracles. Everything about God symbolises His greatness. Powerful question and answer in the second paragraph of today’s devotional. It goes thus: “what can resist God’s voice?” Nothing in or out of this world can! God be praised forever more! It’s my prayer that the Lord will speak into every situation of our lives and turn it around for good for all to see that they may glorify our Father in heaven in Jesus name. God bless Pastor E.A Adeboye for blessing us with the word of God daily. His strength is renewed in Jesus name.

1. For quite a long while in times past, I usually said that the Lord of Host never loses a battle, but quite recently, the Lord corrected me and said, “Son, I can lose a battle to win a war. I never lose a war.” According to His divine wisdom, when it pleases the Lord, He can choose to lose a battle in order to win a war.
2. He can give up a battle, but He has never lost a war. We need to tap into this divine wisdom and apply its principle in our lives. It’s all about looking at the bigger picture. You will gain more from winning a war than from winning a battle.
3. You will also lose more when you lose a war than when you lose a battle. Some people are not ready to lose any battle, and as a result, they lose the war that is more crucial. Take for instance, evangelism. If you go to preach to an individual about Christ and an argument ensues, you are faced with the choice of winning a battle (the argument) or winning the soul of the sinner (a war). If you choose to win the argument, you will most likely lose that soul.
4. This is why you should not get involved in arguments when preaching the gospel to unbelievers. Time to evangelise is not a time to argue about whose religion is more superior.
5. Faith in Christ Jesus is more than just a religion. Simply tell the sinner about Jesus and God’s love towards him or her. Share your salvation experience with him or her. Stir up his or her interest in Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit will do the necessary work of conviction. After playing your part, you can then invite the person to surrender his or her life to Christ.
6. When you observe that God is seemingly losing a battle or battles, it is because there is a bigger war He wants to win. For instance, in the midst of intense persecution of the early Church, God allowed His beloved Stephen to be martyred. Why did He allow this? It’s because He wanted to win the war of saving the ring leader of Stephen’s murderers, Saul. Through Saul, He planned to convert whole cities and to virtually turn the world upside down, and He succeeded in this (Acts 17:6).
7. At the end, it became a double gain for the Lord as Stephen had a triumphant entry into Heaven while Paul, who supervised his martyrdom, became a mightier instrument in the hand of God for the salvation of souls on a massive scale across the globe. This testimony about Paul in Acts 19:26 show the awesomeness of God’s wisdom:“Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:”
8. Anytime you follow God’s wisdom, you will know when to lose a battle in order to win a war.

Our God is an extraordinary strategist. He is strong and mighty. He is all powerful and He knows the end of a thing from the beginning. This is why it is important for us to seek His face and Will concerning everything we do. When we do this we receive direction on what to do and how to do what to do if we have to do it at all. His wisdom is needed in every aspect of our lives and when we show that without His counsel we can’t succeed, He gives us the Holy Spirit to guide our steps in the right path. We must also be sensitive to the leading of God through the Holy Spirit and that way we fight to win wars instead of battles. Today’s devotional unveiled an uncommon revelation and we thank God for His vessel Pastor E.A Adeboye. May His zeal for the Lord’s business never go weak in Jesus’ name.

1. God’s voice is so powerful that it can bring about abundant increase.
2. When He speaks in a situation of lack and acute shortage, whatever is responsible for that anomaly is arrested and there is bountiful provision.
3. An example of this can be seen in the lives of the children of Israel. In Genesis 46:26-27, we read that all the people that Israel brought with him into Egypt including Joseph and his family were 70. However, when they were leaving Egypt, the men alone were numbered at 600,000 (Exodus 12:37). In fact, the Israelites’ rate of multiplication in Egypt was so rapid that it became a source of worry to the Egyptians (Exodus 1:7-10).
4. Sometimes, we think that such miracles can only occur in Bible times. By the grace of God, in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, we have seen God’s faithfulness demonstrated in the area of multiplication. In 1952, the Church started with about 12 people. By the time I became the general overseer in 1981, we had only 40 parishes including the headquarters. The convention we had in 1980 had a little over 600 people in attendance, yet we thought that was quite large. Today, through the grace of the Almighty God, this same Church has spread to over 174 nations of the world! Why? It is simply because there is a God who can speak from Heaven to make something little increase abundantly. This shall be your portion today in Jesus’ Name!
5. A blessing summons all the forces in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth to help an individual to succeed.
6. To bless someone, you have to open your mouth to declare it.
7. When God blesses you, all the angels of God will assist you, and even demons will fight one another to clear the way for you.
8. In Genesis 48:8-20, Joseph, while visiting his father Jacob with his two sons, carefully guided his father to rest his right hand on the head of the elder son, Manasseh, and to rest his left hand on Ephraim the younger. At this time, Jacob was old and sick, and could no longer see. When Jacob crossed his hands over the two boys, Joseph protested but Jacob insisted, saying the younger will be greater than the elder, and then he blessed them. Within a short period of time, the younger son had become 10 times more blessed than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).
9. This is what the declaration of a divine blessing can do in the life of a person.
10. Ask God to declare His blessings on you. You can also seek the declaration of blessings from a father that is connected to God.

God’s blessings comes in multiple folds. His blessings brings fruitfulness, multiplication, dominion and victory. Proverbs 10:22 says “The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.” (NIV) This means when we function in God’s blessings, our exploits and success is with so much ease. If we take a close look at the lineage of Abraham, this blessing is established in the lives of those who were specially blessed either directly or indirectly by God. May we experience this blessing of multiplication in every area of our lives in Jesus name. We pray that the Lord will strengthen our Father in the Lord Pastor E.A Adeboye for greater works in Jesus

1. One crucial question that many people asking God to prosper them have not answered is: what will you do with the wealth you are asking for?
2. While some people are sure of what to do with such wealth, many others are not so certain.
3. Why do you want God to prosper you? Is it so that you can have multiple spouses, build multiple houses or buy a multitude of cars? If you really desire great wealth from God, what you plan to do with it to bring glory to His Name must not be far from you. May you have the right reasons, motives and goals that will be honoured by God in Jesus’ Name!
4. Let us consider the case of Abraham our spiritual father. After God promised to bless Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and repeating the same promise in Genesis 12:7-8, what did Abraham do? Abraham immediately built an altar and worshiped God.
5. Note that at this time, all Abraham had was God’s promise; there was no blessing yet. In other words, he was saying, “for promising to bless me at all, You deserve my worship.”
6. Down the line, in Genesis 13:1-4, after the blessings started pouring in, Abraham did not forget his resolve to worship God. He travelled quite some distance to an altar he had earlier built at Bethel to worship God. By the time you get to Genesis 22:1-18, although Abraham had become truly blessed, he still proved to God that he loved Him more than any blessing he had received from Him, including Isaac his beloved son.
7. When God saw all these, He was so impressed that He released greater blessings on him; hence, Abraham’s servant could testify that God had greatly blessed Abraham (Genesis 24:34-35).
8. From the onset, Abraham was focused on worshiping God. As the blessings came, He remained committed to worshipping God. For this reason, the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 51:2 instructs us to learn from him: “Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.”
9. Not many of us are like Father Abraham. When you allow the little blessings you received from God to derail you from the faith, how can you then convince God to give you more?
10. If you truly want the exponential blessings that God has reserved for you, you must have a solid plan for how you will glorify Him with such wealth.
11. How are you spending the little you have now?

Like Abraham? This a question we have to answer individually and sincerely. How do we see others who are not as blessed much as we are? Are we faithful in the little we have now? Let’s carefully and faithfully answer these questions. As we answer these questions, let us also take step in correcting the mistakes we’ve made in the past, straighten our ways and walk in His plan for what He has blessed us with. We thank God for Pastor E.A Adeboye for blessing us and inspiring us in today’s devotional. God bless him in strength and greater ability in Jesus’ name.
