UNTOUCHABLE Friday 2 March


Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Memorise: And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. Exodus 34:30

Read: Exodus 34:29-35

When you spend quality time in God’s presence it will show. This is explicit from the account of Moses in today’s Bible reading. After spending 40 days and nights in God’s presence on Mount Sinai, by the time he descended, his face shone. The Israelites could not look at him eyeball to eyeball anymore. Not only were they not able to stand God’s presence, they could not also face His servant. The problem with leaders today is that they are too busy to stay in and soak themselves in God’s presence. That is why members of their congregation hardly regard them. The face of Moses radiated God’s glory to the extent that even Aaron – his elder brother and mouthpiece, together with the elders were so afraid that they kept their distance from him. Any leader who wants to maintain his respect and honour will always pay the price to be in God’s presence. Do I hear you say, “But I fellowship with God, yet I never carry His presence?” If two people go to the ocean to fetch water, one with a spoon and the other with a tanker, you will hardly notice water on the one with the spoon. But the other fellow will have so much water that every one will notice. Let people notice God in your life!

You would also notice that the presence of God caused a demarcation between Moses and the Israelites. Suddenly, the one they could talk to any how and touch as they liked just before he climbed the mountain, became the one they could not just say what they liked to. They dreaded touching him for fear that what he now carried could cause them harm. When God commanded that His anointed should not be touched or harmed in Psalm 105:15, He expected His anointed to be carriers of His presence to a point where those who would want to harm them would be afraid of doing so. The presence of God in your life can bring about a separation between you and those who would hurt you. Take time to cry to God for His manifest presence in your life from today!

ACTION POINT:
Ask for the anointing that will make you untouchable to your enemies. Thank God for adding another year to my life. Pray that as my years increase, so will God increase me in grace, power, knowledge, wisdom and joy.
Bible in one year: Job 8-10

BENEFITS OF UNITY Sunday 27 November

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 18:19) READ: Acts 2:1-4 U nity is a powerful force in the universe. However, uniting against God, His Word or His children causes God to arise in defence of His Name. This is the other side of power of unity. Barring this, unity can accomplish almost anything on the face of the earth. In Genesis 11:5-6, God said that if the people of the earth were left with one language and as united as they were in building the city and tower, they will be unstoppable. The united are unstoppable. Unity is a powerful tool for achieving plans and purposes. But if operated in righteousness within the Christian fold, it is even more powerful. “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it sha

YOUR VOICE SHALL BE HEARD Wednesday 26 October

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye MEMORIZE: “As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.” (Psalm 18:44). READ: Psalm 18:43-45 W hen Bartimaeus was steps away from his breakthrough, the crowd around him shouted him down. But by the grace of God, he doubled his efforts and cried out the more. He simply told the crowd: ‘If you think you have heard noise you have not heard anything yet’. The reality is that if you need help and send a faint cry in the midst of a crowd, they will want to shut you up. But if your cry is unparalleled, defying the voices of the opposition, there would be a general consensus by the crowd for you to be attended to, at least so that they can have their peace. This season, by the mercy of God, there will be a meeting of the crowd hindering your blessing and their consensus would be that you receive immediate attention. Another lesson from this story is that while peop
