TOPIC – Words Are Powerful (2)

MEMORISE: “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1 (KJV)

READ: Genesis 3:1-13 (KJV)

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 69-72

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

Indeed, words are very powerful. For example, if you are married, there are certain statements you must never make to your spouse because even after forgiving you, it will take the grace of God for him or her to forget them, and this might affect the marriage for a long time. For instance, you should never tell your spouse that you regret marrying him or her. You should also never compare your spouse with other people or tag them as enemies of progress. The damage from such statements may be irreparable because the self-esteem of your spouse might have been destroyed. Whenever you are angry, it is better to keep quiet than to say things you will later regret. If you must speak, always ensure that you address the issue at hand and not the person.

The devil always likes to fuel quarrels to make people say things that will negatively affect one or more of the parties involved. Playing the blame game and attacking people verbally only worsens problems.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. – Galatians 5:15

When people bite and devour each other with wrong and negative words, they usually end up destroying their relationships. Christians must not be ignorant of the devices of the devil so that he doesn’t take advantage of them (2 Corinthians 2:11). Often, the devil wants relationships to be full of strife so that he can be free to do whatever he wants, and when people say hurtful words to one another, they stir up strife. If you do not want the devil’s involvement in your relationships, you should take out the wood of wrong and negative words whenever there are disagreements because if there is no wood, the fire will go out. Instead of using harsh words when you have a disagreement with someone, your responses should be soft because a soft answer will always turn away wrath (Proverbs 15:1).

Beloved, if someone close to you has said hurtful words to you in the past, I plead on the person’s behalf that you should forgive him or her. Please don’t let the words bring permanent damage to yourself or your relationship with that fellow. If you are in this situation, I declare your healing today, and if you have lost any God-given relationships, may the Almighty God restore them in the name of Jesus.

KEY POINTS:

Never speak harsh and negative words, no matter the provocation.

HYMN 24 – I Want To Be Like Jesus

1 I want to be like Jesus,

So lowly and so meek;

For no one marked an angry word,

That ever heard Him speak.

2 I want to be like Jesus,

So frequently in prayer;

Alone upon the mountain top,

He met His Father there.

3 I want to be like Jesus,

I never, never find

That He, though persecuted was

To anyone unkind.

4 I want to be like Jesus,

Engaged in doing good;

So that of me it may be said,

“He hath done what he could.”

5 I want to be like Jesus,

Who sweetly said to all,

“Let little children come to Me,”

I would obey the call.

6 But oh, I’m not like Jesus,

As anyone may see;

O gentle Savior, send Thy grace,

And make me like to thee.

TOPIC – Words Are Powerful (1)

MEMORISE: “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.” – James 3:2 (KJV)

READ: James 3:2-13 (KJV)

2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 62-68

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

When I got married and had children, things were really difficult for me and my young family. However, I would always tell my wife to brace up because things would not remain tough forever. I never allowed any negative confession to come out of my mouth because I knew that they would negatively impact our future. When the Shunammite woman lost her son, she never allowed any negative word to come out of her mouth. All she kept saying was, “It shall be well” and “It is well” (2 Kings 4:23,26). She refused to utter negative words that would aid what the devil was trying to achieve. Instead, she kept speaking what she wanted until everything became well indeed.

Words are very powerful. In Africa, the elders say that they are like an egg, meaning that once they are uttered, their impact cannot be reversed. You must be careful what you say and how you say it. When you speak negative words, the damage they cause may be irreparable, even if you are genuinely sorry about uttering them. Don’t speak when you are extremely angry or very excited because you may say the wrong things. You should also be careful with your words whenever you are sad because there is power in your tongue. The power of life and death lies in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and you must be intentional about the words you speak.

Proverbs 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” No matter what happens, always think before you talk. Also, always let your words be in line with God’s word. The word of God is powerful; it can break every negative word that has been spoken over your life and destiny. Jabez was a newborn baby when his mother made a negative pronouncement over him. She set him up for a life of sorrow and hardship because she spoke when she was in pain. Thankfully, Jabez rejected sorrow and hardship by crying to God to bless him, and God turned his life around (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).

Beloved, whatever you say is what you will get; therefore, use your tongue wisely. If you have made negative pronouncements over your life or your children’s lives, ask God for mercy and begin to overwrite them with God’s word. I pray that His word will continually lift you up and bless all that concerns you, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINTS:

Lord, please help me to always use my tongue wisely, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 31 – Yield Not To Temptation

1 Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;

Each vict’ry will help you some other to win;

Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;

Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,

God’s name hold in rev’rence, nor take it in vain;

Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true;

Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

3 To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown,

Through faith we will conquer, though often cast down;

He who is our Savior, our strength will renew;

Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Talk To Your Father

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC – Talk To Your Father

MEMORISE: “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” – Galatians 4:6 (KJV)

READ: Romans 8:14-17 (KJV)

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 56-61

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

During my regular morning prayer walk one day, I remembered a joke. I was preparing for a ministers’ conference, so l tried to push the joke out of my thoughts. However, I sensed that God wanted to tell me something through the joke, so I allowed myself to think about it. During the conference, I shared the joke, which goes thus: A husband and his wife had been quarrelling for a long time. Things got so bad that they said they wouldn’t talk to each other anymore. One night, the husband, who was a heavy sleeper, wrote a note for his wife, “Darling, I have to catch a plane at 8am. Please wake me at 6am.” He placed the note on his wife’s side of the bed and slept. When he woke up the following morning, it was 8am, and his wife had gone to work. He was furious, and as he fumed, he saw a note on his side of the bed where his wife wrote, “Darling, wake up. It’s 6am.” After sharing the joke, God told me, “Tell My people: I won’t talk to those of you who don’t talk to Me.” God loves it when you talk to Him, and when you do, you invite Him to also speak with you.

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, the first thing He said was, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father…” (Luke 11:2). No father loves it when his children don’t talk to him. As a father, I enjoy it when my children spend time with me. 1 John 3:1 says that the Father has bestowed such great love on you by calling you His son. John 8:35 says that a servant doesn’t abide in the house, but a son abides forever. As God’s precious child, you have access to Him at all times. You can call on Him and talk to Him about anything, and He will respond.

If you’re a child of God, seek to be more intimate with your Father every day (Philippians 3:10). If, however, you’re not yet a child of God, then you cannot have access to Him until you acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. If you were once a Christian but have backslidden and disconnected yourself from God like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), run back into His waiting arms.

Beloved, God longs and seeks for His children to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23). Fulfil His desire by speaking with Him continually.

ACTION POINTS:

Talk to your heavenly Father every day. Also, today is Father’s Day; call or spend time with your father or any other father figure in your life.

HYMN 6 – I Am So Glad That Our Father In Heaven

1 I am so glad that our Father in Heaven

Tells of His love in the Book He has given;Buy bestselling books online

Wonderful things in the Bible I see,

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Refrain

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me.

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.

2 Jesus loves me and I know I love Him;

Love brought Him down my lost soul to redeem;

Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree:

Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.

3 In this assurance I find sweetest rest,

Trusting in Jesus, I know I am blessed;

Satan, dismayed, from my soul now doth flee,

When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.

4 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song through eternity be,

“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!”

5 If one should ask of me, how can I tell?

Glory to Jesus, I know very well!

God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,

Constantly witnessing Jesus loves me.
