Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And it
came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Exodus 1:21
Read: Exodus
1:15-21
Over 30 years ago, we received an invitation to attend
Kenneth Hagin's camp meeting in America. My father in the Lord, Ra Akindayomi
was to go with me and four others but we could not secure accommodation and we
knew nobody there. While we were wondering whether to go or not, I said,
"If Jesus has gone to prepare mansions for us in Heaven, it will not be
too difficult for Him to provide us a room in America". So we set off on
our journey. As we arrived at the airport, one of my friends was at the corner
phoning some hotels about 30 kilometres away, but they were all fully booked.
After a while, I asked him why he was calling distant hotels when we could not
afford the cost of transportation to such locations. I insisted he called up
hotels closest to the venue of the programme. He looked at me as if I was
crazy. Then he asked me, "If those distant hotels are fully booked what would
you expect of the ones that are close to the venue?" Yet I insisted he
called for one room for missionaries from Africa and as he did, two rooms were
provided. On reaching there, I asked the man in charge, "Are you really
sure you cannot give us an additional room?" I did not want Rapa to stay
in the same room with us. And we got the third room.
Because your Father has mansions in Heaven, He will give you
a house. Are you trusting God for a roof over your head? A decent one is corn
ing your way now. There is a user of this Devotional who has been wondering
when he can have enough to afford a land. God is not only going to give you a
land but also a house. As the Lord fulfils this, go and give Him thanks in
church and share your testimony with others. Have you started building but you
have been going at snail's pace, and you have been wondering when you will
finish the house? Or do you have an abandoned building project? In the name of
Jesus every siege over your finances and over that building project is
destroyed. I command divine speed in completing that project now! God will
build you houses like He did to the midwives because they feared God at the
risk of their lives. Do you?
PRAYER POINT:
Every building project I have laid my hands on, be completed
with speed in Jesus name.
