Open Heaven 28 October 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – When God Is Near
Open Heaven 28 October 2024 TOPIC: When God Is Near
MEMORISE: “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” – Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 29:2 (KJV)
2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 19-20
Open Heaven 28 October 2024 MESSAGE
The Bible says you should seek God while He may be found and call on Him while He is near. Once you hear that, the next question on your mind should be, “How do I know when God may be found or when He is near?” That question is very valid. However, what you really need to know is how to draw Him near to you. John 4:23-24 says:
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The Scripture above tells me that rather than trying to seek God while He may be found when I cannot even see Him, if I worship Him in spirit and in truth, He will be the One to seek me out. Instead of me calling Him without knowing whether He is near or far, if I just concentrate on worshipping Him, He will draw near to me. If you want God to always be near you, you must be committed to worshipping Him like no one else does. He is drawn to people that worship Him. Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. Israel here refers to those who worship Him in spirit and in truth.
People generally move towards where they are being praised. Where I’m from in the Western part of Nigeria, if you are at a party and the musician suddenly starts singing your praises, it is expected that you will stand on your feet and go towards him or her dancing. That is what happens when we sing praises to God; He draws near us. This is one major secret that David knew, which made God answer His prayers. He said that whenever he wanted to approach God, he went in with praises and thanksgiving (Psalm 100:4). By the time he had praised and thanked God for a while, he will find himself in the very courts of God. Once he had God near him, he could call on Him and be sure to receive answers to his prayers.
Beloved, henceforth, deliberately draw God close to you at all times with praise and worship.
Open Heaven 28 October 2024 KEY POINT
Don’t ask God for anything until you have praised Him enough to draw Him close to you.
Open Heaven 28 October 2024 HYMN 1 – All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name

responsive to his call,

4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng
we at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
