The Topic of Open Heavens for 15th August
2023 Is “ From Darkness to Light I”
MEMORISE: John
9:5
As
long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
READ: 1 John 1:5-10
5 This is
the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is
light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we
say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not
practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we
say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and
His word is not in us.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL
FOR TODAY
There
are certain things in life that are very difficult to define. One of such
things is light. If someone asks you, “What is light?”, you may simply say it is
the opposite of darkness. However, to understand light, you need to understand
what darkness stands for. Our case study for this series will be Bartimaeus – a
blind man who met Jesus and the darkness in his life ended.
When you look at Mark 10:46-52, you will see some of the things
that darkness portrays and thus identify certain things hidden in light. For
example, darkness equals sickness. If darkness signifies sickness, then light
signifies healing which is embedded in Jesus Christ the Light of the world
(Exodus 15:26). When you have a relationship with Jesus, sickness cannot
continue to stay in your life. It is no news that darkness and the devil go
hand in hand.
When
you look at Luke 13:11-17, you will see clearly that Jesus Christ called the
spirit of infirmity an agent of the devil. Sickness and disease therefore have
their origin in darkness. However, the light of God can see forces of darkness
and deal with them completely. There was a brother who was going to the USA for
further studies and he threw a party before his departure. In the middle of
this party, an enemy came and planted something evil into his life.
From
the day he arrived in the USA, he began to feel a pain in his stomach. All
kinds of tests were conducted to no avail, yet the pain intensified. He
struggled for six years, taking all manner of drugs until he finished his
studies. When he returned to Nigeria, he heard that we were having a programme
at Ibadan and decided to travel all the way from Zaria. The devil did
everything to stop him but he finally made it on the last day of the programme.
During
the last message, he sat down and as the word of God was coming forth, the
light of God hit him and suddenly, he began to shout, “I am free” because the
pain of more than six years had disappeared. I prophesy to you: It doesn’t
matter how long you have been carrying that sickness or disease; my Daddy will
chase it out today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
