OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Tuesday MAY 6TH 2025 THEME: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION III MEMORIZE: The counsel of f the LORD Standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Psalm 33:11 READ: Genesis 50:16-20 16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. MESSAGE As I conclude the teaching I started two days ago, I want you to take special note of today’s memory verse. It tells us that God’s counsel will stand forever. This implies that no matter what anyone tries, God’s plan for your life can never be changed. Isaiah 46:10 says, “…My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” When things that do not seem to align with God’s plan for your life start happening to you, don’t despair; trust God and be confident that He is able to make all things work together for your good. For example, in the Bible, God showed Joseph a glimpse of His plan for his life in two dreams (Genesis 37:5-9). However, instead of keeping his mouth shut, he announced the dreams to his brothers and parents. His brothers got angry and sold him into slavery. They thought they were destroying him, but little did they know that they were helping Him towards his destiny. After he was brought into Potiphar’s house, tragedy struck again, and he found himself in prison. I’m sure the devil must have mocked him and asked, “Now, what has become of your big dreams?” However, God never fails to bring His word to pass; He hastens His word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). The bigger the challenges, the more He will showcase His mighty power. God had a great destiny prepared for David, but the moment the oil came upon his head and he was anointed as king, it seemed all hell was let loose upon him. He became a fugitive for 13 years, moving from one hideout to another. In his psalms, he recorded how he felt during that season (Psalm 88:15, Psalm 25:16). However, despite all he faced, he still became Israel’s king as God ordained. I am sure that was why he said, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). Beloved, no matter how much the enemy tries to stop you from achieving that glorious destiny that God has prepared for you, I want you to know that all things will work together for your good when you love God, and you are aligned with His purpose (Romans 8:28). Loving God means that you must obey all His commands (John 14:15). Don’t lose hope when negative circumstances come your way. Trust in God, obey all His commandments, and He will surely bring you to a glorious end in Him. KEY POINT No matter the difficulties you may be facing in your life, God is able to make all things work together for your good. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 24-26 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 1 When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Refrain: Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 2 Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey. 3 But we never can prove the delights of his love until all on the altar we lay; for the favor he shows, for the joy he bestows, are for them who will trust and obey. 4 Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet, or we'll walk by his side in the way; what he says we will do, where he sends we will go; never fear, only trust and obey. #olufaderomi #grace

History: A Guide to the Present and the Future. The study of the past to understand the present and predict the future is the sole purpose of history. Yet, it is quite unfortunate that many who study history fail to learn its lessons. Time and time again, century after century, people keep making the same mistakes their forefathers made. They pass down these mistakes—knowingly or unknowingly—to their children, who in turn pass them to the next generation. Historical mistakes don’t just lie in matters of health; they affect all aspects of life. A society that doesn’t learn from history is bound to keep moving in circles, repeating old patterns and handing them over to future generations. So, learn from history. Don’t just memorize historical names and dates. Understand the why, the how, and the consequences. History is the study of the past, to understand the present and predict the future. So do you just know history and not learn the lessons? #grace #julietchinenyenwaalex

Oh Lord, Let Your Name Be Praised in My Life Oh Lord, my God, mighty and true, Let Your name be praised in all I do. In my rising and in my rest, May Your glory shine, my soul be blessed. Through trials deep and valleys low, Your grace sustains, Your mercy flows. In joy and triumph, love and light, Your name I lift, my guiding might. Oh Lord, let my life declare, Your faithfulness beyond compare. Forevermore, my voice will raise, To sing Your wonders, to give You praise! Amen.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. Relationships don’t fail because love died. They fail because people got stuck in a stage and didn’t grow through it. Here’s a breakdown of the 𝟲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, and what each one demands from you: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟭: 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (𝟬–𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀) When everything feels magical — but most of it is fantasy. • Intense attraction and excitement • Constant communication and longing • Idealization: seeing them as perfect • You’re falling fast — but not deep yet Enjoy the spark, but don’t mistake it for a foundation. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮: 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 (𝟯–𝟲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀) The butterflies turn into bonding. • Emotional connection deepens • Affection and physical intimacy increase • Shared experiences grow • You feel “in love” Chemistry starts it, but connection sustains it. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟯: 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 (𝟲–𝟭𝟮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀) Love now has a mirror — and it shows the truth. • Flaws, habits, and differences emerge • Disagreements surface • Your ability to communicate is tested • Love becomes a choice, not just a feeling This stage makes or breaks the relationship. Grow, or it cracks. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟰: 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗬 & 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧 (𝟭–𝟮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀) You’re either building something solid — or drifting apart. • Emotional vulnerability increases • Deeper understanding and acceptance • Shared values and life goals become clear • Security and trust replace uncertainty Safety, not spark, builds intimacy. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟱: 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 (𝟭–𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀) Now it’s about the life you’re building, not just the love you’re feeling. • Long-term decisions are made together • Responsibilities are shared • You face life’s seasons as a team • Love feels rooted Love is not something you feel every day, it’s something you choose every day. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟲: 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗧𝗛 & 𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (𝟱+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀) It’s no longer just about staying together — it’s about growing together. • Personal and relational growth • Navigating change and life challenges • Deep companionship and peace • Reinventing love in each season Great relationships evolve, they don’t stay where they started. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 You don’t need a 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. You need two people 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. Don’t quit at the hard parts. That’s where most love stories lose their plot. #olufaderomi #grace #RelationshipWisdom #LoveGrowth #EmotionalIntelligence #KnowTheStages #olufaderomi

God is not interested in these narrative and comparison saga because HE is a provider of Foods on the table and He owns the mysterious table that tables foods and goodness for both good and bad people. The only thing is that let us humble ourselves before Him so that we can possess our possession, To Cap it all, The Bible says "I have observed something else under the sun, The faster runner doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy , And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives, It is all decided by chance, by being in a right place at the right time. #Olufaderomi# #grace
