Open Heavens 16 September 2018 Sunday Daily Devotional by Pastor E A Adeboye – Knowledge of Good or Evil?
Topic: Knowledge of Good or Evil? (Open Heavens 16 September 2018)
Memorise: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”- James 1:5
Read: Genesis 3:1-5 (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.
Bible in One Year: Proverbs 23-25, Mark 8:31-9:13
Open Heavens 16 September 2018 Sunday MESSAGE:
Many people don’t know that it is dangerous, if not a curse, to possess the knowledge of evil. To have the knowledge of evil is to know how to do evil. In Genesis 3:5, when the devil told our first parents that their eyes would be open and they would be like God, knowing good and evil, he was literally saying “you will know how to do evil”, even though he did not tell them he was teaching them how to do evil. This is why it is wise for every child of God to understand the source and the nature of any knowledge they are acquiring. In James 3:17, the Holy Spirit recommends the type of applied knowledge we should seek after, saying:
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
Do you know that some people acquire knowledge that destroys their entire life? When a young boy learns how to smoke marijuana or other narcotic substances, he becomes emboldened and begins to feel he has “become a man”. What folly this is! When a young girl is introduced to premarital sex, she may be deceived that such carnal knowledge will make her “a real woman”. Although she may be excited about it, the truth is she only learned how to do evil, and it will destroy her destiny. This is why parents must endeavor to fill their children with godly knowledge before it is too late. God’s wisdom in Proverbs 22:6 says:
“Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
There are ways the devil introduce his “curriculum” on the knowledge of evil to mankind. In today’s Bible reading, he used the deductive method to achieve his goal. He asked: “Did God say that you should not eat of the every tree of the garden?” He was pretending not to know which of the fruits in the garden was forbidden. Would God have arranged for his children to starve by commanding them not to eat of every tree of the garden? Even today, the devil still uses this style. For example, he may come to you saying “Did God say you should not drink any wine?” The answer is definitely “No, what God said is that I should not drink alcoholic wine.” He may also say to you, “Yes, I know God would not want you to have sex because it is bad!” The answer is “No, what God said is that I can only have sex with my spouse.” The devil is a liar, please don’t believe his lies.

Down from the crystal-bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation,
Wonderful story of love.

With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus,

Topic: Righteousness Depends On God, Not On Self [Andrew Wommack 16 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Matthew 21:28-30 “But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.“
Text: Matthew 21:23-24; Mark 11:27-33; 12:1-2; Luke 20:1-9
This parable was given in response to the religious leaders rejecting Jesus’ authority. Through this parable, Jesus reveals God’s rejection of the Jews in response to their rejection of His Son. Jesus is showing that those who do the will of God are actually the ones invested with God’s authority.
These leaders had a form of godliness like this second son, but they were not doing the will of God. The publicans and harlots had no form of godliness, but when confronted with the preaching of John, many of them repented and began to do the will of God like the first son in the story.
These religious Jews, who sat in the seat of Moses, disqualified themselves from being God’s representatives here on earth, because of their hypocrisy and hard hearts. Even the publicans and harlots, who repented at John’s preaching, were ahead of them. There is no sin more frequent among religious people than that of self-righteousness; that is to honor the Lord with the mouth when the heart is far from Him.
These sinners were entering the kingdom of God ahead of the very religious Jews because they knew they were sinners and they put their faith in a Savior. One of the deadliest things about religious self-righteousness is the deception that we will be saved because of our good deeds. We cannot save ourselves regardless of how good we act. Who wants to be the best sinner that ever was sent to Hell?

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. – 1 Timothy 2:1-2
We are commanded to pray for our country and our leaders. But having prayed, God expects us to act. The elections in the United States are vital to the future of this nation. Our country is in the midst of a spiritual outpouring, and it’s vitally important that the right people be elected. We must see to it.
Don’t wait until election time is upon us before you start seeking God for whom to vote. Begin to pray now so that the news media and other voices from every corner cannot influence you and cannot draw you in a direction away from the Spirit of God. Pray so that you won’t be influenced by natural reactions and natural responses to cleverly designed commercials and ideas.
Start praying now about the coming elections. Whether they are small local elections or major national elections, make them a part of every prayer you pray. Then thank the Spirit of God for His wisdom concerning for whom to vote. Thank Him for giving you His wisdom about what to say and when to say it to others. Thank Him for giving you wisdom to declare the Name of Jesus and declare that this shall be a God-indwelt, God-ordained, God-overseen administration.
So register. Pray. Vote. Then stand up and be counted by the power of the living God.

Topic: God’s Wonders of Creation [DCLM Daily Manna 16 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Text: Psalm 104:24-35 (KJV)
Key Verse: “O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” (Psalm 104:24).
MESSAGE:
A song writer once wrote:
“Oh Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the works thy hands hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power thro’ out the universe displayed”.
Today’s text dwells on the praise of God’s wonder through His creation. We read that God’s creation is filled with astonishing varieties of things above and beneath. The psalmist acknowledged God’s infinite wisdom in the way He created both living and non living things which are serviceable to man. God preserves, governs and maintains His creatures. Carefully admiring all these wonders of creation, the psalmist declared that he would praise God as long as he lived. What about you? Have you ever paused to ponder on the massive, glowing galaxy under which every creature exists? what power is holding it from falling? the air you breathe? the uniqueness of each creature and so on? Doing this will enable you live a life of appreciation to God.
There are, however, people who doubt the existence of God and think they do not need Him. This kind of depravity is referred to as foolishness (Psalm 14:1). Do not allow any circumstance of life to make you doubt the existence of God. Those who do so will perish, except they repent and trust in Christ’s sacrifice for their salvation. Like the psalmist, we should dwell much on praising God as long as we live, knowing that we have our being from Him and depend on Him for survival.
Thought For The Day: Great is our God and great are His wondrous works.
