Open Heaven 1st June 2021 Devotional for Tuesday – Is God Silent?
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL FOR TUESDAY 1ST MAY 2021 WRITTEN BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
TOPIC: IS GOD SILENT?
MEMORISE: “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:” – (Isaiah 59:1)
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 59:1-3 (KJV)
1. Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear;
2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
MESSAGE: Open Heaven 1st June 2021 Devotional for Tuesday
Usually, when people think God is silent, He may be speaking but they are just not listening. At other times, they don’t want to accept what He has to say. God can also be silent when your covenant with Him has been broken. This happened with King Saul who wanted to hear from God as well as familiar spirits.
If you have prayed to know God’s mind on certain issues and He seems to be silent, turn the searchlight on yourself. God is never at fault; check your heart, sincerity and willingness to accept His plan for you. God refuses to speak to some people simply because they have idols in their hearts. Never allow your desire to stand between you and God. When it appears as if God is silent, then there may be something you have to give up. Ezekiel 14:3 says:
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Some people cannot hear God because sin has created a barrier between them and God (Isaiah 59:1-3) or they have a wrong motive. James 4:3 says: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

For your prayers to be answered, you need to bring down the glory of God. God’s glory brings deliverance. Psalm 24:8 says the Lord of glory is strong and mighty in battle. I recall a student who wet himself in an examination hall. He was going to be excused from the hall when he asked the people around to send for his pastor. I was called and briefed on what happened.
I got to the place and, discerning that the boy was under some demonic manipulation, I commanded the foul spirit to lose its hold in Jesus’ name. God answered and he was immediately set free. He changed his clothes, returned to the hall and finished before everybody else. Just imagine what would have happened if I had not been in tune with the Spirit of God to know what to do.
The shortest way of calling God’s attention when it seems He is silent is through intense praise. God dwells in the praises of His people. His glory announces His person and presence; it is a revelation of His power and awesomeness. No enemy can stand His glory. Call on Him today, listen to what He has to say and watch your life turn around for good.
ACTION POINT:
Meditate over all what God has told you in the past and see whether you have ignored any. If you have, repent and restitute your ways.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hebrews 5-7
