    TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD VI

    MEMORISE:
    Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
    1 Peter 5:7

    READ: 2 Kings 4:1-7
    Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
    2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
    3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
    4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
    5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

    6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
    7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Today, I will discuss God’s unlimited capacity to meet all your needs with His unlimited resources.

    The Bible is filled with many accounts that show that God is unlimited when it comes to supplying the needs of His children, and today’s Bible reading is one of such accounts. The widow of a man of God was in a really terrible situation because she was in a lot of debt, and her creditors had come to take her two sons as slaves to pay it off. Thankfully, the woman ran to Elisha to tell him about her ordeal. By running to the man of God, she invited the Unlimited God into her situation, and not only did He meet her immediate needs, He also provided for her future needs.

    Beloved, God is not limited by what you have or do not have to provide for your needs. He is not limited by who you know or do not know to supply the resources you need. His resources are unlimited, so unlimited that He can wipe out all the debt you might be owing in one day, no matter how huge they are. He is Jehovah El-Shaddai, which some Bible scholars translate as ‘The Mother’s Breast. In a mother’s breast, there is enough milk for her babies to feed. God is unlimited, and He can supply whatever you need. Some Bible scholars have also said that when Jesus said, “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it,” in John 14:14, He was actually saying, “If you ask for something that I haven’t created already, I will create it for you.” That is how unlimited our God is.

    In John 1:1-3, the Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” Because God made all things, He owns all things, and because He owns all things, He can use anything He deems fit to ensure that your needs are met. Never doubt that God cares for you. If He ensures that the birds of the air don’t lack what to eat daily (Matthew 6:25-26), then He will abundantly supply your needs. Put all your trust in the Unlimited God;

    He is more than able to supply all your needs according to His unlimited riches (Philippians 4:19).

    KEY POINT:

    The Unlimited God truly cares for you, and He has more than enough to meet your needs.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

    Deuteronomy 9-11

    Open Heavens HYMN 54: THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 24 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: 1 Peter 5:7
    “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
    This command is rooted in the character of God. We are to cast our anxieties—our debts, our lacks, our fears about provision—because the One we cast them upon is fundamentally, intrinsically care-full toward us. His care is not passive sentiment but active, engaged benevolence that mobilizes His unlimited resources on our behalf. To withhold our care is to doubt His care.

    BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 4:1-7
    This passage is a perfect case study in divine provision. The widow’s predicament was extreme: debt threatening the dissolution of her family. Her resource was negligible—“not anything… save a pot of oil.” Yet, her action was correct: she “ran to the man of God.” This represented a turn from human solutions to divine connection. Elisha’s instructions (borrowing empty vessels, shutting the door) required faith and obedience. The miracle was proportional to her capacity to believe and receive (“as many as thou canst”). The oil stopped only when there was no more capacity to contain it, proving God’s supply matches and exceeds our prepared expectation.

    The Unlimited God in the Face of Dire Need

    Daddy Adeboye focuses on the most pressing form of limitation: material and financial need. The widow’s story proves that no situation is too desperate, no debt too large, and no resource too small for God. By inviting God into her crisis, she accessed a solution that was creative (using common oil), abundant (filling every available vessel), and sustainable (providing for her future).

    The Nature of Our Unlimited Provider

    The devotional expands our understanding of God’s provision with powerful imagery and theology:

    1. Jehovah El-Shaddai – The All-Sufficient One: The translation “The Mother’s Breast” is profound. A mother’s milk is perfectly designed, constantly renewed, and always available to meet the child’s need. It is a picture of intimate, nurturing, and self-replenishing supply. God is not a distant banker; He is a nurturing Parent whose very nature is to sustain His children.
    2. The Creative Power in a Prayer: The insight into John 14:14 is staggering: “If you ask for something that I haven’t created already, I will create it for you.” Our needs do not strain a pre-existing inventory; they engage His creative power. The God who spoke worlds into existence can speak a new solution, a new resource, or a new stream of income into your life. His creativity is part of His unlimited capacity.
    3. The Owner of All Things: John 1:3 establishes that “All things were made by him.” Therefore, He has sovereignty over all created things—money systems, natural resources, human inventions. He can redirect “anything He deems fit”—an unexpected check, a favor, a sudden idea, a commodity like oil—to meet your need. He is not limited by your network; He commands the network.

    The Foundation: His Unchanging Care

    The entire promise rests on the bedrock of God’s character: “Never doubt that God cares for you.”Daddy Adeboye points to the logic of Matthew 6:26: if God meticulously provides for birds, how much more will He do for you, His redeemed child? Anxiety is a form of practical atheism that says, “God does not see or care about my need.” The command is to “cast” that lie away and replace it with active trust.

    The Action and Promise of Total Provision

    The conclusion merges a command with a magnificent promise:

    • The Command: “Put all your trust in the Unlimited God.” This is the active response. It means to stop trusting in your savings, your job, or your own ingenuity as your primary source, and to transfer the full weight of your dependence onto Him.
    • The Promise: “He is more than able to supply all your needs according to His unlimited riches.”This is a direct citation of Philippians 4:19. Note the words:
      • “More than able” – His ability exceeds your biggest need.
      • “All your needs” – Comprehensive, not selective.
      • “According to His unlimited riches” – He does not measure out help from a limited stash; He draws from the infinite treasury of His glory.

    How to Access His Unlimited Supply

    1. Run to Your ‘Elisha’: Bring your crisis to God in prayer and to godly counsel. Don’t hide your need; voice it before the Lord and His representatives.
    2. Gather Your ‘Empty Vessels’: Act in faith to prepare for the blessing. If it’s debt, create a budget and list your creditors. If it’s a business, prepare the systems. Faith prepares capacity.
    3. Shut the Door: Remove distractions and the voices of doubt. Get alone with God in persistent, believing prayer. The miracle happened in the private place of obedience.
    4. Pray with Creative Expectation: Ask boldly, knowing your God can create a solution that doesn’t yet exist. Base your request on His nature as El-Shaddai and Creator.
    5. Cast the Care, Keep the Trust: Daily, verbally cast your financial anxieties upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). Then, refuse to pick them back up. Walk in the peace that He is caring for you.

    Prayer to Your All-Sufficient Provider:
    “Jehovah El-Shaddai, my All-Sufficient God, I come to You today casting all my care upon You, for I know You care for me. I confess my anxieties about [mention your specific need]. I declare that You are not limited by what I have or do not have. You are the Creator and Owner of all things. Today, I put all my trust in You. I ask in the name of Jesus for Your creative, abundant, and sustaining provision. Meet my immediate need and provide for my future, according to Your unlimited riches in glory. I prepare my heart and my hands to receive all You have for me. Thank You for being my caring, nurturing, and all-powerful Provider. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

    TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD V

    MEMORISE:
    The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
    Haggai 2:8

    READ: Psalm 50:10-15
    10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
    11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
    12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
    13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
    14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
    15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 23 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Over the past few days, I have discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition, circumstances, or time. I will continue this series today by discussing how He rules in the affairs of men and cannot be hindered by resources.

    Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” There is no need that is too great for God, the One who made the earth and its fullness, to meet.

    The world’s richest man today only has a fraction of the earth’s resources. Also, the combined wealth of the world’s richest people is only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast riches that God has put on earth.

    In Mark 6:35-44, when a multitude gathered before Jesus and the disciples were worried about how to feed them, He asked them to search if they could find some loaves of bread, but all they found was a little boy’s meal. I am sure the disciples must have thought that Jesus would laugh when they brought it to Him, but He took that little meal and multiplied it to feed over 5,000 people.

    When you give your little resources to the Lord, He will ensure that you have more than you need.

    In 2 Kings 4:42-44, a man brought some foodstuff to Elisha that would have lasted him for a couple of days or weeks. However, Elisha was not alone; he had 100 other men, sons of the prophets, with him.

    When he asked his servant to serve the men, the servant wondered how such a small quantity of food would be enough. However, when the word of the Unlimited God came, that little food fed 100 men, and there were leftovers. When the word of the Lord comes upon the little you have, it will be more than enough.

    In today’s memory verse, God said that silver and gold belong to Him. Likewise, in today’s Bible reading, He said that the beasts of the field and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His.

    God has unlimited resources, and one way to enjoy them is to live a life of thanksgiving. When you appreciate God for everything He has done, He will do much more. It is the will of God that you give thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

    Beloved, make giving thanks to your heavenly Father your lifestyle. There is no limit to what God can supply when you give Him thanks in all things.

    KEY POINT:

    God is not limited by resources.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

    Deuteronomy 5-8

    HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 23 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Haggai 2:8
    “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.”
    This is a definitive declaration of divine ownership. God is not merely the distributor of wealth; He is its Creator and sole Proprietor. All precious resources are His by right. This means our needs never outstrip His supply, for we are not asking a reluctant benefactor but the Owner Himself, who has pledged Himself to His children. Our lack cannot hinder Him because He holds the deed to every mine and the title to every treasure.

    BIBLE READING: Psalm 50:10-15
    This passage presents God’s majestic self-sufficiency. He does not need our sacrifices because “every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.” His ownership is absolute. Yet, in His grace, He invites us into a covenant of thanksgiving and trust. The sacrifice He desires is “thanksgiving” and the keeping of our vows. When we call upon Him in our need, He promises to deliver us, and we shall glorify Him. This frames our relationship with the Resourceful God: not as beggars, but as thankful children asking their wealthy Father.

    The Unlimited God of Unlimited Resources

    Daddy Adeboye continues the series on God’s invincibility by addressing a universal anxiety: resources. Human logic says opposition, circumstances, time, and scarcity are ultimate limiters. But the Almighty is limited by none of these. If He owns everything, then “need” is merely a context for Him to display His provision. The combined wealth of humanity is but “a drop in the ocean” of His holdings. Therefore, no financial, material, or physical need is “too great” for Him.

    The Principle of Divine Multiplication

    Two biblical examples illustrate how God’s economy works:

    1. The Boy’s Lunch (Mark 6:35-44): The disciples saw insufficiency (“What are these among so many?”). Jesus saw raw material for a miracle. He took the “little” that was willingly given, gave thanks, and broke it. The breaking (surrender) preceded the multiplication. The lesson: “When you give your little resources to the Lord, He will ensure that you have more than you need.”Your small offering in His hands becomes more than enough.
    2. The Man’s Firstfruits (2 Kings 4:42-44): A man brought a modest offering (20 loaves) to the man of God. The servant saw impossibility. But “when the word of the Unlimited God came,” the natural laws of scarcity were suspended. The key was the prophetic word—God’s decree over the resources. The principle: “When the word of the Lord comes upon the little you have, it will be more than enough.” God’s spoken promise activates supernatural supply.

    The Key to Access: A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving

    The devotional reveals a profound spiritual key to unlocking this unlimited provision: “one way to enjoy them is to live a life of thanksgiving.”

    • Thanksgiving Acknowledges Ownership: When we thank God, we are affirming Psalm 24:1 and Haggai 2:8. We are saying, “I know this all came from You.” This correct posture pleases the Owner and opens the channel for more.
    • Thanksgiving is God’s Will: It is “the will of God” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Obedience in thankfulness positions us under the fountain of His blessing.
    • Thanksgiving Triggers Multiplication: As with the loaves, Jesus gave thanks before the miracle. A thankful heart creates the spiritual atmosphere for multiplication. “When you appreciate God for everything He has done, He will do much more.” Gratitude for past provision is faith for future supply.

    The Call to a Thankful Lifestyle

    The conclusion is a clear command and promise: “make giving thanks to your heavenly Father your lifestyle.” This isn’t occasional gratitude but a constant attitude—a default setting of the heart.

    • The Promise: “There is no limit to what God can supply when you give Him thanks in all things.”The only limit removed is the limit of our own complaining, entitled, or anxious spirit. A thankful spirit is an unlimited receiver because it is perfectly aligned with the heart of the Unlimited Giver.

    How to Practice Provision-Attracting Thankfulness

    1. Audit Your “Little”: Present what you have (time, skills, money, possessions) to God in prayer. Say, “Lord, this is Yours. I give it to You. Multiply it for Your purpose.”
    2. Invite His Word Over Your Resources: Don’t just budget; prophesy. Speak God’s word of promise (Philippians 4:19, Psalm 23:1) over your finances and needs. Let His word come upon your “little.”
    3. Implement a Thanksgiving Discipline: Daily, list and verbally thank God for specific things—both big and small. Thank Him for what you have and in advance for what you need.
    4. Thank Him in the Crisis: When faced with lack, choose to thank God for His ownership and past faithfulness first, before you present your request. This is the “sacrifice of praise” (Hebrews 13:15).
    5. View Yourself as a Conduit, Not a Reservoir: Give generously out of your “little,” as the boy and the man did. This act of faith demonstrates you believe the Source is unlimited and will replenish you.

    Prayer of Thanksgiving and Release:
    “Lord of Hosts, Owner of all silver and gold, I declare that every resource I need belongs to You. Today, I present my life and all I have to You. I thank You for Your past provision, for Your present faithfulness, and for the future supply You have already prepared. Forgive me for anxiety over scarcity. I choose a lifestyle of thanksgiving. I invite Your word to come upon my finances, my pantry, and my abilities. Multiply them for Your glory and for the blessing of others. As I live thankfully, I receive from Your unlimited riches, knowing there is no limit to what You can do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

    MEMORISE:
    And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
    Daniel 2:21

    READ: John 11:20-44
    20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
    21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
    22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
    23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
    24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
    25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
    27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
    28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
    29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
    30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

    31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
    32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
    33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
    34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
    35 Jesus wept.

    36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
    37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
    38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
    39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
    40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

    41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
    42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
    43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
    44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 22 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Today, as I continue discussing the unlimited nature of the Almighty God, I want to let you know that He is also not limited by time because He controls times and seasons, as we see in today’s memory verse.

    He enthrones kings and dethrones them at will. He is the source of all wisdom, and He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. I declare that regardless of the challenges you may be facing, the Unlimited God, who controls times and seasons, will turn everything around for your good, in Jesus’ name.

    There is nothing called ‘too late’ with God because time cannot stop Him when He wants to achieve something.

    In today’s Bible reading, everyone, including Lazarus’ sisters, thought it was too late for Jesus to do anything about Lazarus’ situation because he was now dead. However, Jesus said, ” am never late.” The sisters felt that Jesus didn’t understand how bad the situation was, and one of them, Martha, said, “By now, he will have started stinking.” They didn’t know that it is never too late for God to showcase His glory. I decree that every blessing that has been considered ‘too late’ for you will begin to manifest in your life.

    A woman was barren, and her husband had spent large sums of money seeking a solution to her barrenness to no avail. Finally, they went to a professor who decided to run some special tests on her, and he discovered that the woman had no ovaries. He called the husband aside and said, “Why are you wasting your time? Your wife has no ovaries. She cannot produce an egg for you to fertilise. Forget it; you can never have children!”

    On hearing the professor’s report, the woman concluded that her case was hopeless and she would never have children. However, her husband said, “That’s the doctor’s report. Let’s go and hear Jesus’ report.” Не brought her to one of the RCCG conventions, and as I laid my hands on her, she fell under the anointing and remained on the ground for about 45 minutes. I thought she was sleeping because the programme was held at night, but I didn’t know that my Father was performing a special operation on her. The following year, the woman came back rejoicing with her baby.

    Beloved, I pray for you today that the Unlimited God will cancel any report that is contrary to His will for your life, in Jesus’ name.

    KEY POINT:

    The Unlimited God has times and seasons in His hands, so nothing is too late or impossible for Him to do.

    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 21 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Over the past two days, l’ve discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition or seemingly impossible situations. Today, I want to talk about how the Almighty God reveals His invincible nature in the midst of circumstances that seem to be out of control.

    A lady once came to me crying for help. When I asked her what the problem was, she said that her husband abandoned her with their four children and went to live with another woman who had five children from other men.

    The lady told me, “I fought and did everything I could to keep my husband, but I lost. Now, I want God to help me.” I told her that the issue was a simple one since she had decided to allow God to help her. I prayed with her and assured her that her husband would return home to apologise to her.

    A few days later, her husband and the strange woman started quarrelling, and the strange woman said to him, “Don’t you know you are out of your senses? If you are within your senses, how will you leave your wife and your four children to come and stay with a woman who has five children, none of which are yours?” The man replied, “That is true, you know.” He acknowledged that he was out of his senses, so he packed his belongings and returned home.

    When he got home, he pleaded with his wife to take him back, and she did. I decree that all your defeats shall be turned to victory, in Jesus’ name. Wherever things have gone out of control in your life, the Unlimited God will step in and rearrange them in your favour.

    When an election was drawing near in Nigeria some years ago, some people were panicking because things seemed very uncertain. I asked some of them, “Do you think God is scratching His head and asking Himself, ‘What is the best action to take now?’” No situation catches the Almighty God by surprise, and no situation is too complicated for Him to unravel. Everyone and everything we see on earth is under His feet because heaven is His throne, and the earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1).

    Beloved, do not ever be anxious about situations that seem to be out of control. Place them in the hands of the Unlimited God; He will bring everything under control and give you peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).

    PRAYER POINT:

    Father, I place every aspect of my life in Your unlimited hands. Please take control, in Jesus’ name.

    “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
    This verse is the ultimate declaration of God’s absolute sovereignty. It states that human power is insignificant before Him, that He exercises uncontested will over all spiritual and earthly realms, and that His actions are unchallengeable. No being can “stay his hand”—no force can hinder, delay, or alter His purpose. This is the foundation for peace in chaotic times.

    BIBLE READING: Daniel 2:20-22
    In this passage, Daniel praises God specifically for His dominion over confusion and uncertainty. He blesses God who “changeth the times and the seasons” and “revealeth the deep and secret things.” He acknowledges that God “knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” This is God’s invincible nature in action: He is the Revealer of mysteries, the Master of timing, and the One for whom darkness is as light. He is never perplexed.

    The Invincible God in “Out of Control” Circumstances

    Daddy Adeboye transitions from God’s ability to break opposition to His mastery over chaos. Human life is full of situations that seem irretrievably broken—relationships shattered, minds clouded, nations in turmoil. This devotional asserts that these are the very platforms where God reveals His invincible nature, proving He is the “Unlimited God” who can step in and “rearrange”things in our favour.

    Case Study 1: The Rearrangement of a Fractured Home

    The story of the abandoned wife is a masterclass in divine rearrangement.

    • The Human Limit: The wife had exhausted all human effort—”I fought and did everything I could… but I lost.” This is the point of surrender where God often begins.
    • The Divine Simplicity: Daddy Adeboye’s response, “the issue was a simple one since she had decided to allow God to help her,” reveals a key principle: the complexity of a problem is reduced to zero when placed in the hands of an omnipotent God.
    • The Method of God: God did not force the man. He restored the man’s sanity (“you are out of your senses”). He used the words of the very source of the problem (the other woman) to bring conviction. God rearranged the man’s thinking, which then rearranged his actions, leading to repentance and restoration. The decree, “all your defeats shall be turned to victory,” is based on this God who turns chaos into order.

    Case Study 2: The Sovereignty Over National Chaos

    The election anxiety illustrates God’s dominion on a macro scale. The rhetorical question—“Do you think God is scratching His head…?”—is a powerful rebuke to human panic. It makes two points:

    1. God is Never Surprised: “No situation catches the Almighty God by surprise.”
    2. God is Never Perplexed: “No situation is too complicated for Him to unravel.”
    • The reference to Isaiah 66:1 (“heaven is His throne, the earth is His footstool”) visually reminds us that from His perspective, the entire chaotic earth is under His feet. He is seated, not scrambling. He is ruling, not reacting.

    The Correct Posture: From Anxiety to Trust

    The application is clear: “Do not ever be anxious about situations that seem to be out of control.”Anxiety is a form of atheism—it assumes the situation is beyond God’s reach or concern. The alternative is to “place them in the hands of the Unlimited God.” This is an act of deliberate faith.

    • The Promise of His Intervention: He “will bring everything under control.” This does not always mean the outcome we envision, but it means He will exert His sovereign will to bring about a result that fulfills His purpose and ultimately benefits His children (Romans 8:28).
    • The Promise of His Peace: The result of this trust is “peace that passes all understanding”(Philippians 4:7). This is a supernatural calm that guards your heart and mind even while the storm rages, because you know who is in charge of the storm.

    How to Practically Place Chaos in God’s Hands

    1. Acknowledge His Sovereignty Verbally: Pray using Daniel 4:35. Declare, “Lord, I acknowledge that no one can stay Your hand in this situation. I repute all opposing forces as nothing before You.”
    2. Surrender Your “Fighting”: Like the wife, stop relying on your own strategies and manipulations. Say, “I have done all I can. Now, I allow You to help me.”
    3. Pray for Divine Rearrangement: Ask God to rearrange minds, circumstances, and systems. Pray for restored sanity, as in the husband’s case, or for divine revelation in dark situations, as in Daniel 2:22.
    4. Reject Anxiety as an Insult to God’s Throne: When panic rises, ask yourself, “Am I imagining God scratching His head right now?” Use that thought to trigger a choice to trust His seated sovereignty.
    5. Decree Order and Peace: Prophesy to your chaotic situation: “In the name of Jesus, my Unlimited God is now stepping in to rearrange this for my favour. I receive His peace that guards my heart and mind.”

    Prayer to the God of Rearrangement:
    “Unlimited God, King of heaven and earth, I worship You as the One who does according to His will and none can stay Your hand. Today, I place the situation of [name the chaotic circumstance] entirely into Your hands. I cease from my own striving. I ask You to step in and reveal Your invincible nature. Rearrange minds, recalibrate circumstances, and reveal deep secrets that will bring clarity and victory. I reject all anxiety and proclaim that You are not surprised or perplexed. I receive Your peace that transcends all understanding to guard my heart and mind now. I decree that my defeat is turning to victory because You are in control. In Jesus’ sovereign name, Amen.”

    TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD II

    MEMORISE:
    Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
    Genesis 18:14

    READ: Ezekiel 37:1-10
    1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
    2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
    3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
    4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
    5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

    6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
    7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
    8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
    9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
    10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 20 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    God is not only unlimited when it comes to opposition; He also cannot be limited by circumstances.

    In Genesis 18:9-14, when He said that a 90-year-old woman would become pregnant, the woman laughed because, humanly speaking, she had a good cause to laugh. She had reached menopause, and her husband was almost 100 years old, yet God said, “Nine months from now, you will have a baby boy.” When she laughed, God had to call her to order by saying, “Do you think anything can be too hard for me to do?” No case is too difficult for God to solve or too hopeless for Him to turn around.

    The Bible doesn’t tell us how long Manoah and his wife waited to have a child, but their waiting season ended after God sent an angel to visit them (Judges 13:2-24).

    Humanly speaking, Zachariah and Elisabeth were too old to have children. In fact, the Bible says that they were stricken in years, meaning they were old and feeble. Yet, their old and frail nature didn’t stop God from giving them a child (Luke 1:5-25). When God is ready to bring forth life, no deadness can limit Him.

    In today’s Bible reading, Ezekiel saw a valley that was full of dry bones in a vision. Dry bones are associated with people or animals that have been dead for long. When Ezekiel was taken to this valley that was full of dry bones, God asked him if the bones could live again. The man of God immediately realised that he had come face to face with a situation that his faith could not handle. “Lord, only You can tell,” he replied wisely.

    Then, God said to him, “Prophesy to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, hear God’s word and come together, every bone to its bone as it was originally.” Naturally speaking, it is impossible for dry bones to hear anything, but when the Unlimited God steps on the scene, dry bones not only hear, but they come alive, locate the parts they were joined to, and become a mighty army!

    I pray that every dry and dead situation in your life will hear the voice of the Unlimited God and come alive again, in Jesus’ name!

    Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones as the Unlimited God commanded him to. Beloved, when you’re faced with situations that seem hopeless, you must speak God’s word over them. Declare what God has said into seemingly hopeless situations, and nothing will be impossible unto you.

    KEY POINT:

    Speak God’s word into situations that seem to be dead around you, and you will experience the wonders of the Unlimited God.

    Open Heavens HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 20 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Genesis 18:14

    “Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

    This memory verse confronts human logic head-on. Daddy Adeboye draws our attention to a God who sets appointments that biology, age, and history cannot cancel. God did not ask Sarah this question to shame her laughter, but to reveal a timeless truth: impossibility does not exist with Him.


    BIBLE READING: Ezekiel 37:1–10

    This passage is one of the clearest revelations of God’s power over hopeless circumstances.

    Key Insights from Ezekiel 37:

    • v.1–2: The valley was not just empty—it was full of dry bones, symbolising prolonged death and irreversible loss.
    • v.3: God asked a question to shift Ezekiel’s focus from logic to sovereignty.
    • v.4–7: God’s word was spoken into impossibility, and structure returned before life.
    • v.10: What began as bones ended as a mighty army.

    This shows that when God intervenes, restoration can exceed what was originally lost.


    God Is Not Limited by Circumstances

    Daddy Adeboye teaches that God’s unlimited nature is not only revealed in opposition, but also in situations that appear naturally impossible.

    Human beings are limited by:

    • Age
    • Time
    • Biology
    • Medical reports
    • History and past failures

    God is limited by none of these.


    Sarah’s Laughter and God’s Question (Genesis 18:9–14)

    Sarah’s laughter was understandable:

    • She was about 90 years old
    • Menopause had ended her reproductive years
    • Abraham was almost 100

    Yet God announced a fixed timeline: “Nine months from now.”

    God’s Correction:

    “Is anything too hard for Me?”

    This question redefines reality. Daddy Adeboye emphasizes that no case is too complicated, delayed, or embarrassing for God to reverse.


    When Waiting Ends Suddenly: Manoah’s Wife

    Judges 13:2–24 shows another impossible case:

    • A barren woman
    • No recorded timeline of how long they waited
    • No medical explanation

    Yet one divine visitation ended years of silence.

    This teaches us that:

    • Waiting does not mean forgotten
    • Delay does not mean denial
    • God can end a long night in a single moment

    Zachariah and Elisabeth: When Age Is Ignored

    Luke 1:5–25 describes them as:

    • “Stricken in years”
    • Old and feeble
    • Naturally disqualified from childbirth

    Yet Daddy Adeboye highlights a powerful truth:
    When God is ready to bring forth life, no deadness can stop Him.

    God does not need youth, strength, or natural capacity—He supplies life Himself.


    The Valley of Dry Bones: Beyond Hopelessness

    Dry bones are not just dead—they represent:

    • Situations dead for a long time
    • Dreams that died quietly
    • Hopes with no remaining evidence

    When God asked Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?” the prophet wisely replied,
    “O Lord God, Thou knowest.”

    This response acknowledges:

    • Human limitation
    • Divine supremacy

    When the Unlimited God Steps In

    God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy.

    Naturally:

    • Bones cannot hear
    • Bones cannot move
    • Bones cannot reconnect

    Yet when God entered the scene:

    • Dry bones heard
    • Bones located their original positions
    • Life returned
    • An army emerged

    Daddy Adeboye reminds us that God does not just restore—He transforms.


    Your Responsibility in Hopeless Situations

    Ezekiel obeyed and spoke as commanded.

    Key Lesson:

    When you face impossible situations:

    • Don’t stay silent
    • Don’t analyse endlessly
    • Don’t surrender to fear

    You must speak God’s word.

    Declare what God has said—even when circumstances disagree.


    Speaking Life Is an Act of Faith

    Beloved, faith is not denying reality; it is affirming God’s authority over reality.

    • Speak to dead dreams
    • Speak to delayed promises
    • Speak to barren areas of life

    Daddy Adeboye assures us:
    When God’s word is declared, nothing remains impossible.


    Conclusion: Dead Things Can Hear God

    No matter how dry, old, delayed, or buried a situation is, it still responds to the voice of the Unlimited God.

    Prayer:

    “Unlimited God, I bring every dry and dead situation in my life before You. Let them hear Your voice today. I receive restoration, life, and strength by Your word, in Jesus’ name.”

    Action Steps:

    • Identify one “dry bones” situation in your life.
    • Find a specific scripture that speaks to it.
    • Declare that scripture aloud daily for 7 days.
    • Refuse silence—speak life consistently.

    Remember:
    If God could turn dry bones into an army, your situation is not beyond hope. Trust the Unlimited God and speak His word boldly.

    MEMORISE:
    Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
    Isaiah 43:13

    READ: Psalm 2:1-12
    1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
    2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
    3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
    4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
    5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

    6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
    7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
    8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
    9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
    10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

    11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
    12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 19 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27

    God likes to ask questions, and we see several instances of this in the Bible. When He asks a question, however, it isn’t because He doesn’t know the answer, but because He wants to reveal something about Himself. God asked the question in the Scripture above because He wanted to let you know that He is unlimited.

    The word ‘unlimited’ is a combination of two words: ‘un’ and ‘limited’. ‘Un’ is a prefix of Latin and Greek origin that simply means ‘not, while to be limited is to be restricted. Therefore, when we say that God is unlimited, it means that He is sovereign and has absolutely no restrictions.

    The devil limits people by placing an embargo on their lives that says, “Thus far can you go and no further.” For instance, if someone is lame, he or she might be able to crawl but cannot stand, walk, or run; hence, the fellow’s movement is limited.

    God is not limited and cannot be hindered; He cannot be stopped from doing what He wants. Our God, the I AM THAT I AM, cannot be limited by anyone or anything.

    When God wants to work, no one can hinder Him; when He wants to create something, He can use what seems like nothing to produce a masterpiece.

    When He saw how chaotic and dark the earth was in the beginning, He didn’t wring His hands in frustration and despair. Instead, He said, “Let there be Light!” (Genesis 1:3). As thick as the darkness was, it fled at the sound of God’s voice. Whenever opposing forces gather, He who sits in the heavens laughs because His unlimited power can be displayed without question (Psalm 2:1-4).

    In today’s Bible reading, we see how the nations and heathen kings gathered to oppose God, but in the end, they failed. When the enemy stacks one opposition after another against you, that is time to laugh because you have a Father who is truly unlimited. If you call on His name and put your total trust in Him, He will work His wonders in your life, regardless of the nature of the opposition or the number of enemies you might be facing.

    Beloved, you have no reason to be intimidated by the devil’s threats and obstacles that seem insurmountable; call on the One who is truly invincible, and you will overcome everything that stands in your way.

    PRAYER POINT:

    Unlimited God, please help me to fight my battles and grant me victory on all sides, in Jesus’ name.

    Open Heavens HYMN 53: ‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 19 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Isaiah 43:13

    “Yea, before the day was I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who shall let it?”

    This memory verse is a bold declaration of God’s absolute sovereignty. Daddy Adeboye brings our attention to a God who is not reacting to circumstances but acting from eternity. Before situations arise, He already IS. His works cannot be reversed, blocked, or vetoed by any power—human or demonic.


    BIBLE READING: Psalm 2:1–12

    This psalm paints a dramatic picture of rebellion against God and the futility of opposing Him.

    Key Insights from Psalm 2:

    • v.1–3: Human and demonic alliances may plan rebellion, but their counsel is empty.
    • v.4: God’s response to opposition is not panic but laughter—because He is unlimited.
    • v.6–9: God’s decree stands firm; His authority overrides every throne.
    • v.10–12: Wisdom is found in submission, not resistance, to the Almighty.

    Psalm 2 reassures believers that no conspiracy can cancel divine purpose.


    God’s Questions Reveal His Nature

    “Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)

    God’s questions are not for information but for revelation. Daddy Adeboye highlights that when God asks questions, He is inviting us to confront our limited thinking and align with His limitless reality. This particular question exposes a core truth: God is unlimited.


    Understanding the Meaning of “Unlimited”

    Breaking Down the Word:

    • “Un” – means not
    • “Limited” – means restricted

    To say God is unlimited means:

    • He has no boundaries
    • He answers to no higher authority
    • He is sovereign in will and power

    Nothing restrains Him—time, matter, opposition, or numbers.


    How the Devil Tries to Impose Limits

    The enemy thrives by enforcing false ceilings:

    • Sickness that restricts movement
    • Fear that limits potential
    • Poverty that caps progress
    • Sin that chains destiny

    Just as a lame person may crawl but cannot run, Satan seeks to define how far a person can go. But Daddy Adeboye reminds us: God does not operate under embargoes.


    The I AM That I AM: God Cannot Be Hindered

    God is self-existent and self-sufficient. He does not wait for permission, resources, or approval.

    Biblical Proof:

    • Creation (Genesis 1:3): God spoke light into darkness without tools or assistance.
    • Chaos didn’t intimidate Him—His word rearranged reality.
    • Darkness fled instantly because unlimited power spoke.

    When Opposition Gathers, Heaven Laughs

    Psalm 2:1–4 shows nations and kings uniting against God. Yet heaven’s response is laughter, not alarm.

    Why God Laughs:

    • Opposition does not threaten Him
    • Numbers do not intimidate Him
    • Strategies cannot outsmart Him

    Daddy Adeboye teaches that when resistance intensifies, it often signals that God is about to display His power.


    What This Means for You as a Believer

    When the enemy stacks:

    • One problem on another
    • One delay upon another
    • One threat after another

    That is not the time to panic—it is time to laugh by faith.

    Why?

    • Your Father is unlimited
    • Your help is invincible
    • Your outcome is secure if you trust Him

    The Key That Activates God’s Unlimited Power

    Total Trust in His Name:

    • Call on Him sincerely
    • Depend on Him completely
    • Refuse intimidation

    Daddy Adeboye assures us that God’s wonders are not limited by the nature or number of oppositions.


    Warning: Never Measure God by Your Situation

    • Giants do not shrink God
    • Delays do not weaken God
    • Threats do not silence God

    Fear comes from forgetting who God is. Faith rises when we remember His unlimited nature.


    Conclusion: The Invincible One Is on Your Side

    Beloved, you have no reason to bow to fear or surrender to threats. The devil’s obstacles are loud, but God’s power is louder. Call on the One who cannot be stopped, restrained, or defeated.

    Prayer:

    “Unlimited God, I acknowledge Your sovereignty over my life. Every limitation imposed by the enemy is broken today. Work Your wonders in my situation, and let Your power silence every opposition, in Jesus’ name.”

    Action Points:

    • Identify areas where fear has limited your faith.
    • Confess Isaiah 43:13 aloud daily for one week.
    • Laugh in faith when opposition arises—heaven is backing you.

    Remember:
    When God works, no one can stop Him. Trust the Unlimited One.

    TOPIC: THE SECRET TO FRUITFULNESS

    MEMORISE:
    By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
    Hebrews 13:15

    READ: Matthew 21:18-22
    18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
    19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
    20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
    21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
    22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 18 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    Yesterday, I discussed how praise opens the door to promotions by using David’s life as an example. Do you know that Michal’s disdain for her husband’s lavish praise shut her womb? If you want to enjoy fruitfulness in every aspect of your life, never despise praise. Never see praise as unnecessary, and don’t despise it when others praise God.

    Some people see the praise and worship sessions of church services as unimportant, so they deliberately delay getting to church until praise and worship sessions are over. Praise and worship sessions are an integral part of church services; in fact, many people receive their miracles during such sessions.

    Don’t cheat yourself out of God’s blessings by despising praise and worship; they are too important to be treated casually.

    People who refuse to praise God become unfruitful like Michal.

    In today’s Bible reading, Jesus was hungry as He returned to Bethany. He saw a fig tree from afar and moved close to it, expecting to find fruit on it to satisfy His hunger. However, when He got to the tree, it had many leaves but no fruit, so He cursed the tree.

    Although it wasn’t yet time for fig trees to bear fruits, Jesus didn’t spare it; it had no fruit to satisfy the hunger of its Maker, so it withered completely.

    Today’s memory verse tells us that praise is the fruit of our lips, and we are asked to offer it to God continually.

    You have no excuse not to praise God. Elisabeth didn’t have a child after many years of marriage, yet she didn’t use it as an excuse to neglect praising God; she served Him faithfully despite her childlessness, walking in all His commandments and ordinances (Luke 1:5-7).

    Praising God is one of His commandments, and you must be blameless in keeping it. Job didn’t stop praising God in the midst of his numerous losses; he lost all he had except his wife in one day, yet he blessed the name of the Lord (Job 1:20-21).

    As a result, God turned his situation around and blessed him with double of everything he lost. If you desire to be fruitful and victorious in every area of your life, you must be committed to praising God, even in the midst of many challenges, like Jehoshaphat, who praised God even when he was surrounded by enemies (2 Chronicles 20:1-28).

    Beloved, when you offer God the fruit of your lips continually, you will experience His tremendous blessings and enjoy fruitfulness in every area of your life.

    KEY POINT:

    Praising God is a powerful secret to fruitfulness.

    Open Heavens HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 18 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Hebrews 13:15
    “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.”
    This verse frames praise as a sacrifice and a fruit. As a sacrifice, it is something valuable we offer up to God, especially when it costs us our comfort or feelings. As fruit, it is the natural, expected produce of a life connected to the Vine (Christ). To be fruitless in praise is as abnormal and cursed as the fig tree was. The command is to offer it continually—without interruption or excuse.

    BIBLE READING: Matthew 21:18-22
    This passage provides a severe spiritual object lesson. The fig tree had the appearance of fruitfulness (“leaves”) but not the substance. It failed in its primary purpose: to bear fruit for its Creator’s hunger. Jesus’ curse highlights God’s intolerance for spiritual barrenness, especially in those who project an outward form of life (religion) but lack the genuine fruit of devotion (praise, obedience). The withered tree stands as a warning against a life that is all leaves and no fruit.

    The Grave Consequence of Despising Praise

    Building on yesterday’s teaching, Daddy Adeboye introduces a sobering outcome: “Michal’s disdain for her husband’s lavish praise shut her womb.” This is a powerful typology. Despising praise—whether in ourselves or in others—leads to spiritual and physical barrenness. Michal (2 Samuel 6:23) represents those who value human dignity over divine passion, and the result is fruitlessness. The application is direct: if you want God’s blessing of fruitfulness (in family, ministry, business, health), you must never treat praise as unimportant or excessive.

    Praise is Non-Negotiable in God’s Economy

    The devotional confronts common attitudes that cheat believers:

    • The Casual Attender: Those who delay arrival to skip “unimportant” praise and worship. Daddy Adeboye corrects this sharply: these sessions are “an integral part” of service where “many people receive their miracles.” To neglect them is to “cheat yourself out of God’s blessings.”
    • The Fruitless Tree: The cursed fig tree is a metaphor for the person who has the form of godliness (church attendance, religious activity—”leaves”) but does not produce the core fruit of lips: PRAISE. Such a life, though perhaps busy, is under a curse of barrenness because it fails to satisfy the hunger of its Maker.

    The Test of Praise: Offering it Without Excuse

    The message powerfully dismantles every potential excuse for praise-less living:

    1. The Excuse of Unfulfilled Desire (Elisabeth): She was childless for decades, yet she “walked in all His commandments and ordinances.” Praise is a commandment. Her obedience in barrenness preceded her miracle. Your unmet need is not an exemption from the command to praise.
    2. The Excuse of Overwhelming Loss (Job): In the depths of catastrophic loss, Job’s first act was worship (Job 1:20). Praise was his anchor, and it positioned him for a double restoration. Your crisis is the very platform for a sacrifice of praise.
    3. The Excuse of Imminent Danger (Jehoshaphat): Faced with annihilation, he placed praisers at the front of his army (2 Chronicles 20:21-22). Praise was his warfare strategy, and it brought supernatural victory. Your overwhelming enemy is a reason to praise, not a reason to be silent.

    The Promise: Fruitfulness Through Continual Praise

    The promise is clear and cause-effect: “When you offer God the fruit of your lips continually, you will experience His tremendous blessings and enjoy fruitfulness in every area.”

    • Continual Praise keeps you connected to the Source of all life and blessing.
    • It is an act of faith that declares God’s goodness before you see the harvest, thereby activating the harvest.
    • It creates an atmosphere where God’s power moves, miracles happen, and the enemy’s plans wither (like the fig tree and the armies facing Jehoshaphat).

    How to Live a Fruitful Life of Praise

    1. Prioritize Praise: Repent of treating praise sessions as optional. Determine to be present and fully engaged in corporate praise. See it as your primary service.
    2. Praise Without Condition: Follow the examples. Praise God for who He is when your prayer isn’t answered (like Elisabeth), when you’re in pain (like Job), and when you’re in panic (like Jehoshaphat). This is the “sacrifice.”
    3. Inspect Your Leaves: Ask the Holy Spirit to show you areas where you have “leaves” (outward religious activity) but lack the “fruit of your lips.” Replace empty ritual with heartfelt boasting in God.
    4. Use Praise as Warfare: When faced with a barren situation (financial, spiritual, physical), don’t just complain—praise. Command the fig tree of lack to wither in the atmosphere of your worship.
    5. Decree Fruitfulness: As you praise, declare that you are a fruitful branch. Proclaim that every area of your life is yielding harvest, because the fruitful One (Christ) lives in you, and you are bearing the fruit of His lips.

    Prayer for a Fruitful Life of Praise:
    “Lord God, my Maker and Sustainer, forgive me for every time I have despised or neglected the sacrifice of praise. I renounce the spirit of Michal and the barrenness of the fig tree. Today, I choose to offer You the fruit of my lips continually. Like Elisabeth, I will obey Your command to praise despite unmet desires. Like Job, I will bless Your name in the midst of loss. Like Jehoshaphat, I will send praise ahead of my battles. I believe that as I offer this sacrifice, You will fill me with Your life, open every womb of fruitfulness in my life, and cause me to be a blessing that satisfies Your heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

    TOPIC: THE SECRET TO PROMOTIONS

    MEMORISE:
    For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
    Psalm 75:6-7

    READ: 2 Samuel 6:13-23
    13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
    14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
    15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

    16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
    17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
    18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
    19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
    20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

    21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
    22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
    23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

    People often describe David in different ways: the shepherd boy, the giant slayer, the worshipper, etc.

    Despite these different descriptions, almost everyone who has heard and read about David agrees that the most important thing about him is that he knew how to praise God. That was the reason God loved him so much and kept promoting him to the extent that many regard him as Israel’s greatest king. If you want to also experience constant promotion and breakthroughs, you must be addicted to praising God.

    What exactly is praise? Praise is not thanksgiving, and it is not worship. Worship is telling God that He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and anything you do to show Him that He is your Lord. Praise, however, is boasting about God, like when a boy boasts about his father.

    In Matthew 21:15-16, the chief priests and scribes, who had seen the marvellous wonders that Jesus did, refused to praise Him. However, children began to cry in the temple, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David.” Despite the fact that they didn’t praise God, the chief priests and scribes were angry because the children lavishly poured out their praise on Him.

    Don’t become too big to praise God because when you do, you will become too insignificant to be promoted by Him.

    Only a fellow with a childlike heart can truly praise God. In the Bible reading for today, when David brought the ark of God back to Israel, he praised God with careless abandon. He was not ashamed to dance before the Lord; he boasted in the Lord publicly and didn’t care about his position, reputation, or anything because he knew that he was praising the source of everything he had.

    When his wife, Michal, saw him, she felt embarrassed and scolded him when he returned home, saying, “Don’t you have shame? Can’t you behave yourself when praising God? As a king, you should know better.” David replied, “Leave me to praise my God shamelessly. He is the One who promoted me above your father and everyone in your house. He is the source and owner of my life.”

    People who praise God like David never stop enjoying promotions. You should never allow the opinions of people who have not faced the things you have faced and the victories that God has given you to stop you from praising Him exuberantly.

    Become more intentional about boasting of God’s goodness and faithfulness over your life, and He will continually lift you higher and bless you far beyond your expectations (Ephesians 3:20).

    ACTION POINT:

    Make sure you boast about God to someone today, in your office, neighbourhood, on social media, and anywhere you go.

    Numbers 25-26

    HYMN 5: BLESSED ASSURANCE

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 17 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Psalm 75:6-7
    “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”
    This scripture establishes the absolute sovereignty of God over every elevation in life. It dismantles the idea that promotion is determined by human systems, geography, or politics. It is a divine judicial act. Therefore, aligning with the Judge—the One who “setteth up”—is the wisest course. The memory verse implies that to connect with the source of promotion, one must connect with the Person of God in the manner He prescribes.

    BIBLE READING: 2 Samuel 6:13-23
    This passage is the supreme biblical portrait of unbridled, kingly praise. David, having secured the return of the Ark (God’s manifest presence), abandons all royal decorum to dance “with all his might” before the Lord. He publicly exchanges his kingly robes for a linen ephod, symbolizing that before God, he was simply a priestly worshipper. Michal’s contempt represents the voice of human dignity, pride, and cold religion that despises passionate devotion. David’s rebuttal grounds his praise in a right understanding of source: “It was before the LORD, who chose me… I will be even more undignified than this” (v.21-22).

    The Core Identity of a Promotable Life

    Daddy Adeboye cuts through the many descriptors of David to identify the central key: “the most important thing about him is that he knew how to praise God.” This was not one quality among many; it was the defining quality that made God love him and propelled his relentless promotion. The lesson is stark: if you desire a similar trajectory of divine elevation, “you must be addicted to praising God.” Addiction implies a non-negotiable, compulsive need—it becomes your primary response to all of life.

    The Distinct Power of Praise

    A crucial distinction is made: Praise is not Thanksgiving (gratitude for what He has done) or Worship (reverence for who He is in His majesty). Praise is defined as “boasting about God.”

    • The Childlike Model: Like a boy boasting about his father’s strength or achievements, praise is the joyful, unabashed proclamation of God’s acts, character, and supremacy to anyone who will listen. The children in Matthew 21 exemplify this—their praise was spontaneous, unreserved, and infuriated the religious elites who were too “mature” and calculating to offer such praise themselves.
    • The Warning: “Don’t become too big to praise God because when you do, you will become too insignificant to be promoted by Him.” Pride is the death of praise, and the death of praise is the death of divine promotion. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble—and praise is the language of humble dependence.

    The Heart Posture: Shameless Abandon

    David’s story teaches that true praise requires a “childlike heart” and “careless abandon.” It is praise that is:

    • Unashamed: It does not care for the “opinions of people.”
    • Unrestrained by Position: David did not allow his kingship to inhibit his worship. His promotion did not make him too dignified for devotion; it made him more desperately dependent.
    • Rooted in Right Perspective: David told Michal, “He is the One who promoted me… He is the source.” His praise flowed from the clear understanding that every good thing came from God. Praise acknowledges the Source, and in doing so, invites more from that Source.

    The Promise: A Life of Continual Promotion

    The devotional makes a powerful cause-and-effect promise: “People who praise God like David never stop enjoying promotions.” This is not about worldly ambition but about being “lifted higher” into God’s purposes, influence, and blessing. The mechanism is divine:

    1. Praise aligns you with the Judge (Psalm 75:7) who alone promotes.
    2. Praise is an act of faith that boasts of His goodness even before the full manifestation, creating an atmosphere for His “far beyond” blessings (Ephesians 3:20).
    3. Praise silences the Michals—the voices of criticism, religion, and pride that seek to quench your spiritual passion.

    How to Cultivate a Life of Promotion-Attracting Praise

    1. Make Praise Intentional: Daddy Adeboye says, “Become more intentional about boasting of God’s goodness.” Set aside time not just to thank God, but to boast about Him—to recount His deeds aloud, to declare His attributes.
    2. Embrace Shamelessness: In your private and corporate worship, refuse to be held back by what people might think. Offer God the fullness of your passion, whether through dance, raised hands, or shouts of joy.
    3. Praise from Your Testimony: Like David, ground your praise in your personal history with God. “He did this for me, so I will praise Him!” This makes your praise authentic and powerful.
    4. Praise in the Face of Contempt: When criticism comes (and it will), respond like David. Do not apologize for your zeal. Reaffirm that God is worthy of all praise, regardless of human opinion.
    5. Praise as a Lifestyle: Let praise be your first response to good news, your weapon in bad news, and your constant atmosphere. An addicted praiser is a perpetual candidate for promotion.

    Prayer for a Heart of Praise:
    “Almighty God, Judge of all the earth, forgive me for times I have been too prideful, too conscious of others, or too reserved in my praise. Give me a childlike heart that boasts shamelessly in You. Break every spirit of religiosity and human dignity that inhibits my abandon before You. You are my Source and my Promoter. I choose today to be addicted to praising You. As I intentionally boast of Your goodness and faithfulness, I trust You to lift me higher into Your purpose and to bless me far beyond all I can ask or think, for Your glory alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

    MEMORISE:
    And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
    Luke 15:17

    READ: Daniel 4:28-37
    28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
    29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
    30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

    31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
    32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
    33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
    34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
    35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

    36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
    37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

    To be in a constant state of confusion is to be in bondage mentally. One common form of confusion is when a student finds it difficult to understand what he or she is taught, no matter how hard he or she studies.

    Some students understand what they are taught, but when they are asked to recall what they have learnt during tests or examinations, for example, they don’t remember anything. Another form of confusion is when a fellow never knows the right decisions to make.

    In today’s Bible reading, King Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind and was driven away from the midst of people. After seven years, the Lord decided to have mercy on him, and his ‘reason’ returned to him (Daniel 4:34). The prodigal son’s senses also left him for some time, and he didn’t make any wise decision until he came back to his senses (Luke 15:11-32).

    When the enemy attacks someone with confusion, the person might begin to call what is good bad and what is bad good.

    There was a boy whose parents were professors, yet he always failed his exams and was always at the bottom of his class. His parents did everything they could to help him with his academics. They even got after-school teachers for him, but he kept failing. After a while, they brought him to me, and the Almighty God intervened.

    In the next set of examinations he wrote, the boy passed with flying colours and got the first position in his class. His teacher was shocked because, before that time, even if he had been given the answers to copy during an exam, he would have copied them wrongly and still failed.

    The teachers decided to make him sit for the examinations again, and this time, he scored even higher. For anyone reading this whose brain is in bondage, I pray that God’s fire will fall and set you free from every confusion, in Jesus’ name.

    When a demon attacks a person with confusion, the person’s life can quickly go off course. Such a person can become uncoordinated and unsuccessful as a result of demonic activities.

    I pray for you today; in any area where the enemy might have attacked you with mental fogginess and a lack of clarity in your mind, you will begin to experience jubilee. I declare that you will continually walk in light and understanding, in Jesus’ name.

    PRAYER POINT:

    Father, please give me the ability to make wise decisions at all times, in Jesus’ name.

    HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 16 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: Luke 15:17
    “And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”
    This verse marks the turning point in the parable: the prodigal son’s moment of clarity. “He came to himself” signifies the end of a season of mental and moral confusion. It was the return of sound reason, self-awareness, and spiritual sense, which allowed him to perceive reality correctly and make the life-saving decision to return home. This “return to one’s senses” is the essence of deliverance from confusion.

    BIBLE READING: Daniel 4:28-37
    This passage is the ultimate biblical case study of divinely permitted mental bondage and subsequent restoration. The mighty King Nebuchadnezzar, driven by pride, was stripped of his reason and lived like a beast for seven years. His confusion was total—a loss of identity, understanding, and humanity. His deliverance came only when “he lifted up his eyes unto heaven, and his understanding returned to him” (v.34). Restoration followed the acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty. This shows that some confusions are spiritual strongholds that require divine intervention.

    The Nature of Demonic Confusion

    Daddy Adeboye defines this state as “bondage mentally.” It is not merely a lack of intelligence, but a spiritual attack that cripples the mind’s God-given faculties. It manifests in specific, debilitating ways:

    1. The Blockade to Comprehension: The inability to understand or retain information, no matter the effort. This goes beyond natural struggle into a supernatural barrier.
    2. The Blockade to Recall: Information enters but cannot be retrieved when needed, especially under pressure (exams, critical decisions).
    3. The Blockade to Discernment: A chronic inability to make wise decisions, constantly choosing the wrong path. This is the state of calling “good bad and bad good” (Isaiah 5:20).

    The Source and Goal of the Attack

    Confusion is identified as a direct demonic attack. Its purpose is to derail destiny:

    • “When a demon attacks a person with confusion, the person’s life can quickly go off course.”The enemy uses mental fog to steer a life into uncoordinated actions, repeated failure, and frustration.
    • The testimony of the professors’ son is a classic example. His failure was irrational and persistent (“even if he had been given the answers… he would have copied them wrongly”). This points to a spiritual interference designed to sabotage his God-given potential and bring shame, despite all natural advantages and help.

    The Pathway to Deliverance and Clarity

    The devotional outlines the process through biblical and testimonial evidence:

    1. The Divine Intervention Point: As with Nebuchadnezzar and the boy, there comes a moment when “the Lord decided to have mercy.” This is often triggered by desperate prayer, seeking godly help, or a cry to God (as implied by the parents bringing the boy for prayer).
    2. The Return of Reason: Deliverance from this bondage is a restoration of the mind’s proper function. For Nebuchadnezzar, his “understanding returned.” For the boy, he suddenly could comprehend, recall, and excel astonishingly. This is the “jubilee” declared over the reader—a sudden, supernatural release and restoration.
    3. The Proof of Deliverance: True deliverance is verifiable. The boy’s teachers, in their shock, re-tested him, and he scored even higher. God’s deliverance is not a subtle shift but a manifest victory that confounds natural logic.

    The Prophetic Declarations for Freedom

    The prayers in this devotional are powerful decrees against the spirit of confusion:

    • “God’s fire will fall and set you free”: The fire of God consumes the spiritual chaff and bondage, purifying and liberating the mind.
    • “You will begin to experience jubilee”: This is the year of the Lord’s favor, a supernatural cancellation of mental debt and oppression, and the restoration of inherited potential (Isaiah 61:1-3, Leviticus 25).
    • “You will continually walk in light and understanding”: This is the promise of sustained freedom. It is not a one-time fix but a new way of life—walking in the illuminating presence of God, where clarity and wisdom become the norm (Psalm 119:130).

    How to Walk in Sustained Mental Freedom

    1. Acknowledge the Source: Recognize if your struggle with clarity is beyond natural explanation and repent of any pride or sin that may give the enemy a foothold (as with Nebuchadnezzar).
    2. Seek Divine Intervention: Like the boy’s parents, bring the matter before God in desperate prayer. Seek prayer from anointed servants of God. The “fire” falls in response to faith and petition.
    3. Feed on Light: To “walk in light,” you must consume light. Immerse yourself in God’s Word, which brings light and understanding (Psalm 119:130). Replace mental clutter with Scripture.
    4. Decree Clarity: Use the authority in Jesus’ name to command the spirit of confusion to leave your mind. Declare your alignment with God’s sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) and your capacity to understand and decide rightly.
    5. Testify of Your Restoration: As your clarity returns, acknowledge God’s work. This reinforces your freedom and encourages others in bondage.

    Prayer for Deliverance from Mental Bondage:
    “Father of Light, in whom there is no shadow of turning, I come against every demonic attack of confusion in my mind. I break the blockades to my comprehension, recall, and discernment, in the name of Jesus! Let Your fire fall now and consume every chain of mental fog and confusion. I receive my jubilee—my mind is restored, my understanding is returned. I declare that from this day, I walk continually in Your light and understanding. My thoughts are clear, my decisions are wise, and I excel in the purpose for which You created me. Thank You for the sound mind of Christ that is now mine. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”

    1 Corinthians 9:22

    READ: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23:
    19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
    20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
    21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
    22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
    23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.


    RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 15 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE TODAY

    I once went to a church to preach and was told that I couldn’t enter the auditorium with my shoes on because it was against their doctrine. I asked if there was anything else they wanted me to remove and said that I would gladly remove it. As long as I was given the opportunity to preach the gospel and win souls, nothing was too much for me to let go of.

    The pastor of the church, who is now a pastor in RCCG, was amazed.

    Soul winning matters a lot to God, and it is important that you go all out to win souls. By going all out, I mean going all out in line with God’s word.

    Unfortunately, some Christians think that engaging in sinful acts with unbelievers is a way to win souls to Christ; this is a lie from the pit of hell. You cannot walk along the path of sin under the guise of preaching the gospel and expect God to accept what you have done. You must do things God’s way.

    When Paul stated that he became all things to all men that he might save them, he meant that he sacrificed his comfort and many other things to reach out to different kinds of people. He was willing to let go of his status, influence, and comfort to tell others about Jesus.

    In 2 Corinthians 11:23-33, he shared some of the things he sacrificed and suffered for the sake of the gospel. He was beaten with rods in some cities, shipwrecked on different occasions, and stoned in other places. His ultimate goal was to bring men into God’s kingdom, and he was willing to do anything, so long as it wouldn’t be a sin, to achieve this.

    These days, some so-called evangelists dress, speak, and act like unbelievers, claiming that it is because they want to convert them. However, when you dig deeper, you will realise they are the ones who have been converted. When a light bulb is covered with dirt and cobwebs, it will no longer be bright. Likewise, sin hinders a believer’s witness for Christ and makes him or her an ineffective soul winner.

    Beloved, God has given you a mandate to win souls, and you must sacrifice comfort and many other things to fulfil this mandate. However, your obedience to God’s word is not one of the things you should sacrifice. I pray that God’s grace will help you become an effective soul winner, in Jesus’

    name.

    KEY POINT:

    Like Paul, you can be all things to all men to win souls, but don’t engage in sin to do so.

    HYMN 5: BLESSED ASSURANCE

    OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 15 FEBRUARY 2026 COMMENTARY

    MEMORISE: 1 Corinthians 9:22
    “To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
    This verse captures the heart of apostolic soul-winning: radical, self-emptying flexibility for the sake of the gospel. It is not about compromising truth, but about surrendering personal rights, preferences, and comforts to remove every unnecessary barrier between the sinner and the Saviour. The goal is singular: “that I might by all means save some.”

    BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
    This passage is Paul’s manifesto on missional living. He voluntarily relinquished his legitimate rights and freedoms (v.15, v.18) and adapted his approach to different cultures (Jews, those under the law, those without law) to win them. However, he clarifies this adaptation is done “not being without law to God but under law toward Christ” (v.21). His flexibility had a non-negotiable boundary: obedience to God’s law. The core principle is sacrificial identification without sinful imitation.

    The Soul-Winner’s Heart: Sacrificing Preference for Purpose

    Daddy Adeboye’s personal testimony with the shoes is a perfect illustration of 1 Corinthians 9:22 in action. Faced with a doctrinal requirement that was a matter of custom, not sin, his response was immediate and humble: “I would gladly remove it.” His calculation was simple: the opportunity to preach the gospel outweighed any personal convenience or pride. His question, “Is there anything else…?” reveals a heart willing to go to extreme lengths of self-denial for a single soul. This is “going all out”—a willingness to sacrifice everything except the core message and morality of the gospel.

    The Critical Boundary: Flexibility is Not Compromise

    The devotional immediately draws a vital, non-negotiable line. “Going all out” is defined as being “in line with God’s word.” It warns against a damning deception: the idea that one can engage in sin to “reach” sinners.

    • The Deceptive Path: Some think they must participate in worldly behaviors (immoral dress, ungodly speech, sinful entertainment) to be “relevant.” Daddy Adeboye labels this “a lie from the pit of hell.”
    • The Principle: “You cannot walk along the path of sin under the guise of preaching the gospel.”God will not bless a method that violates His nature. The end (soul-winning) does not justify ungodly means.
    • The Result of Compromise: When a believer becomes indistinguishable from the world in conduct, they are not converting the world; “they are the ones who have been converted”—conformed to the world (Romans 12:2). Like a “light bulb covered with dirt,” their testimony is dimmed and ineffective.

    The Apostle Paul’s Model: Suffering, Not Sinning

    Paul is presented as the true model. His “becoming all things” meant sacrificing comfort, status, and safety, not holiness. The catalog of sufferings from 2 Corinthians 11 proves his “all” meant enduring persecution, not practicing sin. His flexibility was in his approach; his fidelity was to Christ. His ultimate goal—“to bring men into God’s kingdom”—was pursued with a “willingness to do anything, so long as it wouldn’t be a sin.” This is the guiding rule.

    The Mandate and Its Cost

    The conclusion brings the mandate home: “God has given you a mandate to win souls, and you must sacrifice comfort and many other things to fulfil this mandate.” The cost is real and personal. It may mean:

    • Sacrificing time, money, and leisure.
    • Laying down cultural preferences or personal pride (like removing shoes).
    • Enduring inconvenience, rejection, or even hardship.

    However, amidst all we are called to sacrifice, there is one thing we must never offer up: “your obedience to God’s word is not one of the things you should sacrifice.” Our holiness is not a bargaining chip; it is our essential credential as Christ’s ambassadors.

    How to Be an Effective, Biblical Soul-Winner

    1. Cultivate a Heart of Radical Sacrifice: Pray for a love for souls that outweighs your love for comfort. Be prepared to let go of non-essential preferences.
    2. Know the Non-Negotiables: Be deeply rooted in God’s Word so you can clearly distinguish between a cultural preference you can set aside (e.g., style of dress for a context) and a biblical command you must keep (e.g., modesty, purity of speech).
    3. Emulate Paul’s Suffering, Not the World’s Style: Expect and accept hardship, ridicule, and rejection as part of the cost. Do not seek to avoid these by blending into sinful environments.
    4. Keep Your Light Clean: Constantly examine your life. Is there any “dirt” or “cobweb” of sin dimming your testimony? Repent and stay clean to shine brightly (Matthew 5:16).
    5. Pray for Missional Wisdom and Grace: Ask God, as the prayer concludes, for the grace to be effective—to have the wisdom to adapt rightly and the courage to never cross His line, all fueled by a genuine love for the lost.

    Prayer for an Effective, Uncompromising Witness:
    “Lord Jesus, You sacrificed all for me. Fill me with that same sacrificial love for the lost. Give me the grace to ‘become all things’—to willingly lay aside my comforts, my pride, and my rights to win souls. But Lord, guard my heart. Let me never sacrifice my obedience to Your Word on the altar of relevance. Keep my life clean and my light bright. As I go out, let me carry the cross of sacrifice, not the compromise of the world. Make me an effective soul-winner, who by all means—means that honor You—might save some, for Your glory alone. In Your name I pray, Amen.”
