RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 8 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Today’s Bible reading tells us that the flesh and the spirit are constantly at war, and the one we feed is the one that will win. To live above the flesh, a child of God must keep feeding and filling his or her spirit with the word of God.

The story of Peter in Luke 22:54-62 is very sobering. He was one of the disciples whom Jesus sent to some cities and towns to preach the gospel and who returned with joy because devils were subject to them (Luke 10:17). He was also present when Jesus fed the five thousand (Mark 6:35- 44) and raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-44). At some point, he even walked on water (Matthew 14:28-29). As long as Peter fed his spirit, the devil couldn’t touch him.

However, the moment he began to feed his ego by boasting that he would never deny Jesus (Matthew 26:34-35), he became weak spiritually. Jesus had warned Peter that the devil had targeted him to make him fall (Luke 22:31), but instead of running back to the secret place to fortify himself, he kept boasting about his inability to fall until he eventually fell.

When you don’t feed your spirit, you will become vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. You will become overly sensitive to offences and will easily get annoyed and irritated by many things.

Feeding your spirit must be a regular exercise.
In Matthew 6:34, Jesus said, ” …Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
In other words, to overcome the evil of each day, you must feed your spirit every day. You must spend time in God’s word.

Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night…” You must also spend time in prayer so that you won’t become a victim of the enemy.

Some pastors have become so familiar with the word that they don’t see the need to study their Bibles and pray as before. They can cook up a sermon in a short time, and this makes them think they are okay spiritually. If you keep starving your spirit, it is only a matter of time before you will become dry. Don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking you are okay when you are not feeding your spirit. He wants to drain you so he can conquer you.

Beloved, feed your spirit every single day by studying the word of God and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit.

Have you been feeding your spirit or your flesh?

HYMN 8: I Need Thee Every Hour

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 8 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Romans 8:9
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”
This verse establishes the fundamental identity of the believer: we are not defined by the flesh but by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Our daily victory depends on living in agreement with this spiritual reality.

BIBLE READING: Galatians 5:16-18
This passage outlines the core conflict and the divine strategy for victory:
v. 16: The Command: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
v. 17: The Conflict: The flesh and the Spirit are in constant opposition.
v. 18: The Key: Being led by the Spirit is the antidote to being under the law’s condemnation.

Winning the War Within

Pastor E.A. Adeboye delivers a critical message on spiritual maintenance, using the sobering example of Peter to illustrate a universal truth: past anointing is no guarantee against present failure. Sustained victory requires daily, intentional nourishment of our inner man.

The Principle of Spiritual Nourishment

The war between the flesh and the spirit is won not by willpower but by nourishment. The nature you feed most will dominate your life. A starving spirit will always be overpowered by a well-fed flesh.

The Case Study of Peter: From Power to Failure

• The Fed Spirit (The Season of Power):
  When Peter’s spirit was consistently fed through intimate fellowship with Christ, he operated in incredible power: preaching with authority, walking on water, and receiving divine revelation (Matthew 16:17). His spirit was strong and dominant.
• The Starved Spirit (The Path to Failure):
  Peter’s decline began when he shifted from feeding his spirit to feeding his flesh—specifically, his ego and self-confidence (Matthew 26:33-35). He neglected Jesus’s specific warning (Luke 22:31) and the instruction to “watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41). A starved spirit leads to:
  • Spiritual vulnerability to enemy attacks.
  • Oversensitivity and irritability.
  • Ultimate denial of Christ under pressure.

How to Feed Your Spirit Daily

1. Consistent Intake of God’s Word:
This is not for sermon preparation but for personal nourishment. Meditation (Joshua 1:8) is the process of digesting Scripture so it becomes part of your spiritual DNA, providing strength and wisdom for daily challenges.

2. Persistent Prayer and Fellowship:
Prayer is not a monologue but a dialogue. It is fellowship with the Holy Spirit that strengthens your inner man (Jude 1:20) and keeps you sensitive to His leading, ensuring you are led by the Spirit and not driven by the flesh.

3. Guard Against Familiarity:
The danger for pastors and long-time believers is familiarity—the feeling that you know enough. This deception leads to a neglected spiritual diet, resulting in dryness and eventual failure. Never substitute sermon preparation for personal devotion.

The Consequences of a Starved Spirit

• Spiritual Dryness: A lack of freshness and vitality in your relationship with God.
• Increased Vulnerability: Inability to withstand temptation and enemy attacks.
• Carnal Behavior: Manifesting the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) such as anger, jealousy, and strife.
• Ministry Without Power: Performing religious duties without the accompanying life-changing power of God.

The Call to Daily Discipline

Pray this:
“Holy Spirit, my Helper, I acknowledge my total dependence on You. Forgive me for every time I have neglected my spirit and fed my flesh. From this day forward, I commit to a daily diet of Your Word and prayer. Stir in me a relentless hunger for You. Lead me and empower me so that I will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, but will walk in daily victory, for Your glory. Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Schedule Daily Feeding Time: Treat your prayer and Bible study time as a non-negotiable appointment with God.
2. Meditate, Don’t Just Read: Choose a verse or short passage each day and chew on it throughout the day. Ask: What is God saying to me?
3. Fast Regularly: Deny your flesh to strengthen your spirit. This could be a meal, a form of entertainment, or social media.
4. Accountability: Share your commitment with a spiritual partner who can encourage you and hold you accountable.

Remember: You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit. Live like it. Feed the right nature. Today’s evil requires today’s spiritual meal. Do not let yesterday’s manna suffice for today’s battle.

“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16). This is both a command and a promise. Obey it and claim it.

OPEN HEAVEN 7 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: LEVELS OF BREAKTHROUGHS

MEMORISE:
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalms 37:4

READ: Ruth 3:1-18:
1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnowethbarley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
8 And it came to pass at midnight*, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst* not young men, whether poor or rich.

11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she toldher all that the man had done to her.
17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 7 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

There are different levels of breakthroughs. In Genesis 18:9-14, Abraham had a breakthrough, but it was a breakthrough that took 25 years to manifest. In Genesis 41:38-44, Joseph had a breakthrough, but that breakthrough took several years to manifest the way God showed him several years earlier in a dream. Moses also had a breakthrough that had been promised over a long period of time before its manifestation (Exodus 3:1-15). He had known long before then that God had chosen him to deliver the Israelites (Acts 7:22-25), but the manifestation took years.

There is, however, another level of breakthrough like the one recorded in 1 Samuel 16:11-13, where a shepherd boy was anointed as the king of Israel without prior notice. In Esther 2:15-18, a slave girl became a queen in a foreign land; that is also a new level of breakthrough.

When you read the book of Ruth, you will see certain lessons that will help you experience a new level of breakthrough. After experiencing sadness and sorrow, Ruth decided to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, from Moab – her own country – to Bethlehem. Moab was a nation of idol worshippers, but she decided to forsake the idols she had grown up with to worship the God of Israel. She must have also left many childhood friends and close relatives behind – she practically left her old life to start a new one. You cannot keep holding on to the past if you want to experience a new level of breakthrough. You must let go of your past life and old habits to receive the new things God has for you.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19

Ruth found her breakthrough in Bethlehem because she served and followed the good advice she often received from her mother-in-law. She was a hardworking woman, and her diligence made Boaz notice her among the other workers on his field and show her favour (Ruth 2:1-16). In today’s Bible reading, you will also see that it was Ruth’s obedience to Naomi’s advice that led to her becoming Boaz’s wife.

Beloved, if you want to experience new breakthroughs in your life, you must obey the word of God completely. You must also seek and follow godly counsel while ensuring that you are diligent in all you do.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to obey your instructions on the things I must do to experience ne w breakthroughs in my life, in Jesus’ name.

Matthew 14-17

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 7 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Psalm 37:4
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
This verse is the key to unlocking divine breakthroughs. It promises that when God Himself becomes the source of our deepest joy and satisfaction, He sovereignly places His desires within us and orchestrates events to bring them to pass in His perfect timing.

BIBLE READING: Ruth 3:1-18
This passage details the pivotal moment Ruth’s breakthrough was secured through:

• Obedience: She heeded Naomi’s wise and strategic counsel exactly (v. 5-6).
• Initiative: She positioned herself at the threshing floor, a place of harvest and judgment (v. 6-7).
• Virtue: She conducted herself with humility and integrity, earning Boaz’s praise (v. 9-11).
• Patience: She waited for Boaz to fulfill his legal and righteous role as kinsman-redeemer (v. 18).

Positioning for a New Level of Breakthrough

Pastor E.A. Adeboye outlines the pathway to experiencing unprecedented divine acceleration. While some breakthroughs are cultivated over time (Abraham, Joseph, Moses), others are sudden and sovereign (David, Esther). Ruth’s story provides a masterclass in the attitudes and actions that position us for the latter.

The Two Timelines of Breakthrough

• Cultivated Breakthroughs: These are promises that require a process of character refinement, testing, and patience. They are not delayed but are being prepared in the unseen realm for the appointed time (Genesis 18:14, Hebrews 6:15).
• Sudden Breakthroughs: These are sovereign acts of God where He bypasses natural timelines to elevate a person in a moment for His divine purpose (1 Samuel 16:11-13). They often come to those who, like Ruth, have unknowingly been prepared through faithfulness.

The Ruth Protocol for Sudden Breakthrough

Ruth’s story provides a blueprint for positioning oneself for a new level of favor.

1. Make a decisive break with the past.
Ruth left Moab—her nation, her gods, and her old identity (Ruth 1:16-17). You cannot receive new wine in an old wineskin (Matthew 9:17). Breakthrough requires forsaking idolatrous attachments, sinful habits, and soulish dependencies that belong to your “Moab.”

2. Align yourself with God’s covenant people.
Ruth’s declaration, “Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God,” was her covenant alignment (Ruth 1:16). Breakthrough is often found in “Bethlehem” (the house of bread)—the place of God’s presence and His people. Commit to a local assembly and spiritual covering.

3. Embrace diligence and excellence.
Ruth didn’t wait for her breakthrough; she worked for it with all her might in a foreign field (Ruth 2:2, 7, 17). Diligence makes you visible to your “Boaz” (divine connection) and attracts favor (Proverbs 22:29). Be excellent where you are with what you have.

4. Heed godly counsel.
Ruth’s obedience to Naomi’s unconventional strategy was the direct catalyst for her marital breakthrough (Ruth 3:5-6). Humility to submit to spiritual authority and wise counsel is a non-negotiable for acceleration (Proverbs 11:14, 15:22).

5. Walk in virtue and integrity.
Ruth was known as a “virtuous woman” (Ruth 3:11). Her integrity in a vulnerable situation caused Boaz to act honorably on her behalf. Your character must be able to sustain your breakthrough without corruption.

Activating the Principle

Pray this:
“Father, I delight myself in You today. You are my exceeding joy. I break every attachment to my spiritual ‘Moab’—every idol, sin, and weight that holds me back. I align myself with Your will and Your people. Grant me the diligence of Ruth, the humility to heed godly counsel, and the integrity to sustain the sudden breakthrough You have ordained for me. According to Your word, give me the desires You have placed in my heart, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your Moab: Write down one thing God is asking you to leave behind to embrace your new season.
2. Commit to Diligence: Choose one area of your life (work, study, ministry) where you will commit to exceptional excellence this week.
3. Seek Counsel: Identify a spiritual mentor or leader and ask for prayerful advice on a current situation.
4. Declare God’s Word: Confess Isaiah 43:18-19 daily: “I forget the former things; I do not dwell on the past. God is doing a new thing in my life now!”

Remember: Your sudden breakthrough is not about luck; it is about divine positioning. God is ready to do a new thing. Let go of the old, embrace the process of preparation, and position yourself in obedience. Your Bethlehem is waiting.

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19). Your new thing is springing forth.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: CORPORATE PRAYERS

MEMORISE:
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:3

READ: Acts 6:1-7:

1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghostand wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly;and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 5 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

In Acts 4:21-30, after the apostles were imprisoned and threatened, they returned to their own company, and with one accord, they lifted up their voices to God. The first result of their prayers was that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to preach the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31).

Another result of their corporate prayers was the grace and power to preach the good news of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, as we see in Acts 4:33:
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Beloved, do you want great boldness to do God’s will? Do you want to experience great power and grace? Then, you must live in unity with other believers. Whenever there is peace and unity among believers, God’s power is unlimited.

In Acts 12:1-5, Herod began to persecute and kill Christians. He first arrested James, the brother of John, and because there was no resistance from the believers, he killed him. Afterwards, he arrested Peter and imprisoned him, planning to kill him after Easter. However, the church gathered together to pray continuously for Peter and did not stop until he was miraculously delivered from Herod (Acts 12:6-11).
We must also live in unity with other believers if we want to experience exponential increase.

The devil understands the power of unity in the church; therefore, he constantly tries to do all he can to keep us in disunity by making us fight one another and gossip about ourselves.

In today’s Bible reading, when the devil tried to cause disunity in the early church, the apostles quickly appointed faithful men to take care of the people who were complaining.

Immediately the apostles solved the problem that threatened to divide the church, the word of God increased, and the number of disciples multiplied. Churches that are not operating in unity will not see the increase of God’s word and power among them until they deal with the things causing disunity.

Beloved, do not neglect the times set aside for corporate prayers in your local assembly. The church is a family, and a popular saying goes: the family that prays together stays together.

This is true because the Bible says that one shall chase a thousand, but two shall chase tens of thousands.

KEY POINT

The church that prays together stays together.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Matthew 10-11

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 5 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

The Indispensable Power of Unity

Daddy E.A. Adeboye emphasizes a non-negotiable principle for spiritual power and exponential growth: divine unity. The early church’s explosive impact was not a product of individual brilliance but of corporate harmony. Where there is unity, God commands His blessing and power (Psalm 133:1, 3).

The Biblical Evidence for Unified Power

• The Power for Boldness (Acts 4:23-31): When threatened, the church did not scatter in fear; they gathered in prayer. Their unified cry to God resulted in a fresh, corporate infilling of the Holy Spirit that turned timid disciples into fearless witnesses.
• The Power for Deliverance (Acts 12:5-11): Faced with Herod’s murderous intent, the church did not resign to fate. They engaged in “continuous and fervent prayer” (Greek: ektenōs) as one body. Their corporate intercession unleashed angelic activity that shattered Peter’s chains and nullified Herod’s plot.
• The Power for Exponential Growth (Acts 6:1-7): When a threat of disunity arose from a complaint, the apostles acted swiftly to address it. The moment the issue was resolved and unity was restored, the result was immediate: “the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly” (v. 7).

Why Unity Releases God’s Power

1. It Pleases God: Unity reflects the nature of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Spirit) and answers the prayer of Jesus (John 17:21). God delights in commanding His blessing where brethren dwell in unity.
2. It neutralizes the Devil’s Strategy: The devil’s primary tactic against the church is division (gossip, strife, offense, and competition). A divided church is a powerless church, as seen when Herod killed James and faced no resistance (Acts 12:2). Unity is our spiritual defense.
3. It Amplifies Faith and Prayer: There is a multiplicative effect in corporate faith. As Deuteronomy 32:30 states, one can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight. Unified prayer creates a spiritual synergy that heaven cannot ignore.

How to Cultivate and Maintain Power-Bestowing Unity

1. Prioritize Corporate Prayer:
The prayer meeting is the powerhouse of the church. Do not neglect it (Hebrews 10:25). It is in the place of unified prayer, as seen in Acts 4 and 12, that strategies are formed, burdens are shared, and heaven’s power is downloaded corporately.

2. Address Division Swiftly:
Follow the Acts 6 model. Do not allow complaints, grievances, or misunderstandings to fester. Address them with wisdom, fairness, and humility. Protect the unity of the Spirit at all costs (Ephesians 4:3).

3. Focus on the Common Enemy, Not Each Other:
The early church understood that their fight was not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Unity is maintained when we focus on our common mission and adversary, not on our differences.

4. Submit to Leadership and Structure:
Godly order is a hedge against chaos. The appointment of deacons in Acts 6 to handle a practical need preserved the unity of the apostles and the entire body, facilitating growth.

Warning: The Cost of Disunity
A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). Disunity quenches the Spirit, grieves the Lord, and renders the church vulnerable, powerless, and ineffective in spiritual warfare. It is the quickest way to see God’s power and grace diminish in a local assembly.

Conclusion: Your Role in the Corporate Anointing

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, I thank You for the family of believers. Forgive me for any action or attitude that has fostered disunity. Help me to be a peacemaker and a bridge-builder in my local assembly. As we gather in unity, fill us afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Release upon us great power for witness and great grace for living, so that the world may see Jesus in us, amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Commit to Corporate Prayer: Faithfully attend your church’s prayer meetings. See it as your spiritual duty and privilege.
2. Be a Unifier: Refuse to gossip or listen to gossip. Instead, speak words that edify and promote peace (Ephesians 4:29).
3. Resolve Conflict Biblically: If you have an issue with a brother or sister, go to them directly and privately in a spirit of love and reconciliation (Matthew 18:15).
4. Pray for Your Leaders: Intercede for the unity and wisdom of your pastors and church leadership regularly.

Remember: The level of God’s manifest power in your life is often tied to your connection to the corporate body. You will never fully experience “great power” and “great grace” in isolation. It is upon the “them all.”

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1). This is where God commands the blessing.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 4 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

When God wants to set the stage for new things, He often starts by giving new miracles and blessings. When He wanted to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He started by using Moses’ rod to perform several miracles that no one had ever seen (Exodus 4:17).

When Jesus came to establish a new covenant, He performed so many new miracles that people said they had never seen such things happen before (Mark 2:12).

Likewise, when it was time for the apostles to take the gospel beyond Jerusalem into Samaria, Judea, and other parts of the world, Peter’s shadow began to heal the sick (Acts 5:15). Personally, I have noticed that whenever God wants to take us to a new level in RCCG, He begins by introducing new miracles that have never been experienced in our midst.

Years ago, the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International had a convention in Port Harcourt, a city in Southern Nigeria and invited me to speak on the topic, ‘New Anointing’. As I spoke, I gave some examples of what God, in His infinite mercies, had done through me. When it was time to go home, the crowd began to surge forward such that I had to be guided into my car.

A woman who had a sister that had gone completely mad decided that she would touch my car if she could not touch me. So, she took out a handkerchief, dropped it on the car I was in, and took it back before we drove off.

On getting home, she asked six hefty men to hold her sister down. Waving her handkerchief, she said, “I have the solution in my hand.” She then took the handkerchief and laid it on her sister, and she became normal again.

When God wants to move you to a new level, He usually starts with new miracles. Hence, you must be on the lookout for such miracles in your life so you can understand your seasons.

Beyond looking out for such miracles, you can also ask for them. In Acts 4:29-30, the apostles asked God to facilitate the spread of the gospel by stretching forth His mighty hand to heal the sick and perform signs and wonders. The result of this prayer was tremendous growth and increase in the church (Acts 4:31-33).

Beloved, ask God for new miracles in your life today. By doing this, you will initiate growth into a new season of your life.

ACTION POINT

Ask God to start a new thing in your life today by giving you new miracles.

HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 4 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

God’s Pattern for New Beginnings

Pastor E.A. Adeboye reveals a critical principle in God’s dealings with His people: the launchpad for any new season, level, or assignment is often a unprecedented miracle. God uses new wonders to shatter limitations, authenticate His messengers, and announce the commencement of a new thing.

The Biblical Precedent for New Miracles

• The Exodus (Exodus 4:17): God commissioned Moses for a new deliverance ministry with a new miracle—turning a rod into a serpent. This sign was the first in a series of unprecedented wonders (the plagues, the Red Sea) that confirmed a new era of liberation.
• The New Covenant (Mark 2:12): Jesus inaugurated a new dispensation of grace not just with teaching, but with miracles that astounded people: healing paralytics, forgiving sins publicly, and calming storms. These were new wonders that authenticated His unique authority.
• The Apostolic Age (Acts 5:15): As the gospel was poised to expand beyond its Jewish beginnings, God released a new dimension of power: healing through Peter’s shadow. This was a unique miracle that signaled the new, pervasive power of the Holy Spirit available to all believers.

The Purpose of New Miracles

1. To Authenticate a New Season: A new miracle is often God’s “green light,” signaling the end of one season and the start of another. It is His way of saying, “I am doing something now that I have not done before; pay attention.”
2. To Break Limitations: New miracles shatter boxes of unbelief and tradition. They force us to expand our theology and expect more from God, just as the handkerchief miracle in Port Harcourt broke limitations of how God’s power could be transmitted.
3. To Facilitate Growth and Expansion: As seen in Acts 4, miracles are catalytic. They draw attention, create awe, and open doors for the gospel, leading to explosive growth in the kingdom, just as it did in the early church and in the RCCG.

How to Position Yourself for New Miracles

1. Discern Your Season:
Be spiritually sensitive. Are you at a crossroads? Has a chapter closed? Is there a stirring for more? Understand that God’s new thing often starts with a divine disturbance of the status quo. “Shall ye not know it?” (Isaiah 43:19). Be on the lookout.

2. Ask Specifically for Them:
Do not be passive. The apostles did not assume miracles would happen; they asked for them boldly (Acts 4:29-30). Follow their example. Pray with precision: “Lord, stretch forth Your hand to perform new signs and wonders in my life, family, and ministry to initiate the new season You have promised.”

3. Step Out in Faith and Obedience:
God’s instruction to Moses was to use the rod. Peter had to walk the streets for his shadow to heal. The woman with the handkerchief had to act on her faith. New miracles often require a corresponding step of faith that aligns with God’s instruction for the new season.

4. Celebrate and Testify:
When the new miracle happens, acknowledge it. Like the man healed in Mark 2, go out and publicize what God has done. Your testimony of God’s new work is a weapon that builds faith in others and confirms the new season.

Warning: Do Not Dwell on Past Miracles

While we remember God’s past faithfulness, we must not build a shrine there. The Israelites in the wilderness longed for Egypt’s food instead of expecting God’s new provision of manna. To receive the new, we must let go of the old and avoid limiting God to what He has done before.

Conclusion: Initiate Your New Season

Pray this:
“Father, I thank You for every miracle in my past. But today, I ask for a new thing! Stretch forth Your hand like never before. Perform new signs and wonders in my life that will shatter every limitation and announce my transition into the new season You have prepared for me. Let Your power be manifested in unprecedented ways, and make me a catalyst for growth in Your kingdom, in Jesus’ mighty name.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify the Limitation: What is the “wilderness” or “desert” in your life that needs a “new thing”?
2. Scriptural Foundation: Meditate on Isaiah 43:19 and Acts 4:29-30. Let these verses build your faith for the new.
3. Pray Boldly: For the next 7 days, include a specific prayer for new miracles in your personal prayer time.
4. Obey Promptings: Be ready to act on any unusual instruction the Holy Spirit gives you, as it may be the key to unlocking the new miracle.

Remember: God is not finished. The greatest miracles are not behind you; they are before you. He wants to do something new in your life today. Ask for it, believe for it, and get ready for it.

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth…” (Isaiah 43:19). Your new season is springing forth.

TOPIC: TWO KINDS OF WONDERS

MEMORISE:
To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalms 136:4

READ: Exodus 12:21-30:

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27 That ye shall say, It isthe sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

29And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORDsmote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 3 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

There are two kinds of wonders – the good and the bad. In 2 Kings 5:1-27, there was a man called Naaman, who was the captain of the host of the king of Syria. He was a leper, and Elisha asked him to go and wash in River Jordan so he could be healed. When he did, his skin became like that of a newborn baby – this is an example of a good wonder.

After this, Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, ran after Naaman and fraudulently collected the gifts Elisha rejected. When Elisha discovered this, he cursed Gehazi saying, “I command that the leprosy of Naaman will cleave to you.” Immediately, Gehazi was covered with leprosy and became as white as snow – now, this is an example of a bad wonder.

When God manifests Himself, He performs good wonders in the lives of His children. He is gentle to His children, but He is also a consuming fire to those who refuse His Lordship. In today’s Bible reading, the children of Israel enjoyed the good wonder of preservation and escape from the angel of death.

However, at the same time, the Egyptians experienced God’s judgement. At the Red Sea, while the Israelites saw the mighty wonder of God as the sea parted for them to walk through it, the Egyptians were drowned by that same sea (Exodus 14:21-28).

God is a God of wonders, but the type of wonders a fellow will experience from Him will depend on whether he or she is for Him or against Him.

Beloved, are you on the Lord’s side (Exodus 32:26) or in the devil’s camp? It is not only unbelievers who are not on the Lord’s side; carnal Christians are also not on His side. Paul said in Romans 8:7 that the carnal mind is enmity against God because it is not subject to God’s law and can never be.

A carnal Christian wants to do things his or her way but not in God’s way. Such Christians are moved by what they see and not by God’s word. Anyone who lives like them will not enjoy God’s good wonder.

If you are not yet born again and you want God to make your life an example of a good wonder to others, come to His side today and surrender all to Jesus. If you are already God’s child, refuse to be a carnal Christian and totally surrender your mind to be constantly renewed by His word.

REFLECTION

Check your life; are you preparing to experience God’s good or bad wonder?

Matthew 5-6

HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 3 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Psalm 136:4
“To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
This verse attributes all wonders to God alone, highlighting that His miraculous power is inseparable from His eternal mercy. The nature of the wonder one experiences is determined by their relationship with that mercy.

BIBLE READING: Exodus 12:21-30
This passage provides the ultimate contrast of divine wonders:
v. 27-28: The good wonder for Israel: The Passover—God’s judgment passes over those sheltered by the blood.
v. 29-30: The bad wonder for Egypt: The same night brings a devastating plague of death to every firstborn, a direct act of God’s judgment.

The Two Realms of Divine Wonders

Pastor E.A. Adeboye presents a crucial theological truth: God’s power is absolute and manifests in two distinct ways. The same God who performs wonders of mercy for His children executes wonders of judgment against rebellion. Your position in Christ determines your portion from Christ.

The Nature of God’s Wonders

• Good Wonders (Manifestations of Mercy):
  These are miracles that bring healing, deliverance, provision, and salvation. They are gentle and restorative for those in covenant with God.
  • Naaman’s Healing (2 Kings 5:14): An act of God’s grace that restored a man’s health and led him to faith.
  • The Passover (Exodus 12:13): A protective miracle where God’s judgment passed over those covered by the blood, a direct result of His mercy.
• Bad Wonders (Manifestations of Judgment):
  These are displays of God’s holy power that execute justice, punish sin, and expose rebellion. They reveal God as a consuming fire.
  • Gehazi’s Leprosy (2 Kings 5:27): A judicial miracle that served as swift punishment for greed, deceit, and dishonoring God’s name.
  • The Death of the Firstborn (Exodus 12:29): A wonders of judgment that broke the power of a tyrannical Pharaoh and demonstrated God’s supreme authority.

The Determining Factor: Your Spiritual Position

The same God who spared Israel also struck Egypt. The difference was not in God’s nature but in the application of the blood.

• On the Lord’s Side: This means to be in a covenant relationship with God through the blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 5:7). It entails:
  • Salvation: Being born again and under the covering of Christ’s sacrifice.
  • Submission: A heart that is subject to God’s law and authority (Romans 8:7). It is the opposite of a carnal mind.
  • Surrender: Doing things God’s way, not our own. Naaman had to surrender his pride to dip in the Jordan; Israel had to apply the blood.
• In the Devil’s Camp: This includes not only unbelievers but also carnal Christians. Carnality is characterized by:
  • A Self-Centered Mind: Living according to the flesh, moved by sight and not by faith in God’s Word (2 Corinthians 5:7).
  • An Unsubmissive Will: Refusing God’s way for one’s own, as Gehazi did when he pursued personal gain against the prophet’s clear stance.
  • A Secular Worldview: Treating the sacred with contempt and using God’s ministry for selfish ends.

How to Ensure a Life of Good Wonders

For the Unbeliever:
Come to the Lord’s side today. Repent of your sins and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Let His blood mark you for salvation, so God’s judgments pass over you and you begin to experience His miraculous favor.

For the Believer:
Examine yourself. Reject carnality. A carnal Christian cannot please God (Romans 8:8) and risks experiencing the bad wonders of divine discipline (Hebrews 12:6). Totally surrender your mind to be renewed by God’s Word daily (Romans 12:2).

Conclusion: Choose Your Side, Choose Your Wonder

Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I choose to be on Your side today. I renounce every work of the flesh and the carnality that wars against my soul. I surrender my will to Yours. Let the blood of Jesus mark me for Your mercy. Make my life a testament of Your good wonders, for Your glory alone. Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Self-Examination: Honestly ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any area of carnality, greed, or rebellion in your life (like Gehazi).
2. Apply the Blood: Daily plead the blood of Jesus over your life and family for protection and mercy.
3. Renew Your Mind: Commit to a daily intake of God’s Word to transform your thinking from carnality to spirituality.
4. Preach the Divide: Share this message that God is both Savior and Judge, so that others may choose the side of good wonders.

Remember: God’s power will be manifested in your life. The only question is whether it will be a wonder of blessing or a wonder of judgment. Your position in Christ determines your portion from Christ.

“To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (Psalm 136:4). Stay in the place where you experience His enduring mercy.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: YOU MUST HATE AVERAGE

MEMORISE:

Brethren, I count not my self to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Philippians 3:13

READ: Deuteronomy 28:8-13:

8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 2 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

If you hate something, you will do everything to avoid it. When I was in secondary school, I and two of my friends were the best in mathematics. However, even though we scored above 90%, our mathematics teacher would always tell us that we didn’t do well because we didn’t score 100%. 

At last, one day, we scored 100%, and we said, “Let’s go and see him to hear what he will say now.” We got to him, rejoicing, but our joy was cut short when he said, “Your mates are in the university, solving advanced maths, and you are rejoicing over 100% in elementary maths.” His comment made me hate anything less than the absolute best. This is why I get disturbed when I see people celebrating mediocrity.

Years ago, when secondary school results in Nigeria were presented as Grade 1, 2,3, and Pass, the principal of a particular college in Lagos was rejoicing because, for the first time in the school’s history, one of the students got a Grade 3 result. However, another college principal wept because, for the first time, a student went as low as having a Grade 3 result.

As seen in today’s Bible reading, God’s will for His children is that they will be above ONLY.

Hence, no Christian should ever settle for average. If you think you’ve attained your greatest height, you must know that it is someone else’ starting point. 

In Ezekiel 47:1-12, God showed Ezekiel a man with a measuring line in his hand, and for every thousand cubits he measured, the water level rose. It started from the ankle to the knee and then to the waist before it became a mighty river. Some people reach the ankle level of success and think they have arrived; they don’t understand that there are greater levels of success waiting ahead of them.

In 2 Kings 2:1-15, while the sons of the prophets were content with being average, Elisha pressed in for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. The sons of the prophet knew it was time for Elijah to be taken away, and they even knew the day it would happen. However, they were satisfied with having revelation without power. Elisha, on the other hand, didn’t settle for average, and the Lord used him so mightily that we can never forget his name. People who settle for average never stand out.

Beloved, make up your mind to be the absolute best that God has destined you to be. Don’t settle for average.

KEY POINT

You are destined to be above ONLY. Never settle for average.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Matthew 1-4

HYMN 59: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 2 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Deuteronomy 28:13a
“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail…”
This verse is a divine decree of positioning. It unequivocally states God’s will for His children: to lead, not to follow; to be at the forefront, not the rear; to set the standard, not to meet it. It is a promise that excludes mediocrity by its very definition.

BIBLE READING: Deuteronomy 28:1-13
This passage presents a clear covenant contract: obedience triggers a cascade of blessings that result in being established as “the head” and “above only” (v. 13).

Conversely, disobedience leads to being “the tail” and “beneath” (v. 15). God’s perfect will is for our elevation, not our degradation.

The Call to Reject Mediocrity

Pastor E.A. Adeboye uses powerful anecdotes and biblical narratives to challenge a mindset that has infected many believers: the acceptance and even celebration of average results. This devotional is a spiritual injection to awaken a passion for God’s best.

The Peril of Low Expectations

• A Matter of Perspective: The contrasting stories of the two school principals serve as a masterclass in vision. One saw a Grade 3 as a historic achievement, setting a low bar for future generations. The other saw it as a tragic failure, upholding a high standard that inspires excellence. Your perspective on what constitutes success will determine your destiny.
• God’s Nature is Excellence: The Creator of the universe, who declared His work “good,” is not a God of mediocrity. To celebrate average when He has ordained excellence is to misunderstand His character and dishonor the potential He has placed within you.

Biblical Blueprints for Excellence

• The Progressive River (Ezekiel 47:1-5): This vision is a metaphor for the Christian journey.
  • Ankle-Deep: A place of initial salvation and comfort, but with minimal impact.
  • Knee-Deep: A deeper level of commitment, yet one where you still stand on your own understanding.
  • Waist-Deep: A place of significant depth where your own strength and control are challenged.
  • A River to Swim In: The place of total surrender, where you are carried by the current of the Holy Spirit. This is the dimension of supernatural influence, abundance, and power God desires for every believer.
• The Pursuit of Elisha (2 Kings 2:1-15):
  • The Sons of the Prophets: They symbolize the average believer—informed (“we know”) but passive, content with revelation without transformation. They observed God’s move from a safe distance.
  • The Passion of Elisha: He symbolizes the excellent believer—relentless (“I will not leave thee”), focused, and audacious in his request (“double portion”). He was not content with the anointing on his master; he wanted a generational upgrade for himself. His pursuit was rewarded with a mantle that parted rivers and defined a era.

The Foundation of Godly Excellence

This pursuit is not for self-glorification. It is rooted in:

• Obedience: Excellence is a fruit of covenant obedience to God’s commands (Deuteronomy 28:1).
• Empowerment: It is achieved through the power of the Holy Spirit, not mere human striving (Zechariah 4:6).
• Purpose: The ultimate goal is to glorify God. When we are the “head,” we become a clearer reflection of His majesty to the world (Matthew 5:16).

How to Cultivate a Life of Excellence

Embrace a Holy Dissatisfaction:
Allow the Holy Spirit to disrupt your comfort zone. Like Daddy Adeboye’s teacher, let a voice in your spirit say, “You can do more. This is not your final destination.”

Measure by God’s Standard, Not Man’s:
Stop comparing yourself to others. The world celebrates Grade 3; heaven weeps over it. Measure your life against the plumb line of God’s Word and His promises for you.

Pursue Relentlessly:
Be like Elisha. Cling to the source of your blessing (God) through persistent prayer, unwavering faith, and studied obedience. Refuse to be left behind.

Warning: The Seduction of the Average

The company of the average is comfortable and non-threatening. It requires no extra prayer, no fasting, no faith, and no risk. However, it is also the place where destinies are aborted, miracles are missed, and legacies are lost. To accept average is to choose to be the tail when God has called you to be the head.

Conclusion: Step Into Your Place of Headship

Pray this:
“Lord God Almighty, burn out every trace of complacency and mediocrity from my spirit. Ignite in me a holy fire to pursue Your absolute best. Give me the tenacity of Elisha and the excellence of Daniel. By Your grace, position me as the head and not the tail, so that my life will be a undeniable testament to Your greatness, in Jesus’ mighty name.”

Action Steps:

1. Conduct an Audit: Honestly assess areas of your life (finances, spiritual discipline, career, relationships) where you have settled for “good enough.”
2. Declare God’s Word: Proclaim Deuteronomy 28:13 over your life daily. Let it rewrite the narrative of your destiny.
3. Study Excellence: Read and meditate on the lives of Joseph, Daniel, and Elisha. Note the choices that set them apart.
4. Pray for Upgrade: Dedicate time to fast and pray specifically for a divine shift from average to exceptional in your assigned field.

Remember: Your heavenly Father is not holding back. He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). His will is for you to be above only. Do not settle for wading in ankle-deep water when He is calling you into a river you cannot cross.

“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…” (Deuteronomy 28:13). Let this be your reality.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

God loves believers, and He loves unbelievers too. In today’s Bible reading, we see that He wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as God can send angels and other people to you, He also wants to be able to send you as He sent Phillip to the Ethiopian eunuch. He wants you to be the answer to someone’s questions and the solution to people’s problems. He is looking for people to send like Peter, whom He sent to Cornelius’ house to extend the good news to the Gentiles (Acts 10). 

When He sends you, I hope you won’t refuse the assignment, especially if the person He’s sending you to is considered to be a chronic sinner.

Nobody is too rotten to be saved. I have always said it; if I were God, I wouldn’t have saved Adeboye. I was really rotten and had blasphemed God several times before I gave my life to Christ.

However, look at me now; God’s grace is enabling me to lead millions of people to Himself.

Paul was a terrorist who persecuted Christians. I’m sure that if God had sent some people to preach to him, they would have refused because he could have had them arrested immediately. It took a visitation from Jesus to bring him to his knees, but after that, he needed Christians to guide him. First, the Lord told Ananias about him (Acts 9:1-17). I am sure that if God had told some other Christians about Saul at that time, they would have shut down His voice, thinking it was satan trying to push them into trouble. However, Ananias was a true disciple who knew God’s voice and was ready to obey Him. He didn’t discriminate against Paul despite his sinful past.

Barnabas also didn’t discriminate against Paul. While other believers were scared of associating with Paul, Barnabas went to Tarsus to find him and bring him to Antioch, where they taught other people (Acts 11:25-26). The man who had formerly thrown believers in prison began to win souls for Christ.

Beloved, God can save anyone; no one is too far gone to be saved. He seeks believers like Ananias, whom He can send to those who have lived rough and reckless lives. He seeks disciples like Barnabas, who will look for such people and guide them in doing God’s assignment for their lives. Don’t discriminate against anyone; rather, help them get to know Christ more.

KEY POINT

No one is too far gone to be saved by Christ.

Zechariah 11-14

HYMN 59: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: 1 Timothy 2:3-4 (KJV) (Implied from the text)
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
This verse, though not explicitly stated as the MEMORISE, is the foundational truth of the devotional. It declares God’s universal heart of love and His desire for every single person, regardless of their past or present state, to experience salvation and the liberating truth of the gospel.

BIBLE READING: Acts 9:1-17; Acts 10:1-48; Acts 11:25-26 (Synthesized from the text)
These passages collectively paint a picture of God’s relentless pursuit of sinners and His use of obedient believers as His messengers. They show:

• Acts 9: God’s direct intervention in the life of Saul (Paul), the chief persecutor.
• Acts 10: God sending Peter to Cornelius, a Gentile considered unclean by Jewish standards.
• Acts 11: Barnabas seeking out Paul and integrating him into the work of ministry, showcasing post-salvation discipleship.

The Expansive Love of God

The devotional begins by establishing the boundless nature of God’s love. It is not exclusive to believers but extends to all humanity. This love is not passive; it is active and seeking, desiring that “all men be saved.” This foundational truth dismantles any notion of spiritual elitism and calls every believer to participate in God’s redemptive mission.

The Believer as God’s Delivery System

A key interpretation is that God most often chooses to work through people. Just as He sent an angel to Cornelius and Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch, He wants to send you. The believer is positioned to be “the answer to someone’s questions and the solution to people’s problems.” This reframes evangelism from a duty to a privilege—being the chosen courier of God’s grace to a specific person at a specific time.

The Challenge of the “Chronic Sinner”

The message tackles a common obstacle to evangelism: our prejudice. We often pre-qualify who is “ready” or “worthy” of the gospel. The devotional sharply rebukes this attitude by pointing to the transformation of two “rotten” individuals: Daddy Adeboye himself and the Apostle Paul. Their testimonies prove that “Nobody is too rotten to be saved.” The grace that saved us is the same grace that can save anyone, no matter how far gone they may seem.

The Anatomy of Effective Witness: The Ananias and Barnabas Model

The devotional provides a two-part model for bringing the “untouchable” to Christ:

1. The Ananias Model (Immediate Obedience): Ananias represents the believer who hears God’s voice clearly and obeys immediately, even when the instruction is frightening and illogical. He overcame his fear and prejudice because his obedience to God was greater than his fear of man. He was the first to welcome Paul into the family of God.
2. The Barnabas Model (Post-Salvation Discipleship): Barnabas represents the believer who comes alongside new converts, especially those with a difficult past. He believed in Paul when others were afraid and actively sought him out to mentor him and give him a platform for ministry. He fought against the discrimination within the church.

The Call to Non-Discriminatory Love

The core application is a call to eradicate discrimination from our hearts and our ministries. We are not called to be judges of who is salvageable; we are called to be conduits of salvation to all. Our role is not to analyze the sin but to introduce the Savior.

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, thank You for Your incredible love that sought and saved me, even in my sin. Forgive me for the times I have judged others as ‘too far gone’ for Your grace. Break my heart for what breaks Yours. Give me the courageous obedience of Ananias to go to whoever You send me to, and the encouraging spirit of Barnabas to disciple those whom others might reject. Lord, use me as an answer and a solution to someone searching for truth. Help me to see every person through Your eyes of love and redemption. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your Prejudice: Honestly ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any person or group of people you have unconsciously written off as beyond reach.
2. Pray for the “Pauls”: Begin to pray specifically for the “chief sinners” in your sphere of influence—those who are openly hostile or deeply entangled in sin.
3. Be Ready for Divine Appointments: Live with the expectancy that God will send you to someone. Be quick to obey when you feel that nudge to speak to someone, call someone, or share your testimony.
4. Embrace a “Barnabas” Role: Look for new believers or struggling Christians in your church. intentionally encourage them and help them find their place in the body of Christ.
5. Share Your Testimony: Never underestimate the power of your story. Like Daddy Adeboye, be open about how “rotten” you were so that others can see the transformative power of Christ.

Remember: The church is not a museum for saints; it is a hospital for sinners. You are not the judge at the door; you are a fellow patient pointing others to the Great Physician. God’s specialty is taking the most broken vessels and making them into His most powerful instruments. Your next divine assignment might be to reach the very person you think least deserves it.

OPEN HEAVEN 29 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL GROWTH

MEMORISE:
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Galatians 4:1

READ: 1 Peter 2:1-3:

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 29 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

A Christian who refuses to grow spiritually will be controlled by what he or she should be in control of. Such a Christian will beg to have things that should ordinarily be in his or her possession.

Until you grow spiritually, there is a limit to what God can trust you with. Hence, you must take personal responsibility for your spiritual growth. Don’t depend on your pastors to do what you should do by yourself.

Any Christian who does not grow spiritually will be ill prepared to face the storms of life. He or she will be unable to take on responsibilities in God’s kingdom and will be at the mercy of every satanic attack.

When giving out important assignments, God will always bypass a spiritual baby for a more mature believer. This is why it is important for you to pay the price for spiritual growth. You need to consistently feed on the word of God and spend time in His presence.

Many years ago, when nobody lived at the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City), I would leave my house in Mushin, a suburb of Lagos every Tuesday morning and stay at the camp until Thursday morning. Apart from me, the only other people at the camp were the carpenters who were involved in the ongoing construction work. 

However, they would stop as soon as it was dark and retire for the day, leaving me alone to seek God’s face with all my heart all night. One night – I remember that night like it was yesterday – I prayed: “Father, I surrender all. It is only You that I want. I don’t want to be an ordinary pastor. I am not asking for gold, clothes, or fame. I just want You to empower me to do this work. If You’re not going to do it, please take me away.”

That day, God answered my prayers, and there was a tremor in the camp that was felt as far as in Ijebu Ode, a town that is over 60 kilometres away. When you desire to grow spiritually, God will visit you in mighty ways that will shake your world for good.

Beloved, what is hindering your spiritual growth? Have you become too busy chasing after worldly pleasures? Have the cares of this life choked your love for God? Strive to continually grow spiritually so that you will not be tossed to and fro by the devil’s tricks (Ephesians 4:14).

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to deal with everything hindering me from growing spiritually, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Zechariah 6-10

HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Galatians 4:1 (KJV)
“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;”
This verse powerfully illustrates the consequence of spiritual immaturity. An heir may legally own everything, but if they remain a “child” in understanding and character, they cannot access or manage their inheritance. They live like a servant, begging for what is rightfully theirs. This is the state of a believer who refuses to grow.

BIBLE READING: 1 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV)
“1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”
This passage outlines the prerequisites and the means for spiritual growth. Growth requires first laying aside sinful habits that stunt development. Then, it requires a desperate, craving desire (“as newborn babes”) for the pure, unadulterated Word of God, which is the essential nutrient for spiritual maturation.

The Tragedy of the Stagnant Believer

Daddy Adeboye’s message is a sobering wake-up call against spiritual complacency. A Christian who refuses to grow remains a spiritual infant, controlled by the very things they should dominate—sin, circumstances, emotions, and demonic attacks. They live in poverty of spirit, power, and authority, “begging” for victories, breakthroughs, and peace that are already their inheritance in Christ.

The Limit of God’s Trust

The devotional introduces a crucial principle: God’s level of trust in us is directly proportional to our spiritual maturity. He will not entrust significant kingdom assignments, spiritual authority, or great resources to a believer who has not demonstrated the character and wisdom to handle them. Immature believers are bypassed for promotions, both in the spiritual realm and often in the natural, because they are unprepared for the responsibility and the attacks that come with greater influence.

The Personal Responsibility for Growth

A central theme is the individual’s responsibility. Spiritual growth is not the pastor’s job; it is the believer’s duty. Pastors are given to equip the saints, but the saint must actively engage in the process of being equipped (Ephesians 4:11-12). This involves two non-negotiable activities:

1. Consistently feeding on the Word of God: This is the “sincere milk” and later the “solid food” (1 Corinthians 3:2) that builds spiritual muscle and discernment.
2. Spending time in His presence: This is where character is refined, intimacy is built, and power is received.

The Price of Power: A Personal Testimony

Daddy Adeboye’s testimony from the early days of the Redemption Camp is the ultimate illustration of paying the price for growth. His sacrifice—leaving family, staying alone in a barren land, praying all night—was driven by a desperate cry for more of God, not more of God’s things. His prayer, “I surrender all… I just want You to empower me,” is the model prayer for spiritual growth. It is a prayer of total surrender and single-minded desire for God’s power alone. The tangible result—a supernatural tremor—shows that God responds to such desperate hunger with tangible manifestations of His presence and power.

The Hindrances to Growth

The devotional concludes by prompting self-examination. Spiritual growth is hindered by:

• Worldly Pleasures: Chasing temporal satisfaction over eternal substance.
• The Cares of This Life: Allowing anxieties and daily burdens to choke out time and passion for God (Matthew 13:22).
  These things leave a believer unstable and vulnerable, “tossed to and fro” by every new doctrine, temptation, or trial.

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, I repent for my spiritual complacency. Forgive me for living like a servant when I am an heir to Your kingdom. I lay aside every weight and sin that hinders my growth. Today, I take responsibility for my spiritual development. I crave the pure milk of Your Word like a newborn baby. I hunger for Your presence above all else. I surrender all to You. I don’t just want Your blessings; I want You. Empower me for Your service. Shake my world with Your presence and launch me into a new dimension of spiritual maturity and authority. I refuse to be a child any longer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Conduct a Growth Audit: Honestly assess your spiritual life. Are you still struggling with the same sins, fears, and failures as years ago? This indicates stalled growth.
2. Create a Feeding Schedule: Commit to a daily, non-negotiable time of Bible reading and prayer. Start with 15 minutes and gradually increase.
3. Identify and Remove a Hindrance: What is one worldly pleasure or care that is choking your spiritual life? Take concrete steps to reduce or eliminate it.
4. Pray the Prayer of Surrender: Model your prayers after Daddy Adeboye’s. Tell God you want more of Him, not just more from Him.
5. Seek Accountability: Share your growth goals with a mature believer and ask them to check on your progress.

Remember: Your spiritual maturity is your personal responsibility. God has provided everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), but you must diligently add to your faith. Don’t live beneath your privilege as an heir. Pay the price in the secret place so you can walk in power in the public place. Your growth determines your governance. Choose to grow today.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: HIS WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS

MEMORISE:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9

READ: 2 Kings 6:1-7:

1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.

5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 28 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

God’s ways are beyond natural human comprehension. He can choose to make a donkey talk (Numbers 22:28), provide resources in unusual places (Matthew 17:27), and use a sworn enemy to arrange for a fellow’s promotion at work like He used the Egyptians to sponsor the Israelites’ journey in the wilderness (Exodus 12:36).

As a believer, don’t think you can understand all of God’s ways – all He requires from you is your faith and obedience. When you ask Him for something, you should do whatever He tells you to do and believe that He is more than able to meet your requests.

People who think that God is too slow and that they can handle things by themselves often get into trouble. Abraham learnt this the hard way when Sarah convinced him to help God by having a child through her servant (Genesis 16:2).

That single decision is the cause of some of the major problems in the world today. If God has said He will do something, He will do it to perfection; you cannot do it better than Him.

In today’s Bible reading, the sons of the prophets wanted to build a bigger accommodation, and they came to tell Elisha. They decided to go beside the Jordan River to get wood for the construction, and while the others were excited to start the project, one of them asked Elisha to go with them.

Beloved, it is good to make plans and embark on projects. However, if you don’t involve God in all you do, your ‘welllaid-out plans’ can crumble. This was what happened to the sons of the prophets. While they were happily cutting down wood and gathering it for their building project, they suddenly had a setback.

One of them had borrowed an axe, and while cutting wood with it, the axe-head fell into the water. Apart from negatively affecting the completion timeline of the project, this setback also meant that they had incurred some debt because the axe was borrowed. Thank God one of them had earlier involved Elisha. He simply asked them where the axe-head fell, cut down a stick, and threw it into the water.

What happened next cannot be explained by science; the stick sank, and the heavy axe head swam.

God’s ways are not man’s ways, and only a fool will always try to explain how God works.

When it comes to relating with God, faith and obedience is all He expects of you because His ways are past finding out.

ACTION POINT

You cannot always understand God’s ways. All you need to do is believe in Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Zechariah 1-5

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 28 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
This scripture establishes the infinite gap between divine and human intelligence. God’s methods, timing, and strategies are fundamentally different from and superior to our own. It calls for a posture of humility and trust, acknowledging that we cannot always comprehend His plans but can always trust His character.

BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 6:1-7 (KJV)
This passage narrates a seemingly minor miracle with profound implications. The loss of the axe head was a significant financial and practical setback. Elisha’s solution—throwing a stick into the water to make the iron axe head float—defied all natural laws (density, gravity). It was an utterly illogical act that produced a supernatural result, demonstrating that God’s solutions are not bound by human logic or scientific possibility.

The Incomprehensibility of God’s Methods

Daddy Adeboye’s message centers on a foundational truth: God operates in ways that often confound human reasoning. The examples given—a talking donkey, money in a fish’s mouth, and provision from enemies—are all biblical accounts where God used the unexpected, unusual, and impossible to achieve His purposes. This teaches us that we should never limit God to working within the confines of our understanding or preferred methods.

The Peril of “Helping” God

The devotional uses Abraham and Sarah’s mistake with Hagar (Genesis 16) as a grave warning against impatience and self-reliance. Their attempt to “help” God fulfill His promise resulted in Ishmael, whose lineage became a perpetual source of conflict. The interpretation is stark: “You cannot do it better than Him.” When we grow impatient with God’s timing and resort to human schemes, we often create problems far greater than the one we were trying to solve.

The Necessity of Involving God

The story of the sons of the prophets provides the positive model. They had a good plan (to build), but one among them had the wisdom to involve Elisha, the man of God. This proved to be their salvation when crisis struck. The application is clear: “It is good to make plans… however, if you don’t involve God in all you do, your ‘well-laid-out plans’ can crumble.” Involving God is not a mere formality; it is the essential factor that determines whether a project succeeds or fails when unforeseen setbacks occur.

The Supernatural in the Setback

The axe head falling into the water represents the unexpected crises that threaten to derail our lives and dreams—a financial loss, a health diagnosis, a relational breakdown. The miracle was not in preventing the problem but in providing a supernatural solution in the midst of it. God’s way was not to stop the axe head from falling, but to reverse the laws of nature to recover it. This shows that God is not just the God of prevention; He is the God of redemption and restoration in the middle of our mess.

The Response: Faith and Obedience

Since God’s ways are “past finding out,” our primary responsibility is not to understand, but to trust and obey. The stick Elisha threw made no logical sense, but obedience to the prophetic instruction released the miracle. God does not require us to comprehend His instructions before we obey them. He requires faith that believes He knows what He is doing, even when it seems foolish to the natural mind (1 Corinthians 1:25).

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that Your thoughts and ways are infinitely higher than mine. Forgive me for the times I have limited You to my understanding and tried to ‘help’ You with my own flawed strategies. I surrender my plans, my timing, and my methods to You. I invite You into every project and decision in my life. Give me the faith to trust You even when I don’t understand Your ways. Help me to obey Your instructions promptly and completely, without questioning or rationalizing. When setbacks come, remind me that You are the God of the supernatural turnaround. I choose to rely not on my own understanding, but to trust in You with all my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Inventory Your Plans: List the major plans or projects you are currently working on (career, family, financial, ministry).
2. Formally Invite God: Pray over each one, specifically inviting God’s guidance and involvement. Say, “Lord, this is Your project, not mine. Lead me.”
3. Identify Your “Axe Head”: What is a current setback or loss that seems impossible to recover from? Bring it to God in prayer.
4. Listen for Unusual Instructions: Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s promptings. He may lead you to do something that seems illogical (like throwing a stick in the water). Be prepared to obey in faith.
5. Renounce Self-Reliance: Make a conscious decision to reject impatience and the urge to force solutions. Commit to waiting on God’s perfect timing and method.

Remember: Your inability to understand God’s process does not negate His power. Your role is not to figure it out, but to faith it out. The God who made iron swim is more than able to solve your problem in a way that will leave no doubt about His power and glory. Trust His strange ways. Your miracle may be hidden in an instruction that makes no sense to your natural mind.
