OPEN HEAVEN 5 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: HEARING FROM GOD II

MEMORISE:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:27

READ: John 10:1-16:
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 5 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Today’s memory verse tells us that anyone who is a sheep in God’s pasture should hear His voice frequently. When you hear from God, He will guide you in all your ways.

Years ago, during a meeting, some ministers of God had a disagreement on who to vote for between the two major presidential candidates in Nigeria. I was also in the meeting, and I said, “Brethren, has God told you that either of them will be president? Did He tell you if there will even be an election and if the result will be allowed to stand? Has He told you which of the two He wants?”

I told them, “As for me, He hasn’t told me yet. I’ve been asking Him who will be president, but He hasn’t answered, which means I have probably been asking the wrong question. I’m going to change my question to Will there be an election, and will the result be accepted?”

Shortly after that meeting, we were having a pastors conference in RCCG, and I told those present that God finally answered me concerning the elections. He said that one of the candidates would win but would not be allowed to rule, and this was exactly what happened. Asking God about situations and waiting on Him to speak will help a Christian to live above confusion.

One morning, I asked God which route to take to work to avoid being held up in traffic. He said, “You are not leaving the house today.” I began to quote the Bible to the One who wrote it, “Lord, You said that he who will not work should not eat. Your word also says, ‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not mean men!’ He insisted, so I said, “Okay. If they fire me, I’m sure You will provide another job.”

At that time, I had not listened to the radio, so I didn’t know that a military coup had happened. A short while later, there was chaos in a school in front of my house as parents rushed to pick up their children. That was when I put on my radio and heard what had happened. God’s voice shielded me from the pandemonium that broke out on the streets.

Beloved, train your spirit to hear God’s voice by spending time in His presence studying His word, worshipping, and waiting on Him. His voice will instruct you in the way you should go and protect you from evil.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please open my ears to hear You clearly always.

John 9-10

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 5 NOVEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: John 10:27 (KJV)
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
This verse establishes both a defining characteristic and a sacred responsibility of every believer. To be a true sheep of Christ’s flock is to be attuned to the Shepherd’s voice. This hearing is not a rare gift for a select few but the birthright of all who belong to Him, leading to intimate knowledge and guided obedience.

BIBLE READING: John 10:1-16
This passage is Jesus’s foundational teaching on His role as the Good Shepherd:

• v. 1-5: The sheep recognize and follow the voice of their true shepherd, fleeing from the voice of strangers. This signifies discernment born of relationship.
• v. 7-10: Jesus is the door of the sheep; those who enter through Him find salvation and pasture. His voice leads to life and provision.
• v. 11-16: As the Good Shepherd, He lays down His life for the sheep. This sacrificial love is the context in which His voice is spoken and trusted.

The Shepherd’s Voice: Your Guide and Shield in a Confusing World

Pastor E.A. Adeboye moves from the atmosphere of hearing God to the practice of it. Using powerful personal testimonies, he demonstrates that hearing God’s voice is not an abstract concept but a practical, life-saving, and confusion-dispelling reality for every believer. It is the essential tool for navigation and protection in an uncertain world.

1. The Identity of a True Sheep

Hearing is the Evidence:
The foundational truth from John 10:27 is that hearing God’s voice is the primary identifier of being one of His sheep. It is not a sign of elite spirituality but of genuine salvation. A believer who never hears from God should examine the state of their relationship with the Shepherd.

Intimacy Precedes Instruction:
The verse links “hear my voice” with “I know them.” This is not mere intellectual knowledge but intimate, relational knowledge. God speaks to those He is in relationship with. The depth of what we hear is often connected to the depth of our fellowship with Him.

2. The Practice of Divine Inquiry

Asking the Right Questions:
Daddy Adeboye’s testimony about the election is a masterclass in learning to inquire of God. It shows that sometimes God’s silence is not a refusal to answer, but an invitation to refine our questions. Spiritual maturity involves being led by the Holy Spirit even in how we pray and what we ask.

Living Above Confusion:
In a world filled with conflicting voices, opinions, and prophecies, the only sure anchor is a personal word from God. When we learn to wait for His specific directive, we are lifted above the fray of public debate and human analysis into the peace of divine certainty.

3. The Life-Saving Power of Obedience

Obedience Over Human Logic:
The testimony of the coup is perhaps the most powerful point. God’s instruction (“You are not leaving the house today”) directly contradicted human wisdom and even scriptural principles about diligence. This teaches that a specific, present-word command from God can temporarily supersede a general biblical principle for our protection.

The Shield of His Voice:
God’s primary purpose in speaking is often to guide and protect His people. His voice is a shield (Proverbs 30:5). What we perceive as an inconvenience or a strange command may be God’s strategy to hide us from chaos, danger, or calamity that we know nothing about.

How to Train Your Spirit to Hear God

1. Cultivate a Daily Posture of Listening:
Move beyond monologue prayers. Dedicate time in your quiet moments to simply be still and listen. Ask, “Lord, what are you saying to me today?” and wait expectantly for impressions, scriptures, or thoughts that align with His character.

2. Saturate Yourself with the Written Word (The Logos):
The primary way God speaks is through His Bible. The more you know the written Word (Logos), the more easily you will recognize the tone, character, and content of His spoken word (Rhema). His voice will never contradict His Scripture.

3. Practice Immediate, Simple Obedience:
Start by obeying the small, simple promptings: to call someone, to give an encouragement, to turn left instead of right. As you prove faithful in small things, God will trust you with greater revelations and assignments (Luke 16:10).

Warning: The Peril of a Deaf Spirit
A life that does not practice hearing from God is vulnerable to every wind of doctrine, public opinion, and demonic deception. It is a life forced to rely on human understanding, which is severely limited and often leads to unnecessary trouble and confusion.

Conclusion: Your Lifeline to Safety and Direction

Pray this:
“Good Shepherd, I thank You that I am Your sheep. Train my ears to be sensitive to Your voice above all the noise of this world. Give me the humility to ask the right questions and the courage to obey even when Your instruction defies human logic. Let Your voice be my daily guide, my shield from evil, and my source of perfect peace, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

• Start a ‘God Said’ Journal: Begin recording the specific instructions, promises, and scriptures you believe God is speaking to you. Review it regularly to build your faith and track His faithfulness.
• Obedience Check: Is there a simple, recent prompting from the Holy Spirit that you have yet to obey? Do it today. This act of obedience will sharpen your spiritual hearing.
• Study the Shepherds: Read John 10 and Psalm 23 meditatively. Ask the Holy Spirit to make the reality of Jesus as your Shepherd a tangible experience in your life.

Remember: Your ability to hear and obey the Shepherd’s voice is your greatest asset in the Christian life. It is your guidance system, your protection plan, and your key to a life free from the world’s confusion.

“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21). This is your inheritance in Christ.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: HEARING FROM GOD I

MEMORISE:
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 3:16-17

READ: Genesis 1:2-3:
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 4 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

The first time God spoke in the Bible was in today’s Bible reading. To understand what it takes for God to speak to you, you must study that passage of the Scripture carefully. Before He spoke, the Spirit of God moved over the face of the earth. This means that God speaks whenever the Holy Spirit is in operation.

If you want to hear from God, the Holy Spirit must be in operation around you. Once you know how to stir Him in you, you will constantly hear from Him. I hear from God frequently when I am preaching because usually, before I step on any altar to minister, the congregation would have spent some time worshipping God.

Then, when I step on the altar, I would continue to worship and eulogise God. When I am done, and it is time to preach, the Spirit of God would have saturated the entire place, and He would begin to speak to me.

Ministers who do not hear from God will struggle because hearing from God makes ministering easy. God will tell you what and what not to do so that you won’t waste your time and resources.

For example, if I want to host a crusade in a particular location, I would ask Him, “Daddy, should I go?” If He says, “No,” then I know that going there would be a waste of time. Some ministers go to minister in different places without hearing from God first. However, when they suffer all kinds of hardships and unnecessary persecutions, they will claim that they are suffering for Jesus.

Some will say that since the Bible instructs believers to preach the gospel to all nations, they will build a church in a particular location, even though they did not ask God about it and He did not specifically instruct them to.

At the end of the day, they might end up lacking the required funds to run the church and they will begin to look for people they can manipulate into giving them money.

Beloved, hearing from God and obeying His voice will always keep you at the centre of His plan and provision. Even when things get difficult, as long as you are operating in His will, He will carry you through. Consistently create an atmosphere for Him to operate in your life, and He will always lead you into higher realms of His grace and glory.

KEY POINT

God will always speak to you when you know how to stir His Spirit in you.

John 7-8

HYMN 33: GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH!

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 4 NOVEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Matthew 3:16-17 (KJV)
“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
This moment at the Jordan River provides the perfect blueprint for divine communication: the Son submits in obedience, the Holy Spirit descends in manifestation, and the Father speaks with affirmation. It demonstrates that God’s voice is often heard most clearly when the Holy Spirit is actively present and moving.

BIBLE READING: Genesis 1:2-3
This foundational passage reveals the pattern for all divine activity and communication:

• v. 2: The earth was without form, void, and in darkness. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the chaotic waters. This signifies the preparatory work of the Holy Spirit.
• v. 3: Then, and only then, God said, “Let there be light.” The spoken word of creation follows the movement of the Spirit. Order and light are released through the collaboration of the Spirit and the Word.

Creating the Atmosphere for God’s Voice

Pastor E.A. Adeboye moves from the doctrine of the Holy Spirit to the critical practice of hearing from God. Using the creation account as his foundation, he teaches that divine communication is not random but occurs within a specific spiritual environment that we can learn to cultivate.

1. The Divine Pattern: Spirit First, Then Voice

The Primacy of the Spirit’s Movement:
The order in Genesis 1:2-3 is non-negotiable. Before God spoke light into existence, the Holy Spirit was already actively hovering over the darkness. This establishes a timeless principle: the Holy Spirit is the divine Agent who creates the necessary atmosphere for God’s word to be spoken, received, and effectively executed.

The Triune Collaboration:
This pattern is mirrored in the ministry of Jesus. The Holy Spirit descends upon Him, and then the Father speaks. This shows that the Trinity works in harmony: the Spirit prepares the way, the Son is the Word made flesh, and the Father speaks with authority. To hear the Father, we must welcome the ministry of the Spirit.

2. The Practical Key: Stirring the Atmosphere

Intentional Cultivation:
Daddy Adeboye provides a transparent look into his own ministry practice. He doesn’t merely hope to hear from God; he intentionally creates an environment where the Holy Spirit is “saturated.” This is done through sustained, heartfelt worship and praise. Worship is not just a prelude; it is the spiritual catalyst that stirs the Holy Spirit into greater operation.

The Consequence of a Silent Heaven:
The devotional issues a sobering warning to ministers and believers alike. Operating without a current word from God leads to struggle, wasted resources, and unnecessary hardship. It is possible to be doing a “good thing” (like preaching the gospel) but in the wrong place, at the wrong time, or in the wrong way because it was not initiated by the Spirit.

3. The Blessings of a Spirit-Saturated Life

Divine Guidance and Efficiency:
When we hear from God, ministry and life become efficient. God directs our paths, telling us both what to do and what to avoid. This divine navigation saves us from the fatigue and frustration of fruitless labor and ensures that our efforts are aligned with His productive will.

Provision in the Center of His Will:
Daddy Adeboye makes a crucial connection between obedience and provision. When you are in the center of God’s plan, you are also in the center of His supply. The difficulties that arise within His will are not signs of His absence but opportunities for His miraculous sustenance and deliverance.

How to Cultivate an Atmosphere for God’s Voice

1. Prioritize Worship, Not Just Requests:
Transform your prayer time from a monologue of requests into a dialogue that begins with adoration. Spend significant time worshiping God for who He is, not just for what He can do. This “moves” the Holy Spirit in your midst.

2. Ask Before You Act:
Institutionalize the habit of seeking God’s specific direction for every major endeavor. Before launching a new ministry, making a significant purchase, or relocating, ask, “Daddy, should I go?” Wait for His peace or His clear directive through His Word and His Spirit.

3. Value His ‘No’ as a Form of Guidance:
Recognize that God’s prohibition is as much a manifestation of His voice and His care as His permission. A “no” from God is not a rejection; it is a protection and a redirection that saves you from wasted time and resources.

Warning: The Deception of Presumption
Assuming God’s blessing on our plans without consulting Him is a dangerous form of pride. It can lead to manipulative practices, financial strain, and claiming “persecution for Christ” for hardships that were actually avoidable consequences of disobedience.

Conclusion: Living in the Flow of Divine Communication

Pray this:
“Holy Spirit, I invite You to move over the chaos and areas of darkness in my life. Create in me an atmosphere of worship and surrender where the Father’s voice can be clearly heard. Deliver me from presumption and guide me into all truth. Let my life and ministry be a direct result of Your divine instruction, so I may always walk in the center of Your will and provision, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

• Worship First: For the next 7 days, begin your prayer time with 10-15 minutes of pure worship, focusing only on God’s attributes, before you present any requests.
• Seek Confirmation: When you believe you have heard a directive from God, write it down and seek confirmation through the Scriptures and the counsel of mature, spiritual leaders.
• Study the Pattern: Read through the Book of Acts, noting how the early church consistently relied on the Holy Spirit’s direction for their ministry decisions (e.g., Acts 8:29, 10:19-20, 13:2).

Remember: A life that consistently hears from God is a life that is consciously cultivated. By prioritizing the presence and movement of the Holy Spirit, you ensure that heaven is never silent over your affairs.

“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21). This is your portion in the regime of the Spirit.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: THE CURRENT DISPENSATION

MEMORISE:
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:14

READ: John 14:16-18:
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Yesterday, I mentioned that during the dispensation of the Father in the Old Testament, people got immediate judgment for their sins.

The word ‘dispensation’ in this context means regime. The regime of God the Father on the earth was from the beginning to the day of Pentecost. The regime of the Son will be for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-4). There will be absolute peace during that period because the Prince of Peace will be in charge. Right now, however, we are in the regime of the Holy Spirit, which started on the day of Pentecost and is still on to date.

To prosper in a particular regime, you must understand and obey the people in charge. The One who is currently in charge of the affairs of men is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, to succeed in all things, you must know the Holy Spirit and be intimate with Him.

Being intimate with the Holy Spirit does not mean that you are downgrading or ignoring the Son or the Father. In today’s memory verse, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will glorify Him and show us things concerning Him. Once you become intimate with the Holy Spirit, you will praise God the Father the way you should, glorify the Son the right way, pray the right way, and study God’s word the right way. When you become a friend of the Holy Spirit, you have automatically become a friend of the Trinity.

You can become intimate with the Holy Spirit by speaking His language often and asking Him to fill you. It is important to note that being able to perform miracles is not evidence that a fellow is intimate with the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:16-17 says that the flesh and the spirit are always in constant battle against each other. A fellow has become intimate with the Holy Spirit when he or she no longer walks in the flesh but according to the dictates of the Spirit. The people around such a fellow will testify to it when they start seeing the fruit of the Spirit at work in him or her.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:16-20 that you will know a tree by the kind of fruit it produces. If the Holy Spirit is indeed your friend, you will produce good fruits that confirm your intimacy with Him.

Beloved, cultivate an intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit; He will protect and preserve you. He will also ensure that you prosper in all that you do.

REFLECTION

Are you intimate with the Holy Spirit?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

John 5-6

HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 3 NOVEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: John 16:14 (KJV)
“He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
This verse reveals the core mission of the Holy Spirit: to magnify and reveal Jesus Christ. His ministry is not self-promoting but Christ-centric, ensuring that our focus remains on the redemptive work of the Son, thereby bringing glory to the Father.

BIBLE READING: John 14:16-18
This passage contains Jesus’s pivotal promise of the Holy Spirit’s permanent indwelling:

• v. 16: The Holy Spirit is another Comforter (of the same kind as Jesus), promised to be with and in believers forever.
• v. 17: He is the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, known intimately by those who belong to Christ.
• v. 18: The coming of the Holy Spirit means we are never left as spiritual orphans; God’s presence remains with us.

Thriving in the Present Regime: The Necessity of the Holy Spirit

Pastor E.A. Adeboye builds upon the foundation of the Trinity to deliver a crucial and timely message: understanding the current divine administration. He teaches that spiritual success is not generic; it is specific to recognizing and aligning with the Person God has placed in charge of the present age—the Holy Spirit.

1. Understanding the Divine Regimes

The Principle of Spiritual Governance:
Daddy Adeboye introduces the biblical concept of dispensations or regimes—distinct periods in God’s redemptive plan where He relates to humanity in specific ways. To thrive in any season, one must understand and submit to the governing authority.

The Three Key Regimes:

• The Regime of the Father (Old Testament – Pentecost): Characterized by law, prophecy, and immediate, often severe, judgment to establish the holiness and sovereignty of God.
• The Regime of the Son (The Millennial Reign): A future thousand-year period where Jesus Christ will rule physically on earth, establishing perfect justice and peace (Revelation 20:4).
• The Regime of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost – Present): The current age where the Holy Spirit is the primary divine Agent on earth, convicting the world, indwelling believers, and empowering the Church for global witness.

2. The Imperative of Intimacy With the Holy Spirit

The Key to Present Success:
In this current regime, prosperity in the spiritual realm and success in fulfilling God’s purpose are directly tied to one’s relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the “One in charge,” and intimacy with Him is not a spiritual luxury but a strategic necessity.

Intimacy Glorifies the Trinity:
Daddy Adeboye masterfully addresses a common concern: that focusing on the Holy Spirit might diminish the Father or Son. He clarifies, using John 16:14, that the exact opposite is true. The Holy Spirit’s primary role is to glorify Jesus. Therefore, a deeper relationship with the Spirit leads to a more accurate worship of the Father and a more profound love for the Son.

3. The Evidence of Genuine Intimacy

Beyond the Spectacular:
The devotional makes a critical distinction that separates biblical truth from common error. The evidence of intimacy is not primarily found in spectacular gifts like miracles or speaking in tongues. While these are valid gifts, they can operate through gifting alone, not necessarily through deep relationship (Matthew 7:22-23).

The Supremacy of the Fruit:
The true, undeniable evidence of intimacy with the Holy Spirit is the consistent production of His character—the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Intimacy is measured by Christlikeness. When the flesh is crucified and the Spirit governs a person’s reactions, attitudes, and choices, that is the proof of a genuine friendship with Him.

How to Cultivate Intimacy With the Holy Spirit

1. Speak His Language of Prayer and Praise:
Engage consistently in spiritual communication, particularly in prayer and worship in the Spirit (Jude 1:20, 1 Corinthians 14:2). This builds a direct line of communion and sensitivity to His promptings.

2. Yield to His Lordship Daily:
Intimacy is built on surrender. Consciously submit your will, plans, and desires to Him each day. Ask, “Holy Spirit, what do you want to do in and through me today?” This is walking according to the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).

3. Prioritize the Fruit Over the Gifts:
While desiring spiritual gifts is good (1 Corinthians 14:1), make it your primary pursuit to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. Pray for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to be manifest in your life.

Warning: The Danger of a Gifts-Only Focus
A life that pursues the power of the Spirit without the character of the Spirit is unstable and can lead to pride, error, and a fall (1 Corinthians 13:1-2). Gifts without fruit provide a false sense of security and do not confirm intimacy.

Conclusion: Your Key to Preservation and Prosperity

Pray this:
“Holy Spirit, my Divine Helper and Friend, I acknowledge You as the Governor of this age. I invite You into a deeper place of intimacy with me. Teach me to know You, to hear Your voice, and to yield to Your leading. Produce in me the beautiful fruit of Your character, that I may glorify the Lord Jesus in all I do, and in so doing, prosper in the assignments You have for me.”

Action Steps:

• Conduct a Fruit Audit: Honestly assess your life against Galatians 5:22-23. Which fruit is evident? Which is lacking? Bring these areas to the Holy Spirit in prayer.
• Cultivate Sensitivity: Before making significant decisions, pause and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. Journal what you sense He is saying and confirm it with Scripture.
• Study His Ministry: Read the Gospel of John, chapters 14-16, and the book of Acts, noting every activity and promise related to the Holy Spirit.

Remember: In the regime of the Holy Spirit, your protection, preservation, and true prosperity are found in one place: a submitted, intimate, and obedient friendship with Him.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14). Your sonship is proven by your submission to His leadership.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 2 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Many people find it difficult to understand the concept of the Trinity. The Bible says in 1 John 5:7 that the Father, the Word – Jesus according to John 1:14 – and the Holy Ghost are one. They are one, yet they are three distinct entities.

I’ll explain it this way: I am one man called Adeboye, but I can express myself differently in different situations. For example, if my wife breaks a ceramic plate, I will be gentle Adeboye; I will speak gently to her and ensure that she is fine. However, if it is my son, I could be furious Adeboye because I might be angry with him for being careless. I am the same person, but l’ll show different sides of myself depending on what is needed in different situations.

God is one. However, He chooses to express Himself in three different forms. Water can be in liquid, gas (steam), or solid form (ice) based on changes in its temperature. In the same vein, God is one God, and He chooses to express Himself as the Holy Spirit when needed, the Word when needed, and the Father when needed. One expression is not less God than the other, just as ice or steam is not less water than its liquid form.

God the Father is the side of God that is fatherly. However, just like Adeboye the father, which I described in the first paragraph, He can be strict in this form. During the dispensation of the Father in the Old Testament, people got immediate judgment for their sins.

God the Son, who is Jesus Christ, came in the flesh, so as Hebrews 4:15 says, He has feelings just like us, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is the most relatable to us as He has gone through the temptations we are currently going through, and He advocates for us with the Father (1 John 2:1).

God the Spirit is the creative side of God. He is the One who lives in you to do the things that were otherwise impossible to you (Romans 8:11, Philippians 4:13, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 John 2:27, John 14:26).

Beloved, knowing the Trinity will empower you to live above limitations. Also, to enjoy God’s fullness, you need to know Him as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I pray that you will experience the fullness of the Godhead in your life, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT

Knowing the Trinity will help you to enjoy the fullness of God and empower you to live above limitations.

John 3-4

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 2 NOVEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: 2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”
This apostolic benediction beautifully distinguishes the roles within the Godhead while affirming their perfect unity. It presents the Father as the source of love, the Son as the channel of grace, and the Holy Spirit as the agent of intimate fellowship.

BIBLE READING: 1 John 5:5-8
This passage establishes the unified testimony of heaven concerning Jesus Christ:

• v. 5-6: Victory comes through faith in Jesus, who came by water (His humanity and ministry) and blood (His sacrificial death).
• v. 7: The heavenly witnesses—the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Spirit—are one in essence and testimony.
• v. 8: The earthly witnesses (water, blood, and the Spirit) agree with the heavenly, confirming the truth of Christ’s identity and work.

The Mystery and Majesty of the Trinity: Experiencing God’s Fullness

Pastor E.A. Adeboye tackles one of the most profound mysteries of the Christian faith with remarkable clarity, using practical analogies to illuminate the truth of the Trinity. The central message is that this doctrine is not a mere theological puzzle but the very key to living a victorious and empowered Christian life.

1. The Core Truth: One God in Three Persons

Unity in Essence, Distinction in Function:
The Bible unequivocally states that God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4). However, this one God reveals Himself in three distinct, co-equal, and co-eternal Persons: the Father, the Son (the Word), and the Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one God in three Persons, sharing the same divine nature, glory, and power.

Beyond Human Analogy:
Daddy Adeboye wisely uses analogies (the water states, his own relational roles) to make the concept relatable, but he does so knowing they are limited. The Trinity is a unique reality that transcends human comparison. The analogies help us grasp the concept of one essence with different expressions, but they cannot fully explain the reality of three distinct Persons in one Being.

2. The Distinct Expressions of the Godhead

The devotional powerfully breaks down how the one true God relates to humanity through three primary expressions, each with a distinct emphasis.

Expression of God	Primary Role & Nature	Key Scripture & Implication
God the Father	The Sovereign Ruler and Judge. He is the ultimate source, the fatherly authority who establishes law, order, and justice.	Hebrews 12:9. He is to be revered and obeyed. We approach Him with worship and holy fear, knowing He disciplines those He loves.
God the Son (Jesus)	The Compassionate Savior and Mediator. He is the relatable, empathetic High Priest who became flesh to redeem us.	Hebrews 4:15. We can approach Him with every weakness and temptation, knowing He understands and advocates for us before the Father.
God the Holy Spirit	The Empowering Presence and Helper. He is the creative, indwelling power of God who enables us to live godly lives.	John 14:26. He is our Teacher, Comforter, and the source of our strength, guiding us into all truth and empowering us for witness.

3. The Practical Power of Knowing the Trinity

Living Above Limitations:
Understanding the Trinity is not an academic exercise; it is the foundation for a supernatural life. We are not called to relate to a distant, monolithic deity, but to engage with a triune God who meets every need of the human spirit.

Accessing God’s Fullness:
To know God only as a stern Judge (Father) leads to fear. To know Him only as a historical Savior (Son) leads to a powerless faith. To know Him only as an abstract force (Spirit) leads to mysticism. Daddy Adeboye emphasizes that we must know and relate to all three Persons to experience the complete package of salvation: the Father’s love, the Son’s grace, and the Spirit’s communion.

How to Relate to the Triune God

1. Relate to the Father:

• Approach Him with reverence as your Creator and Sovereign.
• Trust in His perfect plan and fatherly care.
• Receive His discipline as proof of His love and commitment to your holiness.

2. Relate to the Son:

• Trust in His finished work on the cross for your salvation.
• Rely on His ongoing intercession for you daily.
• Follow His example and teachings as your Lord and Master.

3. Relate to the Holy Spirit:

• Yield to His leading and promptings in your daily decisions.
• Depend on His power for service, prayer, and overcoming sin.
• Welcome His ministry of teaching, comforting, and assuring you.

Warning: The Danger of an Imbalanced View
A truncated view of God leads to a stunted Christian life. Ignoring the Father leads to a loss of awe and reverence. Ignoring the Son leads to a lack of a saving relationship and a mediator. Ignoring the Holy Spirit leads to a life of self-effort and powerlessness.

Conclusion: Entering Into the Divine Fellowship

Pray this:
“Father God, I worship You as my Creator and Sovereign. Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your grace and saving work. Holy Spirit, I welcome Your presence and power into my life. Teach me to know and experience the fullness of the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—that I may live a life that truly overcomes the world, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

• Meditate on the Benediction: Spend time this week reflecting on 2 Corinthians 13:14. Ask God to make the grace of Christ, the love of the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit a tangible reality in your life.
• Audit Your Prayer Life: Do you pray primarily to one Person of the Trinity? Intentionally address your prayers to the Father, in the name of the Son, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Study the Distinctives: Read John 14-16, where Jesus explicitly explains the roles of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Remember: The ultimate purpose of understanding the Trinity is to enter into the divine fellowship itself—to experience the love, grace, and communion that has eternally existed between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

“For through him [Christ] we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” (Ephesians 2:18). This is the pathway to God’s fullness.

TOPIC: GODLY COUNSEL

MEMORISE:
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
Proverbs 19:20

READ: Exodus 18:13-26:
13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
14 And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
17 And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 1 NOVEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

In 2 Kings 5:1-14, Naaman, a commander in the Syrian army, came to Elisha because he needed healing from leprosy. The prophet instructed him to do something he felt was way below his status – he was to dip himself seven times in River Jordan, a river he considered to be way below other prestigious rivers in his home country.

Angrily, Naaman rejected Elisha’s instruction and was already on his way back to Syria when one of his servants counselled him to obey the prophet’s instructions. Thank God he heeded his servant’s counsel and did as Elisha had instructed. He was cured of his leprosy immediately, and his skin became like that of a newborn. If he had rejected his servant’s simple advice, he would have had to live the rest of his life as a leper.

The greatest miracle of your life might be tied to hearing and obeying godly counsel. It is important to never ignore godly counsel, no matter the age or status of the person or people giving the counsel.

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Proverbs 11:14

In today’s Bible reading, Jethro travelled to the wilderness to visit Moses, his son-in-law. During his visit, he observed how Moses attended to every single issue that arose in the camp of the Israelites all by himself from morning to night, such that at the end of every day, he was always exhausted.

After making this observation, Jethro counselled Moses on what to do. He told him to choose rulers of different ranks from among the people who could also judge matters that arose within the camp. Although Jethro didn’t have the burning bush experience that Moses had, Moses listened to him and received God’s counsel through him.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:6

Humility or meekness is an ingredient for receiving God’s grace. You need a meek heart to properly discern when God is speaking through someone and receive what He has to say to you through them. Moses was known as the meekest man on earth (Numbers 12:3), and his meekness was what made him able to receive counsel from people who seemed not to have attained his spiritual height and influence.

No matter how high you get, God wants you to remain meek. Ask God for a meek heart to receive His counsel through whatever vessel or method He chooses to use.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me a meek heart so that I can receive Your counsel through whatever vessel or method You choose to use to speak, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 8: I Need Thee Every Hour

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 1 NOVEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Proverbs 19:20 (KJV)
“Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.”
This verse establishes a direct link between our willingness to receive counsel and our future success and wisdom. It frames heeding advice not as a sign of weakness, but as a strategic investment in a victorious destiny.

BIBLE READING: Exodus 18:13-26
This passage is a masterclass in leadership and the practical application of godly counsel:

• v. 13-18: Moses, despite his anointing, operates in an unsustainable model, leading to personal burnout and potential bottlenecks for the people.
• v. 19-23: Jethro, as a God-sent counselor, provides a structured, scalable solution that prioritizes Moses’s divine calling while empowering others.
• v. 24-26: Moses’s humility in heeding this advice leads to effective implementation, demonstrating that true strength lies in teachability.

The Power of a Meek Heart: Receiving God’s Counsel Through Any Vessel

Pastor E.A. Adeboye uses the powerful examples of Naaman and Moses to drive home a critical spiritual principle: our breakthrough is often contingent not just on hearing God’s voice, but on our humility to receive His instruction through unexpected channels. The devotional underscores that pride is a primary blocker of divine grace and miracle-working power.

1. The Nature of Godly Counsel

Divine Origin, Human Vessel:
Godly counsel is wisdom that originates from God (James 1:5) but is often delivered through human instruments. It is characterized by its alignment with Scripture and its fruit in producing peace and order (1 Corinthians 14:33).

The Pride Filter:
The greatest barrier to receiving counsel is pride. As Daddy Adeboye notes, James 4:6 reveals that God actively resists the proud. Pride makes us filter advice through our status, education, or personal preferences, often causing us to miss a word from the Lord.

2. Biblical Case Studies in Counsel

The devotional presents two starkly different men who both needed humility to access their miracle and manage their mission.

Character	The Situation	The Counsel & The Struggle	The Outcome of Obedience
Naaman (2 Kings 5)	A mighty commander afflicted with leprosy.	To dip 7x in the Jordan. He struggled with pride and preconceived notions of how his miracle should happen.	Complete healing and restoration. His flesh became like that of a “little child,” signifying newness.
Moses (Exodus 18)	A great leader on the verge of burnout, limiting his own effectiveness.	To delegate authority and share the load. He struggled with the potential of receiving advice from a “less spiritual” source.	Sustainable leadership, preserved energy for his primary calling, and the establishment of a just system.

3. The Safeguard of Multiple Counsellors

The Principle of Safety (Proverbs 11:14):
Daddy Adeboye highlights that relying on a “multitude of counsellors” is a divine safety mechanism. This does not mean following every opinion, but subjecting decisions to the scrutiny of mature, spiritually-aligned believers to confirm God’s will.

Protection from Error:
A single perspective can be flawed or biased. Multiple godly perspectives help to bring clarity, confirm direction, and protect us from deception or the limitations of our own understanding (Proverbs 15:22).

4. The Key Ingredient: Cultivating Meekness

Meekness is Not Weakness:
Moses, the meekest man on earth (Numbers 12:3), was also the most powerful leader of his time. Meekness is strength under control; it is the power to be teachable, to submit to God’s process without rebellion, regardless of the vessel He uses.

The Grace Connection:
A meek heart is a grace magnet. When we humble ourselves, we position ourselves to receive the unmerited favor and enabling power of God (James 4:6). This grace is often the very thing needed to obey the difficult or humbling counsel we receive.

How to Cultivate a Meek and Receptive Heart

1. Acknowledge Your Blind Spots:
Consciously recognize that you do not see all things clearly. Your perspective, no matter how anointed, is limited. This creates a default posture of openness to insight from others.

2. Value Wisdom Over Status:
Intentionally seek and value advice based on its biblical soundness and practical wisdom, not the title, age, or social standing of the person giving it. God spoke through a donkey to Balaam (Numbers 22:28-30); He can use anyone.

3. Practice Immediate, Partial Obedience:
When you receive counsel that aligns with Scripture, obey immediately in the parts you understand. Like Naaman, your healing is in the obedience to the instruction, not in your feelings about it.

Warning: The High Cost of a Closed Spirit
Rejecting godly counsel is a form of pride that God resists. It can lead to:

• Stagnation: Like Naaman almost returning to Syria unhealed.
• Burnout: Like Moses would have experienced without Jethro.
• Catastrophic Failure: As seen in King Rehoboam, who rejected the counsel of elders and lost a kingdom (1 Kings 12:13-16).

Conclusion: Your Pathway to Wisdom and Preservation

Pray this:
“Father, uproot every seed of pride from my heart. Give me the meek and humble spirit of Christ to recognize and receive Your counsel, whether it comes from a prophet, a servant, or a stranger. Help me to value Your instruction above my status, so that I may be wise, preserved, and walk in the fullness of my destiny, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

• Identify Your Jethros: Who are the 2-3 mature, trustworthy believers in your life you can go to for honest, godly counsel on major decisions?
• Obey the Nudge: Is there a piece of godly advice you have been resisting? Write it down, pray over it, and take the first step of obedience today.
• Study Meekness: Read and meditate on Numbers 12:3, Matthew 11:29, and 1 Peter 5:5-6 this week. Ask God to make these scriptures a reality in your life.

Remember: Your greatest miracle or most effective leadership strategy may be hidden in a counsel you have been too proud to hear. Humble yourself and receive it.

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14). Be safe.

TOPIC: SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN

MEMORISE:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23

READ: Genesis 1:1-3:
1 In the beginning God created* the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 31 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

God created the world by speaking it into existence, as we see in today’s Bible reading.

The earth was in a terrible shape; it was void and covered in darkness. Amid this chaos, God called forth light to shine out of the darkness, and His creative work began. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Everything that we see was created by the power of God’s word. There is creative power in the word of God. This is why, as a child of God, when challenges come your way, you do not complain. Rather than complain, you should put the word of God on your lips and speak His will into existence. No matter the kind of obstacles that are hindering God’s will from being manifested in your life, He wants you to speak and command them to move out of the way.

Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Zechariah 4:7

The authority to speak to mountains is not exclusively for ministers of God. Rather, it is for every genuine child of God. This means that, if you are a child of God and you command the mountains that are contrary to God’s will in your life to disappear in Jesus’ name, they will obey. The Bible says in Philippians 2:9-10 that at the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee in heaven, on earth, or underneath the earth, should bow.

Some Christians speak to their mountains, but they say the wrong things. Instead of commanding a mountain to be removed, they plead with it for mercy or complain about it.

When God says, ‘Speak to the mountain’, He wants you to address it squarely. However, you must get rid of doubt so you can speak authoritatively to that mountain.

James 1:6 says:
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Beloved, doubt robs believers of their authority, and you must not permit it in your heart. Believe in the absolute power of God’s word without any doubt, and no mountain will be able to stand before you.

KEY POINT

Don’t complain about negative situations in your life; rather, speak God’s will into existence concerning them.

HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Mark 11:23
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
This is the Master’s definitive teaching on the creative power of faith-filled speech. It grants every believer the authority to address and dismantle obstacles with the same creative principle God used to form the world.

BIBLE READING: Genesis 1:1-3
This passage reveals the original creative pattern:
v. 2: The Problem: The earth was without form, void, and covered in darkness.
v. 3: The Solution: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
God did not complain about the chaos; He spoke order into it. His Word is the creative agent that frames worlds (Hebrews 11:3).

The Authority of the Believer’s Word

Pastor E.A. Adeboye unveils one of the most powerful privileges of the believer: the God-given authority to recreate our circumstances through faith-filled declarations of His Word. Just as God spoke light into darkness, we are to speak God’s will into the chaotic situations of our lives.

The Biblical Pattern: Speak, Don’t Complain

• God’s Method: Faced with formlessness and void, God did not analyze the problem; He spoke the solution. He called “things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17).
• The Believer’s Mandate: We are to imitate God (Ephesians 5:1). When challenges arise—sickness, debt, oppression—our first response should not be complaint or pleading, but a authoritative command based on God’s Word.

The Nature of the “Mountain”

A “mountain” is any obstacle that stands contrary to God’s revealed will for your life. It is any situation that appears immovable, such as:

• A chronic illness
• A financial debt or lack
• A stubborn addiction
• A broken relationship
• A spiritual stronghold

How to Speak to Your Mountain Effectively

1. Address It Squarely:
Do not talk about the mountain to others; speak to the mountain itself. Command it directly in the name of Jesus, just as Jesus spoke to the fig tree and the storm.

2. Command, Do Not Plead:
You have been given authority (Luke 10:19). Your posture is not that of a beggar but of an ambassador issuing a decree from heaven’s throne room. Say “Be removed!” not “Please go away.”

3. Use the Word of God:
Your authority is derived from and embedded in God’s Word. Speak scripture to your situation. Your command must align with God’s will as revealed in His Word.

4. Anchor Your Command in the Name of Jesus:
The name of Jesus is the legal basis for your authority. Every knee must bow to it (Philippians 2:9-10). Command the mountain to move “in Jesus’ name.”

5. Eliminate All Doubt:
This is the non-negotiable condition. Doubt is a leak that drains all power from your declaration. You must believe in your heart that what you say will happen (Mark 11:23). Heart-belief must precede mouth-speaking.

The Danger of Wavering Faith

James 1:6-7 warns that a double-minded (wavering) person is unstable and should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Doubt reduces your powerful command to a mere wishful statement, rendering it ineffective.

Conclusion: Take Your Place as a Creator

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the creative power of Your Word and for granting me authority in Jesus’ name. Forgive me for times I have complained about my mountains instead of commanding them. Today, I stand on Your Word. I speak to the mountain of [name your specific obstacle] and I command it to be removed and cast into the sea! I reject every spirit of doubt and I believe with all my heart that what I have declared is done. My situation is aligning with Your will now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your Mountain: Clearly define the obstacle you are facing.
2. Find Your Scripture: Locate a Bible promise that contradicts your mountain (e.g., for healing, 1 Peter 2:24; for provision, Philippians 4:19).
3. Craft Your Declaration: Write a specific, faith-filled command based on that scripture. Example: “Mountain of debt, I command you to be removed now! I speak financial breakthrough and supernatural supply, in Jesus’ name!”
4. Declare It Daily: Speak your command to the mountain daily, without wavering, until you see the manifestation.

Remember: You are not rebelling against reality; you are calling a higher reality—God’s Word—into your current circumstance. You have been authorized to frame your world with your words.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God…” (Hebrews 11:3). Start framing your world today.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 29 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

A person’s future can be influenced by his or her name. For example, Moses was so named in Exodus 2:10 because he was drawn out of water. Throughout his lifetime, he continually had encounters with water. God used him to perform several miracles with water, including: changing water to blood (Exodus 7:20), parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21), turning bitter water to sweet water (Exodus 15), and bringing water out of the rock (Exodus 17).

Names are important; this is why God had to change the names of some people in the Bible so that their destinies could be fulfilled. My mother told me that on her way to see a priest concerning my baptismal name, the name she had in mind was Elisha. However, by the time she got to the priest, she had forgotten the name, so she told him that she would name me Enoch. When she shared this story with me, I told her that I would keep the two names – Elisha, who had a double portion of the anointing, and Enoch, the man who walked with God.

The names people are called are important to their destinies, but there is a name that is greater than all names, and that name is JESUS.

In Philippians 2:9-11, the Bible says,
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

In Psalm 118:10-13, David revealed the secret to his victory. He said that when the nations compassed him about, he destroyed them in the name of the Lord. He understood the power in the name of the Lord.

Beloved, is there anything troubling you as a child of God? Does it have a name? If it does, I congratulate you because you have just defeated it. As long as it has a name, there is a name above it. Even if doctors can’t find a name for anything that might be troubling you medically and they say that all they can see from their diagnosis is ‘nothing’, that is still a name, and when you trust in the name of the Lord, you will always be victorious. Call on the name of the Lord today, and He will give you victory over anything that is troubling you.

REFLECTION

Do you have absolute trust in the name of Jesus?

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Psalm 20:1
“The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.”
This is both a prayer and a proclamation. It invokes the covenant-keeping God (the God of Jacob) to actively defend and protect His children through the power inherent in His name when they call upon Him in their day of trouble.

BIBLE READING: Psalms 118:6-12
This passage is a powerful declaration of victory through the name of the Lord:
v. 6: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
v. 10-12: “All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them… They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.”
The name of the Lord is the believer’s weapon of total victory against overwhelming odds.

The Supremacy of the Name of Jesus

Pastor E.A. Adeboye teaches on the profound power of names, using biblical examples to build a crescendo of faith around the most powerful name in existence: the name of Jesus. While earthly names can influence destiny, the name of Jesus has the ultimate authority to define, command, and transform every situation.

The Power of a Name

• Prophetic Destiny: Names often carry prophetic significance, shaping a person’s life and calling, as seen with Moses (“drawn out”) and the renaming of Abram (father) to Abraham (father of many nations).
• Spiritual Identity: The names Elisha (God is salvation) and Enoch (dedicated, walked with God) represent a double portion anointing and intimate fellowship, a heritage Daddy Adeboye gratefully acknowledges.

The Name That is Above Every Name

While human names have influence, the name of Jesus exists in a category of its own:

• It is Highly Exalted (Philippians 2:9): God the Father has bestowed upon the name of Jesus the highest rank, dignity, and authority in the universe.
• It Commands Universal Submission (Philippians 2:10): Every being—in heaven, on earth, and under the earth (demonic forces)—must bow at its utterance. No authority, natural or supernatural, is exempt.
• It Secures Universal Confession (Philippians 2:11): Every tongue will be forced to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. This name settles every argument and ends every debate.

The Practical Victory in the Name

The name of Jesus is not a theological concept; it is a practical weapon for daily victory.

1. It is Your Defense (Psalm 20:1):
When trouble comes, the name of the God of Jacob is your shield and defender. It is a spiritual fortress.

2. It is Your Offensive Weapon (Psalm 118:10-12):
Like David, you can “destroy” encircling enemies—sickness, lack, fear, oppression—in the name of the Lord. The name is a weapon of total annihilation against every adversarial force.

3. It is Your Answer to Every Named Trouble:
The devotional presents a profound truth: “As long as it has a name, there is a name above it.”

• Sickness has a name → Jesus is above it.
• Poverty has a name → Jesus is above it.
• Depression has a name → Jesus is above it.
• Even a diagnosis of ‘nothing’ has a name → Jesus is above it.

How to Activate the Power of the Name

1. Call Upon the Name:
In your day of trouble, consciously and audibly call upon the name of Jesus. Speak it in prayer. There is power in the vocalized confession of His name (Romans 10:13).

2. Command in the Name:
Follow the biblical model. Do not just plead with God; command the situation to change in the mighty name of Jesus. Address the mountain of sickness or debt and command it to be removed (Mark 11:23).

3. Live in the Authority of the Name:
Understand that as a believer, you have been given the legal right to use this name (Mark 16:17-18). Walk in the confidence that every knee must bow to the name you carry.

Conclusion: Your Ultimate Weapon

Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I thank You for the power in Your name. I proclaim today that Your name is above every name—above every sickness, every fear, every lack, and every attack in my life. I call upon Your name now for deliverance and victory over [name your specific situation]. I command every opposing force to bow now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that I am more than a conqueror through You. Thank You for the victory. Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Name Your Trouble: Clearly identify what you are facing. Write it down.
2. Find a Scripture: Locate a Bible promise that contradicts that trouble.
3. Pray and Command: Pray, using the name of Jesus to plead your defense and command the situation to change.
4. Thank Him: Begin to thank God for the victory as if it has already been accomplished.

Remember: You are not fighting for victory; you are fighting from victory. The battle was won at the cross. Your role is to enforce that victory through the powerful name of Jesus.

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10). Use the name today.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: SHINE THE LIGHT

MEMORISE:
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Matthew 5:15

READ: Matthew 18:23-35:
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, andchildren, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, andI will pay thee all.

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave theeall that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was dueunto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 28 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Every true child of God is a shining light. You are the light of the world, and Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Light has one clear duty: shining. This means that anything that stops light from shining is its enemy. As a child of God, anything that stops you from shining is your enemy, and you must deal with it.

Anything that allows darkness to gain the upper hand over light in a believer’s life is an enemy. In today’s memory verse, Jesus identified an object that can keep our light from shining and allow darkness to rule over light – a bushel. A bushel is typically a wooden bucket that was used for measuring dry goods such as peas or grains in the past. If someone lights a lamp in a dark room and puts it under a bushel, it will be impossible to tell that there is light anywhere in that room.

One of the most dangerous bushels that has hidden the light of many believers is unforgiveness. The dangerous thing about unforgiveness is that it comes as just one bushel, but it multiplies itself into many other bushels that cover a believer’s light and keep it from shining. Unforgiveness always comes with bitterness, grudges, anger, and resentment. When someone offends you and you decide not to forgive the person, before long, you will find yourself resenting the person and refusing to speak amicably with him or her. Unforgiveness also hinders prayers from getting answered.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26

Beloved, don’t toy with unforgiveness; it hides a person’s light and plunges the unforgiving person into darkness. When Jesus told the parable of the unforgiving servant in today’s Bible reading, He revealed the end of those who do not forgive – they are handed over to tormentors.

Have you been hiding your light under the bushel of unforgiveness? It is time to kick it away and let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). I pray that God will be glorified through your words and actions, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT

Unforgiveness is dangerous; don’t let it dim your light.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Luke 16-18

HYMN 59: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 28 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Matthew 5:15
“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”
This verse illustrates the intended purpose of light: to shine forth and dispel darkness. A hidden light is a contradiction to its very nature. The believer, as Christ’s light, must be positioned to illuminate, not concealed.

BIBLE READING: Matthew 18:23-35
This parable is Jesus’s definitive teaching on the necessity of forgiveness:
v. 32-33: The Accusation: “I forgave thee all that debt… Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?”
v. 34: The Consequence: Unforgiveness leads to being “delivered to the tormentors.”
v. 35: The Application: “So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.”

The Bushel of Unforgiveness

Pastor E.A. Adeboye delivers a critical message on one of the most subtle yet destructive hindrances to a believer’s testimony: unforgiveness. He identifies it as a primary “bushel” that smothers the light of Christ in a believer, plunging them into spiritual ineffectiveness and personal torment.

The Believer’s Identity: Light of the World

Every true child of God is ordained to be a shining light (Matthew 5:14-16). This light is meant to:

• Reveal Truth: Expose the darkness of sin and error.
• Guide the Lost: Provide direction to those seeking God.
• Glorify the Father: Our good works, illuminated by this light, point people to God.

Unforgiveness: The Bushel That Hides the Light

A bushel is a container that smothers and hides light. Unforgiveness is such a bushel because:

1. It is a Multiplier of Darkness: Unforgiveness is rarely a standalone sin. It quickly multiplies into bitterness, resentment, anger, and grudges (Hebrews 12:15). One offense, left unforgiven, can generate an entire array of “bushels” that completely quench your light.
2. It Hinders Prayer: Unforgiveness creates a spiritual barrier between you and God. Mark 11:25-26 is unequivocal: an unforgiving heart ensures that our own prayers for forgiveness remain unanswered. A closed heart towards others results in a closed heaven from God.
3. It Invites Torment: The parable in Matthew 18 concludes that the unforgiving servant was handed over to the “tormentors.” Unforgiveness is a self-imposed prison of emotional and spiritual anguish—it tortures the one who refuses to forgive far more than it affects the offender.
4. It Contradicts the Gospel: The core of the gospel is that we have been forgiven an unpayable debt by God through Christ. To refuse to forgive a relatively minor offense from a fellow human is a gross contradiction of the grace we have received (Ephesians 4:32).

How to Remove the Bushel and Let Your Light Shine

1. Make the Decision to Forgive:
Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a choice—a crisis of the will. Choose to release the offender from the debt they owe you, just as Christ did for you.

2. Forgive from the Heart (Matthew 18:35):
This moves beyond a verbal statement to a genuine release in your inner being. It is a process that often requires prayer, asking God to heal the hurt and change your heart.

3. Remember the Cross:
Continuously reflect on the immense forgiveness you have received in Christ. This makes it impossible to hold a grudge against someone else (Colossians 3:13).

4. Pray for the Offender:
Jesus commands us to pray for those who despitefully use us (Matthew 5:44). This is a practical step that softens the heart and dismantles bitterness.

Conclusion: Step Out of Torment into Light

Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, I confess the sin of unforgiveness. I have hidden my light under the bushel of bitterness and resentment against [name the person(s)]. Right now, by an act of my will, I choose to forgive them completely, releasing them from the debt I feel they owe me. I ask You to heal my wounded heart and remove all torment from my soul. Let the light of Your love and forgiveness shine through me once again, so that my life may glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify the Bushel: Who have you not truly forgiven? Write down their name(s).
2. Make the Choice: Verbally declare your forgiveness to God, stating: “I forgive [name] for [offense].”
3. Break the Torment: Renounce every spirit of torment, bitterness, and anger associated with that offense.
4. Re-ignite Your Light: Perform a specific act of kindness or pray a blessing for the person you have forgiven.

Remember: Your light is desperately needed in a dark world. Do not allow the enemy to smother it with the bushel of unforgiveness. Your freedom and your effectiveness in God’s kingdom depend on your obedience to forgive.

“…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). Remove the bushel and shine.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

In my early years of being the General Overseer of RCCG, my wife came to me during one of our annual conventions and said, “To feed the people today, we need an extra 5,000 naira.” I asked her, “Darling, when do you need the money? Today or now?” She asked,

“What’s the difference?” I then told her that there is a lot of difference between today and now. She then replied, “We need the money today.” I told her, “In that case, you can go.

When I have the money, I will give it to you.” At the time she came, I didn’t have any money with me, but I knew that there is a God in heaven who is my hiding place. I can always run to Him when there is trouble.

When my wife left, I turned to my Lord, “The people have come. They are Your people, and You can’t allow them to starve.” Not long after, a man who was not a member of the church drove into the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City) and came to see me. He was just passing by and saw a large crowd coming into the camp. He was curious, so he asked,

“What is going on here?” I told him we were having our annual convention. He replied,

“Beautiful! Next year, I will be part of it.” He then put his hand in his pocket, brought out an envelope, and said, “In the meantime, let me support the church with this token.” I prayed for him, and he left. When I opened the envelope, I saw that it contained 1,000 naira. I said to myself, “Thank God. We have 1,000 naira down and 4,000 naira to go.” Shortly after, the leaders of the youths in the church came to me in the office and gave me an envelope. I prayed for them, and they left. I opened the envelope, and it contained 2,000 naira. Not long after, I sent for my wife and gave her the 5,000 naira she had earlier requested because God miraculously provided another 2,000 naira.

In Psalm 61, the Psalmist cried that God should lead him to a rock higher than him. God’s word is the rock that hides us from trouble and shame. Beloved, you can never be stranded when you put your hope in God’s word. When you put your total trust in His word, He will hide you in His secret place and ensure you are never put to shame.

KEY POINT

Father, please hide me in Your secret place. Let me not be put to shame, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Luke 13-15

HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Psalm 119:114
“Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.”
This verse presents a powerful twofold assurance: God is both a hiding place (a secret refuge of safety) and a shield (an active defender in battle). The key to accessing both is placing our hope not in circumstances, but in the unwavering truth of His Word.

BIBLE READING: Psalms 32:6-7
This passage describes the security of those who trust in the Lord:
v. 6: “For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.”
v. 7: “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.”
God’s protection is both a place of retreat and a surrounding force of deliverance.

The Secret Place of Provision

Pastor E.A. Adeboye shares a profound personal testimony that illustrates a critical kingdom principle: God is a very present help and a reliable hiding place in times of need. The story demonstrates that financial or material lack is not a problem for God; it is an opportunity for Him to reveal Himself as Jehovah Jireh, the Provider.

The Theology of the Hiding Place

• A Place of Safety: A hiding place is a location of concealment from threat or danger. In God, we are hidden from the shame of lack, the anxiety of uncertainty, and the attacks of the enemy (Colossians 3:3).
• A Place of Supply: As the testimony shows, God’s hiding place is not just about protection fromsomething, but provision in the midst of something. It is the place where needs are met supernaturally.
• Accessed by Hope in His Word: Our entry into this hiding place is through faith in God’s promises. We must believe that what He has said in His Word about His provision (e.g., Philippians 4:19) is true for our specific situation.

Key Lessons from the Testimony

1. Distinguish Between ‘Today’ and ‘Now’:
   Daddy Adeboye’s question highlights the difference between a deadline and a panic. Faith gives God room to work within His own timetable (“today”) without succumbing to the pressure of immediate desperation (“now”).
2. The Burden Belongs to the Lord:
   The powerful prayer, “The people have come. They are Your people…” reflects a core understanding: God is responsible for His work. When we are doing His will, His resources are available for His assignments.
3. Provision Often Comes Through Unlikely Sources:
   God used a curious stranger and youth leaders—not a planned offering—to meet the need. He is not limited to conventional methods and often provides in unexpected ways to increase our faith.
4. The Principle of Progressive Provision:
   God provided the N5,000 in separate installments (N1,000 + N2,000 + N2,000). This teaches us to thank Him for what He provides when He provides it, trusting that He will complete the work.

How to Run to Your Hiding Place

1. Identify the Need:
Clearly define what you need, as Sister Foluke Adeboye did. Take it to the Lord in prayer.

2. Transfer the Burden:
Verbally release the problem to God. Remind Him (and yourself) that it is His work and His responsibility. Cast your care upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).

3. Stand on His Word:
Anchor your hope in specific promises from Scripture regarding God’s provision and protection (e.g., Psalm 23:1, Matthew 6:33).

4. Watch with Expectation:
Be expectant and attentive to how God might move. His solutions will often be creative and timely.

5. Give Thanks for Every Step:
Acknowledge and thank God for every sign of His provision, no matter how small it may seem. This builds faith for the complete answer.

Conclusion: You Are Never Stranded

Pray this:
“My Father and my Hiding Place, I thank You that You are my refuge and my shield. Today, I bring my need for [mention your specific need] before You. I release the burden and the timing into Your hands. I place my hope in Your Word that promises to supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory. I hide myself in You now, trusting that You will preserve me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Thank You for being my provider. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Action Steps:

1. Scripture Meditation: Memorize and meditate on Psalm 119:114 and Psalm 32:7.
2. Need List: Write down a specific need and a corresponding Bible promise. Pray over it daily.
3. Thanksgiving Journal: Start a journal to record every instance of God’s provision, big or small.
4. Testify: Share your testimony of God’s provision with someone to strengthen their faith.

Remember: When you are in God’s hiding place, the “floods of great waters” of lack and trouble cannot come near you. Your part is to hope in His Word; His part is to be your hiding place.

“Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.” (Psalm 119:114). Run to your hiding place today.
