OPEN HEAVEN 2 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: FAITH WITHOUT WORKS

MEMORISE:

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James 2:17

READ: James 2:20-26:

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 2 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Years ago, some Christian students in a particular university came to me and said, “We don’t know what is going on. Those of us who are in the fellowship are always the ones failing.” I replied them, “This might be because, at the time you are supposed to be studying, you are in the fellowship.” 

They said, “Is it not written that the Holy Spirit will help us?” I responded, “Thank God for the Holy Spirit, but the Bible says that the Holy Spirit will remind you of the things you have learnt.
However, if you do not learn anything and end up failing, after He chastises you, He will comfort you.”

Beloved, to walk in God’s blessings, faith must go hand-in-hand with works. For example, in Luke 5:1-9, Jesus came to Peter, who had a boat and asked him to lend Him the boat for a while. After preaching from the boat, Jesus told Peter to cast his net into the sea for a catch. If Peter had not cast his net, he would not have seen the glory of God. If he had just said, “I believe you, Jesus. I know You can do all things,” and had refused to obey the simple instruction, he would have returned home empty-handed that night. 

Instead, he said, “At thy word – because You have spoken to me – I will do what You say.” He took a step of faith and did the work of throwing his net into the sea. Then, he caught so many fishes that his net broke. People who add works to their faith experience ‘net-breaking’ miracles. Another example of someone in the Bible who added works to their faith is the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48. She did not just stop at knowing that Jesus carried the healing anointing, she forced her way through a large crowd just to touch the hem of His garment.

The result was that she was instantly healed of a sickness she had suffered from for 12 years.

If you are not doing anything in line with the faith you claim to have, that faith is dead. You cannot sit in your house and pray for a job when you are not applying for any. Likewise, you cannot be trusting God for a visa to another country when you do not even have an international passport. Bring your faith to life by adding works to it; faith without works is dead.

ACTION POINT

Take steps of faith concerning the things you are trusting God for.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 28-30

HYMN 33: GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH!

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 2 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: James 2:17 (KJV)
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
This verse is the cornerstone of the devotional’s message. It presents a spiritual principle: faith, in its biblical definition, is not a passive state of belief but an active force. True, living faith will always produce corresponding actions. Without these actions, faith is a corpse—it has the appearance of life but lacks the breath and power that makes it real and effective.

BIBLE READING: James 2:20-26 (KJV)
This passage provides the theological foundation, using two powerful examples. Abraham’s faith was proven genuine when he obeyed God’s difficult command to sacrifice Isaac. Rahab’s faith in the God of Israel was demonstrated when she acted by hiding the spies. In both cases, their works did not earn their salvation; rather, their works were the visible evidence and completion (“made perfect”) of the invisible faith they possessed.

The Danger of Spiritual Passivity

Daddy Adeboye begins by addressing a common pitfall in Christian circles: misapplying faith to justify negligence. The students confused faith with a magical formula, believing the Holy Spirit’s help replaced their responsibility to study. The commentary correctly distinguishes the Holy Spirit’s role as a reminder of what has been learned (John 14:26), not a substitute for learning itself. This highlights a critical truth: God’s supernatural intervention is most often activated in the context of our diligent obedience and effort. Expecting God to do for us what He has given us the capacity and responsibility to do ourselves is not faith; it is presumption.

Biblical Case Studies: Faith in Action

The devotional uses two potent New Testament examples to illustrate the dynamic partnership between faith and works:

1. Peter’s Obedience (Luke 5:1-9): Peter, a professional fisherman, had just finished a fruitless night of work. Jesus’ command to cast the net again went against all his experience and logic. His faith was not in the command itself, but in the person who gave it: “at thy word.” The work of throwing the net was the physical manifestation of his trust in Jesus’ word. The result was a “net-breaking,” overwhelming miracle that far exceeded his natural capacity. This teaches that God’s miraculous provision is often waiting on the other side of a specific, sometimes illogical, act of obedience.
2. The Woman’s Pursuit (Luke 8:43-48): This woman’s faith was not passive hope. Her belief that touching Jesus’ garment would heal her drove her to a series of desperate works: she spent all she had on doctors, fought through a crushing crowd, and stretched out her hand. Her action was the necessary point of contact for her faith to release the healing power in Christ. Her work did not earn the healing; it accessed the grace that was already available through Christ.

Bringing It Home: Practical Application

The interpretation moves from biblical stories to modern-life application, making the message painfully clear and practical. The examples of praying for a job without applying or trusting God for a visa without getting a passport are masterful because they expose the absurdity of dead faith in everyday terms. They show that faith is not a spiritual excuse for inaction. True, living faith in God for a job will be accompanied by the work of preparing a resume, searching for openings, and attending interviews, all while trusting God for favor. This is the synergy God designed: we do the natural, and God supernaturally blesses our obedience and effort.

The Consequence of Dead Faith

The underlying warning is that dead faith is ultimately useless faith. It cannot save (James 2:14), it cannot produce miracles, and it leads to frustration and failure, as seen with the university students. It creates a cycle of disappointment where God is wrongly blamed for not acting when the believer did not step out in obedient action.

Pray this:
“Father, forgive me for every time I have used ‘faith’ as an excuse for my inaction or disobedience. I renounce a passive spirit. Holy Spirit, ignite in me a living, active faith that is courageous enough to obey Your Word and promptings. Give me the strength to cast my net, to push through the crowd, and to do the practical works that demonstrate my trust in You. Let my life be a testament to a faith that is alive and powerful, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify an Area of Passivity: Where in your life have you been ‘praying’ but not ‘doing’? Be specific (e.g., a relationship, a financial goal, a health issue).
2. Define the ‘Work’: What is one practical, obedient step God is asking you to take in that area? (e.g., make that difficult phone call, create a budget, schedule a doctor’s appointment).
3. Act on ‘His Word’: Do that thing not in your own strength, but specifically “at His word,” declaring your dependence on Him as you obey.
4. Study James 2: Read this chapter daily for a week. Ask God to reveal any other areas where your faith needs to be coupled with action.

Remember: God is not a magician; He is a Master Builder. He provides the blueprint (His Word) and the materials (His grace and power), but He expects you to pick up the tools and build. Your obedient action is the tool that brings the blueprint of His promises to life in your reality.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: ALLOW NO BARRIERS TO THE GOSPEL

MEMORISE:

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isaiah 61:1

READ: 1 Corinthians 9:16-17:

16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

People keep asking why The Redeemed Christian Church of God is so successful all over the world. As a matter of fact, we are in some nations where Christianity is not allowed.

In some of these nations, we baptise people secretly, and whenever we want to talk about the blood of Jesus, we say BOJ. We have had considerable impact in some of these nations because we did not allow anything deter us from spreading the gospel. We hold Bible Study meetings in open fields and miracles happen. Sometimes, the political leaders in such places come quietly at night, acknowledging that our God is the Almighty.

There was once a lady evangelist and missionary who was working in a village in Africa. In that village, she got everybody to become born again. The people realised what God had done for them, and they were on fire for Him. The lady then decided to convert those in the neighbouring village too. She informed the people around her about her plans, but they were not in favour of it. “You can go to another village, ma’am, not there,” they advised. She asked, “Why not?” They replied, “Because there are lions on the way.

We have been hearing them roaring, and when they roar like that, it means they are hungry.

Please, don’t go near that village.” “But I must go,” she insisted. 

So, a very elderly and feeble man said to her, “Okay, if you must go, I will go with you.” The evangelist looked at him and said, “If a lion attacks, even I can defend myself better than you can.” The man said, “You don’t understand; lions don’t attack when they are full. They only kill when they are hungry. So, the idea is this: I will walk ahead of you, the lions will kill and eat me, and then your way will be clear.” Those villagers were ready to lay down their lives for the gospel to reach the unreached.

Beloved, God will not be asking you for too much by telling you to preach to your boss, for instance. However, if you are afraid you might lose your job and refuse to do it, you will be hindering an unsaved soul from hearing the gospel and becoming saved. Do not let any barrier keep you from preaching the gospel;

God is counting on you to prevent many people from heading towards eternal damnation.

ACTION POINT

Always use every opportunity you have to tell people about Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 25-27

HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 1 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
This verse is the Messiah’s mandate, directly quoted by Jesus in Luke 4:18 to define His earthly ministry. It establishes that the core calling of every believer anointed by the same Spirit is to preach the gospel—a message of good news, healing, freedom, and liberation to those trapped in spiritual, physical, and emotional bondage.

BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 9:16-17 (KJV)
“16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me.”
The Apostle Paul presents the gospel not as a voluntary hobby but as a divine compulsion—a sacred trust and stewardship (“dispensation”) given to him by God. To neglect this duty is to invite spiritual “woe,” meaning a deep, convicting grief from the Holy Spirit. Preaching is not optional for the true believer; it is an inescapable responsibility.

The Unstoppable Mandate of the Gospel

Pastor E.A. Adeboye uses this devotional to move beyond theory and present the practical, often costly, reality of the Great Commission. He contrasts the global success of RCCG not with marketing strategies, but with a raw, uncompromising obedience to this “necessity” laid upon us by God.

Biblical Foundation of Compelled Evangelism

The devotional’s core message is a living example of the Memorise and Reading verses. Isaiah 61:1 is the “what”—the message of freedom. 1 Corinthians 9:16-17 is the “why”—the compelling force behind delivering that message. Daddy Adeboye illustrates that when these two scriptures become the bedrock of a believer’s life, barriers become irrelevant. The examples given—using code words like “BOJ,” holding secret baptisms, and meeting in open fields—demonstrate a practical understanding of Paul’s “dispensation.” They were entrusted with the gospel and found innovative, courageous ways to be faithful to that trust, regardless of the political or social climate.

The Ultimate Sacrifice: A Modern-Day Parable

The story of the elderly man volunteering to be a sacrifice for the lion is a powerful typology. It serves multiple interpretive layers:

• Christological Symbolism: The man is a clear symbol of Christ, who laid down His life to clear the way for the Gospel to reach a dying world (John 12:24). He was “feeble” in the world’s eyes, much like Christ’s crucifixion was a sign of weakness to some, but it was the ultimate act of strength that defeated the “roaring lion” of Satan (1 Peter 5:8).
• The Cost of Discipleship: It reframes the cost of evangelism. The villagers weren’t just giving money or time; they were willing to give their lives. This echoes the attitude of the early church and martyrs throughout history who considered their lives worth nothing if only they could finish the race and complete the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace (Acts 20:24).
• Community Mission: It highlights that evangelism is not a solo sport. The “elderly and feeble” man represents that every member of the body of Christ has a role to play in advancing the gospel, even those who may seem ill-equipped or weak by worldly standards (1 Corinthians 1:27).

Confronting Our Modern-Day “Lions”

Daddy Adeboye masterfully brings the application home. For most readers, the “lion” on the path is not a literal beast but the fear of man: the fear of losing a job, facing ridicule, damaging a reputation, or creating awkwardness with a boss or colleague. By contrasting the ultimate sacrifice of the villager with our common reluctance to even have a difficult conversation, he exposes the weakness of our faith and the gravity of our disobedience. To refuse to preach out of fear is to prioritize temporary, earthly security over the eternal destiny of a soul. It is to stand in the way of the gospel, hindering a soul from hearing the very message that could save them from hell.

The Urgency of the Hour

The concluding warning is stark and necessary: our silence has eternal consequences. When we allow barriers of fear to silence us, we become complicit in preventing people from hearing the gospel, thus leaving them on the path to “eternal damnation.” This is not meant to condemn but to ignite a holy urgency. God is not asking for our life, as He did of the elderly man; He is often simply asking for our obedience and courage in the face of much smaller fears.

Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, forgive me for the times I have allowed the fear of man to silence my witness. Ignite in me the same compulsion that drove Paul and the early church. Holy Spirit, anoint me with power and give me divine strategies to preach good news to the meek, liberty to the captives, and to proclaim Your glory in my sphere of influence. Make me a fearless ambassador for Christ, in Jesus’ name.”

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your ‘Lion’: Honestly identify one relationship or situation where fear has prevented you from sharing your faith. Pray specifically for boldness in that area.
2. Pray for the Unreached: Commit to praying daily for nations where Christianity is persecuted, asking God to empower secret believers and give them creative ways to spread the gospel, just as RCCG does.
3. Prepare Your Testimony: Write down a 3-minute version of your testimony. Be ready to share what Christ has done in your life when the Holy Spirit provides an opportunity (1 Peter 3:15).
4. Step Out in Faith: This week, initiate a spiritual conversation with one person. It could be as simple as offering to pray for a need they have or sharing a verse that encouraged you.

Remember: The power of the gospel does not lie in our eloquence but in our obedience to proclaim it. God is not counting on your ability; He is counting on your availability. When you step out in faith, you are not alone; the same Spirit upon Jesus is upon you to preach good tidings.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD

MEMORISE:

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms 150:6

READ: Psalms 107:1-9

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 31 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

In 2 Samuel 6:14, the Bible says that David danced with all his might. God loved David so much and was always with him because he was always praising Him. Whenever demons tormented Saul and David played the harp, God’s presence would fill the room, and the demons would run away (1 Samuel 16:23).

Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. When you praise God regularly, demons cannot stay around you because once light comes in, darkness must flee (John 1:5).

Beloved, you must learn to praise God daily. In the Scriptures, you’ll find many reasons to praise Him. In Genesis 17:1, God calls Himself Jehovah Elshaddai, the God who is more than enough. In Genesis 18:9-14 and Jeremiah 32:27, He is revealed as the God of all flesh, with whom nothing is impossible. In Exodus 15:26, He introduced Himself as “…the Lord that healeth thee” because He is the Great Physician. In Psalm 24:7-10, He introduced Himself by two titles: The King of glory and the Lord of hosts.

In Psalm 23:1, He presents Himself as Jehovah Rohi, the Good Shepherd who provides everything you need. In Genesis 16:13, He is El-Roi, the All-seeing, All-knowing, everattentive God. He cares intimately about you and knows you by name (Exodus 33:17). In Jeremiah 32:17-19, He is El Gibhor, the mighty God who rescues. In Exodus 17:15, He is called Jehovah Nissi, your mighty banner of deliverance. In Isaiah 1:24, He is Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts; He fights visible and invisible battles on your behalf and gives you victory over the enemy.

According to Ezekiel 48:35, He is Jehovah Shammah, the ever-present One. He is always there when you need Him, and He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He is the Alpha and Omega of your life (Revelation 21:6); He always has the first and final say (Isaiah 44:6). He alone is God (Psalm 86:10);

He is always good (Psalm 73:1), ever faithful (Lamentations 3:23), all-sufficient (Genesis 17:1), and never changing (Malachi 3:6). God is your comforter (John 14:16), deliverer (2 Samuel 22:2), helper (Psalm 54:4), teacher (John 14:26), strength, and song (Exodus 15:2).

He is your very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and does exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). He saved you and will keep you until the end (Jude 1:24).

Beloved, you have breath in you; therefore, you have every reason to praise God.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 AUGUST ACTION POINT

Make a habit of praising God for His goodness and wonderful works every day.

HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Psalms 150:6

“Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
This verse establishes praise as creation’s mandate—every living being exists to glorify God.

BIBLE READING: Psalms 107:1-9

This passage reveals four foundational reasons to praise:

1. v.1: God’s goodness (“for He is good”)
2. v.2: Redemption testimony (“let the redeemed say so”)
3. v.8: Wonderful works (“Oh that men would praise Him!”)
4. v.9: Satisfaction (“filleth the hungry soul”)

---

The Power and Purpose of Praise

Daddy Adeboye’s teaching unfolds three dimensions of divine praise:

1. Praise as Warfare (2 Samuel 6:14, 1 Samuel 16:23)

• David’s Model:
  • Danced violently → God’s presence manifested
  • Played harp → Demons fled
• Spiritual Physics:
  • Praise = Light (John 1:5)
  • Darkness cannot coexist with true worship

2. The Names of God: A Praise Catalogue

Name	Meaning	Praise Focus
Jehovah Elshaddai	All-Sufficient One	“You’re more than enough!”
El-Roi	All-Seeing God	“You know my struggles!”
Jehovah Nissi	Banner of Victory	“You fight for me!”
Jehovah Shammah	Ever-Present	“You’re here right now!”

3. Praise as Divine Attraction (Psalm 22:3)

• Habitation Principle:
  • Continuous praise → Continuous presence
  • Result:
    • Demons cannot operate
    • Miracles become normal

---

How to Cultivate a Lifestyle of Praise

1. The 7-Day Praise Challenge

• Daily Focus: Meditate on one name of God
  • Monday: Jehovah Jireh (Provider)
  • Tuesday: Jehovah Rapha (Healer)
  • Wednesday: Jehovah Shalom (Peace)
  • Thursday: Jehovah Tsidkenu (Righteousness)
  • Friday: Jehovah Rohi (Shepherd)
  • Saturday: Jehovah Sabaoth (Lord of Hosts)
  • Sunday: Alpha & Omega (Beginning & End)

2. Create a “Praise Arsenal”

• Scripture Cards: Write verses about God’s names
• Worship Playlist: Songs that declare His attributes
• Praise Journal: Record daily reasons to thank Him

3. Practical Praise Actions

• Morning: Start with 10 mins of thanksgiving
• Driving: Replace radio with worship music
• Work Breaks: Whisper praises (e.g., “You are my healer!”)
• Bedtime: End the day with gratitude

---

Prayer for a Praise-Filled Life

“Father, ignite my heart with unquenchable praise! Where I’ve been silent, give me a song. Where darkness lingers, let my worship bring Your light. Make my life a continuous anthem of Your greatness, in Jesus’ name!”

Action Steps

1. Praise Audit:
   • Note how often you complain vs. praise daily
   • Replace one complaint habit with praise
2. Praise Walk:
   • Take a 15-minute walk praising God aloud
3. Praise Partner:
   • Find someone to exchange daily praise reports

---

Conclusion: Breath = Reason to Praise

Daddy Adeboye’s message resounds: As long as you have breath, you have a reason—and a command—to praise.

“Your praise isn’t just reaction to blessings; it’s the weapon that secures them.”

Mark 9:23

READ: Mark 16:17-18

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 30 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Paul persecuted Christians and threw some of them in prison (Acts 8:3). He considered himself the chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15); however, God transformed him and began to use him to perform special miracles (Acts 19:11-12). If God could use Paul, He can use you too. Acts 5:14-16 tells us that people laid the sick on the streets of Jerusalem so that whenever Peter was passing by, his shadow would fall on them, and they would be healed.

This was the same Peter who denied Jesus three times, but God restored him and began to use him mightily. If God could use Peter, He can use you too.

We were having a Holy Ghost Service at Redemption City when a woman got a phone call that her daughter had given birth to a set of twins, and she and the twins had died. The woman responded, “Don’t move them yet; please wait for me.” She ran to the hospital and asked to see the twins – she was shown their dead bodies. She took a bottle of oil and a handkerchief we had prayed over during the service, dropped some of the oil in the mouth of one of the dead twins, and said, “Come back here; who told you that you could die?” Within a few minutes, the baby coughed and came back to life. She did the same with the second baby, and the same thing happened.

After this, the entire hospital was in pandemonium. Around that time, her daughter’s body was being wheeled to the mortuary. She told those wheeling the body to stop, dropped some oil in her dead daughter’s mouth, put the handkerchief on her, and said,

“Who do you think is going to take care of your children? Don’t waste my time; come back!” Immediately, her daughter came back to life and sat up. God used her to bring three people back to life in one day. Beloved, God can use you to perform miracles too.

Today’s Bible reading says that these signs shall follow them that believe: they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues, lay hands on the sick, and bring healing to them by using the name of Jesus. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are the perfect candidate for God to use to perform signs and wonders. Be confident of His ability in you, and He will do great and marvellous things through you in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 30 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Mark 9:23

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
This verse establishes faith as the conduit for divine impossibilities—your belief activates God’s power.

BIBLE READING: Mark 16:17-18

This passage outlines four signs of believers:

1. Supernatural authority (cast out devils)
2. Heavenly language (speak with new tongues)
3. Divine health transfer (lay hands on the sick)
4. Death reversal (raise the dead—implied in “they shall recover”)

From Persecutor to Powerhouse: Your Miracle Potential

Daddy Adeboye’s teaching reveals three transformative truths:

1. The “Chief of Sinners” Turned Miracle Worker (Acts 19:11-12)

• Paul’s Resume:
  • Persecuted Christians (Acts 8:3)
  • Called himself “chief” sinner (1 Timothy 1:15)
  • Became a handkerchief conduit for miracles
• Your Reality:
  • Past failures ≠ Disqualification
  • Your testimony is raw material for miracles

2. The Shadow Miracle Phenomenon (Acts 5:15-16)

• Peter’s Journey:
  • Denied Christ 3x (Mark 14:66-72)
  • Restored (John 21:15-17)
  • Became so saturated with God that his shadow healed
• Key Lesson:
  • Spiritual osmosis—God’s power flows through saturated believers

3. The Triple Resurrection Testimony

Situation	Action	Result
Dead twins	Oil + command	Instant resurrection
Dead mother	Same method	Immediate revival
Hospital staff	Witnessed power	Mass conversion likely

Scientific Impossibility:

• Clinical death = No brain activity, no respiration
• Divine Reality: One word from a faith-filled believer reverses death

How to Walk in Miracle Power

1. The 3-Step Anointing Process

1. Receive Impartation:
   • Attend services where prayer cloths are blessed (Acts 19:11-12)
2. Activate Faith:
   • Speak to dead situations like the grandmother: “Who said you could die?”
3. Expect Results:
   • Don’t pray “if it be Thy will” for promised miracles (Mark 11:24)

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 29 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Some years ago, a woman, who was married to a very wealthy man, was barren. She and her husband sought a solution from everywhere and spent lots of money, but nothing changed. One day, one of her husband’s relatives told her to stop wasting her time because some witches had taken her womb, and she could never bear a child.

She came to a Holy Ghost Service, and God spoke, “There is someone here; you have just been told that you have no womb. Don’t worry because I will give you a set of twins.” Not long after that, she became pregnant. At the hospital, a doctor examined her and said, “It looks like there is a child here.”

She replied, “No, it’s not one child; God promised to give me a set of twins.” The doctor said, “You should be thanking God that there is even one.” She went back for another test about three months later, and the doctor said,

“There are two babies here.” When the time came for her to deliver, she was flown to one of the best hospitals abroad, and she requested a Caesarean Section. After bringing the babies out, the surgeon searched and could not find a womb inside the woman.

When she came around after the anaesthetics she was given wore off, the surgeon came to her and said, “I have performed more than 3,000 operations. This is the first time I am bringing a set of twins out of a woman who has no womb.”

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27

Beloved, no matter what anybody has said about the negative situations that might exist in your life, your case is not hopeless. When men say that a case is hopeless, it is because they have not met the God who turns hopeless cases around. Elisabeth’s barrenness seemed to be a hopeless case until God sent His angel to speak with her husband, Zechariah (Luke 1:5-25).

If the world has called you barren and labelled your situation hopeless, in the name that is above every other name, the Lord will visit you and change your story. If you have been weeping in sorrow, you will now weep for joy, in Jesus’ name. Don’t give up; put your trust firmly in God.

OPEN HEAVEN 29 AUGUST KEY POINT

No case is hopeless if you put your trust firmly in God.

HYMN 15: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Genesis 18:14

“Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
This verse establishes God’s unlimited power—no biological impossibility, medical diagnosis, or demonic pronouncement can void His promises.

BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 32:26-27

This passage confirms:

1. v.27: No restriction applies (“Behold, I am the LORD…is there anything too hard for Me?”)
2. v.26: Divine timing (“the word of the LORD came”)

When Medicine Meets Miracle

Daddy Adeboye’s testimony reveals four dimensions of God’s impossible interventions:

1. The Wombless Wonder

Medical Reality	Divine Reality
“No womb” diagnosis	Twins conceived
3,000+ surgeries precedent	First-time miracle
Witchcraft claim	God’s creative override

Scientific Shock:

• No uterus = No menstrual cycle → No natural pregnancy possible
• Yet: Live birth of twins (requires womb for gestation)

2. Biblical Parallels

• Sarah (Genesis 21:1-2):
  • Dead womb → Isaac at 90 years
• Hannah (1 Samuel 1:19-20):
  • Barren → Samuel after years of shame
• Elizabeth (Luke 1:36):
  • Postmenopausal → John the Baptist

3. The “Hopeless Case” Protocol

1. Divine Pronouncement (Holy Ghost Service prophecy)
2. Contradictory Evidence (doctor’s initial skepticism)
3. Supernatural Confirmation (twins without womb)

4. The God Factor

• Man’s Limit: “You should be grateful for one”
• God’s Power: “I said twins” (Isaiah 55:11)

How to Activate Your Impossible Miracle

1. The 3-Fold Faith Response

1. Receive God’s Word:
   • Claim Genesis 18:14 over your situation
2. Rebuke Contradictions:
   • “My report says ______, but God says ______!”
3. Prepare for Manifestation:
   • Buy baby clothes for promised children
   • Study for the degree doctors said you’d never earn

2. Create a “Miracle Memorial”

• Physical Reminder:
  • Frame ultrasound photos with Jeremiah 32:27
  • Keep hospital bills as testimony props
• Spiritual Marker:
  • Anoint your body where healing is needed

3. The “Wombless Woman” Prayer

“Father, You who formed Adam from dust and twins without a womb, recreate what’s missing in my life! Where experts see absence, manifest Your presence. Do what makes surgeons marvel, in Jesus’ name!”

---

Prayer for Your Breakthrough

“God of Sarah and the wombless mother, I bring You my ‘impossible’ case today! Reverse every negative report, override biological limits, and shame demonic pronouncements. Let my testimony send shockwaves through medical journals, in Jesus’ name!”

Action Steps

1. Diagnosis vs. Promise Chart:
   • Left Column: Doctor’s/witch’s report
   • Right Column: God’s promise (find Scripture)
2. Daily Confession:
   “With men it’s impossible—but with God, my twins are coming!”
3. Testimony Prep:
   • Write your future testimony in present tense
   • Record video declaring your miracle

Conclusion: Your Case Isn’t Closed

Daddy Adeboye’s message thunders: Human hopelessness is God’s opportunity to show off.

TOPIC: EVERLASTING SOLUTION

MEMORISE

For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37

READ: Acts 3:1-11

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 28 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

There are certain conditions that people call long-standing problems. These are problems that have lingered for so long that it seems there is no solution to them. Well, I want to introduce you to the One who is older than the oldest. He is the Everlasting Solution to every long-standing problem because He has been in existence long before any problem existed.

Today’s Bible reading tells us of a man who was born lame. When you hear that a grownup man was born lame, you know that it is a long-standing problem that no one has been able to solve. As Peter and John were about to go into the temple, he asked them for alms.

Peter said, “Silver and gold, I have not, but l will give you what I have.” Then, he said, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Suddenly, the man who had never walked all his life began to walk and jump and praise God. The Bible says that when he entered the temple, everybody looked at him in amazement because they all knew he had been lame since birth, and none of them had imagined that there was a solution to his problem.

In Mark 5:2-19, we read of a madman who was living in a graveyard. He had been mad for a while, and everybody knew him; he seemed to be a hopeless case. Then, he encountered Jesus Christ, and with just one word, he was set free. When the people in the region came and saw the man who used to be mad, sitting, well-dressed, and in his right mind, they were afraid. The Everlasting Solution came on the scene and solved the man’s long-standing madness instantly.

Likewise, in John 5:1-9, there was a man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years. This man had a permanent spot by the Pool of Bethesda, and every time the angel came to stir the water, he missed his opportunity to be healed. However, when his long-standing problem encountered the Everlasting Solution, it disappeared immediately.

Beloved, if you have been encountering problems that have lingered for a long time, Jesus is all you need. He is the Everlasting Solution to every ancient problem, and He is willing and able to put an end to all the problems you might be facing once you have genuinely submitted your life to Him.

Lord Jesus, please visit me today and bring an end to any longstanding problem in my life.

HYMN 58: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING ELSE

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 28 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Luke 1:37

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
This verse declares God’s timeless power—no problem, no matter how ancient or entrenched, can resist His intervention.

BIBLE READING: Acts 3:1-11

This passage reveals three phases of divine breakthrough:

1. v.2-5: Human helplessness (lame from birth, begging daily)
2. v.6: Divine encounter (“In the name of Jesus Christ…”)
3. v.8-10: Public transformation (walking, leaping, praising God)

The Everlasting Solution to Ancient Problems

Daddy Adeboye’s teaching spotlights four cases where God shattered “permanent” conditions:

1. The Lame Man (Acts 3:1-11)

• Condition: Congenital disability (40+ years)
• Solution: One command in Jesus’ name
• Result: Instant mobility + public testimony

2. The Gadarene Demoniac (Mark 5:2-19)

• Condition: Decades of insanity (self-mutilation)
• Solution: Jesus’ word (“Come out of the man!”)
• Result: Clothed, sane, evangelizing

3. The 38-Year Invalid (John 5:1-9)

• Condition: Chronic infirmity (lifelong suffering)
• Solution: “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk”
• Result: Immediate strength + religious controversy

4. The Common Thread

• Problem Duration: Irrelevant to God
• Human Label: “Hopeless case” means nothing
• Divine Method: Instantaneous transformation

---

How to Access Your Breakthrough

1. The 3-Step Faith Response

1. Recognize His Timelessness:
   • Pray: “Father, You existed before this problem—end it today!”
2. Demand Specific Intervention:
   • Like Peter: “In Jesus’ name, [name your issue] be gone!”
3. Activate Your Miracle:
   • Like the lame man: Attempt what was impossible

2. Destroy “Permanent” Mindsets

• Renounce These Lies:
  • “This is just my lot in life”
  • “I’ve prayed for years—nothing changes”
• Replace With:
  • “One word from God can rewrite my history!”

3. Create a “Bethesda Moment”

• For chronic issues:
  1. Identify your “pool” (where you’ve waited in vain)
  2. Shift focus to Jesus (not angel-stirred waters)
  3. Obey His command (even if it seems irrational)

Prayer for Instant Breakthrough

*”Everlasting Father, invade my timeline! Where problems have outlived doctors, pastors, and counselors, speak Your life-giving word. Let my ‘lame legs’ walk, my ‘mad mind’ find peace, and my ’38-year condition’ crumble today—in Jesus’ name!”*

Action Steps

1. Chronic Problem Inventory:
   • List 1 “permanent” issue
   • Write Luke 1:37 beside it with today’s date
2. Public Declaration Plan:
   • Prepare your testimony (like the lame man)
   • Who needs to see your miracle?
3. Daily Activation:
   • Attempt something “impossible” each morning
   • (e.g., pain-free movement, calm thoughts, etc.)

---

Conclusion: Your Turn for a Timeless Miracle

Daddy Adeboye’s message thunders: No problem outlives God’s power to solve it.

“That condition may be older than you—but it’s a newborn compared to your Eternal Solution!”

OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS

MEMORISE:

For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:11

READ: Matthew 8:5-13

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34); whatever He has done for somebody else before, He can do for you also. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-16, there was a widow who had only one meal left. God paid her a visit, and that final meal lasted another three years.

In 2 Kings 4:1-7, there was another widow who had only one pot of oil. The Lord moved in her situation, and the oil kept multiplying until there was enough to sell to pay all her debts and live on for her lifetime. If you’ve seen God do something you desire for somebody, take that as an assurance that He can do the same for you. When you come across an account of a kind of miracle that you desire in the Scriptures, rejoice because your own miracle is on its way.

As long as they’re His children, God isn’t partial to anyone or any type of people; all that matters to Him is that you believe, because all things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23). God is a God of principles, and anyone who follows His principles and has faith in Him will experience His goodness and power.

Jesus couldn’t do many mighty works in His hometown because of the people’s unbelief (Matthew 13:58). Even though they were His townspeople, as long as they didn’t have faith, they couldn’t receive miracles. Unbelief closed the doors of miracles to them, and Jesus, who had the Holy Spirit without measure (John 3:34), could only heal a few sick people (Mark 6:5). No matter how close you think you are to God, if you harbour unbelief, you may limit what He can do in your life and through you.

When someone has faith, regardless of the fellow’s nationality, ability, or status, he or she will experience great miracles. When Jesus was on earth, while some Jews were dying in their sicknesses because of their unbelief, some Gentiles were receiving jaw-dropping miracles. The Centurion in today’s Bible reading is an example of a Gentile whose faith attracted miracles. He understood that distance isn’t a barrier when faith is present, and Jesus was amazed at his great faith.

Beloved, if you have faith in God concerning a miracle you’ve seen or read about, God is able to replicate the same in your life. It doesn’t matter how terrible your situation is or the obstacles that surround you; if you believe, you will see God’s glory at work (John 11:40).

OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST KEY POINT

God is no respecter of persons. He only respects and responds to His principles and our faith.

HYMN 35: ’TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Romans 2:11

“For there is no respect of persons with God.”
This verse declares God’s impartiality—His power flows to all who meet His conditions, regardless of status, race, or background.

BIBLE READING: Matthew 8:5-13

This passage reveals three faith principles:

1. v.8: Authority recognition (“speak the word only”)
2. v.10: Faith astonishes Jesus (“great faith”)
3. v.13: Distance irrelevant (“as thou hast believed…done”)

---

The Faith That Accesses God’s Power

Daddy Adeboye’s teaching unveils four keys to experiencing miracles:

1. The Widow Blueprint

1 Kings 17 Widow	2 Kings 4 Widow	Your Miracle
Last meal → 3-year supply	Last oil → Lifetime wealth	Your “last” becomes “first” of overflow
Required obedience (v.13)	Required action (v.3-4)	Requires your specific step

Modern Application:

• Financial crisis? → Claim Philippians 4:19
• Health failure? → Stand on 1 Peter 2:24

2. The Nazareth Warning (Matthew 13:58)

• Tragic Reality:
  • Jesus could not (not would not) do miracles
  • Unbelief disabled divine power
• Self-Check:
  • Are my doubts limiting God?
  • Do I secretly think “He helped others but won’t help me”?

3. The Centurion’s Faith Formula

1. Recognized Authority (v.8):
   • Understood Jesus’ unlimited power
2. Transcended Tradition (v.9):
   • As Gentile, accessed Jewish Messiah
3. Spoke Faith (v.8):
   • “Speak the word only”

4. The “No Favorites” Promise

• For Everyone:
  • The same God who:
    • Parted Red Sea (Exodus 14)
    • Healed cancer (Daddy Adeboye’s testimony)
  • Will do it for YOU if you believe (Mark 9:23)

---

How to Activate Your Miracle

1. The 3-Step Faith Process

1. Identify Your “Widow’s Oil”:
   • What little do you have? (Time? Skills? $5?)
2. Obey Specifically:
   • Like gathering vessels (2 Kings 4:3)
3. Expect Overflow:
   • “According to your faith” (Matthew 9:29)

2. Destroy Unbelief Strongholds

• Renounce:
  • “God helped others but not me” lies
• Replace With:
  • “If He did it for them, He’ll do it for me!” (Acts 10:34)

3. Speak Like the Centurion

• Pray:
  “Lord, I don’t need You to come—just SPEAK the word!”
• Confess Daily:
  “My miracle is already done in the spirit—now manifest!”

---

Prayer for Breakthrough Faith

“Father, smash every ‘Nazareth mindset’ in me! Give me Centurion faith that makes You marvel. Where I’ve seen You move for others, stir holy hunger for my own miracle. Let my story become someone else’s faith booster, in Jesus’ name!”

Action Steps

1. Create a “Miracle Map”:
   • List 3 miracles God did for biblical characters/others
   • Write your name beside each with today’s date
2. Fast from Doubt-Talk:
   • 3 days without saying “can’t,” “impossible,” or “but…”
3. Activate Your “Oil”:
   • Take your “little” (time/talent/treasure) and:
     • Pray over it
     • Put it to work (like the widows)

---

Conclusion: Your Turn for Wonders

Daddy Adeboye’s message thunders: God’s resume isn’t complete until He replicates others’ miracles in YOUR life.

“The same God who fed widows and amazed a centurion waits to write YOUR faith story—will you hand Him the pen?”

TOPIC: WONDERFUL II

MEMORISE:

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exodus 15:11

READ: Psalms 77:13-20

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

In Daniel 6:27, the king said, “There is no God like the God of Daniel who rescued him from the den of lions. He does wonders.”

Moses and the Israelites sang the words in today’s memory verse to testify of God’s wonders after He delivered them from the Egyptians.

They had been camped before the Red Sea, and the mighty Egyptian army came in pursuit of them to take them back into slavery. They had nowhere to go, but God instructed Moses to lift his rod over the sea, and suddenly, it parted for them to walk through to the other side on dry ground.

They got to the other side and looked behind them to see the Egyptian army, who had pursued them into the midst of the sea, drowning in the same waters that parted for them. If you were there on that day, you would not need to be told that God is indeed a God of wonders.

God does things that make people marvel. I once travelled abroad, and when I landed at the airport, I didn’t see a particular son of mine whom I was so sure would be among those who came to welcome me. I asked about him and was told that he was dying at a hospital.

I said, “Let’s stop by the hospital.” When we got there, we were led into a room where terminally ill patients – those whom the doctors had labelled as ‘sure to die’ – were kept. Patients who go into that room usually don’t come out alive. My son had a PSA (something in the body that doctors use to diagnose cancer) over 4,000! The normal PSA in a man’s body is supposed to be less than 10.

When it approaches 100, the doctors suspect cancer, and when it gets to 300, the cancer is diagnosed as terminal. In that country, you are not allowed to pray for anybody who doesn’t request your prayers, so even though there were many people in that room with my son, I prayed for only him and left. It was on a Saturday, and by Wednesday, he had been discharged from the hospital. However, the greater wonder was that everybody in that room when I went in there was also discharged on the same day.

Beloved, if you’re reading this and the world has concluded that there is no hope for you concerning some situations in your life, the God of wonders will surprise them, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST PRAYER POINT

Call on the God of wonders to turn around seemingly impossible situations in your life or the lives of those around you today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 9-12

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 26 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Exodus 15:11

“Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
This triumphant declaration captures God’s unrivaled power—no force in heaven or earth can match His wonder-working ability.

BIBLE READING: Psalms 77:13-20

This passage recounts four ways God works wonders:

1. v.14: Through miraculous displays (“Thou hast declared Thy strength among the people”)
2. v.16: By natural upheavals (“the waters saw Thee, they were afraid”)
3. v.19: In hidden ways (“Thy footsteps were not known”)
4. v.20: Through human vessels (“Thou leddest Thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses”)

The God Who Specializes in Impossible Wonders

Daddy Adeboye’s testimony reveals three explosive dimensions of divine wonders:

1. The Red Sea Standard (Exodus 14:21-28)

• The Setup:
  • 2 million Israelites trapped
  • Egyptian chariots closing in
  • No human escape possible
• The Wonder:
  • Sea parts → Dry ground appears
  • Walls of water stand firm
  • Enemy drowns in same waters

Modern Application:
Your “Red Sea” (debts, sickness, oppression) is raw material for God’s next wonder.

2. The Cancer Ward Miracle

Medical Reality	Divine Intervention
PSA 4,000+ (certain death)	Instant healing triggered
Terminal ward (no survivors)	Empty beds within days
Legal prayer restrictions	Overflow anointing

Scientific Shock:
A PSA drop from 4,000 to normal defies all medical literature—only explainable by divine touch.

3. The Ripple Effect Principle

• Primary Target: Daddy Adeboye’s son
• Collateral Impact:
  • Every terminal patient discharged
  • No direct prayer for them
  • Proof: God’s presence radiates (Acts 5:15)

---

How to Position Yourself for Wonders

1. The 3-Fold Faith Posture

1. Face Your Red Sea:
   • Stop panicking → Stand still (Exodus 14:13)
2. Lift Your Rod:
   • Exercise authority (Mark 11:23)
3. March Forward:
   • Act before seeing full breakthrough (Joshua 3:15)

2. Create a “Wonders Journal”

• Record:
  1. Past miracles (yours/biblical)
  2. Current “impossible” situations
  3. Blank pages for testimonies

3. The “Terminal Ward” Prayer Strategy

• For hopeless cases:
  1. Declare: “This is God’s wonder-zone!”
  2. Command: “Every mountain, be removed!” (Mark 11:23)
  3. Expect: Overflow impact (Matthew 14:36)

Prayer for Your Personal Wonder

1. Identify Your “Red Sea”:
   • Name 1 situation needing divine intervention
   • Write Exodus 15:11 beside it
2. Study Wonders Nightly:
   • 1 Old Testament miracle + 1 modern testimony
3. Anoint Your Home:
   • Use oil to mark doors/windows as “wonder zones”

Conclusion: Living as a Walking Wonder

Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: With God, there’s no “terminal”—only testimonies waiting to happen.

“Your crisis is God’s invitation to stage His next wonder—will you hand Him the script or the sceptre?”

OPEN HEAVEN 25 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: WONDERFUL I

MEMORISE:

O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faith fulness and truth.
Isaiah 25:1

READ: John 11:38-45

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Wonderful means ‘full of wonders’. God is such a wonder that the Bible calls Him Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6).

Years ago, I was travelling from Ibadan to Ilorin within Western Nigeria, and there was this narrow bridge along the way that couldn’t contain two vehicles driving side by side at the same time. There was a sign which read, ‘Narrow Bridge Ahead,’ so that when drivers approached the bridge and saw another vehicle on the bridge coming in the opposite direction, they could wait for the vehicle to pass through. On this day, my driver and I were already on the bridge, and a trailer was coming from the other side at great speed.

The driver was supposed to stop for us to pass to the other side, but for unknown reasons, he didn’t. We were headed for a collision, and there was no time to pray; we could only shout,

“Jesus!” We met in the middle of the bridge, and somehow, the vehicles passed by each other. When we got to the other side, my driver was shaking like a jellyfish as he parked the car. If he had looked behind him, he would have noticed I was shaking even more than he was. When he regained his composure, I had also regained mine a bit. He turned to me and asked, “Daddy, what happened?” | replied,

“God enlarged the bridge.” Throughout the rest of our journey, he kept saying,

“Wonderful!” and I told him, “That’s His name.”

Everything about God is wonderful. His works are wonderful (Psalm 107:8) – He created the heavens and the earth in just six days! Psalm 40:5 also tells us that many are His wonderful works, and they cannot be numbered. His testimonies are also wonderful (Psalm 119:129) – He parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22) and caused the formidable walls of Jericho to crumble on their own (Joshua 6:20). His knowledge is wonderful (Psalm 139:6). His counsel is also wonderful (Isaiah 28:29) – you can never find a greater or better adviser than the Almighty God. Even when His counsel appears foolish to the human mind, it is infinitely wiser than the wisdom of men (1 Corinthians 1:25).

My wonderful God does great wonders. I pray for you today; you will experience His wonders before this year ends. When Lazarus came back to life after four days in the grave, it was a wonder. My wonderful God will visit every dead matter in your life and cause you to experience great wonders, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 AUGUST REFLECTION

Father, please stretch Your wonderful hands towards me and cause me to experience great wonders, in Jesus’ name.

Ezekiel 5-8

HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 25 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Isaiah 25:1

“O LORD, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.”
This verse captures God’s wonder-working nature—His actions defy natural laws yet align perfectly with His eternal wisdom.

BIBLE READING: John 11:38-45

Lazarus’ resurrection demonstrates four facets of God’s wonders:

1. v.39: Human impossibility (“by this time he stinks”)
2. v.41: Divine partnership (“Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me”)
3. v.43: Creative command (“Lazarus, come forth!”)
4. v.44: Transformational result (“he that was dead came forth”)

The God of Impossible Bridges

Daddy Adeboye’s testimony reveals three dimensions of God’s wonder-working power:

1. The Narrow Bridge Miracle

• Natural Reality:
  • Physics said: Collision inevitable
  • Space was: Mathematically insufficient
• Divine Intervention:
  • “Enlarged the bridge” (Psalm 77:19)
  • Mechanism: Either:
    • Spatial expansion (like Joshua 10:13)
    • Time dilation (like Hezekiah’s sundial – 2 Kings 20:11)

2. The “Wonderful” Name Breakdown

Attribute	Scripture	Modern Manifestation
Works	Psalm 107:8	Creative miracles (new organs)
Wisdom	1 Cor. 1:25	Divine strategies in crises
Power	Exodus 14:21	Sudden breakthroughs
Timing	John 11:6	“4th-day” interventions

3. The Lazarus Protocol

1. Acknowledge the Stink (v.39):
   • Don’t sugarcoat dead situations
2. Remove the Stone (v.41):
   • Eliminate faith barriers
3. Shout the Command (v.43):
   • Speak to dead areas (finances, health, etc.)
4. Loose & Let Go (v.44):
   • Remove grave clothes of past trauma

---

How to Experience God’s Wonders

1. Cultivate Wonder Expectancy

• Daily Declaration:
  “Today, I expect one wonder from my Wonderful God!”
• Testimony Journal:
  Record past wonders to fuel future faith

2. The 3-Second Crisis Prayer

When sudden danger strikes:

1. Shout: “JESUS!” (Acts 4:12)
2. Trust: His unseen intervention (2 Kings 6:17)
3. Testify: Immediately (Psalm 107:2)

3. Apply the Lazarus Strategy

• Dead Career? Command resurrection (John 11:43)
• Stinking Relationship? Pray removing the “stone” of offense
• Bound by Failure? Demand grave clothes removed

---

Prayer for Your Wonder

“Wonderful Counselor, visit my impossible situations today! Where bridges need widening, stretch dimensions. Where death reigns, shout resurrection power. Do what only You can do—make me a living testimony of Your wonder-working power, in Jesus’ name!”

Action Steps

1. Identify Your “Narrow Bridge”:
   • List 1 seemingly impossible situation
   • Write: “God will enlarge this bridge on [date]”
2. Study Wonders Daily:
   • 1 Old Testament miracle + 1 New Testament miracle
3. Create a “Wonder Jar”:
   • Drop notes of future wonders expected
   • Remove/add as God answers

---

Conclusion: Living in the Realm of Wonders

Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: With God, “narrow bridges” become platforms for glory.

“Your crisis is God’s opportunity to add another ‘Wonderful’ to His resume through your testimony.”

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: DON’T BE EMPTY

MEMORISE:

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Ephesians 5:18

READ: Acts 19:12-16

12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

A few weeks ago, I mentioned in this devotional that if it is possible to be filled with the Holy Spirit, it is also possible to be empty.

The Lord, however, does not want His children to be empty. In 1 Samuel 16:1, God told Samuel,

“Arise, fill thy horn with oil,” meaning that the horn was empty and needed to be filled.

In 1 Samuel 16:14, after David had been anointed as king, the Spirit of God departed from Saul, and because nature abhors a vacuum, an evil spirit took over. Being empty of the Holy Spirit is a dangerous state; therefore, you must avoid anything that can lead to that. I pray that you will never be empty of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name.

Years ago, something happened at ljebu-Ode, a town in Ogun State, Nigeria. There was a little misunderstanding between our parish members over there and some occultic people, and the latter decided to put shigidi (a crude figurine used by the occult to invoke an evil spirit to cause havoc on their targets) in front of the parish. When it was discovered, one of my spiritual sons destroyed it with a cutlass. If he had been empty spiritually, he might have died immediately. The occultic people then decided to come to the church for a physical confrontation. When one of them entered the church, he took a step forward and staggered. On taking another step, he fell.

Beloved, the devil is roaming about, looking for whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8). So as not to be his victim, you must always be full of the Holy Spirit. No matter how hard he tries, you will always win against him if you’re always filled with the Holy Spirit.

The seven sons of Sceva in today’s Bible reading were empty fellows. They wanted to cast out a demon and thought they would succeed just by commanding it to leave in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preached. They went before the demon-possessed man empty and were disgraced. People who think they can replicate good results without paying the necessary price always get themselves into trouble. Being empty of God’s power and presence is a dangerous state to be in because evil spirits are always looking for empty places to dwell (Matthew 12:43-45).

Don’t give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27); don’t allow evil spirits to take over your vessel.

Ensure you always remain filled with the Holy Spirit so you can always walk in victory.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 AUGUST KEY POINT

You must always be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is dangerous to be empty.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Ezekiel 1-4

HYMN 8: I Need Thee Every Hour

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 24 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY

MEMORISE: Ephesians 5:18

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.”
This verse presents Spirit-fullness as God’s command, not suggestion—a continuous state of divine intoxication that leaves no room for evil infiltration.

BIBLE READING: Acts 19:12-16

This passage exposes three dangers of spiritual emptiness:

1. v.13-14: Counterfeit power (Sceva’s sons’ failed exorcism)
2. v.15: Demonic discernment (“Jesus I know…but who are you?”)
3. v.16: Humiliating defeat (naked and wounded)

The Perils of Empty Vessels

Daddy Adeboye’s teaching reveals four critical truths about spiritual fullness:

1. The Samuel Principle (1 Samuel 16:1, 14)

• Horn of Oil:
  • Empty horn = No anointing for kingship
  • Filled horn = David’s divine empowerment
• Saul’s Tragedy:
  • Spirit departed → Evil spirit entered
  • Spiritual Law: Vacuum invites invasion (Matthew 12:43-45)

2. The Ijebu-Ode Deliverance

• Occult Attack: Shigidi figurine placed at church
• Victorious Response:
  • Fullness of Spirit → Authority to destroy (Luke 10:19)
  • Divine Backfire: Occultist collapsed upon entry
• Modern Parallel:
  • Social media curses → Neutralized by prayer-filled saints

3. The Sceva Syndrome (Acts 19:13-16)

Full Believers	Empty Professors
Cast out demons (Mark 16:17)	Get cast out by demons
Demons tremble (James 2:19)	Tremble before demons
Walk in power	Walk in shame

4. Daily Maintenance Required

• Like Cell Phones:
  • Morning charge → Full day’s power
  • Skip charging → Dead by afternoon
• Spiritual Parallel:
  • Daily prayer/tongues → Sustained authority
  • Neglect → Vulnerability to attacks

---

How to Stay Continually Filled

1. The 3-Fill Daily Strategy

1. Morning Infilling:
   • 15 mins worship + tongues (Acts 2:4)
2. Midday Check:
   • 5 mins “Spirit top-up” (Psalm 23:5)
3. Night Seal:
   • Repentance + fresh anointing (Psalm 51:10-12)

2. Recognize Drainage Points

• Sinful Leaks: Unconfessed sin (Isaiah 59:2)
• Emotional Siphons: Unforgiveness (Mark 11:25)
• Negligent Drain: Prayerlessness (Matthew 26:41)

3. Create “No Vacancy” Signs

• Home: Anoint doors/windows with oil (Exodus 30:29)
• Body: Daily declaration: “I’m filled with the Spirit—no room for demons!”
• Devices: Pray over phones/laptops (they’re spiritual gateways)

---

Prayer for Permanent Fullness

“Father, make me a Spirit-saturated believer! Where I’ve leaked power, seal me anew. Let my life scream ‘NO VACANCY’ to demons, just like the Ijebu-Ode victory. Keep me drunk on You until my shadow heals and my presence terrifies hell, in Jesus’ name!”

Action Steps

1. Conduct a “Horn Check”:
   • Rate your current Spirit-level (1-10)
   • Identify 1 drainage source to fix today
2. Start a “Fill Log”:
   • Record daily:
     • Time spent in Spirit-filled prayer
     • Spiritual victories/attacks
3. Emergency Refill Protocol:
   • When feeling drained:
     1. 5 mins tongues
     2. Psalm 23 aloud
     3. Anoint forehead with oil

---

Conclusion: Stay Too Full to Fail

Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: Spiritual fullness isn’t luxury—it’s survival.

“Empty believers beg demons for mercy; Spirit-drunk believers command storms to hush. Which will you be?”
