OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE LAW OF HARVEST
MEMORISE:
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22
READ: 1 Corinthians 15:37-44
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
The law of harvest is one of the most powerful laws created by God. It states that ‘whatever a person sows is what he or she will reap’ (Galatians 6:7), and it is so powerful that God applied it to Himself when He wanted more children.
John 12:24 says a corn of wheat must first be sown into the ground and die before it can bring forth much fruit.
So God sowed His only begotten son (Jesus Christ), so that He might gain many more children, and Jesus would become the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29).
Many years ago, there was a man in Nigeria who would hand out cash to people randomly wherever he went. People followed him everywhere he went because they knew that he would give them money. Some people wondered if he was mad, but he wasn’t; he only discovered that the more he gave out money, the more he received. Anyone who truly discovers the secret of the law of harvest would never be begged to give.
The law of harvest is so powerful that when a person sows a seed of kindness or wickedness, the fellow will harvest what he or she has sown in bountiful folds. Nobody sows a grain of corn and harvests a grain; if you sow a grain of corn, the least harvest you can expect is a cob of corn with many grains.
Job 4:8 says “…they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.” People who spend their time scheming to harm others will eventually fall into the traps they created. Likewise, if you sow kindness, you will reap an abundance of kindness. Hosea 10:12 says that when people sow in righteousness, they will reap in mercy.
Beloved, one thing you must constantly sow as a believer is good works. Dorcas could never have known that the harvest of her good works towards the widows in her community would come in the form of her being resurrected from the dead (Acts 9:36-42) – that is another mystery about the law of harvest.
Today’s Bible reading tells us that whatever is sown often returns in another form because God gives the seed a body as He pleases.
Dorcas’ seed of kindness returned in a bigger, better form as God’s gift of resurrection. Keep sowing good works, and watch God repay you in ways beyond your wildest imagination.
KEY POINT
You will reap what you sow; therefore, sow good works everywhere you go.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 1 SEPTEMBER 2026 COMMENTARY
Hello there, my dear brother/sister in Christ. It is a joy to dive into today’s message with you. In this Open Heaven devotional, Daddy Adeboye teaches us about a principle that governs the entire universe: The Law of Harvest.
Understanding the Law of Harvest
Pastor starts by reminding us of a fundamental truth from Genesis 8:22: as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will never cease. This isn’t just about farming; it’s a spiritual law that affects every area of your life.
Daddy points out that even God Almighty respects this law. Think about it: God wanted more children, so what did He do? He didn’t just wish for them. According to John 12:24, He sowed His only begotten Son, Jesus, like a grain of wheat into the earth. Because He sowed Jesus, He reaped a harvest of millions of children—including you and me!.
The Multiplication Effect
One beautiful thing Pastor highlights is that your harvest is always bigger than your seed. If you plant one grain of corn, you don’t get one grain back; you get a whole cob with hundreds of grains. This applies to everything:
- Kindness: If you sow a little kindness today, God will make sure you reap an abundance of it when you need it most.
- Wickedness: On the flip side, Daddy warns us using Job 4:8 that those who “plow iniquity” will reap the same. If someone spends their time trying to trip others up, they are actually digging a pit for themselves.
Real-Life and Biblical Examples
Daddy shares a story about a man in Nigeria who was famous for giving out money to strangers. People thought he was crazy, but he wasn’t. He had simply discovered that the more he gave, the more he received. He was working the law!
In the Bible, we see this with a woman named Dorcas. She didn’t just “go to church”; she sowed seeds of “good works” by making clothes for widows. When she died, those widows cried out to God, and her harvest came in a way she never expected—she was raised from the dead!. Sometimes, your harvest won’t look like your seed; God might take your “seed” of money or time and give you a “harvest” of long life, health, or a miracle.
Everyday Life Application
In your daily life, remember that every word you speak and every action you take is a seed. When you help a colleague at work, you are sowing. When you give a smile to a stranger, you are sowing. Don’t be weary in doing good, because your harvest is coming, and it will be “bountiful”.
Action Steps
- Identify Your Seeds: Look at your life today. What have you been sowing? If you don’t like the harvest you see (like constant conflict), change the seeds you are planting (start sowing peace).
- Sow Purposefully: Don’t wait to be begged. Find a need today—whether it’s financial, emotional, or spiritual—and meet it.
- Study the Word: Read 1 Corinthians 15:37-44 to understand how God transforms our small, natural seeds into glorious, spiritual harvests.
Prayer Points
- Father, please forgive me for every seed of wickedness or unkindness I have sown in the past. Let Your mercy prevail over judgment in my life.
- Lord, give me the grace to be a consistent sower of good works, just like Dorcas, everywhere I go.
- Father, help me to trust You with my seeds, knowing that You are the one who gives the increase and brings the harvest in Your perfect time.
- Lord, let my harvest be glorious and beyond my wildest imagination, to the glory of Your holy name
