OPEN HEAVEN 11 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: GOD DOESN’T IGNORE TRUE WORSHIPPERS
MEMORISE:
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Psalms 5:7
READ: Matthew 8:2-4:
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately hisleprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 11 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
In Matthew 15:21-28, when a Canaanite woman came to Jesus to ask Him to deliver her daughter from a demon, she came worshipping. I believe that her genuine worship and faith in Jesus Christ helped her obtain the miracle she requested.
In today’s Bible reading, a leper came to Jesus and worshipped Him. Jesus touched him and spoke healing to him; his worship attracted a physical touch from Jesus. The man’s condition was hopeless until he met Jesus and worshipped Him. He bowed down as a leper to worship Jesus; however, by the time he finished worshipping and got up, he had been made whole. Your worship will make you a candidate for God’s personal touch, and when God touches a fellow, his or her life is transformed positively.
Jesus said in John 4:23:
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is not seeking part-time worshippers; rather, he is seeking those who will make worship their lifestyle. He wants those who will keep breaking their alabaster box and pouring their sweet fragrance of worship upon Him (Mark 14:3).
When you worship God, you should put all your attention on Him. It is not about what you can get from Him; it is about who He is. When you make God the centre of your life and delight yourself in Him in the place of worship, He will not withhold anything from you.
I have always told my children that everyone else may see miracles happening around them, but worshippers always experience miracles in their lives. When you are a worshipper, the testimonies you read of in the Scriptures and hear about will become your daily experience.
Whenever a true worshipper prays, God is always quick to answer. When you worship, demons flee from you because they cannot dare to stay in a place where God is. This is the explanation for what happened in 1 Samuel 16:23:
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Beloved, live a holy life and spend quality time worshipping God daily for who He is and not just for what you want to gain from Him. When this becomes your lifestyle, you will see Him perform mighty wonders in your life.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 11 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalm 5:7
“But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.”
This verse captures the heart of a true worshipper: one who approaches God based on His mercy, with reverential awe, and with a singular focus on His holiness. It is a declaration of intent to prioritize worship above all else.
BIBLE READING: Matthew 8:2-4
This passage exemplifies the power of worship to initiate divine encounter:
v. 2: The Leper’s Approach: He worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.”
v. 3: Jesus’ Response: Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, “I will; be thou clean.”
v. 4: The Result: Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Worship positioned him for a personal touch and instantaneous miracle.
The Transformative Power of Worship
Pastor E.A. Adeboye illuminates the profound truth that worship is far more than songs; it is a spiritual posture that attracts God’s tangible presence and power. It is the key that unlocks the miraculous and transforms the worshipper’s life from the inside out.
The Nature of True Worship
- Worship is God-Centered: True worship is not about our needs but about God’s worthiness. It focuses on “who He is,” not “what we can get.” The Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:22) and the leper began by acknowledging Christ’s lordship and power.
- Worship is in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23): It transcends ritual; it is a genuine encounter from the heart, aligned with the truth of God’s Word. It is an expression of love, adoration, and reverence for God’s nature and character.
- Worship is a Lifestyle: God seeks full-time worshippers, not occasional participants. It is a continuous attitude of the heart that manifests in praise, obedience, and the offering of our lives as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1).
The Miraculous Outcomes of Worship
1. It Attracts God’s Personal Touch:
The leper’s worship moved Jesus to do the unthinkable—touch an untouchable. Worship breaks through barriers and positions you for a divine encounter that changes everything. God’s touch brings healing, deliverance, and transformation.
2. It Makes You a Miracle Magnet:
While others see miracles, worshippers experience them personally. A lifestyle of worship ensures that the testimaries you hear about become your daily reality because you constantly dwell in the environment (God’s presence) where miracles are natural.
3. It Guarantees Answered Prayer:
When worship precedes petition, it aligns your heart with God’s will and demonstrates faith in His character. It ushers you into the throne room with confidence, making God quick to answer (Hebrews 4:16).
4. It Releases Deliverance and Freedom:
Demons cannot operate in the atmosphere of pure worship. As David’s worship drove the evil spirit from Saul (1 Samuel 16:23), your worship creates a territory of light that forces darkness to flee. It brings refreshment and wellness to tormented souls.
5. It Triggers Divine Provision:
When you delight yourself in the Lord in the place of worship, He places His desires in your heart and fulfills them (Psalm 37:4). He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly and seek Him (Psalm 84:11).
How to Cultivate a Lifestyle of Worship
1. Make God Your Focus:
Begin every prayer and day with worship. Magnify His names, attributes, and past faithfulness before presenting your requests.
2. Offer Your Body as a Living Sacrifice:
Let your entire life—your work, relationships, and choices—be an act of worship offered to God (Romans 12:1).
3. Be a Truth-Based Worshipper:
Fill your heart with God’s Word so your worship is rooted in the truth of who He is and what He has done.
4. Worship Through the Storm:
Like Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:25), choose to worship in difficult circumstances. This confuses the enemy and invites God’s miraculous intervention.
Warning: The Danger of Performance Worship
Worship that is self-seeking, hypocritical, or designed for public approval is an offense to God (Matthew 15:8-9). God judges the heart, not the outward display.
Conclusion: Become the Worshipper God Seeks
Pray this:
“Father, I come to You today in spirit and in truth. I worship You for who You are—my Creator, Redeemer, and King. Forgive me for making my needs the focus of my praise. I offer my life as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto You. Draw me into deeper intimacy through worship, and let my life become a continuous fragrance of praise to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Action Steps:
- Daily Worship Session: Dedicate at least 15 minutes each day to worship God with music and Scripture, focusing solely on His character.
- Worship First: Before you present your prayer requests, spend time in adoration and thanksgiving.
- Study the Names of God: Learn His names (e.g., Jehovah-Rapha, Jehovah-Jireh) and worship Him specifically using them.
- Obey Promptly: View every act of obedience as an act of worship.
Remember: God is seeking true worshippers. When you make worship your lifestyle, you position yourself for continuous miracles, divine touch, and unparalleled intimacy with the Father.
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” (John 4:23). Will you be one?
