OPEN HEAVEN 15 JUNE 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: TALK TO YOUR FATHER
MEMORISE:
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:6
READ: Romans 8:14-17
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 15 JUNE 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
During my regular morning prayer walk one day, I remembered a joke. I was preparing for a ministers’ conference, so I tried to push the joke out of my thoughts. However, I sensed that God wanted to tell me something through the joke, so l allowed myself to think about it.
During the conference, I shared the joke, which goes thus: A husband and his wife had been quarrelling for a long time. Things got so bad that they said they wouldn’t talk to each other anymore. One night, the husband, who was a heavy sleeper, wrote a note for his wife, “Darling, I have to catch a plane at 8am. Please wake me at 6am.” He placed the note on his wife’s side of the bed and slept.
When he woke up the following morning, it was 8am, and his wife had gone to work. He was furious, and as he fumed, he saw a note on his side of the bed where his wife wrote, “Darling, wake up. It’s 6am.”
After sharing the joke, God told me, “Tell My people: I won’t talk to those of you who don’t talk to Me.” God loves it when you talk to Him, and when you do, you invite Him to also speak with you.
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, the first thing He said was, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father…”” (Luke 11:2).
No father loves it when his children don’t talk to him. As a father, I enjoy it when my children spend time with me.
1 John 3:1 says that the Father has bestowed such great love on you by calling you His son. John 8:35 says that a servant doesn’t abide in the house, but a son abides forever.
As God’s precious child, you have access to Him at all times. You can call on Him and talk to Him about anything, and He will respond.
If you’re a child of God, seek to be more intimate with your Father every day (Philippians 3:10).
If, however, you’re not yet a child of God, then you cannot have access to Him until you acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. If you were once a Christian but have backslidden and disconnected yourself from God like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), run back into His waiting arms.
Beloved, God longs and seeks for His children to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23). Fulfil His desire by speaking with Him continually.
ACTION POINT:
Talk to your heavenly Father every day. Also, today is Father’s Day; call or spend time with your father or any other father figure in your life.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 15 JUNE 2025 COMMENTARY
The Heartbeat of Relationship
This devotional reveals a profound spiritual truth through a simple marital joke – communication is the lifeblood of all relationships, especially our relationship with God. Just as earthly fathers delight in their children’s voices, our Heavenly Father longs for continual conversation with His children. We’ll explore the sacred privilege of divine dialogue and its transformative power in a believer’s life.
1. The Parable of Silence (Understanding the Joke’s Spiritual Meaning)
A. The Marital Breakdown
- Scenario: A couple’s communication failure through:
- Prolonged quarrels
- Silent treatment
- Passive-aggressive notes
- Result: Missed flight (divine appointments)
B. God’s Warning: “I Won’t Talk to Those Who Don’t Talk to Me”
- Principle: Prayer is a two-way relationship, not religious duty
- Danger: When we stop initiating with God, we miss:
- His wake-up calls (divine timing)
- Daily guidance (John 10:27)
- Comfort in trials (Psalm 34:17)
2. The Theology of Divine Conversation
A. The Lord’s Prayer Model (Luke 11:2)
- “Our Father” establishes:
- Family relationship (not slave/master)
- Approachability
- Loving authority
B. The Spirit of Adoption (Romans 8:15)
- Abba: The Aramaic term combining:
- Intimacy (“Daddy”)
- Respect (“Father”)
- Evidence: The indwelling Spirit prompts us to call out
C. The Prodigal’s Lesson (Luke 15:11-32)
- Disconnection: Began when son stopped talking to father
- Restoration: Initiated when “he came to himself” (v.17)
3. Practical Steps to Cultivate Divine Dialogue
A. For Growing Christians
- Morning Invitations:
- “Good morning Father” before checking phones
- Psalm 5:3 model
- Continual Communion:
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 practice
- “Breath prayers” throughout the day
- Listening Posture:
- Journaling during quiet times
- Testing impressions with Scripture
B. For Backsliders
- The Return Journey:
- Acknowledge silence as rebellion
- Repent like David (Psalm 51)
- Restoring Conversation:
- Start with honest confession
- Rebuild through Psalms
C. For Non-Believers
- Initial Connection:
- Romans 10:9-10 salvation prayer
- “Behold, I stand at the door and knock” (Revelation 3:20)
4. The Blessings of Constant Communication
A. Divine Protection
- Early warning system (Isaiah 30:21)
- Storm preparedness (Mark 4:35-41)
B. Supernatural Provision
- Needs revealed before asked (Matthew 6:8)
- Divine strategies in crisis (1 Kings 17:2-4)
C. Emotional Stability
- Peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7)
- Comfort in grief (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Prayer to Restore Divine Dialogue
“Abba Father, forgive my seasons of silence. Awaken in me a fresh desire for Your presence. Teach me to walk in continual communion as Jesus did. Let Your Spirit prompt my spirit to cry out to You in every season. Rekindle the intimacy we shared when I first believed, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Conclusion: Your Father is Waiting
- Today’s Invitation:
- Hebrews 4:16 throne of grace access
- Jeremiah 33:3 call and answer promise
