OPEN HEAVEN 16 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL VI
MEMORISE
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Jude 1:20
READ: 1 Corinthians 2:10-16
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 15 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Over the past two days, I have discussed God’s word and worship as ways to recharge your spiritual battery. Today, I will talk about another powerful way you can recharge your spiritual battery: praying in the Spirit.
If you want to talk to a man, you will connect better with him when you speak his language.
The way to connect seamlessly with God is to talk to Him in His language: praying in the Spirit. I discovered early in ministry that if I spend time with God in secret, He will spend time with me in the open. If I wait upon Him before any programme, then He will show up!
For example, whenever I’m preparing for the Holy Ghost Service, I make sure that I spend at least three days locked up with Him alone – away from my wife and children. I would wait on Him, praising Him and seeking His face for the programme ahead because Isaiah 40:31 says,
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
I would spend time recharging my spiritual battery by praying in the Spirit. After I have spent many hours with Him, day and night, even before I start preaching many times, He begins to work miracles.
Praying in the Spirit charges you up and helps you to remain on fire for God. Flies don’t like hot stoves. When a stove is cold, you’ll see them playing around it. However, when the stove is turned on, it becomes unapproachable for them. They won’t come near it because they can’t stand fire. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are setting yourself on fire, and anything linked with darkness cannot stay around you.
When you pray in the Spirit, you become energised, and this increases your spiritual fervency and sensitivity. As you pray in the Holy Ghost, you access mysteries in God’s heart because only the Holy Spirit knows the mysteries of God. Today’s Bible reading tells us that through the Holy Spirit, we can know the things that have been freely given to us; praying in the Spirit brings us to the understanding of these things. These mysteries will help you to stay spiritually charged up for God.
Beloved, make a habit of praying in the Spirit, and if you are born again but cannot pray in the Spirit, ask God for the gift today.
OPEN HEAVEN 16 AUGUST ACTION POINT
Spend time praying in the Spirit every day.

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 16 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Jude 1:20
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.”
This verse reveals praying in the Spirit as God’s divine mechanism for self-edification and spiritual fortification.
BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 2:10-16
This passage unveils three supernatural benefits of Spirit-led prayer:
- v.10: Revelation access (“the Spirit searches all things”)
- v.11: Divine intimacy (“knows the things of God”)
- v.14-15: Spiritual discernment (“judges all things”)
The Power of Praying in the Spirit
Daddy Adeboye’s teaching highlights four transformative effects of praying in tongues:
1. Divine Recharge System (Isaiah 40:31)
- Daddy Adeboye’s Pre-Crusade Pattern:
- 3-day isolation → Hours in tongues → Open miracles
- Scientific Parallel:
- Like lithium batteries needing full cycles to avoid “memory effect”
- Spiritual batteries require deep discharge/recharge cycles through tongues
2. Spiritual Firewall (1 Corinthians 14:2)
| Natural Prayer | Praying in Tongues |
|---|---|
| Limited to human understanding | Direct line to God’s throne |
| Vulnerable to distractions | Satan cannot decipher (Romans 8:26) |
| Earth-bound petitions | Downloads heavenly strategies |
3. Mystery Decoder (1 Corinthians 2:10)
- How It Works:
- Pray in tongues for 20+ mins
- Sudden divine ideas emerge (business solutions, family breakthroughs)
- Scriptures come alive with new revelation
4. Demon Repellent (Acts 16:16-18)
- Daddy Adeboye’s Stove Analogy:
- Cold believer = Flies of temptation land freely
- Tongues-fired believer = Demonic flies can’t tolerate the heat
How to Maximize Tongues Prayer
1. The 21-Day Ignition Challenge
- Daily Practice:
- Morning: 15 mins uninterrupted tongues
- Night: 10 mins before sleep
- Expected Results:
- Increased dream clarity
- Heightened spiritual discernment
2. Tongues + Scripture Fusion
- Read 1 Bible chapter
- Pray in tongues for 5 mins on that passage
- Journal fresh insights
3. Create “Tongues Triggers”
- When you feel:
- Angry → 2 mins tongues (cool down)
- Confused → 5 mins tongues (download wisdom)
- Tempted → 1 min tongues (firewall activation)
Prayer for Tongues Empowerment
“Father, baptize me in Your liquid fire! Where I’ve prayed only with my mind, give me heaven’s language. Let my tongue become Your lightning rod—conducting miracles, revelations, and deliverances, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Tongues Timer: Use phone stopwatch—build from 5 mins to 30 mins daily
- Tongues Journal: Record one spiritual insight after each session
- Accountability Partner: Find someone to practice tongues prayer with weekly
Conclusion: Your Divine Power Grid
Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: Tongues aren’t just a Pentecostal gift—they’re every believer’s warfare necessity.
“A day without tongues is like a phone on 1%—functional but fragile. Charge up daily!”
