OPEN HEAVENS 19 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: REAL MEN
MEMORISE:
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12
READ: Genesis 18:16-19
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 19 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Men are at the root of their families. In other words, whatever a man allows into his life will be passed on to every other member of his family. For example, in 2 Kings 5:20-27, Gehazi’s greed brought leprosy upon himself and his descendants. In Daniel 6:24, the men who planned to destroy Daniel were not thrown into the den of lions alone; they were thrown in there with their families. Even if their wives had been strongly against what they did, it did not matter; as long as the men had committed the offence, their entire families suffered for it. This is why men must be very cautious of their actions.
In today’s memory verse, the Bible says that sin came into the world by one man. However, if you read Genesis 3:6-7, you will see that it was not a man who first sinned but a woman. If you read that Scripture carefully, you will notice that after the woman sinned, she did not realise that they were naked; however, the moment the man also ate the forbidden fruit, their eyes were opened all of a sudden. If you are a man, you must never allow anything that is outside the will of God into your home, even if your wife suggests it. If she insists and sins, the family is not yet in trouble; the man can still intercede for her redemption. The moment you also indulge in that sin, however, you expose your family to the enemy.
Beloved, God does not define men the way the world defines them. God defines a man by his ability to walk in righteousness, lead correctly, and stand in the gap in prayer for his family. God is looking for men who will influence their generation to be righteous. Unfortunately, many men today are physically present in the home but spiritually absent in the place of prayer. Some are strong in their workplaces but weak at the altar of prayer. Many are successful in business but failing in character. Real men don’t just provide for their families; they lead their children and household to serve God.
For every man reading this, God will help you to be a man indeed, in Jesus’ name. If you are a woman, please pray for the men in your life, especially your husband and/or father. Pray that God will help them to lead your home aright so they will not allow any form of evil into your family.
KEY POINT
Today is International Men’s Day. Please pray that God will continually give all the men around you the grace to lead their families the right way.
