OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: HELP IS ON THE WAY!
MEMORISE
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take up their names into my lips.
Psalm 16:4
READ: Exodus 20:1-5
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lordthy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 2 APRIL 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Sometime in 1980, there was a woman in RCCG who was trusting God for the fruit of the womb. Although we all prayed for the woman as a church, my wife and I took it upon ourselves to pray for her regularly on our family altar.
Shortly after, she informed us that she was pregnant. On hearing the good news, we were really happy for her. We were dancing and singing praises to God on her behalf when she told us, “Somebody advised me to look elsewhere for a solution to my childlessness.” She continued, “The people I went to for a solution also used the Bible.
However, they also performed some traditional rituals and asked me to participate in certain rituals as well. Look at the result now; I am pregnant.” This happened over four decades ago, yet the last time I heard of her, she was still pregnant.
There was another woman who also desperately wanted a child. She got tired of waiting on God, so she sought fetish means to find a solution to her problem. Shortly after, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. After she had her baby, she told those who were still waiting on the Lord, “You better take action and get a solution to your problem like I did, instead of wasting your time praying.”
When the woman’s son was about six years old, he went into her room one day, stripped himself naked, and said, “Let’s have sex.” The mother was shocked and asked him, “What did you say?” The boy responded, “I said I want to have sex with you.” The perplexed mother then took him to a deliverance minister. During the deliverance session, the boy said, “Don’t waste your time; I am not possessed. I am a demon incarnate.”
Beloved, do not seek any kind of help outside God. Those who seek other gods and alternatives to God will eventually end up in sorrow.
Today’s memory verse says that the sorrow of those who seek after other gods shall be multiplied. Those who seek help apart from God always pay dearly for it because the devil has nothing free to give. I implore you today to continue to tarry in God’s presence.
Put your complete trust in Him because His help is on the way, and He will never disappoint you (Hebrews 10:35-38) I pray that the Lord will continue to uphold you and strengthen your faith in Him, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to wait patiently on You for Your help at all times.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 2 APRIL 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalm 16:4
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.”
This verse is a strong warning against seeking help from any source outside God. Daddy Adeboye emphasizes that when people abandon God for alternative spiritual solutions, they may appear to get quick results, but those results come with hidden sorrow and spiritual bondage.
God is a jealous God who desires exclusive devotion. When a person runs to other gods, the immediate relief they experience often hides long-term consequences.
BIBLE READING: Exodus 20:1–5
This passage contains the opening commandments that define the foundation of a believer’s relationship with God.
Key Insights from the Passage:
- v.1–2: God establishes Himself as the One who delivers His people.
- v.3: “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
- v.4: God forbids idols and substitutes for His power.
- v.5: God is a jealous God who will not share His glory.
These commands remind believers that true worship requires loyalty. God’s people must depend on Him alone.
The Danger of Looking Elsewhere for Help
Daddy Adeboye shares a real incident from 1980 involving a woman who was trusting God for the fruit of the womb.
The Church’s Response:
- The church prayed earnestly for her
- Daddy Adeboye and his wife prayed for her consistently at their family altar
Soon afterward, the woman reported that she was pregnant, and everyone rejoiced—until the truth came out.
The Hidden Source Behind the “Solution”
The woman later confessed that she had visited people who claimed to use the Bible but also combined it with traditional rituals.
This mixture of truth and deception is dangerous.
Why It Is Dangerous:
- It appears spiritual
- It uses Scripture as a disguise
- It mixes God’s word with demonic practices
Daddy Adeboye reveals a shocking detail: decades later, the pregnancy had still not produced a child.
This illustrates that solutions obtained outside God may look promising but remain incomplete or cursed.
The Second Example: A Costly Shortcut
Another woman also desired a child and became tired of waiting on God.
Instead of continuing in prayer, she turned to fetish means.
The Immediate Result:
- She became pregnant quickly
- She delivered a baby boy
Encouraged by this outcome, she even mocked those who were still trusting God.
The Hidden Price of Demonic Help
When the boy was about six years old, something disturbing happened.
He entered his mother’s room, removed his clothes, and made an immoral demand toward her.
Shocked and terrified, the mother sought help from a deliverance minister.
The Shocking Revelation
During the deliverance session, the boy spoke with unusual clarity:
“I am not possessed. I am a demon incarnate.”
This horrifying confession revealed the spiritual transaction behind the child’s birth.
Key Lesson:
The devil never gives anything for free. Every demonic gift carries a hidden agenda and destructive price.
The Principle of Multiplied Sorrows
Psalm 16:4 explains the outcome of seeking other gods:
- Sorrows multiply
- Bondage increases
- Peace disappears
What seemed like a shortcut becomes a long road of suffering.
Why Believers Must Wait on God
Daddy Adeboye strongly urges believers to resist the temptation of alternative solutions.
Reasons to Trust God Alone:
- God’s blessings come without sorrow.
- God’s timing produces lasting results.
- God’s help never enslaves His children.
When God gives a miracle, it brings peace, joy, and divine covering.
The Danger of Spiritual Mixtures
Some people mix:
- Christianity with traditional practices
- Prayer with charms
- Faith with superstition
But God does not accept partial allegiance.
Exodus 20 makes it clear: God demands exclusive worship.
The Reward of Patient Faith
Hebrews 10:35–38 encourages believers not to throw away their confidence.
Those who wait on God will eventually see:
- Fulfilled promises
- Genuine breakthroughs
- Lasting blessings
God may take time, but He never fails.
Conclusion: Trust God Completely
Beloved, when problems persist, the temptation to seek quick solutions can be strong. However, Daddy Adeboye warns that every shortcut outside God leads to deeper trouble.
Remain steadfast in faith, prayer, and obedience. God’s help may not always come immediately, but when it comes, it will be pure, complete, and permanent.
Prayer
“Father, strengthen my faith to trust You completely. Deliver me from every temptation to seek help outside Your will. Uphold me as I wait for Your perfect solution, and let Your blessings come into my life without sorrow, in Jesus’ name.”
Action Steps
- Examine your life for any reliance on ungodly alternatives.
- Renounce every form of spiritual mixture.
- Commit to waiting patiently on God’s timing.
- Meditate on Psalm 16:4 and Exodus 20:3 daily.
Remember:
God’s help may require patience, but it never brings regret. Stay faithful—your breakthrough from the Lord will come at the appointed time.
