RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 20 JULY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
In Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught us to start our prayers with Our Father. God is a ‘family man’ He loves the concept of family and hates loneliness. In Genesis 2:18, He said that it is not good that a man should be alone. If you’re of marriageable age and can’t seem to find the right companion to get married to, or if there are forces preventing you from getting married, I pray that the tide will turn this year, in Jesus’ name.
During one of our programmes several years ago, God’s word came that the mother of one of the sisters in the congregation was diabolically preventing her from getting married. God said that the mother would be buried within seven days if she continued to prevent her daughter from getting married.
The following day, a lady came with her mother to my office. The mother was furious, and she said, “You stupid prophets brainwash our girls. Imagine telling my daughter that I am responsible for her not getting married.”
I replied, “Me? Sister, did I say that? What God said is that the mother of a sister in the congregation was preventing her from getting married. Did I mention your name?”
Then I turned to the mother, “Mama, don’t mind her. Nobody mentioned her name.” The mother then asked her daughter to leave my office because she wanted to speak with me alone.
As her daughter went out, she turned to me, “Pastor, is it true that the mother of the fellow concerned will die?” I said, “I’m not talking about you, but what God said will come to pass. Before the week ends, whoever it is will be buried.”
The woman began to stammer, “I’m not asking her not to marry, but who is going to take care of me after she’s married?” I said, “That’s simple; I can make her and her husband promise to take good care of you.” The lady, who was almost 40 years old and had not had any suitors, got married within six months.
In today’s Bible reading, God promised that nobody will lack their mate. If you are feeling lonely, I pray that God will restore the broken relationships in your life or send the right companions your way.
For someone reading this today, God will deal with anybody who says that you will not get married. He will settle you maritally in due time, in Jesus’ name. God’s word will never fail; keep trusting in Him.
OPEN HEAVEN 20 JULY 2025 PRAYER POINT
Father, please always send the right companions to me, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 20 JULY 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalms 68:6
“God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out those which are bound with chains…”
This powerful verse reveals God’s heart for restoration and belonging. He actively works to:
- Place the lonely in families (marriage, spiritual kinship)
- Break spiritual chains hindering destiny relationships
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 34:16-17
“Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read… for My mouth it hath commanded, and His spirit it hath gathered them. And He hath cast the lot for them, and His hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it forever…”
This passage emphasizes:
- God’s sovereign control over destinies (including marital timing)
- The permanence of His ordained connections
God’s Heart for Marital Settlement
The devotional shares a profound testimony about generational interference with marriage and reveals key spiritual principles:
1. God Hates Loneliness (Genesis 2:18)
- His first “not good” declaration concerned human isolation
- Jesus affirmed family values by teaching to pray “Our Father” (Matthew 6:9)
- Modern Application:
- Singles should reject the lie that “something’s wrong with me”
- Families must not selfishly block marital destinies
2. Spiritual Hindrances to Marriage
- The Mother’s Curse (in the testimony):
- Fear of abandonment (“Who will care for me?”) became a demonic stronghold
- Similar to Naomi initially discouraging Ruth (Ruth 1:11-13) before blessing her (Ruth 3:1)
- Other Common Hindrances:
- Ancestral covenants (Exodus 20:5)
- Personal soul ties (1 Corinthians 6:16-18)
- Word curses (“You’ll never marry”)
3. God’s Intervention Process
- Divine Revelation (as in the service) – exposes hidden barriers
- Confrontation – the mother had to face truth
- Repentance & Covenant – the pastor facilitated a new agreement
- Swift Manifestation – marriage within 6 months after 40-year delay
4. Biblical Promises for the Lonely
- Psalm 68:6 – God specializes in marital settlements
- Isaiah 34:16-17 – He allots life partners by divine lottery
- Luke 1:36-37 – Even “barren” cases aren’t hopeless
Practical Steps Toward Marital Breakthrough
- Diagnose Spiritual Blocks
- Fast/pray like Esther (Esther 4:16) for revelation
- Seek godly counsel (Proverbs 11:14)
- Break Evil Covenants
- Renounce family curses (Exodus 20:5)
- Apply the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
- Prepare Practically
- Develop Proverbs 31/1 Peter 3 character
- Expand social circles wisely (Ruth 2:1-3)
- Stand on Promises
- Pray Isaiah 34:16-17 over your destiny
- Decree “My marital settlement is now!”
Warning Signs of Interference
- Excessive parental control over adult children
- Recurring broken engagements without cause
- Dreams of marital frustration
- Family history of late/no marriages
Conclusion: Your Set Time Has Come
Pray this:
“Father, expose every hidden hindrance to my marriage. By the blood of Jesus, break every generational curse. Connect me to my divine mate this year, and let no weapon formed against my marital joy prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Amen!”
Remember:
- God calls marriage good – don’t accept less (Genesis 2:18)
- Your story isn’t over – the 40-year-old in the testimony married!
- Divine revenge comes against marital blockers (as with the mother’s threat)
“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4). Your marital miracle is nearer than you think!
