OPEN HEAVEN 22 JULY 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: YOUR TIMES ARE IN GOD’S HANDS
MEMORISE
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Daniel 2:21
READ: Psalms 31:14-21
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 22 JULY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Years ago, there was a lady who had been trusting God for a partner for many years until she reached menopause. During a crusade, I said that everyone should ask God for whatever they wanted, and the lady turned to God and said, “Lord, I am not going to bother you about a husband anymore. There is no point, as I can no longer have a child. I will serve you all the same anyway.”
The Almighty God heard her, and not long after that, a man came to her and said, “Thus saith the Lord, you are to be my wife.”
Surprised, she asked him to go and pray again to be sure that he had heard from God. However, the man insisted that he had prayed and heard from God. Then she asked him, “Don’t you want children? Because I can’t have children at my age.” The man replied, “That is not a problem because I already have children. I lost my wife, and all I need now is a companion and a mother for my children.”
They got married, and the woman who thought that she could no longer have children gave birth to a set of twins nine months later. God is not limited by time at all; He can speed up time or reverse it as He pleases.
God holds times and seasons in His hands, and He can change them however He pleases (Daniel 2:21). If men say it is over for you, ignore them. God is the only One who has the final say in your life; He is Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8).
When men said it was over for Abraham and Sarah, God reversed the time and caused them to laugh (Genesis 21:6-7).
Even when Lazarus’ sisters thought that he was dead and gone, Jesus came and announced, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). When God visits a fellow, He restores any wasted years that might exist in his or her life.
As long as you are alive and God is your Father, your time is not gone. Your times are in God’s hands, and if He hasn’t said it is over, who are you to say that your time has passed?
Confess God’s word and not your present reality. Only God has the right to close your case, and since you are still alive, it means that He hasn’t closed it, and He still has a lot in store for you.
OPEN HEAVEN 22 JULY 2025 KEY POINT
As long as you are still alive, God can control times and seasons to favour you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 29-31
HYMN 15: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 22 JULY 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Daniel 2:21
“And He changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and setteth up kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.”
This verse establishes God’s absolute sovereignty over human timelines and biological limitations. What men call “too late,” God calls “right on time.”
BIBLE READING: Psalms 31:14-21
David’s declaration in adversity reveals:
- v.15: “My times are in Thy hand…” → Divine control over destiny schedules
- v.19-20: God’s hidden blessings for those who hope in Him despite delays
When God Rewrites Expiry Dates
The devotional shares a miraculous testimony of:
- A menopausal woman receiving a husband
- Conceiving twins against medical odds
- Divine timeline reversal (like Sarah in Genesis 21)
1. God’s Authority Over Biological Clocks
- Menopause ≠ Finality:
- Sarah (Genesis 17:17), Elizabeth (Luke 1:36), and this sister all conceived post-menopause
- Scientific Note: God can reactivate dormant eggs or create new life ex nihilo (Hebrews 11:3)
- Modern Application:
- For those told “You’re too old” for:
- Marriage
- Career shifts
- Ministry launch
- For those told “You’re too old” for:
2. How God Resets “Expired” Seasons
- Speed Acceleration (Habakkuk 2:3):
- The sister went from resigned singleness to wedding + twins in months
- Time Reversal (2 Kings 20:1-11):
- Like Hezekiah’s 15-year extension, God can add years to biological capacity
- Season Exchange (Joel 2:25):
- Restores what locusts (time, critics, biology) stole
3. Keys to Activating Your Turnaround
- Release Your Request (Like the Sister at the Crusade)
- Even her “resignation prayer” was a faith declaration (Mark 11:24)
- Ignore Human Timelines (Isaiah 55:8-9)
- Doctors/society said “too late”—God said “new beginnings”
- Prepare for Surprises (Matthew 9:29)
- The sister bought bridal wear before seeing her husband
- Testify in Advance (Romans 4:17)
- Like Abraham, call things that be not as though they were
4. Warning Against “Closed Case” Mentality
- Zechariah’s Mistake (Luke 1:18-20):
- Doubted due to age → struck mute
- The Sister’s Wisdom:
- Said “I’ll serve You anyway” → kept her faith alive
Prophetic Declarations Over Your Life
- Marital Breakthrough: “Every ‘expired’ marital season revives now—receive your divine spouse!”
- Biological Miracle: “Dormant wombs/sperm awaken! Conceive your Isaac against all odds!”
- Destiny Reset: *”Wasted years restored—your 11th-hour miracle arrives suddenly!”*
Conclusion: Your Times Are in His Hands
Pray this:
“Father, I reject every ‘expiry date’ placed on my destiny. As You revived Sarah’s womb and gave the menopausal sister twins, reverse every dead season in my life today. Let my story become a textbook of Your power over time, in Jesus’ name!”
Remember:
- God specializes in “impossible” timelines (Jeremiah 32:27)
- Your obedience > biological age (Luke 1:37)
- He saves the best wine for last (John 2:10)
“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45). Your performance season is here!
