OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: CONSTANT vs VARIABLES II
MEMORISE
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto l sent it.
Isaiah 55:11
READ: Hebrews 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE
In a world of constantly changing laws and policies, God can be trusted to remain an absolute constant, as l discussed yesterday. His words, principles, and actions are consistent, and they can never change. When politicians campaign for political offices, they make numerous promises, some of which they often fail to fulfil. God is never like that; His promises are constant, and His deeds can be absolutely trusted.
Many things are constant about God; I will discuss one today – His word – and three more tomorrow. God’s word existed before the world began, and it will remain long after the earth passes away (John 1:1). If He makes you a promise and you play your part as He requires, no matter how long it takes, He will surely fulfil it.
One day, I was praying, and God said, “Son, presidents will come to the camp to worship.” At that time, it seemed impossible, but Daddy said it, and as far as l was concerned, it was settled already. Therefore, with faith, we built a presidential lodge immediately, and it was the biggest building in the camp (now Redemption City) back then.
Three years passed, and when no president came, some senior pastors said to me, “Daddy, you are our president. Why don’t you move into the presidential lodge?” They didn’t fully understand why we built the presidential lodge, and they felt that I wanted to live in a big house but didn’t know how to tell them.
I told them, “No! That’s not my house. It’s for presidents; they will come.” Of course, presidents have come and are still coming.
No matter how long it takes, God’s word and promises will come to pass.
According to today’s memory verse, the potency of God’s word is constant; no word that comes out of His mouth will return to Him void. This means that you can claim whatever you see in the Scriptures, and you will receive it if you believe. For example, Deuteronomy 28:13 says that you shall be the head and not the tail. If you believe this, then you will indeed be the head. 1 Peter 2:24 says that you have been healed by His stripes. If you believe this, then sickness has no place in your body.
Situations may vary, but God’s word is constant. No matter how bad a situation appears to be, God can turn it around for good because His word is living and powerful, and that will never change.
KEY POINT
Your situation is a variable, but God’s word is constant. His word never fails.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY
The Open Heaven devotional for today is a powerful reminder of the reliability and potency of God’s Word. It emphasizes that God’s promises are unchanging and that His Word is living, active, and able to accomplish His purposes. Let’s break it down:
1. MEMORISE: Isaiah 55:11
Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” This verse is a cornerstone of faith, affirming that God’s Word is never empty or ineffective. It always fulfills its purpose. This truth reassures us that when God speaks, His promises are guaranteed to come to pass, no matter how long it takes or how impossible it may seem.
2. BIBLE READING: Hebrews 4:12-13
This passage describes the power and precision of God’s Word. It says that “the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”This highlights several key truths about God’s Word:
- It is Alive: God’s Word is not static; it is dynamic and active in the lives of believers.
- It is Powerful: It has the ability to transform lives, bring healing, and fulfill God’s purposes.
- It is Discerning: It reveals the deepest thoughts and intentions of the heart, bringing conviction and clarity.
This passage reinforces the devotional’s message that God’s Word is constant, reliable, and capable of producing results.
3. The Unchanging Nature of God’s Word
Today’s devotional contrasts the inconsistency of human promises, such as those made by politicians, with the absolute reliability of God’s Word. Unlike humans, who often fail to fulfill their promises, God’s Word is constant and trustworthy. This is a powerful reminder that we can place our full confidence in God’s promises, knowing that He will never fail us.
The devotional also emphasizes that God’s Word existed before creation (John 1:1) and will endure forever. This eternal nature of God’s Word means that His promises are not limited by time or circumstances. If He has spoken a promise, it will come to pass, even if it takes years or seems impossible in the natural realm.
4. The Testimony of Faith
The author shares a personal testimony of how God spoke to him about presidents coming to worship at the camp. Despite the seeming impossibility of this promise, the author acted in faith by building a presidential lodge. For three years, there was no sign of presidents coming, and some questioned the decision. However, the author held on to God’s Word, and eventually, presidents began to come.
This testimony illustrates several important principles:
- Faith in God’s Word: The author believed God’s promise even when it seemed impossible.
- Patience and Perseverance: He waited for three years without giving up, trusting that God’s Word would come to pass.
- Obedience: He acted on God’s Word by building the lodge, demonstrating his faith through action.
This story encourages us to trust in God’s promises, even when we don’t see immediate results. It reminds us that God’s timing is perfect and that His Word will always come to pass.
5. The Potency of God’s Word
The devotional guide for today highlights the potency of God’s Word, as stated in Isaiah 55:11. It emphasizes that God’s Word is not just a collection of ancient texts but a living and powerful force that can transform lives and circumstances. The devotional encourages readers to claim the promises in Scripture, such as:
- Deuteronomy 28:13: “You shall be the head and not the tail.”
- 1 Peter 2:24: “By His stripes, you were healed.”
These promises are not just theoretical; they are practical and applicable to our lives. If we believe and act on them, we will see their fulfillment.
6. Key Message: Trust in God’s Word
The key message of the devotional is that God’s Word is constant, powerful, and trustworthy. It challenges us to:
- Believe in God’s Promises: No matter how impossible a situation may seem, God’s Word can turn it around.
- Act in Faith: Like the author, we are to act on God’s Word, even when it requires patience and perseverance.
- Claim Scripture: We are to take God’s promises personally and believe that they apply to our lives.
This devotional serves as both a reminder and a call to action:
- Reminder: God’s Word is unchanging and powerful. It is our ultimate source of truth and guidance in a world of uncertainty.
- Call to Action: We are to actively trust in God’s promises, claim them in faith, and act on them, even when the results are not immediately visible.
Conclusion
The Open Heaven for today is a powerful affirmation of the reliability and potency of God’s Word. It reminds us that God’s promises are constant and that His Word will always accomplish its purpose. Whether we are facing challenges, waiting for breakthroughs, or simply navigating the uncertainties of life, we can trust in God’s Word to guide us and fulfill His promises. Let us hold on to His Word with faith, patience, and obedience, knowing that it will never return void. As we do so, we will see His promises come to pass in our lives, bringing glory to His name
