OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE LORD IS MY SONG
MEMORISE:
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
Psalms 118:14
READ: Psalms 126:1-6:
1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity*, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
It is wonderful to know Jesus and trust in Him. Over the past few days, I have been discussing the benefits of having Jesus as your Lord.
Those who are still yet to totally surrender to His Lordship are depriving themselves of the tremendous blessings of being children of the Most High God.
People love good songs and love to sing new songs. When you make Jesus your Lord, He will not only give you a new song, He will become your song. He will not just fill your mouth with laughter, He will become your laughter and the source of your joy. After God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and led them through the Red Sea, they began to sing a new song to the Lord:
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2
When God becomes your song, He will fill your mouth with joy and laughter. When He became Sarah’s song, He filled her mouth with laughter, and people laughed along with her (Genesis 21:6). I pray that everyone who has mocked you will laugh with you, in Jesus’ name.
When the devil thinks he has the upper hand or when he thinks he has done too much damage for things to ever become good in a Christian’s life again, such a Christian should know that God is about to become his or her song. When the devil attacked Job and his family, he thought he had the final say. However, God came through for Job and gave him double of all he had lost (Job 42:12).
When God becomes your song, He will fill your mouth with songs of victory. When He wanted to destroy the wall of Jericho, He put a loud shout of victory in the mouth of His people.
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Joshua 6:20
Beloved, God wants to become your song. He wants to continually give you new songs of joy and victory. Surrender your life completely to him, and your days will be full of laughter and singing.
KEY POINT
When you surrender your life completely to Jesus, He will become your song.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Luke 7-8
HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 24 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalm 118:14
“The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.”
This powerful declaration reveals that God is not merely the giver of songs; He is the very substance and subject of the song itself. Our strength and our melody of triumph find their source exclusively in Him.
BIBLE READING: Psalms 126:1-6
This psalm captures the transformative joy of God’s intervention:
v. 1-2: The Turnaround: “When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion… then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.”
v. 3: The Testimony: “The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.”
v. 5-6: The Promise: Those who sow in tears “shall reap in joy” and return with songs of triumph.
The Lord: Your Song of Joy and Victory
Pastor E.A. Adeboye culminates this series on the benefits of Lordship with one of the most beautiful promises: a life filled with divinely orchestrated joy and victory. For the one who is fully surrendered, God Himself becomes their perpetual song, turning every past mourning into dancing and every battle into a testimony.
The Progression of God’s Song
- From a New Song to God as Your Song: God does not just give you a temporary tune; He installs Himself as the eternal melody of your heart. The song may change with seasons, but the Source remains constant.
- From Laughter to God as Your Laughter: The joy He gives is not superficial happiness dependent on circumstances; it is the deep, abiding joy of His presence (Nehemiah 8:10) that becomes your core identity.
Biblical Examples of God Becoming the Song
1. The Song of Deliverance (Exodus 15:1-2):
After crossing the Red Sea, Israel didn’t just sing about God; they sang to God, declaring, “The LORD… is become my salvation.” Their song was the direct result of a finished work of deliverance.
2. The Song of Miraculous Fulfillment (Genesis 21:6):
For decades, Sarah’s life was a song of barrenness and despair. When God became her song, He filled her mouth with incredulous laughter—a laughter so contagious that others “laughed with her.” God turned her shame into celebration.
3. The Song of Restoration (Job 42:10-12):
The devil intended Job’s story to be a funeral dirge. God rewrote the score and turned it into a symphony of double restoration. The latter end of his life became a greater song than the beginning.
4. The Song of Victory (Joshua 6:20):
The walls of Jericho fell not by military strategy but by a “great shout”—a song of faith and victory shouted in advance of the visible breakthrough. Their obedience to God’s strange command turned their shout into a weapon.
How to Experience God as Your Song
1. Complete Surrender:
This blessing is reserved for those who have totally surrendered to His Lordship. You cannot sing the song of triumph while still commanding your own life.
2. Recognize Your Captivity Turning:
Like the psalmist in Psalm 126, be sensitive to the moments when God begins to turn your situation around. This awareness fuels gratitude and praise.
3. Sow in Tears with Faith:
Understand the principle of Psalm 126:5. Your present tears of prayer, intercession, and obedience are seeds you are sowing. Water them with faith and worship, knowing you will reap a harvest of joy.
4. Shout in Advance:
Like the Israelites at Jericho, learn to praise God for the victory before you see it manifested. This shout of faith is the catalyst that brings down imposing barriers.
The Result: A Life of Celebrated Testimony
When God becomes your song:
- Your testimony becomes “The LORD hath done great things for us!” (Psalm 126:3).
- Your life becomes a magnet for joy, attracting others to share in your celebration.
- Your mouth is permanently filled with laughter and singing, disarming worry and fear.
Conclusion: Let Your Life Sing
Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I surrender every area of my life to You anew. Become my song and my laughter. Turn every captivity in my life into a testimony of joy. Fill my mouth with singing and my heart with triumph. I choose to shout a praise of victory over every ‘Jericho’ in my path, trusting that You will bring down every wall. Let my life be a continuous song that glorifies You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Action Steps:
- Identify a ‘Captivity’: Name an area of struggle, shame, or defeat in your life. Begin to thank God for turning it around.
- Create a Playlist: Make a playlist of songs that declare God’s victory and faithfulness. Play it daily to fill your atmosphere with faith.
- Praise in the Storm: The next time you face a challenge, instead of complaining, choose to sing and praise God for His coming victory.
- Share Your Song: Testify of God’s goodness to others. Your story can become the new song someone else needs to hear.
Remember: Your life is meant to be a symphony, not a funeral dirge. The Master Composer is ready to write His song of joy and victory over every page of your story if you will let Him.
“The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” (Psalm 118:14). Let this be your song today and always.
