OPEN HEAVEN 25 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
MEMORISE
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalm 103:3
READ: Luke 4:37-40
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE
God is the Great Physician. In Exodus 15:26, He said, “…I am the Lord that healeth thee.” The Bible says that He sent His word and healed them (Psalm 107:20). He is the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27).
Some diseases are termed incurable, but for God, no disease is incurable. Even if a damaged body part is deemed irreparable, He can replace it. While earthly physicians refer cases to each other when they cannot handle them, the Great Physician never refers a case – He is a specialist in all fields of medicine.
Years ago, a wealthy chief, who became paralysed from the waist downwards, was taken to the best hospital in London. After trying their best and he didn’t get better, the doctors gave up. To prove the hopelessness of his case, the head surgeon drove a long pin through the chief’s thigh, and when the latter felt no pain, he told him, “Go home, stop wasting your money, you will never walk again.”
The chief was taken back home, and a young girl, who is a member of RCCG, witnessed to him and said, “If you can get to my G.O., you will walk again.” The chief was brought to Redemption City, and because he had a big stature, six hefty men had to carry him into my living room. I told him my God can change the doctors’ report and that if he surrendered his life to Jesus, things would change. He surrendered his life to Jesus, we prayed, and he walked back to his car!
What renowned medical specialists termed impossible took God only a few seconds to do!
I have seen God turn hopeless cases into great testimonies. Thave seen Him step into sorrowful rooms as a result of the death of loved ones and turn them into places of joy and laughter. I have seen Him do the impossible, and your case will not be different; just believe in Him because all things are possible to him that believes (Mark 9:23). He turned around the 12-year-old case of the woman with the issue of blood in a second (Luke 8:44). Lazarus’ four-day-old dead body didn’t take him hours to resurrect (John 11:43-44). The man at the pool of Bethesda with the 38-year-old infirmity received instant healing (John 5:1-9).
If you have any sicknesses or diseases in your body, I pray that the Great Physician will step in and turn things around immediately, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
There is no hopeless case with the Great Physician.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY
Today’s devotional centers on God’s sovereignty as the Great Physician – the ultimate healer who transcends human limitations. Let’s break down its key themes and applications for a mature Christian’s understanding.
1. God’s Authority Over All Sickness (Psalm 103:3, Exodus 15:26)
The Open Heaven devotional for today opens with a foundational truth: God is the source of all healing. Unlike human doctors, whose knowledge and abilities are limited, God’s power is infinite (Jeremiah 32:27). The Bible repeatedly affirms that He is Jehovah Rapha—”the Lord who heals.” This means:
- No disease is beyond His ability to cure.
- Even when medical science declares a case hopeless, God can reverse it.
- Healing is not just physical but holistic—spiritual, emotional, and relational.
2. The Limitations of Human Medicine vs. God’s Omnipotence (Luke 4:37-40)
The story of the paralyzed chief illustrates a stark contrast:
- Human expertise has boundaries—the best doctors in London declared his condition irreversible.
- God specializes in the impossible—what man calls “incurable,” God calls an opportunity for a miracle.
- Faith activates divine intervention—the chief’s surrender to Christ opened the door for his healing.
This aligns with Jesus’ ministry in Luke 4, where He healed all who came to Him, proving that no sickness resists His authority.
3. Biblical Precedents of Instantaneous Miracles (Luke 8:44, John 5:1-9, John 11:43-44)
The devotional for today references several biblical miracles to reinforce that:
- Time is irrelevant to God—whether an illness lasted 12 years (the woman with the issue of blood) or 38 years (the man at Bethesda), healing came in a moment.
- Death is not a barrier—Lazarus’ resurrection after four days proves God’s power even over irreversible conditions.
- Faith is the key—Jesus often linked miracles to belief (Mark 9:23).
4. Personal Application: Trusting God in Hopeless Situations
For believers, this is a call to:
- Reject despair– no matter how long you’ve suffered, God can intervene suddenly.
- Embrace faith – like the chief, surrender fully to Christ and trust His power.
- Expect testimonies – just as the Daddy E.A. Adeboye has witnessed miracles, your case can also become a praise report.
Final Thought
While we thank God for medical advancements, we must never elevate them above divine power. The Great Physician never refers a case because He has no limitations. Your healing may come through medicine, miracles, or even in eternity – but one thing is certain: God is able. Stand on His Word, hold fast to faith, and watch Him turn your impossibility into a testimony.
“But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” (Matthew 19:26)
May today’s devotional guide strengthen your faith and remind you that nothing is too hard for the Lord!
