OPEN HEAVEN 26 JUNE 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: SEEING EYES I
MEMORISE:
The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
Proverbs 20:12
READ: 2 Kings 4:1-7
1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 26 JUNE 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Today’s Bible reading tells us about a widow who was about to lose her sons to slavery because her late husband left behind a huge debt. She was in a desperate situation, and in her desperation, she ran to Prophet Elisha and shared her plight with him.
After telling the prophet about her troubles, he asked her what she had in her house, and she replied, “Nothing, except a pot of oil.” She thought that what she had was little, but she didn’t realise that it was all she needed to become financially free.
Sometimes, you don’t need more than what you already have in order to receive what God has in store for you. All that the widow in today’s Bible reading needed to have a financial breakthrough had been in her house all along, but she didn’t know it. It took Elisha’s instructions on what to do with what she had to help her experience the potential of the little’ that was in her possession. If God had opened her eyes to see what He could do with the little she had, she would have never been in distress. I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the solutions He has put around you, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s memory verse, the Bible says that the ears that hear and the eyes that see were made by the Lord. This means that a person can be surrounded by prosperity; however, if God doesn’t enable that person to see the opportunities He has placed around him or her, such a person can die in poverty.
Having eyes that see is more than just having physical eyes. When you have eyes that see, you will see opportunities where others see challenges and abundance where others see scarcity. When God opened Isaac’s eyes to see opportunities in the midst of famine, he became so wealthy that the Philistines began to envy him because he had become wealthier than them (Genesis 26:12-16).
Beloved, in order to thrive, you need to have eyes that see. You need to see beyond the ordinary to achieve extraordinary results. Over the next few days, I will share the importance of having seeing eyes and why you should ask the Lord for them. I pray that my Daddy will give you seeing eyes so you will see opportunities where others see obstacles and experience breakthroughs where others experience oppositions, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, please give me seeing eyes so l can make the best of the opportunities You have put around me.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 26 JUNE 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Proverbs 20:12
“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.”
Your physical senses are not accidents of evolution—they are creations of God. The same God who formed the physical eye and ear can open them to see and hear what is invisible to the natural person. Having physical eyes is one thing; having “seeing eyes” that perceive divine opportunities, hidden solutions, and kingdom possibilities is another. Both come from the Lord, and both can be requested from Him.
BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 4:1-7
This is the story of the widow of a son of the prophets. Her husband died, leaving behind massive debt. The creditor was coming to take her two sons as slaves. She had nothing in her house but a small pot of oil. Elisha instructed her to borrow empty vessels from her neighbours—many vessels, not just a few. Then she was to shut the door and pour her oil into all the vessels. She poured, and the oil flowed until every vessel was full. She sold the oil, paid the debt, and lived on the remainder. Daddy Adeboye highlights a crucial detail: the solution to her desperate situation was already in her house. She had the oil all along. What she lacked was not resources but revelation—eyes to see the potential in what she already possessed.
The Tragedy of Unseen Solutions
1. The Widow’s Desperation
“Today’s Bible reading tells us about a widow who was about to lose her sons to slavery because her late husband left behind a huge debt. She was in a desperate situation, and in her desperation, she ran to Prophet Elisha and shared her plight with him.”
Consider her condition:
| The Widow’s Problem | The Stakes |
|---|---|
| Massive debt she could not pay | Creditor was coming |
| No income, no resources | Her two sons would be taken as slaves |
| Husband (the provider) was dead | She was alone, vulnerable, helpless |
Humanly speaking, she had no options. She did not come to Elisha with a plan or a resource. She came with a problem.
2. The Hidden Solution
“After telling the prophet about her troubles, he asked her what she had in her house, and she replied, ‘Nothing, except a pot of oil.’ She thought that what she had was little, but she didn’t realise that it was all she needed to become financially free.”
| What the Widow Said | What Was Actually True |
|---|---|
| “Nothing” | “A pot of oil” |
| “I have no resources” | “I have the seed of my miracle” |
| “I am hopeless” | “Your solution is already in your house” |
“Sometimes, you don’t need more than what you already have in order to receive what God has in store for you.”
This is a revolutionary statement. The widow thought she needed a loan, a benefactor, a miracle from outside. But God’s miracle was already inside her house. She had the oil. She had been living with her miracle and did not know it.
“All that the widow in today’s Bible reading needed to have a financial breakthrough had been in her house all along, but she didn’t know it.”
| What She Had | What She Needed | The Gap |
|---|---|---|
| A pot of oil | A financial breakthrough | Not more oil, but eyes to see the potential of the oil |
“It took Elisha’s instructions on what to do with what she had to help her experience the potential of the ‘little’ that was in her possession.”
Elisha did not give her new resources. He gave her a revelation. He opened her eyes to see that the “little” she had was enough—if used according to divine instruction.
Having Eyes That See (Beyond Physical Sight)
1. Physical Eyes vs. Seeing Eyes
“In today’s memory verse, the Bible says that the ears that hear and the eyes that see were made by the Lord. This means that a person can be surrounded by prosperity; however, if God doesn’t enable that person to see the opportunities He has placed around him or her, such a person can die in poverty.”
| Physical Eyes | Seeing Eyes (Spiritual Perception) |
|---|---|
| See the surface of things | See the potential beneath the surface |
| See lack | See the seed of abundance |
| See obstacles | See opportunities |
| See the problem | See the solution hidden within the problem |
| See scarcity | See abundance where others see famine |
“Having eyes that see is more than just having physical eyes. When you have eyes that see, you will see opportunities where others see challenges and abundance where others see scarcity.”
The widow had physical eyes. She could see the pot of oil. But she did not have “seeing eyes” that recognised the oil as her answer. She saw a little oil. Elisha saw unlimited wealth waiting to be released.
2. Isaac: Seeing Opportunities in Famine
“When God opened Isaac’s eyes to see opportunities in the midst of famine, he became so wealthy that the Philistines began to envy him because he had become wealthier than them (Genesis 26:12-16).”
Consider Isaac’s situation:
| The Circumstance | The Natural Response |
|---|---|
| Famine in the land | Everyone focused on scarcity |
| Philistines struggling | Survival mode |
| Limited resources | Fear, hoarding, competition |
But Isaac did not see famine. He saw farmland. He sowed in a time of famine (Genesis 26:12). And the Bible says: “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.”
| What Isaac Saw | What Others Saw |
|---|---|
| Opportunity to sow | No point in sowing during famine |
| God’s blessing despite circumstances | Only the circumstances |
| Increase | Lack |
| Hundredfold harvest | Empty storehouses |
“When God opened Isaac’s eyes to see opportunities in the midst of famine, he became so wealthy that the Philistines began to envy him because he had become wealthier than them.”
Isaac did not need new land, new rain, or new economic conditions. He needed his eyes opened to see what was already possible—even in famine.
The Prayer for Seeing Eyes
Daddy Adeboye announces a series on this theme:
“Over the next few days, I will share the importance of having seeing eyes and why you should ask the Lord for them.”
This is a prayer you can pray right now:
“I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the solutions He has put around you, in Jesus’ name.”
| What to Pray For | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| “Lord, open my eyes” | Because solutions may already be in your house |
| “Lord, help me see what I have missed” | Because the enemy blinds us to our own resources |
| “Lord, give me seeing eyes” | Because seeing eyes turn lack into abundance |
How to Develop Seeing Eyes (Practical Steps)
Based on Daddy Adeboye’s teaching, here is how to begin asking God for seeing eyes and positioning yourself to see what He wants you to see:
1. Ask the Lord Specifically for Seeing Eyes
Do not assume you already see everything. The widow did not see the potential in her oil. Isaac needed God to open his eyes. Ask daily: “Lord, give me eyes to see what You are showing me.”
2. Stop Focusing on What You Don’t Have
The widow said, “I have nothing except a pot of oil.” She was focused on the nothing. Elisha redirected her focus to the something. Take inventory of what you do have:
| Category | What Do You Already Have? |
|---|---|
| Skills | What can you do? |
| Relationships | Who do you know? |
| Resources | What do you own? |
| Experiences | What have you been through that could help others? |
| Spiritual gifts | What has God gifted you to do? |
3. Bring Your “Little” to God
Do not despise your pot of oil. Bring it to God and say, “Lord, here is what I have. It seems small. But I am asking You to multiply it, stretch it, and use it for Your glory.”
4. Obey the Instructions Even When They Don’t Make Sense
Elisha’s instructions were unusual:
- Borrow empty vessels from neighbours (not just a few)
- Shut the door (privacy, focus)
- Pour the oil (use what you have)
The widow did not argue. She obeyed. And the oil flowed. Your “seeing eyes” will be useless without obedient feet. God shows you the solution, and then He tells you what to do with it. Do it.
5. Expect to See Opportunities Where Others See Obstacles
When God gives you seeing eyes, you will begin to notice:
- Problems that are actually invitations for your solution
- People who are actually divine connections
- Delays that are actually protections
- Losses that are actually setups for greater gains
Warning: The Danger of Blindness in the Midst of Abundance
Daddy Adeboye’s devotional carries a sobering warning:
“A person can be surrounded by prosperity; however, if God doesn’t enable that person to see the opportunities He has placed around him or her, such a person can die in poverty.”
| The Tragedy | The Cause |
|---|---|
| Surrounded by prosperity but dying in poverty | Lack of seeing eyes |
| Opportunities everywhere but never seeing them | Spiritual blindness |
| Solutions in the house but never recognizing them | Unopened eyes |
This is not about physical poverty alone. It applies to every area of life:
- Financial poverty while your skill or idea sits unused
- Relational poverty while your family member lives next door
- Ministry poverty while your testimony could reach thousands
- Emotional poverty while the answer is in prayer and community
“I pray that my Daddy will give you seeing eyes so you will see opportunities where others see obstacles and experience breakthroughs where others experience oppositions, in Jesus’ name.”
What “Seeing Eyes” Will Reveal
As you ask God for seeing eyes, here is what you can expect to perceive:
| Instead of Seeing… | You Will See… |
|---|---|
| A problem | A opportunity |
| Lack | The seed of abundance |
| A dead end | A door opening |
| A person to avoid | A divine connection |
| A delay | A divine setup |
| A closed door | A window of opportunity |
| Famine | A season for sowing |
Conclusion: Your Prayer for Seeing Eyes
Daddy Adeboye closes with a prayer for seeing eyes. Do not wait. Your solution may already be in your house. Your breakthrough may already be in your hand. Ask God to open your eyes.
Pray this:
“Father, I thank You that You are the God who opens eyes. You formed the seeing eye, and You can awaken it to see what I have been missing. Forgive me for the times I have looked at what I have and called it ‘nothing.’ Forgive me for focusing on lack when You have placed the seed of abundance in my hand. Today, I ask for seeing eyes. Open my eyes to see the solutions You have already placed around me. Open my eyes to see opportunities where I have seen obstacles. Open my eyes to see the ‘pot of oil’ in my house. I refuse to die in poverty surrounded by prosperity. I refuse to live in lack when my answer is already here. Give me seeing eyes. Give me obedient feet. And let me experience the potential of the little You have given me, in Jesus’ mighty name.”
Action Steps:
- The “Pot of Oil” Inventory: Today, take 15 minutes to list everything you have in your house, your skill set, your relationships, and your life that could be the seed of a miracle. Do not despise anything as “too small.” Write it all down.
- The Elisha Question: Ask yourself honestly: What has God given me that I have dismissed as ‘nothing’? Identify one thing. Then ask God for instructions on what to do with it.
- The Seeing Eyes Prayer: For the next seven days, begin each morning with this prayer: “Lord, give me seeing eyes today. Show me what I have been missing. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me.”
“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.” (Proverbs 20:12)
Your solution may already be in your house. Your breakthrough may already be in your hand. Stop looking for what you don’t have and ask God to open your eyes to what you do have. The pot of oil is enough—if you have eyes to see it and feet to obey.
