OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
MEMORISE:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:11
READ: Matthew 8:5-13
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34); whatever He has done for somebody else before, He can do for you also. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-16, there was a widow who had only one meal left. God paid her a visit, and that final meal lasted another three years.
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, there was another widow who had only one pot of oil. The Lord moved in her situation, and the oil kept multiplying until there was enough to sell to pay all her debts and live on for her lifetime. If you’ve seen God do something you desire for somebody, take that as an assurance that He can do the same for you. When you come across an account of a kind of miracle that you desire in the Scriptures, rejoice because your own miracle is on its way.
As long as they’re His children, God isn’t partial to anyone or any type of people; all that matters to Him is that you believe, because all things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23). God is a God of principles, and anyone who follows His principles and has faith in Him will experience His goodness and power.
Jesus couldn’t do many mighty works in His hometown because of the people’s unbelief (Matthew 13:58). Even though they were His townspeople, as long as they didn’t have faith, they couldn’t receive miracles. Unbelief closed the doors of miracles to them, and Jesus, who had the Holy Spirit without measure (John 3:34), could only heal a few sick people (Mark 6:5). No matter how close you think you are to God, if you harbour unbelief, you may limit what He can do in your life and through you.
When someone has faith, regardless of the fellow’s nationality, ability, or status, he or she will experience great miracles. When Jesus was on earth, while some Jews were dying in their sicknesses because of their unbelief, some Gentiles were receiving jaw-dropping miracles. The Centurion in today’s Bible reading is an example of a Gentile whose faith attracted miracles. He understood that distance isn’t a barrier when faith is present, and Jesus was amazed at his great faith.
Beloved, if you have faith in God concerning a miracle you’ve seen or read about, God is able to replicate the same in your life. It doesn’t matter how terrible your situation is or the obstacles that surround you; if you believe, you will see God’s glory at work (John 11:40).
OPEN HEAVEN 27 AUGUST KEY POINT
God is no respecter of persons. He only respects and responds to His principles and our faith.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Ezekiel 13-15
HYMN 35: ’TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Romans 2:11
“For there is no respect of persons with God.”
This verse declares God’s impartiality—His power flows to all who meet His conditions, regardless of status, race, or background.
BIBLE READING: Matthew 8:5-13
This passage reveals three faith principles:
- v.8: Authority recognition (“speak the word only”)
- v.10: Faith astonishes Jesus (“great faith”)
- v.13: Distance irrelevant (“as thou hast believed…done”)
The Faith That Accesses God’s Power
Daddy Adeboye’s teaching unveils four keys to experiencing miracles:
1. The Widow Blueprint
| 1 Kings 17 Widow | 2 Kings 4 Widow | Your Miracle |
|---|---|---|
| Last meal → 3-year supply | Last oil → Lifetime wealth | Your “last” becomes “first” of overflow |
| Required obedience (v.13) | Required action (v.3-4) | Requires your specific step |
Modern Application:
- Financial crisis? → Claim Philippians 4:19
- Health failure? → Stand on 1 Peter 2:24
2. The Nazareth Warning (Matthew 13:58)
- Tragic Reality:
- Jesus could not (not would not) do miracles
- Unbelief disabled divine power
- Self-Check:
- Are my doubts limiting God?
- Do I secretly think “He helped others but won’t help me”?
3. The Centurion’s Faith Formula
- Recognized Authority (v.8):
- Understood Jesus’ unlimited power
- Transcended Tradition (v.9):
- As Gentile, accessed Jewish Messiah
- Spoke Faith (v.8):
- “Speak the word only”
4. The “No Favorites” Promise
- For Everyone:
- The same God who:
- Parted Red Sea (Exodus 14)
- Healed cancer (Daddy Adeboye’s testimony)
- Will do it for YOU if you believe (Mark 9:23)
- The same God who:
How to Activate Your Miracle
1. The 3-Step Faith Process
- Identify Your “Widow’s Oil”:
- What little do you have? (Time? Skills? $5?)
- Obey Specifically:
- Like gathering vessels (2 Kings 4:3)
- Expect Overflow:
- “According to your faith” (Matthew 9:29)
2. Destroy Unbelief Strongholds
- Renounce:
- “God helped others but not me” lies
- Replace With:
- “If He did it for them, He’ll do it for me!” (Acts 10:34)
3. Speak Like the Centurion
- Pray:
“Lord, I don’t need You to come—just SPEAK the word!” - Confess Daily:
“My miracle is already done in the spirit—now manifest!”
Prayer for Breakthrough Faith
“Father, smash every ‘Nazareth mindset’ in me! Give me Centurion faith that makes You marvel. Where I’ve seen You move for others, stir holy hunger for my own miracle. Let my story become someone else’s faith booster, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Create a “Miracle Map”:
- List 3 miracles God did for biblical characters/others
- Write your name beside each with today’s date
- Fast from Doubt-Talk:
- 3 days without saying “can’t,” “impossible,” or “but…”
- Activate Your “Oil”:
- Take your “little” (time/talent/treasure) and:
- Pray over it
- Put it to work (like the widows)
- Take your “little” (time/talent/treasure) and:
Conclusion: Your Turn for Wonders
Daddy Adeboye’s message thunders: God’s resume isn’t complete until He replicates others’ miracles in YOUR life.
“The same God who fed widows and amazed a centurion waits to write YOUR faith story—will you hand Him the pen?”
