RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 27 AUGUST 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
God created man such that he would constantly need refuelling. That is why He made sure that every day would be followed by a night so that, if you have worked very hard during the day, you can sleep and retuel your energy at night. Also, after you have eaten breakfast and worked for some time, you are expected to take a break for lunch to refuel.
The Almighty God created hunger to remind you that you are running low on energy, so you can go ahead and recharge by eating. In the same way batteries must be recharged from time to time so they can remain effective, you must constantly recharge yourself spiritually so that you will not become spiritually ineffective.
Whenever you begin to run low on spiritual energy, there will be a hunger in your spirit, and you will feel the need to refill. When that hunger comes, please don’t ignore it. Start fasting and praying immediately to recharge your spiritual energy. If you allow the hunger to persist, you will become weak, and this may cause you to faint in the day of adversity (Proverbs 24:10).
God, in His infinite mercy, has also provided the Holy Communion as a very effective way for Christians to refuel spiritually. The wine of the Holy Communion represents the blood of Jesus, and since the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), then the life of Jesus is in His blood. You cannot drink the blood of Jesus worthily and remain weak.
People who belong to occult groups understand the power of blood. When members of the occult want to receive more power, they are asked to make sacrifices that involve blood. The greater the power they seek, the greater the sacrifices required. In most cases, those who rise to the highest levels of such groups are asked to drink the blood of their victims for quicker and greater empowerment.
As children of God, when we partake of the Holy Communion, we partake of the blood of our risen Lord. Today’s memory verse tells us that the blood of Jesus speaks better things than that of Abel. When you are weak, the blood of Jesus will speak strength and might into you.
Beloved, never wait until you are completely drained of your spiritual strength. Whenever you find yourself getting weak spiritually, partake of the Holy Communion to recharge yourself, and you will receive fresh energy from the endless life of Christ.
KEY POINT
Partaking of the Holy Communion will refuel your spiritual energy.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 27 AUGUST 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Hebrews 12:24
“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
The blood of Jesus is not silent—it speaks. It declares mercy, forgiveness, and life. When you are weak, His blood speaks strength and refreshing into your spirit.
BIBLE READING: Leviticus 17:11, Matthew 26:27-29
Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls.”
Matthew 26:27-28 – “And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
The life of the flesh is in the blood. In the Old Testament, blood atoned for sin. In the New Covenant, the blood of Jesus cleanses, empowers, and speaks life into us.
You Must Constantly Refuel Spiritually
“God created man such that he would constantly need refuelling. That is why He made sure that every day would be followed by a night so that, if you have worked very hard during the day, you can sleep and refuel your energy at night.

Do Not Ignore Spiritual Hunger
“Whenever you begin to run low on spiritual energy, there will be a hunger in your spirit, and you will feel the need to refill. When that hunger comes, please don’t ignore it. Start fasting and praying immediately to recharge your spiritual energy.”
| Signs of Spiritual Hunger | What to Do |

| Spiritual dryness | Seek God’s presence |
“If you allow the hunger to persist, you will become weak, and this may cause you to faint in the day of adversity (Proverbs 24:10).”
Proverbs 24:10 – “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.”
| If You Ignore Spiritual Hunger | The Result |
|---|---|
| You become weak | You faint in the day of adversity |
| You lose effectiveness | You cannot withstand the enemy |
| You grow dry | You miss God’s best |
The Holy Communion: A Powerful Way to Refuel
“God, in His infinite mercy, has also provided the Holy Communion as a very effective way for Christians to refuel spiritually. The wine of the Holy Communion represents the blood of Jesus, and since the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), then the life of Jesus is in His blood. You cannot drink the blood of Jesus worthily and remain weak.”
Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood.”
| The Blood of Jesus | What It Does |
|---|---|
| The life of Jesus is in His blood | It speaks strength into you |
| It cleanses from sin | It restores your spirit |
| It empowers you | It recharges your spiritual battery |
“You cannot drink the blood of Jesus worthily and remain weak.”
The Occult World’s Understanding of Blood
“People who belong to occult groups understand the power of blood. When members of the occult want to receive more power, they are asked to make sacrifices that involve blood. The greater the power they seek, the greater the sacrifices required. In most cases, those who rise to the highest levels of such groups are asked to drink the blood of their victims for quicker and greater empowerment.”
| The Occult Uses Blood | The Believer Partakes of Blood |
|---|---|
| Sacrifices of victims | The blood of Jesus |
| Blood for demonic power | Blood for divine life |
| Blood that curses | Blood that blesses |
The Blood of Jesus Speaks Better Things
“As children of God, when we partake of the Holy Communion, we partake of the blood of our risen Lord. Today’s memory verse tells us that the blood of Jesus speaks better things than that of Abel. When you are weak, the blood of Jesus will speak strength and might into you.”
Hebrews 12:24 – “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
| The Blood of Abel | The Blood of Jesus |
|---|---|
| Cried out for vengeance (Genesis 4:10) | Speaks mercy and forgiveness |
| Called for judgment | Speaks life and peace |
| Could not save | Saves to the uttermost |
How to Refuel Spiritually (Practical Steps)
Based on Daddy Adeboye’s teaching, here is how to keep your spiritual batteries charged:
1. Recognize the Signs of Spiritual Weakness
When you feel dry, unmotivated to pray, or disconnected from God, do not ignore it. Spiritual hunger is your signal to refuel.
2. Fast and Pray
Fasting breaks the power of the flesh and recharges your spirit. Do not wait until you are completely drained. Start fasting and praying immediately.
3. Partake of the Holy Communion Regularly
Do not treat the Communion as a mere ritual. Receive it by faith. The blood of Jesus speaks strength, healing, and life into you.
4. Drink Worthily
Examine yourself before partaking. Come with a repentant heart. Do not partake casually. Partake with faith and reverence.
5. Stay Connected to the Source
You cannot run on empty. Stay connected to Jesus through prayer, His word, and the Communion. He is your source of life.
Warning: Spiritual Neglect Leads to Fainting
Daddy Adeboye’s devotional carries an urgent warning: if you ignore spiritual hunger, you will faint in the day of adversity.
| If You Neglect Refuelling | The Result |
|---|---|
| You grow weak | You cannot stand in trials |
| You become dry | You lose your effectiveness |
| You faint in adversity | You miss your destiny |
Conclusion: Your Prayer for Spiritual Refuelling
Daddy Adeboye closes with the call to partaking of the Holy Communion to receive fresh energy from the endless life of Christ.
Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I thank You for the blood of the New Covenant. I thank You that Your blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel. When I am weak, Your blood speaks strength. When I am dry, Your blood speaks life. I come to You to refuel my spirit. I do not want to faint in the day of adversity. I will fast and pray. I will partake of Your Communion worthily. Let Your blood refresh me, renew me, and empower me. In Jesus’ mighty name.”
