OPEN HEAVEN 27 JUNE 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: SEEING EYES II
MEMORISE:
And in that day shall the deat hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
Isaiah 29:18
READ: Genesis 21:14-19
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 JUNE 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Yesterday, I mentioned that eyes that see are not just physical eyes. When the Lord gives you eyes that see, you will begin to experience relief in any situation where you might have previously experienced hardship.
In today’s Bible reading, as Hagar and her son, Ishmael, journeyed in the wilderness, they ran out of water to drink. The wilderness is not a place to wander in without water; hence, it did not take long before Ishmael got dehydrated and weak. He became so weak that his mother thought he would die. Knowing that there was nothing she could do to keep her son alive, she distanced herself from him and began to weep.
At that moment, God intervened and opened her eyes to see that the solution to her problem was right beside her. There was a well of water close to her, but she didn’t see it until God opened her eyes. How sad would it have been if she had died of thirst without knowing that the solution she was seeking was so close to her. If you are currently experiencing any challenges, I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the right solutions to them, in Jesus’ name.
When people don’t have seeing eyes, they will walk in darkness. They may have blessings all around them, but they may still suffer because they cannot see them. Those who do not have seeing eyes are at the mercy of others. They stumble at things that shouldn’t ordinarily trip them up because they cannot see. Darkness brings confusion and emptiness, and this is why the earth was void and without form until God commanded light to be (Genesis 1:2).
Beloved, God wants to give you eyes that see so that you can see His numerous blessings and enjoy His never-ending goodness. What He wanted Hagar to see was a well of water; however, for you, He might want you to see another source of income, a better way of doing all that He wants you to do, or better ways of relating with people.
He does not want you to live in darkness; rather, He wants you to be full of light. He wants to show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places. I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see all the good things He has prepared for you, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, please give me seeing eyes so I can walk in Your light and not stumble in darkness.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 JUNE 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Isaiah 29:18
“And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.”
This verse is a prophetic promise of divine sight. Daddy Adeboye anchors today’s devotional on this text because it reveals that God specializes in opening eyes that have been closed—whether physically or spiritually. The phrase “out of obscurity and out of darkness” describes the natural state of the unseeing eye. But God says: I will bring sight out of blindness, clarity out of confusion, and revelation out of obscurity. What you cannot see today, God can reveal in an instant. What has been hidden from you, God can uncover with a single word.
BIBLE READING: Genesis 21:14-19
This passage records the story of Hagar and Ishmael after Abraham sent them away. Abraham gave Hagar bread and a bottle of water, and she departed into the wilderness of Beersheba. When the water was spent, she cast the child under a shrub and went away from him, saying, “Let me not see the death of the child.” She sat down and wept. Then God heard the voice of the lad, and an angel called to Hagar from heaven, saying, “Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad… Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.” Then “God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water” —a well that had been there all along. She went and filled the bottle with water and gave the lad a drink. Daddy Adeboye uses this to show that the solution was present but invisible until God opened Hagar’s eyes.
Hagar’s Wilderness: A Well She Could Not See
1. The Desperate Situation
“In today’s Bible reading, as Hagar and her son, Ishmael, journeyed in the wilderness, they ran out of water to drink. The wilderness is not a place to wander in without water; hence, it did not take long before Ishmael got dehydrated and weak.”
Consider the progression of their crisis:
| Stage | Condition |
|---|---|
| Water spent | The bottle was empty |
| Ishmael weak | Dehydrated, near death |
| Hagar despairs | She places the child under a shrub, distances herself |
| She weeps | She believes death is inevitable |
“He became so weak that his mother thought he would die. Knowing that there was nothing she could do to keep her son alive, she distanced herself from him and began to weep.”
Hagar did what any mother would do in hopelessness. She had no water. She had no strength. She had no plan. All she could do was weep and wait for death.
2. The Hidden Solution
“At that moment, God intervened and opened her eyes to see that the solution to her problem was right beside her. There was a well of water close to her, but she didn’t see it until God opened her eyes.”
This is the central revelation of the passage:
| What Hagar Knew | What Hagar Did Not Know |
|---|---|
| She had a bottle (empty) | A well was nearby |
| She had a dying child | Water was within reach |
| She had no options | The solution was already present |
“How sad would it have been if she had died of thirst without knowing that the solution she was seeking was so close to her.”
The tragedy is not that the well was absent. The tragedy is that the well was present but invisible. Hagar was weeping next to water. Her child was dying next to life. The solution was not miles away—it was right beside her. But she could not see it until God opened her eyes.
“If you are currently experiencing any challenges, I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the right solutions to them, in Jesus’ name.”
The Condition of Unseeing Eyes
1. Walking in Darkness Amidst Light
“When people don’t have seeing eyes, they will walk in darkness. They may have blessings all around them, but they may still suffer because they cannot see them.”
| Unseeing Eyes Experience | Reality |
|---|---|
| Feel surrounded by darkness | Light is present but unrecognized |
| Feel empty and void | Blessings are all around but invisible |
| Feel abandoned by God | God is near but unseen |
| Feel hopeless | The solution is beside them |
“Those who do not have seeing eyes are at the mercy of others. They stumble at things that shouldn’t ordinarily trip them up because they cannot see.”
Consider the dangers of spiritual blindness:
| Area | Without Seeing Eyes | With Seeing Eyes |
|---|---|---|
| Finances | You miss income opportunities right in front of you | You see the “well” of provision |
| Relationships | You stay in toxic relationships because you cannot see the escape | You see the exit and take it |
| Ministry | You wait for a “bigger platform” while ignoring the person in front of you | You see the divine appointment in every conversation |
| Problems | You only see the crisis | You see the solution embedded in the crisis |
2. Darkness Brings Confusion and Emptiness (Genesis 1:2)
“Darkness brings confusion and emptiness, and this is why the earth was void and without form until God commanded light to be (Genesis 1:2).”
Genesis 1:2 – “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
| Before Light | After Light |
|---|---|
| Void (empty, useless) | Full of potential, teeming with life |
| Without form (chaotic, disordered) | Ordered, purposeful, beautiful |
| Darkness (hidden, invisible) | Light (revealed, clear) |
When God said, “Let there be light,” He did not create something new. He revealed what was already there. The earth existed. The waters existed. The deep existed. But without light, they were formless, void, and dark. Light did not create the potential—it revealed the potential.
The same is true for you. Your potential exists. Your solution is present. Your well is nearby. But without God’s light—without “seeing eyes”—you will walk in darkness, confusion, and emptiness, even while surrounded by abundance.
What God Wants You to See
1. For Hagar: A Well of Water
“What He wanted Hagar to see was a well of water…”
Hagar needed physical water to save her son’s life. The well was there. She just needed her eyes opened to see it.
2. For You: Customized Sight
“…for you, He might want you to see another source of income, a better way of doing all that He wants you to do, or better ways of relating with people.”
| Possible “Wells” God Wants You to See | Description |
|---|---|
| Another source of income | A side business, a skill you can monetize, an investment opportunity |
| A better way of doing things | A process improvement, a time management strategy, a new approach |
| Better ways of relating | Forgiveness where you held offense, connection where you isolated |
| A person you overlooked | A divine connection sitting in your church, workplace, or neighborhood |
| A resource you already own | A tool, a book, a talent, a relationship you have neglected |
“He does not want you to live in darkness; rather, He wants you to be full of light.”
Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
God’s will is not for you to stumble in darkness. His will is for you to be so full of light that you see clearly, walk steadily, and illuminate the path for others.
3. Treasures of Darkness and Hidden Riches
“He wants to show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places.”
Isaiah 45:3 – “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.”
| What This Means | Examples |
|---|---|
| Treasures in dark times | Lessons, character, resilience, faith forged in trials |
| Hidden riches in difficult seasons | Connections, insights, opportunities that only appear in adversity |
| Wealth in secret places | What the world overlooks, God reveals to those with seeing eyes |
Your darkest season may contain your greatest treasure—if you have eyes to see it. Your greatest crisis may be hiding your greatest breakthrough—if God opens your eyes.
How to Receive Seeing Eyes (Practical Steps)
Based on Daddy Adeboye’s teaching and the example of Hagar, here is how to position yourself for divine sight:
1. Acknowledge That You Cannot See on Your Own
Hagar did not find the well by searching harder. She did not stumble upon it by walking further. She wept in despair until God opened her eyes. Humility is the posture for receiving sight. Admit: “Lord, I am blind to my own solutions. I need You to open my eyes.”
2. Cry Out to the God Who Opens Eyes
Hagar did not pray (the text does not record her praying). But God heard the voice of the lad and intervened. Do not remain silent. Cry out: “Lord, open my eyes! Show me what I am missing!”
3. Stop Walking and Start Looking
Hagar stopped walking, sat down, and wept. Sometimes you need to stop striving, stop searching, stop exhausting yourself, and simply ask God to show you what is already there.
| Instead of… | Do This… |
|---|---|
| Running frantically for solutions | Be still and ask God to open your eyes |
| Looking farther away | Look at what is already around you |
| Despairing over what you don’t have | Ask to see what you do have |
4. Expect the Well to Be Near, Not Far
Hagar’s well was not miles away. It was right beside her. Do not assume that your solution requires a move, a new job, a new relationship, or a new country. Your well may be in your house, your neighborhood, your current church, or your existing skill set.
5. Obey Once You See
When God opened Hagar’s eyes, she did not sit and admire the well. She went and filled the bottle and gave the lad a drink. Seeing eyes without obedient feet are useless. When God shows you the solution, act on it immediately.
Warning: Do Not Die Next to Your Well
Daddy Adeboye’s devotional carries an urgent warning: it is possible to be so close to your solution that you can almost touch it—and still die because your eyes are closed.
| The Tragedy | The Prevention |
|---|---|
| Hagar almost died of thirst next to a well | God opened her eyes in time |
| The widow almost lost her sons while sitting on a pot of oil | Elisha opened her eyes to her resource |
| Isaac could have starved in famine while possessing sowing potential | God showed him the opportunity |
“I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see all the good things He has prepared for you, in Jesus’ name.”
Do not be the one who dies of thirst with water within reach. Do not be the one who remains in debt with oil in the house. Do not be the one who misses breakthrough because your eyes are closed. Ask God for seeing eyes. Today.
Conclusion: Your Prayer for Seeing Eyes
Daddy Adeboye closes with a prayer for sight—for wells to be revealed, for darkness to be turned to light, for hidden riches to be uncovered. Pray this prayer with desperation and faith.
Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I come to You as Hagar came to the wilderness—thirsty, desperate, and unable to see my solution. Forgive me for the days I have walked in darkness when You have placed light all around me. Forgive me for weeping next to wells, for dying of thirst while water was within reach. Today, I ask You: open my eyes. Show me the well in my wilderness. Show me the oil in my house. Show me the opportunity in my famine. Show me the treasure in my darkness. I do not want to stumble when I could walk. I do not want to perish when I could thrive. Give me seeing eyes—eyes that see what You see, eyes that recognize Your provision, eyes that turn obscurity into clarity and darkness into light. In Jesus’ mighty name.”
Action Steps:
- The “Well” Inventory: Today, stop and look around your life—your home, your skills, your relationships, your current circumstances. Ask God: “What well is here that I have been unable to see?” Write down what He shows you.
- The Despair Check: Is there any area where you have given up—where you have “placed the child under a shrub” and walked away weeping? Return to that area today. Ask God to open your eyes there.
- The Sight Prayer: For the next seven days, begin each morning with this specific prayer: “Lord, open my eyes today. Show me what I have been missing. Let me see the well beside me.” At the end of each day, write down what you saw that you had not seen before.
“And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.” (Isaiah 29:18)
Your well is nearer than you think. Your solution is closer than you imagine. Do not die of thirst next to water. Do not perish in debt next to oil. Ask God for seeing eyes. He who formed the eye can open it. And when He does, you will see—and live.
