OPEN HEAVENS 29 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: HAVE FAITH IN GOD
MEMORISE:
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38
READ: Mark 11:20-24
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 29 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Having faith in God means trusting in Him, even in seemingly hopeless situations. When believers truly understand who God is, they will diligently seek Him and put all their faith in Him. In turn, God will never let them down. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Faith in God comes from truly knowing Him. Daniel 11:32 says that those who know their God will be strong and do exploits. Beloved, how well do you know God? Do you trust Him enough to do exactly what He tells you to do, whether it makes sense or not? In 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah told the people, “If the Lord is God, serve Him. If Baal is God, serve him.” If you are trusting God for a miracle, then you must believe that He is the Almighty God who can do even more than what you have asked of Him (Ephesians 3:20).
The Bible says that the just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17). James 1:6-7 also says that you should not even expect to receive anything from God if you go to Him with doubts.
When I became General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the church kept growing to the point that our headquarters in Ebute Metta became too small for us. I got some of the church elders together, and we fasted and prayed for days. At the end of the prayers, God spoke: “Now that you’ve cried to Me for a campground, I will show you where it is.” Then, He showed us a jungle, which was the headquarters of highway robbers and all manner of dangerous animals. I thought to myself, “How can God choose this place of all places?” However, I went ahead with what He said because I have faith in Him. Today, that jungle has become a city.
When God says that all is well, you can be sure that all will be well. In Matthew 9:27-30, Jesus asked two blind men who were looking up at Him for a miracle if they believed He could heal them, and they replied, “Yes.” Jesus responded, “Be it unto you according to your faith,” and they were healed.
Beloved, put your faith in God, and He will give you miracles that are far beyond your expectations.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to trust You completely, even when situations seem impossible, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Luke 19-20
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY
Today’s devotional, “Have Faith in God,” calls us to trust God even in seemingly hopeless situations. It shows us that faith is not a blind leap into the dark — it is a confident response to knowing who God is. The disciples were amazed when the fig tree Jesus cursed withered from its roots. Jesus did not tell them to admire the miracle; He told them to have faith in God. The lesson was not about the tree — it was about the God who speaks and it comes to pass.
Do you know God well enough to trust Him completely? Do you trust Him enough to do exactly what He says, whether it makes sense or not? If you want stronger faith, you don’t need more effort — you need more of Him.
1. Faith Comes from Knowing God
Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. But faith is not produced by trying harder — it is produced by knowing Him more. Daniel 11:32 says those who know their God will be strong and do exploits.
The more you know God, the more you trust Him. Trust is not built in a moment of crisis; it is built in a daily relationship.
Many believers struggle with faith because they know about God but they don’t know God. They have heard sermons, read books, and attended services — but they have not cultivated intimacy. Faith is the natural fruit of relationship. If you want more faith, you don’t need more effort — you need more of Him.
2. Faith Does Not Entertain Doubt
James 1:6-7 says you should not expect to receive anything from God if you go to Him with doubts. The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17).
Doubt is not the same as questions. Questions seek understanding; doubt refuses to trust. You can ask God questions while still believing Him. But you cannot pray and simultaneously be convinced God won’t answer. That is double-mindedness — and double-minded prayers receive nothing.
Examine your prayers. Are you praying with confidence or with hesitation? Are you asking God while secretly expecting failure? Faith-filled prayer is not louder — it is settled.
3. Faith Obeys Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense
When Daddy became General Overseer, the church grew so much that the headquarters became too small. He and the elders fasted and prayed. God spoke: “I will show you where the campground is.” Then He showed them a jungle — the headquarters of highway robbers and dangerous animals.
Daddy thought, “How can God choose this place?” But he went ahead because he had faith in Him. Today, that jungle has become a city.
Faith is not validated by logic; it is validated by obedience. God’s instructions often don’t make sense to human reasoning.The story of Abraham and Naaman show the miracle was on the other side of obedience.
What has God told you to do that doesn’t make sense? Start the business? Forgive the person? Give the offering? Take the step? Your reasoning may protest — but your obedience will produce the miracle.
4. Faith Receives Beyond What You Ask
Ephesians 3:20 says God can do even more than what you have asked of Him. In Matthew 9:27-30, Jesus asked two blind men if they believed He could heal them. They said yes. He replied, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” And they were healed.
Faith does not limit God to what you can imagine. It positions you to receive more than you expected.
Pray boldly. Don’t limit God to the size of your request. Ask according to His ability, not your circumstances.
Relating This to Your Everyday Life
You may be facing a situation that looks hopeless — a sickness, a financial crisis, a broken relationship, a delayed promise. Faith does not deny the reality of the situation. It denies the finality of it.
Daddy’s decision to build on a robber-infested jungle did not make sense. But God said it, and he believed it. Today that jungle is a city. Your situation may look like a jungle right now — dangerous, chaotic, impossible. But if God has spoken, it can become a city.
Put your faith in God. Not in your circumstances, not in your feelings, not in your resources — but in the God who cannot lie.
Action Steps
1. Invest in Knowing God — Faith grows from relationship. Spend more time in His Word and in His presence. The more you know Him, the more you trust Him.
2. Pray Without Doubting — Examine your prayers. When you ask, believe that you have received. Don’t limit God with your doubt.
3. Obey the Instruction That Doesn’t Make Sense — Whatever God has told you to do — even if it seems illogical — do it. Your obedience is the doorway to your miracle.
Prayer Points
- Father, I thank You because You are faithful and true. Thank You for being a God who never fails, never lies, and never breaks His promises, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, forgive me for the times I have doubted You. Forgive me for limiting You with my unbelief and praying without confidence, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, increase my faith. Draw me into a deeper knowledge of You. Let my trust in You grow as I spend time in Your presence, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, I choose to pray without doubting. I believe that whatever I ask in faith, I have received. Let my prayers be answered, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, I will obey You even when it doesn’t make sense. Give me the courage to step out on Your word, not on my logic, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, I receive beyond my request. You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. Let Your power be manifested in my life, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, I declare that I walk by faith and not by sight. I am fully persuaded that what You have promised, You are able to perform, in Jesus’ name.
