OPEN HEAVEN 31 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD
MEMORISE:
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms 150:6
READ: Psalms 107:1-9
1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 31 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
In 2 Samuel 6:14, the Bible says that David danced with all his might. God loved David so much and was always with him because he was always praising Him. Whenever demons tormented Saul and David played the harp, God’s presence would fill the room, and the demons would run away (1 Samuel 16:23).
Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. When you praise God regularly, demons cannot stay around you because once light comes in, darkness must flee (John 1:5).
Beloved, you must learn to praise God daily. In the Scriptures, you’ll find many reasons to praise Him. In Genesis 17:1, God calls Himself Jehovah Elshaddai, the God who is more than enough. In Genesis 18:9-14 and Jeremiah 32:27, He is revealed as the God of all flesh, with whom nothing is impossible. In Exodus 15:26, He introduced Himself as “…the Lord that healeth thee” because He is the Great Physician. In Psalm 24:7-10, He introduced Himself by two titles: The King of glory and the Lord of hosts.
In Psalm 23:1, He presents Himself as Jehovah Rohi, the Good Shepherd who provides everything you need. In Genesis 16:13, He is El-Roi, the All-seeing, All-knowing, everattentive God. He cares intimately about you and knows you by name (Exodus 33:17). In Jeremiah 32:17-19, He is El Gibhor, the mighty God who rescues. In Exodus 17:15, He is called Jehovah Nissi, your mighty banner of deliverance. In Isaiah 1:24, He is Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts; He fights visible and invisible battles on your behalf and gives you victory over the enemy.
According to Ezekiel 48:35, He is Jehovah Shammah, the ever-present One. He is always there when you need Him, and He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He is the Alpha and Omega of your life (Revelation 21:6); He always has the first and final say (Isaiah 44:6). He alone is God (Psalm 86:10);
He is always good (Psalm 73:1), ever faithful (Lamentations 3:23), all-sufficient (Genesis 17:1), and never changing (Malachi 3:6). God is your comforter (John 14:16), deliverer (2 Samuel 22:2), helper (Psalm 54:4), teacher (John 14:26), strength, and song (Exodus 15:2).
He is your very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and does exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). He saved you and will keep you until the end (Jude 1:24).
Beloved, you have breath in you; therefore, you have every reason to praise God.

HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalms 150:6
“Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
This verse establishes praise as creation’s mandate—every living being exists to glorify God.
BIBLE READING: Psalms 107:1-9
This passage reveals four foundational reasons to praise:
- v.1: God’s goodness (“for He is good”)
- v.2: Redemption testimony (“let the redeemed say so”)
- v.8: Wonderful works (“Oh that men would praise Him!”)
- v.9: Satisfaction (“filleth the hungry soul”)
The Power and Purpose of Praise
Daddy Adeboye’s teaching unfolds three dimensions of divine praise:
1. Praise as Warfare (2 Samuel 6:14, 1 Samuel 16:23)
- David’s Model:
- Danced violently → God’s presence manifested
- Played harp → Demons fled
- Spiritual Physics:
- Praise = Light (John 1:5)
- Darkness cannot coexist with true worship
2. The Names of God: A Praise Catalogue
| Name | Meaning | Praise Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Jehovah Elshaddai | All-Sufficient One | “You’re more than enough!” |
| El-Roi | All-Seeing God | “You know my struggles!” |
| Jehovah Nissi | Banner of Victory | “You fight for me!” |
| Jehovah Shammah | Ever-Present | “You’re here right now!” |
3. Praise as Divine Attraction (Psalm 22:3)
- Habitation Principle:
- Continuous praise → Continuous presence
- Result:
- Demons cannot operate
- Miracles become normal
How to Cultivate a Lifestyle of Praise
1. The 7-Day Praise Challenge
- Daily Focus: Meditate on one name of God
- Monday: Jehovah Jireh (Provider)
- Tuesday: Jehovah Rapha (Healer)
- Wednesday: Jehovah Shalom (Peace)
- Thursday: Jehovah Tsidkenu (Righteousness)
- Friday: Jehovah Rohi (Shepherd)
- Saturday: Jehovah Sabaoth (Lord of Hosts)
- Sunday: Alpha & Omega (Beginning & End)
2. Create a “Praise Arsenal”
- Scripture Cards: Write verses about God’s names
- Worship Playlist: Songs that declare His attributes
- Praise Journal: Record daily reasons to thank Him
3. Practical Praise Actions
- Morning: Start with 10 mins of thanksgiving
- Driving: Replace radio with worship music
- Work Breaks: Whisper praises (e.g., “You are my healer!”)
- Bedtime: End the day with gratitude
Prayer for a Praise-Filled Life
“Father, ignite my heart with unquenchable praise! Where I’ve been silent, give me a song. Where darkness lingers, let my worship bring Your light. Make my life a continuous anthem of Your greatness, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Praise Audit:
- Note how often you complain vs. praise daily
- Replace one complaint habit with praise
- Praise Walk:
- Take a 15-minute walk praising God aloud
- Praise Partner:
- Find someone to exchange daily praise reports
Conclusion: Breath = Reason to Praise
Daddy Adeboye’s message resounds: As long as you have breath, you have a reason—and a command—to praise.
“Your praise isn’t just reaction to blessings; it’s the weapon that secures them.”
