OPEN HEAVENS 31 AUGUST 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: JUST KEEP SOWING
MEMORISE:
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9
READ: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 31 AUGUST 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
Some people attain a level of success in life and believe they have reached the pinnacle of success, so they stop doing the things that helped them become successful. Before long, however, they often come to the realisation that they have begun to regress. This is why, if you have found a key that has helped you make progress in any area of your life and become successful, you must keep using it.
The moment a fellow stops doing the things that helped him or her to become successful, such a person will begin to regress.
Genesis 26:12-14 says:
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Isaac sowed in a time of famine because God told him not to leave the land (Genesis 26:2). He sowed the first year and had a hundred-fold return.
However, he didn’t stop there. I imagine that in the second year, he sowed again, and because he had a hundredfold more than he used to have, he sowed a hundred times more seeds than he sowed the first year and reaped an even greater harvest. I imagine that he kept sowing year after year, thereby compounding his harvest.
As a result, he continued to progress until it reached a point that his prosperity became very evident. He became so prosperous that the king of the country came to tell him that he had become mightier than the entire nation, even though he was an immigrant (Genesis 26:16). Isaac didn’t stop at one level of prosperity; he kept sowing and moving forward until an entire nation envied him.
Of a truth, it is God who gives prosperity. In 1 Corinthians 3:6, Paul said, ” I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” Paul may plant, Apollos may water, but it is God who ultimately gives the increase. However, there will be no increase if nothing has been planted and watered.
This means that the more seeds you plant, the greater your harvest should be. Based on the principle of sowing and reaping, when a person stops planting and watering, the flow of prosperity and increase will also stop. Beloved, do not be tired of sowing because that is the key to perpetual prosperity.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me the grace to keep sowing in season and out of season, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 31 AUGUST 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Galatians 6:9
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Persistent sowing is the key to perpetual harvest. Do not grow tired of doing good—your harvest is coming. The moment you stop sowing, the flow of increase stops.
BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
This passage encourages persistent sowing: “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” It calls for sowing in the morning and evening, for you do not know which will prosper. It warns against waiting for perfect conditions and reminds us that sowing is always worthwhile.
The Danger of Stopping After Success
“Some people attain a level of success in life and believe they have reached the pinnacle of success, so they stop doing the things that helped them become successful. Before long, however, they often come to the realisation that they have begun to regress.”
| If You Stop Doing What Got You There | The Result |
|---|---|
| You begin to regress | The increase stops |
| You lose what you gained | Your prosperity fades |
| You think you have arrived | You start declining |
“This is why, if you have found a key that has helped you make progress in any area of your life and become successful, you must keep using it. The moment a fellow stops doing the things that helped him or her to become successful, such a person will begin to regress.”
Isaac’s Example: Continuous Sowing Produced Continuous Increase
“Genesis 26:12-14 says: Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.”
Genesis 26:12-14 – “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.”
| What Isaac Did | The Result |
|---|---|
| Sowed in a time of famine | Received a hundredfold |
| Did not stop sowing | He went forward |
| Continued planting | He became very great |
“He sowed the first year and had a hundred-fold return. However, he didn’t stop there. I imagine that in the second year, he sowed again, and because he had a hundredfold more than he used to have, he sowed a hundred times more seeds than he sowed the first year and reaped an even greater harvest.”
| Year One | Year Two | The Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Sowed once | Sowed a hundred times more | Continuous sowing |
| Reaped a hundredfold | Reaped even greater | Compounding increase |
“I imagine that he kept sowing year after year, thereby compounding his harvest. As a result, he continued to progress until it reached a point that his prosperity became very evident.”
| The Progression | The Outcome |
|---|---|
| He sowed year after year | His harvest compounded |
| He did not stop | He became very great |
| He kept going | The king said he was mightier than the nation |
Sowing and Reaping: The Key to Perpetual Prosperity
“Of a truth, it is God who gives prosperity. In 1 Corinthians 3:6, Paul said, ‘I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.’ Paul may plant, Apollos may water, but it is God who ultimately gives the increase. However, there will be no increase if nothing has been planted and watered.”
1 Corinthians 3:6 – “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”
| The Principle | The Application |
|---|---|
| Planting and watering are necessary | Without sowing, there is no harvest |
| God gives the increase | But He gives it on sown seed |
| If you stop sowing | The increase stops |
“This means that the more seeds you plant, the greater your harvest should be. Based on the principle of sowing and reaping, when a person stops planting and watering, the flow of prosperity and increase will also stop.”
How to Keep Sowing and Never Grow Weary (Practical Steps)
Based on Daddy Adeboye’s teaching, here is how to maintain perpetual prosperity:
1. Do Not Stop Sowing
Whatever key brought you success—prayer, giving, hard work, studying—keep using it. Do not stop because you have reached a milestone.
2. Sow More As You Get More
Isaac sowed a hundred times more after his first harvest. As God blesses you, increase your sowing. Do not decrease your investment.
3. Sow in Times of Famine
Isaac sowed in a year of famine. Do not wait for perfect conditions. Sow when it is hard. Sow when it costs. That is where the greatest increase comes.
4. Do Not Be Weary in Well-Doing
Galatians 6:9 – “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
| If You Faint Not | The Result |
|---|---|
| You will reap in due season | The harvest will come |
| You will not grow weary | You will keep increasing |
5. Trust God for the Increase
God gives the increase. Do your part—sow and water. Trust Him to bring the harvest.
Warning: Stopping Sowing Stops Increase
Daddy Adeboye’s devotional carries an urgent warning: prosperity is not a destination; it is a process.
| If You Stop Sowing | The Result |
|---|---|
| The harvest stops | The increase stops |
| You begin to regress | You lose what you gained |
Conclusion: Your Prayer for Persistent Sowing
Daddy Adeboye closes with the call to keep sowing. Do not grow weary. The harvest is coming.
Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I thank You for the harvest You have given me. Help me not to stop sowing. I will not grow weary in well-doing. I will continue to plant and water. I will sow in times of famine. I will sow more as You bless me more. I trust You for the increase. I will not regress. I will go forward. In Jesus’ mighty name.”
Action Steps:
- The Sowing Audit: What key brought you success? Are you still using it? If you have stopped, begin again today.
- The Increase Plan: As God blesses you, increase your sowing. Give more. Pray more. Invest more.
- The Weariness Check: Have you grown tired of doing good? Ask God to renew your strength and keep you persistent.
