RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 4 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
When God wants to set the stage for new things, He often starts by giving new miracles and blessings. When He wanted to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He started by using Moses’ rod to perform several miracles that no one had ever seen (Exodus 4:17).
When Jesus came to establish a new covenant, He performed so many new miracles that people said they had never seen such things happen before (Mark 2:12).
Likewise, when it was time for the apostles to take the gospel beyond Jerusalem into Samaria, Judea, and other parts of the world, Peter’s shadow began to heal the sick (Acts 5:15). Personally, I have noticed that whenever God wants to take us to a new level in RCCG, He begins by introducing new miracles that have never been experienced in our midst.
Years ago, the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International had a convention in Port Harcourt, a city in Southern Nigeria and invited me to speak on the topic, ‘New Anointing’. As I spoke, I gave some examples of what God, in His infinite mercies, had done through me. When it was time to go home, the crowd began to surge forward such that I had to be guided into my car.
A woman who had a sister that had gone completely mad decided that she would touch my car if she could not touch me. So, she took out a handkerchief, dropped it on the car I was in, and took it back before we drove off.
On getting home, she asked six hefty men to hold her sister down. Waving her handkerchief, she said, “I have the solution in my hand.” She then took the handkerchief and laid it on her sister, and she became normal again.
When God wants to move you to a new level, He usually starts with new miracles. Hence, you must be on the lookout for such miracles in your life so you can understand your seasons.
Beyond looking out for such miracles, you can also ask for them. In Acts 4:29-30, the apostles asked God to facilitate the spread of the gospel by stretching forth His mighty hand to heal the sick and perform signs and wonders. The result of this prayer was tremendous growth and increase in the church (Acts 4:31-33).
Beloved, ask God for new miracles in your life today. By doing this, you will initiate growth into a new season of your life.
ACTION POINT
Ask God to start a new thing in your life today by giving you new miracles.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 4 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY
God’s Pattern for New Beginnings
Pastor E.A. Adeboye reveals a critical principle in God’s dealings with His people: the launchpad for any new season, level, or assignment is often a unprecedented miracle. God uses new wonders to shatter limitations, authenticate His messengers, and announce the commencement of a new thing.
The Biblical Precedent for New Miracles
- The Exodus (Exodus 4:17): God commissioned Moses for a new deliverance ministry with a new miracle—turning a rod into a serpent. This sign was the first in a series of unprecedented wonders (the plagues, the Red Sea) that confirmed a new era of liberation.
- The New Covenant (Mark 2:12): Jesus inaugurated a new dispensation of grace not just with teaching, but with miracles that astounded people: healing paralytics, forgiving sins publicly, and calming storms. These were new wonders that authenticated His unique authority.
- The Apostolic Age (Acts 5:15): As the gospel was poised to expand beyond its Jewish beginnings, God released a new dimension of power: healing through Peter’s shadow. This was a unique miracle that signaled the new, pervasive power of the Holy Spirit available to all believers.
The Purpose of New Miracles
- To Authenticate a New Season: A new miracle is often God’s “green light,” signaling the end of one season and the start of another. It is His way of saying, “I am doing something now that I have not done before; pay attention.”
- To Break Limitations: New miracles shatter boxes of unbelief and tradition. They force us to expand our theology and expect more from God, just as the handkerchief miracle in Port Harcourt broke limitations of how God’s power could be transmitted.
- To Facilitate Growth and Expansion: As seen in Acts 4, miracles are catalytic. They draw attention, create awe, and open doors for the gospel, leading to explosive growth in the kingdom, just as it did in the early church and in the RCCG.
How to Position Yourself for New Miracles
1. Discern Your Season:
Be spiritually sensitive. Are you at a crossroads? Has a chapter closed? Is there a stirring for more? Understand that God’s new thing often starts with a divine disturbance of the status quo. “Shall ye not know it?” (Isaiah 43:19). Be on the lookout.
2. Ask Specifically for Them:
Do not be passive. The apostles did not assume miracles would happen; they asked for them boldly (Acts 4:29-30). Follow their example. Pray with precision: “Lord, stretch forth Your hand to perform new signs and wonders in my life, family, and ministry to initiate the new season You have promised.”
3. Step Out in Faith and Obedience:
God’s instruction to Moses was to use the rod. Peter had to walk the streets for his shadow to heal. The woman with the handkerchief had to act on her faith. New miracles often require a corresponding step of faith that aligns with God’s instruction for the new season.
4. Celebrate and Testify:
When the new miracle happens, acknowledge it. Like the man healed in Mark 2, go out and publicize what God has done. Your testimony of God’s new work is a weapon that builds faith in others and confirms the new season.
Warning: Do Not Dwell on Past Miracles
While we remember God’s past faithfulness, we must not build a shrine there. The Israelites in the wilderness longed for Egypt’s food instead of expecting God’s new provision of manna. To receive the new, we must let go of the old and avoid limiting God to what He has done before.
Conclusion: Initiate Your New Season
Pray this:
“Father, I thank You for every miracle in my past. But today, I ask for a new thing! Stretch forth Your hand like never before. Perform new signs and wonders in my life that will shatter every limitation and announce my transition into the new season You have prepared for me. Let Your power be manifested in unprecedented ways, and make me a catalyst for growth in Your kingdom, in Jesus’ mighty name.”
Action Steps:
- Identify the Limitation: What is the “wilderness” or “desert” in your life that needs a “new thing”?
- Scriptural Foundation: Meditate on Isaiah 43:19 and Acts 4:29-30. Let these verses build your faith for the new.
- Pray Boldly: For the next 7 days, include a specific prayer for new miracles in your personal prayer time.
- Obey Promptings: Be ready to act on any unusual instruction the Holy Spirit gives you, as it may be the key to unlocking the new miracle.
Remember: God is not finished. The greatest miracles are not behind you; they are before you. He wants to do something new in your life today. Ask for it, believe for it, and get ready for it.
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth…” (Isaiah 43:19). Your new season is springing forth.
