OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: YOUR FATHER OWNS IT ALL
MEMORISE:
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
Haggai 2:8
READ: Psalms 24:1-2:
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Today’s Bible reading tells us that the earth is the Lord’s and its fullness thereof. Today’s memory verse also says that silver and gold belong to Him. Psalm 50:10 tells us that the cattle upon a thousand hills all belong to Him.
With God as your Father, you should not be bothered about any financial problems. I am confident that you will overcome any financial challenge you may be facing right now because your Father will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
It is worthy of note that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, and other patriarchs in the Bible were all very wealthy. They walked with God, and He blessed them greatly. Since those who walk with the wise become wise (Proverbs 13:20), when you walk with the Almighty, All-sufficient God, He will always meet your needs.
Beloved, make up your mind today to walk with God wholeheartedly.
In Luke 15:16-19, the prodigal son had a very wealthy father, yet he considered eating pig food, and no one gave him anything. This is how some Christians today are begging people for things that they can easily get from the Almighty God, their Father.
Note that when the prodigal son departed from his father’s house initially, everything seemed to be going well. However, things soon took a turn for the worse, and he realised that he had made a mistake.
Thankfully, he decided to retrace his steps, and the moment he did so and returned to the loving embrace of his father, he started to live in affluence again.
Beloved, if you have backslidden from God and are already experiencing lack and sorrow, retrace your steps to Him today. Do not admire the things that ungodly people are doing to get wealthy; instead, return to the One who owns all of creation and who gives the power to get true wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Beloved, make up your mind to stick with God fully for the rest of your life so that you can start enjoying the benefits that come with being a child of God.
Only God can give riches with no sorrow added to it, as we see in Proverbs 10:22:
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
I pray that you will walk with God wholeheartedly and not indulge in sin so that you can be truly blessed, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
Your Heavenly Father is the source of true wealth.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 5 DECEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Haggai 2:8
“The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.”
This is a declaration of divine title deed. God is not merely claiming to have wealth; He is declaring that all wealth, in its raw material and its essence, is His personal property. This truth dismantles the power of mammon and establishes God as the ultimate source and distributor of all financial provision.
BIBLE READING: Psalms 24:1-2
This psalm establishes the foundational truth of God’s absolute ownership:
v.1: “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” This states His total claim over all resources (the fullness) and all people.
v.2: “For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.” His ownership is by right of creation. He is the founder and establisher; therefore, His claim is incontestable.
The Inheritance of the Father’s Child
Pastor E.A. Adeboye builds a powerful case for divine provision, not as a promise to claim in isolation, but as the natural inheritance of a child who lives in intimate fellowship with the Father. Financial peace is presented as a fruit of a relationship, not the goal of negotiation.
1. The Foundation: Unshakable Divine Ownership
God Owns Everything:
The devotion anchors our faith in three scriptures of ownership: the earth (Psalms 24:1), precious metals (Haggai 2:8), and livestock (Psalms 50:10). If He owns the portfolio, He cannot lack the means to provide for His children.
The Implication for the Believer:
If your Father is the sole proprietor of the universe, then your situation is not a financial problem but a relational posture. The question shifts from “How will I get money?” to “Am I in right fellowship with the Owner?”
2. The Patriarchal Pattern: Wealth in Walking with God
The Testimony of Covenant Walkers:
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Job are cited not merely as wealthy men, but as men who “walked with God.” Their wealth was a byproduct of covenant intimacy, divine favor, and stewardship under His blessing.
The Principle of Association (Proverbs 13:20):
“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise.” Pastor Adeboye brilliantly applies this: if you walk with the All-Sufficient God, you partake of His sufficiency. Your proximity determines your supply. Walking with Him means aligning your steps with His will, commands, and character.
3. The Prodigal Parable: The Cost of Departure
The Illusion of Independence:
The prodigal son’s story (Luke 15:16-19) illustrates that access to the Father’s wealth is nullified by departure from the Father’s presence. He had a legal right as a son, but his physical and moral distance created experiential poverty.
The Sorrow of Substitute Sources:
Eating pig food symbolizes the demeaning, unclean, and unsatisfying sources the world offers when one leaves God’s house. “No one gave him anything” underscores the world’s ultimate emptiness—it takes but does not give true sustenance.
The Pathway to Restoration:
His turnaround began with a decision to “retrace his steps.” This involved:
- Awareness: “He came to himself.”
- Repentance: “I have sinned.”
- Return: “I will arise and go to my father.”
The result was immediate restoration to a place of honor and affluence.
4. The Superior Blessing: Riches Without Sorrow
The World’s Wealth vs. God’s Blessing:
The world offers wealth often laced with anxiety, corruption, ill-health, and family strife (sorrow). Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that God “giveth thee power to get wealth,” and Proverbs 10:22 guarantees that “the blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
The Condition for Sorrowless Wealth:
This blessed state is for those who “walk with God wholeheartedly and not indulge in sin.” It is the wealth that comes from a clean conscience, divine favor, and peaceful stewardship, not from compromise or frantic striving.
How to Live in Your Divine Financial Inheritance
1. Reaffirm Your Sonship, Not Your Need:
Begin your approach to God in financial matters by thanking Him for being your Father, not by listing your needs. Worship the Owner, not obsess over the resource.
2. Audit Your Fellowship:
Are you “walking with God” or just visiting Him in emergencies? Your financial pressure may be a symptom of relational distance. Prioritize intimacy; provision follows.
3. Reject Worldly Shortcuts:
“Do not admire the things that ungodly people are doing to get wealthy.” Their gain is often a trap. The prodigal “wasted his substance with riotous living”—the world’s methods are ultimately wasteful.
4. Make a Quality Decision:
“Make up your mind to stick with God fully for the rest of your life.” This is the decision that secures the enduring benefits. It is a vow of fidelity that positions you for perpetual care.
Warning: The Poverty of a Distant Son
You can be a legitimate child of a wealthy Father yet live in lack if you are not in fellowship. The inheritance is yours, but the enjoyment of it is contingent upon abiding in the Father’s house (His will, His word, His presence). Independence from God is the fast track to spiritual and material bankruptcy.
Conclusion: Coming Home to Abundance
Pray this:
“Almighty God, my Father and Owner of all, I repent of any distance in my walk with You. I renounce independence and return wholeheartedly to Your loving embrace. As I walk with You, teach me to steward Your property. Let Your blessing make me rich, and guard my life from every sorrow that comes from striving or sin, in Jesus’ name.”
Action Steps:
- Declare Ownership Daily: For 7 days, begin your prayer by declaring Psalm 24:1 and Haggai 2:8. Let it reshape your perception of your needs.
- Conduct a ‘Prodigal Audit’: Identify one area of your finances or sourcing where you have relied on a “far country” method (e.g., debt, worry, unethical compromise). Repent and ask God for His strategy.
- Study Stewardship in Fellowship: Meditate on the link between obedience and provision in Deuteronomy 28:1-13. Write down how specific areas of obedience can open channels of blessing.
Remember: Your bank account does not determine your Father’s wealth; your Father’s wealth determines your provision. Your address is not “Land of Lack”; it is “My Father’s House,” where there is bread enough and to spare.
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). The supply is guaranteed because the Source is inexhaustible and your position in Christ is secure. Walk with Him.
