OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: OVERFLOWING MERCY
MEMORISE
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
Ephesians 2:4-5
READ: Mark 1:40-45
40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 6 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Many of God’s attributes can be seen in the Bible and one of them is that He is merciful.
Today’s memory verse says that He is rich in mercy, and this means that He has more than enough for everyone; hence, He can never run out of it.
The Bible also says in Psalm 62:12:
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy…
The Scripture above tells us that mercy belongs to God. When something belongs to someone who loves you, you can rest assured that he or she will give you that thing anytime you need it. This means that as long as you belong to God, you will always enjoy His mercy.
Today’s Bible reading tells the story of a leper who came to Jesus and said, “If you will, you can make me clean.” In other words, he was saying, “I know you are merciful, but I don’t know if that mercy extends to me. If you will have mercy on me, then I know I will become clean.” Jesus didn’t get angry at him; He reached out to him and touched him.
In those days, it was forbidden to touch a leper, but when mercy shows up for a man, it breaks human protocols. Jesus also corrected the leper’s wrong mindset. He told him, “I will; be clean.” Jesus showed him that mercy is always available to those who come to Him. God never withholds His mercy from those who cry out to Him for it. When Blind Bartimaeus cried for mercy in Mark 10:46-52, Jesus heard his cry and responded. When a father cried for mercy concerning his son who was tormented by a devil, Jesus responded and delivered the child (Matthew 17:14-18).
When the Canaanite woman cried for mercy concerning her daughter, even though it wasn’t yet time for the Gentiles to experience God’s merciful gift of salvation, Jesus responded, and the girl was made whole (Matthew 15:22-28). In the name above every other name, I pray that God’s mercy will locate you and make you whole in all areas of life.
God’s mercy is great. Psalm 57:10 tells us that His mercy is great unto the heavens. However, as great as God’s mercy is, it is only available to those who genuinely repent of their sins, surrender their lives to Jesus, and make a commitment to living a holy life. Only those who fear God will partake of His overflowing mercy (Psalm 103:11).

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 6 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Ephesians 2:4-5
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).”
This passage reveals mercy as God’s nature—not just an act, but His very identity. His mercy is:
- Rich (abundant beyond measure)
- Proactive (He reaches out even when we don’t deserve it)
- Life-giving (transforms spiritual death into divine life)
BIBLE READING: Mark 1:40-45
This passage demonstrates mercy in action:
- v.40: The leper’s desperate cry—”If You will…”
- v.41: Jesus’ radical response—compassionate touch that broke religious taboos
- v.42: Immediate transformation—mercy doesn’t delay
The Depths of Divine Mercy
Daddy Adeboye’s teaching reveals four profound truths about God’s mercy:
1. Mercy Belongs to God (Psalm 62:12)
- Divine Ownership: Mercy isn’t a human virtue—it’s God’s exclusive property
- Implication: When you’re connected to God, you’re connected to an endless supply (Lamentations 3:22-23)
2. Mercy Breaks Protocols (Mark 1:41)
- The Leper’s Miracle: Jesus touched what society rejected
- Modern Application: God’s mercy will:
- Restore forbidden relationships
- Heal incurable diseases
- Open governmentally closed doors
3. Mercy Corrects Wrong Mindsets (Mark 1:41)
- The Leper’s Doubt: “If You will…”
- Jesus’ Response: “I will!”
- Key Lesson: God always wills to show mercy—the question is our asking (Matthew 7:7)
4. Mercy Responds to Desperate Cries
- Biblical Cases:
- Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52)
- Tormented boy (Matthew 17:14-18)
- Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:22-28)
- Common Thread: Audacious faith that wouldn’t stop crying out
How to Access Overflowing Mercy
1. Come with Bold Honesty (Hebrews 4:16)
- Approach God’s throne not with:
- Religious pretense
- Self-justification
- But with:
- Raw confession (“I’m a leper!”)
- Childlike dependence (“If You will…”)
2. Embrace Repentance (Psalm 103:11)
- Mercy flows where fear of the Lord exists
- Practical Repentance:
- Daily heart checks (Psalm 139:23-24)
- Immediate confession (1 John 1:9)
3. Develop a Mercy Consciousness
- Remember:
- Your past breakthroughs (Lamentations 3:21)
- Others’ testimonies (Revelation 12:11)
- God’s track record (Psalm 136)
Prayer for Mercy Overflow
“Father of mercies, locate me today! Break every human protocol limiting my breakthrough. Where I’ve said ‘If You will…’, declare ‘I WILL!’ over my life. Let Your mercy speak for me in every impossible situation, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Create a Mercy Journal: Record every mercy testimony (personal/biblical)
- Practice Daily Repentance: Spend 5 minutes each morning in Psalm 51
- Be a Mercy Channel: Forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it (Matthew 5:7)
Conclusion: The Mercy Revolution
Daddy Adeboye’s message reveals: Mercy isn’t just getting what you don’t deserve—it’s God rewriting your story. When mercy speaks:
- Lepers become clean
- Blind eyes open
- Hopeless cases become testimonies
“The same mercy that reached a leper 2,000 years ago is still searching for ‘hopeless cases’ today—will you be His next exhibit?”
