OPEN HEAVEN 8 AUGUST 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: OVERFLOW WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT II
MEMORISE
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:38
READ: John 7:37-39
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 8 AUGUST 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Psalm 23:5
David was talking about the overflow of the Holy Spirit in the Scripture above. Overflowing with the Holy Spirit and the anointing is God’s desire for all His children. In today’s Bible reading, Jesus Christ said that those who are thirsty can come to Him and drink. He said that out of their bellies will flow rivers of living water – not one river but rivers – that is a tremendous overflow of the Holy Spirit. Peter overflowed with the Holy Spirit because even his shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:14-16).
Elisha also overflowed with the anointing so much that the flow continued after his death, and his bones raised the dead (2 Kings 13:20-21). There is no limit to how much of the Holy Spirit you can carry because God wants you to be filled to overflowing.
In 2011, a woman shared a testimony in Dublin. She said she had heard that when the barren sit on chairs that l have sat on, they would become pregnant. So, she attended one of our programmes but could not get to sit on the chair I sat on because it had been taken away before she got to it.
She was sad, but suddenly, she had an idea. “He was standing at the pulpit preaching; there must be part of the anointing on the pulpit too.” So, she went to the pulpit and began to rub her stomach against it. She became pregnant that month, and when she delivered, she gave birth to triplets. The Holy Spirit had overflowed through me so much that there was enough power on the pulpit to make the barren fruitful.
Beloved, the Holy Spirit can overflow through you too. You can be so filled with the Holy Spirit that whatever you touch will carry the anointing. However, for that to happen, you must be drunk with His infilling. No matter how filled you are with the Holy Spirit, you must continually long for more. You must make it a habit to spend quality time in His presence to the point where you will stop being conscious of time. I pray that as you spend quality time in God’s presence, He will fill you to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and power.
OPEN HEAVEN 8 AUGUST PRAYER POINT
Father, please fill me until I overflow with Your Spirit. Let rivers of living water flow out of my belly, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 8 AUGUST 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: John 7:38
“He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
This verse reveals God’s standard for every believer—not just a trickle of the Spirit, but rivers of divine power that impact everything around you.
BIBLE READING: John 7:37-39
Jesus’ words unveil three keys to overflow:
- v.37: The invitation (“If anyone thirsts…”)
- v.38: The promise (“rivers of living water”)
- v.39: The source (the Holy Spirit, given after Jesus’ glorification)
The Reality of Spiritual Overflow
Daddy Adeboye’s teaching highlights four manifestations of Holy Spirit overflow:
1. David’s Cup (Psalm 23:5)
- “My cup runs over”: Not just full—excess oil for:
- Enemies’ defeat (the prepared table)
- Continuous anointing (fresh oil daily)
2. Peter’s Shadow (Acts 5:15)
- Ordinary objects became conduits:
- Handkerchiefs (Acts 19:12)
- Chairs (Dublin testimony)
- Even a pulpit transferred fertility anointing
3. Elisha’s Bones (2 Kings 13:21)
- Death couldn’t stop the flow:
- His anointing outlived him
- Proves overflow is transferable to generations
4. The Dublin Triplets
- Divine Contagion: The pulpit absorbed residual anointing
- Key Lesson: Overflow leaves imprintable grace on places/objects
How to Walk in Continuous Overflow
1. Cultivate Spiritual Thirst (John 7:37)
- Holy Spirit drunkards:
- Crave more than food (Job 23:12)
- Pursue God’s presence like oxygen
2. Eliminate All Leaks
- Sin (Isaiah 59:2)
- Unforgiveness (Mark 11:25)
- Distractions (Luke 10:40-42)
3. Create “Anointing Stations”
- Your prayer closet: Let it become soaked with worship
- Your workplace: Pray over your desk/equipment (like the pulpit)
Prayer for Overflow
“Father, make me a spiritual Niagara Falls! Let Your power gush through me so violently that the barren conceive, the sick heal, and the dead rise at my shadow. Baptize me in fresh fire daily until I become a dangerous carrier of Your glory, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps
- Anoint Your Space: Use oil to dedicate your home/workplace as overflow zones (Exodus 30:26-29)
- Practice “Soaking”: Spend 30 minutes daily in wordless worship (Romans 8:26)
- Testify Boldly: Share one miracle testimony weekly to activate more (Revelation 12:11)
Conclusion: Become a Spiritual Riverbed
Daddy Adeboye’s life proves: Overflow isn’t for superstars—it’s for thirsty believers. When you:
- Stay drunk on the Spirit
- Stay hungry for more
- Stay reckless in obedience
…you’ll rewrite destinies through:
- Your shadow
- Your touch
- Even your leftovers
“Don’t just seek the river—BECOME the river!”
