OPEN HEAVENS 2 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD

MEMORISE:

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Psalm 98:4

READ: Psalm 67:5-7

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase;
and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 2 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY’S MESSAGE

God delights in His people praising Him. In fact, He loves the praises of His children so much that He inhabits it (Psalm 22:3).
In Psalm 50:23, He said that anyone who praises Him is glorifying Him, and He promised to show His salvation to those who order their conversations right.
This further reveals how much God wants His children to praise Him.

When God’s children praise Him, He fights their battles for them. This is what happened in 2 Chronicles 20:1-25, when three great kings conspired against King Jehoshaphat. The people of Judah praised God, and He defended them.
God made the three kings and their armies fight and kill each other without the children of Judah lifting a sword.
To top it all, Jehoshaphat and his people spent three days gathering the spoils of a war they never fought in.

Another good example of God fighting on behalf of His children who praise Him is found in Acts 16:25-26:
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
I pray that God will fight for you, too, as you praise Him today, in Jesus’ name.

I remember the story of a Christian brother who shared the secret of his bumper harvests every year. According to him, after planting, he goes around his farm and sings praises to God. When it is time for him to harvest his crops, God blesses him even beyond his expectations.
Beloved, I urge you to cultivate this practice. When you buy new products to sell, walk around the products or place them in front of you and begin to praise God. In your office, especially at your own desk, take time to praise God regularly. Do this often, and God will cause your business or career to experience supernatural increase.

God is, however, not interested in the praise and worship of sinners (John 9:31).
It doesn’t matter how well a person can sing and dance; acceptable praise can only flow from a heart that is sanctified (Psalm 24:3-4).
If you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus, please do so right away, and you can rest assured that when you praise Him, He will bless you and fight your battles for you.

KEY POINT

Praise from a sanctified heart draws divine protection and blessings.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

John 3-4

HYMN: Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 2 NOVEMBER 2026 COMMENTARY

There is something about praise that moves the heart of God in a way few things do. Today’s devotional, “Praise the Lord,” reminds us that praise is not just a religious exercise; it is a weapon, a key, and a doorway into God’s supernatural intervention.

But there is also a warning: praise is only acceptable when it comes from a sanctified heart. Let’s look at what the Word says about this powerful topic.

God Loves the Praises of His Children

The very first truth we must settle is that God actually enjoys hearing from His children in praise. Psalm 22:3 tells us that God “inhabitest the praises of Israel” — meaning He dwells in the midst of His people’s worship.

David understood this — he praised God seven times a day (Psalm 119:164), and God called him a man after His own heart. And where God dwells, His presence changes everything. The more you praise Him, the more you become aware of His nearness, and the more His peace guards your heart.
Don’t treat praise as something reserved for church on Sunday; make it your daily routine.

When You Praise Him, He Blesses and Fights for You

This is where praise becomes practical. In 2 Chronicles 20:1-25, three great kings conspired against King Jehoshaphat, but the people of Judah praised God. God made the enemy armies fight and kill each other without Judah lifting a sword. And they gathered spoils for 3 days.

Also Daddy shares the story of a Christian brother who would walk around his farm after planting, singing praises to God, and year after year he reaped bumper harvests beyond his expectations.
Psalm 67:6 says, “Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” Notice the word “then” — it follows praise. Your praise today is preparing your increase tomorrow.

God Hates the Praises of Sinners

John 9:31 says, “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.” It does not matter how well a person can sing, how beautifully they dance, or how loud their voice is — acceptable praise can only flow from a heart that is sanctified.

This is a call to examine ourselves. Are you praising God with lips while your heart is far from Him? Have you surrendered your life to Jesus, or are you still living in sin while going through the motions of worship? God sees the heart, not the performance. If you haven’t given your life to Christ, do it today.

Praise Is Your Secret Weapon

Praise is not just something we do because it is expected — it is a powerful spiritual tool that opens doors, wins battles, and releases blessings. God loves the praises of His children, He fights for those who praise Him, and He blesses their endeavors supernaturally. But He also requires that our praise come from a pure and surrendered heart.

As you go through this week, remember that you carry a weapon that does not require strength, money, or connections — just a willing heart. When the battle rages, sing. When the harvest is uncertain, praise. When you feel overwhelmed, lift your voice. The God is waiting to meet you there, and He will not come empty-handed.

Action Steps

1. Build a daily habit of praise. Choose specific moments each day — waking up, commuting, or sitting at your desk — to pause and praise God. Let it become as natural as breathing.
2. Praise God over your work and endeavors. Whether you are planting, selling, studying, or working, take time to praise God over it, trusting Him to bring the increase.
3. Examine the purity of your heart. Before you praise, ask God to cleanse you of any sin. Also, ensure you worship Him sincerely; focus on Him.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You for the privilege of praising You. Thank You for loving to hear my voice lifted to You.
2. Lord, teach me to praise You daily. Let praise become my habit and my heart’s default response.
3. Father, as I praise You, please fight my battles for me. Let every conspiracy against me scatter in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, as I praise, let my business, career, and endeavors experience supernatural blessing beyond my expectations, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, open every prison door and break every chain in my life as I sing praises to You. Let every limitation be shattered by the power of Your presence, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, please purify my heart. Remove every hypocrisy and sin from me, and let my praise flow from a clean and sanctified heart that glorifies You, in Jesus’ name.
7. Praise God for 30 minutes to 1 Hour.

TOPIC: HE IS IN CHARGE II

MEMORISE:

He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
Psalm 78:45

READ: Revelation 12:1-17

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 1 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY’S MESSAGE

Yesterday, I shared how God is in charge of nature and everything in the world. When a fellow is on God’s side, nature cooperates to favour him or her. However, when a person puts himself or herself against God, nature works against such a person.

Beloved, if you are against God, the elements of nature can decide to work against you. There is no better time than now to turn your life over to the One who is in charge of everything.

Jeremiah 22:28-30 tells us about a man named Coniah (also known as Jehoiachin). He was a king who lived contrary to God’s will (2 Kings 24:8-9), and God told the earth to write him childless. Nothing he did would have made him fruitful because the earth had been commanded by the One in charge of it to ensure that he remained unfruitful.

Another person the forces of nature worked against was Sisera, as recorded in Judges 5:20-21. Sisera made himself a terror to God’s people (Judges 4:1-3), and when God wanted to judge him, the stars in their courses fought against him, and so did the river of Kishon.

Similarly, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let God’s people go, God used different forces of nature to fight him. Animals rose against him (Psalm 78:43-46), hail fought against him (Exodus 9:18-26), and even the sun ceased shining for three days because of his disobedience (Exodus 10:21-23). It is better to pitch your tent with the One who is in charge because everything obeys Him; everything fulfils His decrees.

Today’s Bible reading tells us about a dragon and a woman. When it seemed as if all hope had been lost and the dragon would destroy the woman, the Bible says that the earth came to her aid. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood that the dragon cast out of its mouth. The earth helps those who follow the Lord and do His will; it favours those who favour the Lord’s righteous cause. When Adam sinned, the ground was cursed for his sake (Genesis 3:17-19). However, everyone in Christ is exempt from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).

Beloved, I pray that as you praise God and acknowledge Him as the only One in charge of everything in the world, the earth will yield its increase for you (Psalm 67:6), in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, please cause the earth to work in my favour.
Let it yield its increase to me, in Jesus’ name.

John 1-2

HYMN 8: I Need Thee Every Hour

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 1 NOVEMBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “He Is In Charge II,” builds on yesterday’s truth and takes it further: when you belong to God, all things, even nature itself becomes your ally.

But if you set yourself against Him, those same forces can turn against you. This is not a scary message; it’s an invitation to align your life with the One in charge of everything.

God Is in Charge

As a Christian, you must know who is in charge. Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” That single verse settles it whether the world acknowledge it or not. Do not live as though things and people have the final say.

When you truly believe God is in charge, your anxiety begins to melt. You stop panicking about the news, the market, or the doctor’s report, because you know the One who holds it all. So before anything else today, settle this in your heart: God is in charge. Everything else in this devotional flows from that truth.

When You Are on God’s Side, Nature Favours You

Daddy shows us that when you are on God’s side, nature itself cooperates with you. In Revelation 12:16, the earth rescued the woman from the dragon. This is relatable. The job offer that comes out of nowhere, the sudden helper who appears, the timely intervention that saves you from a crisis — that’s God.

Everyone in Christ is exempt from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). Think of a farmer who faithfully honors God with his land and labor — season after season his crops flourish while a neighbor’s fields struggle. The difference isn’t always talent; it’s alignment. If you are on God’s side, creation is on your side. Keep doing His will, and watch the earth come to your aid.

Those Against God Suffer

The flip side is sobering. Those who set themselves against God find that nature itself works against them. Examples are King Jehoiachin, Sisera, Pharaoh etc. This is not God being petty — it is the consequence of fighting against the One in charge.

This explains why some people seem to struggle against everything: the door that won’t open, the deal that keeps falling through, the progress that never comes. When a person stands against God, even the elements of nature resist him. If you have been fighting God — in your choices, your habits, or your heart — stop today and align with Him.

Creation Is Waiting to Favor You

Nature cooperates with the obedient, the stars fight for the beloved, and the earth itself rises to help the faithful. This speaks directly to your everyday life: the same God who parted the Red Sea and commanded the stars in their courses is the God you serve today.

When you go about your daily activities, remember He is with you. When you face opposition, remember the One in charge has already assigned the elements to your favor. Let this truth settle in your heart and change how you face your challenges. You are on the winning side, and everything obeys Him.

Action Steps

1. Settle who is in charge. Take time today to read and meditate on Psalm 24. Let this truth calm your heart about whatever situation you are facing.
2. Examine your alignment. Ask God to show you any area where you’ve been living contrary to His will. Repent and realign yourself with the One in charge, so creation can cooperate with you rather than resist you.
3. Praise God as the One in charge. Praise God and acknowledge Him always as the only One in charge, the earth will yield its increase for you (Psalm 67:6).

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You for being the One in charge of heaven and earth. Thank You for calling me your child
2. Lord, please cause the earth to work in my favour. Let it yield its increase to me in every area of my life, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, in any area where I have lived contrary to Your will, please forgive me. Realign my life with Your purposes in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, let every force of nature that the enemy has assigned against me be turned against, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, let the earth open its mouth and swallow every flood the enemy has released against my family, my finances, and my health, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, I declare that I am exempt from every curse, because you have redeemed me from the curse of the law.
7. Father, as I praise You and acknowledge You, let the earth yield its increase for me and let every good thing You have prepared for me come to pass, in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: HE IS IN CHARGE I

MEMORISE:

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
Job 37:6

READ: Mark 4:36-41

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 31 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

Some years ago, I was invited to a very important meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA. The meeting was scheduled to take place in January, and Denver is typically very cold during the first month of the year due to its winter season. As I prayed concerning the meeting, I asked God, “Daddy, should I go?” He replied, “Go.” Then, I asked, “What are we going to do about the winter?” He replied, “Don’t worry about that.”

I spent three days in Denver, and during that time, people were wearing t-shirts because summer arrived suddenly. After I left Denver at 5pm on the third day, 12.5 centimetres of snow covered the city by 6pm. God suspended the winter so that His work could be done, and after it was completed, He released the snow to continue its course.

God is in charge of nature; He rules the world and everything in it. Today’s memory verse says that He talks to the snow. He tells the snow and the rain when to fall on the earth. God can decide to withhold the rain or snow from the earth or release it. He can suspend the laws of nature to fulfil His agenda and release them when His work is done. Psalm 148:8 says that fire, hail, snow, vapour, and even stormy winds fulfil His word. There is no wind that is too fierce that God cannot silence. There is no fire that is too wild that He cannot quench.

In today’s Bible reading, Jesus was in a ship with His disciples when a great storm arose. The wind was so fierce that the experienced fishermen among Jesus’ disciples knew that they were in grave danger. They probably did all they could professionally, but nothing worked. As a last resort, they ran to Jesus. When they woke Him, He showed them that He was in charge, as He arose and rebuked the wind.

Beloved, unlike Jesus’ disciples in today’s Bible reading, never make God your last resort when it comes to situations in your life; rather, you must always put Him first. When you give God complete control over the affairs of your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance that comes to challenge you. I decree that every contrary wind or situation that comes against you will submit to the supremacy of the Almighty God and cooperate with you, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, I acknowledge that You are in charge of all things. Please
take full control of every situation in my life, in Jesus’ name.

Luke 23-24

HYMN: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “He Is in Charge I,” opens our eyes to a truth we often confess but rarely live: God rules over nature, circumstances, and every force that opposes His purposes. He is not a distant observer — He is the active Governor of the universe.

Daddy shares a striking testimony from a trip to Colorado. God changed the winter to summer during his stay. God suspended winter for His servant’s assignment, then released it once the work was done.

God is in charge. He speaks to the snow. He silences the storm. And He enforces His supremacy over any contrary wind in your life.

1. God Rules Over Nature

Job 37:6 says God speaks to the snow and the rain, telling them when to fall. Psalm 148:8 says fire, hail, snow, vapour, and stormy winds all fulfil His word.

Nature is not autonomous. The laws of physics are not independent of God — they are servants of His will. He can suspend them, accelerate them, or redirect them to accomplish His purpose. The Denver testimony is not a rare anomaly; it is a demonstration of a consistent principle: creation obeys its Creator. If God can command the snow, He can command your situation. There is no wind too fierce that He cannot silence. No fire too wild that He cannot quench.

2. Jesus Demonstrated Authority Over Storms

In Mark 4:36-41, Jesus was in a ship with His disciples when a great storm arose. The waves beat into the ship. The experienced fishermen among them knew they were in danger. They did everything they could professionally, but nothing worked. As a last resort, they ran to Jesus. He arose, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still.” And there was a great calm.

Notice two things. First, Jesus was asleep during the storm — not because He didn’t care, but because He was not afraid. His peace was not dependent on the weather. Second, He spoke to the storm as though it were a disobedient servant. He didn’t pray about the wind; He commanded it. This reveals that the storm was not a random act of nature — it was a force that needed to be brought under authority. And Jesus had that authority. He still does.

3. Never Make God Your Last Resort

Always put Him first. When you give God complete control over your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance.

The disciples did what many of us do — they tried everything else before turning to Jesus. They relied on their skills, their experience, their strength. Only when all else failed did they wake Him. God is not a backup plan. He is the plan.

How often do you pray only after you’ve exhausted your options? How often do you seek God only when the situation becomes desperate? Faith puts God first — not as a last resort, but as the first response. When you give Him control from the beginning, you avoid the panic in the middle.

4. God Enforces His Supremacy Over Contrary Winds

Daddy decrees: every contrary wind or situation that comes against you will submit to the supremacy of the Almighty God and cooperate with you.

The wind and the sea obeyed Jesus because they recognized His authority. In the same way, the forces that come against your life — spiritual, physical, emotional, financial — must bow to the name of Jesus. They may rage, but they cannot win. They may threaten, but they cannot destroy. God is in charge, and He enforces His will over every opposing force.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

You may be in a storm right now. The waves are beating against your ship. You have tried everything — your skills, your connections, your plans — and nothing has worked. You are tempted to panic.

But hear this: the One who is in charge is in your boat. He may seem asleep, but He is not absent. He is not worried. He is not caught off guard. He is in charge. And when you call on Him — not as a last resort, but as your first response — He will speak peace to your storm.

Give God complete control over the affairs of your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance. So give Him control. Put Him first. And watch the storm bow.

Action Steps

1. Put God First, Not Last — Before you make the call, before you try the strategy, before you panic — pray. Make God your first response, not your last resort.

2. Give Him Complete Control — Surrender the situation to Him. Acknowledge that He is in charge and you are not. Let His peace replace your fear.

3. Speak to Your Storm — Like Jesus, you can speak to the contrary winds in your life. Declare peace over your health, your finances, your family, and your future.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You are in charge. Thank You for ruling over nature, over circumstances, and over every force that opposes Your will, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for making You my last resort. Forgive me for trying everything else before turning to You. I put You first from today, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I surrender complete control of my life to You. Take charge. Rule over my affairs. Let Your will be done in every area, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, You are the One who commands the snow and the rain. Speak to the storms in my life today. Let every contrary wind be silenced, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I declare that every contrary wind, every storm, every situation that rises against me shall submit to Your supremacy and cooperate with me, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, give me peace in the midst of the storm. Let me not be afraid. Let me trust You even when the waves are high, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, I decree that my storm will not destroy me. You are in my boat, and You are in charge. I will reach my destination in peace, in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: HAVE FAITH IN GOD

MEMORISE:

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38

READ: Mark 11:20-24

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 29 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

Having faith in God means trusting in Him, even in seemingly hopeless situations. When believers truly understand who God is, they will diligently seek Him and put all their faith in Him. In turn, God will never let them down. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Faith in God comes from truly knowing Him. Daniel 11:32 says that those who know their God will be strong and do exploits. Beloved, how well do you know God? Do you trust Him enough to do exactly what He tells you to do, whether it makes sense or not? In 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah told the people, “If the Lord is God, serve Him. If Baal is God, serve him.” If you are trusting God for a miracle, then you must believe that He is the Almighty God who can do even more than what you have asked of Him (Ephesians 3:20).

The Bible says that the just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17). James 1:6-7 also says that you should not even expect to receive anything from God if you go to Him with doubts.

When I became General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the church kept growing to the point that our headquarters in Ebute Metta became too small for us. I got some of the church elders together, and we fasted and prayed for days. At the end of the prayers, God spoke: “Now that you’ve cried to Me for a campground, I will show you where it is.” Then, He showed us a jungle, which was the headquarters of highway robbers and all manner of dangerous animals. I thought to myself, “How can God choose this place of all places?” However, I went ahead with what He said because I have faith in Him. Today, that jungle has become a city.

When God says that all is well, you can be sure that all will be well. In Matthew 9:27-30, Jesus asked two blind men who were looking up at Him for a miracle if they believed He could heal them, and they replied, “Yes.” Jesus responded, “Be it unto you according to your faith,” and they were healed.

Beloved, put your faith in God, and He will give you miracles that are far beyond your expectations.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to trust You completely, even
when situations seem impossible, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “Have Faith in God,” calls us to trust God even in seemingly hopeless situations. It shows us that faith is not a blind leap into the dark — it is a confident response to knowing who God is. The disciples were amazed when the fig tree Jesus cursed withered from its roots. Jesus did not tell them to admire the miracle; He told them to have faith in God. The lesson was not about the tree — it was about the God who speaks and it comes to pass.

Do you know God well enough to trust Him completely? Do you trust Him enough to do exactly what He says, whether it makes sense or not? If you want stronger faith, you don’t need more effort — you need more of Him.

1. Faith Comes from Knowing God

Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. But faith is not produced by trying harder — it is produced by knowing Him more. Daniel 11:32 says those who know their God will be strong and do exploits.

The more you know God, the more you trust Him. Trust is not built in a moment of crisis; it is built in a daily relationship.

Many believers struggle with faith because they know about God but they don’t know God. They have heard sermons, read books, and attended services — but they have not cultivated intimacy. Faith is the natural fruit of relationship. If you want more faith, you don’t need more effort — you need more of Him.

2. Faith Does Not Entertain Doubt

James 1:6-7 says you should not expect to receive anything from God if you go to Him with doubts. The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17).

Doubt is not the same as questions. Questions seek understanding; doubt refuses to trust. You can ask God questions while still believing Him. But you cannot pray and simultaneously be convinced God won’t answer. That is double-mindedness — and double-minded prayers receive nothing.

Examine your prayers. Are you praying with confidence or with hesitation? Are you asking God while secretly expecting failure? Faith-filled prayer is not louder — it is settled.

3. Faith Obeys Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense

When God showed Daddy the current RCCG campground then, it was a jungle — the headquarters of highway robbers and dangerous animals.
He thought, “How can God choose this place?” But he went ahead because he had faith in Him. Today, that jungle has become a city.

Faith obeys God’s instructions even when they don’t make sense to human reasoning. The story of Abraham and Naaman show the miracle was on the other side of obedience.

What has God told you to do that doesn’t make sense? Start the business? Forgive the person? Give the offering? Take the step? Your reasoning may protest — but your obedience will produce the miracle.

4. Faith Receives Beyond What You Ask

Ephesians 3:20 says God can do even more than what you have asked of Him. In Matthew 9:27-30, Jesus asked two blind men if they believed He could heal them. They said yes. He replied, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” And they were healed.

Faith does not limit God to what you can imagine. It positions you to receive more than you expected.
Pray boldly. Don’t limit God to the size of your request. Ask according to His ability, not your circumstances.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

You may be facing a situation that looks hopeless — a sickness, a financial crisis, a broken relationship, a delayed promise. Faith does not deny the reality of the situation. It denies the finality of it.

Daddy’s decision to build on a robber-infested jungle did not make sense. But God said it, and he believed it. Today that jungle is a city. Your situation may look like a jungle right now — dangerous, chaotic, impossible. But if God has spoken, it can become a city.

Put your faith in God. Not in your circumstances, not in your feelings, not in your resources — but in the God who cannot lie.

Action Steps

1. Invest in Knowing God — Faith grows from relationship. Spend more time in His Word and in His presence. The more you know Him, the more you trust Him.

2. Pray Without Doubting — Examine your prayers. When you ask, believe that you have received. Don’t limit God with your doubt.

3. Obey the Instruction That Doesn’t Make Sense — Whatever God has told you to do — even if it seems illogical — do it. Your obedience is the doorway to your miracle.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You are faithful and true. Thank You for being a God who never fails, never lies, and never breaks His promises, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have doubted You. Forgive me for limiting You with my unbelief and praying without confidence, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, draw me close to You. Let my trust in You grow as I spend time in Your presence, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, I choose to pray without doubting. I believe that whatever I ask in faith, I have received. Let my prayers be answered, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I will obey You even when it doesn’t make sense. Give me the courage to step out on Your word, not on my logic, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, I receive beyond my request. You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. Let Your power be manifested in my life, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, I declare that I walk by faith and not by sight. I am fully persuaded that what You have promised, You are able to perform, in Jesus’ name.

MEMORISE:

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:14

READ: Acts 8:26-40

And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 28 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

I mentioned yesterday that one of the ways God sends help to His children from heaven is through angelic interventions. I recall experiencing one when I was about six or seven years old. An elder sister of mine got married and moved away to her husband’s farm, which was a long way from our home. One day, I asked her, “Where is your farm?”, and she gave me directions to the place: “When you arrive at so and so location, turn right; when you reach so and so spot, turn left.”

A little while thereafter, I decided to visit her on her husband’s farm. Being a little child, I did not know how far it was, so I set out on the journey. I tried to follow the directions she gave me, but I eventually got lost. I did not know how to get back home, nor did I know how to get to the farm I was going to.

Childishly, I looked up to heaven and said, “God, please help me.” By the time I looked down, I saw a little white dog wagging its tail and looking at me as if I were its friend. Since I was clueless about where I was, I followed the dog, hoping it would lead me to where people could help me.

Surprisingly, the dog led me to my sister’s farm. When I got there, and my sister saw me, she was alarmed and asked, “How did you get here? Who brought you here?” I said, “That little white dog.” She replied that she didn’t have a dog on her farm. Immediately, we stepped outside the farm and began to look everywhere. Amazingly, the dog I had just followed to the farm was nowhere to be found. I firmly believe that God sent an angel to help me so that I could one day preach the gospel to the world.

Today’s memory verse describes angels as ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who are to be heirs of salvation. In today’s Bible reading, God sent an angel to give Philip specific directions about the next phase of his ministry. After winning the city of Samaria for Jesus, it was time for him to move on to the next phase of his mission, and the angel told him exactly where to go.

Beloved, God still sends His angels to guide His people. I pray that you will not miss such angelic ministrations, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please let me enjoy angelic ministrations
all the days of my life, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: Jesus Loves Me

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 28 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “Help from Heaven II,” continues the teaching on angelic intervention — but this time, the focus is on angelic guidance. Yesterday, we saw how angels protect and rescue. Today, we see how angels direct and guide God’s people to their next assignment.

Daddy shares a remarkable childhood testimony of how God sent an angel — disguised as a little white dog — to lead him to his sister’s farm when he was lost. That angelic guidance kept him safe so that he could one day preach the gospel to the world.

God still sends His angels to guide His people.

1. A Childhood Testimony of Angelic Guidance

When Daddy was about six or seven, he set out alone to visit his sister’s farm but got lost. He prayed, and miraculously a little dog led him there. Daddy believes God sent an angel to help him so he could one day preach the gospel to the world.

You have experienced angelic guidance without knowing it. He can be in the form of a human being, an animal, nature, etc.
A stranger who appeared at the right moment, a door that opened unexpectedly, a direction that felt like a nudge. God’s help is often unrecognised until you look back. Learn to see His hand in your life.

2. Angels Are Ministering Spirits Sent to Help You

Hebrews 1:14 describes angels as ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who are heirs of salvation. If you are a child of God, you are an heir — and angels are assigned to serve you.

You are not alone in your journey. God has assigned heavenly helpers to assist you. They may not always appear as angels — sometimes they come as a stranger, a friend, or a path that suddenly becomes clear. But make no mistake: heaven is involved in your life.

3. Angels Guide Us to Our Next Assignment

In Acts 8:26-40, God sent an angel to Philip with specific directions. Philip obeyed, and he met the Ethiopian eunuch — a man of great authority who was reading Isaiah but didn’t understand it. Philip explained the Scriptures, preached Jesus, and the eunuch was saved and baptized.

God doesn’t just want to protect you — He wants to position you. He wants to guide you to the people, places, and opportunities He has prepared for you. Be sensitive to His leading. The angel may be directing you to your next assignment right now.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

You may be at a crossroads right now. You may not know which way to go — which job to take, which person to marry, which city to move to, which decision to make. You may feel lost, like a little child far from home.

Today’s message reminds you: God sends help from heaven. He sends angels to guide you. He sends His Spirit to direct you. He sends His Word to instruct you. You are not alone. You are not abandoned. You are not without direction.

You will not miss such angelic ministrations. Stay sensitive. Stay prayerful. Stay obedient. And watch heaven guide your steps.

Action Steps

1. Ask God for Guidance — When you don’t know what to do, look up to heaven and say, “God, please help me.” He hears. He answers. He guides.

2. Stay Sensitive to Divine Direction — God may guide you through His Word, through prayer, through wise counsel, or even through unexpected means. Keep your heart open to however He chooses to lead you.

3. Obey Promptly — When God says go, go. Philip arose and went. His obedience led to a soul being saved. Your obedience may lead to your next assignment.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You send help from heaven. Thank You for the ministering spirits assigned to guide me and keep me in Your will, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have ignored Your guidance or waited passively when You told me to move. Forgive me for being idle when You wanted me active, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I position myself for angelic guidance. I choose to be obedient, faithful, and active in Your service. Send me Your direction, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, guide me to my next assignment. Lead me to the people, places, and opportunities You have prepared for me. Let no divine appointment be missed, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, open my eyes to see the help You send. Let me recognise Your hand even when it comes in unexpected forms, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, use me as You used Philip — to help someone understand what they cannot see, to bring them closer to You, in Jesus’ name.
7. I decree that I achieve God’s purpose for my life. I receive angelic help to fulfil His calling, in Jesus’ name.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 27 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

A person who fears God will always enjoy assistance from heaven. When I talk about enjoying assistance from heaven, it includes receiving help from beings who live in heaven, specifically the angels.

Today’s memory verse tells us that the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. You can be certain of angelic interventions and rescues when you fear the Lord. Today’s Bible reading refers to someone who fears the Lord as a blessed person. When you fear the Lord and delight greatly in His commandments, you will be blessed, and you can expect angels to intervene in your affairs.

In 1 Kings 19:4-8, when Elijah was so discouraged that he felt like dying, God sent an angel to him twice to strengthen him with food. Before this incident, he had confronted the prophets of Baal, burnt their altars, and killed them. He had purged the land of idolatry because he feared the Lord (1 Kings 18:1-40). In Daniel 6:19-22, an angel came and shut the mouths of lions so that they would not harm Daniel because he chose to obey God’s commandments (Daniel 6:4-10).

In 2 Kings 19:32-37, a single angel from the Lord fought against Sennacherib and destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. This was because King Hezekiah was a blessed man who feared the Lord (2 Kings 19:14-19). In Matthew 2:13-15, an angel warned Joseph in a dream that Herod was seeking to kill Jesus. In Acts 12:5-11, an angel came to set Peter free from prison the night before he was to be killed. Every one of these people experienced angelic interventions because they feared God.

A lady once shared her experience during a flight when the aircraft encountered turbulence, and it appeared as if it was going to crash. As she cried out to God for help, she looked out of the window and saw an angel smiling at her as he carried the plane in the palm of his hand. Immediately, she stopped being anxious and became assured that there was nothing to worry about. I prophesy to you that God will send His angel to rescue you in turbulent times, in Jesus’ name.

Beloved, when you fear the Lord and obey His commandments at all times, you can rest assured that the hosts of angels in heaven will come to your aid in times of need.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to fear You and obey Your commandments
so that I will enjoy help from heaven, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: What a Friend We Have in Jesus

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “Help from Heaven I,” opens our eyes to a wonderful truth: when you fear the Lord, you enjoy assistance from heaven — including help from angels.

A person who fears God will always enjoy divine assistance. Psalm 34:7 promises that the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. Psalm 112 describes such a person as blessed — their seed is mighty, wealth and riches are in their house, light arises in darkness, and they are not afraid of evil tidings.

When you fear the Lord and delight in His commandments, you can expect angels to intervene in your affairs.

1. Angelic Help Is Promised to Those Who Fear God

You can be certain of angelic interventions and rescues when you fear the Lord. Today’s Bible reading calls the person who fears the Lord blessed. When you fear Him and delight in His commandments, you will be blessed — and angels will intervene in your affairs.

Angels sent by God to minister to those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14).

Meditate on this promise so that you will not give in to fear, but believe like Elisha, in the day of evil (2 Kings 6:16)

2. Biblical Examples of Angelic Intervention

Daddy gives us powerful examples:

• Elijah (1 Kings 19:4-8) — When he was so discouraged he wanted to die, God sent an angel twice to strengthen him with food.
• Daniel (Daniel 6:19-22) — An angel shut the mouths of lions because Daniel obeyed God’s commandments.
• King Hezekiah (2 Kings 19:32-37) — A single angel destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night because Hezekiah feared the Lord.
• Joseph (Matthew 2:13-15) — An angel warned him in a dream that Herod was seeking to kill Jesus.
• Peter (Acts 12:5-11) — An angel set him free from prison the night before he was to be killed.

Every one of these people experienced angelic intervention because they feared God.

3. A Modern Testimony of Angelic Protection

Daddy shares a testimony of a lady on a flight that was going to crash. As she cried out to God for help, she looked out the window and saw an angel carrying the plane. Immediately, she stopped being anxious and became assured that there was nothing to worry about.

When you pray within a crisis, believe God is moving in your favour.

You may not always see the angel, but the angel sees you. You may not know how God is protecting you, but He is. The same angel that carried that plane is assigned to carry you.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

You may be facing a tough situation right now — in your health, your finances, your family, or your future. It may feel like you will not survive it. But today’s message reminds you: when you fear the Lord, heaven is on your side.

You may not see the angel. You may not feel the protection. But God has given His angels charge over you. They encamp around you. They deliver you. They carry you in their hands.

So fear the Lord. Obey His commandments. Delight in His Word. And rest assured: the hosts of heaven are working on your behalf.

Action Steps

1. Fear the Lord and Obey His Commandments — Angelic help is promised to those who fear God. Make it your priority to honor Him in every area of your life.

2. Pray for Angelic Intervention — When you face battles you cannot fight, ask God to send His angels on your behalf. He has promised to do it.

3. Trust God in Turbulent Times — When things seem out of control, pray and know that God is in control. He will deliver you.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You for the promise of angelic help. Thank You for the angels You have assigned to encamp around me and deliver me, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have forgotten that I am not alone. Forgive me for living in fear when heaven is on my side, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I choose to fear You and delight in Your commandments. Let my life be pleasing to You, so that I may enjoy the fullness of Your protection, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, send Your angels to fight my battles. Every enemy, every attack, every plan of darkness — let Your angels scatter them, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am shielded by angelic hosts because I fear the Lord, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, in tough times, let me see Your hand. Open my eyes to see the chariots of fire around me. Let me not be afraid, in Jesus’ name.
7. I declare that I am not moved by hopeless situations surrounding me. My heart is fixed on God. Lord, rescue and honour me, in Jesus’ name.

MEMORISE:

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29

READ: Matthew 15:22-28

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 26 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

There are different kinds of prayers, but often, the way people pray reveals the depth of their longing and how urgently they desire God’s intervention.

Imagine a case where two critically injured people are in a hospital, and one says, “Oh, doctor, come and help me treat this wound,” and then brings out his or her phone to watch cartoons. Then, the other fellow screams out, “Doctor, I am in serious pain. Help me now!” Who do you think the doctor will attend to first? Definitely, the doctor will first attend to the one who screamed out loud for help.

Many people come to God’s presence casually, speaking ‘Queen’s English’, with ‘steeze’ and composure, as the youths would say. However, some other people pray to God with their whole heart and strength, and, like Jacob in Genesis 32:26, they say, “Lord, I will not let You go unless You bless me!”

Sometimes, my friends abroad ask me why we experience so many miracles in Africa, while there are very few in the so-called civilised world. I tell them that it is simply because they believe that they have alternatives. When a person has no one else to talk to apart from God, he or she will know how to pray fervently. Also, if a fellow has an illness that has defied all forms of treatment, such a fellow will understand what it means to pray fervently.

James 5:16 says that the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous avail much. In today’s Bible reading, when the Canaanite woman asked Jesus to deliver her demon-possessed daughter, she cried unto Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David.” That woman was not casual about her prayers; she kept crying out to Jesus until she received a response.

Likewise, in Mark 10:46-52, blind Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus with a loud voice, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” All attempts by people to shut him up proved unsuccessful, as he continued to call out to Jesus for help. Eventually, Jesus heard him, and he got his miracle.

Beloved, if anything is troubling you, cry unto God today with all your heart and soul, and He will hear you. Call upon Him with all your strength and humility, and He will grant your requests. He will, however, not listen to the prayers of a sinner who has refused to repent and forsake his or her sins (Isaiah 59:1-2).

PRAYER POINT

Father, please hear my cry and intervene in my situation as I pray fervently to You, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Luke 11-12

HYMN: Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 26 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “Fervent Prayers,” teaches us that the way we pray reveals how deeply we long for God’s intervention. Casual prayers produce casual results. But when you pray with your whole heart, heaven responds.

Using an illustration of two critically injured patients in a hospital. One casually asks the doctor for help while scrolling on his phone. The other screams in pain. Who gets attended to first? The one who cried out with urgency.

God is not moved by polished words. He is moved by desperate, fervent, faith-filled prayers.

1. The Difference Between Casual and Fervent Prayers

Daddy notes that many people come to God’s presence casually — speaking “Queen’s English” with composure. But others pray with their whole heart and strength, like Jacob, who said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” (Genesis 32:26).

The doctor attends to the one who screams for help. In the same way, God responds to those who cry out to Him with urgency and faith.

God is not looking for eloquence — He is looking for sincerity. Pray like you mean it. Pray like you need Him.

2. Why Africa Sees More Miracles

Daddy shares a conversation with friends abroad who asked why there are so many miracles in Africa but few in the so-called civilised world. He told them: it is because they believe they have alternatives. When a person has no one else to turn to but God, they learn to pray fervently.

If a person has an illness that has defied all treatment, they understand what it means to pray fervently.
When you have no backup plan, no alternative, no safety net — you pray like your life depends on it. And that is when heaven opens.

3. Biblical Examples of Fervent Prayers

James 5:16 says the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much.

In Matthew 15:22-28, the Canaanite woman cried out to Jesus, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David.” She was not casual. She kept crying until she received a response. Jesus said, “O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.” And her daughter was healed that very hour.

In Mark 10:46-52, blind Bartimaeus cried out with a loud voice, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” People tried to shut him up, but he cried out even louder. Jesus heard him, and he received his sight.

These people did not pray polite prayers. They cried out. They refused to be silenced. They were desperate for a touch from Jesus. If you want a miracle, you must pray like you need one.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

Are you facing something that is troubling you? A sickness, a financial burden, a broken relationship, a stubborn situation? Daddy says: cry unto God today with all your heart and soul, and He will hear you.

But there is one condition: God will not listen to the prayers of a sinner who has refused to repent and forsake their sins (Isaiah 59:1-2). If you want your prayers to be heard, your heart must be right with God.

So pray fervently. Pray with faith. Pray with urgency. And make sure your heart is clean before Him. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much.

Action Steps

1. Pray with Urgency and Sincerity — Stop praying casually. Approach God with the same desperation as the Canaanite woman and Bartimaeus. Cry out to Him with all your heart.

2. Persist in Prayer — Don’t give up after one attempt. Keep praying. Keep knocking. Keep seeking. Persistent prayer moves the heart of God.

3. Ensure Your Heart Is Clean — Confess and forsake any sin in your life. God will not hear the prayer of a sinner who refuses to repent. Keep your heart right before Him.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You hear me when I call. Thank You for being a God who answers fervent, faith-filled prayers, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have prayed casually and without faith. Forgive me for approaching Your throne with a cold or distracted heart, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, give me a heart of fervent prayer. Teach me to pray with urgency, sincerity, and faith, like the Canaanite woman and Bartimaeus, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, I cry out to You today. Hear me. Answer me. Deliver me from every troubling situation in my life, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, let my prayers avail much. Let the effectual, fervent prayer of my heart move heaven on my behalf, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, give me the grace to persist in prayer. Let me not give up or grow weary. Let me keep knocking until the door opens, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, cleanse my heart. Remove every sin that would hinder my prayers. Let me stand before You righteous and heard, in Jesus’ name.

8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 25 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

I recall a time when my father was sitting in an armchair in front of the house, taking in the fresh air. I was also outside, playing football. Suddenly, I kicked the ball high, and it landed on the roof of the house. The roof of the house was thatched, so when the ball landed, it just stayed there. I then went to get a long stick to dislodge the ball from the roof. However, each time I tried to bring the ball down, it kept moving back, and I couldn’t see it because I was still a young boy with a small stature. After going at it for a while, I got tired.

Then, I went to my father and said, “Daddy, please help me; my ball is on the roof.” My father then said, “You saw me sitting here, but you thought you could do it on your own.” Then, he got up and, in one attempt, he brought the ball down.

Beloved, if you do things your own way, God will not interfere in your matters. He doesn’t force Himself on people; He only helps those who genuinely need His help and ask for it. The popular saying that heaven helps those who help themselves doesn’t apply to God. It is a worldly slogan because God only helps those who are genuinely in need and humbly approach Him for help. Psalm 34:6 says:
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Someone who is poor is genuinely in need of something. Such a person acknowledges God as the only One who can help him or her. In Revelation 3:14-17, the Lord scolded the Laodicean church for calling themselves rich when, indeed, they were poor, wretched, and blind. Those who think they can do it all by themselves are living in deceit. God will fold His arms and watch them struggle, and until they cry to Him for help, they will keep running around in circles. When babies stretch out their arms, it means that they are ready to be carried.

Beloved, open your arms wide today, and let God carry you. Involve Him in all you do so that you will not struggle to do the things He can help you do with ease.

PRAYER POINT

Dear Lord, please take control of every area of my life and grant me ease in all that I do.

HYMN: What a Friend We Have in Jesus

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 25 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “Always Seek His Help,” teaches us a simple but profound truth: God helps those who humbly ask for His help. He does not force Himself on anyone. He waits for us to come to Him.

Daddy also shares his childhood story to buttress the point that if you do things your own way, God will not interfere. But when you cry out to Him, He answers.

1. A Childhood Lesson: The Ball on the Roof

Daddy recalls playing football as a boy and getting stuck on the roof of the house. He tried to retrieve it but couldn’t because he was small. After a while, he got tired and asked for his Father’s help.

His father replied, “You saw me sitting here, but you thought you could do it on your own.” Then he got up and, in one attempt, brought the ball down.

How often do we struggle with problems that God could solve in a moment? The problem is not that God cannot help — it is that we have not asked.

2. God Helps Those Who Humbly Ask

God doesn’t force Himself on people. He only helps those who genuinely need His help and ask for it.

Pride keeps us from asking for help. We want to appear strong, capable, and self-sufficient. But God is not impressed by our self-sufficiency. He is moved by our humility. When you acknowledge that you need Him, He shows up.

3. The Danger of Self-Sufficiency

Like the Laodicean church, those who think they can do it all by themselves are living in deceit.

God will fold His arms and watch them struggle. Until they cry to Him for help, they will keep running around in circles. When babies stretch out their arms, it means they are ready to be carried.

You cannot build a marriage, raise children, run a business, or fulfil your destiny without Him. Stretch out your arms. Let Him carry you.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

You may be struggling with something right now — a financial burden, a health issue, a relationship problem, a decision you need to make. You have been trying to figure it out on your own. You have been running around in circles.

God is sitting right there, waiting for you to ask. He is not far. He is not busy. He is not unwilling. He is just waiting for you to humbly come to Him.

Ask for God’s help today and He will direct you. Acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Action Steps

1. Acknowledge Your Need for God — Stop pretending you have it all together. Admit that you need Him. Humility is the doorway to divine help.

2. Ask Him for Help Specifically — Don’t just pray generally. Tell God exactly what you need. He already knows, but He wants you to ask.

3. Involve Him in Everything — Make it a habit to acknowledge God in every decision, every plan, and every challenge. Let Him direct your paths.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You are my helper. Thank You for being available, willing, and able to help me in every situation, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have tried to do things on my own. Forgive me for my pride and self-sufficiency. I acknowledge that I need You, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I open my arms to You today. Carry me. Help me. I cannot do it without You, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, I cry out to You in my distress. Hear me. Answer me. Set me in a large place, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, deliver me from the deceit of self-sufficiency. Let me never think I am rich when I am actually poor and blind. Let me always depend on You, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, direct my paths. In all my ways, I acknowledge You. Lead me, guide me, and order my steps, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, I involve You in every area of my life — my family, my work, my finances, my health, and my future. Take control, and let me walk in Your ease, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVENS 24 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: NO MORE FAILURE!

MEMORISE:

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57

READ: Romans 8:31-37

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 24 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE

There was a man who always faced setbacks every time he was close to having a breakthrough. Each time a breakthrough was about to happen in his life, something would truncate it. One day, he was informed that he had won a big contract and was instructed to collect his award letter in Abuja. He was so excited about this that he boarded a plane immediately and headed to Abuja.

Unknown to him, the person in charge of the contract had changed his mind and given the contract to someone else. After receiving this news upon his arrival in Abuja, the man decided that he couldn’t bear it anymore. He surrendered his life to Jesus, and I prayed for him. The Lord had mercy on him, broke the yoke of failure in his life, and from then on, he began to record one breakthrough after another.

Beloved, God wants you to live in victory in all areas of your life. He also wants you to move from one level of success to another. Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” While following Jesus doesn’t exempt you from challenges, God’s plan is not for you to live under the shadow of defeat and failure.

I once met a boy who consistently failed all his exams, despite his parents being professors. If he moved from a class of 30 pupils to a class of 35 pupils, his position would move from 30th to 35th; he just couldn’t help it. His parents got him the best private tutors, yet he continued to fail.

One day, his parents brought him to me, and we prayed together. In the next examination he wrote, he came first among his peers. The teachers were shocked, so he was asked to retake the examination. Surprisingly, he scored even higher than he did in his first attempt. Since then, failure has been banished from his life.

Beloved, are you experiencing recurring failure? If you are already born again or if you surrender your life to Jesus right now, I have good news for you: the Lord is more than able to deliver you from the cycle of failure. Call on Him for help today, and He will deliver you. He will show you what you must do to start succeeding, and as you do it, you will never know failure again.

PRAYER POINT

I decree that I will no longer experience failure and
defeat in any area of my life, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Luke 7-8

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 24 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional, “No More Failure!,” delivers a powerful message of hope: God does not want you to live under the shadow of defeat. He wants you to walk in victory — moving from one level of success to another.

Daddy shares two testimonies of people who were trapped in cycles of failure — one in business, one in academics — and how God broke those cycles when they called on Him.

If you are born again, failure is not your portion. God is more than able to deliver you.

1. The Man Who Couldn’t Break Through

Daddy tells of a man who always faced setbacks whenever he was close to a breakthrough. When he couldn’t bear it anymore. He surrendered his life to Jesus. Daddy prayed for him. The Lord had mercy, broke the yoke of failure in his life, and from then on, he began to record one breakthrough after another.

Have you ever felt like something always stops you just before your breakthrough? Like you can see success but never touch it? That is a cycle of failure — and it can be broken. Surrender to Jesus. Call on Him. He can break that yoke.

2. God’s Plan Is Victory, Not Defeat

God wants you to live in victory in all areas of your life. He wants you to move from one level of success to another.

Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”  God’s plan is not for you to live under the shadow of defeat and failure.

You may face challenges. You may face setbacks. But you are not called to live in them. You are called to overcome them. The path of the righteous is not a stagnant path — it is a shining light that grows brighter and brighter.

3. The Boy Who Always Failed

Daddy shares another testimony. He met a boy who consistently failed all his exams. One day, his parents brought him to Daddy, and they prayed together. In the next examination, he came first among his peers. Since then, failure has been banished from his life.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed. It doesn’t matter what people have said about you. When God breaks the yoke, everything changes.

Relating This to Your Everyday Life

Are you experiencing recurring failure? In your academics, your career, your business, your relationships, your finances? Does it feel like something always stops you just before your breakthrough?

If you are born again — or if you surrender your life to Jesus right now — the Lord is more than able to deliver you from the cycle of failure. Call on Him for help today, and He will deliver you. He will show you what you must do to start succeeding. And as you do it, you will never know failure again.

Your past does not define your future. God is not limited by your track record. He can break the yoke. He can turn your story around. No more failure!

Action Steps

1. Surrender Your Life to Jesus — If you have never given your life to Christ, do it today. If you have, recommit yourself. The yoke of failure is broken in His presence.

2. Call on God for Help — Stop struggling in your own strength. Pray specifically about the areas where you have experienced recurring failure. Ask God to break the cycle.

3. Obey What He Tells You to Do — God will show you what you must do to start succeeding. Listen for His instructions and obey them. Do not harden your heart. Your obedience will open the door to your breakthrough.

Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You because You give me victory through Jesus Christ. Thank You for breaking every yoke of failure in my life, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, forgive me for the times I have accepted failure as my portion. Forgive me for doubting Your power to turn my situation around, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I surrender my life to You afresh today. Be the Lord of my academics, my career, my business, and my relationships, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, break every cycle of failure in my life. Every yoke, every pattern, every recurring disappointment — let it be shattered today, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I decree that failure is banished from my life. I will succeed. I will prosper. I will rise, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, show me what I must do to start succeeding. Give me clear instructions and the grace to obey them, in Jesus’ name.
7. I declare that my path shines brighter and brighter. From glory to glory, from victory to victory, from breakthrough to breakthrough — I will never know failure again, in Jesus’ name.
