TOPIC: GOD PROVIDES

MEMORISE:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1

READ: Genesis 22:7-14
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 30 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

I became the General Overseer of RCCG about 45 years ago. At that time, the total income of the church was less than my monthly salary from the university I resigned from. The church had 39 other members of staff, and after paying them, there was usually nothing left for the General Overseer. As a human being, I turned to God and said, “Lord, I told You to leave me alone where I was lecturing, afterall, I was already pastoring. After collecting my salary, I always deduct money for food and fuel for my car, and the rest goes to Your work. Now, what l am getting from the government is no longer available, and this is the income of the church. What guarantee do I have that I will survive?”

Then, God made me a promise, “Son, I have only one guarantee to give you; wherever you go, I will be with you.” Truly, God hasn’t failed me: in 45 years, I have neither borrowed nor begged. Indeed, God provides.

When you see someone who cannot testify to the fact that God provides, it is likely that you have found someone who is stingy, even to God. If you pay attention to my story in the first paragraph, you will see that even when I was a lecturer, almost all my money was given to God. Hence, whenever I am in need, He has never failed me. Luke 6:38 says that it is when you give that it shall be given unto you. The widow of Zarephath understood this, so when God, through Prophet Elijah, asked for her last meal, she gave it. In return, she had more than enough food to last her throughout the famine.

God has been so gracious to many people such that giving Him all their money is not enough to say ‘thank you’ to Him. Despite this, when He asks them for just a little of what they have, they would say ‘no’. Apart from being stingy to God, a lot of them are also stingy to people around them, especially the less privileged.

Proverbs 21:13 says:
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be neard.

Beloved, if you want God to provide for you, don’t be stingy to His work, men and women of God, those around you, or the poor. The liberal soul will surely be made fat (Proverbs 11:25).

ACTION POINT

Cultivate the habit of giving to support God’s work, His ministers, and those in need around you.

TOPIC: NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

MEMORISE:
For with God, nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37

READ: Mark 11:22-24
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.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mark 9:23

Sometime ago, we had a Holy Ghost night in Canada. After the programme. some people rushed to touch the chair I sat on. However, one particular woman didn’t bother; she just went to my wife’s chair, knelt there, and prayed to God. The doctors had told her that she had no womb and that she shouldn’t bother trying to have children. While on her knees, she said, “Lord, the woman who sat here has a womb, and she doesn’t need it anymore. Transfer her womb to me.” By the time she came to testify, she had given birth to five children.

She miraculously had a womb transplant by just touching the chair of the original owner of the womb. This is just one of the little things that God can do. He resurrected a dead man after four days in John 11; there is absolutely nothing that God cannot do. One major thing that can limit His ability to work wonders is unbelief. As powerful as Jesus was during His earthly ministry, He could not perform many miracles in His own hometown because of their unbelief (Matthew 13:58).

During Jesus’ earthly ministry, He would often say to those that He was about to heal, “Your faith has made you whole” (Mark 5:34). In other words, without faith, they would have remained sick.

That big challenge in front of you can be easily solved by God if only you believe. Praying about a problem is not enough; the real question is, “Do you believe that God can solve it? I have seen many people pray without believing that they will receive answers to their prayers, and because of their unbelief, they miss out on their miracles. James 1:6-7 says:

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Nothing is impossible with God; all you have to do is ask Him in faith. Philippians 4:6 says that when you are praying, you should present your requests to God with thanksgiving. In other words, as you are making your request, you should thank Him simultaneously because you know that He has done it already

ACTION POINT:

Go ahead to make decrees according to God’s word concerning the impossible situations around you, and trust Him to turn them around.

TOPIC: THERE IS HOPE

MEMORISE:
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Job 14:7

READ: Psalm 33: 17-22
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 28 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Hopelessness is dangerous; no matter how bad things get, you must never lose hope. In 1 Kings 19:1-8, when things were not going as Elijah expected, he asked God to kill him because he had lost hope. However, in 1 Kings 21:20, Ahab, whom he was running from, said to him, “Have you found me, my enemy?” The one who was pursuing Elijah had started running from him.

Beloved, don’t let people tell you that your case is hopeless; they are not your God. They did not bring you this far, and so, they cannot control your future. If they say that it is too late for you, tell them that they do not control time; only God controls times and seasons, and He didn’t bring you this far to abandon you.

Your tomorrow is going to be alright; therefore, you should remain hopeful. My Helper is still alive; He does not change (Hebrews 13:8). He is the Alpha and the Omega, the One who is, was, and is to come. If He has helped me thus far. He will help me until the end.

I have countless testimonies of times when it looked like all hope was lost, but God stepped in and did the impossible. I remember after my wife had undergone three Caesarean Sections, and the doctors said that she must not get pregnant again. However, we were inspired by Luke 1:37 to try again. Throughout her pregnancy, we didn’t see any doctor.

When it was time for her to deliver, she had a prolonged labour, and after three days, I became very afraid. I heard the devil tell me clearly, “Stupid man, you claim to have a PhD; your wife is going to die tonight, and you will see what her relatives will do to you.” When I heard that, a holy anger rose up within me, and I said, “Listen devil, if my wife dies tonight, I will ask the General Superintendent for permission to preach on Sunday, and the first thing I will say is ‘there is nothing my God cannot do.” Shortly after that, I heard the cry of a baby coming from the maternity ward. My wife was the only one in the ward, so I knew it was our baby.

When God starts something, He finishes it; He doesn’t abandon His children halfway. He is faithful and will see to it that all ends well.
Beloved, never lose hope.

KEY POINT

Never lose hope.

Philippians 2:9

READ: Jeremiah 32:17-20
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 27 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Years ago, a young man was involved in a road accident in which everyone else died except him. He was taken to a hospital and was in a coma for several days. While still in coma, he would occasionally regain consciousness and shout, “Jesus.” Then, he would relapse. This kept reoccurring until he regained full consciousness. He recovered fully, and He is still alive as I write this. No matter how helpless a situation is, when you call on the name of Jesus, everything turns around for good. The name of Jesus is enough to bring down any mountain. Philippians 2:10 says:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

A young boy, who was the son of a Muslim cleric, gave his life to Christ. His father felt embarrassed that his son had converted to Christianity, and after many arguments and persuasions, it became clear that his son was unwilling to reverse his decision. Feeling frustrated, the father got his fellow clerics to produce a charm to attack his son. One day, he called his son’s name with the charm, and as expected from a son who hears his father’s call, the boy answered. As he answered, the young boy looked up and saw a big rock coming towards him. Immediately, he shouted, “Jesus!” and it disappeared. It was a spiritual attack, but it failed at the mention of the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus is powerful and potent all by itself. This is why you must learn to use it in the face of impending danger. However, you should not call the name of Jesus in vain or as a mere exclamation. Do not call the name of Jesus casually so you do not attract the wrath of the owner of the name. Even as a human being, you would not like it if people toy with your name; how much more the Most High God? Exodus 20:7 says:
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Beloved, you will overcome whatever challenges you face if you call upon the name of Jesus. As the Bible says in Romans 10:13, whosoever calls on the name of Jesus shall be saved.

KEY POINT

The name of Jesus is not an ordinary name: it is filled with power!

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:18

The above Bible passage shows how God sees us as His children and the authority He has given to us. It says that we are so powerful that we can decide what happens in heaven. If we bind something on earth, the hosts of heaven will validate it. It is important that we know how powerful we are because Psalm 49:20 says:
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

A lot of Christians are perishing because they don’t realise that they are sitting in a place of honour. Witches and wizards are tormenting children of God who are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6) but acting like helpless chickens because they don’t know who they are.

Jesus said in John 14:12 that you will do the works that He did and even greater. You can do everything that Jesus did in the Scriptures and even more. In Mark 11:13-14, Jesus cursed a fig tree that appeared fruitful but, upon closer inspection, was barren. Overnight, the tree withered completely from its roots because the process of divine curses operates from the roots upwards, just like divine blessings.

Furthermore, Jesus said:

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.
Mark 11:23

Some years ago, during a visit to a state capital in Nigeria, I was told about a tree at the centre of the town that could not be uprooted. In fact, the state government had to construct a road around the tree because it could not be uprooted. I stretched my hand towards the tree and declared in the name of the Lord that the tree be cursed. That very night, a storm hit the town, and by the next morning, the tree had been completely uprooted. The tree got uprooted because a son of the living God who understands his authority issued a command that had to be obeyed. You can do the same and even more if you are truly in right standing with God.

REFLECTION

Are you standing right with God such that you can issue decrees by His word and they will stand?

TOPIC: EVEN IN THE FIRE

MEMORISE:
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
Job 13:15

READ: Daniel 3:9-25
9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Sometime ago, a lady in one of the RCCG parishes was sacked unjustly from her workplace. Shortly after that, she embarked on a journey, and highway robbers stopped her and took her car away. Days later, while she was trying to cook, her kitchen caught fire. All these occurrences happened within a week. Interestingly, the following Sunday was Thanksgiving Sunday, and she danced and rejoiced more than everyone else.

Everybody stared at her because she was the last person they expected to be dancing like that. However, she told them, “I lost my job, not my salvation. They stole my car, but they didn’t steal my life. My kitchen caught fire, but I am not going to hell. Whatever the devil has tried, I am still here.” That is the testimony of someone who had an intimate relationship with God before challenges came, and He never lets such people down (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

If anyone tells you that you will never face challenges because you are a Christian, that fellow is not telling you the whole truth. Challenges will come, but your response to them will be determined by how much you love God. If a challenge pushes you away from God, then your love is small. Some people confess their undying love for God, singing that they will always follow Him, whether through storms or fires. However, when challenges come, they forget their confession and turn away from Him.

If telling the truth about a situation at work will cost you your job, will you lie to save your job or tell the truth and bear the consequences? You may claim now that you will always tell the truth, but what will really determine what you will do in that situation is your love for God now. Your love for Him must be built from today if you will remain standing in the face of challenges.

In Daniel 3, the three Hebrew boys were confronted with the option to either bow to an idol or be thrown into fire. They chose fire, and that shows real love for God. That love was not cultivated on the day the king gave the command for them to bow; they had been cultivating it long before then.

Beloved, build your love for Christ now. Study your Bible diligently, pray without ceasing, and keep fellowshipping with other Christians so that when the day of adversity comes, your love for God will keep you standing.

REFLECTION

Can you truly say right now that you love God with all your heart?

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Some people who are not Christians become very rich because they understand the principle of sowing and reaping. If those who do not know God benefit from this simple principle, how much more God’s children?

During a Kenneth Hagin camp meeting several years ago, a call was made for a special offering to be collected. Then, one man got up and said, “Brothers and sisters, please give very generously this evening because the total amount you all give is what my wife and I will give.” There were about 17,500 people in attendance. When the offering was counted, it amounted to about $3.5million. He got up again and said, “Brethren, is this all you can do?” I said to myself, “This fellow knows something that I do not know,” so I cornered him after the meeting and asked, “What is your secret?” He said, “Five years ago, I started a business with $500, and I told God, ‘This company is Your company. I will not insult You by giving You 10 percent; I will keep 10 percent, and You will have 90 percent. It is up to You to prosper the company if You want to.” He continued, “Sir, today, I have a turnover of $50million.”

I learnt a major lesson that day. Though I do not give God 90 percent yet, I am on my way, and He has already blessed me beyond my expectations. If you see someone walking in glory, try and find out what their story is. If you see someone prospering much more than you, and you are both children of the same heavenly Father, find out their secret.

The Bible says that God blessed Abraham in everything (Genesis 24:1). He was rich in cattle, houses, lands, and servants. Today, billions of Christians say, “Abraham’s blessings are mine.” However, the same Abraham was willing to sacrifice his only son at God’s instruction (Genesis 22:10). He also obeyed God to leave his father’s house to an unknown land (Genesis 12:4), lived in tents in the land God showed him, refusing to become attached to anything God blessed him with (Hebrews 11:9), and gave tithes to God (Genesis 14:20). Those who will enjoy the blessings of Abraham must do his works.

Beloved, there’s always a story behind every glory. Don’t just ask God to give you the glory you see on others who are shining today; try to find out what they did to walk in that glory.

KEY POINT

There is always a story behind the glory you see.

TOPIC: NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS

MEMORISE:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:11

READ: Isaiah 3:10-11
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 23 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

If Christ is in you, your hope is glory (Colossians 11:27). No matter who you are, as long as you have Christ in you, you can hope for God’s glory. Today’s Bible reading says that while it will be well with the righteous, it shall be ill with the wicked. No matter your past, as long as you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you’re living according to His will, you have been made righteous, and it will be well with you. Those who aren’t born again cannot be righteous; God sees them as wicked (John 3:18-21), and He has said that it shall not be well with them (Isaiah 3:11).

I always tell my children at the beginning of each year, “It’s going to be well with me this year.” I know this because the One who said that it shall be well with the righteous never discriminates. What He says to one, He says to all (Mark 13:37).

God is not a man that He should lie; when He says something, He will do it (Numbers 23:19). When He makes a promise, and you meet the conditions of that promise, you will receive it at the appointed time. The promise of a glorious tomorrow for you, according to Colossians 1:27, is conditional, and the condition is that Christ must be in you. Those who refuse to be connected to Jesus cannot see His promises fulfilled.

A man once asked me to tell him about his future, and I replied, “That is easy. Are you born again?” He answered, “No.” I then told him that his future would be terrible. He said, “How do you know? You don’t even know me, neither do you know my name. You’ve not even prayed.” I then said, “That is unnecessary. Isaiah 3:11 says, “Woe to the wicked, for it shall be ill with him.” Then, he said, “What if I said I am born again?” I replied, “I would have told you that your tomorrow will be alright.” He then said, “What if I am willing to be a child of God now?” | replied, “Your tomorrow will be alright.”

God is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11); no matter your background, His word is true for everybody.

KEY POINT

Irrespective of your background, you can be assured of a glorious future if you surrender your life completely to Christ.

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.
Hosea 14:4

After Jesus was crucified, Peter thought that it was the end of His ministry on the earth. Therefore, in John 21:3, he told his colleagues, “You know what, if I can’t go forward, at least I can return to where I am coming from. Brethren, I am going back to fishing,” and they decided to follow him. However, while he was fishing, the Lord met him and restored him. The same Peter, who thought that the end had come in his walk with Christ, began to heal the sick with his shadow, as we see in Acts 5:15:

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

If you have failed God at one time or the other, or you feel that God cannot use you again because of the sins you have committed, let me tell you, if you repent and forsake your old ways, God can still use you mightily. He specialises in using the most unlikely people in powerful measures.

Beloved, don’t be like Samson, who disappointed God. He deviated from the path that God laid out for him and started engaging in sin. Eventually, the enemy captured him, and he lost the connection he had with God.

However, when he prayed to the One whose mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), that connection was restored. Not only was the connection restored, Samson also received the power he had lost. In one day, he killed more Philistines than he had killed in his entire life. God had apparently forgiven and restored Samson, but he never forgave himself, and so, he asked to die along with his enemies (Judges 16:17-30). If you are backslidden, the Lord can still restore you if you will allow Him to. Go back to Him in prayers, start studying your Bible, and begin to walk with Him in obedience in fellowship with other Christians. You will see that as you take one step towards Him, He will take 99 steps towards you.

I have seen many backsliders completely restored by God. In fact, you will never know that they were once backslidden. When they genuinely repented, God took charge of their lives and used them powerfully. Beloved, if you have strayed from God’s path, He can do the same for you if you repent genuinely and come back to Him.

KEY POINT

God is able to completely restore a backslidden believer if he or she repents.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 JANUARY 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: THE POWER OF TESTIMONIES

MEMORISE:
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26:7

READ: Psalm 145:1-12
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 21 JANUARY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing God’s word. Revelation 12:11 also tells us that testimonies are powerful weapons that can defeat the devil. This is why I keep sharing testimonies. I have discovered that many people don’t often remember the Bible passages I quote during my sermons, but they remember the testimonies. When you look back at the things the Lord has done, you become confident that you can overcome any obstruction that may come your way.

In 1 Samuel 17:1-51, when David confronted Goliath, his testimonies gave him the assurance that he would win. He said, “The God who delivered me from the lion and the bear will deal with Goliath.” God has kept you alive until now, and He will keep you unto the end, in Jesus’ name.

Bartimaeus, in Mark 10:46-52, was a blind man who was begging by the roadside. He heard that Jesus was passing by and began to cry for help. How did he know that Jesus can open blind eyes? I’m sure it was because he had heard testimonies of miracles that Jesus had performed. So, when he heard that the same Jesus was passing by, he knew that his miracle had come.

Several years ago, I shared a testimony about how my wife delivered a baby naturally after she had delivered three of our children through Caesarean Sections. The doctor had told us, “No more babies,” and we agreed. Thereafter, we became born again, and one day, I read the Bible passage that says, “…with God nothing shall be impossible,” and I believed it. My wife and I agreed that we would have another child, and this time, we would not involve any doctor. The baby was born safely by God’s grace. I shared the testimony for the first time in Kaduna, a state in Northern Nigeria, as I preached a message titled, ’10 steps to your miracle’ (The original sermon note l used can be accessed in the Open Heavens International Centre). A woman who attended the programme wrote all the steps in her notebook. She had undergone two Caesarean Sections and was pregnant with her third baby.

When she was about to give birth, she took the notebook and began to follow the steps. While she was still acting on the steps, the baby came.

Beloved, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If you have heard someone share a testimony concerning whatever situation you are going through, have faith that your miracle will also come.

ACTION POINT

List at least five things God has done for you and share your testimonies with those around you.
