TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR MARRIAGES

MEMORISE
With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians 4:2

READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

MEMORISE: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5

READ: Psalm 130:5-7
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 13 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

My Helper is alive, and He does not change (Hebrews 13:8). He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One who was, is, and is to come (Revelation 1:8). He has helped me thus far, and He will help me until the end This is my hope and confidence.

It is dangerous to be hopeless; never lose hope. In 1 Kings 19:1-8, when things were not going the way Elijah expected them to go, he asked God to kill him. However, in 1 Kings 21:1-24, you will see in verse 20 that Ahab, whom he had been running from, said to him, “Have you found me, my enemy.” The one who was pursuing Elijah was now the one running away from him. In the name of the Lord of hosts, all those who have been pursuing you will run when they see you.

Don’t let anybody tell you that your case is hopeless; they are not your God, and they are not the ones who brought you this far. If they say it is too late for you, tell them that they don’t control time. God is the One who controls times and seasons, and He didn’t bring you this far to abandon you.

God’s word is a treasure chest of hope. Whenever a situation seems hopeless, declare His word. He has said that though your beginning was small, your latter end will greatly increase (Job 8:7). His word also says that nothing is impossible with Him (Luke 1:37). Since God is involved in your life, every impossibility becomes possible, in Jesus’ name.

He has promised to bless and increase you and your children greatly (Psalm 115:14). He also said that as long as you follow Him uprightly, your end will be peace (Psalm 37:37).

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:13

God is the God of hope. When He gives a man hope, He accompanies that hope with joy and peace. In His presence, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Beloved, anything that makes you feel hopeless is not of God; it wants to suck out your joy and make you lose your peace – don’t allow it. Stay in the word of God and put on your garment of praise. I pray that today, you will receive good news that will make you full of hope and joy, in Jesus’ name.

ACTION POINT:

Spend some time reading about God’s promises concerning the situations or things you feel hopeless about.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 12 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Many secret societies promise people riches, power, and other good things of life. If you have been invited to join such a group, I advise you to run because all their promises are lies, and once you join, you will realise that it is a trap of the devil and it is usually almost impossible to leave. You will also find out that the devil will demand your soul in exchange for the glittering things that were used to lure you in. These things, however, cannot measure up to your soul, as shown in toddy s memory verse.

Yes, your friends might already be making so much money than you thought possible. They will tell you they are enjoying life and might even be calling you a fool for not joining them in doing things that God does not approve of.

Beloved, I can tell you for a fact that they are only pretending as most of them wish they never joined in the first place because the prices they have paid outweigh the benefits they claim to enjoy. Why trade your soul for things that have no eternal value? Only God’s blessings make people rich without adding sorrow, heartache, or trouble.

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22

The devil doesn’t give anyone free things. If he gives riches, he will take things that money cannot buy, including children, health, peace of mind, and the destinies of future generations. Like Esau who sold his birthright for a plate of porridge and later lost his true blessings, those who chase after riches from ungodly sources and evil associations become shortchanged eventually. They inherit sorrow at the end of the day.

Our Father’s ultimate desire is to give His children all things richly to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). He gives His children the power to make wealth, but the condition is that they remember and acknowledge Him in all their ways.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 8:18

Beloved, when you seek God first, He will add every other thing you need to live a successful life (Matthew 6:33). God’s ways of making people rich might not be as fast as many people desire, but His ways are sure, proven, and everlasting.

KEY POINT:

Those who chase after riches from ungodly sources and evil associations become shortchanged eventually.

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8 The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
9 The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Ordinarily, a fish in a well might seem to be doing well as it swims in circles. However, it can’t get out because it is surrounded by a wall. Being in prison is just like being a fish in a well. Prisoners are fed, but usually not with the kinds of food they would love to eat. Also, when they are sick, they are treated. I know this because I go to prisons to preach. Prisoners are taken care of and appear to live a seemingly normal life, but their freedom is limited within the walls of the prison.

If you are in a group or association that you cannot dare to come out of, you are in prison. It may seem like being a part of that cult is giving you some privileges. However, when you look closer, you will see that you have given more than you have gotten from the group. Most times, they will ask you to give things or make sacrifices that would hurt you greatly, including sacrificing your loved ones. Worse still, no matter how terrible what you might be asked to give is, you cannot leave. You may have seen examples of people who tried to leave but died, became mad, or encountered something worse. Often, such associations hold firmly to their members and violently go after those who leave; this is why you need the Great I AM on your side.

Beloved, the only way to get out of a prison is when a superior force comes to rescue you. If you are in bondage spiritually, you need Jesus to get you out. Just as the Israelites needed God’s mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt, you also need to cry out to God to bring you out.

Beloved, if you are neck-deep in any evil association, God can save you when you cry out to Him and repent genuinely (Psalm 79:11).

He doesn’t ignore a sincere cry, neither does He despise a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). He wants to save you now so you can enjoy the true freedom that comes with being a part of His Kingdom. Genuine repentance means giving up everything you have received from the association and denouncing everything about them. You cannot hold onto the devil’s lies and receive God’s freedom.

KEY POINT:

Christ is the only One who gives true freedom.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 10 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Becoming the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21) is a great responsibility because people should see God’s righteousness in you. This does not give you the liberty to sin; rather, it gives you the responsibility to reflect Christ in a perverse world.

I once travelled from llesa, a town in Western Nigeria, to visit my Father in the Lord in Lagos. As I was driving to see him, I remembered that I shouldn’t visit a man of God empty-handed. When I got to Surulere in Lagos, I saw an orange seller by the roadside and stopped to get some.

When I arrived at his place, I presented the oranges, and as he ate the first understood the question; he wanted to know if I bought the oranges on the way before I got to Lagos. I should have told him that I bought them in Surulere, but I said “Yes.” Immediately, I became uncomfortable because the Holy Spirit convicted me. Consequently, I cleared in Surulere.” The old man looked at me, smiled, and said, “Holy Spirit.”

As the righteousness of God in Christ, you cannot enjoy sin any longer. You cannot lie conveniently or steal without remorse. Just as Papa knew that it was the Holy Spirit who convicted me, people must see a change in your actions and attitude if you truly carry God’s righteousness.

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matthew 3:8

John the Baptist made the statement in the Scripture above to the Pharisees and Sadducees who had come to his baptism. He told them that it wasn’t enough to claim to be righteous when their actions contradicted their claims. This applies to you too; your actions should not comtradict God’s word.

Righteousness means right living; therefore, your lifestyle must reflect God’s standard pattern for life. It must reveal God’s truth, peace, and love to the world. God has a standard which is summarised with this bold message: “…Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19).

Beloved, God wants you to be filled with all the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ to the praise and glory of His name (Philippians 1:11). Don’t just claim to be the righteousness of God in Christ; live it

KEY POINT:

You must bring forth the fruits of righteousness.

READ: Daniel 2:13-19
13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 9 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

There was a couple who had just joined the church. After some weeks, we noticed that the wife stopped coming, so we decided to visit her. When we did, she said that she stopped coming because ever since she started attending services, she lost the ability to fly in the middle of the night to her coven of witches.

Just by attending our services, the spirit of witchcraft in her became paralysed. Just as l mentioned yesterday that people can contact demons by associating with demon-possessed people and staying in demonic environments, people can also become spiritually vibrant by associating with godly people and staying in Spirit-filled atmospheres.

The quality of your association will impact the state of your life. If you are surrounded by people who despise godly things, you can’t expect to enjoy freedom in life. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says you must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Anyone you will call your close friend must also be a friend of Jesus. However, if your friends love God and desire His presence fervently, you cannot remain spiritually lukewarm.

Also, what you listen to, watch, and read plays a huge role in how much liberty you will enjoy in all areas of your life. You cannot study the Bible diligently every day and remain in satan’s bondage. As you read God’s word, His light will fill your heart, and you will receive life-saving directions and instructions. As you fellowship with God’s word, you will become enlightened in His ways (Psalm 119:130). Enlightened people cannot be easily deceived or swayed by the devil’s lies. They are not ignorant of the devil’s devices, and therefore, he cannot take advantage of them (2 Corinthians 2:11).

Apart from God’s word, you should also fellowship with godly materials, songs, and videos. Let your eyes be fixed on things that will always uplift and strengthen you in God. Fill your environment with godly things that will push you to seek God more and more. As you do this, you will enjoy greater spiritual freedom, and everyone who encounters you will perceive and receive the fresh breath of heaven.

Beloved, spend time with people, things, and places where God’s presence abides, because in His presence, there is freedom, joy, and all-round peace and prosperity.

KEY POINT:

Your association will greatly impact your life.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 7 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

A major characteristic of mountain-moving faith is that it also moves the believer. In other words, when you have faith, you’ll begin to make moves in line with your faith. David had faith in God that he would kill Goliath, therefore, he boldly went to meet the king for permission to fight the giant. When Goliath charged at him, David didn’t back down; he ran towards the giant and eventually had Goliath’s head in his hand (1 Samuel 17:51-54). If you truly believe, you’ll start moving towards the outcome you want.

Years ago, I was down with malaria on a day we were to have a Bible study in church, so l stayed back at home. I lay in bed and decided to listen to a sermon. The sermon was about faith, and as if the preacher could see me, he said, “What are you doing on the bed if you know that Jesus’ stripes have already healed you? Get up!” That stirred my faith, so I got up and decided to go to church. My entire body ached, but somehow, I made it to church and sat at the back. During the praise and worship session, l ignored the pains in my body and danced. After a while, I felt the urge to urinate, and by the time I left the toilet, the sickness had vanished.

My Father in the Lord once conducted a revival in our church in Ilorin, a state in Southern Nigeria, and God moved him to say, “If there’s anyone here trusting God for the fruit of the womb, go and buy the appropriate clothes for the gender of the baby you want.” A woman heard this, and when she got home, she bought a cot and clothes for a baby boy, which she displayed for everybody to see. Her neighbours laughed at her, saying that she had gone mad out of her desperation to have a child. She ignored them, held on to the word of the man of God, and nine months later, when the baby boy arrived, it was her turn to laugh.

Beloved, start making your own move of faith now. Whatever you are trusting God for, make moves towards it as if you have gotten it already, just like the woman I mentioned in the paragraph above. I declare that the Almighty God will give you a miracle that will surprise everyone around you, in Jesus’ name. However, you have to take a step of faith.

ACTION POINT:

Make a move towards what you are believing God for.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, have faith in God.
Mark 11:22

READ: Matthew 21:21-22
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 6 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

I believe that the most potent force in the world is a Christian’s faith. There is no mountain that your faith cannot move. In Mark 9:23, Jesus Christ said:
… If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

When Jesus says ‘All things’, He really means ALL things. This is why, whenever you need something from God, you must not allow any form of doubt to creep into your heart. James 1:6-7 says that if you doubt, you shouldn’t expect to get anything. When someone told Jairus that his daughter had died, the Bible says:
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. Mark 5:36

In the Scripture above, Jesus wanted to ensure that Jairus’ faith was intact, and because he remained in faith, before that day ended, his daughter, who had died, came back to life.

In Matthew 15:21-28, a woman came to Jesus, crying for help. Jesus ignored her and acted as if He couldn’t hear her at all. However, at the end of the day, He turned to her and said, “Woman, great is thy faith.” In other words, He was saying that even if He had not wanted to grant her request, He would grant it because of her great faith.

If you can only have faith, all things are possible to you. When you read through the Bible to study those whom Jesus healed of their sicknesses and diseases, you will notice He often makes this statement – “Thy faith has made thee whole.” In essence, what made them whole was their faith in the fact that Jesus had the power to heal them. Those who didn’t have faith didn’t get many miracles (Matthew 13:58).

Beloved, when you come to Jesus for something. I want you to have it at the top of your mind that the One whom you have approached is the creator of the entire universe. He can snap His fingers, and the whole world will disappear. He once brought water out of a rock. There is absolutely nothing that He cannot do. What you consider as a very big problem is too insignificant to be a problem to Him; just rest in the fact that you have brought the matter to the Almighty God who can do all things (Jeremiah 32:27), end start rejoicing.

KEYPOINT:

If you can just believe, you will experience great miracles.

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

READ
Matthew 17:15-16, Acts 5:12-16
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Acts 5:12-16:
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
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.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 5 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Every great minister of God must have had their days of little beginnings, and their greatness today testifies of their faithfulness over time. If you get discouraged during your days of little beginnings, you will deny yourself the opportunity to experience the great moves of God.

In 1980, while travelling throughout Nigeria, supervising our church programmes, and making sure that everything was in order, I had an unforgettable experience. I was preaching in a town called Warri when suddenly, I saw an open vision. In the vision, I saw that a young boy, who was born blind, received his sight. As wasn’t as mature as l am now, didn’t wait for God to give me the details of the vision before I said, “There is a young boy here who is blind, God wants to open your eyes.

Come quickly!” Nobody moved. I continued, “I know what I saw. Maybe it’s your son, and he’s at home. Go and bring him quickly; I will wait.” Still, nobody moved. I knew that my God doesn’t lie, so I said, “Okay, I will wait for one hour after the service. Maybe you don’t want to miss what’s going on now. After the service, go and bring the boy.” I waited after the service, but no one brought any boy to me.

Sadly, after the time elapsed, I left for Akure, which was my next stop. Because I waited an extra hour for the blind boy, I got there late, and someone else was already preaching when l arrived. Suddenly, while the sermon was going on, an elderly man got up. He had a young boy with him, and they began to move towards the altar. The boy was blind, and as I looked closely, I saw that it was the boy in my vision. The father wanted prayers for his son, but I knew that the protocol officers were going to turn him back, saying, “You can’t go to the altar while the preacher is preaching.” I ran towards the officers to say, “Please don’t turn them back. I saw this boy in a vision; he is about to receive a miracle.” However, before I got to them, the boy heard my footsteps, turned towards me, and his eyes opened.

Beloved, God proved Himself mighty in my days of little beginnings, and He has remained faithful up to now. He will prove Himself mighty too in whatever phase you are currently in your life, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT:

Remain faithful in your days of little beginnings, and in due time, you will see God’s mighty hand at work in your life.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 FEBRUARY 2025 DEVOTIONAL TODAY

TOPIC: NO ROOM FOR LAZINESS

MEMORISE:
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Proverbs 19:15

READ: Proverbs 24:30-34
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 4 FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE TODAY

Some people think that they can become successful without working hard. I was at a students’ programme, and I became alarmed when some students were said to have spent all their time praying and fasting instead of spending time to study and prepare for their exams. When I inquired further, they said that they believe that the Holy Spirit would help them. They cited my experience about the Holy Spirit teaching me how to solve a complex mathematical problem from the Bible. I told them that I had already studied, laboured, and battled with 186 simultaneous equations for 18 months before the solution was revealed to me through a Scripture in the Bible.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of what we have learned. Therefore, you should start every endeavour by putting in the required effort. If you fail to prepare and work hard, you will fail, and the Holy Ghost will console you. In God, there is no room for laziness.

Hard work and diligence are vital to getting to the top. While we must pray, fast, and study the word, we cannot do away with hard work. Great men work hard; that is why they turn out great.

Beloved, staying at the top is more difficult than getting there. It takes greater effort to remain a champion than to become one. A philosopher once said, “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

Proverbs 22:29 says that diligent men stand before kings. If you are not diligent, you will not get anywhere. You cannot afford to fold your arms and expect God to work for you. Paul said that he planted, Apollos watered, and God gave the increase. If they did not plant or water, they would not have received any increase from God (1 Corinthians 3:6). If Paul, the great apostle laboured fervently and diligently, then you have no excuse to be lazy.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. – John 9:4

The Scripture above are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. If our Lord worked and diligently did the will of the Father, every believer must follow suit. Just like Him, we must also do the works of Him that has sent us, and to do them successfully, we must steer clear of idleness and laziness.

REFLECTION:

Are you diligent in everything that you do?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Leviticus 22-23

HYMN 32: TO THE WORK! TO THE WORK! WE ARE SERVANTS OF GOD
