OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST I

MEMORISE
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8

READ: Acts 1:12-14
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2025 TODAY MESSAGE

The first time the Holy Ghost came to dwell in man was on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-12. Jesus had told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Ghost (Luke 24:49). The day of Pentecost and the events that followed defined Christianity forever. If only there could be a repeat of that day in churches all over the world; oh, what a revival that will be.

There was a similar experience in Azusa, USA, in 1906, and up until today, people are still talking about that revival. For the next few days, I will be examining what happened on the day of Pentecost and the implications of the events of that day.

One major thing you must note is that the disciples were in an upper room – they were separated from the rest of the world. While everyone around them was enjoying the Passover feast. they were in a different realm, praying, fasting, and yearning to go deeper in the Lord. It we are to experience a repeat of that day, Christians must learn to live separately from the world (2 Corinthians 6:14).

You cannot be engrossed in the pursuit of material things like the rest of the world and expect the Holy Spirit to descend on you and manifest through you as He did on the day of Pentecost. You cannot expect to carry the power of the Holy Ghost when your eyes are focused on worldly things. What you behold is what you will eventually become (2 Corinthians 3:18). You cannot love the world and claim to also love God (1 John 2:15). You cannot keep listening to worldly music and expect to be filled with the Holy Spirit. What you listen to greatly impacts your life, and faith comes by hearing God’s word (Romans 10:17).

In the upper room, the disciples were not distracted by mundane things. Their eyes, representing their focus, were single, causing them to be filled with light (Matthew 6:22). Their desire was to wait for the promise of the Father, and they did this wholeheartedly. To receive and manifest the Holy Spirit’s power, you must seek God wholeheartedly.

Only those who seek God with all their hearts and souls find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29). Only those who separate themselves from sin and distractions will receive the Holy Spirit’s power, like on the day of Pentecost. Beloved, God wants you to be separate because you are His (2 Corinthians 6:17) and not of this world (John 15:19).

ACTION POINT:

Let go of distractions and everything that can keep you from being filled with the Holy Spirit.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2025 TODAY COMMENTARY

---

1. The Pentecost Paradigm: A Model for Revival

Open Heaven devotional for today begins by highlighting the first indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). This event:

• Defined New Testament Christianity transitioning from law to grace, fear to power.
• Birthed the Church’s missionary zeal (Acts 1:8 → Acts 2:41 – 3,000 saved in one day).

Key Insight:

• Pentecost wasn’t a one-time event but a pattern for spiritual empowerment.
• Azusa Street Revival (1906) mirrored Pentecost, proving God repeats His moves when conditions are met.

Application:
✔ Pray for a fresh Pentecost in your life/church.
✔ Study revival histories (e.g., Wales 1904, Hebrides 1949) to discern God’s patterns.

---

2. The Upper Room Principle: Separation for Impartation

The disciples’ preparation teaches:

1. Physical Separation:
   • They stayed in the upper room, distanced from Passover festivities (Acts 1:13-14).
   • Principle: “Come out from among them and be separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17).
2. Spiritual Focus:
   • Prayer and fasting replaced worldly distractions (v. 14).
   • Unity (“with one accord”) preceded the outpouring (Acts 2:1).

Modern Parallels:

• Social media/news addiction vs. pursuit of God’s presence.
• Materialism vs. kingdom priorities (Matthew 6:33).

Warning:

• “You cannot love the world and God” (1 John 2:15). Compromise dilutes power.

Action Step:
✔ Fast from distractions (e.g., entertainment) for 3 days to seek God.

---

3. The Cost of Spiritual Power

The devotional outlines non-negotiable conditions for Pentecostal power:

Requirement	Biblical Support	Modern Application
Holiness	2 Corinthians 6:14-18	Reject sinful habits/associations
Focused Desire	Matthew 6:22	Prioritize God’s presence over pleasures
Word-Centeredness	Romans 10:17	Replace worldly music/media with Scripture
Unity	Acts 2:1	Resolve conflicts in the church/family

Key Quote:
“What you behold is what you become” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Prayer:
“Lord, purify my gaze. Fix my eyes on You alone!”

---

4. The Reward of Wholehearted Seeking

God promises:

• “You will seek Me and find Me when you search with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
• Pentecost was birthed from 10 days of relentless seeking (Acts 1:14 → 2:1-4).

Personal Testimony (Adeboye’s Implication):

• Revival comes when believers emulate the upper room:
  • Sacrificial prayer (Colossians 4:2).
  • Radical obedience (John 14:15).

Encouragement:

• Your “upper room” (prayer closet, small group) can become a power hub.

---

5. A Prophetic Call to the Modern Church

Today’s devotional sounds an urgent alarm:

• Worldliness in the church has quenched the Spirit’s power (1 Thessalonians 5:19).
• Solution: Return to Pentecostal purity and passion.

3 Steps to Personal Pentecost:

1. Repent of compromise (Revelation 2:5).
2. Separate from sinful/distracting influences.
3. Tarry in prayer until empowered (Luke 24:49).

Declaration:
“I choose separation over assimilation. Fill me afresh, Holy Spirit!”

---

Final Thought: You Are a Candidate for Power!

The same Spirit who fell at Pentecost lives in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). Your obedience triggers His manifestation.

Prayer of Consecration:
“Father, I surrender every distraction. Prepare me as You did the upper room disciples. Baptize me in fresh power for global witness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

“Your ‘upper room’ season of separation will birth your ‘Pentecost’ of power!”

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 31 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: HE CAN USE UNBELIEVERS TOO

MEMORISE
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour
2 Timothy 2:20

READ: Ezra 1:1-11
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LordGod of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.

6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

Today’s memory verse tells us that there are vessels unto honour and unto dishonour in a great man’s house. God will always find something to use people for; He will use His children as vessels unto honour, while those who refuse to live a holy life will be used as vessels unto dishonour.

One day, while driving to church to minister to some sick people, I got stuck in a terrible traffic jam. After a while, I noticed a side of the road that was free of traffic, and I moved my car there. Unknown to me, there was a rule that vehicles could only drive on that side of the road after 10am, and that was why it was free. Some policemen stopped my car and said, “Don’t you know that you can only pass here from 10am?” I told them I didn’t know and that I was sorry. I explained that I am a pastor, and I was hurrying to go and pray for the sick.

They said, “Well, you know what to do.” I knew they were expecting a bribe, but as a child of God, I couldn’t do it. Therefore, they said, “You will wait here until 10am before we let you go.” As I waited, some street boys who were some distance away recognised me, and one of them said, “That is Daddy Adeboye. It seems the policemen are harassing him; let’s go and help him.” When the policemen saw them approaching, they left me and hurried away.

In that situation, God used the street boys to threaten the policemen into letting me go.

When God wanted to free His people from Babylon, He used Cyrus, an unbelieving ruler. Long before his birth, Isaiah had prophesied about him and the part he would play in the freedom of God’s people (Isaiah 44:28, Isaiah 45:1-5). God can use unbelievers to do His will; however, such unbelievers will still end up in hell if they do not surrender to Christ, as all sinners will end up in hell.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18

Beloved, surrender your life to Christ if you are not yet born again and begin to live a holy life so that God can use you as a vessel unto honour and not unto dishonour.

KEY POINT

God will always use people for His will. However, they can choose to either be vessels unto honour or vessels unto dishonour.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 31 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

1. The Divine Distinction: Vessels of Honor vs. Dishonor

Open Heaven devotional for today begins by drawing a striking contrast between two types of vessels in God’s “great house” (the world/Church):

• Vessels of honor (gold/silver): Believers who pursue holiness (2 Timothy 2:21).
• Vessels of dishonor (wood/clay): Those who reject God’s standards, yet He still uses them temporarily (e.g., Cyrus, Pharaoh).

Key Insight:

• God’s sovereignty: He can use anyone even unbelievers to fulfill His plans (Proverbs 21:1).
• Eternal consequences: Being used by God ≠ salvation (John 3:18).

Application:
✔ Examine your life: “Am I a vessel of honor—set apart for God’s glory?”
✔ Pray: “Lord, refine me as Your golden vessel for noble purposes.”

---

2. God’s Unconventional Methods: Case Studies

The devotional for today shares two examples of God using unlikely instruments:

1. Street Boys as Protectors:
   • Daddy Adeboye’s traffic ordeal → God used rough youths to intimidate corrupt police.
   • Principle: “The weak things confound the mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:27).
2. Cyrus as a Deliverer:
   • A pagan king fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 44:28) to free Israel.
   • Principle: “God’s purposes transcend human intentions” (Genesis 50:20).

Warning:

• Don’t mistake temporal usefulness for eternal approval (Matthew 7:22-23).

---

3. The Cost of Being a Vessel of Honor

Daddy Adeboye’s refusal to bribe police highlights non-negotiables for honorable vessels:

1. Integrity Over Convenience:
   • “I couldn’t pay a bribe” (Proverbs 15:27).
2. Trust in Divine Justice:
   • God defended him through unexpected means (Psalm 37:5-6).
3. Patience in Trials:
   • He waited (until 10 am) rather than compromise.

Modern Parallels:

• Workplace: Reject unethical shortcuts.
• Ministry: Avoid “success at any cost” mentality.

Action Step:
✔ Identify one area where you’re tempted to compromise. Stand firm today.

---

4. The Urgency of Surrender

Today’s devotional closes with a gospel appeal:

• Vessels of honor must be “cleansed” (born again) and “set apart” (sanctified)—2 Timothy 2:21.
• Hell awaits vessels of dishonor who reject Christ (John 3:36).

Invitation:
“If you’re unsaved, surrender now. If saved, pursue holiness relentlessly!”

---

Final Thought: Your Life as a Divine Instrument

God is searching for willing vessels (Isaiah 6:8). Will you be:

• A golden vessel that carries His presence?
• Or a clay pot cracked by sin and destined for destruction?

“You were created for honor. Don’t settle for temporary usefulness—aim for eternal impact!”

Prayer of Consecration:
“Father, cleanse me from all dishonor. Mold me into a vessel fit for Your glory, that I may shine as gold in Your house forever. Amen.”

MEMORISE
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that l arose a mother in Israel.
Judges 5:7

READ: Proverbs 1:8-9
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 30 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

Typically, children tend to respect and even fear their fathers more than their mothers because men are generally considered stronger and sterner. A mother may not be as physically strong as a father, but she has immense strength in other areas.

I usually say that I am where I am today because of God’s grace and my mother’s prayers. Whenever I did something that impressed her, she would say, “You will call one fellow, and 100 will answer.” What she meant was, ‘You will be very influential.’ Today, God has blessed me with great influence over many people across the world. When a mother is happy with a child, whatever she deeply desires and prays over the child will come to pass.

Beloved, Ephesians 6:2-3 instructs you to honour your father and mother (not just your father alone) so that you can enjoy tremendous blessings. These days, many children don’t even pick up their parents’ calls.

If you have parents, you must be intentional about honouring them because it is a prerequisite for God’s blessings and long life.

When I was younger, my mother would instruct me to stay back at home to study while other children in the neighbourhood were out playing. Thank God I obeyed her.

Studying my books helped me to ignore many distractions and achieve great things in life. In appreciation, I took good care of her before she passed away. I made sure that I saw her at least once every two weeks so that she wouldn’t miss me so much. If your mother is still alive, or if you have mother figures in your life, ensure that you always honour them by being obedient and caring towards them.

If you are a mother, your role in deciding your children’s future is very important. You must ensure that they are disciplined and focused on fulfilling God’s will for their lives. Don’t pamper them; train them diligently. Don’t prioritise making money or partying over spending quality time with them. Also, be willing to make sacrifices to help them grow up in wisdom, strength, and the way of the Lord.

I pray that God will bless all mothers with the strength and courage to nurture their children the right way. If you’re married and are seeking God’s face for the fruit of the womb, I decree that by this time next year, you will be carrying your baby, in Jesus’ name.

ACTION POINT

Get a special gift for your mother or the mother figure in your life today in celebration of Mother’s Day.

1. The Unique Strength of a Mother’s Influence

The Open Heaven devotional for today begins by contrasting parental roles:

• Fathers often command respect through strength and sternness.
• Mothers wield spiritual and emotional strength—especially through prayer and prophetic words.

Personal Testimony (Daddy Adeboye’s Story):

• His mother’s declaration: “You will call one fellow, and 100 will answer” shaped his global influence.
• Principle: A mother’s words carry divine weight when aligned with God’s will (Proverbs 18:21).

Biblical Examples:

• Hannah (1 Samuel 1:27-28): Prayed Samuel into destiny.
• Mary (John 2:5): Her counsel prompted Jesus’ first miracle.

Application:
✔ Mothers: Speak life over your children (e.g., “You will serve God mightily!”).
✔ Children: Treasure your mother’s prayers and wisdom.

---

2. The Command to Honor Parents

Ephesians 6:2-3 ties long life and prosperity to honoring both parents. The devotional laments modern trends:

• Disrespect: Ignoring parents’ calls or needs.
• Disobedience: Rejecting their guidance (like Adeboye’s childhood peers who prioritized play over study).

Warning:

• Dishonoring parents invites curses (Proverbs 20:20) and missed blessings (Malachi 4:6).

Action Steps:
✔ Call/visit parents regularly (1 Timothy 5:4).
✔ Fulfill Proverbs 23:22: “Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.”

---

3. A Mother’s Sacred Responsibility

Today’s Open Heaven devotional charges mothers to:

1. Prioritize Discipline Over Pampering
   • “Train up a child…” (Proverbs 22:6) requires correction (Hebrews 12:11).
2. Sacrifice for Spiritual Growth
   • Like Moses’ mother (Exodus 2:1-10), invest time over money.
3. Model Godliness
   • Lois and Eunice (2 Timothy 1:5) passed faith to Timothy.

To Mothers:
“Your tears, prayers, and tough love shape destinies. Don’t grow weary!”

---

4. Prophetic Declarations for Families

1. For Mothers:
   • “God will strengthen you to raise godly children” (Isaiah 40:29).
2. For Children:
   • “Your obedience unlocks generational blessings” (Deuteronomy 5:16).
3. For Barren Women:
   • “By next year, you will hold your baby” (Psalm 113:9).

Prayer:
“Lord, make me a channel of Your love and truth in my family. Heal broken parent-child relationships today!”

---

Final Thought: Mothers Are Kingdom Builders

Deborah (Judges 5:7) arose as a “mother in Israel” to deliver a nation. Likewise:

• Your prayers can shift nations.
• Your children are your greatest legacy.

“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”

Call to Action:

1. Mothers: Pray fervently for your children’s destiny.
2. Children: Write a gratitude letter or send a gift to your mom this week.
3. All: Repent for dishonoring parents; restore broken bonds.

“A godly mother’s influence outlives her—nurture it prayerfully!”

Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Jeremiah 1:8

READ: Jeremiah 1:4-10
4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lordsaid unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

Many believers fail to share the gospel because of fear. The key to overcoming this, however, is to ask God for boldness and wisdom for each unique occasion.

I recall a time I flew first class because someone gifted me the ticket. I sat next to a man who I could tell was very rich from his appearance. I really wanted to tell him about Jesus, but I was afraid he wouldn’t listen because he would think that he was above such things. Therefore, I decided to go about it with wisdom. I said, “Sir, l’d love to introduce you to my Daddy.” He asked, “Who is your Daddy?” “My Daddy is a great chief.

He’s into oil and gas, and He does some silver, gold, and diamonds. He also has a big farm with thousands of cattle,” I replied. Then he asked, “How come I don’t know him? What’s your father’s name?” I knew that if I said Jesus at that stage, I might lose Him, so I said,

“My Father’s name is Chief Emmanuel.” That got his attention, and I was able to share the gospel with him.

When God called young Jeremiah to preach to the rebellious children of Israel, He instructed him not to be afraid of their faces. The same God is with you when you go out to tell others about Jesus’ love. He has given you His Spirit to teach you what to say, just as He taught me on that flight.

No matter how tough-faced or uninterested people may look, don’t look at their faces; focus on the One who sent you and deliver His message to them.

An adage in Yorubaland says that you shouldn’t fear the one you are delivering a message to but the one who sent you to deliver the message.

Don’t allow the fear of men prevent you from preaching the gospel. Keep your eyes on God, do as He has commanded all believers (Matthew 28:18-19), and leave the conviction and conversion to Him.

Once God is with you, nothing else matters. He’ll teach you what to say and how to say it. Preaching the gospel is not about how excellently you can speak and quote the Scriptures but the demonstration of the Spirit and of power (1 Corinthians 2:4).

Beloved, surrender your life to Jesus today if you haven’t; He is the only way to salvation. If you have surrendered your life to Him, ensure you share the gospel with others; don’t be afraid of their faces.

ACTION POINT

Tell someone about the love of Jesus today

1. The Paralysis of Fear in Evangelism

Open Heaven devotional for today opens by addressing a common struggle among believers: fear of sharing the gospel. This fear often stems from:

• Intimidation by status (e.g., the rich man on the plane).
• Fear of rejection (John 15:18 – “The world hates you”).
• Self-doubt (“Am I eloquent enough?”).

God’s Response to Fear:

• To Jeremiah: “Do not be afraid of their faces” (v. 8).
• To us: “I am with you” (Matthew 28:20).

Key Insight:

• Fear shifts focus from God’s power to human reactions.

Application:
✔ Pray for boldness (Acts 4:29) and wisdom (Colossians 4:5-6) before witnessing.

---

2. Divine Strategies for Effective Witnessing

Pastor Adeboye’s testimony illustrates tactful evangelism:

1. Hook Their Interest:
   • He described God as a “Chief” with vast resources – language the rich man understood.
2. Avoid Immediate Jargon:
   • Delayed mentioning “Jesus” until trust was built.
3. Rely on the Spirit’s Prompting:
   • “He will teach you what to say” (Luke 12:12).

Biblical Parallel:

• Paul in Athens (Acts 17:22-23): Used the “Unknown God” altar to introduce Christ.

Action Step:
✔ Study your audience (e.g., their values, fears) to tailor your approach.

---

3. The Foundation: God’s Presence and Power

Jeremiah’s call reminds us:

• God equips those He sends (Jeremiah 1:7-9).
• Success depends on His Spirit, not our eloquence (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).

Modern Application:

• Social media evangelism: Let God guide your posts.
• Workplace witness: Live Christ first, then speak (1 Peter 3:15-16).

Warning:

• Avoid deception (like Adeboye’s “Chief Emmanuel” tactic). Balance wisdom with truth.

---

4. The Yoruba Proverb: Fear the Sender, Not the Receiver

The devotional cites a profound African wisdom:

• “Fear the message-sender (God) more than the hearer.”
• Biblical support: Matthew 10:28 – “Fear Him who can destroy soul and body in hell.”

Implication:

• Obedience > Outcomes. Our job is to share; results are God’s (1 Corinthians 3:6).

Prayer:
“Lord, help me fear displeasing You more than man’s rejection.”

---

5. The Call to Action: Share Without Delay

Today’s devotional urges:

1. New Believers: “Surrender to Jesus today.”
2. Mature Believers: “Don’t withhold the gospel.”

Motivation:

• Eternity is at stake (Romans 10:14).
• Angels rejoice over one conversion (Luke 15:10).

Practical Tips:

• Start with your testimony (Mark 5:19).
• Use tracts or apps for shy believers.

---

Final Thought: Your Words Carry Divine Authority

Like Jeremiah, you’re appointed (Jeremiah 1:5) and anointed (v. 9) to speak for God.

“The same Spirit who empowered Peter at Pentecost lives in you!”

Prayer of Commission:
“Father, clothe me with boldness today. Lead me to one soul needing Your love, and give me the words to win them, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

“Souls are waiting for your courage. Speak and watch God work!”

When I say that God is king, I mean that He is King over all earthly kings. No matter how powerful a king is and no matter how much he has achieved, God is greater than him. In Daniel 4:1-37, Nebuchadnezzar thought that he could take the glory that belonged to God. God made him eat grass for seven years, and when he came back to his senses, he said, “God is the Almighty.”

If you are a king in your own right, whether in your organisation, family, state, or wherever, your reign is only temporary. You should submit to the One who is King forever if you want to have a good and memorable reign. David submitted to God. and uo until today. Israel still recognises him as their greatest king ever.

Many years ago, I was invited to dedicate the RCCG national headquarters in a particular country, and I gave the church leaders a date in my calendar. In that country, government permits are required before hosting dedication ceremonies, so the church applied for a permit.

However, a man in the government was determined to stop the dedication. He said. “I have heard about this church. You plan to convert everyone and build churches everywhere; that will not work here.” The church leaders called me to report the situation, and to be honest, l didn’t even pray about it.

The day the man was to attend a meeting to conclude that the dedication wouldn’t be allowed to take place, he accidentally put both of his legs into the same trouser hole as he was dressing up. He struggled to free his legs until he fell and was rushed to the hospital. He eventually died with both of his legs still in the same trouser hole.

Nobody possesses greater power than God; when me decides to do something, Its better to cooperate with Him because He cannot be stopped.

Jesus is King forever, and all power belongs to Him. All souls are His (Ezekiel 18:4), including yours, and He wants you to surrender what belongs to Him. You belong to the King, and it is a blessed thing to belong to Him because you will automatically have access to all that He has.

KEY POINT

There is only one King who reigns forever: King Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

1. The Unshakable Throne of God

Open Heaven devotional for today begins by declaring God’s eternal, uncontested kingship:

• No one can dethrone Him (Revelation 12:9 – Satan’s failed rebellion).
• Earthly kings rise and fall, but His reign is perpetual (Daniel 4:34-35).

Key Insight:

• Human authority is derived and temporary (John 19:11 – Pilate’s power was “given from above”).
• Nebuchadnezzar’s humbling (Daniel 4:30-33) proves: “Pride precedes a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

Application:
✔ Leaders: Serve with humility—you’re a steward, not a sovereign.
✔ Believers: Trust God’s supremacy over oppressive systems.

---

2. The Futility of Resisting God’s Will

Today’s devotional shares a striking testimony:

• A government official opposed a church dedication → Died tragically mid-resistance.
• Principle: “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

Biblical Parallels:

• Pharaoh (Exodus 5-14): His defiance led to Egypt’s ruin.
• Herod (Acts 12:21-23): Struck dead for accepting worship.

Warning:

• Opposing God’s work invites judgment (Matthew 12:30 – “Whoever is not with Me is against Me”).
• Cooperation with God brings blessing (Acts 5:38-39 – Gamaliel’s counsel).

Prayer:
“Lord, reveal areas where I resist Your will. Align me with Your purposes, in Jesus’ name.”

---

3. The Privilege of Belonging to the King

The devotional shifts to a tender truth:

• “All souls are His” (Ezekiel 18:4) → You are God’s treasured possession (Deuteronomy 7:6).
• Surrender grants access to His resources (Romans 8:17 – “Heirs of God”).

Key Implications:

1. Identity: You’re a royal subject (1 Peter 2:9) under divine protection.
2. Provision: The King supplies needs (Philippians 4:19).
3. Authority: Delegated power to advance His kingdom (Matthew 28:18-20).

Action Step:
✔ Daily declare: “I belong to the King of kings—His plans for me are good!”

---

4. David’s Model: Submission to the True King

David’s legacy (Acts 13:22) teaches:

• Success comes from acknowledging God’s supremacy (Psalm 20:7).
• Earthly reign flourishes under heavenly authority (2 Samuel 5:12).

Modern Application:

• Parents: Lead your home under God’s lordship.
• Workers: Serve your employer as unto Christ (Colossians 3:23).

---

5. The Call to Total Surrender

The devotional for today closes with an invitation:

• “You belong to the King”. Yield fully to His rule.
• Promise: “Access to all He has” (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

Altar Call:
“Lord, I surrender every area of my life – my will, relationships, and ambitions – to Your kingship. Reign in me forever!”

---

Final Thought: The Blessedness of Divine Citizenship

In a world of temporary powers, you’re enrolled in an unshakable kingdom (Hebrews 12:28).

“The government official’s tragic end warns us: No one thwarts God’s plans. His church will prevail!”

Prayer of Alignment:
“Eternal King, dethrone every idol in my heart. Rule me completely, that my life may display Your glory. Amen.”

“Your highest safety and success lie in bowing to the One who cannot be overthrown!”

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

From my little walk with God in the last 51 years that I have been born again, I have observed that God specialises in bringing something out of nothing. When it seems like there’s no way to solve a problem, He makes a way where there is no way, like He did for the Israelites in Exodus 14:21-22.

In Exodus 16:11-17, when the children of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land, God rained down readymade food from heaven. Because they had never seen or tasted anything like it before, they called it ‘manna’.

In Numbers 11:1-32, when they were tired of eating only manna and wanted to eat meat, Moses cried to God on their behalf, and God told him there would be meat the next day.

As great as Moses’ faith was, he found it hard to believe there could be enough meat for all the Israelites within one day. By the next day, God had provided heaps of quails for them. One day, there was no meat, and the next day, there was an abundance. That is my God; He specialises in bringing something out of nothing. This is why you must never underestimate Him.

In 2 Kings 7:1-16, a city was experiencing a severe famine, and God spoke through His prophet that within 24 hours, there would be so much food that nobody would want to buy. There was a top government official who said it was impossible; he saw it come to pass, but he died before he could partake of the miracle.

It doesn’t matter how hopeless a situation is; just bring God into the equation, and He will bring something out of nothing.

A woman once asked me to pray for her child, who was dumb and had never spoken since birth. I laid my hand on the child and said, “In the name of Jesus,” and the child said, “Amen!” I had not even prayed yet, and God caused the child who had never spoken before to speak. He put a voice where there was none; I was so amazed, I almost jumped out of the window.

I pray for you today; in those areas where the enemy has caused emptiness, barrenness, and stagnation, the Great I Am will cause something good and beautiful to come out of them.

God specialises in creating magnificent things out of dark and empty places like He did in Genesis 1:1-3. Every nothingness in your life will turn into something bright and beautiful today, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, please turn every nothingness in my life to something bright and beautiful today, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 27 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

The devotional for today highlights God’s ability to create abundance out of nothingness. A recurring theme throughout Scripture. It calls believers to radical faith in the God who speaks light into darkness, provision into famine, and miracles into hopelessness. Let’s break it down.

---

1. God’s Creative Power Over Nothingness (Genesis 1:2-3, Isaiah 43:15-16)

The Open Heaven devotional begins with Genesis 1:2-3, where God speaks order into chaos, light into darkness. This establishes a foundational truth:

• God specializes in the impossible. He doesn’t need pre-existing materials to work.
• His Word is creative (Hebrews 11:3). What He declares becomes reality.
• He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If He did it in Genesis, He can do it in your life.

Key Lesson: Your situation may look formless and void, but God’s word can turn it around.

---

2. Biblical Proofs of God’s Sudden Provision

Daddy Adeboye references three major miracles where God brought something out of nothing:

A. The Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22)

• Problem: No escape, trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the sea.
• God’s Solution: He made a road in the wilderness (Isaiah 43:16).
• Application: Your “Red Sea” is not a dead end. It’s a setup for divine intervention.

B. Manna and Quail (Exodus 16, Numbers 11)

• Problem: No food in the desert.
• God’s Solution: He rained bread from heaven and brought quail from nowhere.
• Key Insight: Even when Moses doubted (Numbers 11:21-22), God still provided.
• Application: Don’t limit God with human logic. He can suddenly supply what you need.

C. The Siege of Samaria (2 Kings 7:1-16)

• Problem: Famine so severe people resorted to cannibalism (2 Kings 6:28-29).
• God’s Solution: In 24 hours, He turned scarcity into surplus.
• Warning: The official who doubted saw the miracle but died before tasting it (v. 19-20).
• Application: Unbelief disqualifies us from miracles. Walk in faith!

---

3. The Testimony of the Dumb Child Speaking

Daddy Adeboye shares a personal miracle:

• Problem: A child born mute, never spoke.
• God’s Solution: At the name of Jesus, the child said “Amen!” before prayer was even completed.
• Key Truth: Jesus is the Word (John 1:1) when He speaks, dead things come alive.

Application:

• No condition is beyond His power (Luke 1:37).
• Sometimes, miracles happen instantly. Be expectant!

---

4. Prophetic Declaration Over Your Life

The Open Heaven devotional ends with a faith-filled decree:

“Every nothingness in your life will turn into something bright and beautiful today, in Jesus’ name.”

This is based on:

• God’s nature. He loves to glorify Himself in impossible situations (John 9:3).
• Our position in Christ. We are “more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37).
• The power of agreement. When we declare His Word, He confirms it (Mark 11:23).

Prayer Response:
“Father, I bring every area of emptiness, barrenness, and stagnation to You. Just as You spoke light into darkness, speak life into my situation. I believe You are turning my nothingness into something glorious. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”

---

Final Exhortation: Stand in Faith

Today’s devotional is a call to trust “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” (Romans 4:17):

1. Remember His past miracles. What He did for Israel, He can do for you.
2. Reject doubt. Like the official in 2 Kings 7, unbelief can rob you of miracles.
3. Release faith. God’s word is powerful. Speak it in every situation.
4. Rejoice in advance. Your turnaround is coming suddenly (Isaiah 60:22).

Hold on. Your miracle is on the way!

TOPIC: MIGHTY IN BATTLE

MEMORISE
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Psalm 24:8

READ: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30
It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,

6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
13 And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 26 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

In Psalm 24:7-10, God is described as the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, and the Lord of hosts. In Psalm 107:20, the Bible says that He sent His word to deliver the Israelites from their troubles. It doesn’t matter how big the opposition you are facing is, the One who is mighty in battle will give you a great victory.

Jesus said in John 14:6 that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In John 8:32, He said that you shall know the truth, and it shall make you free. If you are facing an enemy that appears to be greater than you, my advice is that you surrender your life completely to Jesus now.

Once He makes you free, you are free indeed, and no one can oppress you again. In Luke 11:21-22, He said that the only way anyone can steal the goods of a strong man is if he or she is stronger. Since there is no one stronger than God, once you are surrendered to Him and have become His child, no one can take you from Him. This is why Jesus said in John 10:29:

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

In today’s Bible reading, when Jehoshaphat was attacked on every side by the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir, he called on the One who is mighty in battle. The instruction he received was, “Just praise me,” and he obeyed. He and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah fell before the Mighty Man in battle in worship. Nobody escaped after the Mighty Man in battle set Jehoshaphat’s enemies against one another.

All Jehoshaphat and his men had to do was gather abundant spoils because the Lord made them rejoice over their enemies. I decree today that any gang or group that comes to attack you will help to utterly destroy one another; the Mighty One in battle will set your enemies against themselves, in Jesus’ name. In the name above every other name, none of your enemies will escape the sword of the Mighty One in battle.

Beloved, surrender totally to Jesus today if you are yet to do so. He is the Almighty, and He never loses a war. When you surrender, you give Him room to fight your battles for you, just as He fought Jehoshaphat’s and gave him victory.

PRAYER POINT

Mighty One in battle, I surrender to You today. Please fight all my battles for me, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME

---

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 26 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional centers on God’s supremacy in battle – His unmatched power to fight for His people and secure victory in impossible situations. Let’s break it down.

---

1. The Lord Strong and Mighty (Psalm 24:8, 2 Chronicles 20:1-30)

The opening verse (Psalm 24:8) declares God as “the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.” This is not just poetic language. It is a revelation of His nature. Unlike human warriors, God never loses a fight.

• He is the King of Glory. His presence alone shakes the forces of darkness (Psalm 24:7-10).
• He is the Lord of Hosts (Yahweh Sabaoth). Commander of angelic armies (1 Samuel 17:45).
• He does not just assist in battle- He is the battle itself (Exodus 14:14).

When facing overwhelming opposition, remind yourself: “This battle is not mine, but God’s” (2 Chronicles 20:15).

---

2. Surrender as the Key to Victory (John 14:6, John 8:32, John 10:29)

The Open Heaven devotional emphasizes total surrender to Jesus as the foundation for divine intervention.

• Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life (John 14:6). Victory begins with submitting to His lordship.
• Truth brings freedom (John 8:32). Many battles are spiritual strongholds; only Christ’s truth breaks chains.
• No one can snatch you from God (John 10:29). Once you belong to Him, no enemy can claim ultimate authority over you.

Just as a soldier under a mighty general need not fear defeat, a believer under Jehovah Nissi (The Lord Our Banner, Exodus 17:15) cannot be conquered.

If you’re facing oppression, ask: “Have I fully surrendered this battle to Christ?”

---

3. The Jehoshaphat Strategy: Worship as Warfare (2 Chronicles 20:1-30)

The story of Jehoshaphat provides a kingdom blueprint for victory:

1. Recognize the impossibility (v. 12). He admitted, “We have no power… nor do we know what to do.”
2. Seek God’s presence, not just His help (v. 3-4). Fasting and prayer preceded the breakthrough.
3. Obey unconventional instructions (v. 21). God said, “Praise Me,” and they worshipped before the fight was won.
4. Watch God fight for you (v. 22-23). The enemies turned on each other.
5. Reap the spoils (v. 25). Their obedience led to overwhelming abundance.

Key Lesson: Praise is a weapon. When you magnify God above your crisis, He dismantles the enemy’s strategy.

In your battles, replace panic with praise. Declare God’s greatness even before the victory is visible.

---

4. The Decree: Enemies Will Self-Destruct

The devotional for today ends with a prophetic declaration:

“Any gang or group that comes to attack you will help to utterly destroy one another.”

This is a kingdom authority based on:

• Divine reversal (Esther 9:1 – The Jews’ enemies were destroyed by their own plans).
• God’s judicial confusion (Judges 7:22 – Midianites killed each other).
• The blood covenant (Exodus 12:23 – The destroyer passed over God’s people).

Faith Response: Stand on Psalm 91:7 – “A thousand may fall at your side, but it will not come near you.”

---

Final Exhortation: Total Dependence on Christ

“Surrender totally to Jesus”. It is the ultimate key.

• Human strength fails; divine strength never does (Zechariah 4:6).
• God’s victories often require our stillness (Psalm 46:10).
• Your testimony is waiting on the other side of obedience (Revelation 12:11).

Prayer Focus:
“Lord, I surrender every battle to You. You are the Mighty One in battle—fight for me as I worship You. Let my enemies scatter, and let my life glorify Your name. Amen.”

---

Conclusion

This devotional is a battle cry for believers:

1. Acknowledge God’s supremacy over every force.
2. Surrender completely. He cannot lose.
3. Fight with praise, not fear.
4. Expect divine intervention, your enemies will not escape.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14)

Stand firm. The King of Glory is on your side. Hallelujah!

TOPIC: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

MEMORISE
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalm 103:3

READ: Luke 4:37-40
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

---

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

God is the Great Physician. In Exodus 15:26, He said, “…I am the Lord that healeth thee.” The Bible says that He sent His word and healed them (Psalm 107:20). He is the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27).

Some diseases are termed incurable, but for God, no disease is incurable. Even if a damaged body part is deemed irreparable, He can replace it. While earthly physicians refer cases to each other when they cannot handle them, the Great Physician never refers a case – He is a specialist in all fields of medicine.

Years ago, a wealthy chief, who became paralysed from the waist downwards, was taken to the best hospital in London. After trying their best and he didn’t get better, the doctors gave up. To prove the hopelessness of his case, the head surgeon drove a long pin through the chief’s thigh, and when the latter felt no pain, he told him, “Go home, stop wasting your money, you will never walk again.”

The chief was taken back home, and a young girl, who is a member of RCCG, witnessed to him and said, “If you can get to my G.O., you will walk again.” The chief was brought to Redemption City, and because he had a big stature, six hefty men had to carry him into my living room. I told him my God can change the doctors’ report and that if he surrendered his life to Jesus, things would change. He surrendered his life to Jesus, we prayed, and he walked back to his car!

What renowned medical specialists termed impossible took God only a few seconds to do!

I have seen God turn hopeless cases into great testimonies. Thave seen Him step into sorrowful rooms as a result of the death of loved ones and turn them into places of joy and laughter. I have seen Him do the impossible, and your case will not be different; just believe in Him because all things are possible to him that believes (Mark 9:23). He turned around the 12-year-old case of the woman with the issue of blood in a second (Luke 8:44). Lazarus’ four-day-old dead body didn’t take him hours to resurrect (John 11:43-44). The man at the pool of Bethesda with the 38-year-old infirmity received instant healing (John 5:1-9).

If you have any sicknesses or diseases in your body, I pray that the Great Physician will step in and turn things around immediately, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT

There is no hopeless case with the Great Physician.

HYMN 25: THE GREAT PHYSICIANS NOW IS NEAR

---

OPEN HEAVEN 25 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional centers on God’s sovereignty as the Great Physician – the ultimate healer who transcends human limitations. Let’s break down its key themes and applications for a mature Christian’s understanding.

1. God’s Authority Over All Sickness (Psalm 103:3, Exodus 15:26)

The Open Heaven devotional for today opens with a foundational truth: God is the source of all healing. Unlike human doctors, whose knowledge and abilities are limited, God’s power is infinite (Jeremiah 32:27). The Bible repeatedly affirms that He is Jehovah Rapha—”the Lord who heals.” This means:

• No disease is beyond His ability to cure.
• Even when medical science declares a case hopeless, God can reverse it.
• Healing is not just physical but holistic—spiritual, emotional, and relational.

2. The Limitations of Human Medicine vs. God’s Omnipotence (Luke 4:37-40)

The story of the paralyzed chief illustrates a stark contrast:

• Human expertise has boundaries—the best doctors in London declared his condition irreversible.
• God specializes in the impossible—what man calls “incurable,” God calls an opportunity for a miracle.
• Faith activates divine intervention—the chief’s surrender to Christ opened the door for his healing.

This aligns with Jesus’ ministry in Luke 4, where He healed all who came to Him, proving that no sickness resists His authority.

3. Biblical Precedents of Instantaneous Miracles (Luke 8:44, John 5:1-9, John 11:43-44)

The devotional for today references several biblical miracles to reinforce that:

• Time is irrelevant to God—whether an illness lasted 12 years (the woman with the issue of blood) or 38 years (the man at Bethesda), healing came in a moment.
• Death is not a barrier—Lazarus’ resurrection after four days proves God’s power even over irreversible conditions.
• Faith is the key—Jesus often linked miracles to belief (Mark 9:23).

4. Personal Application: Trusting God in Hopeless Situations

For believers, this is a call to:

• Reject despair– no matter how long you’ve suffered, God can intervene suddenly.
• Embrace faith – like the chief, surrender fully to Christ and trust His power.
• Expect testimonies – just as the Daddy E.A. Adeboye has witnessed miracles, your case can also become a praise report.

Final Thought

While we thank God for medical advancements, we must never elevate them above divine power. The Great Physician never refers a case because He has no limitations. Your healing may come through medicine, miracles, or even in eternity – but one thing is certain: God is able. Stand on His Word, hold fast to faith, and watch Him turn your impossibility into a testimony.

“But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” (Matthew 19:26)

May today’s devotional guide strengthen your faith and remind you that nothing is too hard for the Lord!

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: CONSTANT vs VARIABLES III

MEMORISE
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17

READ: Genesis 8:22
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

As conclude my discussion on constants and variables, I will attempt to describe them as a mathematician. In mathematics, constants are numbers or quantities that remain at a fixed value throughout a given discussion, while variables are unstable and are dependent on other factors. God is the only consistent constant throughout eternity, and with Him, there is no variableness or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

Having discussed His word as one of His constant qualities yesterday, I will identify and explore three more absolute constants about Him, and these are: His principles, His love, and His mercy.

God’s principles are His ways of doing things. and they are constant. They are His standards, and they can never change. One of God’s principles for marriage is that it is honourable unto all, and the bed should be undefiled before marriage (Hebrews 13:4). If He says that people should get married before they have sex, that principle remains, it will not change because the world has changed or because government laws have changed to accommodate immorality. God’s principles remain firm and constant now and always.

Another principle of marriage is that it is between a man and a woman, and from the first couple and throughout the bible, we see God maintain this standard. God’s principle is that a man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife (Genesis 2:24). Likewise, God’s principle of sowing and reaping remains constant.

Anyone who applies this principle will reap its harvest. God has principles for every aspect of life, and anyone who wants to enjoy His full blessings must learn to live by His principles. His foundation is sure, but you must depart from iniquity to partake of His blessings (2 Timothy 2:19).

God’s mercy and steadfast love are constant.

For example, because of His constant love and mercy towards man, He does not want anyone to perish (1 Timothy 2:4). God’s love for you is constant (1 Corinthians 13:8). His steadfast love never ceases, and His mercies never come to an end – they are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). If you experienced an overload of mercy yesterday, expect a fresh dose today because God gives new mercies every morning – He daily loads His beloved with benefits (Psalm 68:19).

Beloved, God is an absolute constant and you can totally rely on Him. Trust Him with all your heart, and He will be an anchor for your soul in the midst of life’s uncertainties (Hebrews 6:19).

KEY POINT

Everything may fail and change, but God’s principles and steadfast love stand sure.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

Today’s devotional offers a profound reflection on the unchanging nature of God, drawing a parallel between mathematical constants and the divine attributes of God. Let’s break it down.

1. Memorise: James 1:17

The verse states, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” This foundational truth reminds us that God is immutable – He does not change. His nature, character, and promises remain constant, unlike the shifting circumstances of our lives. This verse anchors the devotional, emphasizing that God is the ultimate “constant” in a world filled with variables.

2. Bible Reading: Genesis 8:22

This verse highlights God’s faithfulness in maintaining the natural order: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” Here, God establishes a constant rhythm in creation, reflecting His unchanging nature. Just as the seasons and cycles of life are dependable, so is God’s faithfulness.

3. God as the Ultimate Constant

The Open Heaven devotional for today uses the analogy of mathematical constants to illustrate God’s unchanging nature. In a world where variables—circumstances, emotions, relationships, and even societal norms—are unstable, God remains the same. This truth is a source of immense comfort and stability for believers. No matter what changes around us, we can rely on God’s unchanging character, promises, and principles.

4. God’s Principles Are Constant

The devotional for today identifies God’s principles as one of His unchanging attributes. These principles are His standards for life, rooted in His holiness and wisdom. For example, the principles of marriage—honor, fidelity, and the union of a man and a woman – are unchanging, regardless of cultural shifts or societal pressures. This challenges believers to align their lives with God’s standards, even when it contradicts the world’s values. Living by God’s principles ensures that we walk in His blessings and avoid the consequences of disobedience (2 Timothy 2:19).

5. God’s Love and Mercy Are Constant

The devotional emphasizes that God’s love and mercy are unwavering. His love is not conditional or fleeting; it is steadfast and eternal (1 Corinthians 13:8). His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), meaning that no matter how we fail or fall short, God’s compassion and forgiveness are always available to us. This is a powerful reminder of His grace, which sustains us daily.

The Open Heaven for today concludes with an exhortation to trust in God’s constancy. In a world filled with uncertainties, God is our anchor (Hebrews 6:19). We are encouraged to rely on Him completely, knowing that He will never fail us. This trust is not passive but active—it involves living by His principles, embracing His love, and receiving His mercy daily.

6. Practical Takeaways

1. Anchor Your Life in God’s Unchanging Nature
   When life feels unstable, remind yourself of God’s constancy. Meditate on Scriptures like James 1:17 and Hebrews 13:8 (“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”). Let these truths ground you in faith.
2. Align Your Life with God’s Principles
   Evaluate your choices and actions in light of God’s unchanging standards. Are you living in accordance with His Word, or are you being swayed by cultural trends? Commit to living a life that honors Him, even when it’s difficult.
3. Receive His Love and Mercy Daily
   No matter what you’ve done or what you’re facing, God’s love and mercy are available to you. Start each day by acknowledging His new mercies and thanking Him for His steadfast love.
4. Be a Reflection of God’s Constancy
   As a Christian, strive to reflect God’s unchanging nature in your relationships and interactions. Be a person of integrity, faithfulness, and love, pointing others to the constancy of God.

---

Conclusion

Today’s devotional beautifully reminds us that God is the only true constant in a world of variables. His principles, love, and mercy are unchanging, providing a firm foundation for our lives. As we trust in His constancy, we can navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence and peace. Let this truth inspire you to live a life rooted in His Word, guided by His principles, and sustained by His love and mercy.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: CONSTANT vs VARIABLES II

MEMORISE
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto l sent it.
Isaiah 55:11

READ: Hebrews 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

In a world of constantly changing laws and policies, God can be trusted to remain an absolute constant, as l discussed yesterday. His words, principles, and actions are consistent, and they can never change. When politicians campaign for political offices, they make numerous promises, some of which they often fail to fulfil. God is never like that; His promises are constant, and His deeds can be absolutely trusted.

Many things are constant about God; I will discuss one today – His word – and three more tomorrow. God’s word existed before the world began, and it will remain long after the earth passes away (John 1:1). If He makes you a promise and you play your part as He requires, no matter how long it takes, He will surely fulfil it.

One day, I was praying, and God said, “Son, presidents will come to the camp to worship.” At that time, it seemed impossible, but Daddy said it, and as far as l was concerned, it was settled already. Therefore, with faith, we built a presidential lodge immediately, and it was the biggest building in the camp (now Redemption City) back then.

Three years passed, and when no president came, some senior pastors said to me, “Daddy, you are our president. Why don’t you move into the presidential lodge?” They didn’t fully understand why we built the presidential lodge, and they felt that I wanted to live in a big house but didn’t know how to tell them.

I told them, “No! That’s not my house. It’s for presidents; they will come.” Of course, presidents have come and are still coming.

No matter how long it takes, God’s word and promises will come to pass.

According to today’s memory verse, the potency of God’s word is constant; no word that comes out of His mouth will return to Him void. This means that you can claim whatever you see in the Scriptures, and you will receive it if you believe. For example, Deuteronomy 28:13 says that you shall be the head and not the tail. If you believe this, then you will indeed be the head. 1 Peter 2:24 says that you have been healed by His stripes. If you believe this, then sickness has no place in your body.

Situations may vary, but God’s word is constant. No matter how bad a situation appears to be, God can turn it around for good because His word is living and powerful, and that will never change.

KEY POINT

Your situation is a variable, but God’s word is constant. His word never fails.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY

The Open Heaven devotional for today is a powerful reminder of the reliability and potency of God’s Word. It emphasizes that God’s promises are unchanging and that His Word is living, active, and able to accomplish His purposes. Let’s break it down:

1. MEMORISE: Isaiah 55:11

Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” This verse is a cornerstone of faith, affirming that God’s Word is never empty or ineffective. It always fulfills its purpose. This truth reassures us that when God speaks, His promises are guaranteed to come to pass, no matter how long it takes or how impossible it may seem.

---

2. BIBLE READING: Hebrews 4:12-13

This passage describes the power and precision of God’s Word. It says that “the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”This highlights several key truths about God’s Word:

• It is Alive: God’s Word is not static; it is dynamic and active in the lives of believers.
• It is Powerful: It has the ability to transform lives, bring healing, and fulfill God’s purposes.
• It is Discerning: It reveals the deepest thoughts and intentions of the heart, bringing conviction and clarity.

This passage reinforces the devotional’s message that God’s Word is constant, reliable, and capable of producing results.

---

3. The Unchanging Nature of God’s Word

Today’s devotional contrasts the inconsistency of human promises, such as those made by politicians, with the absolute reliability of God’s Word. Unlike humans, who often fail to fulfill their promises, God’s Word is constant and trustworthy. This is a powerful reminder that we can place our full confidence in God’s promises, knowing that He will never fail us.

The devotional also emphasizes that God’s Word existed before creation (John 1:1) and will endure forever. This eternal nature of God’s Word means that His promises are not limited by time or circumstances. If He has spoken a promise, it will come to pass, even if it takes years or seems impossible in the natural realm.

---

4. The Testimony of Faith

The author shares a personal testimony of how God spoke to him about presidents coming to worship at the camp. Despite the seeming impossibility of this promise, the author acted in faith by building a presidential lodge. For three years, there was no sign of presidents coming, and some questioned the decision. However, the author held on to God’s Word, and eventually, presidents began to come.

This testimony illustrates several important principles:

• Faith in God’s Word: The author believed God’s promise even when it seemed impossible.
• Patience and Perseverance: He waited for three years without giving up, trusting that God’s Word would come to pass.
• Obedience: He acted on God’s Word by building the lodge, demonstrating his faith through action.

This story encourages us to trust in God’s promises, even when we don’t see immediate results. It reminds us that God’s timing is perfect and that His Word will always come to pass.

---

5. The Potency of God’s Word

The devotional guide for today highlights the potency of God’s Word, as stated in Isaiah 55:11. It emphasizes that God’s Word is not just a collection of ancient texts but a living and powerful force that can transform lives and circumstances. The devotional encourages readers to claim the promises in Scripture, such as:

• Deuteronomy 28:13: “You shall be the head and not the tail.”
• 1 Peter 2:24: “By His stripes, you were healed.”

These promises are not just theoretical; they are practical and applicable to our lives. If we believe and act on them, we will see their fulfillment.

---

6. Key Message: Trust in God’s Word

The key message of the devotional is that God’s Word is constant, powerful, and trustworthy. It challenges us to:

• Believe in God’s Promises: No matter how impossible a situation may seem, God’s Word can turn it around.
• Act in Faith: Like the author, we are to act on God’s Word, even when it requires patience and perseverance.
• Claim Scripture: We are to take God’s promises personally and believe that they apply to our lives.

---

This devotional serves as both a reminder and a call to action:

• Reminder: God’s Word is unchanging and powerful. It is our ultimate source of truth and guidance in a world of uncertainty.
• Call to Action: We are to actively trust in God’s promises, claim them in faith, and act on them, even when the results are not immediately visible.

---

Conclusion

The Open Heaven for today is a powerful affirmation of the reliability and potency of God’s Word. It reminds us that God’s promises are constant and that His Word will always accomplish its purpose. Whether we are facing challenges, waiting for breakthroughs, or simply navigating the uncertainties of life, we can trust in God’s Word to guide us and fulfill His promises. Let us hold on to His Word with faith, patience, and obedience, knowing that it will never return void. As we do so, we will see His promises come to pass in our lives, bringing glory to His name
