MEMORISE

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - (James 4:7)

READ: Ephesians 6:10-17 (KJV)

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

MESSAGE

Yesterday, I started sharing some secrets to longevity and how believers can stay the course in the path that God has set before them. Today, I will share another secret to longevity: knowing when to fight.

When you are confronted by the devil, you shouldn't run or hide; rather, you must stand and fight. The devil is not a gentle spirit; he tries to cheat his victims out of their rights, steal from them, kill them, and destroy them (John 10:10). Therefore, every time he raises his ugly head, you must resist him immediately and put him in his place with the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). Many people think that they can cohabit with the devil and enter into agreements with him. For instance, they might have a family tradition of making certain sacrifices to deities for protection, and they think that by keeping the traditions alive, the devil will leave them alone. However, this never works because the devil is a great deceiver, he is a big liar, and he is the father of lies (John 8:44). He is not someone to make deals with, which is why today's memory verse says that you should resist him so that he will flee from you. You should not partner with him or shake hands with him.

Today's Bible reading says that believers wrestle against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. It also says that believers must put on the whole armour of God, but you will notice that there is no piece of armour to protect our backs. This means that the moment a believer turns his or her back on the devil, he will attack the believer. Therefore, you should never turn your back to run away from him. For instance, if you perceive that the devil is trying to attack your marriage, simply calling a family meeting will not suffice because the Bible says in (2 Corinthians 10:3-4) that the weapons we have been given for warfare are not physical. Rather, you must send the devil packing out of your home by going against him with the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). Likewise, if you observe that some strange things are happening in the ministry that God has placed in your hands or that the devil is trying to attack your job or business, get up and fight! Never turn your back on the devil; he does not play fair. 

KEY POINT

Your response to the devil should never be to run and hide; rather, you must stand and fight.

TOPIC: SECRETS TO LONGEVITY 1

MEMORISE

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; - (Ecclesiastes 3:7)

READ: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (KJV)

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

MESSAGE

I am 84 years old, I have been born again for 53 years, and by God's grace, I have been the General Overseer of RCCG for 45 years. To the glory of God, I am still working tirelessly for my Daddy even at my age. I have remained a strong Christian, and the church has continued to grow by God's grace. Over the next few days, I will share some secrets about longevity with you and tell you how to remain on God's path for your life without going astray.

The first secret to longevity is knowing when to hide, when to fight, and when to run. Many Christians think that because they are in Christ, they never have to hide; after all, the One with all power is backing them up. This is why many believers have not stayed on the path that God has set before them and have ended their race prematurely. In (1 Kings 17:1), after Elijah told the king that there would be no rain until he commands it, it was God Himself who told him to go and hide. There will always be a time to hide if you are going to last long. Elijah had proclaimed himself as the only one who could bring the rain back, so naturally, I believe that there would have been a lot of pressure on him to command the rain to return. Therefore, rather than facing that pressure, he had to go into hiding.

Whenever you notice that there will be pressure on you to say certain things or take some actions prematurely or without specific instruction from God, you should go into hiding. For instance, no matter how pressured I feel to speak before elections in Nigeria or when something significant happens, I always keep silent if God has not yet spoken. This is why people still want to hear what I have to say after all these years, because they know that it will be from God.

Another time to hide is when brethren try to fight you. God never supports Christians fighting each other; rather, we are to love one another, which is what differentiates us from unbelievers (John 13:34-35). Therefore, to ensure that you do not get into fights with brethren who are trying to pick fights with you, don't respond to them; rather, go into hiding. May God give you the wisdom to hide yourself when required so that you can stay the course and fulfil His perfect will for your life. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the wisdom to know when to hide. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

1 Chronicles 17 - 19

HYMN 19 - ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labours of my hands, can fulfill thy law's demands could zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone, thou must save and thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee fir grace foul to the fountain fly wash me saviour or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM GOD TODAY?

MEMORISE

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: - (Deuteronomy 30:19)

READ: John 5:1-14 (KJV)

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

MESSAGE

Some people are so comfortable with their problems that they reject every form of help that comes their way. For example, one would have thought that Jesus would have immediately commanded the man who had been sick for 38 years in today's Bible reading to rise from his sickbed. However, the first thing Jesus asked him was, "Do you want to be made whole?" Jesus didn't assume that the man wanted to be healed; He first asked him if he wanted to be healed before healing him.

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. - (Luke 18:40-41)

In the Scripture above, Jesus heard a blind man crying out to Him for help. When He asked that the man be brought before Him, He didn't assume that he needed healing, even though he was obviously blind. He proceeded to ask him, "What do you want me to do for you?"

There was once a woman who was sick, and we prayed earnestly for her to get well. When she didn't get any better, we were surprised because we know that our God is the Great Physician. Therefore, we turned to Him and asked, "Father, what's wrong? Is there anything we should be doing that we are not?" Then, He replied, "You are praying for healing for this woman, but have you asked her if she wants to be healed?" I thought to myself, "Of course, every sick fellow wants to be well," but the Lord insisted that I ask her if she truly wanted to be healed. I did, and she responded, "No!" Surprised, I asked her why, and she replied, "When I was well, my husband always returned late from work. He would go from his workplace to a club. Since I became sick, he comes straight home to me as soon as he leaves his workplace. So, I don't want to be well!"

Beloved, God has set before you life and death, blessing and curses, prosperity and poverty, freedom and bondage; however, He will not force His gift of healing, life, or salvation on anyone. If you are dealing with sickness, poverty, or any other negative situation in your life, cry out to God today if you indeed want a miracle from Him. He will heed your cry and meet you at the point of your needs. 

ACTION POINT

Call on God today in the name of Jesus, and be specific about what you want Him to do for you.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2026.

TOPIC: THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD 2

MEMORISE

And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: - (Deuteronomy 26:8)

READ: Joshua 4:1-3, 21-24 (KJV)

Joshua 4:1-3 (KJV)

1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,

2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.

Joshua 4:21-24 (KJV)

21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.

MESSAGE

When God's mighty hand works in favour of a fellow, family, or nation, it always leads to great blessings and favour. His mighty hand also brings total deliverance to captives and freedom to the oppressed. In Exodus 3:19, God told Moses that Pharaoh would not release the Israelites unless a mighty hand forces him. So, when God's mighty hand was revealed, the children of Israel experienced preservation, protection, light, and provision. Egypt, on the other hand, became a shadow of itself. This shows that while God's mighty hand works for His people, it works against any force that dares to position itself against the Lord or His people.

...Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice...And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not... Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God... - (Exodus 8:17-19)

In the Scripture above, the magicians in Egypt, who had earlier replicated the same wonders as Moses, acknowledged that the finger of God was truly at work in his life because they could no longer perform the wonders that God was doing through him. Despite this, Pharaoh stubbornly refused to back down from his decision to not let the Israelites go. That was until God's mighty hand descended upon him and his people. I pray that anyone who stubbornly opposes you will be visited by the mighty hand of God, in Jesus' name.

In today's Bible reading, when the Israelites crossed River Jordan, God's mighty hand was at work. After they had crossed over, Joshua declared that indeed, God made a way through River Jordan and brought them to the other side on dry land to show all the people of the earth that His hand is mighty (Joshua 4:24). God's mighty hand makes a way for people where there seems to be no way. If you are indeed a child of God, rejoice because His mighty hand will ensure that all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28). However, if you are not a child of God or if you profess to be a Christian but are still living in sin, I beseech you to repent today so that you will not face the fury of the mighty hand of God. May God's mighty hand bring you victory upon victory and shield you from the enemy's attacks, in Jesus' name. 

KEY POINT

God's mighty hand works for the good of those who love Him and against those who oppose Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

1 Chronicles 10 - 12

HYMN 6 - CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE

1. Conquerors and overcomes 

now are we, Thro' the precious blood of Christ we've victory If the Lord be for us, we can never fail, Nothing 'gainst His mighty pow'r can e'er prevail. 

CHORUS 

Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus, 

God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus, 

Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain, Yet who lives and reigns again, More than conquerors are we, More than conquerors are we.

2. In the name of Israel's God we'll onward press,  Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness; Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be, For Salvation and for blood bought victory. 

3. Unto him that overcometh shall be given, Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav'n, Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear, And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.

God bless you as you share.
