DATE: WEDNESDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2026

TOPIC: PURIFY YOURSELF

MEMORIZE:

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."  James 4:8 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: NUMBERS 8:5-11

5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.

9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.

MESSAGE:

Many years ago, I attended a Pentecostal conference in Kenya, where several anointed and popular ministers in the Pentecostal movement at the time were present. Even though I was not invited, I attended anyway because I was so hungry for God. Towards the end of the conference, we had a session titled ‘meditation.’ During this session, someone played the guitar and sang choruses, while the rest of us prayed in the Spirit. I was meditating when suddenly, I was transported to heaven.

It was an open vision because I wasn’t sleeping. I found myself in a very large room, which looked like a dome. There was someone sitting on a throne extremely far away. Angels stood on both sides of the room, millions of them to my right, and millions of them to my left. They were quite huge, and their appearance is very difficult to describe. They were not white; there are just no words to describe them. The closest I can get to describing them is when you put clear water in a crystal glass; there is no word to describe that type of colour.

When I turned to the right, the angels to my right moved back; when I turned to the left, the angels to my left also moved back. None of them said a word, but it occurred to me to take a look at myself. When I did, I noticed that I was completely naked and was covered with all kinds of rubbish as if I had just been pulled out of a sewer. On noticing that, I understood why the angels moved away from me, and the vision vanished suddenly. After seeing that, I told the Almighty God, “When I return to that throne room, I won’t come dirty.” That is the reason holiness has become a priority to me.

Beloved, without holiness, no man can see God (Hebrews 12:14). If you are still living in sin, you cannot see God, and any man who cannot see God cannot have access to the good and perfect gifts that can only come from Him (James 1:17). Do not serve God with an impure heart. It is time to draw nearer to Him and ask Him to purify you from anything that might be preventing you from seeing Him. If you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13), and you will experience His goodness in all areas of your life.

REFLECTION:

Are you living a holy life and seeking God with all your heart?

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2026

TOPIC: GRATITUDE UNLOCKS MORE

MEMORIZE:

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." Colossians 3:15 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: LUKE 17:12-19 

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

MESSAGE:

God desires that we express gratitude to Him at all times. This appreciation and gratitude can be expressed through our prayers, praise, and worship. Psalm 100:4 says that we should come before His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. In today's Bible reading, Jesus healed 12 lepers, but only one came back to say 'Thank you.' Jesus then asked him, "Where are the other nine?"

The reason many people have not received greater miracles from God is that they have not said 'Thank you' for the ones He did for them before. When we were launching the first RCCG branch in Abuja, we held a three-day crusade. Before the crusade began, I was in a hotel, praying that God should perform miracles and that there should be a great outpouring of His presence at the crusade. Suddenly, God said, "Shut up." I was happy because even though that was a rebuke, I was sure that He could hear me. Then He said, "You keep commanding Me to do things for you. Am I your servant? Have you thanked Me for all the things I did in the past?" I apologised immediately and said, "Lord, I thank You for all You did in the past, but please do more." Again, He told me to stop. Then, He said, "For the next three days, I don't want to hear anything from you other than thanksgiving." It was challenging, but I did it anyway. At the end of the three days, the Lord said, "Son, go home, appoint elders, and let them go around to teach the doctrines of the church to strengthen its foundation, because what you have seen thus far is addition. What you are now about to see is multiplication." To the glory of God, RCCG has experienced multiplication in Abuja and, indeed, across the world.

Beloved, when you are full of gratitude for what God has done, He will do more like he did for the man who returned to say 'Thank you' in today's Bible reading. Please, do not be counted among the unthankful people of the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-2). If you think deeply, regardless of your situation, you will find several reasons to be thankful to God. Do not wait until the privileges you have taken for granted are taken away before you begin to thank God. He wants you to come before Him with a grateful heart at all times. 

ACTION POINT:

Spend time appreciating God every day. 

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

JOHN 5 - 6

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 18 - PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF CREATION

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the king of creation; O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation; all ye who hear, brothers and sister draw near, praise Him in glad adoration.

2. Praise to the Lord, who doth proper thy work and defend thee; surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee; ponder anew what the Almighty can do if with His love He befriend thee.

3. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempest their warfare are waging who, when the elements madly around Thee are ranging, biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace, whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

4. praise to the Lord, who when darkness and sin is abounding who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding, Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night, saints with His mercy surrounding.  

5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath come now with praises before Him! Let the amen sound from his people again; gladly for aye we adore him.

God bless you as you share.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: MONDAY 2ND NOVEMBER 2026

TOPIC: PRAISE THE LORD

MEMORIZE:

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

BIBLE READING: PSALM 67:5-7

5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

MESSAGE:

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

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

Another good example of God fighting on behalf of His children who praise Him is found in Acts 16:25-26:

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

I pray that God will fight for you, too, as you praise Him today, in Jesus' name.

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

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

KEY POINT:

Praise from a sanctified heart draws divine protection and blessings.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
