Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 9TH 2026


TOPIC: DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE


MEMORISE:

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. - (Revelation 3:20)


BIBLE READING: LUKE 18:18-25 (KJV)


18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.


20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.


21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.


22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.


23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.


24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


MESSAGE:

Years ago, somewhere in Western Nigeria, there was a man who had become wealthy through evil means. However, God showed Him mercy by sending a preacher to tell him the Good News. The preacher told him that Jesus had paid for all his sins, regardless of how terrible they were, but the man refused the offer of salvation. He told the preacher, "Thank you; I've heard everything you said. My children can follow Jesus. As for me, it's too late." The preacher replied, "As long as you are still breathing, it's not too late." He, however, refused to be convinced, saying that he had spent most of his life with the devil and would like to end it with him. Unfortunately, he died a few weeks later, and in death, it is too late to repent. God offered him mercy, but he rejected it. If you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus, God is offering you mercy today; please do not refuse it.


In today's Bible reading, a rich young ruler came to Jesus because he knew that something was missing in his life. Apart from being rich, he also had a prominent position in society, yet he felt dissatisfied with his life. He wanted eternal life, so he came to Jesus with a simple but profound question, "What can I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 18:18). When Jesus told him that it was not enough to keep God's commandments and that he needed to let go of the idol in his life by selling all he had to follow Him, the man returned home sorrowful. Divine mercy was offered to him, but he refused to accept it because his riches mattered more to him than eternal life. God's mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), but He will never force anyone to accept it; it is a choice that everyone must make for themselves. Unfortunately, some people say that they will repent later. This is a dangerous position to take because no one knows the exact time Jesus will return (Luke 12:40), and as we see in Luke 12:20, God can demand their souls at any time.


Beloved, if you are still living in sin, I invite you today to call upon God while He can still be found; don't wait until it is impossible to do so (Isaiah 55:6). No matter how terrible your past has been, He is telling you today that He will wash them away and make you whiter than snow (Isaiah 1:18). Let Jesus into your heart today (Revelation 3:20) before it is too late. 


KEY POINT:

If you are yet to give your life to Christ, don't wait until it is too late. Accept His mercy today.

DATE: SUNDAY FEBRUARY 8TH 2026


TOPIC: OPEN UP TO HIM


MEMORISE:

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) - (2 Corinthians 6:2)


BIBLE READING: REVELATION 3:20-22 (KJV)


20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.


21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.


22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


MESSAGE:

James 4:7 says clearly that you should submit yourself unto God, then resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The devil cannot flee from you if you have not submitted totally to God. If you are not yet born again, Jesus Christ, the Light, wants to come into your life. He wants to give you a brand-new beginning, but He will not force Himself into your heart unless you open the door to Him voluntarily. He said in today's Bible reading that He is knocking on the door of your heart, and if you open up to Him, He will come in. If He keeps knocking on a person's heart and the person keeps refusing to open, a day will come when it will be too late for the person to open his or her heart to Him again. On that day, the person's heart will stop beating, and if Jesus is not already in it by then, no matter how much the person pleads, such a person will find himself or herself in hell, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is why I am appealing to you to open up your heart to Him now if you haven't done so yet.


Many people claim to have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, but they haven't truly submitted to Him as certain aspects of their lives are still ordered by their flesh. Many of such people go to church, while some are even church workers and ministers, but they are really not different from people in the world. When a person truly submits to the Lordship of Jesus, He becomes the supreme authority over such a fellow's life. Whatever He says is what the fellow must do.


Jesus is the Light, and He is the only one who can drive darkness out of a person's life. Darkness is sure to reign supreme in the lives of those who haven't opened up their hearts to Jesus, even if they claim to be Christians. When darkness reigns in a person's life, failure, defeat, sorrow, retrogression, and every evil thing will fill such a fellow's life. Can you truly say that Jesus, the Light, is in total control of your life?


Beloved, if you are yet to truly submit to Jesus Christ, He is knocking at the door of your heart. Open your heart to Him today, and He will give you a glorious hope for the future (1 Peter 1:3-5) 


REFLECTION:

Have you truly opened up to Jesus Christ, and is He in total control of your life?

TOPIC: MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOM 2


MEMORISE

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. - (Psalm 107:20)


READ: 2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (KJV)


16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.


17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.


18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.


MESSAGE


The devil is a thief, so when he visits a person or family, his agenda is to steal, kill, and destroy. Unlike the devil, Jesus has come so that you can enjoy abundant life (John 10:10). Today, I want to share some more ways a person who has been delivered from the devil's bondage can maintain his or her freedom and truly enjoy the abundant life that Jesus gives.


It is sad when someone who has been delivered by the mighty hand of God loses his or her liberty because of ignorance, carelessness, or foolishness. People perish when there is no knowledge (Hosea 4:6). They lose what they have received when they don't apply the divine principles that are required to sustain it. The Son sets free, and whoever the Son makes free is free indeed (John 8:36). God doesn't give temporary deliverance; He gives total freedom, but a fellow who has been set free must learn how to walk on the road of freedom.


(2 Corinthians 3:17) says that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Wherever the devil may be operating in, when the Spirit of the Lord comes on the scene, freedom comes. To sustain your freedom, however, you must allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in all you do. Let Him be Lord of your thoughts, words, and actions. Where He is Lord, no demon can thrive.


Knowing the truth is another way to maintain your liberty. John 8:32 says that you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you know the truth about Jesus' payment for your freedom? Are you walking in this truth? To keep walking in freedom, you must know the truth in God's word and immerse yourself in it so that it fills your heart. His word is the truth, and when you know the truth, it will make you free. This word must become your daily bread. Joshua 1:8 reveals that a major key to having good success in life is meditating on God's word day and night. To keep the devil perpetually out of your life, let God's word dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).


Job spoke about how highly he esteemed the word of God in Job 23:12. Beloved, how important is God's word to you? How highly do you esteem God's instructions and directions? If you want to sustain the liberty you have received from God, you must allow Jesus Christ to be your Lord and place topmost priority on God's word. 


KEY POINT

To maintain your freedom, you must know the truth, surrender to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, and meditate on God's word constantly.

TOPIC: MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOM 1


MEMORISE

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. - (Ephesians 5:11)


READ: John 5:5-14 (KJV)


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


When God proclaims deliverance, He is saying to the taskmaster, the devil, "Let your slaves go, and if you don't, I'll deal with you." The devil has no choice but to obey immediately. If you have suffered any form of satanic attack, whether oppression, repression, vexation, obsession, or possession, I decree that this is your season of total freedom. In the name above all other names, begin to walk in freedom.


Today, I want to discuss some ways a fellow can remain delivered from the devil's attacks and continue to walk in freedom. Although deliverance from satanic bondage doesn't require any monetary payment, it comes at a cost. The first price a fellow must pay to walk in freedom is total surrender to Jesus. Despite the long time he had spent in insanity, the madman of Gadara surrendered to Jesus. He longed for freedom, and the day he saw the One who could set him free, he ran forward, surrendered himself, and received his healing (Mark 5:1-20). Likewise, you must surrender completely to Jesus if you want to continue walking in liberty. You cannot remain in the devil's camp and expect to be free from bondage; you cannot give in to his temptations and expect him to stay away from you. People who toy with sin attract demons, and demons come with different kinds of bondage. I discussed five of them over the past few days.


In today's Bible reading, Jesus healed a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. The devil and his forces were behind this long-lasting ailment, and the man suffered because of their activities. After Jesus healed him, we discovered what gave the devil room to afflict the man: sin. After he was healed, Jesus told him to sin no more, else a worse sickness will come into his life (John 5:14).


When someone who is delivered from demonic possession returns to the sin that gave the devil room to possess him or her in the first place, the fellow will end up worse than before (Luke 11:24-26). If a person becomes possessed by a demon of sexual perversion through watching pornography and God delivers him or her, that person must never return to watching it. If eating too much opened the door to the demon of gluttony into a fellow's life, that fellow must shut that door once he or she is delivered in order to maintain his or her freedom.


Beloved, Jesus has paid the price for your deliverance, but it is your responsibility to maintain your freedom. 


ACTION POINT

If you have any habit or secret sin that can open you up to the enemy's attacks, ask God to deliver you and seek counsel from a genuine minister of God.
