Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2026

TOPIC: REMAIN GRATEFUL

MEMORIZE:

“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.”

Psalm 26:7 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 103:1-5

"1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."

MESSAGE:

Some time ago, I went to a man’s house to conduct a programme. It was a night programme, and the Sowner of the house asked me to spend the night at his house afterwards because it was too late for me to return home. I obliged, and in the morning, he asked me to wait for breakfast. When it was time to eat, a chef came and asked my host what he wanted to eat. After so much back and forth, my host finally decided that he would have bread and eggs for breakfast. Then, for the next few minutes, another back-and-forth ensued because the chef asked my host how he wanted his eggs prepared – scrambled, poached, or fried – before he finally settled on boiled eggs. Then, it was time for another debate: how do you want your egg boiled, hard-boiled or medium-boiled? By then, it had been more than 25 minutes, and I had gotten really hungry. Finally, the chef turned to me when he finished with his boss and asked, “Sir, what will you eat?” I told him to give me anything he had. He said he had bread and eggs, and I said it was fine. Then, he asked if I wanted an omelette or bacon, the number of eggs I wanted, and so on. I told him that anything was fine, as long as it was enough to satisfy my hunger. After the whole ordeal, I thought to myself that even though I had no money, I had a good appetite at least. Child of God, while you may not have everything you desire in life yet, you must be grateful for the things you have.

Ecclesiastes 6:9 says that the sight of the eyes is better than the wandering of desire. Many people are not grateful for what they have because they are consumed with thinking about the things they want. They do not appreciate the things they can see because of their wandering desires. Beloved, if God has given you the gift of life, be grateful. Ecclesiastes 9:4 says that as long as you are joined to all the living, there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. As long as you are alive, there is hope that you will achieve the things you desire. Don’t be so focused on the things you wish you had that you forget to appreciate God for all you already have. In all things, give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

REFLECTION:

Are you grateful for the things you have?

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

MATTHEW 1-4

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

Let the Amen, sum all our praises again;

Now as we worship before Him.

God bless you as you share.

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!

1. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of Prayer! 

That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my want and wishes 

known; 

In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

2. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! 

Thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless; and since he bids me seek his face, believe his word and trust his grace I'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour prayer.

3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! 

May I'll from mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; this robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the ever lasting prize and shout while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

God bless you as you share.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2026

TOPIC: YOU HAVE A PURPOSE

MEMORIZE:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11(KJV)

BIBLE READING: 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 Lord said 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.

MESSAGE:

After Jesus resurrected from the dead, He visited His disciples in John 20:19-22 and said to them.””…as my Father hath sent me, even so send l you.”

When God comes into a person’s life, He will give the person a purpose for his or her life.

He will share His thoughts and plans with the person and show him or her what the future holds. He will do this because He desires His children to live purposeful lives.

Many people are drifting through life because they haven’t encountered Jesus.

They do anything that appeals to them because they have not discovered why God created them.

For instance, some of them engage in fraudulent acts just to make money. At the end of the day, they realise that life is more than having money.

Such people become rich but miserable because the wealth they amassed, which they thought would bring them joy and tultilment, did not.

They soon discover that their lives lack meaning despite their wealth. They do not know God’s purpose for their lives, so they continually strive to achieve the next big thing.

Unfortunately, after each seemingly big achievement, they tend to sink into despair because they feel as if something is still missing in their lives.

Child of God, no amount of money, fame, or achievement can make a person fulfilled.

As long as a person lives outside God’s purpose for his or her life, such a person will not know what true fulfilment is.

I have had the opportunity to mingle with the high and mighty, and I have discovered that some people who are poor by societal definitions have more joy and peace than many of them.

In today’s memory verse, the Almighty God says that He knows the plans He has towards you, and that they are good.

Beloved, God has a specific plan for your life, and it is only when you align yourself with His plan that you will experience fulfilment.

To know His purpose for your lite, you must cultivate an intimate relationship with Him because He created you, and no product can fulfil its true purpose outside its manufacturer’s intention and specifications.

As you spend quality time with your Maker in prayer and studying His word, your true purpose will become evident.

I pray that God will continually guide you along the path of your purpose in Him and supply you with the grace and wisdom to fulfil it, in Jesus name.

REFLECTION:

Do you know God’s purpose for your life, and are you walking in it?

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: ZECHARIAH 11-14

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMNAL 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1 In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

3 There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

God bless you as you share.

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29TH 2026.

TOPIC: THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST

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)

BIBLE READING: ACTS 5:25-33 (KJV)

25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

MESSAGE

In today's memory verse, Jesus told His disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon them, and it happened exactly as He had said (Acts 2:1-43). The moment the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will suddenly become strong. You will become bold and empowered to achieve great things because Zechariah 4:6 says, "... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

Many people have failed in various endeavours because they have been trying to function solely by their own power. As long as a person keeps eeps trying trying to to do things solely by his or her own strength, there is a high probability that such a person will fail. However, when the Holy Spirit empowers a person, he or she is assured of a positive outcome.

The power of the Holy Spirit turns cowards into mighty men and weaklings into great terrors to the kingdom of darkness. When this power came upon the apostles, the men who had been hiding from the religious leaders of their time began to confront them boldly. Today's Bible reading reveals how Peter, who denied knowing Jesus when a maidservant pointed out that he was one of His disciples, boldly spoke about Jesus before those who threatened his life.

I recall vividly that after I got born again at the University of Lagos in 1973, I had a Head of Department whose name was Professor Chike Obi. He was the greatest mathematician Africa had ever produced. Humanly speaking, he was a very good man, but I wondered how someone could be that good and not know the love of Christ. One Sunday evening in church, we prayed and were told to go and win souls, and I said, "When I get to the office tomorrow, I'll preach to my Head of Department." When I got to the office, I went to him to say, "Good morning, sir," and he thanked me in such a way that I froze and ran away. When I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, however, I became bold to preach to him. I received the power to succeed, win souls, and plant churches, and the power to win in life was also given to me.

Beloved, I pray for you today that you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit just as I did and be empowered to reign in life and be a fruitful witness for Christ, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT

Dear Lord, please baptise me with the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ZECHARIAH 6 - 10

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.
