OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 30TH 2025
TOPIC: THE ALL-SUFFICIENT GOD
MEMORISE:
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" 2 Corinthians 9:8
BIBLE READING: PSALMS 23:1-6
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
MESSAGE:
The first record of God introducing Himself in person to man by His name was in Genesis 17:1, and He said, " am Jehovah El-Shaddai." This is often interpreted as The God who is more than enough.' However, some Bible scholars have said there is a deeper meaning to the name as it also describes God as an inexhaustible source for our nurturing. This implies that God is saying, "You can draw everything you need for growth and a fulfilling life from Me."
My God is the All-sufficient One. David said in Psalm 23:1, The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want!" Philippians 4:19 says that God will supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. The Bible says further in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things
through Christ which strengthen me." These and many more Scriptures give me the assurance that if I am linked with the All-sufficient One, it is impossible for me to lack.
God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19) - He gives us benefits every single day! When He wants to supply your needs for a day, He can use various methods. In 1956, I was living with an uncle in Ilesha, a town in Western Nigeria. He was a drummer whose only source of income was whenever people invited him to play the drum. When he doesn't receive any invitations, no money comes in, and we will starve. On a particular day, both of us were hungry, and we hoped that somebody would come and invite him to drum. After a while, a girl came to us with a big bowl on her head, dropped it, and said, "My sister said I should give you this food." My uncle said, "I don't know your sister." The girl replied, "Well, my sister knows you," and she turned around and left. Immediately after she left, we opened the bowl and found pounded yam and chicken stew in it. We had been starving, so we descended on the food without delay. As we were breaking the chicken bones, the girl came back and said, "I’m sorry, I came to the wrong house," but it was too late. When God wants to supply your needs, He can divert blessings that do not seem to be yours to you.
Beloved, never worry about your needs. Trust and obey the All-Sufficient One, and you will always have all you need and more.
KEY POINT:
God is inexhaustible; stay connected to Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 53-56

HYMN 16: TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3 Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease,
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4 I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
#6days to go...
When voices rose and trumpets sounded, the impossible fell flat. Jericho’s walls couldn’t withstand a people who praised in faith.
Overcomers aren’t shaken by obstacles, we shout in victory before the walls fall!
“By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were encircled for seven days.” — Hebrews 11:30
The countdown continues, raise a shout, the wall against you is next!
