Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: THURSDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER 2026


TOPIC: ACCELERATED AND EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTIONS


MEMORIZE:

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:" 

1 Corinthians 1:26 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: JOSHUA 1:1-9 

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,


2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.


3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.


4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.


5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.


7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.


8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.


MESSAGE:

The word 'minister in the olden days basically referred to a servant who ran all sorts of errands for his or her master. Such errands would often include emptying and washing the master's chamber pot, doing the master's laundry, washing his feet, and the like.


While Moses was alive, Joshua was his minister, so you can imagine how shocking it must have been for the latter when God informed him that he was to become the leader of Israel after his master's demise. This is a good example of an accelerated and extraordinary promotion. The promotion was so sudden that Joshua became very anxious over the weight of his new responsibility. I know this because in today's Bible reading, God had to tell him three times to be strong and of good courage. I decree today that God will promote you in such a manner, in Jesus' name.


Whenever I see people struggling for promotion and desiring to be in leadership positions, I know it is because they do not understand God's ways. God never gives accelerated and extraordinary promotions to the wise or the qualified. He never gives it to those who think they are brilliant enough to explain the scientific permutations behind His workings. He always uses the foolish and weak things to confound the wise and mighty things (1 Corinthians 1:27). Therefore, people who think they are strong and wise enough to work out their promotion should not expect accelerated and extraordinary promotions from God because He only accelerates the promotion of those who will never take His glory for themselves.


On the day my wife and I got married at the marriage registry, we met a lady there who was dressed in a wedding gown. However, she wasn't with her groom; the man had abandoned her. The lady nearly ran mad, but she survived. After some time, she married a soldier. Unknown to her, the man who jilted her on their wedding day also joined the army. Then God moved. A military coup occurred, and her husband was made a military governor. Incidentally, the man who jilted her was assigned as her husband's aide-de-camp. Thus, anytime she wanted to enter a car, it was her former husband-to-be who would open the door for her since she was the wife of a military governor.


Beloved, I decree today that God will accelerate your promotion, and all those who have been mocking you will be confounded, in Jesus' name. 


KEY POINT:

God only accelerates the promotion of those who will not take His glory for themselves.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

DANIEL 1 - 3


HYMN 15 - PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR


1. Pass me not, 0 gentle Saviour, 

Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. 


CHORUS:

Saviour, Saviour, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling; Do not pass me by.


2. Let me, at Thy throne of mercy,

Find a sweet relief; Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my unbelief. 


3. Trusting only in Thy merit 

Would I seek Thy face 

Heal my wounded, broken 

spirit, Save me by Thy grace. 


4. Thou, the spring of all my 

comfort, More than life to me. 

Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heaven but Thee


God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: RAPID AND EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTIONS


MEMORISE

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. - (1 Samuel 2:8)


READ: ACTS 6:5, ACTS 8:5-8 (KJV)


ACTS 6:5 (KJV)


5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:


ACTS 8:5-8 (KJV)


5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.


6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.


7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.


8 And there was great joy in that city.


MESSAGE


Yesterday, I stated that steady promotion is good, but extraordinary promotion is better. Today, I want to discuss rapid and extraordinary promotions.


Rapid and extraordinary promotions are great promotions that occur at an unusually high rate. For example, David was in the fields when Samuel sent for him and anointed him to be Israel's new king (1 Samuel 16:11-13). After that, it took over a decade before he became the king of Judah (2 Samuel 2:1-4). Another seven and a half years after that, he became king over the whole nation of Israel (2 Samuel 5:1-5). At first, he became a potential king, but then he ascended to become the king of Judah and ultimately the king of Israel.


Elisha also experienced rapid and extraordinary promotions. He started as a farmer, but when God needed a successor for Elijah, heaven recruited him and gave him rapid speed (1 Kings 19:19-21). In (2 Kings 2:9-15), God promoted him, and he became one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. God used him to perform several mighty miracles, far more than his predecessor, with the last miracle occurring after his death (2 Kings 13:21). He was so great that in (2 Kings 2:19-22), he lifted a curse on Jericho, a city that had been under a curse since Joshua's time (Joshua 6:26). In (2 Kings 6:24-30), things got so bad in Samaria that women began to eat their children, but just one word from Elisha turned the situation around for good and brought economic liberation to the entire nation (2 Kings 7:1-16).


Philip was another person in the Bible who experienced rapid and extraordinary promotions. In a short while, he moved from being just a member of the congregation to becoming a deacon (Acts 6:5), and then he was promoted again to become an evangelist who brought great joy to a whole city (Acts 8:5-8). His rapid promotion came as a result of the persecution of the church in Jerusalem, which caused many of the disciples to be scattered (Acts 8:3-4). This shows that sometimes, God will use what the enemy sends to destroy you as a means of promoting you.


I have observed that when God sees that a believer has taken his or her walk with Him seriously, He shifts them from the realm of steady promotion to rapid and extraordinary promotion. Such persons will begin to experience promotions at an unprecedented speed. 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to experience rapid and extraordinary promotions in all areas of my life, in Jesus' name. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR EZEKIEL 47 - 48


HYMN 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


REFRAIN

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain. 


3 There shall be showers of blessing:

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come and now honor Thy Word. 


4 There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we're confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call! 


God bless you as you share.

DATE: TUESDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 2026


TOPIC: FROM STEADY PROMOTION TO EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTION


MEMORIZE:

"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." 

Psalm 37:3 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: GENESIS 26:1-14

1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.


2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:


3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;


4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;


5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.


6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:


7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.


8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.


9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.


10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.


11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.


12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.


13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:


14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.


MESSAGE:

Steady promotion happens when, if nothing goes wrong, and a fellow works diligently, he or she progresses to the next stage. After that, the fellow moves on to the next stage and continues to progress steadily. A great example of steady promotion can be seen in the case of Isaac in our Bible reading for today. There was a famine in the land, and things were really difficult. However, he obeyed God's instruction not to relocate, sowed in the land, and reaped a hundredfold return. He did not stop there; rather, he kept sowing and reaping until he waxed great. Things continued to progress steadily for him until he attained a very great height.


Steady promotions are good because they represent a slow but steady ascent. Those who experience steady promotion move predictably from point A to B, to C, and then to point D. The challenge with steady promotion, however, is that it only increases by addition, while extraordinary promotion increases by multiplication. For example, when you keep adding 2 and 2, you will need to add a lot of 2s before you can get to 2,000, while on the other hand, if you were multiplying, you would arrive at 2,000 a lot faster.


God desires for His children to progress from the realm of 'steady promotion' to that of 'extraordinary promotion' where they will experience exponential liftings that will cause people to marvel. For example, Joshua experienced steady promotion from serving as a servant to Moses (Exodus 33:11) to becoming a spy for Israel (Numbers 13:1-16). Later on, he experienced an extraordinary promotion and became Moses' appointed successor (Numbers 27:18-21) before eventually becoming the Commander of Israel (Joshua 1).


God does not just want you to have life; He wants you to have it abundantly (John 10:10). He wants you to have much more than you currently do, and He wants to make you a thousand times more than you currently are (Deuteronomy 1:11). When something jumps from one to one thousand, it is no longer operating under natural laws of progression; rather, it is operating by exponential or supernatural laws. This is the pattern that God wants your promotion to follow.


Beloved, my prayer for you is that you will begin to experience rapid and accelerated extraordinary promotions in all areas of your life, starting from today, in Jesus' name. 


KEY POINT:

Steady promotions are good, but God desires that you also experience extraordinary promotions.


BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

EZEKIEL 44 - 46


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 20 - I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY


1. I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining 

everyday; Still praying as I onward bound "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." 


CHORUS 

Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's table-land; Where love, and joy, and light abound, Lord, plant my feet on higher 

ground. 


2.  My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise, and fears dismay; though some may dwell where these abound, My constant aim is higher ground.

 

3.  Beyond the mist I fain would rise, to rest beneath unclouded skies, above earth's turmoil peace is found By those who dwell on higher ground. 


4. I long to scale the utmost height, Though rough the way, and hard the fight, My song, while climbing, shall resound Lord, lead me on to higher ground. 


5.  Lord, lead me up the mountain side I dare not climb without my Guide; And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around, With grateful heart from higher ground.


God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: THE ULTIMATE PROMOTER


MEMORIZE:

"But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." Psalm 3:3 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: 1 SAMUEL 2:7-9

7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.


8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.


9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.


MESSAGE:

When I was studying for my Master's degree, there was a young man who was working in a professor's office as a messenger. In those days, there were no mobile phones, so whenever someone called the office phone to speak with the professor, the boy would answer the phone first before taking it to the professor. Most times, however, whenever he answered the phone, the people on the other end of the call would say, "Prof," thinking it was the professor who had answered. After some time, the boy began to call himself 'Prof,' and people joined in, jokingly calling him the same. One day, he said to himself, "Hey, I know that people jokingly call me 'Prof, but I can really become a professor." By the time I left the University of Lagos as a lecturer, he was already studying for his PhD.


Today's Bible reading says that God can lift beggars from the dunghill and sit them among princes. I can relate to this because I had no shoes for the first 18 years of my life, yet by God's special grace, I have met many heads of state and engaged in lengthy conversations with them. The same God who promoted me can also promote you, if you surrender all to Him.


Some people experience what can be called 'normal' promotions in life. A good example of this is when people make steady progress in their careers. They might get salary increases once every year, and as they work hard, they get promoted once every five years. While this is good, I know that God has greater plans for His children. In John 10:10, Jesus said that He came to the earth that we might have life and have it more abundantly. God wants you to enjoy promotion that is beyond normal; He wants you to enjoy supernatural promotion. David was someone who experienced supernatural promotion. One day, he was on the field tending his father's sheep, and the next day, the Ultimate Promoter arranged for him to be anointed as a king (1 Samuel 16:11-13).


Beloved, the key to experiencing supernatural promotion is to humble yourself before God and live in total obedience to Him. When you do this, He will exalt you in due time and crown your life with His glory (1 Peter 5:6). I pray that the Ultimate Promoter will give you a supernatural promotion before the end of this year, in Jesus' name. 


PRAYER POINT:

Father, I ask for supernatural promotion in every area of my life, in Jesus' name. 


BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

EZEKIEL 41 - 43


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 27 - WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1.  What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear; 

what a privilege to carry 

Ev'rything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear- All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. 


2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a Friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 


3. Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care? 

Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.


God bless you as you share.

Happy Sunday!

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH 2026.


TOPIC: LEARN FROM OTHERS


MEMORISE

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. - (Ecclesiastes 1:9)


BIBLE READING: HEBREWS 6:11-12 (KJV)


11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:


12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.


MESSAGE


Today's memory verse says that there is nothing new under the sun. This means that if you are trying to achieve something, someone else has achieved the same thing or something similar before. Therefore, if you study that person and follow the principles the fellow lived by and the steps he or she took, you should also achieve the same result. This is why you must make it a habit to learn from the people you admire and seek to emulate. When you study their lifestyles and actions and add your knowledge and experience to that, you will be positioned to achieve even greater things than they did.


I always tell my children who want to be like me, "While everyone is focusing on the glory, pay attention to the story." God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34); whatever He has done for me, He is ready to do for anyone if they follow the principles I follow. When I became a Christian, I devoted quality time to studying the lives of the people who inspired me in the Bible, as I wanted to emulate them. For example, I spent three years studying Elijah. I loved Elijah because he was a man who could say a short prayer, and fire would fall. I loved his audacity and saw that the principles that powered his life were a devoted prayer altar and an unwavering focus on his God-given assignment. After studying Elijah for three years, I discovered Elisha, a man who possessed a double portion of Elijah's spirit, and I shifted my focus to studying him for several years as well. I have also studied Paul because he was a scholar (Acts 22:3), and he was mightily anointed. Studying the lives of these men has shown me what I must do to remain eternally relevant in God's plan.


Beloved, God has put numerous men and women in His word for you to study and emulate. Additionally, there are also people you can learn from in the present and in recent history. Don't deprive yourself of the wealth of knowledge and wisdom you can glean from studying others. Learn from their successes and even their failures and mistakes so you can know how to avoid the same or similar errors. I pray that the Almighty God will point you towards great men and women you can learn from who will help you to fulfil your glorious destiny in Him, in Jesus' name. 


KEY POINT

When you study others, you will glean and gather wisdom for living. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR EZEKIEL 39 - 40


HYMN 28 - GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH


1. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, 

Hold me with Thy powerful 

hand: Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven! Feed me now and evermore (2ce).


2. Open Thou the crystal fountain, 

Whence the healing stream 

doth flow: Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey 

through: Song deliverer! Song deliverer! Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce). 


3. If I tread the verge of Jordan, 

Bid my anxious fears subside: Bear me through the swelling torrent, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises! Songs of praises! I will ever give to Thee (2ce). 


4. Saviour, come! We long to see thee, long to dwell with thee above and to know in full communion, all the sweetness of Thy love. Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!  Take thy waiting people home (2ce).


God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: HOLINESS AND DIVINE BLESSINGS


MEMORISE: 

"Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

Psalm 37:4 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: LUKE 5:1-9

1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,


2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.


3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.


4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.


5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.


6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.


7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.


8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.


9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:


MESSAGE:

I always tell my children that holiness is doing whatever God says wholeheartedly and promptly.


When He says, “Sit down,” I respond immediately, “Yes, Lord.”


When He says, “Stand,” my response is, “Yes, Lord.”


When He says, “Eat,” I do not hesitate before saying, “Yes, Lord,” and when He says, “Fast,” my response is still “Yes, Lord”, and I’ll start immediately.


Just do what God asks wholeheartedly and promptly, then leave the rest to Him – that is all holiness is.


It is an aberration for a person to be holy and die in poverty. That is why I do not focus on preaching about prosperity; instead, I focus on preaching about holiness.


When you are truly holy, there will be times when God will give you instructions that will lead to receiving blessings from Him if you obey Him.


However, anyone who decides to argue with God at such times will miss out on the blessing He has prepared for him or her.


That is why David said in Psalm 37:25: I have been young and now am old; Yet have l not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.


In today’s Bible reading, Jesus needed a boat to preach to the multitude of people who had gathered, as they wanted to hear the word of God from Him.


He got into Peter’s boat and asked him to move a little away from the land. Peter’s response was, “Yes, Lord.”


After the Lord finished His sermon, He turned to Peter and asked him to launch out into the deep.


For lending his boat to the Lord, God wanted to reward Peter, and the reward came in a massive way.


Before Jesus came on the scene, Peter was battling with failure and frustration; he had toiled all night and caught nothing.


However, the moment he told Jesus ‘yes’ and released his boat to the Lord, he put himself in position for a windfall of God’s blessing. He caught so many fishes that his net broke.


His blessing was so great that his neighbours partook in it; both Peter’s ship and his neighbours’ were so filled with fishes that they began to sink.


Beloved, you cannot live a life of holiness, which can be seen through your obedience to God, and be frustrated or stranded.


When you obey God in everything, He will respond by blessing you in every area of your life.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to obey all Your instructions promptly and wholeheartedly, in Jesus’ Name.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 36-38


HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1 When we walk with the Lord, 

In the light of His word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and 

obey. 


CHORUS: 

Trust and obey! 

For there's no other way 

To be happy in Jesus, 

But to trust and obey. 


2 Not a shadow can rise, 

Not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it 

away; Not a doubt nor a fear, 

Not a sigh nor a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey. 


3 Not a burden we bear, 

Not a sorrow we share 

But our toil He doth richly 

repay; . Not a grief nor a loss, 

Not a frown nor a cross, But is blest if we trust and obey.


4 But we never can prove the delights of His love, until all on the altar we lay, For the favour He shows And the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey.


5 Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet, Or we'll walk by His side in the way, What He says we will do, Where He sends we will go, Never fear, only trust and obey.


JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY AND FOREVER (Hebrews 13:8). 


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 wants 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!

The joys I feel, the bliss I share,

Of those whose anxious spirits burn

With strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

Where God my Saviour shows His face,

And gladly take my station there,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


3. 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 of prayer!.


God bless you as you share.

MEMORISE:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6:38


BIBLE READING: 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8


6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.


7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.


8 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:


MESSAGE:

Many years ago, God asked me what kind of pastor I wanted to be. He asked, "Do you want to be the best or the worst?" I told Him that I want to be the best. He asked further if l want to be the poorest or the richest, and I said that I want to be the richest. I have experienced being poor, and I can tell you that it is not good. For instance, for the first 18 years of my life, I had no pair of shoes because my parents could not afford any. Shortly after God asked me what kind of pastor I wanted to be, I was at a church gathering, and it was time to give our offerings. Suddenly, God repeated the question He had asked me earlier, and I replied, "The greatest, the best, and the richest." Then, He said, "Give Me the biggest currency note in your pocket." That was hard, because it was a lot of money. I almost shouted, "Get behind me, satan," but I know God's voice, so I stammered, "Yes, yes, Lord." Not long after that, there was another gathering, and He asked the same question again. I gave the same answer, and He said, "Double what you have been giving Me," so I doubled it. Not long after that, He asked me to triple it. I did, and then He began to act. Every day, different people would approach me to give me something, so I started to expect it. One day, I was about to sleep when I remembered that no one had approached me to give me anything. I told God, "Daddy, I didn't receive Your messenger today. Nobody gave me anything today." Around midnight, somebody knocked on my door and said, "Sir, God asked me to give you this." I asked the fellow how he could be out that late, and he said, "I know that the God who sent me to you will take care of me."


Beloved, let me ask you, "What kind of Christian would you like to be, a poor one or a rich one?" I want you to trust God and let Him prove Himself in your life as the Almighty Supplier. Give to Him continually out of the resources He has blessed you with, and I can assure you that a time will come when you will say to Him, "God, are these blessings not becoming too much?"


KEY POINT:

God always blesses those who give to Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 31-32


HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS


1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer! 


2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer! 


3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.


God bless you as you share.

MEMORIZE:

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: 2 CHRONICLES 1:6-15


6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.


7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.


8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.


9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.


10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?


11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:


12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.


13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.


14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.


15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.


MESSAGE:

Some years ago, a member of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International declared that he would cover the cost of every evangelistic programme held in his chapter throughout that year, and everyone agreed. Later that year, the man shared the testimonies about what the Lord had done for him as a result of his giving, and the other members of the fellowship were truly amazed. Then, he offered to cover all the costs of the chapter's evangelistic programmes for the next year, but other members of the fellowship said in unison, "No way!" They also wanted to partake of the blessings that come with giving and didn't want the man to enjoy them alone.


In today's Bible reading, we read that Solomon sowed a thousand burnt offerings as a sacrifice to God, and that night, God appeared to him and asked what he wanted. Solomon asked for the gift of wisdom. God granted his request and also gave him unparalleled riches, wealth, and honour. Solomon was so blessed that the Bible tells us in (2 Chronicles 7:5) that when he gave another offering, he sacrificed 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep!


One of the many beautiful things about trading with God is that God can never owe any man. If you give Him something, He will repay you monumentally. Nobody trades with God and suffers a loss. Hebrews 11:6 calls Him a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him. John 6:5-13 tells us the story of a boy who offered his five loaves of bread and two small fishes for Jesus to feed the multitudes. What happened next was that he witnessed one of the greatest miracles of all time, as he watched his tiny lunch multiply to feed thousands. Apart from that, he also received twelve baskets of leftover food, which I believe were given to him since it was his lunch that was used to feed the multitude. A child who came with a little lunch pack suddenly needed the help of adults to carry baskets of food back to his house.


Beloved, Ephesians 3:20 says that God can do exceeding abundantly above all that you can ask or think. This clearly shows that you can never trade with God and become worse for it. Whatever you give to God will be given back to you in multiple folds, far beyond your wildest imagination. 


KEY POINT:

Nobody trades with God and suffers a loss.

HYMN 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


REFRAIN

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain. 


3 There shall be showers of blessing:

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come and now honor Thy Word. 


4 There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we're confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!


God bless you as you share.

DATE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST 2026


TOPIC :THE LAW OF HARVEST


MEMORIZE: 

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:37-44


37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:


38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.


39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.


40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.


41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.


42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:


43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:


44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


MESSAGE:

The law of harvest is one of the most powerful laws created by God. It states that ‘whatever a person sows is what he or she will reap’ (Galatians 6:7), and it is so powerful that God applied it to Himself when He wanted more children.


John 12:24 says a corn of wheat must first be sown into the ground and die before it can bring forth much fruit.


So God sowed His only begotten son (Jesus Christ), so that He might gain many more children, and Jesus would become the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29).


Many years ago, there was a man in Nigeria who would hand out cash to people randomly wherever he went.


People followed him everywhere he went because they knew that he would give them money.


Some people wondered if he was mad, but he wasn’t; he only discovered that the more he gave out money, the more he received.


Anyone who truly discovers the secret of the law of harvest would never be begged to give.


The law of harvest is so powerful that when a person sows a seed of kindness or wickedness, the fellow will harvest what he or she has sown in bountiful folds.


Nobody sows a grain of corn and harvests a grain; if you sow a grain of corn, the least harvest you can expect is a cob of corn with many grains.


Job 4:8 says “…they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.” People who spend their time scheming to harm others will eventually fall into the traps they created.


Likewise, if you sow kindness, you will reap an abundance of kindness. Hosea 10:12 says that when people sow in righteousness, they will reap in mercy.


Beloved, one thing you must constantly sow as a believer is good works. Dorcas could never have known that the harvest of her good works towards the widows in her community would come in the form of her being resurrected from the dead (Acts 9:36-42) – that is another mystery about the law of harvest.


Today’s Bible reading tells us that whatever is sown often returns in another form because God gives the seed a body as He pleases.


Dorcas’ seed of kindness returned in a bigger, better form as God’s gift of resurrection.


Keep sowing good works, and watch God repay you in ways beyond your wildest imagination.


KEY POINT:

You will reap what you sow; therefore, sow good works everywhere you go.

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." 


CHORUS: 

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! 

How I 've proved Him o'er and 

o'er! 

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! 

o for grace to trust Him more 

 

2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus, 

Just to trust His cleansing blood; Just 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 Learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend, And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end. '


God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: JUST KEEP SOWING


MEMORISE

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - (Galatians 6:9)


BIBLE READING: ECCLESIASTES 11:1-6 (KJV)


1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.


2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.


3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.


4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.


5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.


6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.


MESSAGE


Some people attain a level of success in life and believe they have reached the pinnacle of success, so they stop doing the things that helped them become successful. Before long, however, they often come to the realisation that they have begun to regress. This is why, if you have found a key that has helped you make progress in any area of your life and become successful, you must keep using it. The moment a fellow stops doing the things that helped him or her to become successful, such a person will begin to regress.


Genesis 26:12-14 says:


Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.


Isaac sowed in a time of famine because God told him not to leave the land (Genesis 26:2). He sowed the first year and had a hundred-fold return. However, he didn't stop there. I imagine that in the second year, he sowed again, and because he had a hundredfold more than he used to have, he sowed a hundred times more seeds than he sowed the first year and reaped an even greater harvest. I imagine that he kept sowing year after year, thereby compounding his harvest. As a result, he continued to progress until it reached a point that his prosperity became very evident. He became so prosperous that the king of the country came to tell him that he had become mightier than the entire nation, even though he was an immigrant (Genesis 26:16). Isaac didn't stop at one level of prosperity; he kept sowing and moving forward until an entire nation envied him.


Of a truth, it is God who gives prosperity. In (1 Corinthians 3:6), Paul said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Paul may plant, Apollos may water, but it is God who ultimately gives the increase. However, there will be no increase if nothing has been planted and watered. This means that the more seeds you plant, the greater your harvest should be. Based on the principle of sowing and reaping, when a person stops planting and watering, the flow of prosperity and increase will also stop. Beloved, do not be tired of sowing because that is the key to perpetual prosperity. 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the grace to keep sowing in season and out of season, in Jesus' name.
