Open Heavens Prayer Points

PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

Friday 18th July, 2025

DON'T THINK FOR GOD 

Special Note.

These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his disciples of Christ, who was inspired and  mandated by the Holy Spirit, effective, January 1st, 2015, to start writing these prayer points, based on the Open Heavens Daily Devotional  authored by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

Some of the prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.

If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire, in Jesus' name I pray.

PRAYER POINTS

1.Father, I worship You the Ancient of days, Your ways and thoughts cannot be compared to the ways of man.

2.Father, I count it as a privilege to be associated with You. What a mighty God You are, Omniscient, knowing all things and able to do all things.

3.Father, I am sorry for trying to think for You, I am so sorry for not trusting You enough with my requests. Forgive me of my unbelief and deal with every spirit of doubt in me, in Jesus's name.

4.Father, please help me to learn to fully trust You and in Your ability to do all things. Help me to desist from trying to calculate how You will choose to answer me, in Jesus' name.

5.Father, I didn't choose myself but You choose me to bring forth fruits, and that the fruits will abide. Please, make me fruitful so much that my light will shine brighter even unto the end of time, in Jesus' name.

6.Father, please in the least expected way and signs, bless me and show to the world that I did not manourver my way into becoming what I am today or that I will be tomorrow but that You have chosen me to be Your son/daughter, in Jesus' name.

7.Father, please help me to fully trust You and in Your ability to provide for me in the way that will best glorify You, in Jesus' name.

8.Father, please, open my ears to receive instructions and grant me the grace to obey and carry out all Your instructions, in Jesus' name.

9.Father, please, in this second half of the year, give me a landmark miracle that will permanently shut the mouth of my mockers, in Jesus' name.

10.Father, please, may I not be tempted ever again to stand in Your way in trying to think for You, in Jesus' name.

11.Father, send help to Your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye in all areas of his life.

Make provisions for all his ministerial and spiritual life; bless his home, and family (biological and spiritual), and help them to continue to produce sons and daughters to Your glory, in Jesus' name.

12.Father, bless Your son that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measures, and all those who have been rebroadcasting them, in Jesus' name.

13.Father, let every challenge, hindrance and obstacle of getting these prayer points across to Your children, timely, and on daily basis be removed, in Jesus' name.

14.Your Personal petitions.

( Philippians 4:6)

15..In Jesus' name I pray.

(John 14:13-14; 15:16)

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: FRIDAY JULY 18TH 2025

TOPIC: DON'T THINK FOR GOD

MEMORISE:

“Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?” - (Job 26:14)

BIBLE READING: ROMANS 11:33-36 (KJV)

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

MESSAGE:

Many times, believers ask God for things and then begin to think about how He will achieve them. In reality, however, our brains cannot understand how God will do the things He wishes to do. For instance, when a man says he has a PhD in Mathematics, it may sound like a big deal, but in truth, he can only be a specialist in an aspect of the subject. If he finds himself among fellow mathematicians, they will begin to ask him questions like, "What is your area of specialisation?” If he says, "Applied Maths", they might further ask, "What section of Applied Maths?" He might respond, "Fluid Dynamics". They can still ask, "What section of Fluid Dynamics?" The questioning can go on until it becomes evident that his PhD degree is just a little pin-head in Mathematics. It will take you over 1,000 years to know all there is to know about Mathematics. However, God knows all Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, and all other subjects, including those that are yet to be discovered. You simply can't compare your wisdom and knowledge to His. Why, then, do believers try to calculate how He will choose to do something?

When I became the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God in 1981, quite a few people in the church thought that my appointment was rigged. They thought that I used my position as a Mathematics lecturer to manipulate the General Superintendent because he was uneducated. I looked up to God to show the people that I did not manoeuvre my way into becoming the General Overseer and that He chose me Himself. God then began to do something extraordinary. We used to hold monthly seminars for some days, and on the first day of each seminar, a woman would deliver a baby boy in our maternity centre. After several months of this happening, it became clear that it was not coincidental, and those with spiritual understanding among us discerned that it was a sign from God confirming that He had chosen me Himself. I could never have imagined that God would use this as one of the ways to confirm that He had chosen me.

Beloved, when you ask God for something, please don't ever think of how He will do it because it is beyond you. Just ask, obey whatever instructions He gives you, and leave the rest to Him. 

 KEY POINT:

When you ask God for something, don't think about how He will do it; only trust and obey Him. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 12-14

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY 17TH JULY  2025

TOPIC: BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT

MEMORIZE:

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: JOHN 6:5-13

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

MESSAGE

James 4:2 reveals why some Christians still suffer from lack. Do you know that if you ask God to end lack in your life, He will grant your request? In today's Bible reading, Jesus fed thousands of people with five loaves of bread and two fishes. By the time everybody had been fed, they still had 12 baskets extra. When God provides for your needs, He gives you more than enough to satisfy you. Your big request is a little thing for Him to fulfil.

Years ago, I travelled to London on an official assignment, and three days before my return, I had run out of money and needed 50 pounds to buy some books and tapes. I turned to God, "Daddy, it would be good if I could get 50 pounds." Shortly after, my phone rang. The fellow on the line said, "Biyi?" I told him there was nobody with that name where I was, and as we talked, he got to know who I was. Excitedly, he called out to his brother, telling him that he was speaking with me. Apparently, they had been discussing how they could see me, and now, I was on the phone with them. Eventually, they came over, we talked, and as they were leaving, they gave me 50 pounds. Immediately they left, I said, "Daddy, if I knew it would be this easy, I would've asked for 100 pounds." As I rejoiced over the 50 pounds, the doorbell rang, but before l got to the door, an envelope had been slipped under the door. I opened it and realised it came from a wealthy man who had never given me a dime before. Inside was 50 pounds and a note saying, "I just felt like giving you some money." Then, I told God that if I had known that another 50 pounds would come, I would have asked for an extra 50 pounds. That night, before I slept, someone gave me another 50 pounds! I became afraid and told God that I was only joking and didn't want to offend Him. God reminded me of this incident recently and told me I had been foolish. "If you asked Me for 50 pounds and I provided it, why didn't you ask for 5,000 pounds?”

Beloved, find out God's will concerning your needs and ensure your requests are in alignment with it. Stop complaining about lack in your life; rather, ask God to meet your exact needs. Do not waver in faith, and He will surely answer you. 

ACTION POINT:

Ask God to provide your needs according to His will, and believe that he is able to fulfil them. 

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:

ISAIAH 9 - 11

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.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 16TH 2025

TOPIC: OBEY GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS

MEMORISE:

“Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.” - (Proverbs 8:10)

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 5:1-14 (KJV)

1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.

2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

MESSAGE:

In (2 Kings 4:1-7), the widow of one of the sons of the prophets was in debt, and the creditors told her that they would take her children as slaves if she failed to pay the debt. She ran to Elisha for help, and the man of God gave her instructions that seemed foolish. He told her to borrow many empty vessels from her neighbours and pour from the little bottle of oil she had into them. Miraculously, all the empty vessels were filled with oil. A lot of times, God's instructions might seem not to make sense, but if you can just obey Him, you will experience a miracle.

Many years ago, the General Superintendent of the RCCG, my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, told all the church workers at a meeting that the church had a great need that must be met by the following week. He added that all the workers should close their accounts and bring the money in them to church the next Sunday. My wife and I obeyed; we closed our savings accounts and took the money to church. The following Sunday, Papa said that the need had been met and asked how many people had closed their accounts. I and my wife raised our hands, but when I looked around, no other hands were raised. I began to think to myself, "It seems I have run mad in the name of religion," then I heard God say, "Son, you are not mad; I am setting you up so that when I take you to the height I plan to take you, nobody will be able to accuse me of being partial." It is usually not convenient to obey God's instructions. However, if you dare to obey, you will enjoy unusual results.

In today's Bible reading, Naaman, the Syrian, went to Elisha expecting a miracle. He expected the prophet to come outside and lay hands on him, but Elisha sent a messenger to him with a simple instruction: go to River Jordan and bathe seven times. As long as he kept arguing with that instruction, he remained a leper. However, the moment he obeyed the instruction, he was healed, and his flesh became like that of a little child.

Beloved, God is always willing to give you a miracle, but you must obey His instructions even when they seem foolish. 

 KEY POINT:

Obedience to God's instructions births tremendous miracles and breakthroughs. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 4-8

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

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.

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,

not a sorrow we share,

but our toil he doth richly repay;

not a grief or a loss,

not a frown or a cross,

but is blest if we trust and obey. 

3 But we never can prove

the delights of his love

until all on the altar we lay;

for the favor he shows,

for the joy he bestows,

are for them who will trust and obey. 

4 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.
