Open Heavens Prayer Points

PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

Thursday 4th June, 2026 

A BRAND-NEW HEART 4 

‎ 

‎These prayers have no expiry dates! Please, pray them, irrespective of the time they get to you. Remain blessed, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎READ: Matthew 13: 7, 22

‎REFLECTION 

Are you fully surrendered to God, or you are looking for loopholes in His word so you can behave like the world?

‎Special Note.

‎These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his disciples in 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.

‎

‎These prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.

‎

‎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 

‎✓Father, thank You for giving me ears to hear Your word, and creating in me a heart to receive the word.

‎✓Father, please help me to fully surrender to You. Help me to believe and to do Your will absolutely without looking for loopholes in Your word to behave like the world,  in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me to stay away from anything that will prevent Your word from bearing fruits in my life, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me to love Your word wholeheartedly, to change my ways and to clearly let go of all forms of worldly pleasures, in Jesus' name.

‎✓Father, please destroy every thorn in my heart and give me a new heart that is totally surrendered to doing Your will absolutely without compromise, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me not to give room for the works of the flesh to thrive in any area of my life. Help me not to allow the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches to choke Your word in my life, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me not to resist the prompting of the Holy Spirit in doing Your will at all times. Let my life be fruitful, bearing fruits of the spirit, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me to flee anything and everything that will hinder my relationship with You or cause the unbelievers to blaspheme Your name in my life, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help all Your children to desist from all actions and inappropriate behaviours that will make the unbelievers to speak against the faith, in Jesus' name.

✓Father, please help me to change completely for You so I won't lose my relationship with You. Lord Jesus, let Your will be my will and never to say NO to You again, in Jesus' name.

✓Father, please help me to live a very fruitful life, and let there be fruits to show from my walk with You, in Jesus' name.

✓Father, thank You for the life of Your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.

‎

Let there be much more fruits to show for his walk with You till You appear in glory again, in Jesus' name. Bless his children (biological and spiritual). Help him to continue to produce sons and daughters to Your glory, in Jesus' name 

‎

‎✓Father, please bless Your son that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measure, and all those who have been broadcasting them, in Jesus' name.

‎

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

‎

‎✓Your personal petitions.

‎(Philippians 4:6)

‎

‎✓In Jesus' name I pray.

‎(John 14:13-14; 15:16)

‎Note:

‎You may not add, subtract or rearrange these prayer points.

‎

‎The Holy Spirit is the author, though He used someone, who, out of humility has refused to take glory for it, by not putting his name. It is plagiarism to use, or pass as your own, someone's else writing or work. The original author of these prayer points is the Holy Spirit. So, share, but don't share His Glory with Him in the process.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2026.

TOPIC: A BRAND-NEW HEART 4

MEMORISE

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. - (Revelation 3:15)

READ: Matthew 13:7, 22 (KJV)

Matthew 13:7 (KJV)

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

Matthew 13:22 (KJV)

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

MESSAGE

The third kind of soil Jesus described in His parable about the sower is 'Thorny ground'. He compared this soil type to people who hear God's word, but are distracted by many things that prevent the word from bearing fruit in their lives. This type of people appear to love God's word, but clearly not enough to change their ways or let go of some worldly pleasures. A male chorister in a church choir who serves God fervently but still fornicates is an example of someone with a thorny heart. Such people received the word of God at a point, but they did not allow it to change them.

Some Christians argue by asking questions like, "Where is it written in the Bible that drinking alcohol is a sin?" Some others even say that listening to worldly music is not a sin as long as they do not do what the lyrics of the songs say, or that gambling is not bad so long as the Bible doesn't say so. Whenever I hear such statements, I know that they are coming from thorny hearts. They want to serve God, but they are unwilling to let go of worldly pleasures. If you find yourself trying to find loopholes through which you can serve God and still do some of the things unbelievers usually do, beware, that is a major symptom of a thorny heart.

Being God's child is not about following rules and regulations; it is about being like Christ. When the Holy Spirit is truly dwelling in you, you will flee things that can hinder your relationship with God or cause unbelievers to blaspheme His name, whether they are clearly referred to as sins in the Bible or not. For instance, if a Christian man puts his hand around the waist of a woman who is not his wife, it can be argued that he didn't break his vows to his wife, but it is clearly inappropriate. Also, such an action can make unbelievers speak against the faith.

Beloved, many people have lost their relationships with Christ because they do not want to change completely for Him. They want to do whatever they like and still hold on to Jesus. If you are living this way, you need to have a change of heart today because there will be no fruits to show from your walk with God. I pray that you will live a fruitful life as a Christian, in Jesus' name. 

REFLECTION

Are you fully surrendered to God, or are you looking for loopholes in His word so you can behave like the world? 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Job 35 - 38

HYMN 7 - I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

and it told Thy love to me;

but I long to rise in the arms of faith,

and be closer drawn to Thee.

REFRAIN

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

to the cross where Thou hast died;

draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

to Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

by the pow'r of grace divine;

let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

and my will be lost in Thine. 

3 O, the pure delight of a single hour

that before Thy throne I spend,

when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend! 

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know

till I cross the narrow sea;

there are heights of joy that I may not reach

till I rest in peace with Thee. 

God bless you as you share.

Open Heavens Prayer Points

‎PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 

TUESDAY 2ND JUNE, 2026 

A BRAND-NEW HEART 2

‎ 

‎These prayers have no expiry dates! Please, pray them, irrespective of the time they get to you. Remain blessed, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎READ: Matthew 13: 3-4, 19

‎

‎Special Note.

‎These prayer points are not written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, but by one of his disciples in 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.

‎

‎These prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.

‎

‎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 

‎✓Father, thank for the provisions for a new heart through salvation in Christ Jesus.

‎

‎✓Father, please open my ears to hear Your word, and give me the understanding of it, and help me to act in obedience to the word at all times, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me to study Your word diligently, and to meditate on it day and night, to observe and to do according to all that is written therein, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please give me a new heart, a heart that loves Your word, a heart that seeks to please You wholeheartedly according to Your commands, in Jesus' name.

‎✓Father, please help me to desire to wait on You, to tarry at the place of the word, digging deep into it that I may know You more and more, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please give me a brand new heart that finds joy in studying the word daily and delights in spending time in Your presence, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please help me to remain consistent in meditating on Your word, and help me by the power of the Holy Spirit, to fill my heart with Your word for great fruits, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please more than ever before, help me to set Your word as my first priority daily, so I can experience Your peace and favour in ways I have never done before, in Jesus' name.

‎

‎✓Father, please let my life be a bountiful harvest of Your goodness and mercies, in Jesus' name.

✓Father, please give me a heart that yearns for Your word more than anything else, in Jesus' name.

✓Father, thank You for the life of Your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.

‎

May he continue to yearn for Your word so he will experience Your peace and favour in ways he has never done before, in Jesus' name. Bless his children (biological and spiritual). Help him to continue to produce sons and daughters to Your glory, in Jesus' name 

‎

‎✓Father, please bless Your son that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measure, and all those who have been broadcasting them, in Jesus' name.

‎

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

‎

‎✓Your personal petitions.

‎(Philippians 4:6)

‎

‎✓In Jesus' name I pray.

‎(John 14:13-14; 15:16)

‎Job 25 - 30

‎

‎Note:

‎You may not add, subtract or rearrange these prayer points.

‎

‎The Holy Spirit is the author, though He used someone, who, out of humility has refused to take glory for it, by not putting his name. It is plagiarism to use, or pass as your own, someone's else writing or work. The original author of these prayer points is the Holy Spirit. So, share, but don't share His Glory with Him in the process.

‎

‎Remain blessed, as you obey, in Jesus' name

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY 2ND JUNE 2026 

THEME: A BRAND-NEW HEART II

MEMORISE: 

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, God. PSALM 42:1

READ: MATTHEW 13:3-4, 19

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 

MESSAGE:

The first type of soil that Jesus mentioned in the Parable of the Sower is ‘The way side, as we see in today’s Bible reading. This soil type refers to people who hear God’s word but do not understand it or act upon it.

This category of people do not study their Bibles, and even when they do, they don’t ask their pastors or Bible Study teachers any questions. They never seek to understand God’s word; they only hear His word and move on with their lives.

Many of the people in this category are ceremonial churchgoers; they are often raised in Christian homes, so it is normal for them to attend church on Sundays. I was once this type of Christian. I thought that my father, being a church volunteer, and my name being Enoch, was proof that I was a child of God. I heard God’s word several times, but I never studied it. I thank God that He gave me a new heart when I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ.

Beloved, are you the same way I was? Are you only reading this devotional because it is the norm in your church, family, or office to do so? Do you ever dig deeper to understand what is discussed? When you study your Bible, do you get bored after reading the second or third verse? If you answered “Yes” to these questions, you need to ask God for a new heart; a heart that yearns to know Him more.

Ask God to give you a heart that finds His word interesting and loves to spend time in His presence.

Most importantly, ensure that you take some time every day to study your Bible. You can start by reading a bit further on the topics discussed in this devotional each day, or using the Bible-in-one-year passages.

You may not understand much when you begin doing these things, but as you remain consistent and ask God to help you, the Holy Spirit will start explaining the Scriptures to you, and soon, your heart will begin to soak in God’s word and yield great fruit.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to seek to understand God’s word more each day. When you make this your priority, you will begin to experience His peace and favour in ways you have never done before. 

I pray that your life will indeed be a bountiful harvest of God’s goodness, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me a heart that yearns for your word more than anything else.
