TOPIC: THE WORD OF GOD

MEMORISE

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” - (Hebrews 4:12)

READ: Psalm 119:25-27 (KJV)

25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

MESSAGE

God's word is light. Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." When light is absent, people stumble and miss their way. I pray that the light of God will brighten your path and guide you through life, in Jesus' name.

The word of God is also truth. John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth". When you want to know the truth about anything, search through the Scriptures. When you want to know the truth about your health, don't keep staring at a medical report; instead, focus on God's word and believe in what He has said in His word concerning your health. (1 Peter 2:24) says that by His stripes, you were healed. This is a settled matter, and regardless of what any report says, good health and healing is the truth about you. When you want to know the truth about your finances, read through God's word, not the economic report or forecast. Economists can say whatever they want to say, but you must choose to believe the word of the Lord. God's word contains the truth about everything that concerns you.

God's word is also life (John 6:63). If anything in your life or around you is dead, God's word can bring it back to life. By His word, Peter's dead business received a net-breaking, boat-sinking revival (Luke 5:1-7). By His word, the dead son of the widow of Nain jumped back to life (Luke 7:11-15). God's word is alive. According to today's memory verse, His word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword.

Today's memory verse further tells us that the word of God reveals things that are ordinarily not easy to see or understand. There is nothing hidden under the sun that God's word cannot unveil (Hebrews 4:13). Apart from unveiling the things that are hidden, God's word brings peace amid storms. When Jesus and His disciples were trying to cross to the other side of a sea, they didn't expect that they would be caught in the middle of a storm. The storm came, and it was so fierce that the disciples thought they would die. They began to panic, but thankfully, Jesus was in the boat, and His word calmed the storm (Mark 4:35-39).

Beloved, God's word contains all that you need in life. All you have to do is study it, believe it, meditate on it, and apply it in your daily life. 

KEY POINT

God's word contains all you need to succeed in life; let it guide you daily.

PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

Thursday 9th October, 2025

THE POWER OF WORDS

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, thank You for the power in Your word, for Your word is "Yea and Amen" and they are spirit and life.

2.Father, please help me to make good use of the power of my tongue to speak life, so I can reap the good fruits thereof, in Jesus' name.

3.Father, please help me not to drain my spiritual battery with careless words, help me to speak words that are in line with Your will for my life even in the midst storms and persecutions, in Jesus' name.

4.Father, please fill my heart with Your word, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be in agreement with Your word, in Jesus' name.

5.Father, any negative word that I had spoken into my life and it's affecting my purpose in life, please  in Your mercy, turn the evil away from me, and let it be well with me again, in Jesus' name.

6.Father, I speak life, favour and prosperity into every area of my life today; I speak light into every dark area of life and family, and I decree that nothing good shall be impossible for me, in Jesus' name.

7.Father, help me to be careful with the words of my mouth, let Your word dwell richly in me in all wisdom so my speech will be gracious and seasoned with salt at all times, in Jesus' name.

8.Father, in any situation that may come my way, please open my heart to hear what You are saying to me, in Jesus' name.

9.Father, please fill my heart with Your word, and let my word be full of grace, and let my life truly reflect Your glory, in Jesus name.

10.Father, Let my conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as I have: for You have said, You will never leave me, nor forsake me. So that i may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me, in Jesus' name.

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

Help him to remain on fire for You; 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.

TOPIC: THE POWER OF WORDS

MEMORISE

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”- (Proverbs 18:21)

READ: Hebrews 13:5-6 (KJV)

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

MESSAGE

Careless words can drain a Christian's spiritual battery. When a believer keeps speaking words that are contrary to God's will for his or her life, such a believer will end up deflating himself or herself spiritually. When your heart is filled with God's word, and your words agree with His word, you will remain strong in faith and vibrant in the Spirit.

Psalm 107:2 says,

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Do you know why the redeemed of the Lord must ‘say so'? It is because there is power in what we say. If you are the redeemed of the Lord and you keep speaking the words of the unredeemed, you will reap the fruits of the things you say. When a believer whose speech should be gracious and seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6) keeps speaking negative and careless words, it is only a matter of time before his or her life starts to look like the negative words that have been spoken. When things don't go your way or when the economy looks unfavourable, do not forget that you are the redeemed of the Lord, and as a result, you are programmed for victory. Hence, you should not re-program yourself for failure and defeat through your words.

Fill your heart with the words of God so that His words will continually be on your lips no matter the things or situations that come your way, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). If you, however, occupy your mind with wrong or negative words, those words will come to play when the storms of life arise. You can't be bold enough to say that the Lord is your helper when you have not heard and believed that God will never leave you nor forsake you. What you keep hearing is what builds confidence or fear in you.

In any circumstance you find yourself, check what God's word says concerning it; hold on to the word and speak it into the situation. Ensure that the words on your lips align with what God has said in His word, but to do this, you must fill your heart with His word. You must ensure that the words of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16). When God's word fills your heart, your words will be wholesome and full of grace, and your life will truly reflect His glory. 

KEY POINT

Words have the power to create or destroy. Be careful what you say.

DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 8TH 2025

THEME: FEED THE SPIRIT

MEMORISE: 

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  

Romans 8:9

READ: Galatians 5:16-18

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

MESSAGE

Today’s Bible reading tells us that the flesh and the Spirit are constantly at war, and the one we feed is the one that will win. To live above the flesh, a child of God must keep feeding and filling his or her spirit with the word of God.

The story of Peter in Luke 22:54-62 is very sobering. He was one of the disciples whom Jesus sent to some cities and towns to preach the gospel and who returned with joy because devils were subject to them (Luke 10:17). He was also present when Jesus fed the five thousand (Mark 6:35- 44) and raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-44).

At some point, he even walked on water (Matthew 14:28-29). As long as Peter fed his spirit, the devil couldn’t touch him. However, the moment he began to feed his ego by boasting that he would never deny Jesus (Matthew 26:34-35), he became weak spiritually. Jesus had warned Peter that the devil had targeted him to make him fall (Luke 22:31), but instead of running back to the secret place to fortify himself, he kept boasting about his inability to fall until he eventually fell. When you don’t feed your spirit, you will become vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. You will become overly sensitive to offences and will easily get annoyed and irritated by many things. Feeding your spirit must be a regular exercise. In Matthew 6:34, Jesus said, “..Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” In other words, to overcome the evil of each day, you must feed your spirit every day. You must spend time in God’s word. Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night…” You must also spend time in prayer so that you won’t become a victim of the enemy. Some pastors have become so familiar with the word that they don’t see the need to study their Bibles and pray as before. They can cook up a sermon in a short time, and this makes them think they are okay spiritually. If you keep starving your spirit, it is only a matter of time before you will become dry. Don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking you are okay when you are not feeding your spirit. He wants to drain you so he can conquer you.

Beloved, feed your spirit every single day by studying the word of God and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit.

REFLECTION

Have you been feeding your spirit or your flesh?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 18-20

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1 I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Ev’ry hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

2 I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r

When Thou art nigh. 

3 I need Thee ev’ry hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain. 

4 I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

TOPIC: LEVELS OF BREAKTHROUGHS

MEMORISE

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” - (Psalm 37:4)

READ: Ruth 3:1-18 (KJV)

1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.

14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

MESSAGE

There are different levels of breakthroughs. In Genesis 18:9-14, Abraham had a breakthrough, but it was a breakthrough that took 25 years to manifest. In Genesis 41:38-44, Joseph had a breakthrough, but that breakthrough took several years to manifest the way God showed him several years earlier in a dream. Moses also had a breakthrough that had been promised over a long period of time before its manifestation (Exodus 3:1-15). He had known long before then that God had chosen him to deliver the Israelites (Acts 7:22-25), but the manifestation took years.

There is, however, another level of breakthrough like the one recorded in (1 Samuel 16:11-13), where a shepherd boy was anointed as the king of Israel without prior notice. In Esther 2:15-18, a slave girl became a queen in a foreign land; that is also a new level of breakthrough.

When you read the book of Ruth, you will see certain lessons that will help you experience a new level of breakthrough. After experiencing sadness and sorrow, Ruth decided to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, from Moab - her own country - to Bethlehem. Moab was a nation of idol worshippers, but she decided to forsake the idols she had grown up with to worship the God of Israel. She must have also left many childhood friends and close relatives behind - she practically left her old life to start a new one. You cannot keep holding on to the past if you want to experience a new level of breakthrough. You must let go of your past life and old habits to receive the new things God has for you.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:18-19)

Ruth found her breakthrough in Bethlehem because she served and followed the good advice she often received from her mother-in-law. She was a hardworking woman, and her diligence made Boaz notice her among the other workers on his field and show her favour (Ruth 2:1-16). In today's Bible reading, you will also see that it was Ruth's obedience to Naomi's advice that led to her becoming Boaz's wife.

Beloved, if you want to experience new breakthroughs in your life, you must obey the word of God completely. You must also seek and follow godly counsel while ensuring that you are diligent in all you do. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to obey your instructions on the things I must do to experience new breakthroughs in my life, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Matthew 14 - 17

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.
