Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: The Joy Of Hope

MEMORISE: “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” – Romans 5:5 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 130:5-7 (KJV)

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 14-15

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

My Helper is alive, and He does not CHANGE (Hebrews 13:8). He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One who was, is, and is to come (Revelation 1:8). He has helped me thus far, and He will help me until the end. This is my hope and confidence.

It is dangerous to be hopeless; never lose hope. In 1 Kings 19:1-8, when things were not going the way Elijah expected them to go, he asked God to kill him. However, in 1 Kings 21:1-24, you will see in verse 20 that Ahab, whom he had been running from, said to him, “Have you found me, my enemy.” The one who was pursuing Elijah was now the one running away from him. In the name of the Lord of hosts, all those who have been pursuing you will run when they see you. Don’t let anybody tell you that your case is hopeless; they are not your God, and they are not the ones who brought you this far. If they say it is too late for you, tell them that they don’t control time. God is the One who controls times and seasons, and He didn’t bring you this far to abandon you.

God’s word is a treasure chest of hope. Whenever a situation seems hopeless, declare His word. He has said that though your beginning was small, your latter end will greatly increase (Job 8:7). His word also say that nothing is impossible with Him (Luke 1:37). Since God is involved in your life, every impossibility becomes possible, in Jesus’ name. He has promised to bless and increase you and your children greatly (Psalm 115:14). He also said that as long as you follow Him uprightly, your end will be peace (Psalm 37:37).

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” – Romans 15:13

God is the God of hope. When He gives a man hope, He accompanies that hope with joy and peace. In His presence, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Beloved, anything that makes you feel hopeless is not of God; it wants to suck out your joy and make you lose your peace – don’t allow it. Stay in the word of God and put on your garment of praise. I pray that today, you will receive good news that will make you full of hope and joy, in Jesus’ name.

ACTION POINT

Spend some time reading about God’s promises concerning the situations or things you feel hopeless about.

HYMN 21 – My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3 His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – True Riches

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: True Riches

MEMORISE: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” – Matthew 16:26 (KJV)

READ: Mark 8:34-37 (KJV)

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 11-13

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

Many secret societies promise people riches, power, and other good things of life. If you have been invited to join such a group, I advise you to run because all their promises are lies, and once you join, you will realise that it is a trap of the devil and it is usually almost impossible to leave. You will also find out that the devil will demand your soul in exchange for the glittering things that were used to lure you in. These things, however, cannot measure up to your soul, as shown in today’s memory verse.

Yes, your friends might already be making so much money than you thought possible. They will tell you they are enjoying life and might even be calling you a fool for not joining them in doing things that God does not approve of. Beloved, I can tell you for a fact that they are only pretending as most of them wish they never joined in the first place because the prices they have paid outweigh the benefits they claim to enjoy. Why trade your soul for things that have no eternal value? Only God’s blessings make people rich without adding sorrow, heartache, or trouble.

“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” – Proverbs 10:22

The devil doesn’t give anyone free things. If he gives riches, he will take things that money cannot buy, including children, health, peace of mind, and the destinies of future generations. Like Esau who sold his birthright for a plate of porridge and later lost his true blessings, those who chase after riches from ungodly sources and evil associations become shortchanged eventually. They inherit sorrow at the end of the day.

Our Father’s ultimate desire is to give His children all things richly to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). He gives His children the power to make wealth, but the condition is that they remember and acknowledge Him in all their ways.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” – Deuteronomy 8:18

Beloved, when you seek God first, He will add every other thing you need to live a successful life (Matthew 6:33). God’s ways of making people rich might not be as fast as many people desire, but His ways are sure, proven, and everlasting.

KEY POINT

Those who chase after riches from ungodly sources and evil associations become shortchanged eventually.

HYMN 10 – In Christ Alone

1 In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my Light, my Strength, my Song
This Cornerstone, this Solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 In Christ alone, Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This Gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

3 There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – True Freedom

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: True Freedom

MEMORISE: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” – John 8:36 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 146:5-10 (KJV)

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

8 The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 8-10

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

Ordinarily, a fish in a well might seem to be doing well as it swims in circles. However, it can’t get out because it is surrounded by a wall. Being in prison is just like being a fish in a well. Prisoners are fed, but usually not with the kinds of food they would love to eat. Also, when they are sick, they are treated. I know this because I go to prisons to preach. Prisoners are taken care of and appear to live a seemingly normal life, but their freedom is limited within the walls of the prison.

If you are in a group or association that you cannot dare to come out of, you are in prison. It may seem like being a part of that cult is giving you some privileges. However, when you look closer, you will see that you have given more than you have gotten from the group. Most times, they will ask you to give things or make sacrifices that would hurt you greatly, including sacrificing your loved ones. Worse still, no matter how terrible what you might be asked to give is, you cannot leave. You may have seen examples of people who tried to leave but died, became mad, or encountered something worse. Often, such associations hold firmly to their members and violently go after those who leave; this is why you need the Great I AM on your side. Beloved, the only way to get out of a prison is when a superior force comes to rescue you. If you are in bondage spiritually, you need Jesus to get you out. Just as the Israelites needed God’s mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt, you also need to cry out to God to bring you out.

Beloved, if you are neck-deep in any evil association, God can save you when you cry out to Him and repent genuinely (Psalm 79:11). He doesn’t ignore a sincere cry, neither does He despise a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). He wants to save you now so you can enjoy the true freedom that comes with being a part of His Kingdom. Genuine repentance means giving up everything you have received from the association and denouncing everything about them. You cannot hold onto the devil’s lies and receive God’s freedom.

KEY POINT

Christ is the only One who gives true freedom

HYMN 14 – O What A Wonderful, Wonderful Day

1 O what a wonderful, wonderful
day, day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness
away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate
friend, He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with
joy I am telling, He made
all the darkness depart.

Refrain:
Heaven came down and glory
filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior
made me whole;
My sins were washed

2 They shall be changed and be like Him for aye,
When He returns for His own;
O what a glorious meeting that day,
With Jesus and those we have known! [Refrain]

3 Death will be ended and sorrow shall flee,
The darkness of sin will be past;
All the redeemed their Redeemer shall see,
And enter His glory at last. [Refrain]
