TOPIC: From Dog To Child (1)
MEMORISE: “Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.” – Jeremiah 3:22 ( KJV)
READ: Luke 15:11-32 (KJV)
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

My Father is the God of all possibilities; He can change even a dog to a beloved child. As far as God is concerned, those who are not born again are dogs (Matthew 15:21-28). A backslider is also considered a dog. When Peter spoke about backsliders, he said, “But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire” (2 Peter 2:22).
God is merciful, and His mercy can change the worst sinners into His beloved children. In 1 Timothy 1:15, Apostle Paul said, “I was the chief of sinners,” but God changed him, and he became a chief among apostles (2 Corinthians 11:5). With God, all things are possible.
A young evangelist who faithfully won several souls to God fell into fornication. Consequently, satan deceived him that he could never receive God’s forgiveness. He believed the lie and continued to live in sin until one day, he fell ill and was hospitalised. He was put in the same ward with a pastor, who always studied his Bible diligently. The evangelist admired the pastor, and one day, the pastor asked him if he was a Christian. He said that he used to be, and when the pastor asked why he stopped following God, he shared his story. The pastor immediately showed him through the Scriptures that he could be forgiven and restored. Then, he prayed with him, and the young evangelist was restored – joy flooded his heart. The next morning, the pastor didn’t see the young evangelist. When he asked the nurses about him, they told him that he had joyfully passed on. God mercifully allowed the young man to return from his vomit before taking him home.
God is willing to restore backsliders when they return to Him sincerely; He is not interested in their death or destruction. In Jeremiah 3:13-14, He pleaded with backsliders to acknowledge their iniquity and turn to Him. God will always receive and restore people with humble and contrite hearts. The prodigal son was a backslider who received his Father’s mercy and was fully restored. Despite all he did, when he repented and took the right step to return to his father, he was received joyfully. God delights in welcoming lost sons home. If you are backslidden, don’t allow satan lie to you that God can never forgive you. He is waiting for you with wide open arms; return to Him now.
KEY POINT
God is willing and able to restore backsliders to Himself. All they need to do is return to Him with sincere hearts.
HYMN 9 – What Can Wash Away My Stain
1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount l know;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2 For my pardon this I see:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
3 Nothing can for sin atone:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Naught of good that I have done:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
4 This is all my hope and peace:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my righteousness:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Lord Of Hosts
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: The Lord Of Hosts
MEMORISE: “As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.” – Isaiah 47:4( KJV)
READ: Isaiah 51:15-16 (KJV)
15 But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name.
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 14-16
Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE
According to Psalm 24:7-10, God is the Lord of hosts; the Commander-in-chief of all hosts in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth. Even the devil operates within the confines of what He allows, as we see in the book of Job.
God can deal with any number of demons, be it one as in Mark 1:23-27, seven as in Luke 8:1-3, or a legion as in Mark 5:2-20. If there are any demonic forces interfering with your life, they will be put to shame, in Jesus’ name.
I used to say that the Lord of hosts never loses a battle, but recently, He corrected me and said, “Son, I can choose to lose a battle to win a war. I can never lose a war.” Sometimes, the Lord of hosts, in His divine wisdom, can choose to lose a battle because there is a greater war to win. For example, He allowed the devil to touch Job’s possessions and health because He wanted to showcase the excellency of His power. In another example, Pharaoh’s magicians did the same things Moses and Aaron did when they first confronted Pharaoh. However, it got to a point where they were terrified and declared, “This is the finger of God…” (Exodus 8:19). God permitted Pharaoh to remain stubborn so that He could reveal His mighty hand (Romans 9:17).
While Stephen was being stoned, Saul watched, and the devil rejoiced. The devil must have thought that he had won when he eliminated Stephen, not knowing that the agent he used to oversee the task would later become a major general in God’s army. God had a bigger picture; He planned to use Saul to wreak great havoc on the kingdom of hell, and He succeeded. The Lord of hosts wins every war. No matter how terrible things get, when He steps on the scene, everything will align in favour of His beloved children. No wonder Paul said, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Beloved, the Lord of hosts isn’t just the mighty Man in battle; He is also the only wise God (1 Timothy 1:17). He can rearrange things to suit His purpose – even the worst of situations. Trust Him to use whatever unpleasant situation that exists in your life for your good and for His glory.
KEY POINT
The Lord of hosts never loses a war; He arranges everything to suit His purpose.
HYMN 18 – Praise To The Lord The Almighty, The King Of Creation
1 Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health
and salvation:
Join the great throng
psaltery, organ and song
sounding in glad adoration.
2 Praise to the Lord,
over all things he gloriously reigneth:
Borne as on eagle-wings, safely his saints,
He sustaineth
Has thou not seen
How all thou needest hath been
Granted in what he ordaineth?
3 Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy way and defend thee;
Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever
attend thee; ponder anew,
What the almighty can do
Who with his love doth befriend thee.
4 Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has breath join with Abraham’s
Seed to adore him! Let the Amen,
Sum all our praises again;
Now as we worship before him.

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – No More Barrenness
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: No More Barrenness
MEMORISE: “And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.” – 2 Kings 2:21( KJV)
READ: Genesis 21:1-2 (KJV)
1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 11-13
Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE
In Genesis 1:28, God commanded man to be fruitful and multiply. A barren womb does not give Him pleasure; this is why in Genesis 18:9-14 when He told Sarah that she would have a baby and she responded by laughing, He said, “Is anything too hard for me?” If you’re experiencing any form of barrenness in your life, it will become a thing of the past, in Jesus’ name.
I was visiting the USA, and one of my young friends insisted that I come to his house for dinner. We agreed to have a quiet dinner; however, when I got to his house, I met four other women besides his wife. I turned to him and said, “I thought we agreed that this would be a quiet dinner.” He responded, “They’ve come to help my wife to cook.” | wondered why the food we wanted to eat needed five women to prepare, but I didn’t know they had a plan. I ate the food, and after I left, the four women who were visiting took turns sitting on the chair I sat on because they were trusting God for the fruit of the womb. The following year, when I was back in the USA, three of them were carrying their children, while the fourth was six months pregnant. If you are reading this and have been looking to God for the fruit of the womb, I extend the anointing to wherever you are right now, and if you will only believe, in nine months, you will receive your miracle.
At another time, I decided to use the restroom while the choir was ministering during a Holy Ghost Service in Kaduna, Nigeria. An usher, who was standing near the door, greeted me, and I shook hands with him. After I entered the restroom, he started rejoicing, and he excitedly went to tell the other ushers, “He shook my hands!” As I stepped out, there were about six ushers standing outside. I shook hands with them all; therefore, the usher who went to call the others received a second handshake. When he got home, he told his wife, who had been barren for years, “Bring your stomach. Daddy G.O. shook my hand twice!” Nine months later, their baby arrived.
Barrenness is not God’s will, and He has said in His word that none shall be barren in the land (Exodus 23:26). I decree an end to any form of barrenness that might exist in your life, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Father, Your word says that none shall be barren in the land; therefore, I decree that I shall experience fruitfulness in all aspects of my life, in Jesus’ name.
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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! [Refrain]
