HYMN 22 – Sweet Hour Of Prayer!
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Power Of The Holy Communion
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – The Power Of The Holy Communion
MEMORISE: “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” – Colossians 3:13 (KJV)
READ: John 6:53-58 (KJV)
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 12-14
Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE
Years ago, a woman was sick, and the doctors could not find out what was wrong with her. Finally, she said, “Take me to the Holy Ghost Service.” She was brought the day before the service so she could be seated right in front during the Holy Ghost Service. Since she had been brought a day earlier, she attended the Holy Communion Service, which is always held on the eve of every Holy Ghost Service. She took the communion, and after the programme, she was helped back into the car she came in. As she sat in the car, she suddenly noticed many ants coming out of her body and dropping dead. She looked down and saw that the car was full of dead ants, even though there were no ants outside the car. She was totally healed that same night!
The Holy Communion is a sacred meal, but it is also a very dangerous meal. This is because there is mighty power in the blood and body of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb…” If you drink the blood of the lamb worthily, you will indeed have a testimony. However, if you harbour anger and bitterness against your fellow brother and take the Holy Communion, you may die. If you eat the bread worthily, it can heal, and if you drink the wine worthily, it can deliver.
A woman was once possessed by a demon who was always talking with the voice of a man, blaspheming God and saying horrible things about Jesus Christ. She didn’t know how the demon entered her or how to get rid of it. She came to one of our services, and anytime she tried to pray, the demon would want to take over her voice to say horrible things about God. When it was time for the Holy Communion, she heard me say, “When you eat the bread, which is the body of Christ, you will be healed. When you drink the wine, you will get victory over the devil.” The demon in her screamed, “Don’t you dare drink that wine.” She began to rejoice, and the moment she took the wine, the demon screamed, left, and never returned.
Beloved, the Holy Communion is powerful, and you should ensure you partake of it as prescribed by Jesus Christ. However, you must avoid unforgiveness, bitterness, and any form of sin if you don’t want its power to work against you.
KEY POINT
There is mighty power in the blood and the body of Jesus Christ.
HYMN 25 – The Great Physician Now Is Near
1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]
3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus. [Refrain]

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – According To Your Capacity (2)
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – According To Your Capacity (2)
MEMORISE: “I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.” – Psalm 119:32 (KJV)
READ: Exodus 23:29-30 (KJV)
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 8-11
Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE
Many years ago, someone suddenly walked up to me as I entered into a room and held my hand, saying, “I receive a double portion of the anointing.” I gently brushed the fellow off me as I thought to myself, “This is not how to receive the anointing.” Even if I were to lay hands on someone to impart the anointing to him or her, what will determine the working of the anointing in the fellow’s life will be his or her spiritual capacity.
Those who will walk in a measure of the anointing must engage in some things according to God’s leading. They must consecrate themselves as led by God; if not, God will lift the anointing off them because the anointing attracts spirits. If a fellow carries a measure of the anointing and doesn’t embrace the consecrations that are attached to it, the anointing will do more harm than good to the fellow.
Many years ago, I didn’t fast the way I normally would have done before a particular Holy Ghost Service. During the service, I ministered with the anointing all through the night because God had already given it to me. However, after I retired to my room in the early hours of the morning, I could hardly stand up from the bed. The best way I can describe what happened to me is that my bones were like rubber. I had to beg God to give me the ability to at least attend the next meeting I had that afternoon. Fasting was not what I needed to flow in the anointing, but without fasting, the anointing could have really harmed me. God will not let you walk in the anointing that will be bigger than your capacity because it will destroy you.
If you want more of the anointing, then you must expand your spiritual capacity. God will not place a heavier weight of the anointing on a fellow beyond what he or she can manage. As a good Father, He doesn’t want His gift to become the reason for anyone’s destruction, so He would rather not give it. Having consistent fellowship with God is the key to building and enlarging your spiritual capacity. The closer you are to God, the bigger your spiritual capacity becomes.
Beloved, as we see in today’s Bible reading, God requires His children to grow so that He can give them more of what He has already prepared for them. Build your spiritual capacity to carry a greater measure of the anointing; consistently spend quality time in God’s presence and live a holy life.
KEY POINT
To grow your spiritual capacity, you must fellowship with God regularly and obey His instructions.
HYMN 12 – Onward, Christian Soldier!
1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to
war, With the cross of Jesus going on before!
2 At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise!
3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the church Jesus
constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘gainst that church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise
and that cannot fail
5 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices,
in the triumph song;
Glory, praise and honour,
unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages,
men and angels sing.
