TOPIC: Little Beginnings

MEMORISE: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” – Job 8:7 (KJV)

READ: Matthew 17:15-16, Acts 5:12-16 (KJV)

Matthew 17:15-16
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Acts 5:12-16
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 24-25

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

Every great minister of God must have had their days of little beginnings, and their greatness today testifies of their faithfulness over time. If you get discouraged during your days of little beginnings, you will deny yourself the opportunity to experience the great moves of God.

In 1980, while travelling throughout Nigeria, supervising our church programmes, and making sure that everything was in order, I had an unforgettable experience. I was preaching in a town called Warri when suddenly, I saw an open vision. In the vision, I saw that a young boy, who was born blind, received his sight. As I wasn’t as mature as I am now, I didn’t wait for God to give me the details of the vision before I said, “There is a young boy here who is blind, God wants to open your eyes. Come quickly!” Nobody moved. I continued, “I know what I saw. Maybe it’s your son, and he’s at home. Go and bring him quickly; I will wait.” Still, nobody moved. I knew that my God doesn’t lie, so I said, “Okay, I will wait for one hour after the service. Maybe you don’t want to miss what’s going on now. After the service, go and bring the boy.” I waited after the service, but no one brought any boy to me. Sadly, after the time elapsed, I left for Akure, which was my next stop. Because I waited an extra hour for the blind boy, I got there late, and someone else was already preaching when I arrived. Suddenly, while the sermon was going on, an elderly man got up. He had a young boy with him, and they began to move towards the altar. The boy was blind, and as I looked closely, I saw that it was the boy in my vision. The father wanted prayers for his son, but I knew that the protocol officers were going to turn him back, saying, “You can’t go to the altar while the preacher is preaching.” I ran towards the officers to say, “Please don’t turn them back. I saw this boy in a vision; he is about to receive a miracle.” However, before I got to them, the boy heard my footsteps, turned towards me, and his eyes opened.

Beloved, God proved Himself mighty in my days of little beginnings, and He has remained faithful up to now. He will prove Himself mighty too in whatever phase you are currently in your life, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT

Remain faithful in your days of little beginnings, and in due time, you will see God’s mighty hand at work in your life.

HYMN 21 – My Hope Is Built On Nothing Else

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

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

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

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

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – No Room For Laziness

TOPIC: No Room For Laziness

MEMORISE: “Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.” – Proverbs 19:15 (KJV)

READ: Proverbs 24:30-34 (KJV)

30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 22-23

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

Some people think that they can become successful without working hard. I was at a students’ programme, and I became alarmed when some students were said to have spent all their time praying and fasting instead of spending time to study and prepare for their exams. When I inquired further, they said that they believe that the Holy Spirit would help them. They cited my experience about the Holy Spirit teaching me how to solve a complex mathematical problem from the Bible. I told them that I had already studied, laboured, and battled with 186 simultaneous equations for 18 months before the solution was revealed to me through a Scripture in the Bible.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of what we have learned. Therefore, you should start every endeavour by putting in the required effort. If you fail to prepare and work hard, you will fail, and the Holy Ghost will console you. In God, there is no room for laziness.

Hard work and diligence are vital to getting to the top. While we must pray, fast, and study the word, we cannot do away with hard work. Great men work hard; that is why they turn out great.

Beloved, staying at the top is more difficult than getting there. It takes greater effort to remain a champion than to become one. A philosopher once said, “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

Proverbs 22:29 says that diligent men stand before kings. If you are not diligent, you will not get anywhere. You cannot afford to fold your arms and expect God to work for you. Paul said that he planted, Apollos watered, and God gave the increase. If they did not plant or water, they would not have received any increase from God (1 Corinthians 3:6). If Paul, the great apostle laboured fervently and diligently, then you have no excuse to be lazy.

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” – John 9:4

The Scripture above are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. If our Lord worked and diligently did the will of the Father, every believer must follow suit. Just like Him, we must also do the works of Him that has sent us, and to do them successfully, we must steer clear of idleness and laziness.

REFLECTION

Are you diligent in everything that you do?

HYMN 4 – To The Work! To The Work! We Are Servants Of God

⁠1 To the work! to the work!
we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our
Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel
our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what
our hands find to do.

Refrain
Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on,
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labour till the Master comes.

2⁠ ⁠To the work! to the work!
let the hungry be fed,
To the fountain of life let
the weary be led!
In the cross and its banner
our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings,
“Salvation is free!”

3⁠ ⁠To the work! to the work!
there is labour for all,
For the kingdom of darkness
and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,
In the loud-swelling chorus,
“Salvation is free!”

4⁠ ⁠To the work! to the work!
in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall
our labour reward,
When the home of the faithful
our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed,
“Salvation is free!”

Open Heaven For Today 2025 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – God Comforts

Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional

TOPIC: God Comforts

MEMORISE: “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” – Isaiah 66:13 (KJV)

READ: Isaiah 40:1-2 (KJV)

1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 19-21

Open Heaven For Today 2025 MESSAGE

One of the names of the Holy Spirit is ‘The Comforter’ (John 14:26). Jesus made a promise in John 14:18: “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” He is ‘The Truth’ (John 14:6), so when He says that He will not leave you comfortless, He really means it. Many times, however, when someone is grieving and the fellow is not open to listening to Him, he or she will not receive the comfort that He gives.

God is a Comforter; I am saying this from an assurance in God’s word and from my experiences. I have gone through many tough times, and God has always been there to comfort me. Many years ago, I used to know a fantastic young boy; I was very proud of him because of his passion for the things of God such as evangelism and Bible study. During his mandatory National Youth Service programme, he died. When he died, the other Christian Youth Corps members came together and started praying for him to return to life. After a while, he came back to life, sat up and said, “God asked me to come and tell you that you are disturbing Him,” and then he died again. When I heard of his death, I was very sad for weeks. Then, one day, God asked me, “Why are you so sad?” I responded, “Because you took this boy from me.” God replied, “No. You are sad because your boy went to heaven ahead of you. Tell me, if you are going to a new country that you have never been to, wouldn’t you like someone you know to be there, waiting to receive you?” I said, “That is true.” Then He said, “Your boy has only gone ahead of you to receive you when you also get to heaven.” Immediately after that conversation, my spirit was lifted.

When God said that He will never leave you nor forsake you in Hebrews 13:5, the purpose of that statement is so that you can have comfort in the knowledge that He is with you all the way. If you are currently experiencing heartbreak from any sad occurrence, I can tell you assuredly that Jesus is sitting right beside you, putting His hand around your shoulder and comforting you. You only need to open up to Him so that He can heal your broken heart. He loves you more than you can imagine, and He doesn’t want to see you sad. Allow God to comfort you.

PRAYER POINT

Father, I open up my heart to You. Please fill me up with Your comforting love, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 29 – When Peace Like A River Attendeth My Way

1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain
(may be sung after final stanza only):
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control:
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain

3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain

4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain
