OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: TUESDAY, 19TH AUGUST 2025 TOPIC: YOU CAN BE FILLED WITH MORE II MEMORISE: 2 Kings 4:6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. READ: 2 Kings 4:1-6 1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside t...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: MONDAY, 18TH AUGUST 2025 TOPIC: YOU CAN BE FILLED WITH MORE I MEMORISE: “He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.” - (Luke 1:53) READ: EZEKIEL 47:1-5 (KJV) 1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. 2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. 3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles. 4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. ...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: DAY, 17TH AUGUST 2025 TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL VII MEMORIZE: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. John 6:55 MESSAGE As I conclude this series, I want you to know that you can also be refilled spiritually through the Holy Communion. In John 6:48-51, Jesus said, “If you eat My flesh, you are eating the bread of life.” In other words, He was saying, “The bread of life is My body.” When you eat the body of Christ, you are eating a body that is full of virtue and the anointing of the Holy Spirit; you are taking all that virtue into yourself. If you take the Holy Communion worthily, there is no way your spiritual battery won’t be recharged. When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, He said that virtue had gone out of Him (Mark 5:25-34). When you eat the bread, you are eating virtue because it symbolises the body of Christ. The wine of the Holy Communion, which symbolises the blood of Jesus, contains th...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: SATURDAY,16TH AUGUST 2025 TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL VI MEMORISE: “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” - (Jude 20) READ: 1 CORINTHIANS 2:10-16 (KJV) 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he th...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: FRIDAY, 15TH AUGUST 2025 TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL V MEMORISE: “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” - (Psalm 96:9) READ READING: JOHN 4:23-24 (KJV) 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. MESSAGE: Yesterday, I started a discussion about how important it is for you to recharge your spiritual battery by studying, memorising, and meditating on the word of God. Today, I'll discuss worship as another way you can recharge your spiritual battery. Many people allow the choir to do the worshipping for them in church during services. I thank God for all the spirit-filled choristers around the world who lead powerful praise and worship sessions, but they cannot worship God on your behalf. You must learn to worship God yo...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL  DATE: WEDNESDAY, 13TH AUGUST, 2025 TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL III MEMORISE: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” - (Galatians 5:16) BIBLE READING: GALATIANS 5:13-25 (KJV) 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 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. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lascivio...
