Open Heaven 2 May 2026 TOPIC – The Mighty Hand Of God (2)
MEMORISE: And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: – Deuteronomy 26:8 (KJV)
READ: Joshua 4:1-3, 21-24 (KJV)
Joshua 4:1-3
1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
Joshua 4:21-24
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 10-12
Open Heaven 2 May 2026 MESSAGE
When God’s mighty hand works in favour of a fellow, family, or nation, it always leads to great blessings and favour. His mighty hand also brings total deliverance to captives and freedom to the oppressed. In Exodus 3:19, God told Moses that Pharaoh would not release the Israelites unless a mighty hand forces him. So, when God’s mighty hand was revealed, the children of Israel experienced preservation, protection, light, and provision. Egypt, on the other hand, became a shadow of itself. This shows that while God’s mighty hand works for His people, it works against any force that dares to position itself against the Lord or His people.
…Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice…And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not… Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God… – Exodus 8:17-19

In the Scripture above, the magicians in Egypt, who had earlier replicated the same wonders as Moses, acknowledged that the finger of God was truly at work in his life because they could no longer perform the wonders that God was doing through him. Despite this, Pharaoh stubbornly refused to back down from his decision to not let the Israelites go. That was until God’s mighty hand descended upon him and his people. I pray that anyone who stubbornly opposes you will be visited by the mighty hand of God, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s Bible reading, when the Israelites crossed River Jordan, God’s mighty hand was at work. After they had crossed over, Joshua declared that indeed, God made a way through River Jordan and brought them to the other side on dry land to show all the people of the earth that His hand is mighty (Joshua 4:24). God’s mighty hand makes a way for people where there seems to be no way. If you are indeed a child of God, rejoice because His mighty hand will ensure that all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28). However, if you are not a child of God or if you profess to be a Christian but are still living in sin, I beseech you to repent today so that you will not face the fury of the mighty hand of God. May God’s mighty hand bring you victory upon victory and shield you from the enemy’s attacks, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 2 May 2026 KEY POINT
God’s mighty hand works for the good of those who love Him and against those who oppose Him.
Open Heaven 2 May 2026 HYMN 6 – Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
1 Conquerors and overcomes now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve
victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er
prevail.
Chorus:
Conquerors are we,
through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory,
through the blood of Jesus,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward
press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For Salvation and for blood bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be given,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from
heav’n,
Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall
wear.
