TOPIC – Baptised With Fire
MEMORISE: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: – Matthew 3:11 (KJV)
READ: Malachi 3:1-4 (KJV)
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 10-11
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Anyone whom God wants to use as His vessel must be baptised, note not only with the Holy Ghost, but also with fire. Fire has many functions, one of which is that it purifies. In Isaiah 6:5, after Isaiah realised how unclean he was, the angel of the Lord used a live coal to touch his lips and said, “This hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged” (Isaiah 6:6-7). Isaiah received a baptism of fire that cleansed him and made him a useful and worthy vessel to carry out God’s assignment.
Before the apostles were sent out to proclaim the gospel of Christ around the world, Jesus instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, as we see in Acts 1:4-5:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
They obeyed this instruction, and they were baptised by the Holy Spirit and fire in Acts 2. This encounter marked the beginning of their exploits for Jesus, starting with Peter’s sermon, which God used to save about 3,000 souls that same day. If you want to be a worthy vessel in God’s hands, you must allow Him to set you apart and baptise you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
Beloved, God is still looking for vessels He can purify with fire and put to use in His vineyard. Today’s Bible reading tells us that God is a refiner and purifier of those who will serve Him in righteousness. Until the Lord refines you with His fire, your offering cannot be pleasant to Him. Offering in this context means your life. Gold in its raw state is not beautiful, but after it has been purified by fire, it becomes precious. This is why it is called a precious metal. If you don’t want to remain a common vessel in God’s vineyard, ask Him to visit you with His fire. Allow His fire to take away any filth in your life that will not allow you to be useful and precious in His sight. If you really want to be a useful vessel for God, pray today’s prayer point with all your heart.
PRAYER POINTS –
Father, I am ready; please, let Your fire fall on me.
HYMN 15 – Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour
1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Chorus:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
2 Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief.
3 Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee
Whom in heav’n but Thee?

Open Heaven For Today 2026 Saturday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – You Need The Holy Spirit
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – You Need The Holy Spirit
MEMORISE: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. – Acts 1:8 (KJV)
READ: Judges 15:12-17, Judges 16:16-21 (KJV)
Judges 15:12-17
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Judges 16:16-21
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 8-9
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Human strength is insufficient to accomplish the work of God. Anyone who attempts to do God’s work by his or her strength will end up being frustrated. Zechariah 4:6 says:
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
When the Holy Spirit is with a fellow, difficult things become easy. In Jeremiah 1:4-10, God told Jeremiah that He had ordained him as a prophet even before he was born. However, Jeremiah thought he could carry out divine assignments by his own strength, so he said, “Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.” The Lord then rebuked him and told him, “Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” Beloved, when the Lord gives you an assignment, rest assured that He will empower you with the strength and resources you need to carry it out. All you have to do is to trust Him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
In the Bible reading for today, the Holy Spirit came upon Samson, and he single-handedly slew one thousand men with the jawbone of an ass. However, later on in Judges 16:16-21, the same Samson was captured by the Philistines, had his eyes gouged out, and was bound with iron fetters because the Holy Spirit had departed from him. I pray that the Holy Spirit will not depart from your life, in Jesus’ name.
Today’s memory verse says that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power. The power of the Holy Spirit in you will then enable you to take the gospel of Christ even to the uttermost parts of the earth. You also need to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength, especially in the place of prayer. Romans 8:26 says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” I pray that the Holy Spirit will strengthen and empower you to do great exploits for the kingdom of God, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS –
Holy Spirit, I need You now and always. Please, empower me!
HYMN 8 – I Need Thee Every Hour
1 I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Chorus:
I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Ev’ry hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Saviour
I come to Thee!
2 1 need Thee every hour
Stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.
4 l need Thee every hour
Teach me Thy will,
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
5 1 need Thee every hour
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!

Open Heaven For Today 2026 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Divine Repositioning (2)
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – Divine Repositioning (2)
MEMORISE: And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. – Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 17:1-9 (KJV)
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 6-7
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
When God’s time to reposition a fellow comes, such a person will not have to worry about his or her enemies because the King of kings Himself will handle them. In 1 Kings 19:1-8, after God repositioned Elijah on the same Mount Horeb where He repositioned Moses, Elijah never ran from anyone again. In fact, as 1 Kings 21:20-24 reveals, he boldly approached the king of Israel to inform him about God’s judgment.
God often repositions people so they can see far. When you are on a mountain top, for instance, you will be able to see farther than someone in a valley. If you have ever been on a plane, you will discover that the higher it goes, the farther you can see. When you are on the ground, houses, trees, and other objects will block your view, but as you go higher, you will see more objects and things. In Genesis 13:14-17, God made it clear to Abraham that he could have everything he could see. Then, He instructed him not to stand in one spot, but to walk the length and breadth of the land, and He would give him whatever he could see.
At times, when God repositions a person, He does that so that the person can see the unusual. He does that so that the person can see what He is about to make available for him or her. In today’s Bible reading, the Lord took three of His disciples with Him to the Mount of Transfiguration to see what ordinary eyes could not see. They saw the Lord transfigured, and they also saw Moses and Elijah, who had been dead for hundreds of years. They saw what ordinary eyes could not see because the Lord repositioned them to a mountaintop.
In Mark 5:35-43, when the Lord Jesus Christ wanted to show Peter, James, and John how to raise the dead, he repositioned them. When He and His disciples arrived at Jairus’ house, He kept the others outside and only allowed the three of them to follow Him inside; the three disciples witnessed how He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead. Years later, in Acts 9:36-42, when Peter was about to raise Dorcas from the dead, he followed the example set before him by the Lord.
Beloved, God wants to reposition you to a mountaintop, and that mountaintop is a place of closer communion with Him. Are you ready for this repositioning?
PRAYER POINTS –
Father, please reposition me so that I can see and experience more of Your blessings.
HYMN 7 – I Am Thine O Lord
1 l am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer bless Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee,
my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
