TOPIC – He Is In Charge (2)
MEMORISE: He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. – Psalm 78:45 (KJV)
READ: Revelation 12:1-17 (KJV)
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: John 1-2
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Yesterday, I shared how God is in charge of nature and everything in the world. When a fellow is on God’s side, nature cooperates to favour him or her. However, when a person puts himself or herself against God, nature works against such a person. Beloved, if you are against God, the elements of nature can decide to work against you. There is no better time than now to turn your life over to the One who is in charge of everything.
Jeremiah 22:28-30 tells us about a man named Coniah (also known as Jehoiachin). He was a king who lived contrary to God’s will (2 Kings 24:8-9), and God told the earth to write him childless. Nothing he did would have made him fruitful because the earth had been commanded by the One in charge of it to ensure that he remained unfruitful. Another person the forces of nature worked against was Sisera, as recorded in Judges 5:20-21. Sisera made himself a terror to God’s people (Judges 4:1-3), and when God wanted to judge him, the stars in their courses fought against him, and so did the river of Kishon. Similarly, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let God’s people go, God used different forces of nature to fight him. Animals rose against him (Psalm 78:43-46), hail fought against him (Exodus 9:18-26), and even the sun ceased shining for three days because of his disobedience (Exodus 10:21-23). It is better to pitch your tent with the One who is in charge because everything obeys Him; everything fulfils His decrees.
Today’s Bible reading tells us about a dragon and a woman. When it seemed as if all hope had been lost and the dragon would destroy the woman, the Bible says that the earth came to her aid. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood that the dragon cast out of its mouth. The earth helps those who follow the Lord and do His will; it favours those who favour the Lord’s righteous cause. When Adam sinned, the ground was cursed for his sake (Genesis 3:17-19). However, everyone in Christ is exempt from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).
Beloved, I pray that as you praise God and acknowledge Him as the only One in charge of everything in the world, the earth will yield its increase for you (Psalm 67:6), in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT –
Lord, please cause the earth to work in my favour. Let it yield its increase to me, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 21 – My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
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.
Chorus:
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.
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.
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.

TOPIC – He Is In Charge (1)
MEMORISE: For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. – Job 37:6 (KJV)
READ: Mark 4:36-41 (KJV)
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 23-24
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Some years ago, I was invited to a very important meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA. The meeting was scheduled to take place in January, and Denver is typically very cold during the first month of the year due to its winter season. As I prayed concerning the meeting, I asked God, “Daddy, should I go?” He replied, “Go.” Then, I asked, “What are we going to do about the winter?” He replied, “Don’t worry about that.” I spent three days in Denver, and during that time, people were wearing T-shirts because summer arrived suddenly. After I left Denver at 5pm on the third day, 12.5 centimetres of snow covered the city by 6pm. God suspended the winter so that His work could be done, and after it was completed, He released the snow to continue its course.
God is in charge of nature; He rules the world and everything in it. Today’s memory verse says that He talks to the snow. He tells the snow and the rain when to fall on the earth. God can decide to withhold the rain or snow from the earth or release it. He can suspend the laws of nature to fulfil His agenda and release them when His work is done. Psalm 148:8 says that fire, hail, snow, vapour, and even stormy winds fulfil His word. There is no wind that is too fierce that God cannot silence. There is no fire that is too wild that He cannot quench.
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus was in a ship with His disciples when a great storm arose. The wind was so fierce that the experienced fishermen among Jesus’ disciples knew that they were in grave danger. They probably did all they could professionally, but nothing worked. As a last resort, they ran to Jesus. When they woke Him, He showed them that He was in charge, as He arose and rebuked the wind.
Beloved, unlike Jesus’ disciples in today’s Bible reading, never make God your last resort when it comes to situations in your life; rather, you must always put Him first. When you give God complete control over the affairs of your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance that comes to challenge you. I decree that every contrary wind or situation that comes against you will submit to the supremacy of the Almighty God and cooperate with you, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT –
God rules over nature, and His supremacy is incontestable.
HYMN 18 – Praise To The Lord The Almighty, The King Of Creation
1 Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health
and salvation:
Join the great throng
psaltery, organ and song
sounding in glad adoration.
2 Praise to the Lord,
over all things he gloriously reigneth:
Borne as on eagle-wings, safely his saints,
He sustaineth
Has thou not seen
How all thou needest hath been
Granted in what he ordaineth?
3 Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy way and defend thee;
Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever
attend thee; ponder anew,
What the almighty can do
Who with his love doth befriend thee.
4 Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has breath join with Abraham’s
Seed to adore him! Let the Amen,
Sum all our praises again;
Now as we worship before him.

TOPIC – Child-Like Faith
MEMORISE: And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. – Genesis 15:6 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 18:2-5, Luke 17:5-6 (KJV)
Matthew 18:2-5
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Luke 17:5-6
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 21-22
Open Heaven 30 October 2026 MESSAGE
After I gave my life to Christ, I had a Sunday School teacher, Pastor Aderibigbe, whom God used to teach me about faith. He said that if a boy stands on a storey building and his father, who is on the ground floor, tells him to jump down, the boy will jump. This is because the child has absolute trust in his father and believes that he will catch him when he jumps. This analogy further illustrates what Jesus said in our Bible reading today about becoming like little children. If a child can have so much faith in an ordinary human being, how much more in God? From that day on, I have been ‘jumping’, and my Father has never allowed me to hit the ground.
I recall a time when I was working as a teacher at a school in Okeigbo, a town in Ondo State, Nigeria. The school took students on an excursion to some places in the Eastern part of Nigeria, and one of the places we visited was the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. We arrived there on a Sunday in time for lunch. We were allowed to enter the dining hall, even though we were not served any food. I looked at the meal each student was served – jollof rice and a half-chicken. I was stunned; a whole chicken had been cut into two pieces, and each student was given one. At that time, the university was only two years old, so all its buildings were shiny and looked very beautiful. I came out of the dining hall, bent down, and picked up a pebble. Then, I said, “Next year, I will come and drop this pebble as a student.” That was just an act of faith by a young man. The following year, I became a student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. God saw the faith of a child who picked up a pebble in faith, and He honoured my faith.
My Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, always taught us that if you say you have faith, then you should act in accordance with your faith. Just as I picked up a pebble then, I want you to do something or declare words today that truly show you believe that God will give you the miracle you are asking Him for. As long as what you are asking for is in accordance with God’s will, just jump and trust Him to catch you.
PRAYER POINT –
Father, I believe in You for (insert what you are believing God for). Please, honour my faith.
HYMN 16 – Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
1 ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3 Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4 I’m so glad I learn’d to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
