TOPIC – When There Is Light (3)
MEMORISE: Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. – Matthew 5:15 (KJV)
READ: John 4:7-18, 25-30 (KJV)
John 4:7-18
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
John 4:25-30
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 8-10
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
One of my spiritual daughters, a friend and former classmate of my wife, had a big problem – cancer of the voice box. The doctors said that the only way to keep her alive was to remove her voice box, meaning that she would never talk again. They did, and from then on, she could no longer speak. However, we kept praying for her, believing that God would heal her. One day, I had just returned from a trip when I saw a woman rolling on the floor. When she looked up, I saw that it was my wife’s friend, and she said, “It’s me, Daddy. I can talk again.”
Beloved, you cannot receive the kind of miracle in the story above and not testify. That is the kind of miracle that will make everyone around you acknowledge that only God could have made it happen. When the Light of the World visits a person, that fellow will not be able to keep his or her mouth shut. The Samaritan woman in today’s Bible reading became an evangelist the moment she encountered the Light. She went into her city, telling everyone to come and see the Light. You cannot have the Light and hide it under a bushel (Matthew 5:15).
The Light doesn’t only come with blessings and miracles; He also comes with assignments and responsibilities. After the madman of Gadara was delivered in Mark 5:2-20, Jesus gave him an assignment to tell others about his miracle. A fellow cannot come into the Light and continue to live a purposeless life. In the Light, you are commissioned to do God’s will. After the madman’s deliverance, he went everywhere telling people, “I was once a madman living in tombs, but I met the Light. Now, I am an evangelist.” Likewise, when the Light found Peter, he became a fisher of men. When Paul came into this glorious Light, he became a renowned missionary, taking the gospel everywhere. You cannot come into the Light and remain idle. The Light empowers people to go into the world and preach the gospel to all creatures (Mark 16:15).
Beloved, wherever you go, God wants you to shine His light. Make it your life’s mission to tell everyone you come across about the marvellous Light that has set you free. I pray for you today that the Light will visit you and give you a testimony that you won’t be able to hide. You will tell a new story and sing a new song, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT
Today, tell someone about something Jesus has done for you. Shine the Light of Jesus for others to see.
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.
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!”

TOPIC – When There Is Light (2)
MEMORISE: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. – John 8:12 (KJV)
READ: Mark 5:2-20 (KJV)
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 5-7
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Light is powerful; it impacts everything it touches. For example, when the sun shines on the Earth, everything under its rays experiences its heat. Likewise, when the light of God shines over you, it will touch every aspect of your life, and your story will change for good. The man Jesus healed in John 9:1-27 must have been a subject of mockery before his healing, but when he encountered the Light, he became a celebrity, as many people wanted to hear his story. If you have not encountered Jesus and given your life to Him, I implore you to do so today, so that He can also change your story for the better.
Sometimes, however, people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus may still face certain negative circumstances, and these may make them a subject of mockery. This is because many people tend to think that something must be wrong with a believer who is facing challenges. Mockers may ask such believers, “You have been serving God all this while, but why is your life like this?” Some believers might even find themselves in situations where people describe them by the problems they are going through. For example, even though Jesus opened the eyes of Bartimaeus over 2,000 years ago (Mark 10:46-52), many people still call him ‘Blind Bartimaeus’ because they associate him with his problem. In the name above every other name, whatever might be causing people to ask, “Where is your God?” will cease to exist in your life, and your story will change for the better.
In today’s Bible reading, just one word from the Light transformed the life of the man from Gadara. His story changed from that of a person who was possessed by a legion of demons into that of a man whom Jesus would send to tell people about his miraculous encounter with the Light. When the Light comes, people’s stories change for the better; the blind begin to see, the sick get healed, the lame begin to walk, the barren become fruitful, and the poor begin to experience abundance.
Beloved, I am a living testimony that the Light of the world never leaves people the way He meets them. He transforms their lives for the better and gives them everlasting testimonies. I pray that you will have an encounter with Jesus, the light of the world, and He will give you a new story to tell, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Lord, please visit me with Your light and change my story for the better in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 25 – The Great Physician Now Is Near
1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]
3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus. [Refrain]

TOPIC – When There Is Light (1)
MEMORISE: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. – Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 8:1-4 (KJV)
1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 1-4
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Jesus is the Light (John 8:12), and whenever He touches a person or a place, a miraculous transformation occurs. In John 9:1-7, Jesus spat on the ground, made some mud, and used it to anoint a blind man’s eyes. When Jesus touched the mud, it became anointed, and the anointing destroyed the yoke of blindness in the man’s life. I decree that the light of God will shine upon you and break any yoke that might be in your life, in Jesus’ name.
The leper in today’s Bible reading knew that Jesus had the anointing to destroy the yoke of leprosy in his life, and as Jesus touched him, the yoke was destroyed. No matter how long a yoke has been in a fellow’s life, when God’s light shines on the fellow, it will be destroyed permanently.
Years ago, a woman forced her way through protocol officers to meet me just after I finished preaching at a programme in Kaduna, a town in Northern Nigeria. When I asked her what the problem was, she said that she had never seen anyone preach the way I did. She then said that since she knew I would be leaving soon, she wanted to share her secret with me because she knew it would be safe with me. At that moment, she uncovered a part of her skin, and I saw that she was a leper. I asked her why she didn’t go to the hospital, and she stated that she had many children to cater for, and if she visited a hospital, she would be sent to the leper’s colony. I then asked her why she didn’t ask the pastors in her church to pray for her, and she said that if they prayed for her and she didn’t get healed, her secret would be exposed. I prayed for her, and the following year, I was back in the same church. As I arrived and stepped out of the car, a beautiful lady approached me with a big smile. She introduced herself as the leper I prayed for the previous year and said, “Your God touched me, and I’m healed.”
Beloved, when God’s light touches you, you will experience transformation and healing in any area of your life where there is darkness, stagnancy, or confusion. Jesus Christ is the Light, and I pray that He will touch everything that concerns you and cause a positive transformation in your life, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please let Your light shine on me and remove anything that is not of You in my life, in Jesus’ name.
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.
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?
