MEMORISE: Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; – 2 Corinthians 4:1 (KJV)
READ: Isaiah 40:27-31 (KJV)
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 6-8
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Yesterday, I encouraged you not to give up on your God-given dreams. Today, I would like to show you that even if it appears as if your dreams can no longer come to pass, God can revive and restore them by His mercy.
In Matthew 4:12, Jesus promised to make Peter a fisher of men if he followed Him. Peter followed Jesus for three and a half years, but after Jesus was crucified, he returned to fishing. Thankfully, Jesus Christ, in His infinite mercy, visited him in John 21:15-17 and restored him to the path of his destiny by telling him, “Peter, feed my lambs.” Then, on the Day of Pentecost, as described in Acts 2:1-4, the Holy Spirit descended upon Peter and the others who were with him. The failed fisherman suddenly became someone who won 3,000 souls to Christ after one sermon (Acts 2:41). Before long, the same Peter was speaking boldly to the rulers of the land (Acts 4:8-13), and his shadow was healing the sick (Acts 5:15-16). If God could bring Peter back to the path of fulfilling his destiny, He can do the same for anyone who has given up on his or her dreams.
At some points in our lives, we all feel weak and weary. I have also observed that people tend to feel tired and are often tempted to give up when they are on the verge of fulfilling their dreams. Don’t let weariness or any sort of temptation make you abandon your dreams. Instead, at such points, cry out to God for mercy to uphold you and help you not to give up. Isaiah 40:29 says that He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might, He increases strength. In 2 Corinthians 4:1, Paul said that as we receive mercy, we faint not. Mercy can keep you from fainting and giving up. It will keep you from turning your back on everything you have worked hard for at the edge of your breakthrough. Never allow weariness to overcome you; it was weariness that led Esau to despise his birthright (Genesis 25:29-34), and many still fall into similar costly mistakes today.
Beloved, do you feel tired and ready to give up? Cry to God for mercy. Ask Him for guidance, strength, and all the help you need to fulfil His will for your life. His mercy will uphold you until you fulfil your destiny, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please let Your mercy empower me to keep going and not give up, 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]

MEMORISE: For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. – Proverbs 23:18 (KJV)
READ: Genesis 41:37-44 (KJV)
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 4-5
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Joseph is a good example of someone who never gave up despite the grave challenges that came his way. In Genesis 37:5-23, he had great dreams, but when he shared them with his brothers, they felt threatened. They conspired to kill him, but eventually agreed to sell him into slavery. This, however, did not distract Joseph. He knew he was destined for greatness, so he worked diligently until he became a leader among his fellow slaves. Then, the wife of his master tried to seduce him, and he refused her advances because he did not want to offend the God who gave him those great dreams (Genesis 39:9). He knew that as long as he didn’t offend God, he would achieve his dreams. Later, the wife of his master lied against him, and he ended up in prison, where he also became a leader among his fellow prisoners. Eventually, after many years, God took him prisoners. from being a prisoner to becoming the Prime Minister of Egypt within a single day. One single move from God made his dreams become a reality. If God could promote a prisoner to such an exalted position, He can take you to any height you desire.
In 1981, when I first became the General Overseer of the RCCG, I visited one of the few parishes we had in Lagos at the time. During my visit, a woman came to one of the programmes we held after it had concluded because she thought it was an evening programme. When she came, I had left; therefore, she fell on the ground crying, “God, now I know You don’t want me to have a child.” She had told herself that all she needed to do was set her eyes on the man of God, and she would conceive. When people asked her why she was crying, she explained, and they told her where I would be the next day. The next morning, she came to the venue I was in, and as soon as I got up to preach, she looked at me and said, “God, thank You.” That month, she became pregnant because her faith touched God. She didn’t give up on what she wanted.
Beloved, don’t give up. God’s word to you will surely come to pass. If you hold on to the promises He has given you and continue to follow His leading, He will bring your dreams to a place of fulfilment according to His will, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
As long as you stay in faith and do not give up on your God-given dreams, they will come to pass.
HYMN 30 – When We Walk With The Lord
1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
and the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.
[Refrain]
3 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we’ll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]

TOPIC – Accelerated And Extraordinary Promotions
MEMORISE: For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: – 1 Corinthians 1:26 (KJV)
READ: Joshua 1:1-9 (KJV)
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 1-3
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
The word ‘minister in the olden days basically referred to a servant who ran all sorts of errands for his or her master. Such errands would often include emptying and washing the master’s chamber pot, doing the master’s laundry, washing his feet, and the like.
While Moses was alive, Joshua was his minister, so you can imagine how shocking it must have been for the latter when God informed him that he was to become the leader of Israel after his master’s demise. This is a good example of an accelerated and extraordinary promotion. The promotion was so sudden that Joshua became very anxious over the weight of his new responsibility. I know this because in today’s Bible reading, God had to tell him three times to be strong and of good courage. I decree today that God will promote you in such a manner, in Jesus’ name.
Whenever I see people struggling for promotion and desiring to be in leadership positions, I know it is because they do not understand God’s ways. God never gives accelerated and extraordinary promotions to the wise or the qualified. He never gives it to those who think they are brilliant enough to explain the scientific permutations behind His workings. He always uses the foolish and weak things to confound the wise and mighty things (1 Corinthians 1:27). Therefore, people who think they are strong and wise enough to work out their promotion should not expect accelerated and extraordinary promotions from God because He only accelerates the promotion of those who will never take His glory for themselves.
On the day my wife and I got married at the marriage registry, we met a lady there who was dressed in a wedding gown. However, she wasn’t with her groom; the man had abandoned her. The lady nearly ran mad, but she survived. After some time, she married a soldier. Unknown to her, the man who jilted her on their wedding day also joined the army. Then God moved. A military coup occurred, and her husband was made a military governor. Incidentally, the man who jilted her was assigned as her husband’s aide-de-camp. Thus, anytime she wanted to enter a car, it was her former husband-to-be who would open the door for her since she was the wife of a military governor.
Beloved, I decree today that God will accelerate your promotion, and all those who have been mocking you will be confounded, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
God only accelerates the promotion of those who will not take His glory for themselves.
