TOPIC – Ministers Of Light (1)
MEMORISE: The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. – Matthew 4:16 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 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.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 17-18
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Light is powerful. It drives away darkness and reveals whatever is hidden. In John 9:5, Jesus said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 1:4-5 also says, “In him was life; and the life was the light and of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” These Scriptures confirm that Jesus is the Light. However, in Matthew 5:14, the same Jesus said to His disciples, “Ye are the light of the world…” God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19); hence, if Jesus says His disciples are the light of this world, if you are His disciple, then you are light.
James 1:17 tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from God, who is the Father of lights. If our Father is the Light, then His children must be light. God expects you to shine, and in today’s Bible reading, He commands you to let your light shine so that men will see your good works and give glory to Him.
As a child of God, you are a minister of light, and this means that you must shine. God has called you an able minister of the new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6); therefore, your life must reveal God’s glory and grace. In John 14:12, Jesus said that those who believe in Him will do the works He did and even surpass them by doing greater works.
When the light of God shines in a place, impossibilities become possible. We can see this in the life of Jesus Christ; wherever He went, miracles, healings, and deliverance happened in abundance. In John 9:1-7, He gave sight to a man who was born blind. Likewise, in John 5:1-9, He healed a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. He also healed some lepers in Luke 17:11-19, as well as a man who was possessed by a legion of demons (Mark 5:1-20). The Bible says in Matthew 4:23-25 that Jesus’ fame spread throughout Syria because of the great miracles He was performing. People saw Him as the Light and were willing to follow Him wherever He went.
Beloved, as a child of God, light is your identity, and this light must shine so brightly that it eliminates every form of darkness around you. I pray that the light of God in you will never become hidden, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to walk in the fullness of my identity as light, in Jesus’ name.
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.

Open Heaven For Today 2026 Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Take Care Of Your Husband
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – Take Care Of Your Husband
MEMORISE: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. – Colossians 3:18 (KJV)
READ: Ephesians 5:22-24 (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 15-16
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
In today’s Bible reading, wives are instructed to submit to their own husbands in everything. Part of this submission entails helping them to fulfil their God-given assignment and taking care of their needs.
Wives are helpmeets (Genesis 2:18-22) and are required to cater to their husbands’ spiritual, nutritional, and emotional needs. Wives can care for their husbands spiritually by always praying for them. A good wife should also cater to her husband’s nutritional needs. It is not good for a man to be hungry and not be fed. Matthew 21:18-19 tells us that when Jesus was hungry, and He didn’t find food on a fig tree, He cursed the tree. An African proverb says a hungry man is an angry man. If you don’t feed your husband, you will always have an angry man at home.
Wives should also pay attention to their husbands’ sexual and emotional needs. Surprisingly, some wives move from one prayer mountain to another in search of a divine intervention that will make their husbands love them more than ever before, yet they neglect their husbands’ needs. If a woman honours her husband and sees to it that she caters to his spiritual, nutritional, and sexual needs, all other things being equal, she will not need to be jumping from one prayer mountain to the other to seek his love. When a husband’s needs are well catered to by his wife, all other things being equal, he will love and bless her from the bottom of his heart (Proverbs 31:28).
Some wives are very respectful towards their bosses at work and pastors in church but disrespect their husbands. Such actions do not please God. Today’s memory verse states that wives should submit to their husbands in a way that is fitting unto the Lord. This means that there is a kind of ‘submission’ that is not fitting unto the Lord. When a wife submits to her husband in one area and hides other things from him because of her selfish ambitions and desires, it is not fitting unto the Lord. Men generally have big egos, and a wife’s total submission to her husband caters to his emotional needs and makes him feel valued. When a wife refuses to submit to her husband, she is invariably saying that she doesn’t value him, and this is so terrible that it can cause her husband to develop low self-esteem.
If you are a wife, taking care of your husband is a God-given assignment; when you do it well, it will open doors of blessings to you.
KEY POINT
Wives should submit to their own husbands and take care of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
HYMN 28 – Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
Feed me now and evermore (2ce)
2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer! strong deliverer!
Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce)
3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises! songs of praises!
I will ever give to Thee (2ce)
4 Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love.
Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
Take Thy waiting people home (2ce)

Open Heaven For Today 2026 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Take Care Of Your Wife
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC – Take Care Of Your Wife
MEMORISE: Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. – Colossians 3:19 (KJV)
READ: Ephesians 5:25-29 (KJV)
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 13-14
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
One of the most important tasks for a husband is to take care of his wife because God has given her to him to nurture and protect her. Today’s Bible reading encourages husbands to love their wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. One of the ways a husband can show his wife that he loves her is by showering her with his attention and affection. If a husband loves his wife, he will not starve her sexually or neglect her needs.
In today’s memory verse, the Bible urges husbands to love their wives and not be bitter against them. This means that some situations will arise that will tempt husbands to become bitter against their wives. However, they must not fall for such temptations.
After some men have gotten married, they stop being intentional about their relationships with their wives. One of the ways a husband can take care of his wife is to keep the romance alive in their relationship. He should always tell her that he loves her, buy her gifts regularly, shower her with compliments privately and publicly, and thank her for the things she does for him. Isaac carried the same blessing as his father, Abraham, and was also a successful businessman. Yet, in Genesis 26:8, we read about him being romantic with his wife:
…Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
It is important for husbands to know that they must treat their wives well. If a husband is not treating his wife well, his prayers can become hindered. (1 Peter 3:7) says, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” If a husband takes care of his wife and makes her happy, it will also do him good. When a wife is happy with her husband, she will support him, and this can push him to achieve his goals faster. However, when the one who should be supporting her husband is not happy with him because he is neglecting or hurting her, his prayers will be hindered. A wise husband takes good care of his wife so he can obtain favour from God and live a blessed and peaceful life.
KEY POINT
Husbands should be intentional about giving their wives attention and showering them with affection
