TOPIC – Fervent Prayers
MEMORISE: But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. – Deuteronomy 4:29 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 15:22-28 (KJV)
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 11-12
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
There are different kinds of prayers, but often, the way people pray reveals the depth of their longing and how urgently they desire God’s intervention. Imagine a case where two critically injured people are in a hospital, and one says, “Oh, doctor, come and help me treat this wound,” and then brings out his or her phone to watch cartoons. Then, the other fellow screams out, “Doctor, I am in serious pain. Help me now!” Who do you think the doctor will attend to first? Definitely, the doctor will first attend to the one who screamed out loud for help.
Many people come to God’s presence casually, speaking ‘Queen’s English’, with ‘steeze and composure’, as the youths would say. However, some other people pray to God with their whole heart and strength, and, like Jacob in Genesis 32:26, they say, “Lord, I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
Sometimes, my friends abroad ask me why we experience so many miracles in Africa, while there are very few in the so-called civilised world. I tell them that it is simply because they believe that they have alternatives. When a person has no one else to talk to apart from God, he or she will know how to pray fervently. Also, if a fellow has an illness that has defied all forms of treatment, such a fellow will understand what it means to pray fervently.
James 5:16 says that the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous avail much. In today’s Bible reading, when the Canaanite woman asked Jesus to deliver her demon-possessed daughter, she cried unto Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David.” That woman was not casual about her prayers; she kept crying out to Jesus until she received a response. Likewise, in Mark 10:46-52, blind Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus with a loud voice, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” All attempts by people to shut him up proved unsuccessful, as he continued to call out to Jesus for help. Eventually, Jesus heard him, and he got his miracle.
Beloved, if anything is troubling you, cry unto God today with all your heart and soul, and He will hear you. Call upon Him with all your strength and humility, and He will grant your requests. He will, however, not listen to the prayers of a sinner who has refused to repent and forsake his or her sins (Isaiah 59:1-2).
ACTION POINT
If you are facing any challenge, pray fervently to God and ask Him to intervene in your situation.
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?

TOPIC – Always Seek His Help
MEMORISE: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. – Proverbs 3:6 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 118:5-14 (KJV)
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 9-10

I recall a time when my father was sitting in an armchair in front of the house, taking in the fresh air. I was also outside, playing football. Suddenly, I kicked the ball high, and it landed on the roof of the house. The roof of the house was thatched, so when the ball landed, it just stayed there. I then went to get a long stick to dislodge the ball from the roof. However, each time I tried to bring the ball down, it kept moving back, and I couldn’t see it because I was still a young boy with a small stature. After going at it for a while, I got tired. Then, I went to my father and said, “Daddy, please help me; my ball is on the roof.” My father then said, “You saw me sitting here, but you thought you could do it on your own”. Then, he got up and, in one attempt, he brought the ball down.
Beloved, if you do things your own way, God will not interfere in your matters. He doesn’t force Himself on people; He only helps those who genuinely need His help and ask for it. The popular saying that heaven helps those who help themselves doesn’t apply to God. It is a worldly slogan because God only helps those who are genuinely in need and humbly approach Him for help. Psalm 34:6 says:
“This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.”
Someone who is poor is genuinely in need of something. Such a person acknowledges God as the only One who can help him or her. In Revelation 3:14-17, the Lord scolded the Laodicean church for calling themselves rich when, indeed, they were poor, wretched, and blind. Those who think they can do it all by themselves are living in deceit. God will fold His arms and watch them struggle, and until they cry to Him for help, they will keep running around in circles. When babies stretch out their arms, it means that they are ready to be carried.
Beloved, open your arms wide today, and let God carry you. Involve Him in all you do so that you will not struggle to do the things He can help you do with ease.
PRAYER POINT
Dear Lord, please take control of every area of my life and grant me ease in all that I do.
HYMN 27 – What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge-
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

Open Heaven For Today 2026 Saturday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – No More Failure!

TOPIC – No More Failure!
MEMORISE: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. – 1 Corinthians 15:57 (KJV)
READ: Romans 8:31-37 (KJV)
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 7-8
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
There was a man who always faced setbacks every time he was close to having a breakthrough. Each time a breakthrough was about to happen in his life, something would truncate it. One day, he was informed that he had won a big contract and was instructed to collect his award letter in Abuja. He was so excited about this that he boarded a plane immediately and headed to Abuja. Unknown to him, the person in charge of the contract had changed his mind and given the contract to someone else. After receiving this news upon his arrival in Abuja, the man decided that he couldn’t bear it anymore. He surrendered his life to Jesus, and I prayed for him. The Lord had mercy on him, broke the yoke of failure in his life, and from then on, he began to record one breakthrough after another.
Beloved, God wants you to live in victory in all areas of your life. He also wants you to move from one level of success to another. Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” While following Jesus doesn’t exempt you from challenges, God’s plan is not for you to live under the shadow of defeat and failure.
I once met a boy who consistently failed all his exams, despite his parents being professors. If he moved from a class of 30 pupils to a class of 35 pupils, his position would move from 30th to 35th; he just couldn’t help it. His parents got him the best private tutors, yet he continued to fail. One day, his parents brought him to me, and we prayed together. In the next examination he wrote, he came first among his peers. The teachers were shocked, so he was asked to retake the examination. Surprisingly, he scored even higher than he did in his first attempt. Since then, failure has been banished from his life.
Beloved, are you experiencing recurring failure? If you are already born again or if you surrender your life to Jesus right now, I have good news for you: the Lord is more than able to deliver you from the cycle of failure. Call on Him for help today, and He will deliver you. He will show you what you must do to start succeeding, and as you do it, you will never know failure again.
PRAYER POINT
I decree that I will no longer experience failure and defeat in any area of my life, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 20 – I’m Pressing On The Upward Way
1 I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining ev’ry day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Refrain:
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith, on heaven’s tableland;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2 My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3 Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found,
By those who dwell on higher ground.
4 I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the flight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground
5 Lord, lead me up the mountain side,
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
