TOPIC – You Need The Holy Spirit
MEMORISE: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. – Acts 1:8 (KJV)
READ: Judges 15:12-17, Judges 16:16-21 (KJV)
Judges 15:12-17
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Judges 16:16-21
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 8-9
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Human strength is insufficient to accomplish the work of God. Anyone who attempts to do God’s work by his or her strength will end up being frustrated. Zechariah 4:6 says:
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
When the Holy Spirit is with a fellow, difficult things become easy. In Jeremiah 1:4-10, God told Jeremiah that He had ordained him as a prophet even before he was born. However, Jeremiah thought he could carry out divine assignments by his own strength, so he said, “Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.” The Lord then rebuked him and told him, “Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” Beloved, when the Lord gives you an assignment, rest assured that He will empower you with the strength and resources you need to carry it out. All you have to do is to trust Him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
In the Bible reading for today, the Holy Spirit came upon Samson, and he single-handedly slew one thousand men with the jawbone of an ass. However, later on in Judges 16:16-21, the same Samson was captured by the Philistines, had his eyes gouged out, and was bound with iron fetters because the Holy Spirit had departed from him. I pray that the Holy Spirit will not depart from your life, in Jesus’ name.
Today’s memory verse says that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power. The power of the Holy Spirit in you will then enable you to take the gospel of Christ even to the uttermost parts of the earth. You also need to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength, especially in the place of prayer. Romans 8:26 says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” I pray that the Holy Spirit will strengthen and empower you to do great exploits for the kingdom of God, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS –
Holy Spirit, I need You now and always. Please, empower me!
HYMN 8 – I Need Thee Every Hour
1 I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Chorus:
I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Ev’ry hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Saviour
I come to Thee!
2 1 need Thee every hour
Stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.
4 l need Thee every hour
Teach me Thy will,
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
5 1 need Thee every hour
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!

TOPIC – Divine Repositioning (2)
MEMORISE: And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. – Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 17:1-9 (KJV)
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 6-7
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
When God’s time to reposition a fellow comes, such a person will not have to worry about his or her enemies because the King of kings Himself will handle them. In 1 Kings 19:1-8, after God repositioned Elijah on the same Mount Horeb where He repositioned Moses, Elijah never ran from anyone again. In fact, as 1 Kings 21:20-24 reveals, he boldly approached the king of Israel to inform him about God’s judgment.
God often repositions people so they can see far. When you are on a mountain top, for instance, you will be able to see farther than someone in a valley. If you have ever been on a plane, you will discover that the higher it goes, the farther you can see. When you are on the ground, houses, trees, and other objects will block your view, but as you go higher, you will see more objects and things. In Genesis 13:14-17, God made it clear to Abraham that he could have everything he could see. Then, He instructed him not to stand in one spot, but to walk the length and breadth of the land, and He would give him whatever he could see.
At times, when God repositions a person, He does that so that the person can see the unusual. He does that so that the person can see what He is about to make available for him or her. In today’s Bible reading, the Lord took three of His disciples with Him to the Mount of Transfiguration to see what ordinary eyes could not see. They saw the Lord transfigured, and they also saw Moses and Elijah, who had been dead for hundreds of years. They saw what ordinary eyes could not see because the Lord repositioned them to a mountaintop.
In Mark 5:35-43, when the Lord Jesus Christ wanted to show Peter, James, and John how to raise the dead, he repositioned them. When He and His disciples arrived at Jairus’ house, He kept the others outside and only allowed the three of them to follow Him inside; the three disciples witnessed how He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead. Years later, in Acts 9:36-42, when Peter was about to raise Dorcas from the dead, he followed the example set before him by the Lord.
Beloved, God wants to reposition you to a mountaintop, and that mountaintop is a place of closer communion with Him. Are you ready for this repositioning?
PRAYER POINTS –
Father, please reposition me so that I can see and experience more of Your blessings.
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.

TOPIC – Divine Repositioning (1)
MEMORISE: Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. – Job 10:12 (KJV)
READ: Exodus 2:11-23 (KJV)
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 4-5
Open Heaven For Today 2026 MESSAGE
To be repositioned means that a fellow had previously been in a particular position until something happened that led to the fellow being removed from that position before being reinstated to his or her original position. Naturally, this is how people are repositioned. When God wants to reposition a person, however, He will remove the circumstances and/or people that caused the person to lose his or her position and place the person on a higher level.
Today’s Bible reading reveals that Moses became a fugitive due to an incident. He had gone to see his brethren in Egypt, and while he was there, he saw one of them being tormented by an Egyptian and decided to help. In the process, he killed the Egyptian and buried him. The following day, he saw two of his brethren fighting, and he said, “If the enemy is tormenting one of you, we can understand. How can the two of you be tormenting each other?” Then, one of them replied, “Who made you a judge over us? Do you want to kill me the same way you killed that Egyptian yesterday?” Fear gripped Moses as it dawned on him that what he thought was hidden had been exposed, so he fled from Egypt and remained a fugitive for 40 years because Pharaoh wanted to kill him. When the time for his repositioning came, however, Pharaoh died. I pray that God will deal with anyone or anything that has been making life unbearable for you, in Jesus’ name.
When God repositions you, the next thing you should expect is divine visitation. After Moses ran from Pharaoh, he went to Midian, where he became a shepherd. One day, He moved the cattle he was looking after to Mount Horeb. Typically, grass grows well on plains for goats and sheep to graze on, but because God wanted to do a new thing in Moses’ life, He led him to find pasture for the cattle on a mountain (Exodus 3:1). When the Almighty God wanted to reposition Moses, He ordered his steps to a mountain for an encounter. Similarly, when He wants to reposition you, He will visit you and take you to a higher vantage point where you can experience more of His glory and see things more clearly. I pray that the Lord will reposition you for greatness before the end of this year, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS –
Dear Lord, in any area of my life I am misaligned with Your will, please visit me and reposition me for greatness, 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.
