TOPIC: The Fire of God
MEMORISE:-"And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly". Exodus 19:18
READ: Acts 2:3-4 (KJV)
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 1-3
Open Heaven For Today 2023 MESSAGE
In Judges 15:14-15, the Bible tells us that when they brought Samson to the Philistines, as soon as they began to rejoice, the Spirit of God came in the form of an invisible fire, causing the ropes that bound him to be burned off.
Because the fire came on him, he took the jawbone of an ass, and it became a weapon of mass destruction in his hands.
When you are anointed, everything you touch comes into contact with the anointing.
Mark 5:25-29 tells us of healing through the Lord’s garment.
Acts 5:14-16 tells us that even Peter’s shadow was healing the sick. Acts 19:11-12 tells us that Paul’s handkerchiefs and aprons were healing the sick.
You need the fire of God, and you can get it today.
God’s fire is available because, in Matthew 3:11, the promise is that Jesus Christ will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. If you get the fire of God, your life will be transformed for good.
With the fire of God on you, you can heal incurable diseases and win souls to the kingdom more easily than ever before.
You don’t only need the fire of God to heal the sick, you also need it against the enemy.
Judges 14:5-6 tells us that Samson was going to Timnath when, all of a sudden, a lion roared at him.
The fire of God came on him, and he tore the lion to pieces.
You need the fire in case the enemy roars, then you can tell him, “I am more than ready for you.”
As you grow in the Lord, there is bound to be resistance from the enemy, and you will need the fire of God to uproot obstacles to the work of the Lord.
John 4:48 says that some people will not believe the word of God unless they see signs and wonders.
These signs and wonders can only happen when you have been baptised with the fire of God.
I have been privileged to win many great and influential people to Christ because of the mighty miracles they saw God performing through me.
I am going to ask you to cry to God to be baptised with the heavenly fire today so that your life will be filled with signs and wonders.
Working for God and bearing abiding fruits for the kingdom will become even easier.
Prayer Point
For at least one hour today, cry to God for the baptism of fire. Beyond today, make this one of your major prayer points daily.
HYMN 1:– All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

the wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
and crown Him Lord of all.
8 Let every tribe and every tongue
before Him prostrate fall,
And shout in universal song,
and crown him Lord of all.
And shout in universal song,
and crown him Lord of all.
Open Heaven For Today 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Anointed Hands
Click HERE for Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: Anointed Hands
MEMORISE:-"Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them." Luke 4:40
READ:Exodus 17:8-13 (KJV)
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 23-24
Open Heaven For Today 2023 MESSAGE
When you see a man of God laying hands on people, and they get healed, it is because those hands have been in contact with the fire of God.
Ordinary hands become anointed once they come in contact with the fire of God.
In Exodus 3, when Moses threw his rod on the holy ground, it became a serpent, and the Lord asked him to pick the serpent up by the tail.
As Moses bent to pick up the serpent, his own hands also brushed the ground that the fire had touched.
From that day on, his hands became special.
In Exodus 17:8-13, we see those hands deciding the outcome of a war between Israel and the Amalekites.
Every time he lifted his hands, Israel won, but when his hands got heavy and were going down, the Amalekites began to win.
Aaron and Hur were with him, they had four hands combined, but they knew that Moses’ hands, which had touched the holy ground, were different from ordinary hands.
So, rather than lift their own hands, they helped Moses keep his hands up.
In Exodus 14:16, God said to Moses:
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
God had anointed Moses’ hands, so He ordered him to stretch them over the Red Sea to divide it.
So, in Exodus 14:21, when Moses stretched out his hands over the sea, it had no choice but to part into two. In Deuteronomy 34:9, those hands also transmitted wisdom into Joshua.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
The power of God turns the ordinary into extraordinary.
If you read John 9:1-7, where Jesus saw a man who was born blind, He spat on the ground, made some mud out of it and anointed the blind man’s eyes.
Ordinary mud can become anointed mud; it all depends on whose hands the mud is in.
Your hands can also become anointed today, but first, they must be holy hands.
Psalms 24:3-4 says that only those who have holy hands can ascend into the hill of the Lord where they can come in contact with the fire of God.
Reflection
Do you have holy hands? The fire of God can only rest on holy hands.
HYMN 24:– That wonderful Name
1 That wonderful Name, Jesus!
That wonderful Name, Jesus!
That wonderful Name, Jesus!
There is no other name I know.
2 The Great Redeemer, Jesus!
His blood washed me clean, Jesus!
And now I am saved, Jesus!
There is no other name I know
3 The Great Physician, Jesus!
His stripes health me, Jesus!
And now I am whole, Jesus!
There is no other name I know.
4 The Great Lord of host, Jesus!
His truth set me free, Jesus!
I am free indeed, Jesus!
There is no other name I know.
5 The Great Provider, Jesus!
He supplies my needs, Jesus!
And now I am full, Jesus!
There is no other name I know.
6 My Great Companion, Jesus!
Always by my side, Jesus!
I have a sure Friend, Jesus!
There is no other name I know.
7 The Soon Coming King, Jesus!
Coming back for me, Jesus!
I will reign with Him, Jesus!
There is no other Name I know.
8 Let us praise His Name, Jesus!
Name above all names, Jesus!
Let us shout His Name, Jesus!
I will sing I will shout, JESUS!
Open Heaven For Today 2024 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – When Fire Falls
Click HERE for Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: When Fire Falls
MEMORISE:-"And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD". Leviticus 10:2
READ: Leviticus 10:1-5 (KJV)
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 21-22
Open Heaven For Today 2023 MESSAGE
When you are in a service, and everyone is praying that fire should fall, you must beware, because when the fire of God falls, some people die, and some others rejoice.
When the fire of God falls, those who do not belong to Him are consumed, while those who belong to Him are empowered.
In Daniel 3:19-30, when they threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fire, their yokes were destroyed by the fire, they walked out of the fire into promotion, but those who were not on the side of the Lord that got close to that fire were consumed.
Some years ago, as I was preaching during a service, the fire of God fell. While people were getting their healings, a woman ran out of the service.
From outside the hall, she beckoned on the fellow she came with to bring her bag so that she could go home.
Surprised, the fellow asked her why she couldn’t come in to get her bag herself, and she said that there was fire in the place and she couldn’t come in for fear of being burnt.
When the fire of God comes down, while it brings healings and promotions to God’s children, it can destroy those who are not on the Lord’s side.
So, before you join those who are asking for fire to fall, if you are not already on God’s side, please cross over.
I should also note that sometimes, the fire of God comes down unexpectedly in the middle of a service. Even the preacher may be unaware that God is about to rain down fire.
When the fire falls, only those who are on Christ’s side will be safe.
The reason I chose the passage in our Bible reading for today is that I want to speak particularly to those who are workers in the church and who are still dipping their hands into sin.
Surrender your life completely to the Lord Jesus Christ because if you are standing by when the fire begins to fall, and you are not on the Lord’s side, the result might not be very pleasant.
God usually gives room for repentance, but that is until His fire falls. The day the fire falls is the day of consequences – there is no repentance after that.
Many are nursing diseases and other terrible issues because when the fire of God fell, they were not on His side.
Prayer Point
Father, please forgive me of every sin I have committed against You. Please help me to be on Your side at all times, in Jesus’ name.
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 might of His power our strength to renew,
Let us do by His grace what He calls us to do.
Work for Him by His grace;
Work thru Him for His praise;
Work with Him all the days;
And work in Him in many ways.
2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the thirsty be led;
In the cross and its vict’ry our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, “Salvation is free!”
3 To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
By the pow’r of His Name, with the light of His Word,
All the slaves of the darkness of Satan set free
And His riches of grace in His glory we’ll see.

TOPIC: A Brush With Fire
MEMORISE:-"And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." Exodus 3:5
READ: Exodus 3:1-5 (KJV)
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 18-20
Open Heaven For Today 2023 MESSAGE
In 1 Kings 19:19, as Elijah was passing by Elisha, he cast his mantle upon him, and from that day, Elisha’s life never remained the same.
Anything that the Holy Spirit has touched has been touched by fire, and when fire touches something, it changes permanently.
Exodus 3:1-5 tells us that the fire of God touched the ground of that backside of the desert, and from that moment onward, God called it holy ground.
When Moses got there, God told him to take off his shoes because the ordinary soil He had touched had become holy ground.
Exodus 4:1-20 tells us how holy the ground was, because everything that touched that ground also changed permanently, such that in verse 20, the Bible says:
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
After the encounter with the fire of God, Moses left for Egypt, and amongst all the things he took, he took the rod of God. The ordinary rod of a shepherd had now become the rod of God because it touched the holy ground.
Some years ago, a woman fell so ill that the doctors said that there was nothing they could do to help her. Her children were advised to take her home so she could die with her family around her.
The woman told her children, “Don’t take me home; take me to the Redeemed Christian Church of God headquarters.” They told her, “Mama, but there is no service today. The pastor will not be there.”
She said,
“I didn’t say I want to go and see the pastor; just take me there.”
They took her to the church, but because she was very weak, she could not walk by herself, so she asked them to help her reach one of the pillars of the building.
The moment she got to the pillar and touched it, she became completely healed, and she walked back to the car herself.
She experienced a brush with the fire of God through her faith, and she became healed.
There is tremendous power in anything that has touched holy ground. Don’t just go for services casually, be conscious that you are going to a place of fire.
When you go to your local assembly, go with expectations, and you will experience great miracles in your life.
Prayer Point
Father, the next time I come into Your presence, please don’t let me go back home the same way I came, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 1:– All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name
1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!

the wormwood and the gall,
