RCCG Open Heaven 24 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – WEEP NOT
Topic: WEEP NOT
Memorise:
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
— Psalm 30:11 (KJV)
Read: Luke 7:11-16 (KJV)
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
RCCG Open Heaven 24 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Sometime ago, I was praying during a programme and God said, "Open your eyes." I was almost going to say, "Lord, but I'm praying"; however, I obeyed. As I opened my eyes, I saw a woman in the congregation, her face soaked in tears, weeping as she prayed. Then, God said, "Go and tell her, 'Weep not.'" I moved towards the congregation, approached her, and tapped her as I said, "God said, 'Weep not.'" Her eyes brightened, and I returned to the altar to continue praying. A year later, that same woman stood before me, along with some other people who wanted me to pray for them. When it was her turn for me to pray for her, I greeted her and said, "Sister, how can I help you?" She opened her mouth and could only mutter, "Jesus". I asked her a second time how I could help her, and she only said, "Jesus" again. I asked her a third time, and she said the same thing.
I began to get impatient because there were other people in the queue. Eventually, she got herself together, and she told me that she was the woman whom God sent me to tell not to weep the previous year. She then told me that she was crying that day because she had been married for over ten years without any children, and her husband's relatives were urging him to send her packing if she didn't give birth to any children soon. As she shared her story, I immediately understood why she found it difficult to speak at first; she was holding a baby in her right hand and another in her left. God turned her seemingly hopeless situation into an occasion for rejoicing. I pray that God will turn any seemingly hopeless situation that might exist in your life around and fill your mouth with laughter, in Jesus' name.
Beloved, if you have surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, my Daddy is saying to you today, "Weep not," just like Jesus said to the widow of Nain in today's Bible reading. Every time Jesus says, "Weep not," it is because He wants to perform a miracle. No matter how long you may have been weeping, your time of rejoicing has come. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will surely come in the morning (Psalm 30:5). I decree that your days of rejoicing are here, in Jesus' name.
Prayer Point:
Father, thank You for putting an end to my weeping and for bringing me into my days of rejoicing.
Bible in One Year:
Nahum 1-3
Hymn 27: What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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 thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
