RCCG Open Heaven 31 October 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – HE IS IN CHARGE I
Topic: HE IS IN CHARGE I
Memorise:
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
— Job 37:6 (KJV)
Read: Mark 4:36-41 (KJV)
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
RCCG Open Heavens 31 October 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Some years ago, I was invited to a very important meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA. The meeting was scheduled to take place in January, and Denver is typically very cold during the first month of the year due to its winter season. As I prayed concerning the meeting, I asked God, "Daddy, should I go?" He replied, "Go." Then, I asked, "What are we going to do about the winter?" He replied, "Don't worry about that."
I spent three days in Denver, and during that time, people were wearing t-shirts because summer arrived suddenly. After I left Denver at 5pm on the third day, 12.5 centimetres of snow covered the city by 6pm. God suspended the winter so that His work could be done, and after it was completed, He released the snow to continue its course.
God is in charge of nature; He rules the world and everything in it. Today's memory verse says that He talks to the snow. He tells the snow and the rain when to fall on the earth. God can decide to withhold the rain or snow from the earth or release it. He can suspend the laws of nature to fulfil His agenda and release them when His work is done. Psalm 148:8 says that fire, hail, snow, vapour, and even stormy winds fulfil His word. There is no wind that is too fierce that God cannot silence. There is no fire that is too wild that He cannot quench.
In today's Bible reading, Jesus was in a ship with His disciples when a great storm arose. The wind was so fierce that the experienced fishermen among Jesus' disciples knew that they were in grave danger. They probably did all they could professionally, but nothing worked. As a last resort, they ran to Jesus. When they woke Him, He showed them that He was in charge, as He arose and rebuked the wind.
Beloved, unlike Jesus' disciples in today's Bible reading, never make God your last resort when it comes to situations in your life; rather, you must always put Him first. When you give God complete control over the affairs of your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance that comes to challenge you. I decree that every contrary wind or situation that comes against you will submit to the supremacy of the Almighty God and cooperate with you, in Jesus' name.
Prayer Point:
Father, I acknowledge that You are in charge of all things. Please take full control of every situation in my life, in Jesus' name.
Bible in One Year:
Luke 23-24
Hymn: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Verse 1:
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Join ye in glad adoration!
Verse 2:
Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Verse 3:
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
Verse 4:
Praise to the Lord—O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
