MESSAGE – Open Heavens 26 June 2024 Wednesday Daily Devotional
In John 20:21, Jesus Christ said, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” In Matthew 10:40, He said, “He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” The work of ministry is an assignment from the Father, so when you are called to do something, you can be sure that God Himself is backing you up.
In John 5:30, Jesus, “I can of my own self do nothing”… “This is good because whatever you are too do for God, you cant do it by yourself, but the Father who sent you will back you up. It is good news because all you have o do is tell Him, “I can’t do it Lord, but I know you can do it through me.” There is something called ‘the God factor’. Let God do it; however, He can only do it if you are willing to cooperate.
If you believe He can do it, He will do it. If you believe that He can use you to heal the sick, you will have to pay the price, and then, He will produce the results. Whatever assignment God gives you that seems impossible, talk to Him, do your art, and He will yield results through you.
In Yoruba land, one of the names we call God is Oronmonise faya ti. It means that one who sends a child on an assignment, He stays with you and empowers you to ensure that you fulfil the assignment. Many people don’t fulfil their assignments because they hardly go to God for instructions. They start the work quite alright, but they hardly pray for direction, whereas it is in the place of prayers that God will give them instructions on each step to take.
They keep doing everything to make the work succeed, but when it is time to make decision, they don’t ask God for the best decisions, they don’t ask God decisions to make. After a while, when they realize that they are not fulfilling the assignment, they realize that they are not fulfilling the assignment, they accuse Him of helping others and not helping them.
Beloved, You cannot do anything by yourself (John 15:5). The work God has given you to o cannot be done by your power or might but by His Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). If you really want to fulfill destiny, don’t lean on your understanding; lean on God.

Open Heavens 26 June 2024 Wednesday Hymn
HYMN 28: Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but you are mighty;
hold me with your powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore,
feed me now and evermore.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
where the healing waters flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
ever be my strength and shield,
ever be my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell’s Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever sing to you,
I will ever sing to you.
