MEMORISE: For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1 Corinthians 1:26

READ: Joshua 1:1-9 Open Heavens 10 September 2026

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 1-3

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 10 September 2026 Thursday Daily Devotional

The word minister in the olden days basically referred to a servant who ran all sorts of errands for his or her master. Such errands would often include emptying and washing the master’s chamber pot, doing the master’s laundry, washing his feet, and the like.

While Moses was alive, Joshua was his minister, so you can imagine how shocking it must have been for the latter when God informed him that he was to become the leader of Israel after his master’s demise. This is a good example of an accelerated and extraordinary promotion. The Promotion was so sudden that Joshua became very anxious over the weight of his new responsibility. I know this because in today’s Bible reading, God had to tell him three times to be strong and of good courage. I decree today that God will promote you in such a manner, in Jesus’ name.

Whenever I see people struggling for promotion and desiring to be in leadership positions, I know it is because they do not understand God’s ways. God never gives accelerated and extraordinary promotions to the wise or the qualified. He never gives it to those who think they are brilliant enough to explain the scientific permutations behind His workings. He always uses the foolish and weak things to confound the wise and mighty things (1 Corinthians 1:27). Therefore, people who think they are strong and wise enough to work out their promotion should not expect accelerated and extraordinary promotions from God because He only accelerates the promotion of those who will never take His glory for themselves.

On the day my wife and I got married at the marriage registry, we met a lady there who was dressed in a wedding gown. However, she wasn’t with her groom; the man had abandoned her. The lady nearly ran mad, but she survived.

After some time, she married a soldier. Unknown to her, the man who jilted her on their wedding day also joined the army. Then God moved. A military coup occurred, and her husband was made a military governor. Incidentally, the man who jilted her was assigned as her husband’s aide-de- camp. Thus, anytime she wanted to enter a car, it was her former husband-to-be who would open the door for her since she was the wife of a military governor.

Beloved, I decree today that God will accelerate your promotion, and all those who have been mocking you will be confounded, in Jesus’ name.

Key Point – Open Heavens 10 September 2026

God only accelerates the promotion of those who will not take His glory for themselves.

Open Heavens 10 September 2026 Thursday Hymn

Hymn 15: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav’n but Thee?

Prayer Points for Open Heavens 10 September 2026 – Accelerated and Extraordinary Promotions

1. Father, I thank You for being the God who promotes the humble and lifts up the lowly. Thank You for the promise of accelerated and extraordinary promotion for those who trust in You, in Jesus’ name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have sought promotion through my own wisdom, strength, or connections, rather than trusting in Your divine timing and sovereignty, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, I receive the grace to remain humble before You, so that You can trust me with accelerated and extraordinary promotion, in Jesus’ name.

4. Lord, just as You promoted Joshua from being Moses’ minister to the leader of Israel, I pray for a sudden and accelerated promotion in my career, ministry, and destiny, in Jesus’ name.

5. Father, help me to be like Joshua—faithful, courageous, and obedient to Your word, so that I can be positioned for extraordinary promotion, in Jesus’ name.

6. Lord, I pray against every spirit of fear, anxiety, and intimidation that comes with new levels of responsibility. Let me be strong and of good courage, knowing that You are with me wherever I go, in Jesus’ name.

7. Father, I pray that every enemy who has mocked me, abandoned me, or despised me will be confounded as You accelerate my promotion, in Jesus’ name.
