MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 15 February 2025 Saturday Daily Devotional
In 1 Samuel 7:12, when Samuel said ‘Ebenezer’, which means ‘thus far hath the Lord helped us’, he knew what he was talking about. He knew that God had helped Israel in Exodus 12:1-51 when He humbled Pharaoh, their oppressor, and set His children free. In the name above every other name, every force that has been holding you down will let you go. If they don’t want to let you go gently, they will release you by force, in Jesus’ name.
Samuel knew that God had helped Israel to cross the Red Sea in Exodus 14. He knew that the Lord spoke through Moses and told him that they would never see the enemies they had seen that night again. He knew that God had helped them in Exodus 15:22-26 when they got to Marah, and they couldn’t drink the water because it was bitter. The Lord had prepared help ahead of time and He turned the bitter water to sweet. Whatever has been causing you to weep will end now, in Jesus’ name.
Samuel also knew that God had helped Israel in Exodus 17:1-6 when they were thirsty; the Almighty God brought water out of the rock. He brought something good out of nothing. Things may be hard right now for many people, but I have good news for you; this year, you will experience God’s help more than ever before, in Jesus’ name.
Ebenezer signifies hope. I don’t know how far the journey is, but everything is going to be alright. As long as you are connected to the God who has brought you thus far, He will keep helping you. Ecclesiastes 9:4 says that as long as you are still breathing, there is hope for you. God has not brought you this far to abandon you. He is too faithful to leave you now.
Are you discouraged, sad, or anxious for a breakthrough? Lay your fears, anxieties, and sorrows down, and put on the garment of hope because Ebenezer is here; He has come to help you. Hebrews 13:5-6 says:
…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Anyone who trusts in Ebenezer will laugh at last because His help never fails. Begin to laugh and rejoice because your help has come.

Open Heavens 15 February 2025 Saturday Hymn
HYMN 5 – Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine!
1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angel descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3 Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
