MEMORISE: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:79

READ: Acts 9:1-9 Open Heavens 16 September 2026

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hosea 10-14

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 16 September 2026 Wednesday Daily Devotional

In today’s Bible reading, a man called Saul of Tarsus, who had been persecuting the Church of Christ, was on his way to Damascus to arrest Christians and bring them back to Jerusalem to be thrown into prison. On the way to Damascus, however, Jesus Christ appeared to him, and he experienced a divine redirection. He had been on the wrong path, persecuting Christians and God’s work on the earth, but God intercepted and redirected him, placing him on the right path. I pray that if you are currently going in the wrong direction in your life, the Almighty God will redirect you to the right path, in Jesus’ name.

Mary Magdalene was another person who experienced a divine redirection. In Luke 8:2, before she met Jesus, she was tormented by seven demons. One demon is enough to ruin a person’s life and destiny, but Mary had seven. Satan had planned the perfect plot to destroy her, but Jesus intervened and redirected her life. He delivered her, and she later became one of the first people to see Him after His resurrection. In John 20:13-18, she had a glorious encounter with the risen Lord, and she went to tell the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken to her. A woman who was demon-possessed became a credible witness of the Lord. I pray that you will have a special divine encounter, and if you are on the wrong path in any area of your life, I decree that your steps shall be redirected aright, in Jesus’ name.

Some years ago, we held a crusade in Lagos, and one young man, who happened to be a member of a gang of highway robbers, came to the crusade venue with a revolver. However, God arrested him, and he gave his life to Jesus Christ and surrendered his gun. A few days later, every member of the gang was killed during a robbery operation. Fortunately for him, he didn’t go with them because he had become born again. He was going in the wrong direction, but he came across the light of God, and God saved him from destruction.

Beloved, if you are going in the wrong direction in your life right now, I pray that the light of God will stop you. I pray that God will intercept and redirect you for His glory, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Point – Open Heavens 16 September 2026

Father, please visit me with Your light and redirect me in any area of my life that I may be going in the wrong direction, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heavens 16 September 2026 Wednesday Hymn

Hymn 28: Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah

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.
