OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL: FRIDAY JULY 11TH 2025

TOPIC: PHYSICAL ERXERCISE IS PROFITABLE   MEMORISE : For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Timothy 4:8   READ : 1Cor 6:19-20 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.   MESSAGE Today's memory verse tells us that the profit from spiritual exercise - which is godliness- far outweighs that of physical exercise but also implies that the little profit from physical exercise cannot be gained from spiritual exercise. To function excellently in this physical realm, you need your body to be active and healthy, hence the need for physical exercise. If you ignore the little profit from physical exercise, no matter how godly you are, you just may shorten your lifespan here...

THE WONDERS OF THE SPOKEN WORD. Tuesday 6 January 2015.

Memorise:
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3.

Read: Genesis 1:1-3.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Message
Isaiah 55:10-11 establishes the wonders- working power of the spoken Word of God. The Word of God can transform darkness to light (Genesis 1:3). This is why in Mark 10:46-52, when Bartimaeus cried for recovery of his sight, all Jesus did was speak, and his sight was restored. Genesis 1:20-22 reveals the fact that the spoken Word of God can transform emptiness to fullness. At the beginning of creation, the world was empty and void, but when the spoken Word of God went forth, the world became full of all sorts of creatures. I prophesy that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, your emptiness shall be transformed to fullness.

Moreover, the spoken Word of God can bring orderliness to a confused situation. We see this in the story of the storm that rocked the boat of Jesus and His disciples (Mark 4:35-41). All Jesus did was to speak peace to the confusion on the sea, and there was calm. This same spoken Word of God can go into the bowels of the earth to bring the dead buried there back to life (John 11:39-44). I want to encourage you to identify genuine prophets of God and never trivialise the word that comes out of their mouth. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we read about the word of prophet of God to a poor widow whose sons were about to be sold into slavery. The moment the man of God spoke, the multiplying power of God went into the lone bottle of oil in her hand and the miracle began to happen. Today, as you read this devotional, standing on the authority of the Word of God, I decree that every emptiness in your life be filled in Jesus' Name.

Years ago, a man came to us for prayer. He was distressed because he had become financially bankrupt. After the prayer, he said that he know he should not come to a man of God empty-handed but he had nothing to give. As if that was enough, he begged for transport money back home. I took the little money I had then, gave it to him and said, “This money will never finish." He said “Amen" and left. Today, I know at least two of the houses he built after that encounter. My earnest prayer for you too is that whatever money is in your possession as you are reading this devotional shall not finish in Jesus' Name. Believe in the spoken Word from the mouth of Gods prophet, depart from iniquity and you will give testimonies of power in the Word.

Action Point:
Read aloud all the written prophecies in today’s devotional, received them by faith and you will experience the power in the Word.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 15:1 - 19: 15 AND ACTS 4:23.
