OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 29TH 2026 THEME: THE LAKE OF FIRE MEMORISE: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 READ: Revelation 21:8, 26-27 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. MESSAGE I was shocked when I heard someone say several years ago that he was preparing to go to hell. He even said that he wanted to take my Father in the Lord, me, and one other person along with him. The most shocking thing was that the individual who made that statement was a senior minister in the church at that time. Today's Bible reading lists the types of people who are already preparing to make the lake of fire their home. These people probably know God and have seen His mighty works at different times; however, they still choose to live a lifestyle that opposes His ways. I may not be able to talk about each of the types of people elaborately here, but I will comment on some of them below. There are people who are too afraid to bear God's name: therefore, they deny Him before men. In Matthew 10:33, Jesus said that He will also deny such people in the presence of His Father. There are also those who refer to themselves as atheists. They claim not to believe that God exists, whereas it is untrue because they know deep within themselves that He exists. He calls out to them every now and then, and they can feel Him reaching out to them. However, they choose not to believe in Him. They don't even want to hear God's word or study it because they just don't want to believe. There are also those who do abominable things, those who murder, and those who are sexually immoral. All such people who have chosen such lifestyles will go to hell if they refuse to repent. Regardless of how saintly they may appear, their final home is in the lake of fire. Likewise, those who outrightly serve the devil, such as witches and wizards, cultists, and those who belong to associations that engage in evil acts, will also end up in the lake of fire. Lastly, liars will also suffer the same fate and end up in the lake of fire. Beloved, I want you to honestly evaluate your life. If you discover that you fall into any of the categories of people listed in today's Bible reading, l urge you to repent now and change your lifestyle because the lake of fire is a place of unending sorrow. I pray that when Jesus comes back to the earth, you and I will enter into paradise with Him, in Jesus' name. KEY POINT Do everything to ensure that you do not end up in the lake of fire. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 50-52 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 28 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH! 1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah! Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven! Feed me now and evermore (2ce) 2. Open Thou the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow: Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong deliverer! strong deliverer! Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce) 3. If I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside: Bear me through the swelling torrent, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises! songs of praises! I will ever give to Thee (2ce) 4. Saviour, come! We long to see Thee, Long to dwell with Thee above; And to know in full communion, All the sweetness of Thy love. Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus! Take Thy waiting people home (2ce) ‎PRAYER POINTS ON TODAY'S OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY, 29TH JULY, 2026 *THE LAKE OF FIRE* ‎ ✓Father, thank You for the salvation of my soul.
