• MESSAGE TO THE LIVING ONES IN THIS LAST AGE: ABOUT THE SEALED ONE 144,000 - TRUE ISRAEL ALIVE TODAY

    Hear this, living ones. This is for you.

    Job 33:14-17 — For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night... then he opens the ears of men.

    l got a dream with a voice Saying you& your peace are in 144,000.a no which was in a vision & I did not perceive it well & l woke up. Job 33:14-17, Then on Bukasa Island, a great storm happened, I prayed as sealed one in Revelation 14:1-5 — to Lord, calm down the storm . & The lord confirm me that am among the sealed one. By wind get ceased. Psalm 107:29 — He made the storm be still. James 5:16 — The prayer of a righteous person has great power. That stillness was my seal.

    And this is what God unveils when confirm you Among 144000.:

    1. YOU ARE TRUE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, NOT BY FLESH., BUT BY SPIRIT--MADE

    Romans 9:6 — Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel.
    Romans 2:28-29 — A Jew is one inwardly, circumcision of heart by Spirit.
    Galatians 6:16 — The Israel of God.
    Galatians 3:29 — If you are Christ's, you are Abraham's offspring.

    Though you are Gentile by flesh from Kampala, Uganda — by Spirit-made birth you are grafted in. Ephesians 2:13,19 — Once far off, now brought near by blood, fellow citizens with saints.

    2. AM AMONG 12 SPIRITUAL TRIBES, NOT BY FLESH CENSUS.. BUT BY SPIRIT CENSUS.

    Revelation 7:4-8 — 12,000 from each tribe sealed.
    Notice: Dan is missing, Joseph and Manasseh both listed, Levi included though had no inheritance. It proves it is not flesh census, but Spirit.

    Romans 9:8 — It is not children of flesh who are children of God, but children of promise.
    Revelation 21:12 — New Jerusalem has 12 gates named for 12 tribes — all who enter come through a tribe.

    Thus 12 x 12,000 = Fullness of true Israel. James 1:18 — We should be a kind of firstfruits.

    Whether former Muslim like Sheikh Uthman, former Pharisee like Paul, or from Kampala — if born again, you are numbered in one of those tribes. Revelation 14:4 — Redeemed from mankind as firstfruits.

    3. YOU WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN — SPECIAL 144000, FIRSTFRUITS.

    You are not dead saints. You are among 1 Thessalonians 4:17 — who are alive, who are left, will be caught up.

    Revelation 14:4 — These are firstfruits for God and the Lamb.
    Revelation 12:17 — Dragon makes war on them — persecuted.
    Revelation 12:14 — But woman given wings of eagle to fly into wilderness — protected.
    Revelation 7:3 — Do not harm until we have sealed servants of God.

    Bible never says 144,000 are killed. They are sealed, protected, alive on heavenly Zion. Hebrews 12:22 — You have come to Mount Zion, city of living God, heavenly Jerusalem. Revelation 14:1 — On Mount Zion stood the Lamb and with Him 144,000.

    4. PAUL VS 144,000 — DEAD IN CHRIST VS LIVING FIRSTFRUITS
    Paul was martyred. Revelation 6:9 — Souls under altar slain for word of God. He awaits first resurrection. Revelation 20:6 — Blessed and holy is one who shares in first resurrection.

    144,000 are living ones on Zion with Lamb, singing new song before throne Revelation 14:3 — only living can sing there.
    Order: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 — Dead in Christ rise first. Then we who are alive and remain are caught up together with them.

    5. WHO IS IN CHRIST AND QUALIFIED? THE ONE BORN OF GOD WHO DOES NOT PRACTICE SIN.
    1 Thessalonians 4:16 — Dead IN CHRIST will rise first. Who is in Christ?
    1 John 3:9 — No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him.
    1 John 5:18 — Everyone born of God does not keep on sinning, but born of God protects him, evil one does not touch him.
    1 John 3:6 — No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning.
    Not sinless perfect by flesh, but seed abides, walks in Spirit, not practice of sin.
    If born again, practicing righteousness, not practicing sin — even if you died, you rise first. Revelation 20:6
    If practicing sin as lifestyle — 1 John 3:8 — Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil. He is not in Christ., not part of the first resurrection.
    This is why Rev14:5 , in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless. Same nature.

    HOW ARE YOU BLAMELESS? NOT BY EFFORT, BUT BY BLOOD.
    Rev14:4-5, not defiled, virgins, no lie, blameless.
    HOW? not by fasting. By blood as grace.
    Eph1:7-- in Him we have redemption through his blood.
    1john1:7-- blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
    Rev1:5-- freed us from our sins by his blood.
    Jude1:24-- Able to present you blameless before presence of his glory.

    FINAL CALL TO LIVING ONES TODAY: God is already in this last age today gathering His elect sealing them redeeming them. Matt24:31

    If you want to be confirmed among the 144000.
    1). Be born of God -- stop practicing sin as lifestyle. 1john3:9
    2). Live pure & uncompromised to this world. Rev14:4, James4:4, rom12:2,
    3). Be obedient to the lamb wherever he goes. Rev14:4, john10:27

    This is the message for this last age. The sealed ones are alive today. Be among them.

    The Need For A Sacrifice
    We assume the responsibility. For the holy offerings; for sin offerings to make atonement for Israel; and for all the duties of the house of our God.

    Nehemiah 10:32-33
    The people recognized the need for offerings and sacrifices. The history of Israel clearly reveals that this nation emphasized shedding the blood of animals and offering up their crops and grain to God. By so doing they were never allowed to forget the cost of redemption. Blood shed means a death has occurred. God is teaching His people that their problem with sin within is of such a serious nature it cannot be solved by merely instructing the mind. Only death can cure it.

    These bloody offerings prepared the way for the death of Jesus and even our remembrance of that death at the Lord's table. We ought to meditate on this every day. We should never allow ourselves to forget the cost of our redemption. It took all that God had to open a door that we might return to Him. As Peter put it, For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect (1 Peter 1:18-19).

    Very closely related to the blood offerings was the promise of these people to bring the firstfruits of their crops, herds, flocks, and even their sons to God. What they were doing was recognizing the ownership and rights of God in their lives. A corresponding truth for us today is, You are not your own; you were bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:19b-20a). God owns us. We do not own ourselves. The world says, You are your own. If you are pregnant and you do not want the baby, you can kill it, because you have a right to do what you please with your own body. But the Bible says, No, you are not your own. You do not have a right to do anything you like with the body God gave you.

    This is true in other aspects of life as well. We are not our own. We have no right to determine what we are going to do with our lives or even whom we are going to marry, apart from God's limitations. We have certain choices granted to us, but not all choices. One of the important aspects of becoming a Christian is to recognize the rights of God and to live our lives within the limits He establishes. This is what this great passage is teaching. It is the way by which Israel recognized frequently and continually that their lives were not their own. They too were bought with a price. They belonged to God. He has the right to direct their affairs and make many choices for them.

    Thank You, Lord, for this reminder that I am not my own; I have been bought with a price. I surrender my life to You, knowing that You have redeemed me with the precious blood of Christ

    DATE: THURSDAY 20TH AUGUST 2026

    TOPIC: GOD'S COVENANT OF PROSPERITY

    MEMORIZE:
    "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)

    BIBLE READING: JOB 36:11-12
    11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

    12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

    MESSAGE:
    When you enter into a covenant with the Owner of the earth and the fullness thereof (Psalm 24:1), the One who owns all the gold and the silver (Haggai 2:8), He will prosper you and add no sorrow to it (Proverbs 10:22).

    The devil often lures people into entering into a covenant with him by promising them great wealth. However, such prosperity always comes with many sorrows. I recall the story of a man who went to a herbalist and entered into a covenant with demonic forces so that he could become incredibly wealthy for seven years, after which he would die. He swallowed a charm the herbalist gave him, but he didn't get rich; instead, he had a seven-year countdown to his death. A few days before the seven years expired, the man ran into the church and told us his story. We told him to give his life to Jesus Christ, and He would protect him. He agreed, and we prayed a simple prayer with him. Right there, in the presence of everyone in the church, he vomited what he had swallowed. We rejoiced with him, and for a while after that, he attended church services regularly. After some time, however, he stopped coming, so we decided to conduct a follow-up. When we visited him, he said that the herbalist had told him he had swallowed the first charm incorrectly, so he gave him another one to swallow. Before long, he became wealthy. When the seven-year period stipulated by the covenant was close to expiring, he thought to himself, "The covenant is here in Nigeria. I will travel to London, and the demons won't be able to reach me there." Unfortunately, he died on a plane as he flew to London. Only God's covenant of prosperity will make a fellow rich and add no sorrow with it.

    Malachi 3:10 is a vital part of God's covenant of prosperity. When you pay your tithe, God will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing upon you that will be so great that you will not have enough room to contain it. Furthermore, Proverbs 3:9-10 encourages us to honour God with our firstfruits. God doesn't need money; He can provide for anything He wants to do, but He asks to be honoured. Beloved, once you are in covenant with God, He will always provide for you and make sure that you never lack. May your life always reflect the blessings of the Lord, in Jesus' name

    PRAYER POINT:
    Father, please help me to honour You with the resources You bless me with.

    BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
    JEREMIAH 50

    AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

    HYMNAL 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING
    1 There shall be showers of blessing:
    This is the promise of love;
    There shall be seasons refreshing,
    Sent from the Savior above.

    REFRAIN
    Showers of blessing,
    Showers of blessing we need:
    Mercy-drops round us are falling,
    But for the showers we plead.

    2 There shall be showers of blessing,
    Precious reviving again;
    Over the hills and the valleys,
    Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]

    3 There shall be showers of blessing:
    Send them upon us, O Lord;
    Grant to us now a refreshing,
    Come and now honor Thy Word.
    [Refrain]

    4 There shall be showers of blessing:
    Oh, that today they might fall,
    Now as to God we're confessing,
    Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]

    OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: THURSDAY 20TH AUGUST 2026 TOPIC: GOD'S COVENANT OF PROSPERITY MEMORIZE: "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV) BIBLE READING: JOB 36:11-12 11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. MESSAGE: When you enter into a covenant with the Owner of the earth and the fullness thereof (Psalm 24:1), the One who owns all the gold and the silver (Haggai 2:8), He will prosper you and add no sorrow to it (Proverbs 10:22). The devil often lures people into entering into a covenant with him by promising them great wealth. However, such prosperity always comes with many sorrows. I recall the story of a man who went to a herbalist and entered into a covenant with demonic forces so that he could become incredibly wealthy for seven years, after which he would die. He swallowed a charm the herbalist gave him, but he didn't get rich; instead, he had a seven-year countdown to his death. A few days before the seven years expired, the man ran into the church and told us his story. We told him to give his life to Jesus Christ, and He would protect him. He agreed, and we prayed a simple prayer with him. Right there, in the presence of everyone in the church, he vomited what he had swallowed. We rejoiced with him, and for a while after that, he attended church services regularly. After some time, however, he stopped coming, so we decided to conduct a follow-up. When we visited him, he said that the herbalist had told him he had swallowed the first charm incorrectly, so he gave him another one to swallow. Before long, he became wealthy. When the seven-year period stipulated by the covenant was close to expiring, he thought to himself, "The covenant is here in Nigeria. I will travel to London, and the demons won't be able to reach me there." Unfortunately, he died on a plane as he flew to London. Only God's covenant of prosperity will make a fellow rich and add no sorrow with it. Malachi 3:10 is a vital part of God's covenant of prosperity. When you pay your tithe, God will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing upon you that will be so great that you will not have enough room to contain it. Furthermore, Proverbs 3:9-10 encourages us to honour God with our firstfruits. God doesn't need money; He can provide for anything He wants to do, but He asks to be honoured. Beloved, once you are in covenant with God, He will always provide for you and make sure that you never lack. May your life always reflect the blessings of the Lord, in Jesus' name PRAYER POINT: Father, please help me to honour You with the resources You bless me with. BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 50 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE HYMNAL 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING 1 There shall be showers of blessing: This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, Sent from the Savior above. REFRAIN Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need: Mercy-drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead. 2 There shall be showers of blessing, Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain] 3 There shall be showers of blessing: Send them upon us, O Lord; Grant to us now a refreshing, Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain] 4 There shall be showers of blessing: Oh, that today they might fall, Now as to God we're confessing, Now as on Jesus we call!

  • SERMON TITLE: "YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE IN 144000,, THE DREAM I GOT: A CALL TO THE 144,000 MINDSET IN THE LAST DAYS"
    Text: Job 33:14-15 + Heb 1:2 + Rev 14:1-5
    Theme: God speaks in dreams, but THE SON speaks the final Word

    INTRO: GOD STILL SPEAKS AT NIGHT
    Job 33:14-15 _“For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
    In a dream, in a vision of the night...”_

    I Reagan l got a voice in a dream l received saying: “You and your people are in 144,000., a no by sight/ vision l didn't recognize it well and I woke up.
    Why? Because God gives the dream Job 33:15, but THE SON gives the meaning Heb 1:2.

    Heb 1:1-2 _“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
    but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son...”_

    In this last age, every dream must be measured by THE SON.

    POINT 1: WHAT "144,000" MEANS FOR US TODAY
    Rev 14:4-5 “It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes... In their mouth no lie was found, they are blameless.”

    God is not just giving us a number. He’s giving us a CHARACTER.
    To be "in 144,000" today means 4 things:

    FOLLOW THE LAMB, NOT MEN - Rev 14:4
    That "anointed prophet" wanted you to follow him. The Lamb says “Follow Me” John 10:27.
    In this last age Heb 1:2, we obey THE SON only.

    WASHED BY THE BLOOD - RED7 - Rev 7:14 “...they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
    No purity, no calling. 1 Pet 1:16 “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

    NO LIE IN THE MOUTH - A TRUE WITNESS - Rev 14:5, Acts 26:16
    This age is full of deception Matt 24:24. God is raising witnesses who speak truth.

    SEALED WITH PEACE IN THE STORM - Rev 7:3, John 14:27
    Judgment RED7 and death SKELETON are coming. But the sealed have peace.

    POINT 2: WHY GOD GAVE THE DREAM - "SO THAT YOU OBEY AND DON'T GO INTO DESTRUCTION"
    Job 33:17-18 _“That he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man;
    He keeps back his soul from the pit...”_

    The purpose of the dream:
    A WARNING - RED7, SKELETON. The age is ending. Don’t play with sin Rom 6:16.
    A CALL - GREEN7. Come back to the Word Matt 4:4. Be fruitful John 15:5.
    A CHOICE - Deut 30:19 “...therefore choose life”. Choose THE SON Heb 1:2.

    God showed you the dream because He doesn’t want you and your people to perish 2 Pet 3:9.

    POINT 3: HOW TO WALK IN THIS CALL TODAY
    HEAR THE SON DAILY - Heb 1:2. Bible + Prayer. That’s your food.
    REJECT FALSE CONFIRMATION - 1 John 4:1. Test every spirit. Peace is the proof Col 3:15, not titles.
    LIVE AS FIRSTFRUITS - Rev 14:4. Set apart. Holy. Different.
    BE A WITNESS - Acts 26:16. Tell others: “Repent, the Lamb is calling”.

    ALTAR CALL / APPLICATION:
    Church, the dream is not for pride. It’s for OBEDIENCE.
    Rev 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice...”

    PRAYER:
    Father, in Jesus' name. Seal Your people Rev 7:3.
    Give us grace to follow THE LAMB Rev 14:4.
    Keep us from destruction Job 33:18.
    Make us GREEN7 - holy, fruitful, obedient in these last days Heb 1:2. Amen.

    FINAL WORD FOR YOU REAGAN:
    Brother& sisters the dream is TRUE Job 33:14-15.
    But the meaning is: Follow THE SON Heb 1:2.

    A divine message the son speaks to you of this last age to obey & don't perish through this dream l got me Reagan, Jesus' servant and a witness appointed by Jesus to testify to what l have seen him in visions l saw. Acts 26:16, not a celebrity.

    Rev 14:1 “...the Lamb... and with him the 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.”
    The mark is HIS NAME. Carry it well.

    All glory to Jesus John 16:14

  • 𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂: 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐘

    BIBLICAL TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 1:6-12 KJV

    “And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.” (2 Chronicles 1:6 KJV)

    Solomon's offering was more than a financial transaction. It was an expression of honour, surrender, worship, and dependence upon God. After he offered those sacrifices, God appeared to him and said, “Ask what I shall give thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV)

    This teaches us that genuine giving can become an expression of faith that accompanies our prayers and worship. However, our giving does not buy God's presence or force Him to act. God responds according to His grace, wisdom, and purpose.

    𝐀) 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝

    Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings unto the Lord, and that night God appeared to him.

    “And that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV)

    Solomon's sacrifice was followed by a divine encounter. He had the opportunity to ask for wealth, long life, or the death of his enemies, but he asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead God's people.

    “And now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Give me now wisdom and knowledge.” (2 Chronicles 1:9-10 KJV)

    His request revealed the condition of his heart.

    𝐁) 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

    Giving should never be treated as a way of purchasing miracles. God cannot be bought. Our offerings are expressions of worship, gratitude, obedience, and honour.

    “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.” (Proverbs 3:9 KJV)

    When giving flows from a sincere heart, it becomes part of our worship. It can also position us to participate in God's work, bless others, and demonstrate our trust in His provision.

    The greatest offering God desires is a surrendered life.

    “I beseech you therefore, brethren... that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.” (Romans 12:1 KJV)

    Solomon's sacrifice was followed by an encounter, but the deeper lesson was his heart. He desired God's wisdom more than personal wealth.

    𝐂) 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐨 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬

    Solomon understood that leadership required divine wisdom. He did not ask merely for power to defeat his enemies. He asked for wisdom to discern what was right.

    “And God said unto Solomon, Because this was in thine heart... wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:11-12 KJV)

    Some battles are not overcome by shouting louder. They are overcome by receiving divine wisdom.

    There are people you should not fight, places you should not enter, opportunities you should not accept, and decisions you should not make. Divine wisdom can save you from traps that your physical strength cannot detect.

    “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” (Ecclesiastes 7:12 KJV)

    Ask God for wisdom. Before you confront every enemy, ask God for understanding. Before you make major decisions, seek His direction.

    𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣

    Your offering should not only leave your hand. Let it carry your heart toward God.

    Give with thanksgiving. Give with sincerity. Give according to God's Word. Support the work of God. Honour those who labour in the Gospel. Fulfil your vows. Help the needy. But above all, give yourself completely to God.

    Do not give because you are trying to manipulate God into giving you what you want. Give because He is worthy.

    When your heart is surrendered, your giving becomes worship, your prayer becomes fellowship, and your life becomes an altar unto God.

    𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬

    1. Father, give me a heart that honours You with my substance and with everything You have committed into my hands, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 3:9 KJV)

    2. O Lord, let every sincere offering I give according to Your will produce fruit for Your kingdom and glory, in Jesus' name.

    3. Father, appear in every situation where I need divine direction and intervention, in the name of Jesus Christ. (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV)

    4. O Lord, give me wisdom and knowledge to overcome every hidden trap and make righteous decisions, in Jesus' name. (2 Chronicles 1:10 KJV)

    5. Every hidden strategy of the enemy against my life, let divine wisdom expose and overturn it, in the name of Jesus Christ.

    6. Father, give me grace to support Your work faithfully and to fulfil every vow I make before You, in Jesus' name. (Ecclesiastes 5:4 KJV)

    7. O Lord, make my life a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto You, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Romans 12:1 KJV)

    𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

    I declare that as you walk in obedience, worship, generosity, and faith, the Lord will give you wisdom for every difficult season. May God expose hidden traps, reveal hidden opportunities, and guide your steps into His purpose.

    You will not be destroyed by what you cannot see. You will receive divine wisdom to discern, divine strength to overcome, and divine grace to fulfil your destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

  • PROVERB OF THE DAY

    (Proverbs 3)

    1. My son, do not forget my law,
    But let your heart keep my commands;

    2. For length of days and long life
    And peace they will add to you.

    3. Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
    Bind them around your neck,
    Write them on the tablet of your heart,

    4. And so find favor and high esteem
    In the sight of God and man.

    5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
    And lean not on your own understanding;

    6. In all your ways acknowledge Him,
    And He shall direct your paths.

    7. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

    8. It will be health to your flesh,
    And strength to your bones.

    9. Honor the LORD with your possessions,
    And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

    10. So your barns will be filled with plenty,
    And your vats will overflow with new wine.

    11. My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
    Nor detest His correction;

    12. For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
    Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

    13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
    And the man who gains understanding;

    14. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
    And her gain than fine gold.

    15. She is more precious than rubies,
    And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

    16. Length of days is in her right hand,
    In her left hand riches and honor.

    17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    And all her paths are peace.

    18. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
    And happy are all who retain her.

    19. The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;
    By understanding He established the heavens;

    20. By His knowledge the depths were broken up,
    And clouds drop down the dew.

    21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
    Keep sound wisdom and discretion;

    22. So they will be life to your soul
    And grace to your neck.

    23. Then you will walk safely in your way,

    26. For the LORD will be your confidence,
    And will keep your foot from being caught.

    27. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    When it is in the power of your hand to do so.

    28. Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Go, and come back,
    And tomorrow I will give it,”
    When you have it with you.

    30. Do not strive with a man without cause,
    If he has done you no harm.

    31. Do not envy the oppressor,
    And choose none of his ways;

    32. For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD,
    But His secret counsel is with the upright.

    33. The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
    But He blesses the home of the just.

    34. Surely He scorns the scornful,
    But gives grace to the humble.

    35. The wise shall inherit glory,
    But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
    PROVERB OF THE DAY (Proverbs 3) 1. My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2. For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4. And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. 5.

My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction; 12. For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. 13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 14. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. 15.

The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; 20. By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. 21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes— Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 22. So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. 23.

    1 Kings 3

    A Heart That Seeks God’s Wisdom

    1 Kings 3 records the early days of Solomon’s reign and reveals both the promise and the potential danger surrounding his leadership. Solomon loves the Lord and follows the godly example of David, yet the chapter also introduces areas of compromise that will later become more serious. His marriage alliance with Pharaoh’s daughter and his participation in worship at the high places reveal that his devotion, though sincere, is not yet completely undivided.

    Solomon travels to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, and there the Lord appears to him in a dream. God invites Solomon to ask for what he desires. This moment exposes the heart of the young king. Solomon could have requested wealth, military strength, political influence, or a long life, but instead he asks for wisdom and discernment to govern God’s people.

    Solomon recognizes that leadership is greater than his natural ability. He understands that Israel belongs to God and that he cannot fulfill his calling without divine help. His request reflects humility, dependence, and a desire to serve rather than merely be served.

    God is pleased with Solomon’s request. Because he asks for wisdom rather than selfish gain, the Lord grants him exceptional understanding and also provides blessings he did not request. Yet God reminds him that continued blessing is connected to faithful obedience. Wisdom is not merely the ability to understand difficult situations; it is the ability to walk according to the truth of God.

    The well-known case involving two women and one living child becomes the first public demonstration of Solomon’s God-given wisdom. The situation appears impossible because there are no witnesses and no clear evidence. Solomon reveals the truth by exposing the heart of the real mother. His judgment shows that divine wisdom sees beyond outward words and discerns the motives within.

    The people recognize that Solomon’s wisdom has come from God. His authority is strengthened not simply because he possesses the throne, but because the Lord has equipped him to administer justice. This establishes an important principle for the entire book: leadership succeeds when it remains dependent upon God.

    Theologically, 1 Kings 3 reveals that true wisdom begins with humility and dependence upon the Lord. Solomon’s greatest strength is not his education, position, or natural intelligence, but his recognition that he needs God. The chapter also warns that spiritual compromise can exist alongside genuine devotion. Small areas of disobedience, when left unaddressed, can eventually weaken even a gifted servant of God.

    This chapter points to Christ, who is greater than Solomon. Solomon received wisdom from God, but Jesus is the wisdom of God revealed to humanity. Solomon could discern the hearts of those standing before him, but Christ knows every human heart perfectly. Jesus is the righteous Judge who never makes an error, never acts from selfish motives, and always rules according to truth.

    For believers today, 1 Kings 3 reminds us that we need more than information, talent, or experience. We need wisdom from God to make decisions, lead others, manage responsibilities, and respond to difficult situations. The Lord invites us to ask in faith, but we must also remain obedient to what He reveals. In Christ, we have access to the wisdom necessary for godly living, and through the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to walk with discernment, humility, and truth.

    1 Kings 4

    The Peace and Prosperity of Solomon’s Kingdom

    1 Kings 4 presents the organization, prosperity, and influence of Solomon’s kingdom. After the uncertainty surrounding David’s final years and the transition of leadership, Israel now experiences stability. Solomon appoints officials, establishes administrative order, and creates a structure capable of governing the growing nation.

    The detailed record of Solomon’s leaders and governors may appear administrative, but it reveals an important spiritual principle. God is a God of order. The blessings of the kingdom are not managed carelessly. Responsibilities are distributed, capable people are appointed, and practical systems are established to support the work.

    Solomon’s reign extends over a large territory, and surrounding nations bring tribute. Israel enjoys peace on every side, and the people live securely. The description of each family dwelling safely under its own vine and fig tree communicates stability, provision, and freedom from fear.

    This season represents a partial fulfillment of the promises God made to Abraham. The people have multiplied, the land has been established, and the nation has become a blessing and testimony among surrounding kingdoms. What God promised generations earlier is now visibly unfolding.

    The prosperity of Israel is directly connected to God’s covenant faithfulness. Solomon did not create the nation’s blessings from nothing. He inherited the results of God’s promises, David’s victories, and the sacrifices of previous generations. The kingdom flourishes because God has been working throughout Israel’s history to accomplish His redemptive purpose.

    The chapter also emphasizes Solomon’s extraordinary wisdom. His understanding extends across many areas of life, and people travel from distant nations to hear him. His wisdom becomes an instrument through which the glory of Israel’s God is made known beyond the borders of the nation.

    Yet the abundance described in this chapter also carries a quiet warning. Prosperity can become spiritually dangerous when people begin enjoying God’s blessings without remaining devoted to the God who provided them. The kingdom is strong outwardly, but its future will depend upon whether Solomon and the people continue walking faithfully with the Lord.

    Theologically, 1 Kings 4 reveals God as the source of order, peace, provision, and wisdom. The chapter demonstrates that God fulfills His promises across generations. It also shows that leadership involves faithful stewardship. Blessings must be organized, managed, and used according to God’s purposes.

    This chapter points to Christ and His coming kingdom. Solomon’s reign brought temporary peace and prosperity, but Jesus will establish perfect and everlasting peace. Solomon governed a great earthly territory, but Christ will reign over every nation. People traveled from distant lands to hear Solomon’s wisdom, but one greater than Solomon has come, offering eternal truth and salvation to the whole world.

    For believers today, 1 Kings 4 reminds us to recognize God as the source of every blessing. Seasons of peace, growth, and provision should lead us to gratitude rather than complacency. We are called to manage faithfully what God has entrusted to us, build with wisdom, and use our influence for His glory. In Christ, we belong to an eternal kingdom where righteousness, peace, and abundance will never end.

    1 Corinthians 15 — The Resurrection of the Christ and the Believer’s Victory

    1 Corinthians chapter 15 stands as one of the most important chapters in the New Testament, focusing on the resurrection of the Christ, the Son of God. Everything in the redemptive plan rests upon this truth. If the Christ has not risen, faith is empty and hope is lost. But because He has risen, salvation is secure, death is defeated, and eternal life is certain.

    The chapter begins by returning to the foundation of the gospel. The message that was preached, received, and believed centers on the death, burial, and resurrection of the Christ. These are not isolated events but the heart of God’s redemptive plan. The Son of God fulfilled what was promised, accomplishing salvation through His sacrifice and proving His victory through His resurrection.
    A strong emphasis is placed on the reality of the resurrection. The Christ did not merely survive in memory or influence; He physically rose from the dead. Many witnessed Him alive after His resurrection, confirming that this event is historical, visible, and foundational. Christian living is built upon this truth. The resurrection is not an addition to the gospel—it is essential to it.

    The chapter then addresses the consequences of denying the resurrection. If there is no resurrection, there is no victory over sin, no future hope, and no assurance of eternal life. But the redemptive plan does not rest on uncertainty. The Son of God has risen, and His resurrection guarantees the future resurrection of those who belong to Him.

    The Christ is presented as the firstfruits of a coming harvest. Just as death entered through humanity, resurrection life comes through the Son of God. His victory is not isolated; it extends to all who trust in Him. This reveals the scope of the redemptive plan. The Christ not only forgives sin but reverses the curse of death itself.

    The chapter also describes the future fulfillment of God’s purposes. The Christ will ultimately reign over every enemy, and death itself will be defeated. This gives believers a perspective that extends beyond present circumstances. Christian living is rooted in the certainty that the Son of God is victorious and that His kingdom will be fully established.

    Attention is then given to the nature of the resurrection body. The future life promised through the Christ is not merely an extension of the present one. God will provide a glorified body suited for eternity. This demonstrates the completeness of the redemptive plan. The Son of God redeems not only the soul but the whole person.

    The chapter concludes with a triumphant declaration of victory. Because the Christ has conquered death, believers no longer face it with fear. The resurrection transforms the believer’s outlook, replacing uncertainty with confidence and despair with hope. Christian living is shaped by this reality. The work done for the Christ is never wasted because His victory guarantees an eternal outcome.

    1 Corinthians 15 emphasizes the resurrection of the Christ as the foundation of faith, the assurance of salvation, and the promise of future glory. The Son of God has defeated death and secured eternal life for all who belong to Him.

    For believers today, this chapter calls us to stand firmly in the truth of the resurrection. Christian living is not built on wishful thinking but on the historical victory of the Christ. We are reminded that our hope is secure, our future is certain, and our labor for the Lord has eternal value. Because the Son of God lives, we can face every challenge with confidence, knowing that His redemptive plan will be completed and that His victory will one day be fully realized in us.

    THEME: PUT JESUS FIRST

    AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    MEMORISE: "I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." Psalm 16:8

    READ: 1 Kings 17:8-16
    8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
    9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
    10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
    11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
    12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
    13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
    14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
    15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
    16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

    MESSAGE:
    One of the ways that believers can preserve and maintain their position as children of God is by putting Him first in everything. In Genesis 22:1-18, God tested Abraham to find out who was more important in his life: God's gift to him (Isaac) or the Giver of the gift (God). He asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, and he passed the test. Abraham put God first and chose to obey Him. He knew that the God who quickened his dead body to bear a son could also raise his son from death (Hebrews 11:17-19). When he passed the test, the Almighty God made a promise to multiply him exceedingly, and today, Abraham's seed can be found everywhere. When you put God first, He will single you out for mighty miracles.

    In today's Bible reading, a man of God met a widow and asked her for food. The widow responded that all she had was just enough for her and her son to make one last meal before they die. However, she eventually gave up the meal to feed the prophet, and for the rest of the famine, she and her son didn't suffer hunger. In Luke 4:25-26, the Bible tells us that there were many widows in the land of Israel whom Elijah could have been sent to at that time. However, I believe that God singled her out for an unending supply because He knew that she would put Him first.

    One way to put God first in your life is to give Him your firstfruits. I find it surprising when some people struggle to offer their firstfruits to God. In Proverbs 3:9-10, God says that when you honour Him with your firstfruits, your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. You cannot put God first in your finances and experience scarcity or lack. Just do as God has said and leave the rest to Him.

    Another way to put God first is to make His priorities your priority. One of the most important things to God is the salvation of souls. In Luke 19:10, Jesus said that He came to seek and save the lost. Winning souls and making disciples are important to God; therefore, they should be important to you also. Beloved, tell others about Jesus today, and become actively involved in their spiritual growth. Go the extra mile to ensure that someone else follows Jesus, and the Almighty God will single you out for His marvelous miracles.

    PRAYER POINT:
    Father, please help me to put You first in every area of my life, in Jesus’ name.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
    Isaiah 38-40

    HYMN 21: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
    1 My hope is built on nothing less
    Than Jesus' Blood and righteousness;
    I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
    But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

    Chorus:
    On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
    All other ground is sinking sand,
    All other ground is sinking sand.

    2 When darkness seems to veils His face,
    I rest on His unchanging grace;
    In every high and stormy gale,
    My anchor holds within the veil.

    3 His oath, His covenant, and His blood,
    Support me in the whelming flood;
    When all around my soul gives way,
    He then is all my hope and stay

    4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
    Oh, may I then in Him be found;
    Dressed in His righteousness alone,
    Faultless to stand before the throne..

    OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SATURDAY, JULY 25TH, 2026 THEME: PUT JESUS FIRST AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE MEMORISE: "I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." Psalm 16:8 READ: 1 Kings 17:8-16 8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
