OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY 18TH AUGUST 2026

TOPIC: GOD’S COVENANT OF PROMOTION

MEMORIZE:
"But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil." Psalm 92:10 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 75:6-7
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

MESSAGE:
The devil often uses the promise of promotion to lure people into making covenants with him. For example, I have heard of cases where those in authority would ask someone due for a promotion at work to enter into an evil covenant by joining a secret cult before the promotion is granted.

Beloved, if you ever find yourself in such an ordeal, I urge you never to enter into such covenants.

Today’s Bible reading tells us that promotion comes from God. When He says yes, nobody can say no. When God decides to promote you, it doesn’t matter what anybody may try because you will reach the position that He intends. He controls the heart of kings; therefore, if anyone in authority threatens you, saying, “You will not be promoted unless you join us,” take your stand as a child of God, and never give in. Just hold on to God, and in the end, you will emerge victorious.

Sometime ago, one of my spiritual sons came to me and said, “Daddy, I am tired of being in one spot for so long; I want to move forward. I have an interview tomorrow, please pray for me.” I replied,

“Let us pray,” and he said, “No! Just speak a word.”

Then I told him that the interview would be successful. He went for the interview and came back beaming with joy. He said, “Daddy, I prepared hard for the interview, but they only asked me three questions: What is your name? Which post did you apply for? When do you want to start?” | congratulated him, and he said, “Daddy, please speak another word.” I obliged and responded,

“Your promotion will be rapid.” The next day, He came back dancing for joy. He said, “When I resumed this morning, I was asked to go to the boardroom. The people who interviewed me the previous day were seated there, and they said, ‘Our Managing Director resigned yesterday. Are you ready to take on the post?’ I replied,

“Congratulations, that’s a rapid promotion.” He told me to speak another word, and I said that God would complete the good work He had started in him. The next day, he came back to me almost speechless as his salary had been doubled! Then he said I should speak another word, and I jokingly responded, “Do you want to collect the company from the owners?”

Beloved, I pray that my Father will surprise you with rapid promotions, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT:
Nothing and no one can limit a man whom God has decided to promote.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
JEREMIAH 47-48

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMNAL 20 - I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
1. I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining
everyday; Still praying as I onward bound "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."

CHORUS:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's table-land; Where love, and joy, and light abound, Lord, plant my feet on higher
ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise, and fears dismay; though some may dwell where these abound, My constant aim is higher ground.

CHORUS:

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise, to rest beneath unclouded skies, above earth's turmoil peace is found By those who dwell on higher ground.

CHORUS:

4. I long to scale the utmost height, Though rough the way, and hard the fight, My song, while climbing, shall resound Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

CHORUS:

5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side I dare not climb without my Guide; And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around, With grateful heart from higher ground.

CHORUS:

I've been following Abraham for awhile and have found his book on Daniel's 70 day prophesy to be quite informational; specifically in the realms of Chronos time. This interview about how God uses solar eclipses and patterns is fascinating. #eclipse

A British millionaire is putting his own money on the line to defend Christian street preachers.
Samuel Leeds, a successful property entrepreneur and devout Christian, has publicly pledged to personally fund legal representation for any Christian street preacher in Britain who faces police action simply for sharing their faith.
He says he is “outraged and shocked.”
“I am outraged and shocked to see Christians getting arrested on the streets and being told that they’re offensive for preaching about Jesus when we are living in a Christian country,” Leeds told Truth Times in an exclusive interview. “We see Christians being persecuted all over the world, but seeing it happen in Great Britain — seeing the disdain, the hatred and now the oppression of Christian voices — really bothers me.”
Recent cases have made headlines. Pastor Dia Moodley was handcuffed and thrown in a cell in Bristol for preaching. Pastor Steve Maile was arrested in Watford under circumstances he strongly denies. In both situations, and others like them, police intervention has sparked national debate about free speech and religious liberty.
Leeds is done watching from the sidelines.
“Having been successful in business, I felt it was only right and appropriate for me to put my hand in my pocket and help these people,” he said. “Where Christians are being unfairly targeted simply for preaching their faith, I’m prepared to put my money behind defending them. They deserve proper legal representation rather than simply being silenced by police officers who sometimes overstep the mark and don’t even understand the law themselves.”
He is blunt about what he sees as a growing double standard in modern Britain.
“No, it’s not fair,” Leeds said when asked why highly sexualised advertising and near-nudity face little scrutiny while a man reading from the Bible can be arrested. “Britain has definitely developed a double standard. We’re a Christian country that’s tolerant of everybody and every religion — apart from, increasingly, Christians themselves.”
Leeds does not blame immigration. He points the finger at Britain’s own institutions.
“Migration is not the problem here. If people are coming into England to work and add value, their religion or faith, quite frankly, is irrelevant. Most people do respect the culture. The pressure is coming from within our own institutions — in interactions with the police, in the constant pandering from some of our leaders, and in this apologetic mentality where we seem to be apologising for being British, apologising for flying an English flag, and apologising for being Christian.”
He is equally clear about the deeper issue: Britain’s relationship with God.
“The only hope for Great Britain now is turning back to God and repenting on its knees,” he has said repeatedly. “God blesses us when we follow His principles in the Bible. When you turn your back on God, take His name in vain and openly mock Jesus Christ, which has become so normal in Britain, you cannot then expect everything to continue prospering without consequences. The wages of sin is death. The UK is in a mess right now. No matter who you vote for, the real answer is that people need to turn back to God.”
Yet Leeds is not purely pessimistic. He sees signs of a quiet revival — rising belief in God among young people and growing church attendance — and he is putting practical action behind his words. Alongside funding legal defence, he has launched efforts to buy churches at risk of being sold off and converted into flats, determined to keep them open for worship and community use.
His message to ordinary Christians is simple and direct:
“Don’t just be angry about what’s happening. Draw closer to God. Stand up for what you believe. Support your church. And do something about it.”
Samuel Leeds is doing something about it. He is writing the cheques so that Christian street preachers are not left alone when the police arrive.
Britain was built on the Christian faith. Leeds is refusing to let that foundation be quietly dismantled without a fight.
What do you think — is this the kind of stand more people of faith should be taking?

Hii everyone, praise the lord
