Open Heaven 6 September 2025 – Ask For Light (Open Heavens Today Devotional)
*MEMORISE:*
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” - (John 1:5)
*READ: MARK 10:46-52 (KJV)*
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
*MESSAGE:*
When God created the world in Genesis 1:1-31, the first thing He made was light. This is because when light is present, it becomes easy to put every other thing in place.
In today's Bible reading, a blind beggar called Bartimaeus was crying desperately for the attention of Jesus Christ. He was living in the bondage of poverty and was likely a lonely man who had nobody to help him. His case seemed to be a hopeless one simply because he could not see. When Jesus asked him what he wanted, he asked for the ability to see. He could have asked for money and clothes, but all he asked for was the ability to see light. Your ability to see, including physically and spiritually, is far more beneficial than money and clothes.
When God's light comes, every form of darkness and sorrow disappears. The question now is, how can you let the light of God into your life? Jesus said in John 8:12 that He is the Light of the world. If you let Jesus into your life, His light will shine in you and chase out every form of darkness. He will shine so much in you that you will begin to shine on others. This is why He said in Matthew 5:14 that you are the light of the world. Through you, darkness will leave your family, and everyone who comes in contact with you will benefit from the light you carry. Before I became born again, there were curses and sorrows in the Adeboye family. However, after the Light - Jesus Christ - came into my life, every generational curse was broken. Poverty and sorrows were also banished forever.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Beloved, no matter how potent the generational curses or forces of darkness that might be holding you back are, once you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, all things will become new and His light will drive darkness away from you. If you are, however, not yet born again, please say the following prayer:
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have been living in darkness. Now, I am ready for Your light. Please, come into my life and make me a new creature in You. I denounce every sin I used to commit (mention all), and I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You, Jesus.
*PRAYER POINT:*
Father, please let Your light shine over everything that concerns me, in Jesus' name.

*HYMNAL: 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE*
1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.

*HYMNAL: 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!*
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Commentary
Leaders occupy vital positions in nations, organizations, and the Church. When leaders are guided by wisdom and integrity, the people under them experience peace and prosperity. However, ungodly leadership often brings hardship, confusion, and suffering. This is why Paul, in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, commands us to intercede for all in authority. As Christians, our responsibility is not to complain or criticize but to pray that God will grant leaders wisdom, humility, and a servant’s heart. By doing this, we invite divine intervention into governance, workplace administration, and spiritual leadership. Every believer is a watchman, and prayer is our strongest weapon to influence leadership positively.
🔹 Salvation Message
Beloved, the greatest leader you need in your life is Jesus Christ. No matter how much we pray for earthly leaders, true transformation begins when an individual allows Christ to reign in their heart. If you have not yet surrendered to Him, today is your day of salvation.
🙏 Say this prayer sincerely:
“Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe You died for me and rose again. Today, I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Wash me clean with Your blood and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer, congratulations! You are now born again. Please locate a Bible-believing church (preferably an RCCG parish near you) to grow in your walk with Christ.
