OPEN HEAVEN 9 NOVEMBER 2025 TOPIC: THE BACKSTAGE AND THE LIMELIGHT I.
Posted by openheavens.com com.ng
MEMORISE: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.-1 Corinthians 1:25
READ: Matthew 6:1-6:
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Open Heaven 9 November 2025 MESSAGE
Yesterday, I mentioned that I would discuss what I learned from Matthew 10:2, so I will focus on this verse for the next few days. The verse says,
“… The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;”
Also read :Open Heaven 8 November 2025 - He shall Teach You All Things
The question is, why was Andrew listed second even though he encountered Christ first (John 1:40-41)? Normally, if I were to arrange the list of apostles by their first encounter with Jesus, I would say the first is Andrew, the second is Peter, and so on. This makes me believe that the verse lists the apostles by Jesus’ intended hierarchy. However, as time went on, Andrew dropped from number two, such that he was not even among the first three apostles.
Whenever Jesus wanted to go somewhere special, He would go with Peter, James, and John. What caused Andrew to be demoted?
If you read through the Bible, you will not find a single flaw about Andrew. Some of the other apostles had flaws: Peter denied Jesus thrice, and James and John wanted to call fire down from heaven to destroy an entire town that did not welcome Jesus (Luke 9:51-54). Despite this, it seemed that Andrew got demoted.
However, the Lord told me that Andrew was not demoted; instead, he was promoted. The Lord told me that when Jesus informed the mother of James and John that only His Father will determine those who will sit on His right and left, He meant that the seats were already reserved. The Lord then further whispered to me that one of those seats has been reserved for Andrew.
What happens behind the scenes is usually greater than what happens in the limelight. While most people focus on the stage, the real work and benefits are usually behind the scenes. You may not know it, but the producers of successful movies, who are behind the scenes, usually earn more and are more respected than the actors in the limelight. They also don’t have to deal with the distractions and pressures that come with fame.
Beloved, don’t be desperate for public recognition and the approval of others. Your main focus should be on fulfilling God’s will for your life in whatever capacity He has placed you. God rewards based on faithfulness and obedience, not on fame or perceived influence.
I pray that God will reward you bountifully as you focus solely on pleasing Him (2 Corinthians 5:9)
Open Heaven 9 November 2025 KEY POINT
God does not reward based on popularity but on faithfulness and obedience.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
John 18-19
Open Heaven 8 November 2025 HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
Open Heaven 9 November 2025 Commentary — The Backstage and The Limelight I
In today’s devotional, Pastor E.A. Adeboye reminds believers that God’s reward system is not based on fame or visibility but on faithfulness. Andrew’s story teaches us that serving quietly in the background can be more honourable than seeking the spotlight. Heaven measures obedience, not applause. Just as producers behind the scenes are key to a movie’s success, your secret labour for God is precious in His sight.
Stay faithful, even when no one sees you- because your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Reflection: What matters most to God is not how popular your service appears, but how sincerely you obey Him.

MEMORISE:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:-John 10:27
BIBLE READ: John 10:1-16:
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Open Heaven 5 November 2025 MESSAGE
Today’s memory verse tells us that anyone who is a sheep in God’s pasture should hear His voice frequently. When you hear from God, He will guide you in all your ways.

Years ago, during a meeting, some ministers of God had a disagreement on who to vote for between the two major presidential candidates in Nigeria. I was also in the meeting, and I said, “Brethren, has God told you that either of them will be president? Did He tell you if there will even be an election and if the result will be allowed to stand? Has He told you which of the two He wants?”
I told them, “As for me, He hasn’t told me yet. I’ve been asking Him who will be president, but He hasn’t answered, which means I have probably been asking the wrong question. I’m going to change my question to Will there be an election, and will the result be accepted?”
Shortly after that meeting, we were having a pastors conference in RCCG, and I told those present that God finally answered me concerning the elections. He said that one of the candidates would win but would not be allowed to rule, and this was exactly what happened. Asking God about situations and waiting on Him to speak will help a Christian to live above confusion.
One morning, I asked God which route to take to work to avoid being held up in traffic. He said, “You are not leaving the house today.” I began to quote the Bible to the One who wrote it, “Lord, You said that he who will not work should not eat. Your word also says, ‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not mean men!’ He insisted, so I said, “Okay. If they fire me, I’m sure You will provide another job.”
At that time, I had not listened to the radio, so I didn’t know that a military coup had happened. A short while later, there was chaos in a school in front of my house as parents rushed to pick up their children. That was when I put on my radio and heard what had happened. God’s voice shielded me from the pandemonium that broke out on the streets.
Beloved, train your spirit to hear God’s voice by spending time in His presence studying His word, worshipping, and waiting on Him. His voice will instruct you in the way you should go and protect you from evil.
Open Heaven 5 November PRAYER POINT
Father, please open my ears to hear You clearly always.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
John 9-10
Open Heaven 5 November HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
When We Walk With The Lord
In The Light Of His Word,
What A Glory He Sheds On Our Way!
While We Do His Good Will,
He Abides With Us Still,
And With All Who Will Trust And Obey!
Trust And Obey!
For There’s No Other Way
To Be Happy In Jesus,
But To Trust And Obey.
Not A Shadow Can Rise,
Not A Cloud In The Skies,
But His Smile Quickly Drives It Away;
Not A Doubt Nor A Fear,
Not A Sigh Nor A Tear,
Can Abide While We Trust And Obey!
Not A Burden We Bear,
Not A Sorrow We Share,
But Our Toil He Doth Richly Repay:
Not A Grief Nor A Loss,
Not A Frown Nor A Cross,
But Is Blessed If We Trust And Obey!
But We Never Can Prove
The Delights Of His Love
Until All On The Altar We Lay;
For The Favour He Shows,
And The Joy He Bestows,
Are For Those Who Will Trust And Obey.
Then In Fellowship Sweet
We Will Sit At His Feet,
Or We’ll Walk By His Side In The Way;
What He Says We Will Do,
Where He Sends We Will Go;
Never Fear, Only Trust And Obey!
