RCCG Open Heaven 2 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – TRADING WITH GOD I

Topic: TRADING WITH GOD I

Memorise:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
— Galatians 6:7 (KJV)

Read: 2 Chronicles 1:6-15 (KJV)

6 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.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 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.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

RCCG Open Heaven 2 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Some years ago, a member of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International declared that he would cover the cost of every evangelistic programme held in his chapter throughout that year, and everyone agreed. Later that year, the man shared the testimonies about what the Lord had done for him as a result of his giving, and the other members of the fellowship were truly amazed. Then, he offered to cover all the costs of the chapter’s evangelistic programmes for the next year, but other members of the fellowship said in unison, “No way!” They also wanted to partake of the blessings that come with giving and didn’t want the man to enjoy them alone.

In today’s Bible reading, we read that Solomon sowed a thousand burnt offerings as a sacrifice to God, and that night, God appeared to him and asked what he wanted. Solomon asked for the gift of wisdom. God granted his request and also gave him unparalleled riches, wealth, and honour. Solomon was so blessed that the Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 7:5 that when he gave another offering, he sacrificed 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep!

One of the many beautiful things about trading with God is that God can never owe any man. If you give Him something, He will repay you monumentally. Nobody trades with God and suffers a loss. Hebrews 11:6 calls Him a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.

John 6:5-13 tells us the story of a boy who offered his five loaves of bread and two small fishes for Jesus to feed the multitudes. What happened next was that he witnessed one of the greatest miracles of all time, as he watched his tiny lunch multiply to feed thousands. Apart from that, he also received twelve baskets of leftover food, which I believe were given to him since it was his lunch that was used to feed the multitude. A child who came with a little lunch pack suddenly needed the help of adults to carry baskets of food back to his house.

Beloved, Ephesians 3:20 says that God can do exceeding abundantly above all that you can ask or think. This clearly shows that you can never trade with God and become worse for it. Whatever you give to God will be given back to you in multiple folds, far beyond your wildest imagination.

Key Point:
Nobody trades with God and suffers a loss.

Bible in One Year:
Ezekiel 28-30

Hymn 52: There Shall Be Showers of Blessings

Verse 1:
There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

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

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

(Chorus)

Verse 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.

(Chorus)

Verse 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!

(Chorus)

Open Heaven Devotional 2 September 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer invites you to trade with God—the only investment with a guaranteed, monumental return. Whatever you give Him is multiplied and returned in ways beyond your imagination.

Major Keywords: Trading with God, sowing and reaping, Solomon’s offering, boy with five loaves, supernatural harvest.

Commentary Summary:

• Trading with God is Profitable: Galatians 6:7 establishes the principle—what you sow, you reap. Unlike earthly investments, trading with God guarantees a return. He cannot owe anyone.

• Solomon’s Radical Sacrifice: He offered a thousand burnt offerings. God appeared and offered him anything. He asked for wisdom, and God added riches, wealth, and honour beyond measure. Solomon continued to sow abundantly (22,000 oxen, 120,000 sheep) and reaped accordingly.

• The Boy with the Loaves: A small lunch of five loaves and two fish was multiplied to feed thousands. The boy didn’t lose—he received twelve baskets of leftovers. Your little seed can produce a harvest too big for you to carry alone.

• Key Truth: God rewards those who seek Him diligently (Hebrews 11:6). He does exceeding abundantly above all you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Give to God freely; He will repay you monumentally.

Reference to Theme: This message, TRADING WITH GOD I, introduces the series by showing that giving to God is not a loss—it is the highest-yield investment possible. Solomon’s wealth and the boy’s abundance prove that God multiplies what is sown in faith.

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your Seed: What do you have that you can trade with God? Your time, skills, finances, or talents? Offer it to Him.

2. Give Cheerfully and Radically: Don’t give the minimum. Like Solomon, look for opportunities to give extravagantly to show your love for God.

3. Be Consistent: Keep sowing. Don’t let others take your place in giving. Stay committed and stay in the flow of God’s rewards.
