RCCG Open Heaven 10 October 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – HOLD ON TO JESUS

Topic: HOLD ON TO JESUS

Memorise:

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
— Haggai 2:9 (KJV)

Read: Psalm 105:16-22 (KJV)

16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

RCCG Open Heavens 10 October 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Have you ever faced a situation that seemed overwhelming to handle? You might have asked a lot of questions like, “Why doesn’t God just promote me? Why do I have to go through these unpleasant situations before He takes me to the next level?” Joseph probably asked these questions as he went from one unpleasant situation to another. Just when he thought everything was fine in Potiphar’s house, God introduced the prison to refine him further.

However, when God was through with him, he became so blessed that the destiny of nations and generations depended on him. Today’s Bible reading tells us about how he moved from being a servant to being a ruler. The word of the Lord tested Joseph (Psalm 105:19), and when God saw that he was ready for the highest level of blessing, the king sent for him, freed him from prison, and made him a ruler in Egypt. Beloved, I pray for you today that God will promote you to a higher level and make you stand before kings, in Jesus’ name.

Some people receive what appear to be automatic promotions. Such people seem not to do anything before they experience a blessing. This is good, and many people love such promotions. However, this is not often the case for everyone. Some people undergo numerous trials to the point where they begin to wonder why they must endure such daunting challenges before being promoted. If you are currently going through such trials, don’t despair. Even though your beginning may be small, your end will greatly increase, in Jesus’ name (Job 8:7).

In Genesis 32:6-7, Esau, who got a ‘remnant’ blessing, became so mighty that he had 400 bodyguards. Without doubt, he was a great man. This means that, regardless of how challenging your beginning might have been, you can still experience significant positive changes in the latter part of your life. It doesn’t matter how you start; what matters is how you end.

Beloved, no matter what you may be going through currently, hold on to Jesus. Don’t seek shortcuts from the world; instead, follow God’s due process, and you will surely enter into the glorious future He has prepared for you. I am sure of this because Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). I pray that when you face trials, you will be found faithful, ready, and well-positioned for your next-level blessing, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Point:
Father, please help me not to take shortcuts but to follow Your due process as You take me to my next level of blessings, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year:
Matthew 23-24

Through eternal ages let His praises ring;

Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my All in All,
Standing on the promises of God.

Open Heaven Devotional 10 October 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer calls you to hold on to Jesus through every trial. Your trials are not punishments—they are preparations for a greater latter glory.

Major Keywords: Hold on to Jesus, Joseph’s journey, trials before promotion, latter glory, God’s due process.

Commentary Summary:

• Joseph’s Journey: From pit to Potiphar’s house to prison, Joseph endured one trial after another. But the word of the Lord tested him until the appointed time. Then God promoted him to ruler over Egypt.

• Not Everyone Gets Automatic Promotion: Some seem to be blessed without effort. But others endure numerous trials before their breakthrough. Don’t despair—Job 8:7 declares your latter end will greatly increase.

• It’s Not How You Start: Esau received a ‘remnant’ blessing yet became mighty with 400 bodyguards. Your beginning does not determine your ending. God specializes in turning small beginnings into great endings.

• Key Truth: Hold on to Jesus. Don’t seek shortcuts. Follow God’s due process. Your latter glory will be greater than your former. Christ in you is the hope of glory.

Reference to Theme: This message, HOLD ON TO JESUS, encourages you to remain faithful in the trial. The process is not punishment—it is preparation. God is refining you for the promotion that awaits. Don’t give up. Don’t take shortcuts. Hold on.

Action Steps:

1. Don’t Run Ahead of God: Resist the temptation to take shortcuts. Refuse ungodly options. Trust God’s timing, even when it feels slow.

2. Stay Faithful in the Process: Keep serving, keep praying, keep obeying. Be faithful in the small things while you wait for the big things.

3. Remember Your Latter Glory: Write down Haggai 2:9 and Job 8:7. Place them where you can see them daily. Let them remind you that your best days are ahead.
