RCCG Open Heaven 10 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – ACCELERATED AND EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTIONS

Topic: ACCELERATED AND EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTIONS

Memorise:

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
— 1 Corinthians 1:26 (KJV)

Read: Joshua 1:1-2 (KJV)

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

RCCG Open Heaven 10 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

The word ‘minister’ in the olden days basically referred to a servant who ran all sorts of errands for his or her master. Such errands would often include emptying and washing the master’s chamber pot, doing the master’s laundry, washing his feet, and the like. While Moses was alive, Joshua was his minister, so you can imagine how shocking it must have been for the latter when God informed him that he was to become the leader of Israel after his master’s demise. This is a good example of an accelerated and extraordinary promotion. The promotion was so sudden that Joshua became very anxious over the weight of his new responsibility. I know this because in today’s Bible reading, God had to tell him three times to be strong and of good courage. I decree today that God will promote you in such a manner, in Jesus’ name.

Whenever I see people struggling for promotion and desiring to be in leadership positions, I know it is because they do not understand God’s ways. God never gives accelerated and extraordinary promotions to the wise or the qualified. He never gives it to those who think they are brilliant enough to explain the scientific permutations behind His workings. He always uses the foolish and weak things to confound the wise and mighty things (1 Corinthians 1:27). Therefore, people who think they are strong and wise enough to work out their promotion should not expect accelerated and extraordinary promotions from God because He only accelerates the promotion of those who will never take His glory for themselves.

On the day my wife and I got married at the marriage registry, we met a lady there who was dressed in a wedding gown. However, she wasn’t with her groom; the man had abandoned her. The lady nearly ran mad, but she survived. After some time, she married a soldier. Unknown to her, the man who jilted her on their wedding day also joined the army. Then God moved. A military coup occurred, and her husband was made a military governor. Incidentally, the man who jilted her was assigned as her husband’s aide-de-camp. Thus, anytime she wanted to enter a car, it was her former husband-to-be who would open the door for her since she was the wife of a military governor.

Beloved, I decree today that God will accelerate your promotion, and all those who have been mocking you will be confounded, in Jesus’ name.

Key Point:
God only accelerates the promotion of those who will not take His glory for themselves.

Bible in One Year:
Daniel 1-3

Hymn 48: Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

Verse 1:
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Chorus:
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Verse 2:
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief,
Kneeling there in deep contrition;
Help my unbelief.

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?

(Chorus)

Open Heaven Devotional 10 September 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer gives accelerated and extraordinary promotions to those who are humble servants, not to those who are wise in their own eyes. God uses the weak and foolish to confound the wise and mighty.

Major Keywords: Accelerated promotion, extraordinary promotion, Joshua’s promotion, humility and servanthood, divine vindication.

Commentary Summary:

• Joshua’s Sudden Promotion: From washing Moses’ feet to leading Israel—an accelerated, extraordinary promotion. God had to tell him three times to be strong and courageous because the weight of it was overwhelming.

• God’s Selection Criteria: He does not promote the wise, the mighty, or the qualified. He promotes the humble who will not take His glory. If you try to work out your promotion through human means, you may miss God’s supernatural speed.

• The Power of Divine Vindication: The story of the woman abandoned at the altar who later became a military governor’s wife—while her former fiancé opened her car door—shows God confounds mockers and promotes His servants.

• Key Truth: God accelerates promotion for those who will give Him all the glory. Humble service positions you for extraordinary lifting.

Reference to Theme: This message, ACCELERATED AND EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTIONS, continues the promotion series by revealing that God’s promotions are sudden, shocking, and often given to the unexpected. Your role is to serve humbly and trust Him for the lift.

Action Steps:

1. Embrace Humble Service: Don’t look down on “small” tasks. Joshua’s path to leadership started with washing feet and running errands.

2. Stop the Human Struggle: Quit trying to manipulate your way into leadership or promotion. Trust God’s timing and His methods instead.

3. Give Him the Glory: In your current successes, always acknowledge God so that He can trust you with even greater, “accelerated” liftings.
