RCCG Open Heaven 19 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

In life, the end of anything must be given more attention than its beginning. I am the son of a farmer, who was so poor that poor people called him poor. For the first 18 years of my life, I didn’t own any shoes, but God has transformed me into someone who is celebrated all over the world today.

Child of God, what is essential in life is not how your life began, but how it progresses and ultimately ends. No matter how rough your past may have been, you must forge ahead and not allow it to weigh you down. If you were a terrible sinner, for instance, you must note that you are now born again, and you must not think that God cannot use you like He is using others. Your former nature is gone; you are born again, and you are a new person altogether (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Some may have believed that Elisha had already reached his peak as a prosperous farmer in 1 Kings 19:19, but in truth, God’s greater purpose for his life had only just begun. When the hand of the Lord came upon him, he became a renowned prophet with access to kings, nations, and economies. When you truly walk with Jesus, your past achievements will pale in comparison to the glory God will reveal through you. 2 Corinthians 3:1-18 discusses the ministry of condemnation and the ministry of righteousness. Here, Paul was comparing Moses’ ministry with Jesus’ ministry. Although Moses’ ministry was temporary, it was still described as glorious, but its glory was nothing compared to the eternal and enduring glory of Jesus Christ.

Whatever glory you think you have experienced in your life up until now pales in comparison to what God has in store for you. Beloved, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain when you surrender to Jesus. In Acts 2, after the Holy Spirit came upon Peter and the other apostles, he preached the gospel and warned his listeners to save themselves from the corrupt generation in which they lived (Acts 2:40). I also urge you to save yourself from this corrupt generation. Just as those who heard Peter received his word gladly and were baptised (Acts 2:41), I encourage you to receive this word gladly. I pray that the Almighty God will keep leading you from glory to glory, in Jesus’ name.

Key Point:
No matter how your past has been, God has designed a glorious end for you.

Bible in One Year:
Amos 5-9

Hymn: I’m Pressing On the Upward Way

Verse 1:
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on Heaven’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Verse 2:
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil and its strife,
To know more fully Christ, the Life.

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

(Chorus)

Open Heaven Devotional 19 September 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer declares that greater is the end. Your past—no matter how humble or sinful—does not determine your future. God has designed a glorious ending for you.

Major Keywords: Greater is the end, latter end increase, Elisha’s greater purpose, from glory to glory, new creation in Christ.

Commentary Summary:

• Your Beginning Does Not Define You: Daddy Adeboye had no shoes for 18 years, born to a poor farmer. Today, he is celebrated worldwide. Your past is not your destiny.

• Elisha’s Greater Purpose: He was a prosperous farmer, but God’s greater purpose had only begun. When God’s hand came upon him, he became a prophet with access to kings and nations.

• Moses’ Glory vs. Christ’s Glory: Even the glorious ministry of Moses paled in comparison to the eternal glory of Jesus. Whatever glory you have experienced is nothing compared to what God has in store.

• Key Truth: Job 8:7 declares your latter end will greatly increase. Forget the past, receive God’s word gladly, and press toward the glorious future He has prepared.

Reference to Theme: This message, GREATER IS THE END, encourages you to focus on your destination, not your starting point. God specializes in turning humble beginnings and broken pasts into glorious testimonies.

Action Steps:

1. Stop Remembering the “Former You”: Draw a line under your past. If you are born again, actively refuse to let old sins, failures, or family limitations dictate your identity today.

2. Cultivate Patience over Pride: Ecclesiastes 7:8 reminds us that “the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Trust God’s timing. Do not use sinful shortcuts to force a breakthrough before your “due season.”

3. Receive the Word Gladly: Just as the crowd in Acts 2 received Peter’s message gladly and was baptized, make a conscious decision to receive God’s promise of a glorious end with joy and active faith.
