OPEN HEAVEN 13 MARCH 2025 THURSDAY: FROM ‘NO’ TO ‘YES’
OPEN HEAVEN 13 MARCH 2025 MEMORISE: “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.” Daniel 2:21
OPEN HEAVEN 13 MARCH 2025 READ: MATTHEW 15:21-28 (KJV)
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
25 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
26 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
27 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
OPEN HEAVEN 13 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE:
God never changes, but He can change things; this is why I call Him the Unchangeable Changer.
He can change a ‘No’ to a ‘Yes’. In today’s Bible reading, a woman came to Jesus, asking Him to heal her daughter.
Jesus initially refused to answer her, then later on, told her ‘no’. She, however, persisted, and He eventually turned His ‘No’ into a ‘Yes’.
During a church programme, God’s word came that someone who was applying for a US visa had just received it.
A young lady, who had an interview at the US embassy the following Monday, was so excited because she believed the prophecy was for her.
Her visa application was, however, declined. Surprised, she told the visa officer, “But my daddy said the visa has been granted.”
The officer looked at her and said, “Who is your daddy?” She replied, “My daddy is Pastor Adeboye.” The officer laughed, “I thought you were going to say the president or governor, but a pastor? Please leave.”
As she turned to leave, the visa officer said, “Wait. Because you made me laugh, I’ll give you the visa.”
It wasn’t laughter that turned the situation around; it was because there is a God who can change a ‘No’ to a ‘Yes’.
Sometimes, God changes the ‘No’ of His children’s enemies to a ‘Yes’.
Pharaoh kept saying ‘No’ to Moses’ demands to let God’s people go, but God arose in His mighty power to change that ‘No’ to a ‘Yes’.
In one night, He dealt with all the firstborns in Egypt because Pharaoh refused to allow His firstborn, Israel, to serve Him (Exodus 4:22-23).
I pray that every ‘No’ from a boss or someone in authority who has prevented you from making progress in life will be turned into a ‘Yes’ now, in Jesus’ name.
Have faith in God and keep trusting Him. Like the woman who persistently asked Jesus for healing for her daughter and got it eventually, your persistent faith will open doors that have remained shut against you.
Moses kept going to Pharaoh until God forced him to change his ‘No’ into a ‘Yes’.
Beloved, as you keep trusting in God, I decree that every door that has remained shut and has prevented you from fulfilling your destiny will be opened now.
Every ‘No’ that is not in line with God’s will is turning into a ‘Yes’ for you, in Jesus’ name.
Persistent faith in God will turn a ‘No’ into a ‘Yes’.
OPEN HEAVEN 13 MARCH 2025 HYMN 30 –
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 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.
Refrain:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]
3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
