OPEN HEAVEN 24 APRIL 2026 FRIDAY: DIVINE VISITATION II
MEMORISE: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. Luke 1:78
BIBLE READING: PSALM 65:9-13 (KJV)
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
OPEN HEAVEN 24 APRIL 2026 MESSAGE:
Years ago, I travelled to Port Harcourt, a city in the South-South region of Nigeria, to hold a crusade, and God specifically told me who I was to stay with.
I obeyed the Lord, but I wondered why He chose this person because he was not a member of our church; we were just acquaintances, and I had many spiritual children I could have stayed with in that city.
When I arrived at the fellow’s home, he treated me like a king. He also introduced me to his children, and I got on very well with them.
One of them clung to me closely, and I started calling him my friend.
On the second day of the crusade, I was preparing to go to the crusade venue when my host drove in from his children’s school.
I saw his other children with him, but I didn’t see the one I called my friend, so I asked after him.
To my shock, he replied, “Your friend is in the hospital, dying.”
He added that he would not have told me if I had not asked, because he saw that I was preparing to go to the crusade venue.
Immediately, God told me, “This is why I asked you to stay here.” I then said to him, “We will go to the hospital first.
The crusade will wait.” We went to the hospital, and I saw the boy sweating profusely even though he was completely naked in an air-conditioned room.
I was told at that point that he had been poisoned in school. As I looked at the doctor, he signalled to me that there was no hope for the boy.
Since God had earlier told me that He orchestrated my stay with the family for that reason, I simply said a short prayer and left for the crusade.
After the crusade, I returned to the man’s house, and as I was settling in, he drove in with my friend. He had been discharged from the hospital!
Beloved, as you see in today’s Bible reading, many good things will happen to you when God visits you.
However, He cannot visit you and give you those good things if you have not given your life to Jesus Christ.
If you are not yet born again, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and surrender your life completely to Him.
When you do this, He will make you a part of His family and visit you with many tremendous blessings.
When God visits His children, blessings follow.

JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW
1 Jesus loves me, this I know,

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
2 Jesus loves me he who died
heaven’s gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in. [Refrain]
3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, “Let them come to me.” [Refrain]
