OPEN HEAVEN 28 APRIL 2026 TUESDAY: WHEN HE IS IN THE BOAT I

MEMORISE: And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.  Exodus 33:15

READ: Mark 4:35-41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

MESSAGE

Years ago, I travelled to Abonnema in Rivers State, Nigeria, to hold a crusade.

At that time, the only way one could get to Abonnema from Port Harcourt, the state capital, was by sea.

Shortly before the crusade, we heard that a boat capsized on that sea and many people lost their lives.

That news, however, did not deter me, as I had made up my mind to go for the crusade.

I called a meeting with the workers at the RCCG National Headquarters in Ebute-Meta and asked for volunteers to accompany me.

One of the workers raised his hand and asked me, “Sir, can I be in your boat?” I told him that he could.

Then he responded, “That will be good.” I asked him why he said so, and he replied that he knew that whatever boat I travelled in would not sink.

He had so much confidence in a mere mortal like me because he knew that God is with me.

In today’s Bible reading, the disciples were travelling in a ship with Jesus.

After a while, a terrible storm arose, but to their surprise, He remained fast asleep. In fear, they woke Him up, and He stilled the storm.

After that, they arrived at their destination safely. This is a testament to the fact that it is a great blessing to have Jesus in the boat of your life!

Beloved, if you are a child of God, Jesus is in your boat as you journey through the waters of life.

I know this because He said in Matthew 28:20 that He will be with you at all times.

This is why, in the midst of life’s challenges, you must trust the One who is in the boat of your life because He alone has the power to make you victorious.

If God is in the boat of your life, no weapon that is fashioned against you will prosper.

If you involve Him in every step you take, you can rest assured that all your endeavors will turn out fine.

If you have not yet given your life to Christ, surrender completely to Him today and acknowledge Him as the Controller of your life.

When you do this, He will not only begin to direct your ways, but He will also walk with you every step of the way as you journey through life.

When Jesus is in your boat, you will overcome every storm.

 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 1-2

 

HYMN 29: WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH

1 When peace like a river attended my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul

Refrain:

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

2 My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin, not in part but the whole

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh, my soul

3 And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll

The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend

Even so, it is

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 TUESDAY

  OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 TUESDAY: THE LORD IS MY PEACE OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 MEMORISE: “ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 BIBLE READING: ACTS 27:7-44 (KJV) 7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8. And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10. And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. ...
