*RCCG OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL*
*DATE: SATURDAY 27TH JUNE 2026*
*THEME: SEEING EYES II*
*MEMORISE:* And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. *ISAIAH 29:18*
*READ: GENESIS 21:14-19*
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
*MESSAGE:*
Yesterday, I mentioned that eyes that see are not just physical eyes. When the Lord gives you eyes that see, you will begin to experience relief in any situation where you might have previously experienced hardship.
In today’s Bible reading, as Hagar and her son, Ishmael, journeyed in the wilderness, they ran out of water to drink. The wilderness is not a place to wander in without water; hence, it did not take long before Ishmael got dehydrated and weak. He became so weak that his mother thought he would die. Knowing that there was nothing she could do to keep her son alive, she distanced herself from him and began to weep.
At that moment, God intervened and opened her eyes to see that the solution to her problem was right beside her.
There was a well of water close to her, but she didn’t see it until God opened her eyes. How sad would it have been if she had died of thirst without knowing that the solution she was seeking was so close to her.
If you are currently experiencing any challenges, I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the right solutions to them, in Jesus’ name.
When people don’t have seeing eyes, they will walk in darkness. They may have blessings all around them, but they may still suffer because they cannot see them.
Those who do not have seeing eyes are at the mercy of others. They stumble at things that shouldn’t ordinarily trip them up because they cannot see.
Darkness brings confusion and emptiness, and this is why the earth was void and without form until God commanded light to be Genesis 1:2.
Beloved, God wants to give you eyes that see so that you can see His numerous blessings and enjoy His never-ending goodness.
What He wanted Hagar to see was a well of water; however, for you, He might want you to see another source of income, a better way of doing all that He wants you to do, or better ways of relating with people.
He does not want you to live in darkness; rather, He wants you to be full of light. He wants to show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places.
I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see all the good things He has prepared for you, in Jesus’ name.
*PRAYER POINT:*
Lord, please give me seeing eyes so I can walk in Your light and not stumble in darkness.

*HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR*
1 I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
CHORUS:
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now my saviour;
I come to Thee!
2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
3 I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.
4 I need Thee every hour
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
5. I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
