MEMORISE: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Luke 4:18
READ: Luke 13:10-15 Open Heavens 18 April 2026
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 18 April 2026 Saturday Daily Devotional
Whenever God wants to reverse the irreversible, He usually follows a process, which typically starts with a divine appointment. What this means is that He will divinely arrange for people to meet one another.
There was once a 50-year-old man who had no wife simply because he couldn’t bring himself to ask a woman, “Will you marry me?” The enemy bound him so tightly that he couldn’t open his mouth to talk to any lady he was attracted to, even though he was highly educated. He knew he had a problem, but he didn’t know how to be free.
Fortunately for him, God instructed us to hold a programme in his town. During the programme, he gave his life to Jesus Christ. Not only did Jesus save his soul, but He destroyed the yoke in his life, and six months later, he got married. Nine months after he got married, his wife gave birth to a set of twins. Two years later, she gave birth to another set of twins. The man’s story is proof that no bondage is too strong for God to break. I pray for you today that any yoke that might be troubling you will be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus went to the synagogue as was His custom. However, on this particular day, He met a woman who had been bound by the devil for 18 years. She was bent over in such a way that she couldn’t stand upright. For 18 long years, she was limited in every aspect of her life. Despite the terrible bondage the woman was in, she met with Jesus at the synagogue and got her freedom.
The yoke of bondage that had kept her captive for so long was broken, and she was free to lift her head and hands to praise the Lord. Isaiah 10:27 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”
Therefore, I decree in the name that is above every other name, that whatsoever might be keeping you from lifting your head and hands to praise God is destroyed today. The Almighty God will cause you to have a divine encounter that will deliver you completely from anything that might have kept you bound, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point – Open Heavens 18 April 2026
Father, please let me have an encounter with You that will break any form of bondage that might exist in my Iife, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heavens 18 April 2026 Saturday Hymn
Hymn 15: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour
1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
2 Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. ]
4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav’n but Thee?
Prayer Points for Open Heavens 18 April 2026 – Reversing Bondage
1. Father, I thank You for the anointing of Jesus Christ that breaks every yoke. Thank You for sending Him to preach deliverance to captives and to set at liberty them that are bruised, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have remained silent about my bondage, accepted my limitations, or failed to seek Your face for complete deliverance, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I pray for a divine appointment with You today. Arrange every circumstance and person needed for me to have an encounter that will shatter every chain holding me captive, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, just as You loosed the woman who was bowed together for eighteen years, I command every spirit of infirmity, limitation, and bondage in my life to be loosed now. Let me stand upright and glorify Your name, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, destroy every yoke that has kept me from asking, from stepping out, from receiving what You have ordained for me. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit break every yoke of fear, rejection, and inability, in Jesus’ name.

7. Father, let me have an encounter with You in the synagogue of my life—in church, in prayer, in Your word—that will deliver me completely from every form of bondage, whether visible or hidden, in Jesus’ name.
8. Lord, I reject every spirit that has kept me bowed down—depression, shame, poverty, sickness, or stagnation. I receive the grace to lift my head and my hands to praise You without hindrance, in Jesus’ name.
9. Father, for everyone reading this who has been bound for years—eighteen, thirty-eight, or a lifetime—let this be their day of liberation. Let the yoke be destroyed by the anointing, in Jesus’ name.
10. My personal prayer point: (Mention any specific bondage—fear, addiction, inability, oppression—that you need God to reverse and destroy).
11. Thank You, Father, for the promise of deliverance. I believe I am set free, and I will walk in liberty all the days of my life, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
