MEMORISE: With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Ephesians 6:7
READ: Genesis 18:1-10 Open Heavens 26 April 2026
1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 22-23
MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 26 April 2026 Sunday Daily Devotional
Today, I will be discussing how God’s children can attract His help by serving Him willingly, joyfully, and wholeheartedly.
In today’s Bible reading, when Abraham saw three men passing by his tent, he ran to meet them and invited them to take a break from their journey by resting under the shade of a nearby tree. Even though they were complete strangers, he voluntarily offered to host them, and by so doing, he unknowingly hosted God’s presence. Abraham’s hospitality must have prompted God to arise for him and heal the barrenness he was experiencing in his marriage. Those who serve God voluntarily always attract His help.
One day, someone asked me, “Sir, what do you think about instrumentalists who insist on being paid by churches before they minister with their instruments? Should they be paid?” I replied, “No one pays for the same service twice. If they insist on being paid before they minister, the church should pay them. However, they should not expect any special blessing from God for their service because the church has already paid them.” If a fellow insists on being paid to serve God, such a fellow should not expect any special help from God on account of that service. A son who asks his father to pay him before he will wash the father’s car cannot expect to enjoy the same benefits as the one who serves the father willingly and joyfully. One of the reasons I enjoy God’s help today is that I left everything to serve Him when there was nothing enticing, humanly speaking, about working for Him.
There is a difference between serving man and serving God. With a man, it is possible for a fellow to get away with eye service and even get promoted, even though he or she is not serving willingly from the heart. However, God sees the heart, and if anyone serves Him unwillingly, He does not owe such a person any reward.
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 2 Corinthians 12:15
In the Scripture above, Apostle Paul expressed his willingness to spend and be spent for the work of God, not only because he loved God but also because he loved the people whom God had sent him to. Beloved, if you want to attract God’s help, serve Him willingly and wholeheartedly. He is faithful, and He will never forget your labour of love (Hebrews 6:10).
Key Point – Open Heavens 26 April 2026
Those who serve God willingly, joyfully, and wholeheartedly will attract His help and blessings.
Open Heavens 26 April 2026 Sunday Hymn
Hymn 4: To The Work, To The Work
1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.
Refrain:
Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on:
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labor till the Master comes.
2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, “Salvation is free!”
3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,
In the loud-swelling chorus, “Salvation is free!”
4 To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed, “Salvation is free!”
Prayer Points for Open Heavens 26 April 2026 – Attracting God’s Help II
1. Father, I thank You for the example of Abraham, who served willingly and joyfully and attracted Your divine help and blessing, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have served You grudgingly, reluctantly, or with an expectation of payment or recognition, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, give me a heart that serves You willingly, joyfully, and wholeheartedly, not for what I can get, but out of love and gratitude for all You have done for me, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, like Abraham who ran to meet strangers and hosted them lavishly, let me be hospitable and generous to Your servants and Your people, knowing that I may be hosting angels unaware, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I release every expectation of earthly reward for my service, and I ask that You reward me with blessings that only You can give—healing, fruitfulness, breakthroughs, and divine visitation, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, I pray for every minister, instrumentalist, usher, and volunteer in Your church who serves without expecting payment. Let their labour of love not be forgotten, and let them receive special help from You, in Jesus’ name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas of service in your church, community, or family, and ask God for a willing heart and divine reward).
11. Thank You, Father, for the promise that those who serve You willingly will attract Your help and blessings. I will serve You with joy all the days of my life, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
