MEMORISE: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Revelation 3:15
READ: Matthew 13:7, 22 Open Heavens 4 June 2026
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 35-38
MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 4 June 2026 Thursday Daily Devotional
The third kind of soil Jesus described in His parable about the Sower, is Thorny ground. He compared this soil type to people who hear God’s word but are distracted by many things that prevent the word from bearing fruit in their lives. This type of people appears to love God’s word, but clearly not enough to change their ways or let go of some worldly pleasures. A male chorister in a church choir who serves God fervently but still fornicates is an example of someone with a thorny heart. Such people received the word of God at a point, but they did not allow it to change them.
Some Christians argue by asking questions like, “Where is it written in the Bible that drinking alcohol is a sin?” Some others even say that listening to worldly music is not a sin as long as they do not do what the lyrics of the songs say, or that gambling is not bad so long as the Bible doesn’t say so. Whenever I hear such statements, I know that they are coming from thorny hearts. They want to serve God, but they are unwilling to let go of worldly pleasures. If you find yourself trying to find loopholes through which you can serve God and still do some of the things unbelievers usually do, beware, that is a major symptom of a thorny heart.
Being God’s child is not about following rules and regulations; it is about being like Christ. When the Holy Spirit is truly dwelling in you, you will flee things that can hinder your relationship with God or cause unbelievers to blaspheme His name, whether they are clearly referred to as sins in the Bible or not. For instance, if a Christian man puts his hand around the waist of a woman who is not his wife, it can be argued that he didn’t break his vows to his wife, but it is clearly inappropriate. Also, such an action can make unbelievers speak against the faith.
Beloved, many people have lost their relationships with Christ because they do not want to change completely for Him. They want to do whatever they like and still hold on to Jesus. If you are living this way, you need to have a change of heart today because there will be no fruits to show from your walk with God. I pray that you will live a fruitful life as a Christian, in Jesus’ name.
Reflection – Open Heavens 4 June 2026
Are you fully surrendered to God, or are you looking for loopholes in His word so you can behave like the world?
Open Heavens 4 June 2026 Thursday Hymn
Hymn 7: I Am Thine O Lord
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.
Prayer Points for Open Heavens 4 June 2026 – A Brand-New Heart IV
1. Father, I thank You for Your word that exposes the condition of my heart and calls me to full surrender. Thank You for not leaving me in my lukewarm state, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have tried to find loopholes in Your word, seeking to serve You while still holding on to worldly pleasures, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, uproot every thorn of worldliness from my heart—the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust for pleasures that choke Your word, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, deliver me from the spirit of compromise that makes me want to be like the world while claiming to be Your child. Let me not be a chorister who serves fervently but lives in secret sin, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I repent of every argument that tries to justify sin—asking where the Bible says drinking is wrong, or claiming that worldly music is harmless. Give me a heart that flees even the appearance of evil, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, help me to understand that being Your child is not about following rules but about being like Christ. Let the Holy Spirit so dwell in me that I naturally hate what You hate and love what You love, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, remove every thorny ground in my heart that makes me unfruitful. Let Your word take deep root and produce a harvest of righteousness, peace, and joy, in Jesus’ name.
8. Lord, I pray for every believer who is looking for loopholes to behave like the world. Open their eyes to see that partial surrender is no surrender at all, in Jesus’ name.
9. Father, I receive the grace to be fully surrendered to You—not hot and cold, but burning with love for You. Let me not be ashamed of the gospel or of living a holy life, in Jesus’ name.
10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you have been compromising—entertainment, relationships, financial practices—and ask God to remove the thorns from your heart).
11. Thank You, Father, for hearing my prayer. I believe You are giving me a brand-new heart, one that loves You completely and bears fruit that remains, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
