MEMORISE: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righ te ousness: for they shalI be filled. Matthew 5:6
READ: Exodus 33:7-11 Open Heavens 8 April 2026
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that everyone which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 8 April 2026 Tuesday Daily Devotional
Yesterday, I stated that serving God wholeheartedly and honoring those whom He has placed over you is a channel through which you can carry His fire. Today, I will discuss another thing that can make you a carrier of God’s fire- your level of hunger and thirst for Him.
In today’s Bible reading, God spoke face to face with Moses in a pillar of cloud in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Joshua was with him. After Moses’ conversation with God, he departed from the tabernacle, but Joshua stayed behind because he was so hungry for God’s presence. While others were enjoying the comfort of their tents, Joshua remained before the Consuming Fire, and l am sure that he was communing with Him and seeking His face. In Numbers 27:18, God attested to the fact that he was a man …in whom is the spirit…” and instructed Moses to lay hands on him.
Elisha was another person whose hunger attracted God’s fire. The moment Elijah put his mantle on him; he left everything and followed the man of God (1 Kings 19:19- 21). When it was time for Elijah to be taken away from him into heaven, he told him to ask for anything he wanted. At that time, Elisha had become so hungry to see greater manifestations of God’s glory that he wanted to do greater works than his master. He didn’t care about material things; his only hunger was for God. When Elijah heard his servant’s request, he replied, “You have asked a hard thing, but if you see me while l am being taken away, it will be as you have asked” (2 Kings 2:9-10).
Being on a long journey would have made many other people tired and sleepy, but Elisha was not. His hunger kept him awake and aware of everything that was happening around him. His heart was fixed on what he wanted, and this was what made him see the chariot of fire as it appeared, and Elijah being taken up into heaven by a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11-12).
Beloved, no matter who lays hands on you, the fire of God will not come upon you if you are not hungry and thirsty for God’s presence and glory. Even though a piece of wood has the potential to catch fire, it will not catch fire if it is not dry. Only those who are hungry and thirsty for God’s presence and glory will receive His fire to do exploits in their generation.
Prayer Point – Open Heavens 8 April 2026

1 I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

1. Father, I thank You for the promise that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. Thank You for inviting me to pursue Your presence with all my heart, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have been satisfied with less of You, chosen comfort over Your presence, or allowed distractions to pull me away from seeking Your face, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, give me the spirit of Joshua, who remained in the tabernacle after Moses left. Let me not depart from Your presence, no matter how long it takes or how uncomfortable it becomes, in Jesus’ name.
