MEMORISE: Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. Zephaniah 3:19
READ: John 2:1-11 Open Heavens 22 April 2026
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew; ) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 22 April 2026 Wednesday Daily Devotional
Sometime ago, a woman came to the church, saying, “Please, help me, I don’t know what to do. My husband keeps wandering aimlessly at night without being in full control of his senses.” We led her to Christ and prayed with her. Shortly after, she was promoted at her workplace and got a new car. As she couldn’t drive, she begged her husband to drive her to church so that her pastor could bless the car. He agreed and told her that he would only drive to the church premises, but he wouldn’t enter the building. He did so and sat in the car while his wife entered the church building. As he sat in the car, he could hear the sermon being preached. After some time, an altar call was made, and he went inside the church to gave his life to Christ.
Some weeks later, the devil attacked him while he was driving to work. He lost his senses immediately and began to drive around aimlessly until the Holy Spirit took control and instructed him to drive to the church. When he got to the church and stepped out of the car, people could tell immediately that something was wrong with him. They sprang into action and helped him into the church. We prayed for him, and God took control of the situation. God knew beforehand that trouble was coming for the man, and if he hadn’t become born again, he would have gone mad. Therefore, He arranged for a place where he could turn to in the day of trouble. I pray that every plan of shame the enemy has arranged for you will be cancelled today, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s Bible reading, a couple was getting married, and Jesus was invited to the feast. Everything was going well until they ran out of wine. They had not even started their lives together, but they were already experiencing a crisis and were on the verge of being put to shame.
Thankfully, Jesus turned what would have resulted in shame into honor, as they later had more than enough good wine to serve their guests.
Beloved, Romans 10:11 says that whosoever believes in God will not be ashamed. If you are currently in a shameful situation, put your trust in God and cry out to Him. He will heed your cry and turn your shame into a testimony, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please never let me experience shame in any area of my life, in Jesus’
Open Heavens 22 April 2026 Wednesday Hymn
Hymn 27: What A Friend We Have In Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
Prayer Points for Open Heavens 22 April 2026 Wednesday – REVERSING SHAME
1. Father, I thank You for being the God who turns shame into praise and fame. Thank You for the miracle at the wedding in Cana, where You replaced lack with abundance, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have allowed fear of shame to keep me from trusting You fully, or for any sin that has opened the door to reproach in my life, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, according to Zephaniah 3:19, undo every affliction in my life and save me from every situation that causes me to halt. Gather me from wherever I have been driven out, and give me praise and fame in every land where I have been put to shame, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, just as You turned the water into wine at the wedding, turn every lack, every deficiency, and every potential source of shame in my life into abundant supply and honor. Let my shameful situations become testimonies of Your glory, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I pray for every couple whose marriage is on the verge of shame—whether due to financial lack, childlessness, or misunderstanding. Let Jesus be invited into their home, and let His miracle-working power reverse every crisis, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, I pray for the husband who wandered at night without control of his senses. I pray for everyone suffering from mental afflictions, confusion, or demonic attacks. Let them encounter Christ and receive deliverance, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, protect me and my family from every plan of shame the enemy has arranged. Let every trap set to embarrass me be destroyed, and let me not be put to shame because I trust in You, according to Romans 10:11, in Jesus’ name.
8. Lord, arrange divine connections and opportunities for salvation for those who are yet to know You, just as You arranged for the husband to hear the sermon from his car. Let the gates of salvation open for my loved ones before trouble comes, in Jesus’ name.
9. Father, I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I condemn. Let my life be a testimony of Your faithfulness, turning every potential shame into glory, in Jesus’ name.
10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you fear shame—marriage, finances, family, career—and ask God to reverse them into honor).
11. Thank You, Father, for the promise that whoever believes in You will not be ashamed. I trust You completely, and I know my testimony is coming, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
