MEMORISE: But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18

READ: Matthew 13:5-6, 20-21 Open Heavens 3 June 2026

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 31-34

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 3 June 2026 Wednesday Daily Devotional

The second kind of soil Jesus described in His parable about the sower is ‘Stony places’. This soil type can be compared to people who receive the word of God with joy but turn their backs on it when they begin to encounter tough situations in their lives as a result of persecution.

Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you… John 15:20 In the Scripture above, Jesus said that His followers will be persecuted as He was also persecuted. Furthermore, Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:12 that every true follower of Christ will experience persecution in one form or another.

Being persecuted is a painful experience, and believers are not immune to it. In fact, going through the fires of persecution helps Christians to grow in faith (1 Peter 1:6-7, James 1:2-3). Despite this, however, the devil manages to convince some believers that the pain they are experiencing as a result of persecution is proof that God is unfaithful and that He does not love them. The devil succeeds in doing this because such Christians have not grown in the knowledge of God through His word and are largely ignorant of His ways, character, and power. Thus, their foundation in faith is very weak, and they are easily swayed by the devil. It is good to hear the word of God and even be excited by it.

Beyond that, however, every believer has the responsibility to build themselves up spiritually (1 Corinthians 3:9-1 0), and one of the ways to do this is by increasing their knowledge of God through His word. There is a popular saying that ignorance is bliss, but this is not true for a believer. Being in a state of ignorance about the word of God and making no efforts to build yourself up spiritually is very dangerous because it can lead to destruction (Hosea 4:6).

Beloved, do not allow yourself to fall victim to the wiles of the devil and be destroyed by him. Don’t just listen to the word of God from various ministers and get excited by it or be a believer who only opens the Bible on Sundays. Rather, be like the Bereans who took responsibility for knowing God by themselves (Acts 17:10-11). I pray that as you sow the seeds of the word of God daily into your heart, you will reap bountiful fruits of His goodness and mercy, in Jesus’ name.

Key Point – Open Heavens 3 June 2026

Growing in the knowledge of God through His word is important for every believer.

Open Heavens 3 June 2026 Wednesday 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!”

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have received Your word with joy but turned back when persecution or tribulation arose, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, give me deep roots in Your word. Let me not be like the stony ground where the seed springs up quickly but withers under the heat of trials, in Jesus’ name.

4. Lord, help me to understand that persecution is part of the Christian journey and that it works patience and maturity in me. Let me not be offended because of Your word, in Jesus’ name.

5. Father, deliver me from the destruction that comes from lack of knowledge. Let me not be ignorant of Your ways, character, and power, in Jesus’ name.

6. Lord, make me like the Bereans, who searched the Scriptures daily to confirm what they were taught. Let me take personal responsibility for knowing You through Your word, in Jesus’ name.

7. Father, build me up spiritually so that my foundation in faith is strong. Let no wind of false doctrine or wave of persecution shake me, in Jesus’ name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you have been weak in studying God’s word or where persecution has caused you to stumble, and ask God for a deeper root).

11. Thank You, Father, for hearing my prayer. I believe I am growing in grace and knowledge, and Your word is taking deep root in my heart, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
