Open Heavens 18 June 2026 Thursday – Always Thank God
MEMORISE: It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: Psalm 92:1
READ: Matthew 15:30-38 Open Heavens 18 June 2026
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
26 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

MESSAGE – Open Heavens 18 June 2026 Thursday Daily Devotional
Years ago, a very wealthy man came to see me and said that he was having trouble sleeping. He also said he was told that if I prayed for him, the problem would be solved. He added that he would give me 14 houses if l prayed for him, and the problem was solved. Of course, he didn’t need to offer me his houses for me to pray for him, but his desperation to be able to sleep made him say so. Being able to sleep is one of the many divine blessings that are often taken for granted until one can no longer sleep or sees people who can’t.
Beloved, you have a lot to thank God for, and living a life of thanksgiving makes you quick to recognize God’s goodness in your life. Even amid challenges, when you are thankful, you will find many reasons to praise God. You will be quick to acknowledge that God is the reason things are not worse. You will also be confident that God is working things out in your favor (Romans 8:28).
When people thank God, He opens the windows of heaven to pour out His blessings upon them. In today’s Bible reading, there were 4,000 hungry men, besides women and children, with Jesus and His disciples. Jesus had compassion on them and wanted to feed them; so, He asked His disciples to tell Him how much food they had. They replied that they had only seven loaves of bread and a few fishes. Despite the obvious inadequacy of the food to feed thousands of people, Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread, and handed them to His disciples to share among the multitude. His first response to the scarcity of resources was to give thanks. Jesus’ heart of gratitude opened the windows of heaven for multiplication, and suddenly, the food that was too little to feed the multitude multiplied so much that everyone was filled, and they were left with seven baskets of leftovers.
Beloved, are you facing any difficult situation? Are you in dire need of resources, help, or a change in the circumstances surrounding your life? Do not despair or complain; rather, give God thanks. Despair or complaints will not multiply the little you have; however, thanksgiving will give you access to the miraculous. I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see His grace at work in every facet of your life and help you to cultivate a heart of genuine gratitude, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Points Open Heavens 18 June 2026 Thursday – Always Thank God

3. Father, I thank You for the grace that keeps me alive and for the mercy that withholds the judgment I deserve. Thank You for making all things work together for my good, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, in the midst of my challenges, teach me to give thanks. Let my gratitude open the windows of heaven and release supernatural multiplication over every area of my life, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, like Jesus who gave thanks before the multiplication, help me to give thanks even when I cannot see the solution. Let my thanksgiving precede my miracle, in Jesus’ name.
