Open Heaven For Teens – 11th September 2025 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
Open Heaven For Teens – 11th September 2025 TOPIC: JACOB PRAYED
MEMORISE
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Genesis 32:28
SCRIPTURE READING
Genesis 32:22-32
In my understanding of the Scriptures, I know that it is not possible to overpower an angel, let alone wrestle with him and win; however, Jacob wrestled with an angel and emerged with a new name and a transformed identity. His midnight wrestling experience symbolises our struggles and the power of persistent prayer.
The story in today’s Bible reading shows that prayer is not always easy. Sometimes, we must wrestle with God in the depths of our souls to confront our doubts, fears, and insecurities. In fact, Jacob clung to this angel and refused to let go until he received a blessing. Likewise, you must persevere in prayer until God gives you an answer.
My dear child, when life throws challenges and uncertainties at you, your family, or your academics, do not be afraid to wrestle with God in prayer because, in the end, you will emerge stronger, wiser, and blessed beyond measure.
ACTION POINT
Keep wrestling with God in prayer until He blesses you.
