MEMORISE
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
BIBLE READING
Luke 13:10-16
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Open Heaven 18 April 2026 Devotional MESSAGE:
Whenever God wants to reverse the irreversible, He usually follows a process, which typically starts with a divine appointment. What this means is that He will divinely arrange for people to meet one another.
There was once a 50-year-old man who had no wife simply because he couldn’t bring himself to ask a woman, “Will you marry me?” The enemy bound him so tightly that he couldn’t open his mouth to talk to any lady he was attracted to, even though he was highly educated. He knew he had a problem, but he didn’t know how to be free. Fortunately for him, God instructed us to hold a programme in his town. During the programme, he gave his life to Jesus Christ. Not only did Jesus save his soul, but He destroyed the yoke in his life, and six months later, he got married. Nine months after he got married, his wife gave birth to a set of twins. Two years later, she gave birth to another set of twins. The man’s story is proof that no bondage is too strong for God to break. I pray for you today that any yoke that might be troubling you will be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus went to the synagogue as was His custom. However, on this particular day, He met a woman who had been bound by the devil for 18 years. She was bent over in such a way that she couldn’t stand upright. For 18 long years, she was limited in every aspect of her life. Despite the terrible bondage the woman was in, she met with Jesus at the synagogue and got her freedom. The yoke of bondage that had kept her captive for so long was broken, and she was free to lift her head and hands to praise the Lord.
Isaiah 10:27 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Therefore, I decree in the name that is above every other name, that whatsoever might be keeping you from lifting your head and hands to praise God is destroyed today. The Almighty God will cause you to have a divine encounter that will deliver you completely from anything that might have kept you bound, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please let me have an encounter with you, that would break any from of bondage that might exist in my life, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Kings 1-3
HYMN: Pass me not, O gentle savior
1. Pass me not, O gentle savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.
Refrain: Saviour, Saviour
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.
2. Let me at thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief.
3.Trusting only in the Thy merit
would i seek thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by thy grace.
4.Thou, the spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee
Whom in Heav’n but Thee?
