Today’s Open Heaven devotional invites us to pause and ask a piercing question: what has God already placed in our hands that we keep overlooking? Pastor E.A. Adeboye draws from the story of a widow whose breakthrough was hiding in plain sight, and the lesson cuts straight to the heart of anyone who has ever prayed for more while sitting on enough. If you have been feeling overlooked, under-resourced, or stuck in a cycle of lack, this message is a timely word for you.
Open Heaven for June 26, 2026
Topic: Seeing Eyes (1)
Devotional: Open Heaven (RCCG)

Bible reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7 (KJV)
Memory verse: The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. – Proverbs 20:12 (KJV)
Today’s Bible reading tells us about a widow who was about to lose her sons to slavery because her late husband left behind a huge debt. She was in a desperate situation, and in her desperation, she ran to Prophet Elisha and shared her plight with him. After telling the prophet about her troubles, he asked her what she had in her house, and she replied, “Nothing, except a pot of oil.” She thought that what she had was little, but she didn’t realize that it was all she needed to become financially free.
Sometimes, you don’t need more than what you already have in order to receive what God has in store for you. All that the widow in today’s Bible reading needed to have a financial breakthrough had been in her house all along, but she didn’t know it. It took Elisha’s instructions on what to do with what she had to help her experience the potential of the little that was in her possession. If God had opened her eyes to see what He could do with the little she had, she would have never been in distress. I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the solutions He has put around you, in Jesus’ name.
In today’s memory verse, the Bible says that the ears that hear and the eyes that see were made by the Lord. This means that a person can be surrounded by prosperity; however, if God doesn’t enable that person to see the opportunities, He has placed around him or her, such a person can die in poverty. Having eyes that see is more than just having physical eyes. When you have eyes that see, you will see opportunities where others see challenges and abundance where others see scarcity. When God opened Isaac’s eyes to see opportunities in the midst of famine, he became so wealthy that the Philistines began to envy him because he had become wealthier than them (Genesis 26:1 2-1 6).
Beloved, in order to thrive, you need to have eyes that see. You need to see beyond the ordinary to achieve extraordinary results. Over the next few days, I will share the importance of having seeing eyes and why you should ask the Lord for them. I pray that my Daddy will give you seeing eyes so you will see opportunities where others see obstacles and experience breakthroughs where others experience oppositions, in Jesus’ name.

- Almighty God, wherever debt, loss, or lack has become a chain around my destiny, break every link today by the power of Your provision.

Declarations
- I declare that my eyes are anointed to see beyond every surface-level obstacle to the divine opportunity God has prepared for me.
- I declare that nothing God has placed in my hand is too small, in His hands, my little becomes more than enough.
- I declare that I will not perish in the middle of God's provision; I have seeing eyes, and I recognize abundance where others see scarcity.
- I declare that my story does not end at the point of my greatest need, God is turning my desperation into a demonstration of His glory.
- I declare that the same God who multiplied oil for a widow is actively multiplying every resource I surrender to Him today.
Reflection
Take a quiet moment today and inventory what is actually in your house, your gifts, your network, your knowledge, even that idea you keep shelving. The widow almost missed her miracle because she measured what she had against the size of her problem instead of against the size of her God. Ask the Holy Spirit to spotlight one overlooked resource or opportunity in your life right now, then take one deliberate step of faith toward it. Breakthroughs rarely arrive from the outside; most of the time, God sends them through what you already hold.
