Bible Verse Open Heavens Daily Devotional   January 5, 2026

Acts 3:1-8

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

ACTS 3:1-8

Message Open Heavens Daily Devotional January 5, 2026

When God said, “let there be light” in today’s memory verse, it simply means that there was darkness before them, and at that moment , light was there to come. “Let there be light” yes signifies an end to sorrow and the beginning of joy. In some 30:5,  the Bible says that sorrow may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Sorrow changes to joy when light comes. Likewise confusion gives way to clarity at the entrance of light.

If you are driving on a dark highway and suddenly, your car headlamps malfunction, you might find yourself in total darkness. In such cases, it is wise to quickly look for a safe space to park the vehicle because it is not safe to drive in total darkness.

This is why darkness is associated with stagnation; there is usually no movement in an environment that is totally dark. If whatever is wrong with the car is corrected, however, and the headlamps begin to work again, then you can continue your journey. Whenever there is light, there is usually progress. I pray that light will come into your life in this new year,and there will be an end to stagnation. This year, you will experience progress and joy, in Jesus’ name.

In today’s Bible reading, we read about a man who was born lame. Cover it for many years, he was carried to the same spot daily so he could beg for alms. He had been stagnant all his life; however, when the almighty God decided to visit him, not only did he start walking, he was jumping and praising God. Light shone on him because he had met Jesus through Peter and John, and he experienced a great turnaround. When the light of God comes into your life, you will move forward and upwards.

People normally sleep at night and that is why apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 5:7 that those who sleep do so in the night. There are usually no movements when people are asleep.

However, when the day breaks, light comes, and people awake from their sleep to go about their daily activities. Stagnancy gives way to progress when light comes. Beloved, I pray for you that the light of God will shine on every aspects of your life.

There shall be no stagnancy in your life, and throughout this year you will only move forward and upwards, in Jesus’ name.
