The Topic of Open Heavens for 14th September 2026 Is “Pride Comes Before a Fall II”
MEMORISE: Luke 14:11
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
READ: Ezekiel 28:12-19
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
I had a friend who was a brilliant judge. Though we were close, he had one weakness – pride. Many years ago, I was travelling to Abuja, and I saw him coming out of the plane I was going to board with two people standing to his left and right. I approached him to greet him warmly, but he just looked at me and said, “Who is this?” I replied,
“Hello, it’s me, Adeboye, your friend.” Then, one of the people standing by him whispered to me, “He has lost his memory.” I was told that he couldn’t remember who he was or even recognise any of his children. Everything was gone just like that.
Anyone who allows pride into his or her heart will suffer the same fate as the devil. Today’s Bible reading tells us that he was full of wisdom, perfect in beauty, and in his ways until iniquity was found in him. That iniquity was revealed in verse 17: his heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and he corrupted his wisdom because of his brightness.
Pride was found in him, and, as expected, it led to his downfall.
God desires to share His wisdom and brilliance with men, but many times, people don’t last in the lofty positions He places them in because of pride.
Isaiah 14:12-19 tells us how Lucifer became proud: he wanted to exalt himself above God. In those few verses, the word ‘ is repeated many times. This is one way to tell if you are becoming proud or not.
When life becomes all about you, your achievements, the things you can do, how you are better than others, and why you must be honoured and exalted, then pride has already crept into your heart. If that is the case, you must repent immediately because pride has only one agenda in people’s lives: to bring them down (Proverbs 16:18).
Beloved, you must recognise that there is a God who can lift you up and also bring you down. You must also recognise that it is not by strength that any man prevails. Lamentations 3:22 says that it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed. It is because of His mercy that you and are still here.
If you are humble, God will give you grace. If you are proud, He will resist you (James 4:6). The choice is yours. Choose wisely!
ACTION POINT
Choose humility and shun pride.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Hosea 1-4
HYMN 34: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION
