The Topic of Open Heavens for 9th September 2026 Is “Rapid and Extraordinary Promotions”
MEMORISE: 1 Samuel 2:8
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.
READ: Acts 6:5, Acts 8:5-8
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Yesterday, I stated that steady promotion is good, but extraordinary promotion is better. Today, I want to discuss rapid and extraordinary promotions.
Rapid and extraordinary promotions are great promotions that occur at an unusually high rate.
For example, David was in the fields when Samuel sent for him and anointed him to be Israel’s new king (1 Samuel 16:11-13). After that, it took over a decade before he became the king of Judah (2 Samuel 2:1-4).
Another seven and a half years after that, he became king over the whole nation of Israel (2 Samuel 5:1-5). At first, he became a potential king, but then he ascended to become the king of Judah and ultimately the king of Israel.
Elisha also experienced rapid and extraordinary promotions. He started as a farmer, but when God needed a successor for Elijah, heaven recruited him and gave him rapid speed (1 Kings 19:19-21). In 2 Kings 2:9-15, God promoted him, and he became one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament.
God used him to perform several mighty miracles, far more than his predecessor, with the last miracle occurring after his death (2 Kings 13:21). He was so great that in 2 Kings 2:19-22, he lifted a curse on Jericho, a city that had been under a curse since Joshua’s time (Joshua 6:26). In 2 Kings 6:24-30, things got so bad in Samaria that women began to eat their children, but just one word from Elisha turned the situation around for good and brought economic liberation to the entire nation (2 Kings 7:1-16).
Philip was another person in the Bible who experienced rapid and extraordinary promotions.
In a short while, he moved from being just a member of the congregation to becoming a deacon (Acts 6:5), and then he was promoted again to become an evangelist who brought great joy to a whole city (Acts 8:5-8).
His rapid promotion came as a result of the persecution of the church in Jerusalem, which caused many of the disciples to be scattered (Acts 8:3-4). This shows that sometimes, God will use what the enemy sends to destroy you as a means of promoting you.
I have observed that when God sees that a believer has taken his or her walk with Him seriously, He shifts them from the realm of steady promotion to rapid and extraordinary promotion. Such persons will begin to experience promotions at an unprecedented speed.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to experience rapid and extraordinary promotions in all areas of my life, in Jesus’ name.
