Open Heaven 10 November 2026: He Needs Your Resources
OPEN HEAVEN 10 November 2026 MEMORISE: ABring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:10
OPEN HEAVEN 10 November 2026 READ: 1 Kings 17:8-16
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

Jesus gave Himself for us; hence, we should be willing to give our resources to Him. If you are a child of God, you must make up your mind to serve God with everything He has given to you. If He is really the source of everything you own, then you should not hold anything back from Him. Apostle Paul is a good example of someone who understood that his life and all he had were no longer his, but Christ’s. He expressed this clearly in Galatians 2:20:
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
As a child of God, the life you live is no longer yours. Jesus ransomed you with His blood, so nothing should be too much for you to release to Him. In today’s Bible reading, a grievous famine struck the land, and God sent Elijah to a widow in Zarephath to sustain him during the famine. One would have thought that the widow Elijah was going to meet would be a rich woman, but the opposite was the case. She was so poor that all she had was just a meal for herself and her son, yet God asked her to let it go.
Despite her limited resources, when Elijah asked her to make him a meal, she was willing to do so. Her willingness and readiness to surrender all made God multiply what she had. God doesn’t just use people without rewarding them. When you give Him your resources, He will bless you beyond your wildest imagination. There is nothing you give to the Lord that will remain the way it is; it will be multiplied, and others will be blessed through you. My wife and I are a living testimony of this truth.
Beloved, when God asks for your resources, count it a privilege because He owns everything (Psalm 24:1). Haggai 2:8 says that the silver and gold are His. Psalm 50:10-12 also says that the whole world belongs to Him. If the Almighty God, who owns the world and its fullness, asks you to use your resources for His work, He is setting you up for great blessings. He owes no man, and those who willingly use their resources for Him become partakers of His endless resources.
