Open Heaven 9 October 2026: Dealing With Mountains
OPEN HEAVEN 8 October 2026 MEMORISE: Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Zechariah 4:7
OPEN HEAVEN 9 October 2026 READ: Job 9:1-6
1 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

Several years ago, a highly-placed woman in society walked into my office one morning and claimed that God had told her I was her husband.
I responded in shock, “How can God tell you that I’m your husband when I’m happily married and you are also married?”
She kept insisting that I was her husband, and when I realised she would not leave me alone, I involved the police, and she was instructed to stop coming to Redemption City.
However, she wasn’t deterred. At one point, she threatened my wife that if she didn’t allow her to marry me, she would kill her.
One time, I travelled to London to prepare our Sunday School manual, and I didn’t tell anyone about my trip because I wanted to work quietly.
Surprisingly, as soon as I got to the house I was to stay at, the phone rang.
When I picked up the phone, that same woman was on the line. She said, “Welcome. I have been waiting for you. I am at the next bus stop, and I will be with you in a few minutes.”
At that point, I threatened her that I would call the police, and they would be waiting for her if she came.
After dropping the phone, I turned to God and said, “Father, You have to help me.” He replied, “As long as you allow the mountain to stay, it will.”
At that point, I realised that I had been tolerating the devil like Paul did until he got tired and commanded an evil spirit to leave a girl in Acts 16:16-18.
So, I said a simple prayer to God about the matter, and He saw to it that she never bothered me again.
I pray that the Almighty God will deal with those who will not let you rest, in Jesus’ name.
Beloved, God can deal with any mountains in your path in different ways.
He can give you the strength to climb and walk over them, or turn them into plains like He did for Zerubbabel in today’s memory verse.
Regardless of the method He decides to use, you must understand that as long as you are comfortable with a mountain in your life, it will stay put.
However, the moment you rise in prayer to confront it, God will show up and reveal how to address the mountain to you.
May God give you the grace to overcome any mountain in your path, in Jesus’ name.
