Why I created this blog

Saturday 30 March 2013. I found a need and decided to meet it, basically.

The Open Heavens daily devotional is the creation of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), probably the largest and fastest growing Pentecostal assembly in Africa, with branches all over the world.

Apart from daily use by many, every branch of the RCCG all over the world is expected to use the devotional every Sunday to teach church workers as part of Workers’ Anointing Service, which is held before the Sunday service to prepare the Workers and Ministers for their day’s duties in church. It turned out that the Media department in my branch of the RCCG decided to start projecting the Open Heavens devotional during our Workers’ Anointing Service for the benefit of Workers who do not have a copy of the devotional. That meant they needed a soft copy. I confidently asked them to download it from the RCCG website rather than type it out. To my shock and disbelief, there was no soft copy of the current edition of Open Heavens devotional on the RCCG website! There was an e-copy, alright, just that it was not the current one needed. I browsed for e-Open Heavens but the best I got was from bloggers, who took the trouble of posting the devotional daily. What that meant was that Sunday’s devotional was posted on Sunday, but our Media department needed to have the soft copy before Sunday if they were to be prepared. I chose to make that available to them, and to as many others that may need it, through this blog. So, a day’s devotional is posted in advance of its actual date. That means bloggers who post on the date can also use it.
