OPEN HEAVEN 16 APRIL 2026 READ: 2 KINGS 2:19-22
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

OPEN HEAVEN 16 APRIL 2026 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 KINGS 19-20

OPEN HEAVEN 16 APRIL 2026 MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading, the men of Jericho approached Elisha to tell him about the problems in their city. The city had problems because it had been placed under a curse by Joshua (Joshua 6:26), who had long been dead. After his death, the curse continued in full force until Elisha arrived on the scene and dealt with it from its roots. Regardless of how powerful a curse is, God has the power to reverse it and change it into blessings.

In Genesis 49:5-7, Jacob was on his deathbed when he cursed Simeon and Levi. He said that they would be scattered in Israel. However, in Numbers 3:11-13, the Almighty God said to Moses, “I have decided in my sovereignty to make Levi my firstborn.” In His sovereignty, God reversed Jacob’s curse on Levi and turned it into honour.

When a fellow is cursed, he or she often begins to experience hardship, suffering, pain, sickness, poverty, etc. The devil operates freely in the life of anyone who is under a curse. This is why, if you notice that a curse is at work in your life or family, don’t keep quiet about it. Rather, cry unto the Lord and trust in His power to deliver you completely.

He longs to deliver you from anything that might have kept you from operating in the fullness of His plans and purposes for your life. Jesus Christ has delivered you from the curse of the law, as you see in today’s memory verse. He can overrule any curse that might have been placed on you by anyone and reverse generational curses, turning them into generational blessings.

In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, the Bible says that Jabez was an honourable man. However, because of his mother’s negative pronouncement over him, he was labelled as someone who causes sorrow. Her words were a limitation over his life, and this must have eventually driven him to cry to the Lord, saying, “Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!” God granted him his request and reversed the curse that was on him.

Beloved, if you are under any generational or parental curse like Jabez, I want you to cry to God to deliver you today. He is the only One who can reverse the irreversible. Run to Him today, and you will experience total deliverance.

OPEN HEAVEN 16 APRIL 2026 KEY POINT:
God can remove any curse that might exist in your life and replace it with His abundant blessings.


OPEN HEAVEN 16 APRIL 2026 HYMN 13:

JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW

1 Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me he who died
heaven's gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in.

3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, "Let them come to me."

AI about to retire music producers – DJ Neptune

After listening, I told the guy to sign the artiste because what I heard was exceptional. Then my guy told me it was…”


Nigerian disc jockey and record producer Imohiosen Patrick, popularly known as DJ Neptune, has raised concerns over the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in music creation, warning that the technology could soon force music producers to retire.

Speaking during a recent conversation with media personality Nnamdi Nwabasili, also known as N6, the music star recounted a startling personal experience that showed the rapid advancement of AI tools in the industry.

According to DJ Neptune, he had been presented with a song for potential signing and was impressed by its production quality, describing it as “out of this world.”


However, his excitement turned to shock when he was informed that the track had been entirely generated using artificial intelligence.

“After listening, I told the guy to sign the artiste because what I heard was exceptional. Then my guy told me it was AI work. It shook me.”

His comments were in response to concerns expressed by N6 on the social media platform X, where the media personality warned of an impending disruption within the music ecosystem.

“AI is quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering industry. I have seen scary things tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem,” N6 wrote.

AI
The rapid evolution of AI-powered tools has significantly altered music production globally.

From beat-making and sound engineering to vocal replication and mastering, these technologies are increasingly accessible to both emerging and established artistes, lowering the barriers to entry in a traditionally skill-intensive field.

In recognition of these changes, the Recording Academy, organisers of the prestigious Grammy Awards, recently updated its eligibility criteria to accommodate AI-assisted works.

Under the revised rules, songs created with the aid of artificial intelligence can be considered for awards, provided they include meaningful human authorship.

Despite this institutional acceptance, the growing reliance on AI continues to generate debate among stakeholders in the music industry.

Excessive dependence on automated systems risks undermining artistic authenticity, originality, and intellectual ownership, core elements that have historically defined musical expression.

begin the practice of reverent meditation on the
being of God. As coin from the book - Knowledge of the Holy by A. W. Tozer

There is no such time as this time in history. Human being becoming so sophisticated to the entext of getting the notion to compete with God. The most powerful tool being employed is the tool of communication.

https://choppinglife.com/artic....les/read/how-to-comm

True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon
time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as
the Quakers used to say, speak to the condition of his hearers; otherwise he
will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only
timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation.

This powerful quote is from the preface of The Knowledge of the Holy (1961) by A.W. Tozer, a renowned American evangelical pastor and author.
In this introduction, Tozer argues that modern Christianity has lost its sense of divine majesty, substituting it with an "ignoble" or trivialized concept of God. He challenges preachers and believers to move beyond superficial worship and "speak to the condition" of their era, bringing eternal truths to bear on the immediate crises of their time.
Key Aspects of Tozer’s Thought
Timeless but Timely: The message is eternal (theology), but it must be applied specifically to the current generation to avoid becoming an abstract, irrelevant concept.
Speaking to the Condition: Borrowing from Quaker tradition (often attributed to George Fox), this means addressing the real spiritual, emotional, and social needs of the listeners, not just repeating dogma.
Confronting Time with Eternity: True faith breaks through the temporal, everyday concerns of life, forcing a confrontation with the divine reality of heaven.
The Problem: Tozer identified that the church in the mid-20th century (and arguably today) was losing its sense of awe, resulting in a low view of God and a loss of personal inward worship.
