OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 29 JULY 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Revelation 20:15
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

This verse is the final judgment scene of all humanity.

BIBLE READING: Revelation 21:8, 26-27
These verses list the categories of people who will not enter the New Jerusalem. Their portion is the lake of fire.

The Shocking Statement: “I Am Preparing to Go to Hell”
“I was shocked when I heard someone say several years ago that he was preparing to go to hell. He even said that he wanted to take my Father in the Lord, me, and one other person along with him. The most shocking thing was that the individual who made that statement was a senior minister in the church at that time.”

The Speaker The Statement The Shock
A senior minister in the church “I am preparing to go to hell” A church leader, not an unbeliever
Had knowledge of God Wanted to take others with him He knew the truth but chose rebellion
Had seen God’s mighty works Still chose hell His heart was hardened despite his position
A senior minister. A leader in the church. Someone who should have been preparing for heaven, preparing for the New Jerusalem, preparing to see Jesus. Instead, he was preparing for hell. This is a sobering warning: your position in the church does not guarantee your position in heaven.

The Categories of Those Destined for the Lake of Fire
Daddy Adeboye breaks down the list from Revelation 21:8 and 21:27:

Category Description Modern Examples
The fearful Too afraid to bear God’s name; denies Christ before men Ashamed to witness, silent about faith
The unbelieving Refuse to believe, claim atheism, reject God’s word Intellectual pride, hardened hearts
The abominable Those who do detestable, disgusting things Gross immorality, perversion
Murderers Those who take innocent life Abortion, violence, hatred (1 John 3:15)
Whoremongers (sexually immoral) Fornication, adultery, homosexuality, all sex outside God’s design Premarital sex, extramarital affairs, pornography
Sorcerers Witches, wizards, cultists, those who practice dark arts Occult involvement, witchcraft, divination
Idolaters Those who worship anything other than God Money, fame, celebrities, possessions, self
Liars Those who speak falsehood, deceive, manipulate Dishonesty, half-truths, fraud, gossip, slander
“These people probably know God and have seen His mighty works at different times; however, they still choose to live a lifestyle that opposes His ways.”

Knowing about God is not enough. Seeing miracles is not enough. Being a church member is not enough. If your lifestyle opposes God’s ways, you are preparing for the lake of fire.

The Fearful: Those Who Deny Christ Before Men
“There are people who are too afraid to bear God’s name; therefore, they deny Him before men. In Matthew 10:33, Jesus said that He will also deny such people in the presence of His Father.”

Matthew 10:33 – “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”

Denying Christ Looks Like The Consequence
Staying silent when you should speak Jesus denies you before the Father
Hiding your faith to avoid mockery You are preparing for hell
Compromising to fit in You lose your eternal reward
The Unbelieving: Those Who Refuse to Believe
“There are also those who refer to themselves as atheists. They claim not to believe that God exists, whereas it is untrue because they know deep within themselves that He exists. He calls out to them every now and then, and they can feel Him reaching out to them. However, they choose not to believe in Him. They don’t even want to hear God’s word or study it because they just don’t want to believe.”

The Atheist’s Claim The Reality
“God does not exist” They know deep down that He does
“I have no evidence” They suppress the evidence (Romans 1:18-20)
“I don’t want to hear” They refuse to listen because they do not want to believe
“He calls out to them every now and then, and they can feel Him reaching out to them.”

God does not leave Himself without witness. Every atheist has felt His call. Every unbeliever has sensed His presence. But they choose to suppress the truth. They choose unbelief. And unbelief leads to the lake of fire.

The Sexually Immoral: Those Who Defile God’s Design
“There are also those who do abominable things, those who murder, and those who are sexually immoral. All such people who have chosen such lifestyles will go to hell if they refuse to repent.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

“Regardless of how saintly they may appear, their final home is in the lake of fire.”

You can dress well, speak well,
