Open Heaven 17 May 2026 TOPIC – Jubilee
MEMORISE: That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. – Deuteronomy 30:3 (KJV)
READ: Leviticus 25:25-28 (KJV)
25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 21-24
Open Heaven 17 May 2026 MESSAGE
Jubilee means emancipation, deliverance, or restoration. In Leviticus 25:8-10, God commanded the children of Israel to observe Jubilee every 50 years. When the Year of Jubilee arrives, anyone who is bound as a slave is to be set free. Even if a fellow became bound through his or her fault or error, he or she will be set free. Furthermore, anyone who was in debt would be forgiven of the debt in the Year of Jubilee.

We are talking about Jubilee today because God wants to set His people free from satanic bondages. He wants His people to walk in liberty in every aspect of their lives. Liberty is freedom from every form of bondage. Anyone who holds someone bound when God has declared jubilee will be fighting against God, and I am yet to see someone who fights against God and wins.
Unlike in Israel, where Jubilee was observed every 50 years in Old Testament times, if you have Jesus, you can experience Jubilee every day. Jesus came to save, deliver and restore us to God, and anyone who comes to Him will experience Jubilee to the fullest. In Christ, God has proclaimed Jubilee for you and your household, and every power of darkness that wants to keep you and anything that concerns you in bondage will be consumed by the Consuming Fire, in Jesus’ name. When God makes you free, you become free indeed (John 8:36). Being free indeed’ means that you are delivered from the effects of bondage. It means you have been made new, as if you were never in any bondage before. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reveals that once you are in Christ, you are a new creature. Your old record of slavery under sin and satan is wiped off, and everything becomes new.
Jubilee, however, doesn’t only mean freedom from slavery. It also means restoration of what has been forcefully or rightfully taken. In today’s Bible reading, God said that if a fellow becomes poor and sells his or her possessions, and he or she is unable to recover them, the fellow is free to return to his or her possessions in the Year of Jubilee because Jubilee is also the time of restoration. I proclaim in the name above all names that everything that has been taken from you or that you have given away ignorantly will be restored to you. You will experience and enjoy divine restoration in all areas you need it, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 17 May 2026 KEY POINT
Anyone who is in Christ can experience Jubilee every day.
Open Heaven 17 May 2026 HYMN 6 – Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
1 Conquerors and overcomes now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve
victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er
prevail.
Chorus:
Conquerors are we,
through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory,
through the blood of Jesus,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward
press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For Salvation and for blood bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be given,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from
heav’n,
Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall
wear.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
