Open Heaven 15 May 2026 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye

TOPIC: Mind Your Footprints (3) [15 Friday, May 2026] 

MEMORISE: And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. – Hebrews 12:13 (KJV) 

  READ: Matthew 5:14-15 (KJV) 

 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 

  BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 29-31 

  MESSAGE

Today, technology is advancing at an incredibly rapid rate. Technological innovations spring up every day, and people are scrambling to keep up. While it is essential for us as Christians to be at the cutting edge of what God is doing in our various industries and fields, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us as we navigate this digital age is much more crucial. Beloved, no matter how fascinating a technological innovation might be, you must always remember that you are first a child of God and an ambassador of God’s kingdom. Sadly, some Christians have lost their way in today’s digital age. They have completely forgotten their identity, so they follow all kinds of trends, regardless of whether they align with God’s values or not. 

For instance, many Christians post and share all sorts of content on social media just to get likes, shares, and followers. Such Christians leave unrighteous digital footprints and misrepresent the Lord. They allow unbelievers to blaspheme God’s name because of their conduct and actions. If you are a Christian, you are the light of the world, and you are a city set on a hill which cannot be hidden. This means that whatever you do will be seen by many people. 

Therefore, your digital footprint, including everything you post on the internet, will reach the devices of millions of people across the world. Social media, for example, is one technological innovation that can be used to shine your light to many people around the world. With social media, you have an easy opportunity to be a global evangelist for God’s kingdom; therefore, you must maximize it and not misuse the opportunity it presents by posting ungodly content on your social media platforms.

 Do not put your candle under a bushel of worldliness and carelessness. Despite the speed of technological advancement today, you have been called to represent Christ wherever you are and with everything you have. Another advantage of maximizing your digital footprint to shine the light of God’s kingdom is that digital footprints outlive people.

 For example, the late Bishop Benson Idahosa has been dead for many years, but we can still find many of his teachings online. Beloved, what will your digital footprint look like when you have finished your assignment here on earth? I pray that you will always glorify God with your use of technology and in everything you do, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT: Let your digital footprint reflect the light of God.
