This study examines the functional textual elements of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, drawing from the textual meta function of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) (Halliday, 1985) as well as from the Theory of Text Linguistics (Beaugrande & Dressler, 1981). The aim is to observe how language is organised in certain devotional texts to generate meaning, coherence, and spiritual persuasion. The study is qualitative and focused on four devotional entries from May 18–22, 2026. They were selected for textual analysis of cohesive devices, thematic progression, lexical choices, textual organisation, coherence, and intertextual references, particularly biblical allusions. Findings reveal lexical cohesion, especially the repetition of key theological nouns such as “faith,” “word,” “blessing,” and “healing”. Verbal processes such as “speaks,” “commands,” and “heals” predominate. This makes divine acts seem strong and effective. Thematic progression is usually linear and consistent, ensuring reader comprehension and logical flow. Conjunctions and reference points enhance textual coherence and unity between clauses. Because references from both the Old and New Testaments are frequently used to establish authority and doctrinal validity, intertextuality is very common. The study also illustrates how scripture, explanation, and application are often organised in a systematic pattern that helps persuade and clarify. The study concludes that the language of Open Heavens is functionally organised to produce religious meaning and influence spiritual belief.

Keywords: Cohesion, intertextuality, devotional discourse, lexical choices, thematic progression.
