Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD 2026

TOPIC: MORE THAN A CONQUEROR

MEMORISE:

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14

BIBLE READING: ROMANS 8:28-37

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

MESSAGE:

Life is full of battles. From the moment you were born until you leave this world, you will experience different battles. Unfortunately, many people go through life fighting battles without any hope of victory. However, when a person comes to Christ, the fellow becomes a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17), and everything changes. Where such a person has been fighting and struggling to win before and didn't know his or her fate when it comes to the battles of life, in Christ, the fellow ceases to struggle and is assured of being victorious. In fact, such a person becomes more than victorious; he or she becomes more than a conqueror.

Romans 8:37 says that, as believers, we are more than Conquerors. A conqueror is someone who fights and defeats his or her enemies. While a conqueror has to fight to achieve victory, someone who is more than a conqueror enjoys victory without fighting any battles. Such a person sits comfortably to enjoy the victory achieved by a conqueror.

God sees you as more than a conqueror because you are a recipient of Jesus' victory. Jesus went to the cross, defeated the devil, claimed victory, and handed it over to you. In Matthew 28:18, He declared that all power in heaven and on earth had been given to Him. Then, He handed the power over to His disciples and every other believer through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

When the disciples received the Holy Spirit, they began to reign in life. They cast out demons and healed the sick effortlessly in the name of Jesus. Even when they faced challenges and persecution, the Bible says that those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word (Acts 8:1-4). For instance, Philip went to Samaria, and the whole city was won for Christ (Acts 8:5-8).

Beloved, being more than a conqueror doesn't mean that you won't face challenges; it simply means that whenever challenges arise, you should be prepared for promotions, because God will use all the enemy's plans to elevate you. The devil thought he had destroyed Jesus by arranging His crucifixion, but he didn't know that he was destroying himself. 1 Corinthians 2:8 tells us that had the princes of this world known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. I decree that the devil's plots against you will blow up in his face. You will triumph against all odds, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:

Being more than a conqueror means that you will always triumph over the enemy's plans.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MICAH 5-7

HYMN 6: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW WE ARE

1 Conquerors and Overcomers 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. 

Refrain:

Conquerors are we,

Thro’ the blood of Jesus

God will give us victory,

Thro’ 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 giv’n

Here to eat of hidden manna Sent from heav'n;

Over yonder he the victor's Palm shall bear,

And a robe of white, and Golden crown shall wear.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: FEAR NOT

MEMORISE

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. - (Isaiah 41:10)

BIBLE READING: JOHN 20:19-23 (KJV)

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

MESSAGE

Some theologians say that if you search the Scriptures carefully, you will find out that the phrase 'fear not' was mentioned in one form or another 365 times. Thus, if you are afraid of anything at all, God has a word for you for each day of the year: fear not. Romans 8:37 says that you are more than a conqueror through Christ, who loved you. The primary reason you should not be afraid is that God loves you. Child of God, do you know and believe that God loves you? Are you assured of His love? If you are, fear not!

After Jesus Christ rose from the dead and visited His disciples, He told them not to be afraid. When He visited them, they were sorely afraid because He had been crucified. Today's Bible reading tells us that they shut the doors where they were gathered because they were afraid. One of the beautiful things about God's visit is that when He's ready to visit you, no door can keep Him away, because He Himself is the door of the sheep (John 10:7). Whenever you are afraid, He will visit you to say, "Fear not." In John 14:1, Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." When you believe in the Almighty God, you will not have any cause to be afraid. Even when fear knocks on the door of your heart, God will visit you to reassure you of His love. I decree in the name above every other name that you are free from any torment of fear you may be under.

(1 John 4:18) says that fear has torment. Wherever fear exists, oppression, suppression, and limitation will also prevail. God does not want you to live under the torment of fear. Instead, He wants you to live by faith because where there is faith, fear disappears. When you are confident that God is your helper, you will not be afraid of what any man can do to you (Hebrews 13:6). When you are assured of God's love and care, you will not be afraid when you face a storm because you know that God will never leave you to perish.

Beloved, fear not. God loves you, and He will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). He cares about you, so cast your cares and fears upon Him and put your mind at rest. 

KEY POINT

God loves you; fear not! 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR MICAH 1 - 4

HYMN 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY 

1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way, 

When sorrows, like sea billows roll; 

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know, 

It is well, it is well with my soul 

CHORUS

It is well, ... With my soul, ... 

It is well, it is well with my soul. 

2. Though Satan should buffet, 

Though trials should come, 

Let this blest assurance control, 

That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate, 

And hath shed His own blood for my soul. 

3. My sin o, the bliss of this 

glorious thought, 

My sin not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more: 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul. 

4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live! 

If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,

Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. 

5. But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, 

The sky, not the grave, is our goal: 

Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord! 

Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: REMAIN UNDER HIS COVERING II

MEMORISE

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: - (2 Corinthians 2:15)

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 5:20-27 (KJV)

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

MESSAGE

Years ago, when I was a younger Christian, many people would come to me and say, d say, "Young man, we see the way you are on fire for the Lord. Make sure you don't backslide." Whenever I heard that, I would smile because I had made up my mind that I would not be a fool and return to the fear, sickness, and bondage Jesus took away from my life when I became born again. I thank God for His grace, which has kept me all these years. Remembering where God brought me from has been one of the ways I have stayed on course. When you constantly remember what Jesus saved you from, no one will need to preach to you to remain in Christ. I pray that you will not yield to satan's temptations to depart from the cover of the shadow of God's wings, in Jesus' name.

Anyone who departs from the cover that the shadow of God's wings provides is open to all kinds of sicknesses and diseases. Today's Bible reading tells us the story of Gehazi, who decided to leave the shelter of God's wings. Within a day, the fellow who could have ended up as the next prophet, because he was Elisha's servant, ended up becoming a leper. Sometimes, it only takes a brief moment for people who decide to leave God's covering to forfeit all the blessings they have enjoyed under His cover. I pray that your story will not move from glory to shame, in Jesus' name.

People who wander from the shadow of God's wings expose themselves to death. Proverbs 21:16 says, "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead." When people are in the congregation of the dead, their lives stink. People who decide to backslide have accepted an open invitation to a stinking life. They have decided to invite rottenness and disfavour into their lives. No matter how beautiful a house may be, guests will avoid it once a rat has died inside and begun to decay. They might not want to wine or dine with the owner of the house until the pungent smell has been taken care of. In (2 Corinthians 2:14-15), however, Apostle Paul describes the believer as a sweet savour of Christ.

Beloved, when you abide under the shadow of the Almighty, you will continue to increase in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). 

KEY POINT

Wandering from God's covering is extending an invitation to shame, sickness, and death. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR TO JONAH 1 - 4

HYMN 31 - YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1. Yield not to temptation, 

For yielding is sin; Each victory will help you Some other to win; Fight manfully onward, Dark passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. 

CHORUS 

Ask the Saviour to help you 

Comfort, strengthen, and keep 

you; He is willing to aid you, 

He will carry you through. 

2. Shun evil companions, 

Bad language disdain; God's name hold in reverence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. 

3. To him that overcometh God giveth a crown; through faith we will conquer, though often cast down; he who is our saviour our strength will renew; look ever to Jesus, he'll carry you through.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: REMAIN UNDER HIS COVERING 1

MEMORISE

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. - (Genesis 3:7)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 91:1-16 (KJV)

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

MESSAGE

Today's Bible reading is a chapter that can be referred to as a 'divine insurance policy'. It shows that if a person is under the protection of the Almighty God, then he or she is truly covered. When you consider all the beautiful things that a believer gets by staying under the shadow of God's wings, it becomes clear that it is foolishness not to surrender all to God. When the wings of the Almighty God cover a Christian, he or she will enjoy physical, spiritual, and material blessings. Furthermore, his or her past, present, and future will be covered by God. A Christian who backslides, however, has departed from the shadow of the Almighty and has more or less decided that he or she does not want to enjoy the benefits drawn from being under God's covering.

The moment people come out from under a covering, they become exposed. Likewise, the moment a believer departs from the covering of the Almighty, he or she has chosen to be naked. Genesis 3:1-24 tells us the story of Adam and Eve, who left the covering of the Almighty because they sinned. The first thing that happened to them was that they discovered they were naked. They lost the glory that had previously covered them and became ashamed. Secondly, they could no longer fellowship with God as they used to.

Beloved, if you are living under the covering of the Almighty God, your future is secure because Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). The opposite of glory is shame; hence, people who backslide or people who refuse to surrender to God are bound to experience shame. They become devoid of power and strength, and their secret becomes easily accessible to the enemy. For example, the enemies had been watching Samson, and they knew that he was not an ordinary man. They knew that he possessed superhuman strength and wanted to discover the secret behind it. They also knew that he had a weakness for women, so they connived with Delilah to find out the secret of his strength so they could remove it, turn him into an ordinary man, and capture him. Eventually, they succeeded because Samson had left the covering of the Lord due to his immoral lifestyle (Judges 16:4-21).

Child of God, learn from Samson's mistakes; seek to be under the covering of the Almighty God at all times by leading a holy life. 

KEY POINT

Backsliders step out from the shadow of the Almighty, their place of true safety and rest.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR OBADIAH 1

HYMN 19 - ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labours of my hands, can fulfill thy law's demands could zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone, thou must save and thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee fir grace foul to the fountain fly wash me saviour or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

God bless you as you share.
