OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: THURSDAY 24TH DECEMBER 2020.
THEME: MORE THAN CONQUERORS.
MEMORISE:
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Romans 8:37
READ: 1 John 4:4
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
MESSAGE:
Someone once gave an analogy on what it means to be more than a conqueror’: When a boxer gets into the ring for a bout, he receives blows and jabs from the opponent; he bleeds and has a swollen face, but in the end if he knocks out his opponent, he is declared the winner. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. After receiving the belt, he hands if over to his wife. While he is conqueror, his wife is the one who is more than conqueror because without fighting at all, she got what the conqueror fought for.
Our memory verse says “We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” This means that, as Jesus’ bride, He has already given you victory without a fight; thus, you are more than a conqueror!
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Jesus, our bridegroom has overcome the world on our behalf already. Therefore, no matter the tribulation around, we will never be down; we will soa above it. He has also overcome poverty for your sake. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says:
“ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
As long as you are His bride, regardless of your present financial situation, you can’s die poor. Likewise, Christ has triumphed over sicknesses for you so no disease can stay in your body. Isaiah 53:5 tells us:
“ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Are you His bride? Are you submissive to Him? Do you do His will? Surrender all to Him today and you will become more than a conqueror.
KEY POINT:
As long as you are Christ’s bride, rest assured of continuous triumph.

HYMN 10: I AM A VICTOR.
Yes, I know I am a victor
For the Bible tells me so
God made me more than a conqueror
Much stronger than all my foes
CHORUS
Jesus loves me and I love Him
Together we rule the world
Christ with me I will overcome
By His Blood, His Name, His Word
Yes, I know I am a victor
Stronger than demons I am
To Satan I am a terror
I am free, o yes, I am
Yes, I know I am a victor
Stronger than lack, poverty
All my needs Jesus provides for
I have life abundantly
Yes, I know I am a victor
Barrenness no more indeed
Fruitful is the God I live for
All my dreams shall be fulfilled
Yes, I know I am a victor
By His strength I shall succeed
No more loss and no more failure
Glory to glory proceed
Yes, I know I am a victor
No more sorrow, no despair
Jesus Christ is my own Succour
Tomorrow is joy and cheer
Yes, I know I am a victor
Very soon I’ll reign with Him
His promise is my sure anchor
He’s coming to take me home
Jesus loves me and I love Him
We rule this world together
As He is so right now I am
Hear me shout Halleluyah
Jesus loves me Halleluyah
Hear me shout Halleluyah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
Glory be to God on high
Amen and Amen
