Message:
Since the advert of sin into this world, life has become a battle for mankind. the battle of life, one is either an overcomer or a victim. today's open heaven. My prayer for you is that you will live the rest of your life as an overcomer in Jesus’ Name. Today’s memory verse expressly reveals to us the secret of overcoming in the battle of life:

“… Whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:”

However, the truth in this verse of scripture throws up this question:

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?”
Romans 10:14a

Therefore, before you can overcome by calling on the Name of the Lord, you need to first believe in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and in His finished work on the cross of Calvary. open heaven devotional 2018. When you believe this and you confess so with your month, you become “born of God”. Here is what the Bible, in 1st John 5:4-5, says about those who are born of God:

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, ever our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Living the reality of being an overcomer in this world means that you daily experience the victory that Christ has obtained for you over the enemies of your body, soul and spirit. It means living your life everyday as having been delivered from the power of sin.  It is in Jesus Christ alone that we can overcome the power of sin, and when your overcome sin, you have invariably overcome death, which is at the pinnacle of the battle of life. James 1:15 says,

“Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”

Are you under any siege in the battle of life? Has life dealt you so many blows that you do not have the will to go on? Don’t give in to depression, and don’t contemplate suicide. Open Heaven for today. This is a great time for you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, through genuine repentance. In prayer, call upon the Name of Him that is able to save, and you will overcome! Are you saved but still living under the shackles of this world? It is time to realise who you are, shake yourself up from the dust of pity and begin to enforce the victory that Christ has won for you!

Action Point
Call on the Name of the Lord concerning any area of life where you have been experiencing defeat.
