OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: WEDNESDAY 3RD JANUARY 2018
THEME: THE OVERCOMERS!
MEMORISE:
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on The Name of The LORD shall be
delivered: for in mount Zion and in
Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD
hath said, and in the remnant whom the
LORD shall call.” Joel 2:32
READ: Revelation 21:1-7
1. And I saw A New Heaven and A New
Earth: for The First Heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no
more sea.
2. And I John saw The Holy City, New
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband.
3. And I heard A Great Voice out of Heaven
saying, “Behold, The Tabernacle of God is
with men, and He will dwell with them, and
they shall be His People, and God Himself
shall be with them, and be Their God.
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former
things are passed away.
5. And He that sat upon The Throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new. And He said
unto me, “Write: for These Words are True
and Faithful.
6. And He said unto me, “It is done. I Am
Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The
End. I will give unto him that is athirst of The
Fountain of The Water of Life freely.
7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be His God, and he shall be My Son.
MESSAGE
A. Since the advent of sin into this world, life
has become a battle for mankind.
1. In the battle of life, one is either an
overcomer or a victim.
2. My prayer for you is that you will live the
rest of your life as an overcomer in Jesus’
Name. Amen!
3. 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:”
4. However, The Truth in this verse of
Scripture throws up this question: “How
then shall they call on Him whom they have
not believed?” Romans 10:14
5. 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.
6. When you believe this and you confess so
with your mouth, you become “born of
God”.
7. Here is what the Bible, in 1 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, even our faith. Who
is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
B. Living the reality of being an overcomer in
this world.
1. Means that you daily experience the
victory that Christ has obtained for you over
the enemies of your body, soul and spirit.
2. It means living your life everyday as
having been delivered from the power of
sin, and when you overcome sin, you have
invariably overcome death, which is at the
pinnacle of the battle of life.
3. James 1:15 says, “Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
C. Are you under any siege in the battle of
life?
1. Has life dealt you so many blows that you
do not have the will to go on?
2. Don’t give in to depression, and don’t
contemplate suicide.
3. This is a great time for you to accept Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Saviour, through
genuine repentance.
4. In prayer, call upon the Name of Him That
is able to save, and you will overcome!
5. Are you saved but still living under the
shackles of this world?
6. 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 convening any
area of life where you have been
experiencing defeat.

Revelation 21:18-3:6
