RCCG Open Heaven 23 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – MORE THAN A CONQUEROR
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 (KJV)
Read: Romans 8:28-37 (KJV)
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.
RCCG Open Heaven 23 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
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 50: Conquerors and Overcomers Now Are We
Verse 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.
Chorus:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood of Jesus,
Thro’ the Lamb who once was slain,
We shall overcome the foe;
Conquerors are we, and more than conquerors now.
Verse 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.
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Unto Him that overcometh shall be given
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;
And o’er all the hosts of sin, o’er death and hell,
He that overcometh all things, shall prevail.
(Chorus)
Verse 4:
We are more than conquerors thro’ Him who loved us so,
The Christ who died and rose again for sin below;
We are more than conquerors, yes, o’er the pow’r of sin,
For the Captain of our salvation leads the way.
(Chorus)
