Open Heavens 12 January 2026 Monday – What Is Man? II
MEMORISE: As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1 Peter 2:2
READ: Galatians 4:1-5 Open Heavens 11 January 2026
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 12 January 2026 Monday Daily Devotional
Yesterday, I explained that God’s original design for mankind was for us to have dominion on the earth and everything in it; however, man lost that dominion when sin crept in, but Jesus Christ came to restore us to our original state. I also explained that once you become born again, you become greater than everything around you because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Unfortunately, many Christians are still living under the bondage of the devil. They have dominion as God intended originally but fail to exercise this dominion.
Beloved, you cannot exercise dominion as a baby Christian. Galatians 4:1 says:
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
To really take your place as a child of God, you must grow in the Spirit by praying and studying the word of God diligently and regularly. Many Christians brag that they have been born again for many years; however, spiritually, they are still babies because they haven’t grown as they ought to. Some Christians should have grown spiritually to the point of being able to raise the dead by virtue of God’s anointing upon their lives, yet they do not have the courage to lay hands on someone suffering from a headache.
As a child of God, you should desire God’s word so much because it is the food you need to grow spiritually.1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” Jesus also said in Matthew 4:4 that man should not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.
Beloved, if you want to walk in the dominion that God intends for you to operate in, you should live by God’s word just as you survive and function physically by eating food.
Like Jeremiah, who said that he ate God’s word (Jeremiah 15:16), you must also consume God’s word even more than you consume physical food. You must also pray regularly. In fact, when you study the word of God regularly, it will push you to pray because as you study, you will find yourself longing to speak to the One whose word you are studying. Prioritize spending quality time with God daily by praying and studying His word, and you will indeed walk in dominion in every aspect of your life.
Key Point – Open Heavens 12 January 2026
To operate in your God- given dominion, you must pray and study the word of God diligently and regularly.
