MEMORISE: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
READ: Ephesians 6:10-17 Open Heavens 5 May 2026
10 I Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 5 May 2026 Tuesday Daily Devotional
Yesterday, I started sharing some secrets to longevity and how believers can stay the course on the path that God has set before them. Today, I will share another secret to longevity: knowing when to fight.
When you are confronted by the devil, you shouldn’t run or hide; rather, you must stand and fight. The devil is not a gentle spirit; he tries to cheat his victims out of their rights, steal from them, kill them, and destroy them (John 10:10). Therefore, every time he raises his ugly head, you must resist him immediately and put him in his place with the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). Many people think that they can cohabit with the devil and enter into agreements with him. For instance, they might have a family tradition of making certain sacrifices to deities for protection, and they think that by keeping the traditions alive, the devil will leave them alone.
However, this never works because the devil is a great deceiver; he is a big liar, and he is the father of lies (John 8:44). He is not someone to make deals with, which is why today’s memory verse says that you should resist him so that he will flee from you. You should not partner with him or shake hands with him.
Today’s Bible reading says that believers wrestle against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. It also says that believers must put on the whole armor of God, but you will notice that there is no piece of armor to protect our backs. This means that the moment a believer turns his or her back on the devil, he will attack the believer. Therefore, you should never turn your back to run away from him.
For instance, if you perceive that the devil is trying to attack your marriage, simply calling a family meeting will not suffice because the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 that the weapons we have been given for warfare are not physical. Rather, you must send the devil packing out of your home by going against him with the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). Likewise, if you observe that some strange things are happening in the ministry that God has placed in your hands or that the devil is trying to attack your job or business, get up and fight! Never turn your back on the devil; he does not play fair.
Key Point – Open Heavens 5 May 2026
Your response to the devil should never be to run and hide; rather, you must stand and fight.
Open Heavens 5 May 2026 Tuesday Hymn
Hymn 12: Onward Christian Soldiers
1. Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See his banners go!
[Chorus]
Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory.
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the Saints have trod.
We are not divided;
All one body we:
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
4. Onward, then, ye people;
Join our happy throng.
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ, the King.
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Prayer Points for Open Heavens 5 May 2026 – Secrets To Longevity II
1. Father, I thank You for Your word that teaches me to resist the devil and he will flee. Thank You for the armor of God that equips me to stand against every wile of the enemy, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have turned my back on the devil, run away from spiritual battles, or tried to make deals with the enemy instead of resisting him, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, I put on the whole armor of God today. Gird my loins with truth, put on the breastplate of righteousness, shod my feet with the gospel of peace, take up the shield of faith, wear the helmet of salvation, and wield the sword of the Spirit, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, when the devil attacks my marriage, my family, my ministry, my business, or my health, give me the courage to stand and fight. Let me not retreat or compromise, but face the enemy with Your word, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I resist every demonic force that has raised its head against me. By the power in the blood of Jesus and the word of my testimony, I command every satanic attack to be neutralized, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, deliver me from the deceit of trying to cohabit with the devil or make family traditions of sacrifices. Let me have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, I receive the grace to never turn my back on the enemy. Help me to face every spiritual battle with boldness, knowing that the One who is in me is greater than he who is in the world, in Jesus’ name.
8. Lord, tear down every stronghold of the enemy in my life—every addiction, every fear, every curse, and every cycle of failure. Let the weapons of my warfare be mighty through God for their destruction, in Jesus’ name.
9. Father, I pray for every believer who is afraid to confront the devil. Release a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind upon them. Let them rise up and fight with the sword of the Spirit, in Jesus’ name.
10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific spiritual battles you are facing—in your home, workplace, mind, or body—and declare your determination to fight and win).
11. Thank You, Father, for the victory that is already mine in Christ. I will not run; I will stand, fight, and overcome, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
