Open Heavens Devotional, August 6, 2026: Not by Might

The August 6, 2026 edition of Open Heavens Daily Devotional is titled “Not by Might.” Drawing from Zechariah 4:6 and Ecclesiastes 9:11–12, it teaches that hard work, strength, education and skill alone do not guarantee success. The message explains that time, opportunity and God’s favour can shape a person’s outcome. It recalls a personal prayer for spiritual empowerment while serving God, stressing the need for divine anointing to excel. Believers are encouraged to ask God for the power, wisdom and grace needed to fulfil their purpose. The prayer point asks God to visit and empower the reader to excel.
