Open Doors + Challenges = NEW NORMAL..
Hello Kingdom Giants,
Hurray!!!
This is my first time writing to you in 2026.
I have missed you.
I trust the year has been awesome for you?
Hope you are engaging in the ongoing 21 Days Prayers & Fasting?
I want to begin by affirming what many of you already sense in your spirit: this is a year of OPEN DOORS as proclaimed by the Apostle over this Commission. God is setting before us opportunities that will stretch our capacity, expand our influence, and reposition us for greater impact.
For many of you, this season carries great expectations, new jobs, business deals, promotions, salary increases, fully funded trips, global exposure, and long-awaited career breakthroughs.
These expectations are valid. They are good. They are worth celebrating. Scripture reminds us in Mark 10:29–30 that no one makes sacrifices for the sake of the Kingdom without receiving returns both now and in eternity.
However, it is important that we approach this year with spiritual intelligence.
The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:9, “A great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” Notice the balance in that statement. The door is great. The opportunity is real. But opposition is present. This teaches us a vital principle: open doors and challenges often arrive together. The presence of resistance does not mean you missed God; more often than not, it confirms that you are exactly where you should be.
Jesus Himself prepared us for this reality when He said in John 16:33, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Challenges are scriptural. Pressure is expected. Opposition is normal. But defeat is never God’s plan for His children.
Here's what I want you to understand as we navigate this year: open doors and opposition are not contradictory; they are complementary. When God opens a door for you, it's because He sees your readiness and has destined you for impact in that place. But the enemy also sees that door. He recognizes the threat you pose to his kingdom, and he will resist your progress.
As you walk through the open doors of 2026, I want to challenge you to cultivate a victorious mindset, a mindset rooted in Christ's finished work, sustained by faith in God, strengthened by resilience, and marked by spiritual maturity.
A victorious mindset begins with revelation.
A victorious mindset is sustained by faith.
A victorious mindset is strengthened by resilience.
A victorious mindset is marked by spiritual maturity.
This year, God is opening doors for you that will position you for greater influence, greater impact, and greater fruitfulness. Don’t be surprised when challenges show up at the same address. They are not there to stop you; they are there to strengthen you. They are not there to defeat you; they are there to develop you.
So step boldly into every open door. Walk with faith, not fear. Move with confidence, not hesitation. And when opposition rises, don’t retreat, remind yourself of whose you are and what He has already accomplished.
You were made for this moment. You are equipped for this season. And with Christ, you are unstoppable.
Let’s make 2026 a year of divine connections, supernatural breakthroughs, and unstoppable kingdom impact.
Welcome to your season of OPEN DOORS.
“It is scriptural to be challenged, but it is unscriptural to be defeated.”- Bishop David Oyedepo
