A. MEMORY VERSE: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light”. 2 Corinthians 11:14

B. BIBLE TEXT: REVELATION 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

C. LESSON INTRODUCTION: We are living in a world where there is so much pretence, where people pretend to be what they are not. You will be amazed to discover that the person you call a friend in every sense of it is actually not. Nevertheless, our number one enemy is Satan the devil and the flesh. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

YOUR ENEMY SATAN – JAMES 4:7
We should not be ignorant of the devil’s schemes nor should we be surprised when we see the destruction he leaves in his work. We do not have to give him much rope to hang us with. His nature is to steal, kill and destroy.

Five things to know about Satan:
1. He is evil, wicked, calculating and void of any good, John 10:10

2. He hates God and God’s image in this world and works tirelessly to destroy all that God created as good.

3. He hates you and me and all humanity because we are crowning creatures in God’s world and we are His image bearers, Genesis 1:26

4. He is not equal with God but is created by God and under ultimate authority of our sovereign Lord.

5. His destiny is eternal destruction in hell.

OUR ENEMY (FLESH)
Flesh is not the body, but the sinful nature that dwells in our body. One form of the flesh is SELF, Romans 8:5-8

Three things to know about the flesh:
1. Flesh will never obey God. Flesh hates God and hates his son, Romans 8:7

2. Flesh is a sin. It houses stealing, telling lies, disobedience, fighting, hatred, pride etc, Mark 7:21-23

3. Flesh is controlled by Satan inside of us.

Here are some ways flesh expresses itself:
a. Self-Pride – Flesh says “I am number one people should look up to me and honour me”.

b. Self-Love – The person I love more than anyone is myself.

c. Self- Pity – Self is always grumbling and complaining, never satisfied.

d. Self – Righteousness – Self is quite satisfied with it’s own goodness and morality.

e. Self-Will – Self always wants to have its own way. It is not subject to the law of God, So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Romans 8:1.

CONCLUSION: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit”. Romans 8:1

PRAYER POINTS

1. Father, in Your mercy please, help me to constantly resist the devil that he may flee from me.

2. Father, please help me to overcome the wiles and schemes of Satan the devil that I may not fall into temptation.

3. Father, please help the body of Christ worldwide to run away from sin and evil acts so that we may be able retain Your presence in our lives.

4. Father, help all RCCG members to die to flesh on a daily basis.

5. Father, please increase the oil and anointing upon Your servant Daddy G.O to finish well and finish strong.

OPEN HEAVEN 7 JANUARY 2023 MEMORIZE: And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16

OPEN HEAVEN 7 JANUARY 2023 BIBLE READING 1 JOHN 4:15-21

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

OPEN HEAVEN 7 JANUARY 2023 MESSAGE

God is love and perfect love can only be experienced in Him (1 John 4:16-17). No matter how strong human love is, it usually has a hidden agenda and will remain imperfect if it is not established in God.

There is a classic example of two people who loved each other in the Bible: David and Jonathan. In 1 Samuel 18:4, the Bible says: And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

Looking closely at the gifts, you would observe that Jonathan gave David practically everything except his shoes. This is because in Bible times, one way to seal a contract is the giving of shoes, without which everything given can be reclaimed (Ruth 4:7).

In those days also, only sons wore shoes; servants were not allowed to. That is why in Luke 15:11-24, when the prodigal son returned, the father asked that shoes be put on his feet to show that he had accepted him back as a son and not a servant.

Thus, we see that Jonathan was saying to David, in essence, “We are friends, but don’t forget who you are. You are a beloved servant, but I am the son. You are only a beloved servant”.

In 1 Samuel 20:13-16 and verse 42, we see that Jonathan entered a covenant with David when it became clear that the latter would be king, extracting a promise from him not to wipe out his family. Later on, he even asked to become David’s assistant (1 Samuel 23:17).

Be careful when people say they love you; it may be because of what they can get from you. If it so happens that there is nothing to get anymore, then you would know who truly loves you.

God’s love for us, however, is perfect and unconditional. He loved us even while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8). He sacrificed His only begotten son so you and I can be saved (John 3:16). He alone is worthy of all your trust (1 John 4:16).

Choose the perfect love of God today by surrendering your life to Jesus. It is only in Him that we have an assurance of boldness on the day of judgement (1 John 4:17) and eternal life (Romans 6:23).

OPEN HEAVEN 7 JANUARY 2023 KEY POINT

God’s love is perfect.

To love God’s word is to take delight in reading, meditating and obeying His word. There are blessings attached to loving God’s word. When you love God’s word, it will serve as a guide and keep you from sin and you will not be deceived by wrong doctrines because you know the truth.

In addition, it will give you joy, guide your thoughts and words, build your confidence in God, give you good success, and make you closer to Him. Love for God’s word can be developed in many ways.

For example, by making a habit of reading the Bible daily. To enhance your meditation on God’s word, get some sticky notes, write scriptures on them, and paste them on your room walls, bathroom mirror, closets, laptops et cetera.

You can write out the memory verse for each day in this devotional daily for a start. This will enhance your meditation. Then, if there’s anything you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask the Holy Spirit for help.

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2023 MEMORIZE: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1 Peter 1:8

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2023 BIBLE READING 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2023 MESSAGE

Many have heard the term ‘Joy Unspeakable’, but only a few have ever experienced it. That is the kind of joy that overwhelms you so much that even when you want to express it verbally, you would find yourself speechless.

Some years ago, we had a programme in a town called Ota in Ogun State, Nigeria. A lady who had been barren for several years came there that day asking for prayers, after her husband’s relatives had threatened to throw her out within the year.

There were many people so I didn’t even know who I prayed for. The following year, we were holding another programme somewhere else, with a long queue of those who wanted me to pray for them. Unknown to me, this same lady was there and when it got to her turn, she kept opening her mouth to speak but said nothing.

Finally, she was able to utter just one word: “Jesus”. When she finally was able to speak, she explained that she was that barren woman I had prayed for the previous year.

It was then I realized why she had been speechless earlier; she was carrying a baby on her left and another on her right – she had given birth to twins. I pray you will soon experience joy unspeakable, in Jesus’ name.

Our memory verse (1 Peter 1:8) says if you believe in God, then He will make available to you joy unspeakable, full of glory. All you have to do is believe in Him. Believing in Him means that you act according to what you say you believe.

James 2:17 says: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Your behaviour must show that you believe in God. Your attitude must reflect your belief in all the promises of God in the Bible. It must be that of one who goes to God believing that whatever he has asked for will be given to him.

James 1:6-8 says anyone who comes to God without faith should not even think that he will receive anything from Him. Put all your faith in God and you will experience unspeakable joy as He begins to unfold His glorious plans for you in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2023 PRAYER POINT

Father, as I put all my faith in you, let me experience unspeakable joy in all areas of my life in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JANUARY 2023 MEMORIZE: A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JANUARY 2023 BIBLE READING ECCLESIASTES 4:9-10

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JANUARY 2023 MESSAGE

Love is a two-way street (Proverbs 8:17). You show someone love, and typically, they will show you love in return. If you want to make friends with people, show yourself friendly to them first (Proverbs 18:24).

If you want them to favour you, favour them first. I have seen people arrive at my house frowning but depart with beaming smiles after experiencing my wife’s hospitality. Indeed, some people don’t have friends because they don’t show themselves friendly.

Several years ago, one of my daughters came to me and said, “Daddy, I’m this old, and nobody has approached me to say, ‘Thus saith the Lord…””. I said, “With the way you glare at everybody as if you are spoiling for a fight, who is going to approach you and say, ‘Thus saith the Lord” even if God is actually speaking? You never smile; you are always looking as if somebody offended you, and so, if a brother should even be coming your way, one look at your face is enough to make him change his mind.” Thank God she took the feedback graciously and made the necessary changes. It wasn’t long after that she got married.

Love should be reciprocal. Whether you believe it or not, everyone needs good friends. Our Bible reading for today says for the one who has no friend, WHEN he falls, there would be no one to lift him. Take note that the word ‘when’ was used, not ‘if’.

Everyone will have times when they need someone to lift them; God forbid that there is no one to lift you when that time comes. Proverbs 18:24 says that there are some friends that stick closer than a brother. You need friends, so show yourself friendly to those around you.

You must, however, choose your friends carefully because, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), so does evil communication (bad company) corrupt good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33). Everyone needs good friends, and the greatest friend of all is our Lord Jesus Christ. Surrender your life to Him today if you I haven’t, so you can also become His friend (John 15:15).

Your earthly parents are the people who, by their union, brought you into the world
They are your caretakers on earth. For you to be prosperous, you need to provoke their blessings through obedience and doing things that will bring them peace and joy.

According to the memory verse, even if they do not bless you openly, because you honour them, your Heavenly Father will bless you. When you consider the life of Jacob in the Bible, you’ll realize that though he was cheated by his father-in-law, the blessings of God pronounced upon him by his father were undeniable and they made him prosper.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 JANUARY 2023 HYMN

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Chorus
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
