PRAYER POINTS

Thank You Lord for Your love. I pray today, Jesus, that I will grow in the knowledge of You and deepen my love for You and Your Word in Jesus name.

Father, give me a thirst for You with every passing day, and may I settle for nothing less than the very closest relationship with You as I press on to the high calling of becoming just like You.

Almighty Father, give my household and I a hunger to study Your Word and to seek to know You more each day. Just as the dawn comes with its exact precision, help us to trust that You will also move in our lives, in Your perfect timing and in Your beautiful way in Jesus mighty name.

Heavenly Father, please reveal more of Yourself to me. I want to know You more.

Lord, I love You and want to know You more and more. I long that I may become increasingly intimate with You my God and Saviour.

Draw me nearer to You precious Lord, and keep me moment by moment wrapped in Your grace and love in Jesus name.

O Lord give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know You better. I wish also that the eyes of my heart be enlightened in Jesus name.

Eternal King I ask that the eyes of my heart may be illumined by Your Word of truth, so that I may know more fully the hope to which I have been called.

Father, take not Your Holy Spirit from me, but endow me with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, so that I may know You more and love You better, with every passing day in Jesus name.

Thank You for the benefactors and beneficiaries of Your great work on this platform (RCCGONLINE.ORG). Father I ask that fresh fire fall upon them, that they will be set ablaze for You.

Oh Lord, bless your son Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye for all his years of continual service, remember him, guide him on the path, help him remain focused, bless his entire household, and fulfill all Your promises for their liberation, ministry and family, in Jesus’ name.

Thank You Father for the intercessory team and the online platform (RCCGONLINE.ORG) and that which You have put in their hearts, I pray that You make them as flaming swords to bring men to Your kingdom and shut down the works of darkness in the name of Jesus.

Father, bless everyone dedicating their time to pray through these prayers & declarations at the point of their needs. Give them the grace to share/rebroadcast, in Jesus’ name.

Submit yourself and your personal petitions to God. Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.

( Philippians 4:6)

In Jesus’ name I pray.

(John 14:13-14; 15:16)

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2022 MEMORIZE: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2022 BIBLE READING 1 SAMUEL 3:1-4

1. And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

2. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

3. And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

4. That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2022 MESSAGE

God does not necessarily call a person based on his age or maturity, but on his readiness to serve. This He knows by looking at the heart of the fellow. Besides, its a lot easier and more fulfilling to give an assignment to a young person who has the vigour to pursue it and is ready to follow through until the desired result is achieved.

This is not to say God does not use the elderly to achieve Kingdom goals. He does.
David was the youngest of Jesses eight sons and was anointed as King when he was young; Moses was his mothers last child and at the age of 80, he was chosen to deliver Israel from slavery.

Similarly, I am the last son of my mother but God called me at age 39 to resign from my secular job and become a pastor. You’ll realize that the time or age you were called doesn’t really matter; what’s important is to answer the call of God on your life into whichever field He wants you to serve Him and humanity.

In addition, the call of God is not restricted to spiritual ministry. Many Christians are called into different professions where they can use their skills and grace to impact lives positively and shine the light of Christ. Wherever God wants you to serve Him, make sure you do it judiciously and win souls for His kingdom while at it.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2022 KEY POINT

God can use you too.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2022 HYMN

I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine, O Lord,
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise
in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me nearer,
nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer,
nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to
Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up
with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight
of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer,
and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Are you in need of Christian hymns about God’s love? Hymns are a great way to remind ourselves about God’s love.

For decades, Hymns have been a part of the church and they will continue to be so because of how deeply relatable the melody and words are to our Christian walk.

Hymns minister to us in different ways and there are hymns for different seasons of our lives. There are Christian hymns about God’s Love, the Christian faith, praise and thanksgiving, rapture, strength, and so much more.

It is our prayer that the 6 Christian hymns about God’s love below remind you of God’s amazing love. Do not hesitate to share more hymn titles with us in the comments section.

1) WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear-
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

2) I AM SO GLAD THAT MY FATHER IN HEAVEN

1 I am so glad that our Father in heav’n
Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see:
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

CHORUS
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.

2 Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.

3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be:
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

3) THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

1 There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases–
No, not one! no, not one!

Refrain:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!

2 No friend like Him is so high and holy–
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly–
No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]

3 There’s not an hour that He is not near us –
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us–
No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]

4 Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]

4) THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS HERE

1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:

Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.

2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus. [Refrain]

5) I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1 I have found a friend in Jesus-
He’s ev’rything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley- in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay,
He tells me ev’ry care on Him to roll;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.

2 He all my grief has taken and all my sorrows borne,
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
I have all for Him forsaken and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His pow’r.
Though all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.

3 He will never, never leave me nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear-
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory I’ll see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.

6) JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

1 Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me he who died
heaven’s gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in. [Refrain]

3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, “Let them come to me.” [Refrain]

Have you ever thought about ways to support your pastor?
We see and acknowledge the demands and hard work that comes with our professional jobs and careers. It is easy to recognize the stress and pressure that doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, or financial advisors go through because we understand that these jobs sometimes take a toll on the worker’s life, family, mind or health.

However, we tend to dismiss or trivialize the pressures and demands of the pastoring work.
While other jobs care for the temporary dimensions of our lives, our Pastors care for the most important aspect – our souls. Why then do we forget them?

As much as a Pastor is a servant of God whose job is spiritual, the fact remains that the job has physical demands and the Pastor is human.

Here are 3 ways to support your Pastor.

1. PRAY FOR THEM

It is okay to pray for your Pastors and not just expect them to be the ones praying for you all the time. Every believer can pray and no one should be left out of praying for the Pastor. It is an easy task that everyone can do.
God does great wonders through prayers, so pray for His servant, that they will remain strengthened and encouraged in the work of God, they will grow in the anointing and in grace and their other endeavors will prosper.

Also pray against the antics of the enemy fashioned against the church and pastors.

2. BE KIND TO YOUR PASTOR

The demands of being a Pastor is all encompassing. Starting from the time, effort and sacrifice put into praying and setting out time to prepare sermons.

Every sermon and exhortation needs special consecration, attention, prayer, examination and preparation. Thus, while it’s easy to criticize a sermon, it is important to be show kindness to your pastor through kind and encouraging words that shows that you’re thankful for the time spent preparing the sermons for your growth. You can even ask questions.

Asides sermons, Pastors also spend a lot of time all through the week, praying, counseling, comforting, and helping the flock. It is no surprise that many Pastors experience burnouts, fatigue and even mental stress, seeing how much they pour out a lot to their congregations.

The least a member can do is extend some kindness to the Pastor by saying kind words, sending encouraging texts or e-mai, calling to appreciate them. You can even go an extra length by offering to help them with some tasks.

3. GIVE TO YOUR PASTOR

This is another great way to support your Pastor. Because Pastors are humans like you who have families, make daily decisions and face life challenges, it is pertinent to extend grace to them and support them financially when you can. Although giving in this context is largely material and financial, there may be other godly ways you can give immaterial gifts to your Pastor. Seek out to do this and support God’s servants.

What other ways can Pastors be supported?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 16 OCTOBER 2022 BIBLE READING PSALMS 51:10-12

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 16 OCTOBER 2022 MESSAGE

Many years ago, when I was still working in the University, a fellow lecturer gave his life to Christ and was filled with so much joy. He then he came to me one day and said he couldn’t understand what was happening to him as he was always filled with joy. I told him that it was the joy of the Lord and he should continue to enjoy it.

There is a special kind of joy that flows from within in the life of a new convert but unfortunately, some Christians lose it as they grow older in the faith due to over-familiarity with spiritual matters, worldliness and ultimately, sin. This joy is supposed to be permanent in ones life, nothing whatsoever should steal it from one because it is what keeps a Christian going, even when there are troubles or delayed promises.

Where do you stand today? Have you lost your joy of salvation? If you no longer feel this joy it is because you have left your first love. Therefore, ask the Holy Spirit for help today, so that your joy can be restored.

No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

CHORUS:

2. I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.

5. I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll;
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.

6) JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

1 Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me he who died
heaven’s gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in. [Refrain]

3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, “Let them come to me.” [Refrain]

Have you ever thought about practical ways to support your pastor?
We see and acknowledge the demands and hard work that comes with our professional jobs and careers. It is easy to recognize the stress and pressure that doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, or financial advisors go through because we understand that these jobs sometimes take a toll on the worker’s life, family, mind or health.

However, we tend to dismiss or trivialize the pressures and demands of the pastoring work.
While other jobs care for the temporary dimensions of our lives, our Pastors care for the most important aspect – our souls. Why then do we forget them?

As much as a Pastor is a servant of God whose job is spiritual, the fact remains that the job has physical demands and the Pastor is human.

Here are 3 ways to support your Pastor.

1. PRAY FOR THEM

It is okay to pray for your Pastors and not just expect them to be the ones praying for you all the time. Every believer can pray and no one should be left out of praying for the Pastor. It is an easy task that everyone can do.
God does great wonders through prayers, so pray for His servant, that they will remain strengthened and encouraged in the work of God, they will grow in the anointing and in grace and their other endeavors will prosper.

Also pray against the antics of the enemy fashioned against the church and pastors.

2. BE KIND TO YOUR PASTOR

The demands of being a Pastor is all encompassing. Starting from the time, effort and sacrifice put into praying and setting out time to prepare sermons.

Every sermon and exhortation needs special consecration, attention, prayer, examination and preparation. Thus, while it’s easy to criticize a sermon, it is important to be show kindness to your pastor through kind and encouraging words that shows that you’re thankful for the time spent preparing the sermons for your growth. You can even ask questions.

Asides sermons, Pastors also spend a lot of time all through the week, praying, counseling, comforting, and helping the flock. It is no surprise that many Pastors experience burnouts, fatigue and even mental stress, seeing how much they pour out a lot to their congregations.

The least a member can do is extend some kindness to the Pastor by saying kind words, sending encouraging texts or e-mai, calling to appreciate them. You can even go an extra length by offering to help them with some tasks.

3. GIVE TO YOUR PASTOR

This is another great way to support your Pastor. Because Pastors are humans like you who have families, make daily decisions and face life challenges, it is pertinent to extend grace to them and support them financially when you can. Although giving in this context is largely material and financial, there may be other godly ways you can give immaterial gifts to your Pastor. Seek out to do this and support God’s servants.
