Powerful Declarations: Powerful Declarations For Today 22 September 2022

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today I have the energy of God moving within me. Fatigue and weariness to fall into the antics and temptations of the enemy are a lie! God’s unction is on me to do what He has called me to do and to overcome the devil’s antics. My body is able and my heart is willing. I come into alignment with God’s will and I overcome temptations in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING GENESIS 39:1-4

1. And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.

2. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 MESSAGE

If you do a study on the life of Joseph, you will discover that he knew how to serve people. When he was still a child, he catered to the needs of his father and checked on his elder brothers who were rearing flocks in the field (Genesis 37:13-14).

When he was taken as a slave to Egypt, he served his master Potiphar to the point that he made him an overseer of his house (Genesis 39:3-4). While in prison, he served, as the warden left other prisoners in his care. No wonder when he eventually became a Prime Minister, he performed excellently.

My dear child, your ability to serve others genuinely will qualify you for that big achievement or position you’re aiming at. Don’t be like the child who wants to enjoy wealth but doesn’t want to work for it. It is true that some people are born great but their attitude to service will determine whether their greatness will last.

If you really want to be great, whatsoever your hand finds to do in your house, school, church, neighbourhood or community, put in your best. Serve God with your gifts and abilities; in no time, high positions will find you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 KEY POINT

If you’re faithful in little, you will get bigger opportunities.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 HYMN

Let others see Jesus in you.

2. Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?

3. What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you.

4. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING 1 CORINTHIANS 6:17-20

17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 MESSAGE

One of the greatest temptations faced by this generation is sexual sins. This is understandable. In my days, hardly would you see an almost naked woman on a billboard advert, but these days, even a toothpaste advert would have a practically nude woman in it.

Also, in my days, there was no internet and virginity was a thing of pride and joy to a girls family. However, it does not matter how times have changed, Gods word has not and cannot change. God still hates every kind of sin because it is disobedience to Him, as well as wickedness against fellow humans and oneself, particularly the sin of fornication.

The Bible admonishes us not to commit any sin but when it comes to fornication, it says, flee! Joseph must have understood this command clearly, so its no wonder that he fled before Potiphar’s wife.

I know that with an internet-enabled phone, it may be difficult not to see some bad images that would arouse you, but I can tell you what the Bible says: if your eyes would make you sin, pluck them off (Matthew 18:9).

In other words, if an android phone would lead you to hell, don’t use it. If bad friends would make you fornicate, stay without friendship, after all, the best friend ever is still Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 HYMN

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day;
Ye that are men now serve Him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own:
put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song:
to him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.

The Bible is a prophetic Book that contains deep mysteries and revelation. No matter how many times we read the Bible from the beginning to the end, we can never fully exhaust it and dig out all of its treasures. This is why we must never get tired of studying scriptures. Because God has a lot of blessings, revelation, and prophecies in it for us.

When studying scripture, it is important to know that the old Testament and the new testament are connected and all part of God’s grand plan. Some scriptures in the old testament are linked to Jesus in the new testament and today we’ll share some of these amazing connections with you.

1. GARDEN OF EDEN

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God clothing Adam and his wife with tunics of skin (most likely after slaying a lamb to use its skin) after the fall can be linked to God’s ultimate plan to use the blood of the lamb (His Son) to save man from the consequences of his fall.

Further in the old Testament, we see God giving His people the commandment of slaying animals for remission of their sins. This was a temporary solution linked to the ultimate solution – Christ’s death for our redemption.

Hebrews 9:13-10:18 KJV

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

2. ABRAHAM AND ISAAC

“So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God asking Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, was prophetic. A symbol of how God would give His only begotten son to save the world.

“Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God eventually provided a ram (an adult lamb) for Abraham to sacrifice. This is a type of Jesus Christ who would be sacrificed for us. The ram caught “in a thicket by its horns.” can also be likened to the crown of thorns placed on Jesus head during His passion.

3. PSALMS 22

In the book of Psalms, David wrote some things that were prophetic about Jesus Christ. We’ll be looking at Psalms 22 today.

In verse 1, He used the exact same words Jesus used on the cross of Calvary “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”.

In verse 8, he said “All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭22:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This was the same way Jesus Christ was mocked on the cross of Calvary where people mocked Him and said “You saved people. Save yourself now”

Lastly, in verse 16, David said “They pierced My hands and My feet; ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭22:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I’m sure David didn’t know He was prophesying about the Christ. Jesus Christ feet and hands were pierced. Physically, David’s hands and legs were not pierced. He thought he was just saying it as an idiom or proverb but he was actually prophesying.

David may have thought He was just crying out to God due to His circumstances, He didn’t realize that what He was saying was very prophetic.

4. JACOB AND ESAU

“Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.” Genesis‬ ‭27:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Jacob had to put on the skin of kids and goats so He could appear to be like his older brother – Isaac before He could come before His father Isaac for blessings. This can be likened to how we as believers can now come before God under the covering of Jesus Christ (Our older brother – the first of the begotten). Now we can put on Christ like a clothe as admonished in Romans‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, …” and come before God not out of deception but out of God’s Love in making us become one with His Son.
‭‭

5. BLOOD ON THE LINTEL

“Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12:5-8‬ ‭

In Egypt, God told the Israelites to kill a lamb and put the blood on the lintel of their houses. He also asked them to eat the meat – Just as Jesus Christ, the lamb of God came and gave His disciples bread to eat signifying His flesh and He asked us to keep taking the communion in remembrance of Him.

There are many other scriptures in the old testament that directly link to the new testament. You can share others with us in the comments section.

We hope you learned a thing or two.

God’s word is loaded when read with the Holy Spirit and revelation.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

OPEN HEAVEN 20 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING 2 KINGS 2:15-22

15. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

16. And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

17. And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

18. And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

19. And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

20. And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

21. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

22. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

In 2 Kings 2:19-22, the men of Jericho had been suffering under a curse for years. Barrenness and death were the order of the day. Everything looked good on the surface, but underneath, there was a lot of sorrow and decadence, yet they kept quiet.

Their hope for restoration seemed lost when Elijah, who had been around them for a while, was taken away with the chariot of fire. Fortunately for them, Elisha had received the double portion of Elijahs spirit. The moment they saw that he had Elijahs spirit in him, they cried for help. That day, the yoke that had lingered for generations was destroyed.

If you have been postponing going on a retreat where you can be alone with God to discuss a negative generational pattern you have noticed in your family, a time may come when it would be too late and your children would have to battle the same problem.

When you have had enough, you will go to a solitary place and really cry to the Almighty God in desperation saying, Lord, I will not let you go unless you change this evil pattern for good. The prayer of enough is enough is one that you do all night in private where you can take any position you want without bothering who is looking at you.

One of my sons-in-the-Lord came to me one day and said he was living in the same house with a witchdoctor and she was affecting his work negatively as he was not making any progress. I said, Why don’t you eject the woman, are you not supposed to be a prayer warrior? He said, No, I’m a tenant, just like she is; just pray for me that I make progress at work and everyone can have their own way.

After a while, I didn’t see my son until he showed up one day with rashes all over his body. He said that the witchdoctor had had him accused of robbery and arrested. After some days in detention, during which time mosquitoes had feasted very well on him, the policemen saw that this man was always singing and quoting the Bible, so they released him.

I told him, I said you should remove this fellow, you refused; now she is moving you. The next time she moves you, you won’t come back. That day he prayed, and within three days, the woman relocated. Stop postponing your freedom because the one keeping you in bondage may strike so hard that you won’t be able to recover. I hope you are ready to pray now.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 SEPTEMBER 2022 PRAYER POINT

HOLD THE FORT

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing
Victory is nigh.

CHORUS
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.

2. See the mighty host advancing
Satan leading on;
Mighty ones around us falling
Courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s Name we triumph
Over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

OPEN HEAVEN 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:8

OPEN HEAVEN 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 7:7-11

7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

OPEN HEAVEN 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 MESSAGE

Many at times, Christians give themselves headache over what should not be a problem at all. You have a Father in heaven who is the Almighty and owns the entire world and all that is in it, yet you bother your brain so much about your needs when you can easily ask Him and He will give you whatever you need.

Many problems have lingered for too long because instead of praying, the fellow involved is worrying. The latter part of James 5:16 says: “..The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

It did not say the effectual fervent worries will avail much. In fact, in Matthew 6:27, Jesus Christ said expressly that worrying will do absolutely nothing for you. Don’t burden yourself with what you cannot carry; ask God and He will carry your troubles for you. He has put no limit to how much you can ask of Him.

In John 16:24, He said you should ask so your joy may be full. Inversely, this also means that you cannot be filled with joy until you have asked Him. Many people get angry with God unnecessarily. They would have gone to every human being they can reach and gotten frustrated, then turn to God and ask, Why me?

Many Christians burden themselves so much because they don’t know how much God loves them and how willing He is to give them whatever they ask for. He loved you so much that He sacrificed His son for your sake; what is it that you can ask Him that will be greater than that? Why would He hold back anything from you when He did not withhold His only begotten Son from you? “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32” He has given you a blank cheque.

Instead of worrying and jumping around looking for solutions to your problems, go on your knees and write in the blank cheque which is found in Matthew 7:7-8

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 cannot fail.
When the howling storms of
doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God
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.
