OPEN HEAVEN 19 AUGUST 2022 MEMORIZE: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mathew 241:3

OPEN HEAVEN 19 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE READING REVELATION 3:11-13

11. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

OPEN HEAVEN 19 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11 Jesus Christ said that it is possible for someone to take a crown that was prepared for another person.

It is possible for a Christian to have worked very hard for God, but lose the crown to someone else due to carelessness and not being watchful. I pray this will not be your portion in Jesus name. Nobody else will take the fruits of your labour in the Kingdom of God, in Jesus name.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:12-13 There is no medal for starting the race – it comes when you finish it.

If you drop out of the race and God chooses someone else to finish it for you, the fellow will get all your medals. In the name of Jesus, nobody else will get the crown that I have been working for in the Kingdom of God all these years.

I want to say like Paul: I have finished my race, I have kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7). I heard a story about fifty Christians who were being tortured by soldiers. The soldiers took the Christians to a very cold lake, stripped them naked and told them to get into the water.

The soldiers then made a big bonfire beside the lake. They told the Christians that whenever any of them was ready to deny Jesus, they could come out of the lake and warm themselves by the fire. The Christians resisted and at some point, they were close to death. Suddenly, fifty angels appeared with crowns in their hands and they were moving towards these Christians in the lake.

The Christians could not see them. It was at that point that one of the Christians thought he could no longer resist the cold so he denied Jesus and, as he was coming out of the lake, the angel who brought his crown was about to turn back to heaven when one of the soldiers who had seen the angel turning back put off his own clothes and jumped into the lake, thereby claiming the crown that the other fellow had lost.

I tell you my brethren from the depth of my heart, hold fast to the end so that no one else would take your crown.

OPEN HEAVEN 19 AUGUST 2022 KEY POINT

Hold fast to the end so that no one else would take your crown.

CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE

1. Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.

CHORUS:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.

2. In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory.

3. Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 AUGUST 2022 MEMORIZE: And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9.23

OPEN HEAVEN 20 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE READING REVELATION 3:14-18

14. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17, Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see,

LUKE 9:23-24

23. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

The Laodiceans were very rich people, but they were lukewarm. Jesus said He would spew them out of His mouth because they said that they were rich and thus had need of nothing. Jesus told these people that they were poor and to be rich, they needed to come and buy gold tried in the fire from Him.

To be clothed, they needed to buy white raiment from Him too. This reminds us of what we learnt when we discussed the Letter to the Smyrnan Church earlier this month (10th and 11th of August). Jesus didn’t say they should come and get from Him the gold tried in fire or the white raiment; He said they should come and buy it. In other words, they would have to give up something in order to get it.

This is where the problem is with lukewarm Christians. They want convenient Christianity and that does not exist. They want to come to Church when they like and do only what is convenient for them in the word of God. If you are not giving something up to stand firm in the faith, you are a lukewarm Christian.

If you discover that for some time now, the Lord has not taken anything from you that was difficult to give up – whether it is material or in your character, you are a lukewarm Christian. You don’t get the white raiment or the gold tried in fire without giving something up. You don’t become spiritually rich without giving up something in the physical.

If you don’t tell anyone about Jesus, or you indulge in the lust of the eyes or pay people to do the work of God because you can no longer work for Him with your own hands as that will be beneath your social class, you are a lukewarm Christian.

If you are finding it difficult to let go of a particular thing or pick up something new so as to gain spiritual riches, you had better change your ways now because the Lord says He will spew you out of His mouth.

God has spewed some people out of His mouth but they don’t know it. They think they are still in Christ, but they are long gone. I hope that todays message can help shed some light on whether you have become lukewarm or not. I really do pray that the Almighty God shows you the areas where you may need to reignite the fire, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 AUGUST 2022 KEY POINT

Father, any area where my fire has become lukewarm, please show me and help me to become hot for You again, in Jesus name.

DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;

2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

And His perfect will.

3. Deeper, deeper! tho it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.

4. Deeper, higher, evry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conquror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 AUGUST 2022 SUNDAY: LETTER TO THE LAODICEAN CHURCH II

OPEN HEAVEN 21 AUGUST 2022 MEMORIZE: My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: Proverbs 3:11

OPEN HEAVEN 21 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE READING REVELATION 3:19-22

19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

PROVERBS 3:11-12

11. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

12. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19 Jesus told the Laodiceans that He was rebuking and chastening them because He loved them.

If you love your son, you will chasten him when he is going the wrong way. It is only a father who hates his child that will watch him or her go the wrong way and keep quiet. “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.” Proverbs 13:24.

In 2020 when I came out to say that the Lord was using the Coronavirus to draw the worlds attention back to Himself, many people said I was implying that God does not love the world anymore and He was punishing them.

How dare I say that the Lord does not love the world when He Himself said in John 3:16 that He loves the world. It is because He loves the world that He chastens us when we are going wrong. He can see the end from the beginning, He can see the destruction the world is calling to itself by ignoring Him, so He will chasten us.

When God loves you, expect some strokes of the cane whenever you step out of line because He chastens those He loves. However, when God decides to leave a person, it is very dangerous.

When God has corrected a fellow several times but he or she refuses to change, He will leave such a person alone as he or she is headed for destruction (Romans 1:28 Proverbs 29:1).

Have you been ignoring Gods rebuke over something you are doing wrong? Soon, you will stop hearing the rebuke, as in the case of Ephraim, when God said he should be left alone (Hosea 4:17) When God rebukes a person, he or she should immediately run back to Him in repentance because if He decides to keep quiet, that person is finished. A word is enough for the wise.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 AUGUST 2022 KEY POINT

Change your ways immediately God rebukes and chastens you so that He will not leave you to perish.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 AUGUST 2022 MEMORIZE: But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6

OPEN HEAVEN 22 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE READING 1 TIMOTHY 6:6-12

6. But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11, But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

Money never satisfies those who love it (Ecclesiastes 5:10-12). When you have a Mercedes S Class, you rejoice. However, the day you see someone with a Rolls Royce, you become hungry for more. In any case, Ecclesiastes 5:11 says that when the money you have increases, the number of those who will spend it with you will also increase.

Ecclesiastes 5:12 goes further to say that the people you call poor often enjoy more blessings than the rich ones because nothing bothers their sleep, whereas the abundance of the rich hardly allows them rest. A lot of rich people even have problems eating because they have so much to choose from.

Some rich people will spend several minutes trying to decide on what to eat whereas those of us who are not so rich just thank God for what is available and we eat it with joy. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 says godliness with contentment is great gain. That passage further says that if you have food to eat and clothes to wear, you should be content with that. 

No matter how big your house is, you can only sleep in one room at a time. No matter how many cars you have, you can only travel in one at a time. We brought nothing into the world and we will take nothing out when we are leaving. Whatever money or treasures you amass here on earth will be useless when it is time to leave.

There was a man who was so rich and so miserly that he used to go to the market by himself to buy foodstuff. Anytime his wife cooked his own pot of soup, he would take it into his room and lock it away from everyone else. He didn’t trust the banks so he kept his money in a room where no one ever entered.

One day, he died and his children came home. On getting home, they began looking for the key to the room where he kept his money. The youngest then said I know Papa, I am sure he must have swallowed the key before he died. So, they turned his corpse, started beating his back and the key popped out of his mouth.

All the wealth you are pursuing will be useless to you one day. Rather than focus on things that are temporal, why don’t you put your gaze on eternal blessings? (2 Corinthians 4:18). Don’t lose eternal treasures because of your focus on material things. Be content with what you have.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 AUGUST 2022 KEY POINT

Spend your time on earth amassing treasures in heaven rather than treasures here which will be destroyed eventually.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 AUGUST 2022 MEMORIZE: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

OPEN HEAVEN 23 AUGUST 2022 BIBLE READING PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13

11. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

The interesting thing about contentment is that it is something you can learn. Paul said he had learnt to be content whether he had plenty or little. You can learn contentment and you can start learning it right now.

Everybody needs to learn to be content. When you look at Paul’s statement, you can understand his mindset. What he was actually saying when he said that he was content whether in plenty or in lack is that he knew that no situation is permanent.

This is a very important mindset to help us learn contentment. When you know that your present situation is not permanent and things will soon get better, then you will be content with what you have now. When you know that every day is not a feast, you won’t be expecting to eat every delicacy possible every day.

In any case, all you need is to eat enough to give you strength for the day. The moment you learn contentment, you begin to enjoy the peace of God that passes all understanding because you won’t worry about tomorrow.

Once you are content, nobody can tempt you to steal or falsify records and once you have not stolen or falsified records, you then suddenly discover that there is nothing any man can do to shake you. lt is when lack of contentment has led you to do something that you shouldn’t have done that you suddenly become afraid.

Jesus Christ said: “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” John 14:30 If you are content with whatever God gives to you, then you will not go after what the devil is offering you.

In Luke 4:2-8, the devil offered Jesus a lot of riches and influence; even though Jesus was hungry and tired at the time the offer was made, He did not take the offer because He was content with what God had given to Him.

If you know that the Lord has prosperity planned for you, then you will not spoil your chances of getting that prosperity by being covetous now. Not being content has made many people steal thousands and lost the billions that God was planning to give them.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 AUGUST 2022 PRAYER POINT

Lord, please teach me to be content.

OPEN HEAVEN 18 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

Jesus was full of praises for the Philadelphian Church. He also gave them several promises, only warning them to hold fast. Such a beautiful letter!

In AD 17, Philadelphia experienced a lot of earthquakes. The tremors kept the people of Philadelphia constantly alert When people have no troubles, they feel so relaxed and assume that they don’t need God. That is why 1 Peter 1:7 says that trials come to strengthen our faith.

The reason you see so much more revival in Africa these days than in the developed world is probably that what we have to pray for in the developing countries is always provided by the respective governments of nations in the developed world.

Thus, we have no choice than to do as David did in Psalms 121:1-3 to look up to the Lord from whence cometh our help. Once in a while when God sees that a Christian is beginning to fall into spiritual sleep, He sends a trial to wake him up.

I believe one of the reasons Solomon started worshipping idols is that after building the temple, he became idle and forgot God. You must always look for new mountains to conquer, you must always say, like Caleb in Joshua 14:12 give me this mountain. Don’t ever feel relaxed as if you don’t need God.

If after building the temple, Solomon had decided to advance the Kingdom of God further, he would have had the constant need to rely on God. If you have made a lot of money, use the money to start organising outreaches for the sinners and the poor.

Just remain busy for God, asking for new mountains to conquer all the time and you will never forget Him. History tells us that the Philadelphian Church was a mission-minded one. The members were always witnessing and sending people out on missions.

When the Mohammedans came to Asia minor and all the other Churches collapsed, the Philadelphian Church stood firm. There is still a Church in Philadelphia to date. This tells us very clearly that if you are always witnessing, if you are always winning souls, the devil will not be able to make you fall.

I’VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD

1 I’ve a message from the Lord, Hallelujah!
The message unto you I’ll give.
’Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”
Refrain:

“Look and live,” my brother, live.
Look to Jesus now and live.
’Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”

2 I’ve a message full of love, Hallelujah!
A message, O my friend, for you.
’Tis a message from above, Hallelujah!
Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.

3 Life is offered unto you. Hallelujah!
Eternal life your soul shall have
If you’ll only look to Him. Hallelujah!
Look to Jesus, who alone can save.

4 I will tell you how I came, Hallelujah!
To Jesus when He made me whole:
’Twas believing on His name, Hallelujah!
I trusted and He saved my soul.

1.  Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

2.  The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3.  The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

One way to touch God’s heart or make Him remember you always is by giving to the poor. Proverbs 19:17 says: “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

God does not owe anyone, so if the Bible says that you should lend to the Lord by helping the poor fellow around you, rest assured that He will repay your good deeds. The problem with many children of God is that they usually expect payback from those they’ve given to.

They complain that the people they’ve helped or given to don’t help or give back to them.
Let your acts of benevolence be done in faith and towards God alone. Even if no one appreciates you, be sure that the seed will be remembered by God Himself someday.

This week, identify at least two people in your school, office or Church who are in dire need of material things, money, food, prayers or care and be a blessing to them.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1.  “There shall be showers of blessing:”
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

CHORUS
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2.  “There shall be showers of
blessing,”
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3.  “There shall be showers of blessing;”
Send them upon us, Oh Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honour Thy Word.

4.  “There shall be showers of blessing:”
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

5.  “There shall be showers of blessing,”
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
