32. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33. I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

34. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 28 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

It’s good to receive blessings but better to be a blessing to others. A lot of Christians have an entitlement mentality that makes them assume they can get anything from anyone irrespective of whether they deserve it or not.

Their prayers are centred on their desires and requests alone without bothering to pray for others who need miracles. This is not a good attitude at all. Every child of God must think about others. This is why in the second commandment, Jesus said you should love others as yourself (Matthew 22:39).

The four lepers in Samaria (2 Kings 7:3) hit a divine jackpot and had a field day in the enemy’s camp but they didn’t stop there, they took the news to the Kings palace so that others could benefit too. When God blesses you, He is watching to see whether you will share with others.

The secret is, the more you share, the more you get but when you hoard the blessing, it doesn’t multiply in your hands. A giver’s hand is always on top; choose the better option by being a giver henceforth so that your blessings will overflow.

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.

OPEN HEAVEN 27 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:20”

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ would be considered useless if the children of God those who come to God through Jesus Christ were not overcomers. Jesus achieved the ultimate victory over the devil and over the world, so that the children of God can live as overcomers.

Jesus died on the cross at Calvary for you and was raised from the dead so that the devil and his agents will not have dominion over you (Colossians 2:13-15) You may then wonder why some Christians still suffer under the oppression of the devil.

Well, if a child of God does not take his place in prayer, Bible study, and holy living, he cannot enjoy the victory that Christ Jesus won for him. The Bible already states that we can only judge all disobedience when our obedience is complete (2 Corinthians 10:6).

The victory in Christ Jesus that you continually exercise over the devil, challenges, and unpalatable circumstances is dependent upon your submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist he devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 Before you resist the devil and he flees, you must first have submitted to God. If you don’t submit, the devil will also not flee when you resist him.

The devil is not afraid of you; he knows that he can overcome you if you are not standing in Jesus Christ. He knows that you don’t have any power to harm him whereas he can harm you. He knows all these so he cannot be afraid of you.

However, when you go under the authority of the Almighty, then he trembles at your mere presence. The centurion told Jesus that his soldiers obeyed him because he was a man under authority (Matthew 8:9).

If you want the devil and his agents to obey you, you must be under the authority of the Almighty. If you want the devil to obey you, you must be under the authority of the Most High. It is as simple as that.

It is Gods responsibility to enforce your victory over the world; it is your responsibility to remain submitted to Him.

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.

3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

OPEN HEAVEN 30 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Many years ago in my home town, we needed to dig a well, so we called someone to do the job. After he had dug for so long and did not hit water, he gave up. Since our agreement was that we would pay him when he found water, he gave up the money too.

We then called someone else to finish the job. The fellow also negotiated his pay and we agreed. The newly hired man continued from where the first man had left off and just as his digger hit the ground, water gushed out. Before long, he was done with his job and he collected all the money that the other fellow would have collected, without doing as much work.

You may just be one prayer away from receiving your answer. If you stop praying now, all the time and effort invested in praying over that matter may go to waste. God can never withhold anything good from His children (Luke 11:11-13). He actually even wants better things for you than you can pray for.

There may be things you have been asking Him for over a period of time; don’t worry, He can hear you and will answer in due time.

When I was still living in the house that is now called Open Heavens International Centre, my prayer room was more accessible to the children, but whenever I was in there, nobody dared disturb me except my youngest child who would come in anytime he wanted me to give him some cookies.

Sometimes I would ignore him, hoping that he would leave me alone, but he would not give up. At last, I would realise that if I really wanted to pray, I would have to get up my prayers and attend to him first.

Can you keep asking God for what you want until He says, I had better give this boy/girl what he/she wants so that I can rest? Certain destiny-changing miracles will not take place until you are ready to tell God, I will not let You go unless You bless me like Jacob did.

Ask your spouse to pray along with you whenever you seem to be getting weary in praying over a particular matter. If you are not married, look for a Christian, preferably of the same gender, who can pray with you, so the persons iron may sharpen yours (Proverbs 27:17).

If what you are asking for is the will of God and you don’t give up, your answer will come in due season.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 JULY 2022 MEMORIZE: He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shail suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Proverbs 29:1

OPEN HEAVEN 31 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING 2 SAMUEL 12:1-13

1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

2. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:

3. But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

4. And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

5. And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

6. And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

7. And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

8. And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

9. Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

10. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

11. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

12. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

13. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Many a time, we do things that are wrong without knowing it. We just act as we like, whereas we are hurting other people or exhibiting a bad attitude. Those who are wise listen when people correct them and take to correction where appropriate. Those who are foolish however make excuses and ignore the correction.

When we study the life of David and Saul, we will see the lot of the wise and the foolish ones. When Saul did wrong and Samuel corrected him, he made excuses and even tore Samuels garment in his refusal to take to correction in the presence of his subjects (1 Samuel 15:13-27).

For David on the other hand, when Prophet Nathan corrected him, he immediately became sober and did all that he could to right his wrong (2 Samuel 12:15 -18). At the end of the day, we see one of the reasons why God rejected Saul and loved David their attitude to correction.

When people tell you that you get angry easily and you say, No, I don’t get angry easily, it is just some useless people around me that get me angry, or that you are lazy and sleep too much, but you respond, The body is not wood; it needs rest once in a while, after all even Jesus slept while He was here on earth, or even that you talk too much and you say, Do you want me to become dumb? then you have a problem and you must attend to it immediately.

When God sends people to a person yet he or she keeps giving excuses, our memory verse for today says that the fellow will be suddenly destroyed and that destruction will be without remedy.

If you want to see an example of this, look at Saul. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 3:19 that God so honoured the word of Prophet Samuel that not a word of his fell to the ground without being fulfilled, but when Samuel was pleading on behalf of Saul, God told him to stop wasting his time as He had already found a replacement for him (1 Samuel 16:1).

That little behaviour that your spouse, boss, colleague, family members or neighbours have been correcting you about can either make or mar you; it depends on whether you take the correction or not. That little thing can bring irredeemable destruction if you are not careful. A word is enough for the wise.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 JULY 2022 KEY POINT

What are those things people have been telling you that you need to correct? Take the feedback today and begin to make the necessary corrections in line with Gods word..

OPEN HEAVEN 1 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE

Adversity may be a part of the system of this world, but my Daddy the Creator of the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1) is greater than every adversity. Adversities are seemingly insurmountable circumstances that are greater than the power of man.

They are mountains that hinder the progress of a person, a family or a group of people. Some adversities can be so great that the fellow involved would feel there is no way out. The Israelites faced this kind of adversity after they were delivered from slavery.

Pharaoh and his army were coming behind and the Red Sea was right in front of them. The Israelites were afraid because, obviously, there was no way out. Humanly speaking, it was impossible to surmount such a situation. Even Moses didn’t know what to do until he cried out to God.

My Daddy the Almighty God made a way where there was no way. For the first time in the history of man, a great body of water parted and the children of God walked through that sea to the other side.

In the name of Jesus, I pray the Almighty God will deliver this kind of victory into your hands this day. This kind of unprecedented and unbelievable victory can only be found in Jesus Christ. The devil may raise storms around you, but Jesus Christ gives absolute victory over every insurmountable situation.

Many years ago, during one of The Holy Ghost Congresses in Nigeria, a woman cried out for help, asking me to pray because she was barren and her in-laws were not allowing her to enjoy peace in her home. I prayed for her and forgot about it.

A year after this, I stood praying for people on a long line, and a woman stood before me. I asked her what she wanted, but she repeatedly said, Jesus! I was almost getting impatient. When I asked her again, she said Jesus, and explained to me that she was the woman I had prayed for a year before about barrenness. Right there before me, she was holding a child with her right hand and one with her left. May God give you this kind of victory today in Jesus name. God gives victory over adversities to His children.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 JULY 2022 MEMORIZE: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Romans 12:15

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING PSALMS 90:12

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Humans are social beings that love relationships. We love to celebrate achievements, events and joyful moments. However, its expedient that your celebration should be moderate and purposeful so that it wont glorify the devil.

First, the manner of dressing and food or drinks served at your celebrations must be such as to give glory to God. For example, if you or your guests appear in scanty or revealing clothes and you serve alcohol at the event, be ready to have the devil as the Chairman of the day.

Whenever I celebrate my birthdays, I usually have two goals in mind which are to give to others and also win souls for Christ. Thus, after food and drinks are served, I take a few minutes to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus because in actual fact, each birthday is a reminder that we are getting older and closer to the end.

You need to use every means to get the message of hope out and one of the best media is through your celebrations.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 JULY 2022 KEY POINT

Use your celebrations to propagate the gospel from now.

NOW WE THANK WE ALL OUR GOD

1. Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
in whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms
hath blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.

2. O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
to keep us in His grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
of this world and the next.

3. All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and Him who reigns
With them in highest heaven
the One Eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

42. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

44, And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits
burn with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

OPEN HEAVEN 29 JULY 2022 MEMORIZE: And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1

OPEN HEAVEN 29 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING LUKE 18:1-8

1. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2. Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

3. And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

4. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

5. Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

OPEN HEAVEN 29 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

The wicked judge never respected anyone. He never deferred to anyone. However, as this poor widow troubled him relentlessly with her cry for justice, we see that the judge who was wicked had to respond to her so that she could let him rest.

Many children of God give up on their prayers before God responds to them. If that woman had stopped knocking just at the point at which the judge was deciding to grant her request, she would not have had justice.

Many Christians were only one more prayer away when they gave up and lost their miracle. Sometimes you pray once and God will answer immediately, but at other times, you need to keep pressing in the spirit for your answer to come.

If you stop pressing at some point, the answer may not come. That is why the concluding part of John 16:24 says: “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

I know that sometimes God wants you to keep praying, not because He doesn’t want to answer, but because there is something He wants to perfect in you and that thing can only be completed when you press deeper into the spirit.

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:3-4 I can tell you for sure: if God had answered all my prayers the very first time I asked, I would not be as deeply involved with Him as I am today.

Prayer is more a blessing for us, than it is for God. You must always remember that prayer does not change who God is, prayer changes you. The more you pray and commit to prayer, the more strengthened you become as a Christian.

There may be things you want God to do for you; even if those things are yet to come, don’t ever give up praying. God is not reluctant to give you what you asked for, but with your constant prayer in faith, you are building a cloud of blessings that will soon break out upon you.

Until that cloud breaks, don’t stop praying. Until your joy is full, don’t stop knocking on heavens door. Keep pressing in the spirit until your answer comes.

OPEN HEAVEN 29 JULY 2022 KEY POINT

What are those things you have stopped praying for now simply because the answer didn’t come? List them out now and begin to include them in your daily prayers again.

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll, Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
