Thanksgiving should be a lifestyle for believers. All through bible verses, we see how God’s servants lavishly sing praises to Him and tell of His wondrous works.

Thanksgiving is paramount Ingratitude is sin You must remind yourself of the goodness of God and give Him thanks. Ingratitude is sin. First because this is His will for you and secondly because it will help you stay hopeful, thankful and better positioned for other miracles.

Thanksgiving is covered in numerous bible verses. However we have handpicked a few to share with you. Do not limit yourself to them.

In the past Open Heavens precisely 17th and 18th July, we were taught extensively on the importance of thanksgiving and showing gratitude to God.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10)

Someone once said “When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse in inevitable.” This is the case with many teenagers who misuse their lives by drinking, smoking, partying and doing all sorts of things because they don’t even know God’s purpose for them.

God created you for a good reason as stated in the passage above. Most importantly, He created you to bring glory to Him, so don’t waste your life getting involved in vices.

You can live a purposeful life by identifying what makes you happy and using it to impact other people significantly. For instance, as a caregiver, I love to cater to peoples needs and make them comfortable everywhere I am; this is why I don’t joke with peoples welfare in terms of attending to their basic needs.

Dear child, God has called you to a life of purpose, which is to do good works and He has gifted you with all you need to accomplish that purpose. Find it and work on it.

WHEN UPON LIFE’S BILLOWS YOU ARE
TEMPEST-TOSSED

1. When upon life’s billows
you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged,
thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.

CHORUS
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your blessings,
see what God hath done;
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
see what God hath done.

2. Are you ever burdened
with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing
as the days go by.

3. When you look at others
with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised
you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings,
money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven,
nor your home on high.

4. So, amid the conflict,
whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged,
God is over all;
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
to your journey’s end.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING GALATIANS 3:21-26

21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a

law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

In Ephesians 5:1, the Bible says: “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.” Anyone who claims to be a child of God must also ensure that he or she behaves like God. If a child claims to belong to a father and he is loyal to another father, that child would be deemed a bastard.

This means that if you claim to be a child of God, you may need to check where you really stand. 1 John 3:9. says those who are born of God do not sin.

Are you still sinning and feeling it is normal? A true child of God cannot consider sin to be normal. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:16 “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”

What is this fruit? It is the fruit that proves to everyone who meets you that you have the Spirit of God living in you the fruit of the Spirit. What fruits do you bear?

Based on the fruits that you bear, whose child can your colleagues, family members and neighbours say that you are? Do your colleagues bring offers to you to cheat your organisation because they know you will consent to them? If yes, you are not bearing fruits for God but for the devil.

Do you still repay evil for evil? That is not the character of God but that of the devil. You need to be clear whose child you are so that you don’t fall into the category of a bastard.

If you are a child of the devil, well then, why claim to be a child of God? Why join children of God to suffer your stomach when it is time to fast? Why not just go ahead and live for the devil all the way so when he is to be sent to the lake of fire you’ll go along with him?.

However, if you claim to really be a child of God, then your character should resemble that of Christ and everyone around you should testify that you resemble your Father in heaven.

On the last day, Jesus will sift the shaft away from the wheat. He will separate the bastards from His real children. This is because, on the last day, He will tell some people I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity (Luke 13:27). If you are indeed a child of God, you will be living a holy life.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 JULY 2022 REFLECTION

Take a moment to inspect your life right now. In what areas have you not been behaving like God? Repent and start to behave like your Father.

Hear me, and from Thy dwelling place
Pour down the riches of Thy grace;

CHORUS:
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
Oh make me love Thee more and more.

2. Jesus, too late I Thee have sought;
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how extol Thy matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of Thy name?

3. Jesus, what didst Thou find in me,
That Thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that Thou hast brought
So far exceeding hope or thought!

4. Jesus, of Thee shall be my song,
To Thee my heart and soul belong;
All that I have or am is Thine,
And Thou, blest Saviour, Thou art mine.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Many years ago, when I just became born again and began to seriously serve the Lord, the message of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was preached often. It was so rampant that we had to beg University students to continue their education; after all, Jesus said Occupy till I come (Luke 19:13).

The Yoruba Christians had a common greeting amongst themselves that says Eku afojusona ipada Jesu Christi meaning Well done as you look forward to the return of Jesus Christ.

Today, however, there are very few messages that remind people of the Lord’s return. People pleasing sermons have taken over the pulpit. You would hardly see many Christians living in expectation of the Lords return.

A man who is preparing for the Lords return will never maltreat his wife. A wife who knows the Lord will return suddenly will respect her husband. An employee who is expecting the Lords return will not cheat his or her employer.

A preacher who is preparing for the Lords return will not withhold the truth from the people of God in his congregation. Every child of God who is truly serious about his walk with the Lord will avoid anything and everything that could hold him or her back from going with the Lord.

Whether we like it or not, the Lord will return. If you are a minister of God, you have the responsibility to keep warning Gods sheep, whom He has placed in your care, to keep watching for the return of the Lord. If you, as a minister, are not preparing, it will be difficult for your flock to prepare.

There has never been a time when the message of the Lords return is more needful. The world is in serious chaos, yet, millions of Gods children are sleeping.

In any case, Jesus Christ already spoke about what is happening in the world today: that many will sleep (Matthew 13:28). It is my prayer that you will not sleep the sleep of death in Jesus name.

On the last day, only the faithful of God will be raptured. No matter how deep the world sleeps, Jesus Christ will still return. Therefore, you had better stop playing around and begin to live holy.

I have done my duty by telling you the truth, God will not hold me responsible for not telling you. Where you will end up is now left to you.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 JULY 2022 PRAYER POINT

Heavenly Father, please help me not to sleep the sleep of death. Keep me awake to watch and pray until You return.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS JULY 2022 MESSAGE

Hero worship is idolizing someone. Unfortunately, this happens in Christendom today where a congregation reverence the ‘man of God’ to the point of doing things against the Bible just because he said so.

Don’t get me wrong, it is good to admire a public figure or a man of God and even to honour the person, but there will be a problem when you give them the glory or honour that is meant for God alone.

Worse still is if you disobey God to obey them. God is very jealous and never likes to share His glory with anyone. As a matter of fact, every Christian leader is supposed to point you to Jesus Christ and not himself.

If you’re in a Church where the Pastor keeps talking about how you should reverence him or give him gifts without any emphasis on God, if all he preaches about is sowing seeds at the altar to bless the man of God rather than giving to the poor as Jesus commanded, then you need to be careful.

No matter how anointed a preacher is, it is wrong to idolize him. I often tell my congregation that they should crosscheck every teaching with the Bible and whenever they find that I am no longer preaching the truth, they should discontinue from worshipping in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
