OPEN HEAVEN 5 MAY 2022 MEMORIZE: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:19

OPEN HEAVEN 5 MAY 2022 BIBLE READING ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12

9. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Good morning beloved, thank you for joining us today. 

Do you know that there is power in numerical strength?

God commanded that we be fruitful and multiply because most times, more people are better than few. What other blessings are there in numbers?

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today that I am a peculiar treasure unto God and He has separated and ordained me to showcase the beauty of His splendour. I am a solution, a blessing, and an answer from God! I was born for such a time as this to be a blessing to millions. I am an extension of God in the earth; anyone who encounters me has met the Father. I am not of this world, I hail from God in Jesus name. Amen Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN 5 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

There is power in numbers. By Gods standard and according to todays Bible reading, two individuals have an advantage over one. We also see this in our memory verse today, where Jesus told us (His followers) that when as little as just two of us come together to ask God for something, He will perform it (Matthew 18:19).

This shows us that the Lord wants us to be united as He assures us that whatever we ask of Him in agreement shall be done We all need partners to work with for success in our Christian race. God provided a partner for Moses in the person of Aaron his brother (Exodus 4:10-17).

Hur, another minister under Moses, aided him in his intercessory prayer for Israels victory in their war with the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8-13).

Some Christians are ignorant of the spiritual aid they can get from their fellow believers. During a crisis, we need partners, as in the case of Davids encounter with a descendant of giants.

It was Abishai Davids aide, who killed the giant that would have slain David. No one knows the rank of Abishai in the army, yet he was Davids rescuer on that terrible day of the battle (2 Samuel 21:15-17).

In the Bible reading of today, the word of God expressly tells us the benefits of the numerical strength of a people. This is why always emphasize the numerical growth of the Church.

The benefits of the numerical strength of the Church cannot be overemphasized. A project is more easily accomplished by 200 people than with just 20.

This also reveals the benefit of marriage. A lot of blessings accrue to holy matrimony and this is why the Bible says two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9).

Another major benefit of coming together as Christians is the privilege to enjoy the presence of the Lord. Jesus Christ promised in Matthew 18:20 that wherever two or three persons are gathered in His name, He will fellowship with them.

Beloved, let us endeavour to encourage communal Christian living and mutual support the benefits are indeed numerous (Psalms 133:1-2).

OPEN HEAVEN 5 MAY 2022 KEY POINT

The Church should encourage corporate social responsibility that enhances unity and power.

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.

REFRAIN:
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 FOR TEENS MAY 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 4 MAY 2022 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 1:10

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

It won’t hurt is one of the statements enslaving many teenagers and youths today. When the devil, society and peers want to lure you into sin, they try to convince you that there is no consequence attached, then, you begin to tread the path of experimentation that would hurt in the long run.

When a boy or girl asks you to pleasure him/her through kissing, smooching, petting or sex, you’re not to be nice to such a person; rather, you are to obey God.

Some will say they can control themselves not to allow kissing to lead to sex, forgetting that they cannot outsmart the devil who has been around for thousands of years before they were born. He is the most patient creature and is never in a hurry to get his prey.

He usually takes his time to plan and strategize. This is why the Bible warns in 1 Corinthians 10:12 that: Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Don’t be deceived my child, every act against Gods command will hurt you in the end. The smart thing to do is flee!

OPEN HEAVEN 4 MAY 2022 MEMORIZE: Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Isaiah 58:3

OPEN HEAVEN 4 MAY 2022 BIBLE READING ISAIAH 58:1-12

1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice

like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins,

2. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

3. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

4. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

5. Is it such a fast that | have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.

9. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here | am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

11. And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

12. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Good morning beloved, thank you for joining us today. 

Do you know that there is a kind of fasting that pleases God and a kind that doesn’t?
Fasting is effective when done the right way and the Bible guides us to know what that right way is.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

The first thing to note when you want to embark on a fast is that the devil will try to stop you. He knows that the moment you start fasting, you would become too strong for him to manipulate. Therefore, he would use every means at his disposal to stop you, so get ready to ensure that he fails.

On a regular day when you have not decided to fast, you could find yourself staying without food until much later in the day, sometimes until evening without feeling hunger pangs; however, the moment you decide to fast, you would wake up hungry.

Ignore the hunger and stay committed to your decision to fast.Another trick the devil uses is to ensure that your nose picks up the aroma of food wherever it is cooked or served around you.

You would find yourself noticing how big the piece of chicken on your colleagues plate is or hear someone talking about how good the food in the restaurant next door is.

Don’t take these thoughts of food lightly; they are tactics of the devil to stop you from fasting, so you must be violent about blocking them from your mind. Give them no room at all.

Leave that place where the food is being served or talked about; if you cannot, then occupy your mind with the word of God immediately.

People have asked me severally, How are you able to fast for forty days and nights and sometimes even longer? The answer is simple: when I decide to fast, I go to my calendar, count the number of days I want to fast for, then mark the starting and ending dates of the fast.

After this, I say to my stomach, As from this date, there will be no more food for you until so and so date. If I begin to feel hungry when the fast starts, I know the devil is trying to get me to break it, so I take that as a reminder that it is time to pray.

Thus, whenever I feel an urge to eat, I take it as the time to pray and before I know it, the hunger would have gone. Lastly, when you fast, talk less to other people and more to God.

During a fast, when you talk to people, your strength diminishes, but when you talk to God, it increases. Reduce physical activities as much as you can while you increase spiritual ones. The time you would have spent cooking or eating can then be used to study your Bible and/or pray.

This is also the time to increase your giving to the needy around you, as we read in our Bible text today. Also, note that the moment you boast about your fast, it becomes useless (Matthew 6:16-18).

OPEN HEAVEN 4 MAY 2022 KEY POINT

Be violent about blocking everything the devil uses to discourage you from fasting.

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 FOR TEENS 3 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

Any time I have the opportunity to teach children about the person of the Holy Spirit, a question always pops up which is: Mummy, was the Holy Spirit present before the day of Pentecost? and I always answer with Yes.

He has been before the creation of the universe. The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity and He works hand in hand with God and Jesus Christ.

In Genesis 1:1-31, He was instrumental to the creation of the world. Amidst the darkness, He moved and darkness became light.
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit acted as a conscience, leading people to know the difference between right and wrong.

It is the same experience when you are about to do something wrong; He instructs you not to or suggests the right thing to do, but He won’t force or struggle with you (Genesis 6:1-3).

For instance, Samson experienced the move of the Holy Spirit often but refused to obey His instructions. Gradually, the Holy Spirit left him and he lost his power (Judges 16:4-21).

If you can submit yourself to the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will never make any regrettable mistake in life.

And all the saints above
to all below reply,
In strains of endless love,

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2022 MEMORIZE: And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 1 Corinthians 9:25

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2022 BIBLE READING 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24-27

24. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26, I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

Fasting may seem difficult for many people, but there are many benefits therein, if only you can control your belly. Firstly, fasting is a means of keeping your flesh under control.

The fellow who fasts often, accompanying it with Bible study and prayer, will find it easier to live holy. If you check yourself and see that you are beginning to entertain lust once in a while, that means sin is beginning to look enticing to you; declare a fast for yourself.

As you fast, your spirit will gain better control of your flesh and then the lust will die The reason many people have fallen from grace is that they do not fast often.

I have heard some say that Jesus has finished all, fasting inclusive, on the cross. How about Paul the Apostle who wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:27 that he fasted often? He was the same one who said in 1 Corinthians 9:27 that he put his body under subjection.

You want your body to remain under the control of the Holy Spirit? Then you must fast often. Galatians 5:16 says the only way to not fulfil the lusts of the flesh is to walk in the Spirit and that can only happen through fasting.

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16” When you fast, your appetite is under control and the ability to control your appetite is a major factor in determining how much dominion you can have in this world.

In Genesis 25:29-34, Esau could not control his appetite and as a result, he lost his birthright. While Esau was very desperate and willing to exchange his birthright for some food, Jacob recognised that it was a day for him to fast.

He gave up his pottage to Esau and even added bread to it. When you have no control over your belly, you are sacrificing your dominion on the altar of food.

Many people are not fulfilling their destinies because they don’t fast. Commit to subduing the flesh today through regular fasting and you will live victoriously in the Holy Spirit.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2022 HYMN

NEARER, MY GOD

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee

2. Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!

3. There let the way appear,
steps unto heaven;
all that Thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!

4. Then with my waking thoughts
bright with Thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!
