OPEN HEAVEN 14 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,” Ephesians 2:4 The above Bible passage says that one of the ways in which God measures

His wealth is in mercy. 1 Chronicles 16:34 says: “O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.” Now, even though God’s mercy is abundant and endures forever, He still reserves the right to decide who will partake of it and who will not.

Romans 9:15 says: “For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

This is because God is sovereign. Psalms 115:3 says He is in the heavens and does as He pleases. The question now is: How can I ensure that God shows me mercy?

How can I ensure that when He is choosing who He will show mercy to, He would choose me? There are two ways by which you could get Him to be merciful unto you. The first is by being merciful.

Matthew 5:7 says, Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. If you show mercy to others, you would obtain the same from God. Showing mercy to others goes beyond just giving money to the needy. You cannot say you have mercy on me when you see me going to hell and you keep quiet and let me go on.

If you have mercy on your colleagues, friends, family, and neighbours, you will preach the gospel to them to become born again. You will do everything within your power to ensure that they don’t end up in hell.

Secondly, to obtain God’s mercy, you would have to fear Him. Psalms 103:13 says, Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. If you don’t fear God, don’t expect His mercy.

If God discovers that a fellow does not want to offend Him, He will be merciful and help such a person avert trouble.

 

OPEN HEAVEN 14 APRIL 2022 KEY POINT: Prayer Points For Open Heavens 14 April 2022

Show mercy to others and fear God; He will show you mercy in return.

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS O GOD MY FATHER

1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with thee;
thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

CHORUS
Refrain: Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

sun, moon, and stars in their courses above join

with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS APRIL 2022 MEMORIZE: Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; 2 Corinthians 9:10

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING 1 KINGS 17:8-16

8. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

10. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.

12. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

13. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

14. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

15. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

16. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to choose between giving someone your last penny or using it for your personal feeding since you didn’t know where the next meal would come from?.

That was the experience of the widow of Zarephath in our Bible reading for today. With a son to feed and nobody to depend on, she must have been devastated when she realized that she had just one meal left to eat and die of hunger due to the famine.

However, God saw her plight and sent help in disguise. If a prophet of God asks some teens of today to give their last penny, they would quickly take to twitter and say all manner of things about him.

1 Kings 17:9 says: “Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.”

From the above passage, it is clear that the widow had a relationship with God to have received the instructions to feed Elijah from Him. Her obedience to the instruction given was the secret to her lasting miracle. Dear child, everything can turn around for your good if you obey Gods instructions.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 APRIL 2022 PRAYER POINT

Ask God to guide you on how to turn your meals into breakthroughs.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 APRIL 2022 HYMN

There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

OPEN HEAVEN 13 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

Our memory verse says that you cannot build a house except you obtain mercy from God, neither can there be safety unless He provides it. In other words, there is virtually nothing good a man can achieve without the mercy of God which provides the platform for His help.

I received a letter not long ago from someone who said he had started building a house in 1981 and up to the time he was writing the letter (over 30 years later), he hadn’t roofed it yet. It is only by Gods mercy that you can start and finish any project successfully.

Thus, it doesn’t matter how many bodyguards you have, unless God has mercy on you, your life is not protected. You can have bodyguards against hired assassins and armed robbers, but can you have bodyguards against sicknesses?.

Can you have bodyguards against spiritual attacks? Only Gods mercy can truly protect you.No matter how much you labour at anything, you cannot succeed without the mercy of God. It is Gods mercy that grants us the help we need.

Many years ago, the son of a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God had just finished his degree abroad and his father was rejoicing. He told his father something frightening that day; he said, Dad,

I know that you sent me abroad to study because you love me, but thank your God that I did not end up disgracing you because of the kind of friends I found myself amongst in school.

The father was doing the right thing by sending his child to a good school, but, had it not been for the mercy of God, he would have regretted it. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 says Paul may plant, Apollo may water, but it is God who gives increase.

From my personal experience I know you can get to the exam hall and just blank out. Farmers can have no harvest even though they did all that they should to get one.

A hardworking fisherman like Peter can fish all night and catch nothing (Luke 5:5). That is why wise people, when they need help, ask God for mercy. In Mark 10:47, Bartimaeus kept crying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Jesus had mercy on him.

In Luke 17:11-19, the ten lepers saw Jesus, stood far away and cried for mercy; they were cleansed. What is that problem you need a solution to? Change your prayer point today and just ask God for mercy.

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING EZEKIEL 22:28-31

28. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

29. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

30. And! sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

31. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Pillars connote dependability – ability to hold a building in place. In Gods house, pillars are those who bear the burdens of others.

Just as physical pillars hold a building in place, so do those who act as pillars maintain unity in the body of Christ. Caterpillars, on the other hand, are destructive.

In the Church, they are people who sow discord amongst brethren through gossip and strife. They also tell lies and bear tales that stir up quarrels among leaders and members of the body of Christ. Never join this group, instead, be a pillar.

Ezekiel 22:30 says: “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

God is seeking true pillars who will spend their time, energy and resources to bring the lost to the fold. He is seeking those who will prayerfully stand in the gap for others, speak words that will build them up and give full support to his/her spiritual leaders in various units of the Church.

We see clearly in Ezekiel 16:49 that one of the major problems that led to the destruction of Sodom is idleness. Idleness also caused David great sorrow. At a time when kings went to war, he stayed at home and this led to him committing adultery and murder.

These sins invoked Gods anger and a curse was placed upon him and his lineage (2 Samuel 11:1-27). Solomon also fell into the trap of idleness, which caused his heart to be turned away from God. After he had built the temple of God and a new palace, he had nothing else to do.

There were no wars to fight, no territories to conquer, and so he relaxed. He started marrying women he had no business with until he ended up with 700 wives and 300 concubines.

In his relaxed state, his wives began to turn him away from the Most High God, and before he knew it, he was already building temples for and sacrificing to strange gods. Solomon started with so much respect and honour for God that he gave the largest sacrifice in the Bible to the Lord.

This was a man who God appeared to twice, but idleness brought him to the point where he began to serve other gods. He displeased God greatly, and this led to him losing part of his fathers heritage (1 Kings 11:1-11). Jesus Christ said His father works and likewise Himself (John 5:17).

Who then do you want to emulate by being idle? Imagine if, in your house, everyone – including the father of the house helps out with chores, yet one of the children never works but loafs around the house every day. That child would be very annoying to the parents and his or her siblings.

Beloved, there are many souls to be saved out there (Matthew 9:37); are you working to reach them quickly? When you consider the story of the rich fool in Luke 12:16-20, you may think, What did this man do wrong? Is it wrong to work so hard and gather a large harvest? Why did God kill him? God took his life because he had decided that since he now had a large harvest, he was going to become idle.

Idle people are very dangerous to the Kingdom of God and the society. No matter how much you have achieved, still strive for more. There is a lot of work to be done in the Kingdom of God. Serve Him now that you have the privilege to do so (John 9:4).

OPEN HEAVEN 12 APRIL 2022 HYMN

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1. Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See his banner go.

CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus
Who is gone before.

2. At the name of Jesus,
Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian
soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and
doctrine, one in charity.

4. Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail.

5. Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your
voices in the triumph song;
Glory, praise, and
honour, unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
