OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 APRIL 2022 MEMORIZE: For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING JAMES 1:19-25

19. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24. For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

There are two classes of Bible users – the hearers only and the hearers + doers. You can only belong to one of them. Many young people spend time listening to audio/video messages, attend Church services and do intense personal Bible study. Although all these are very good, they are not the ultimate.

When you hear or read Scripture, it stays in your mind. If left there for a while without taking further steps, it will lose its meaning to you. If you desire that word to have meaningful impact on you, then, you must go the extra mile and translate it into actions.

Give valuable time to meditating on the word you have heard so that you will find it easy to obey. Also, when you ponder on Gods word, you are bound to have deeper revelations which would help you practice it. Bear in mind that God does not bless the hearer of the word, but those who hear and do the word.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 APRIL 2022 KEY

Become a doer of God’s word henceforth.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

CHORUS
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Ev’ry hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.

5. I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!

7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Happy Weekend Beloved, we’re excited to have you here again. Thank you for joining us in today’s Open Heavens Devotional.

Have you ever sought to really know the God you serve?, God is hidden in mysteries. But He is ready and willing to reveal himself to His children who are willing to seek him early.

To know God, you must make certain sacrifices as you diligently seek him. Find out more below.

May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened as you read through in Jesus name.

Don’t keep the word to yourself. Share this blessing with other believers by saving this website (rccgonline.org) and sharing the link by using the share button below. And don’t forget to go through the prayers and declarations of the day.

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today I receive a baptism of the Wisdom of God via the Word of God. Insights rain ceaselessly upon me and I know what to do at all time. Clarity is sure for me. I am as Jesus wherever I go. I know what to do, and how to do it well in Jesus name. Amen. Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN 8 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

In Philippians 3:7-10, Apostle Paul told us several things that he let go of, for just one single purpose: that he might know God.

When I was a younger Christian, whenever someone asked if I knew God, my answer was always a big Yes. However, something happened some years ago that made me change that answer from Yes to I am just beginning to know Him.

I have been born again for close to 50 years and up to now, I am still learning more and more about God. There are different levels of knowing God and you can only know Him to the extent of how much of Himself He reveals to you in line with how diligently you seek Him.

In Psalms 103:7 , the Bible says: “He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.”

How well do you want to know God? Are you willing to seek Him so diligently that He would reveal some of His secrets to you? John 15:15 says that God shares deep things with His friends. His friends are those who do His will (John 15:14).

His friends are those who are diligent about seeking Him. They seek Him so diligently that they are ready to let go of several pleasures just to know Him more. If fasting for only three days is too much a price to pay to know God more, then you are not seeking Him diligently.

I am talking about fasting and praying when you are not asking Him for anything other than, Lord, I just want to draw closer to you. I am talking about spending hours in personal fellowship.

I am talking about evangelising and doing Gods work as if you are being paid a huge salary for doing it. Those who seek God diligently always do so early (Proverbs 8:17). One thing that determines if you will discover God is how early you seek Him.

If you keep postponing your search for deeper things in God, you may never find Him. It is those that seek Him early who will find Him.

For them, they put everything else aside just to seek Him. Are you amongst those who are desperate to know God? If so, seek Him diligently. Seek Him early.

Father, please draw me closer to You; I just want to know You more.

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way,
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away,
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay,
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

24. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

25. He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

26. Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

27. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 7 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

In many countries, children of eighteen years and above are believed to be adults and are treated as such. They are given certain privileges and responsibilities to handle by virtue of the age they’ve attained.

We live in times when young people want to make it big without much stress, they look for money and fame through fraud, lottery, wishful thinking and other easy-to-get means.

Are you looking for a legitimate source of income apart from what parents or relatives give you? Go fishing! When you catch fish and sell them, you will make money. ‘Fish’ here refers to a means of livelihood which could come in the form of products to sell or services to be rendered.

This is the reason many secondary/ high schools and tertiary institutions have introduced entrepreneurship and vocational skills into their curriculum so that teenagers can be taught how to turn their passion and skills into profit-making ventures before or after they leave school saw a documentary about an African girl who uses coconut shells to produce accessories and interior decor items.

Another boy started recycling empty bottles and waste into good products. Take time to discover yourself and create a small business around what you love doing.

o’er the world’s tempestuous sea;
guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
for we have no help but Thee;
yet possessing every blessing,
if our God our Father be.

2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us:
all our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
lone and dreary, faint and weary,
through the desert Thou didst go.

3. Spirit of our God, descending,
fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
love with every passion blending,
pleasure that can never cloy:
thus provided, pardoned, guided,
nothing can our peace destroy.

OPEN HEAVEN 7 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

A man once had a tiger that he had trained not to attack humans. One day, his son was riding the tiger to the village when the tiger tripped on something and the boy fell. When the boy fell, he injured his hand and blood began to flow out from the wound.

The tiger, wanting to help his friend, licked the wound to clean it and tasted human blood for the first time. As soon as it tasted the blood, that thing within it that makes it a tiger arose and within minutes, he ate the boy up. The tiger then went on to the village, killing every human being it saw.

Many a time I see people who are managing their situation, living with a tiger that can kill them and their loved ones, yet are fine with it. I just hope that when they realise how dangerous what they are condoning is, it won’t be too late.

One of my sons came to me once, complaining of a neighbour of his who was a witchdoctor. I asked him to send her packing with prayers, but he responded that it wasn’t that serious.

After some time, I stopped seeing my son. The next time I saw him, his body was looking all battered. He explained that it was the witchdoctor who dealt with him.

His regular prayers were beginning to disturb her, so she told some of her clients who were policemen to accuse him falsely of robbery and then arrest him.

After many days of torture and mosquito bites in the cell, one of the policemen in the station said, This man does not seem like a criminal. He is always praying and singing praises; he is definitely innocent, so they released him. Then I asked, Will you send her packing now? He responded that he would send her packing immediately.

Your situation may be a sickness that you have been managing, or just some slight financial challenges which you have been living with. You had better send that demon packing before it destroys you.

Today, I want you to pray some dangerous prayers. I want you to send packing today everything in your life that you do not want there, before it destroys you.

If you haven’t eaten yet, I would advise that you fast for maybe a few days as you pray this prayer of deliverance and the Almighty God will deliver you completely, in Jesus name. look forward to hearing your testimony.

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 6 APRIL 2022 MEMORIZE: What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:4

OPEN HEAVEN 6 APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING LUKE 15:3-7

3. And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Good morning beloved, we’re excited to have you here again. Thank you for joining us in today’s Open Heavens Devotional.

Today we continue looking at the subject of backsliding. The Bible reveals to us that when we backslide, our shepherd (God) is unhappy.

Find out more in today’s Open Heaven devotional below.

May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened as you read through in Jesus name.

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today I am empowered to live a godly Christian life because I have the Holy Spirit in me and God has given me everything that pertains to life and godliness. I do not spend time struggling in the flesh. I ride on the wings of the spirit in Jesus name. Amen. Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN 6 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

One other major reason I am determined never to backslide is that I don’t want to cause God any heartache. In the Bible reading for today, the Lord asked if there was anyone who would not go after one lost sheep even if they still had a flock of ninety-nine in their care.

If we review this scenario described by our Lord Jesus a little more closely, we would realise that a shepherd would only know that one of the sheep is missing in the evening because a flock of a hundred sheep and that of ninety-nine sheep would look alike at a glance.

The shepherd would only get to know of the missing sheep when he counts them at night, just before he rests from the days work. However, upon discovering that one sheep is missing, he would immediately resume work and begin to search for it.

I don’t want to cause my Lord Jesus Christ any heartache; if anything at all, I want to bring Him joy. The story in our text tells us that, until He finds that missing sheep, the Shepherd would not rest.

Also, the fact that when He found the sheep, He came back rejoicing shows that when He was looking for the sheep, He was in sorrow. I don’t want my life to cause sorrow to the Almighty.

I don’t know about you, but I, Adeboye, I will only bring joy to the Lord and not sorrow. The story is even deeper than that. Luke 15:7 tells us that there is rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents.

You see, there are two opposite sides in the Spirit realm Light and darkness. Each time somebody gets born again, there is sorrow in hell because the devil has lost somebody, so the devil pursues that fellow with the intention of bringing him back into his company.

Each time a Christian backslides, there is rejoicing in the camp of the devil. Let me give you an illustration: If you used to be an unbeliever, constantly at the bar drinking with many friends, then got born again, your former drinking partners would begin to avoid you because your life would now become a challenge to them.

Just seeing you alone would make them feel condemned. Can you then imagine what would happen if one day they suddenly saw you back at the bar? They would shout for joy and drink more than they normally do that day.

Each time a Christian backslides, he or she would make the devil celebrate and bring displeasure to God. I pray you will never cause God any form of displeasure, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 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.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING 2 KINGS 6:24-30

24. And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

25. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.

26. And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27. And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28. And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30. And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

Once a baby is born into the world, he/she is automatically surrounded by many forces. However, the position of the parents in the spiritual realm will determine the type of forces surrounding the child.

For example, a family sold out to idolatry has automatically invited idols and evil forces to lord over their child while a solid Christian family will have the presence of the Holy Spirit surrounding their child Thus, if you are from an ungodly family, you already know the kind of forces surrounding you. However, if you have given your life to Jesus Christ, your ownership has been changed to the Kingdom of God.

You can invite God to fight your battles for you from now and claim your victory through the blood of Jesus. God wants you to become His battle axe and a terror to the kingdom of darkness, not the other way round.

I pray for you today that, just like Elijah could not be arrested by the King of Syria because he was surrounded by the host of Heaven, no force of darkness will be able to arrest you; day and night, the host of Heaven will surround you with fire and you will become untouchable by the enemy.
