OPENING PRAYER: Father, help me to play my
role to ensure that only the righteous are in
authority.

BIBLE PASSAGE: Nehemiah 5:14-19.

[14] Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

[15] But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

[16] Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.

[17] Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.

[18] Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.

[19] Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

MEMORY VERSE: “When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice; but when the
wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Generally, politics
can be described as the methodology and activities associated with running a government, an organisation or a movement.

Politics is all about influence. It is this influence that further births positive or negative changes in the lives of the people. The involvement of Christians in politics is neither Christianity because it is the desire of God that believers take charge and have influence here on earth (Gen.1:28; Matt.5:13-16).

IV. TEXT REVIEW: Nehemiah 5:14-19.
Nehemiah was a true agent of change and
demonstrated the following six spheres of
commitments to the people as the Governor
of Judah. Neh.5:14.
(a) Commitment to transparent and accountable administration. Vs 14-15a.
(b) Commitment to the…..v15b.
(c) Commitment to the ……v16.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Generally, politics
can be described as the methodology and activities associated with running a government, an organisation or a movement.
Politics is all about influence. It is this influence that further births positive or negative changes in the lives of the people. The involvement of Christians in politics is neither Christianity because it is the desire of God that believers take charge and have influence here on earth (Gen.1:28; Matt.5:13-16).

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT POLITICS

Some Christians are of the opinion that, since our kingdom is not of this world, we do not have to be involved in any political activity in the world we presently live in (Jn.17:14).

This is not the whole truth but a misconception aimed at robbing us of our godly heritage of dominion (Ps.8:6; 1 Pet. 2:9; Rev.5:10).

Here are some reasons for the misconception or wrong notions about involvement of Christians in politics;
1. Politics is a dirty game and a worldly affair.
2. Political involvements will take one to hell.
3. All politicians are liars, corrupt and promiscuous
4. It is an opportunity to embezzle money or amass wealth unlawfully.
5. Most politicians are fetish or occultic.

WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE INVOLVED IN
POLITICS?

In order to disabuse our minds as Christians about our active involvement in politics, we need to consider the following reasons objectively:

1. It is the desire of God that believers take charge and have influence here on earth (Deut.28:13). We are to take the lead and allow kingdom values to shape our society (Matt.5:13-16).

2. The leaders we elect, or fail to elect have great influence on our freedom, well-being and the fulfilment of our God-given mandate. They can choose to protect our rights to worship and spread the gospel, or prevent us from exercising such rights (Esther 4:14; Dan.6:7).

3. Politics like other sectors of national developments (Health, Finance, etc.), should be explored to “teach all nations” in order to demonstrate the exemplary life and flavour of godliness (Dan.6:1-3; Matt.28:19-20).

4. The involvement of godly Christians in politics will reduce corruption, disorderliness, mischief and other socio-economic vices in the society (2 Chron.14:1-6; Prov.29:2).

5. To effect positive and lasting changes that will benefit the society (Gen.41:33-40; Prov.14:34).

CONCLUSION: God is still looking for the righteous few, in order to uplift our nations (Gen.18:32).

QUESTIONS
1. Mention four (4) misconceptions believers have about politics.
2. Why should Christians be involved in politics?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 JANUARY 2022 MEMORIZE: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 2 James 4:7

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 JANUARY 2022 BIBLE READING EPHESIANS 6:11-18

11, Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the flery darts of the wicked.

17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Adults Version: Open Heavens 30 January 2022

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

After I gave my life to Christ, I didn’t visit my hometown for thirteen years for fear of being killed by witches and wizards, until I got a revelation in Gods word that Jesus said all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. That was my deliverance.

Today, whenever I want to visit my hometown, I inform them months ahead so they can plan any of their gimmicks. By the time I get there to preach the gospel, they surrender to Jesus.

These days unfortunately, movies and series, especially the horror ones, have portrayed the devil as a very powerful being. This mindset has eroded his true state in the lives of many believers. The devil is neither Gods vice nor second-incommand!.

As a true child of God, you are more powerful than the enemy because the same power that raised Jesus from death is at work in you! You have the power to resist the devil because God has given you authority over him, his demons and their schemes.

The devil is not to be feared, tolerated, accommodated, served, loved, advertised or associated with; he is very cunning and will do all it takes to bring a believer down, therefore, you must always be alert and constantly resist him in your thoughts, words, dreams and even physically. You will overcome the enemy, in Jesus name. Amen.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 JANUARY 2022 PRAYER POINT

Father, please strengthen me to always resist the devil and overcome.

OPEN HEAVEN 30 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

The Christian life is so full of wonders that one of the earliest apostles marvelled at the manner of love God showered on us, making us His children (1 John 3:1).

Every genuine Christian has experienced the wonder of being adopted into the family of God as we see in Romans 8:15.

When we consider the benefits and privileges of being a child of the most powerful Personality in Heaven, on earth and anywhere at all, we will begin to appreciate the wonders of being a Christian.

The world cannot understand these benefits, yet they are real. Some religions of the world cannot come to terms with the fact that Christians call God their Father.

Some people were even upset with me for calling God my Daddy. However, God is my Daddy indeed. I told them if their relationship with God stops at calling Him Father, no problem, but He is my Daddy. Period.

However, one of the implications of this is that we should not trivialize the privilege or take it for granted. This takes us back to our discussion yesterday on the most important demand on a Christian life holiness.

The child of a lion is a lion. As Christians, we are called to be perfect as our Father in heaven, purifying ourselves always (Matthew 5:48, 1 John 3:3).

How do we purify ourselves? The Bible gives the answer: Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word (Psalms 119:9).

A pure and sinless life is very simple if we live our lives according to the word of God. I have taught it several times that holiness is simply obedience.

You can be considered holy or righteous when you obey God to the last letter of His instructions. God told Adam Don’t but he did and so became a sinner.

Thus, by the Spirit of Jesus Christ and our obedience to His word, we are holy and so fulfil the condition of being His children. It is important to note that these wonders are reserved strictly for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

Surrender your life to Him too today if you haven’t done so yet, and you will experience the wonders of being adopted into the family of God.

O WHAT A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL DAY

1 O what a wonderful, wonderful day
Day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away,
Jesus my Saviour I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend –
He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling,
With joy I am telling,
He made all the darkness depart!

CHORUS
Heaven came down and glory fill my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole; My Sins were washed away
And my night was tuned to day
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

2 Born of the Spirit with life from above
Into God’s family divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary’s love,
O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made
When as a Sinner I came,
Took of the offer
Of grace He did proffer –
He saved me, O praise His dear name!

3 Now l’ve a hope that will surely endure
After the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure,
There in those mansions sublime.
And it’s because of that wonderful day
When at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal And blessings supernal
From His precious hand I received.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 29 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

As humans, its not always easy to get along with everyone all the time. Sometimes, you could hurt someones feelings without intending to or you may be mean in order to prove a point.

Either way, you need to apologize when you’re wrong so that you can make peace with the other person and be a good example.

In todays Bible reading, King David realized his error when Prophet Nathan scolded him for his sin. He immediately apologized for committing adultery and murder. Although he reaped the consequences of his sins, he was still adjudged a man after Gods heart (Acts 13:22 ).

Therefore, apologizing for a wrongdoing is not a sign of weakness but strength. It shows that you have empathy, respect the other person and care about his/ her feelings.

It is important to apologize so as to build good relationships. lf someone is upset because of something you did, try to set things right. When you tease someone and he/ she doesn’t find it funny, apologize.

If you lose or break something that belonged to someone else, before you replace it, apologize. If you tell a lie, break a rule or failed to keep a promise, apologize.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 29 JANUARY 2022 KEY POINT

Instead of trying to justify a wrongdoing, just apologize and never repeat it.
