OPENING PRAYER
Father, let there be light in all ramification of my life.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
Leader should ask members five (5) good reasons why The Lord is watching us.

BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 5:14-16

[14]Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

[15]Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Light is an important element created by God and it’s one of the essential in life. It was created at every beginning of the world. The Bible says in Genesis 1:2-3, that though darkness came forth first but this was not what God wanted in existence.

God did not allow this to exist, He then spoke what was in his mind and that was light, then light came into existence, till this presence moment this light never goes off.

Also, Jesus calls the believers in him “the light of the world” according to our today’s Bible text. The question is, are we really shinning the light in the dark world?

TEXT REVIEW: MATTHEW 5:14-16
i. We are the light of the world.
ii. We should let our light shine, so that our good works can be spread.

LESSON OUTLINE
THE CALLED OUT.
As we discussed above, God called forth the light we are enjoying today out of darkness. More so, 1Peter 2:9 tells us that God has called all Christians out of darkness into His marvelous light. The way God spoke and the light came to be. He has called us light, so we are to shine this light in the world.

SHINE THE LIGHT
Isaiah 60:1says ” Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee”. We are to arise to arise and shine forth the light that is already been deposited in us without any further delay. Because the more we hide or refuse to shine this light the more darkness progresses or expands.

WHERE SHOULD WE SHINE THE LIGHT?
1. In our place of work.
2. 2. In our business places.
3. 3. In our neighbourhood.
4. 4. In the entire world. Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-18
ACTIVITY: How do we shine the light into the world?

SUMMARY: We are the light of the world.

CONCLUSION: “LET THERE BE LIGHT” is a command not an advice. Also, this is a heart I deposited in you the day you accepted me as your Lord and Saviour. please don’t hide your light any longer.

ASSIGNMENT: Diligently carry out all the daily tasks outlined in the Golden diet below

PRAYER POINTS
1. Thank God who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light

2. Father, please give me the grace to shine anywhere I am.

3. Father, don’t let RCCG’s light ever go out.

5. Individual prayer.

GOLDEN DIET FOR THE WEEK:

MONDAY: Thank God ceaselessly today. 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

TUESDAY: Pray for the restoration of light in whose lives the lights have gone out Psalm 51:12

WEDNESDAY: Pray for grace and power to shine the light everywhere. Acts 1:8

OPENING PRAYER: Father, help me to always be decent and orderly in Jesus name.

MEMORY VERSE: “Let all things be done decently and in order. .” – 1Corinthains 14:40

BIBLE PASSAGE: TITUS 2:6-8

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

INTRODUCTION: Marriage is the legal relationship between a husband and his wife that should last for a life time (Genesis 2:21-23). The ceremony is conducted to establish a legal marriage is called ‘Wedding’.

How the wedding ceremony is conducted varies from culture to culture. However, there is a Christian culture (biblical practices common to Christianity) that intending couples and all believers should imbibe in other to be distinguished from worldly/ungodly practices.

Today, we can hardly differentiate between the wedding ceremony among the ungodly and those who claim to be believers because of the perceived freedom or creativity. Our focus, therefore, is to provide a clue to what a Christian wedding ceremony should look like.

TEXT REVIEW: Titus 2:6-8

Apostle Paul in this scripture was admonishing Titus (his disciple) on the instructions to give the young men of Crete that:
i. They should be sober minded. V6.
ii. In all things showing……V7a.

i. In doctrine showing..V7b.
ii. Their behavior should be devoid of condemnation. ……………..V8a.
iii. (So that) he that is…………….V8b.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. BASIC COMPONENTS
A. The Bible gives no specific pattern or other to define exactly what a Christian wedding ceremony should include. So:
i. It can be individually tailored.
ii.There is room for your creative touches.

B. However, it should:
i. include expressions of worship, reflections of joy, celebration, respect, dignity, and love (Philippians 4:4-5).

ii. Primarily be to give each guest a clear impression that you, as a couple, are making a solemn eternal covenant with each other before God.

iii. Be a testimony of your lives before God, demonstrating your Christian values (Philippians 4:8-9).

iv. Start with biblical premarital counselling with their pastor to prove their desire to glorify Christ through their wedding.

v. The wedding affirms before God and Friends and family that the couple’s desire is to live according to God plan for the family.

vi. Be a reflection of the couple’s commitment to bring glory to God. Every part of the the service, from the music to the vows to the message delivered by the officiating minister, should reflect that commitment.

C. The following must be noted:
i. Music: Music should be reverent and Christ-honouring, not worldly or frivolous.

ii. Vows: Vows should be taken with the couple’s full understanding that the words they speak to one another constitute a lifetime commitment and with the knowledge that what they promise to one another , they are promising to God.

iii. Message: The message delivered by the pastor should reflect these truths and commitment.

iv. Dressing: The bridal gown and bridesmaids’ dresses should be modest and appropriate for standing before God (Philippians 4:5). There is no room for low cut/revealing clothing in a Christ-honouring ceremony.

v. Reception: If there is a reception, it should be equally Christ honouring ceremony. Alcohol should not be permitted at a Christian wedding reception.

D. The primary difference between a Christian wedding and non-Christian wedding is Christ.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Students should discuss whether all love songs can be played in a Christian wedding ceremony.

2. BENEFITS OF THE CHRISTIAN WEDDING CEREMONY
Churches are special places and there are some things about a church wedding that you just cannot get anywhere else.

i. A church wedding will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage.

ii. God’s blessings is the main attraction for many couple’s, whatever their beliefs.

iii. Christian wedding establishes a spiritual foundation for the couple’s children.

iv. A Christian wedding-whether large or small-should signify that Christ will become the centre piece of the new home and that both partners resolve to become more like Christ so they can develop a strong and vibrant Christian marriage.

v. A Christian wedding that is supported by prayer and careful planning may result in young people seeing God’s divine plan for marriage and give married couples an opportunity to renew their vows as they watch the bride and groom pledge their solemn oaths to each other.

vi. A couple whose wedding is Christ honouring will remember the beauty and seriousness of the wedding for a lifetime and will find it a wonderful way to begin their life together.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Does a Christian wedding ceremony necessarily have be held at the church?

SUMMARY: Only a Christ-honouring wedding ceremony will enjoy its undeniable benefits.

CONCLUSION: When biblical principles are applied to a Christian wedding ceremony, those principles follow the couple throughout their lives and provide a strong and lasting foundation for life.

EVALUATION: What are the basic components of a Christian wedding ceremony?

CLOSING PRAYER: Father, please let my marriage forever bring glory to your name.

ASSIGNMENT: Highlight five lessons intending couples can learn from the wedding at cana of Galilee in John 2:1-11.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 JANUARY 2022 MEMORIZE: For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined In our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6

OPEN HEAVEN 23 JANUARY 2022 BIBLE READING ESTHER 2:5-9

5 Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

8 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

“Let there be light” could mean, “Let there be shining beauty”. Darkness is ugly, and beauty is neither shown nor appreciated in it.

For example, when darkness envelopes a beautiful woman, no one can see or appreciate her beauty. Conversely, when the light of God shines upon the same person, her beauty would be seen and appreciated by all.

In our Bible reading today, we read of God’s light shining upon the slave girl Esther who later became Queen. The secret is the light of God that shone upon her – nothing more.

Nobody appreciates beauty in darkness. For example, in the daytime, Jacob admired Rachel so much that he opted for her instead of her elder sister.

However, when darkness came and Leah was presented, he did not know who was who until the following morning (Genesis 29:16-19, 23-26).

An adage says that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. What many fail to know is that beauty is synonymous with light. It is she who has the light of God on her that looks beautiful.

There was a woman who was beautiful in the real sense of it. She was a woman beautiful not only to behold but also to be desired as a wife.

However, the husband turned her to a punching bag! She appeared repulsive to the husband, despite her beauty and accomplishments. The truth of the matter was that darkness so beclouded her beauty that her husband could not appreciate it.

The conclusion of the matter is found in our memory verse of today. Do you want all forms of darkness and evil to depart from you? Do you want the light of God to beam and radiate His glory all over you?.

Make up your mind to surrender all to the Light – Jesus Christ, and the light of God would shine upon you. Surrender all to the Father of lights today and every darkness beclouding your vision from seeing and experiencing His glory will flee, in the mighty name of Jesus.

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll, Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

Many Christians teenagers are too busy trying to be right instead of shining as light. Instead of influencing people around them through their lifestyle, they are busy arguing with unbelievers and backsliders on issues that have no value as regards eternity.

In Paul’s letter to Titus, he warned believers to stay away from pointless quarrelling and arguments over things written in the Scriptures.

This is the era where arguing Biblical principles and pulling men of God down trend fast on social media; you must never participate in it.

It’s not your duty to force people to obey the word of God, your responsibility is to preach the gospel in love, pray to God to open the eyes of their understanding and allow the Holy Spirit convict them of their sins.

Just as the world never accepted everything Jesus practiced or taught, understand that the world will never accept everything you do as a child of God.

Instead of trying to prove yourself right, make conscious efforts to follow Biblical principles and shine bright. When you let your light shine just as God commanded, the world will have no choice but to come to you!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 JANUARY 2022 PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me preach the word of God in the world and constantly shine wherever I find myself.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 JANUARY 2022 BIBLE READING JOHN 11:41-44

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

Let there be light could mean “Let darkness, which also represents death, disappear”.

Jesus the Light and the Life drives away darkness from anyone who identifies with Him, as found in our Bible reading today where we see the Light of God in action – driving away the darkness of death in the life Lazarus who had been dead for four days.

When death looms, darkness prevails; the only solution is to invite light to disperse darkness. Therefore, if any is being plagued with the fear of death, such a fellow should invite the Light.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. – (John 11:25).

The above Scripture confirms Matthew 4:16, which says, “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up”.

Death is the most devastating symbol of darkness. The Psalmist was right in describing it as “the valley of the shadow of death”.

The good news he announces is that the Lord is his Shepherd; therefore, he fears no evil. We must take a cue after the Psalmist if we want to overcome the darkness of death. Jesus Christ – the Light is the answer.

When the darkness of death came visiting the household of Lazarus, the Light was invited. Even when it seemed the Light was delayed, resulting in the death of Lazarus, the Light overtook death in spite of its running away with the life of Lazarus for four days.

One of my sons-in-the-Lord was running helter-skelter on being told that his days were up and that he should be prepared to die. He however, came to the Light and up till now, he is bouncing with life – darkness was driven away when we reported its activities to the Light.

Are you experiencing any form of darkness or death in any area of your life? Come to Jesus Christ the light, surrender all to Him and the darkness would leave you alone.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 JANUARY 2022 HYMN

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.

PRAYER FOR THE FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY (CHURCH).

Prophecy is a prediction of what will happen in the future, it is an inspired utterance from a prophet. Daddy G.O in his prophesies for the Church said; “All I have is good news”. This should encourage us to pray until we see the manifestations.
