Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Many people think that setting goals shows lack of trust in God but that is not true. Some teenagers say I will follow Gods leading for my life this year and by September, they’ll realize they’ve achieved nothing.

My schedule for any year is usually ready about 3 months before that year. I set personal goals for my family and ministry – the number of souls I want to win for God, what projects to embark on to advance Gods kingdom here on earth, activities that will connect my family members from time to time et cetera.

Setting goals and consulting with God shows that you trust Him and believe that He is able to lead you while you are moving forward. It is also important to design strategies on how to achieve them.

For instance, one of your academic goals may be to get straight As. You can then set a score to all your continuous assessment tests and exams, when to do group tutorials, how much time to spend reading in the library, relevant books you’ll need for additional research et cetera.

All these must be put into writing with a time frame to achieve them. Paste it where you can see every morning so you can follow through to achieve them.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 DECEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Setting goals is a way of planning. If you fail to plan, you have already planned to fail.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 DECEMBER 2021 HYMN

I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay,
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these
abound, my constant aim is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4. I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing shall resound
Lord lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And Heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.

LESSON FOURTEEN (14)
TOPIC: SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE (PART 1)

OPENING PRAYER: Father, open my eyes of
understanding to the full knowledge of You.

BIBLE PASSAGE: HEBREWS 5:12-6:2.
HEBREWS 5:12-14

[12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

[13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

[14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

HEBREWS 6:1-2

[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

[2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

MEMORY VERSE: “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by the reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil Hebrews 5:14.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Every healthy
Christian who is growing up properly will soon reach a stage when he is no longer satisfied with basics but needs more spiritual knowledge. What is the need for spiritual knowledge? How does one qualify for it? How can it be obtained? These and other questions will be answered in this series of lessons on “Spiritual Knowledge”.

TEXT REVIEW: Hebrews 5:12-6:2.

A. The writer of the book of Hebrews expressed grief on the spiritual state of some
believers he expects to have fully matured in
Christ because:
i. At the time were supposed to be teachers, they were still looking for someone to teach them about the Word of God.-V12a.
ii. They needed milk instead of taking the solid food of God’s Word.- V12b.

B. He further explains that:
i. ……… V13a.
ii. …….. V13b.
iii…. …..V14a.
iv. ……..V14b.

C. In Chapter 6, the writer further admonishes them:
i. To leave the foundational doctrine of Christ and move on to perfection. -V1a.
ii. …….V1b.
iii. ……..v2

LESSON OUTLINES
LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

A. New born babes in Christ are likened to
Children:
i. Children love milk and the Bible encourages ‘new born babes’ in the faith to desire the sincere ‘milk of the Word’ in order to grow (1 Pet.2:2).
ii. However, no healthy adult will like to exist merely on milk (Heb. 5:13) because:
a. A time comes when a Christian begins to mature and he is already well versed in the basic doctrines of Christianity (Heb.6:1-2)
b. Then he/she realises that there is
something more to be learnt, hidden knowledge, wisdom, understanding and certain things, which the Bible refers to as mysteries (Col 2:2-3; 1 Cor.2:7).

B. The Christian is born again but he finds it
difficult to explain how it happens.
i. He knows what has happened to him, when it happened but exactly how it happened he is unable to tell.
ii. He knows he used to enjoy sin but now he hates it; he used to appreciate sinners now he only pities them; he used to be restless and burdened with sorrow;
iii. He knows peace and joy. But how did it all happen? He would not hesitate to know the mystery of the new birth (John 3:8).

C. Next to the mystery of the new birth is the
mystery of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:32).
How many people make a Bride? How does
one head function as a husband to a body of
many parts? Then there is:
i. The mystery of the Gospel (Eph.6:19).
ii. The mystery of godliness (1 Tim. 3:16).
iii. The mystery of the kingdom of God (Mk.4:11).
iv. The mystery of future life (1 Cor. 15:51).
Why all these mysteries? What are they? Why are they hidden? These are some of the
quests for spiritual knowledge

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Teacher should ask students their growth experience since they
gave their lives to Christ.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: QUALIFICATIONS FOR
SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
A. Anyone who wants to know the mysteries
of God (Rev. 10:7) must satisfy certain conditions. He/she must:

i. Have the knowledge of Lord (Hos.6:3).
To know the mysteries of God, you must know Jesus Christ and be known by Him (Phil.3:10; John 10:14) because:
a. No one reveals his secret to a total stranger or mere acquaintance.
b. The more we know Christ, the more our knowledge of spiritual things will grow (2 Pet. 3:18). This is because not only will our ability to understand spiritual things increase Christ being our wisdom (1Cor.1:30).
c. Every mystery of God is hidden in Christ (Col. 1:17,19).
d. To know Christ fully is to know all there is to know.

ii. Do God’s will (Rom.12:2; Eph.6:6; 1John 2:17). The more you do His will the more of Himself He will reveal, because doing His will implies that you love Him (John 14:15).

iii. Absolutely surrender (Phil.3:7-10). No
one can truly do the will of the Lord if he
is not willing to surrender all.

B. If one possesses deep spiritual knowledge:
i. He will become meek (James 3:13), having discovered his own smallness in vast schemes of God.

ii. He will become more like Christ (Eph.4:13). The more you know of Christ the easier it will be for you to stop glorifying yourself and start glorifying Jesus Christ.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Students should mention other ways to effectively know God.

SUMMARY: It is God’s desire that every of His children grow into the state of maturity as it is a sign of progress in your walk with Him.

CONCLUSION: To know Jesus Christ is to
know the Truth, the Way and the Life (John 14:6). To know Jesus is to know all.

EVALUATION: State the need for spiritual
knowledge.

CLOSING PRAYER: Father, help me to grow
in knowing You deeper than before.

ASSIGNMENT: Students should mention five (5) signs of lack of spiritual growth in a
Christian.

LESSON FOURTEEN (14)
TOPIC: AND YOU SHALL BE SOUGHT OUT, A CITY NOT FORSAKEN

HOUSE FELLOWSHIP ANTHEM

So closely knitted into one,

5. Come, join this family of God,
So highly favoured by the Lord,
They have taken me into their arms
And `am so glad to be
A part of this great family.

OPENING PRAYER: Father, please where ever I am lost please find me out and establish me.

MEMORY VERSE: And they shall call them, The holy people The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. Isaiah 62:12

BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 62:1-12

[1] For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

[2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

[3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

[4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

[5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

[6] I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

[7] And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

[8] The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

[9] But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

[10] Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

[11] Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

[12] And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Jerusalem was supposed to be the place of which the nations would say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in His paths” (Isaiah 2:3).

But as at the time this prophesy was given by Isaiah, Jerusalem was no longer the city sought after as in the days of Solomon when the queen of Sheba came all the way to Jerusalem just to meet Solomon and also to see the great city.

A prophesy was later given in Isaiah 62:1-12 that, just as Jerusalem, having been despoiled of her beauty by her enemies, and for a long time was forsaken and unworthy to be called a city desired to be visited by men, her glory shall return and shall be an attraction to all lands, and the joy of the whole earths; no longer given up to the invasions of the enemy.

That is what the Lord promised, that she shall be called sought out, that is, a special object of God’s care and a city not forsaken, the very opposite of her former name which was “forsaken”.

TEXT REVIEW: Isaiah 62:1-12
i. Never will you be called “The forsaken city” or “The desolate land”
ii. The Savior is coming.

LESSON OUTLINE:
GOD NEVER ABANDONS HIS FAITHFUL SERVANTS
– Psalm 37:25 says “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

– Hebrews 13:5b says “for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. ”

– Joshua 1:5 “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as l was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. ”

– Psalm 37:28 “For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.”

Other Bible verses that talked about this are listed below:
– Genesis 28:15.
– Deuteronomy 31:6.
– 1 Chronicles 28:20.
– 1 Kings 8:57.
– Isaiah 7:14.
– Matthew 1:23.
– Matthew 28:20.
– Luke 22:3 1-32.

LESSON ACTIVITIES: Why was Jerusalem forsaken?

SUMMARY: You can never be forsaken.

CONCLUSION: God never forsake His people, He never leaves us to fight alone and He never abandons us. Isaiah 62:12 “And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.”

Here, the prophet is saying that when the end of this world age draws to a close, those who are strong in God’s truth will be sought out. Just as Paul was and even as Jesus was.

LESSON FOURTEEN (14)
TOPIC: SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE (PART 1)

MEMORY VERSE: “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by the reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil Hebrews 5:14.

BIBLE PASSAGE: HEBREWS 5:12-6:2.
HEBREWS 5:12-14

[12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

[13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

[14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

HEBREWS 6:1-2

[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

[2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Every healthy
Christian who is growing up properly will soon reach a stage when he is no longer satisfied with basics but needs more spiritual knowledge. What is the need for spiritual knowledge? How does one qualify for it? How can it be obtained? These and other questions will be answered in this series of lessons on “Spiritual Knowledge”.

OUTLINES
1. THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
2. QUALIFICATIONS FOR SPIRITUAL
KNOWLEDGE

THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

Children love milk and the Bible encourages
‘new born babes’ in the faith to desire the
sincere ‘milk of the Word’ in order to grow
(1 Pet.2:2).

However, no healthy adult will like to exist merely on milk (Heb.5:13). A time Comes when a Christian begins to mature and he is already well versed in the basic doctrines of Christianity (Heb.6:1-2).

Then he/she realises that there is something more to be learnt, hidden knowledge, wisdom, understanding and certain things, which the
Bible refers to as mysteries (Col 2:2-3; 1 Cor.2:7).

The Christian is born again but he finds it
difficult to explain how it happens. He knows
what has happened to him, when it happened but exactly how it happened he is unable to tell.

He knows he used to enjoy sin but now he hates it; he used to appreciate sinners now he only pities them; he used to be restless and burdened with sorrow; now he knows peace and joy.

But how did it all happen? He would not hesitate to know the mystery of the new birth, (John 3:8). Next to the mystery of the new birth is the mystery of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:32).

How many people make a Bride? How does
one head function as a husband to a body of
many parts? Then there is the mystery of the
Gospel (Eph.6:19); the mystery of godliness
(1Tim.3:16), the mystery of the kingdom of
God (Mk.4:11) and the mystery of future
(1Cor.15:51).

Why all these mysteries? What are they? Why are they hidden? These are some of the quests for spiritual knowledge.

FOR SPIRITUAL QUALIFICATIONS
KNOWLEDGE

Anyone who wants to know the mysteries of
God (Rev.10:7) must satisfy certain conditions. Basic to all other conditions is the
knowledge of Lord Himself (Hos.6:3).

To know the mysteries of God, you must know Jesus Christ and be known by Him (Phil.3:10; John 10:14). No one reveals his secret to a total stranger or mere acquaintance. The more we know Christ, the more our knowledge of spiritual
things will grow (2 Pet.3:18).

This is because not only will our ability to understand spiritual things increase, Christ being our wisdom (1 Cor.1:30), but every mystery of God is hidden in Christ (Col.1:17, 19). To know Christ fully is to know all there is to know.

The second qualification for spiritual knowledge is to do God’s will (Rom.12:2; Eph.6:6; 1John 2:17). The more you do His will, the more of Himself He will reveal, because doing His will implies that you love Him (John 14:15).

Absolute surrender is a third qualification for
those who want to know the mysteries God (Phil.3:7-10). No one can truly do the will of the Lord if he is not willing to surrender all.

Finally, if one possesses deep spiritual
knowledge, he will become meek (James
3:13), having discovered his own smallness
in vast schemes of God.

He will become more like Christ (Eph.4:13). The more you know of Christ the easier it will be for you to stop glorifying yourself and start glorifying Jesus Christ.

CONCLUSION: To know Jesus Christ is to
know the Truth, the Way and the Life (John 14:6). To know Jesus is to know all.

QUESTIONS
1. Why do believers need spiritual knowledge?
2. Mention the qualifications for spiritual knowledge.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psalms 126:1

OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING EZRA 9:5-9

5. And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,

6. And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

7. Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

8. And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

9. For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Restoration presupposes that something is missing or a loss has occurred, usually that of something good – whether spiritual or physical. There are some people in the Church today who have backslidden and need divine restoration.

The danger in backsliding is that the fellow, more often than not, may be reluctant to leave his sinful ways (Proverbs 14:14) and might have been given over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28).

If you have backslidden, I pray that you would retrace your steps today, in Jesus name. When a fellow loses his salvation, so many unpleasant things happen.

As in the case of Ezra and his people in todays Bible reading, there was a corruption of virtues.What then should a spiritually backslidden fellow or nation do to be restored?

Like Ezra prayed penitently on behalf of his nation in our Bible reading today, a backslider too must be penitent and humble before God.

Psalm 51:17 says: “a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”

Paul also said in 2 Corinthians 7:10: “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”

In other words, when you are so sorrowful about your sins that you confess and forsake them, you experience restoration (Proverbs 28:13).

When you repent, you are making a complete U-turn from your trespasses. Ezra warned the people in captivity never to return to the sins that brought them into that state in the first place.

He instructed them to stop the pollution of inter-faith marriage too (Ezra 9:12). This is a very important lesson to us as end time believers.

We must not conform to this world (Romans 12:1-2), but rather we must come out of the sinful environment, be steadfast, and separated unto God (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

When we obey Gods word, our restoration shall be complete and permanent. Have you suffered spiritual, physical, material, or any other kind of loss? You can experience divine restoration if only you would repent today and return to the Lord. I pray that the Almighty God will restore unto you everything you have lost, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 DECEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please restore to me all that I have lost, in the mighty name of Jesus.

19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

21. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.

23. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24, Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Every child of God must welcome change as this is the only avenue for growth. You shouldn’t expect a different result while doing things the old way.

Many people want a new level but want to keep using old strategies: some are slow to accept and adapt to new ways of doing things. If you want to grow in your walk with God, you must be ready to change from your old self to a new you.

Whenever I hear a fellow defend his/her bad attitude, I wonder if the person truly wants to make heaven. Some will say this is who I am, I don’t pretend.

See, God loves you and accepts you the way you are but He may never use you in your present state. Rather, He would carry out the work of transformation and prune you of every dead work in order to make you fit for His use.

So, if you remain the same way you were many years after accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour, its either you did not allow the Holy Spirit to work on you or you don’t like change.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 DECEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

The only constant thing in life is change.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 DECEMBER 2021 HYMN

ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

1. All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

CHORUS:
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.

2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

3. All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
