OPEN HEAVEN 4 DECEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever, Psalms 125:1

OPEN HEAVEN 4 DECEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING MARK 11:12-14

12. And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

MARK 11:20-24

20. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

At the opening of the story in todays Bible reading, the Lord Jesus saw a fig tree that, though blossoming, had no fruit. The Lord therefore decided to teach His disciples two major lessons from it.

The first is the danger of fruitlessness even when the grace of God is upon our lives. The fig was leafy and green a sign that it had potential to bear fruit, though it was not bearing any.

Thus, Jesus delivered judgment upon it immediately. The second lesson Jesus taught His disciples on that day is on faith, because He decreed that the fig tree should dry up and it came to pass immediately.

Jesus words in Mark 11:22 provide the foundation for our major lesson today. He said to His disciples Have faith in God. Whatever we desire as children of God, we should put it forward to the Lord in prayer and we shall receive it.

You may wonder then why He asked in Luke 18:8: “..Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” The above is where the challenge lies for many believers who are yet to receive answers to their requests from God.

The only way such people can get what they want is by exercising faith in God. Beloved, take note of the words of Jesus Christ in todays reading which says ..and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

It is one thing to pray, it is another thing to actually believe that God will do what we have asked for.

The story is told of a priest who called for prayers because there had been drought in the land. After the congregation had gathered for prayers, the priest looked around and asked Brethren, are you not ready to pray? The parishioners replied How do you mean? That is what we have come to do.

He asked again What have you come to do? And they chorused To pray for rain. Then he asked Where are your umbrellas and raincoats if indeed you believe God will answer your prayers? The parishioners faith was stirred up so they went to fetch their umbrellas and raincoats.

God honoured their faith and gave them rain. What a lesson! Beloved, you must have faith in God for Him to bless you.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 DECEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Increase my faith today, Lord I pray, in Jesus’ name.

O LORD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1. O Lord, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:

2. Under the shadow of your throne,
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends
the night before the rising sun.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 DECEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Proverbs 23:2

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 DECEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 23:6-8

6. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

7. For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

An area that shows whether a child has good home training is his disposition towards food particularly in public. For instance, any fellow who eats huge chunks or morsels of food lacks food etiquette.

When you visit a family and they ask if you would eat, your answer should be No. Anyone who really wants to entertain you, will offer you a cup of water and refreshments or snacks first before asking questions.

When you are offered a meal, endeavour to thank the giver and other adults in the house after the meal. Note that it is bad to chew loudly when you eat.

Always chew with your mouth closed and avoid belching with an open mouth. Also, never talk with your mouth full. If you have to stay on a queue to be served at a social function, avoid rushing even if you’re famished.

Some behaviours you don’t consider important may hinder unbelievers from accepting Jesus. Besides, it is important that you act like the royalty you are.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 DECEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Let people see Christ even in the way you eat.

LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU

1. While passing through this world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.

CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.

2. Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?

3. What joy ‘twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you.

4. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 DECEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. Psalms 34:5

OPEN HEAVEN 3 DECEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING PSALMS 121:1-8

1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Imagine how a wealthy man who is willing to do anything for his wife would feel if she were to go to one of their tenants a bachelor well-known for his philandering ways, to beg for bread.

This analogy, as apt as it may seem, does not even come close to describing how horrible it is when Christians seek help from sources other than God.

When humans look away from God and begin to consider lesser beings, including the devil, for help, that is idolatry.

Sadly, what many people do not know is that lasting help can only come from God and not from such beings (Zechariah 10:1-2).

Our only true source of help is the Almighty God, with whom there is no impossibility (Luke 1:37). No wonder the Psalmist says in Psalms 121:1-2 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”

In 2 Kings 6:27, a woman had sought help from the king during a siege against Samaria. Thank God the king was wise enough to know he could do nothing of himself. His sincere statement shows the true vanity in seeking help from any source other than God.

God, on the other hand, promised His children in Isaiah 41:9-10: “..Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Beloved, examine yourself: from whom are you seeking help? You are making a great mistake if it is not the Almighty God. I am encouraging you to have complete faith in God for that help you urgently need; He will not fail you.

Our memory verse today gives us this assurance. You too will testify from today, in the mighty name of Jesus. All you need is to be sure you have a Father-child relationship with the Almighty God and leave the rest to Him-The Lord is your only true source of help.

Cry to Him today. If you are yet to be born again, repent of your sins and confess them to the Lord. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ and then cry out to Him for whatever help you need. He will surely help you.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 DECEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please send Your help to me today, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

For many years, we drove through the Lagos-lbadan expressway without knowing our camp ground was there.

One day, seven pastors teamed up with me to pray. We cried to God to give us a camp ground as the church Headquarters had become too small for our convention.

The Lord led us to the express road and said, That is your camp, but it will become a city. Today, everyone is trying to establish a camp ground along the same expressway.

To the physical eyes, that promise seemed a mirage but we started running with the vision as my family and I moved into the camp which at the time, was a hideout for armed robbers and dangerous snakes.

God has expanded the vision and He is not through with us yet. My child, just as the camp ground was a hidden treasure, there are hidden treasures in and around you. There are good friends around you.

Your eyes just need to be opened to see them and utilize them to your advantage. May the hidden treasures around you become visible to you so you can enjoy heavenly blessings on earth in Jesus name.

Oh, that today they might fall,

If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 DECEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 DECEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING 1 SAMUEL 17:37-40

37. David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

38. And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.

39. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

40. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

An adage says: It’s what a bird eats that enables it fly high. As a child of God, its what you feed on that will determine how high you fly. This implies that your level of preparedness will determine your level of victory.

David was a young shepherd boy who moved around with his sling and stones. He became so attached and daily used them till they became weapons with which he killed both a lion and bear. No wonder he defeated Goliath using them.

King Saul had earlier proposed a different armour which looked sophisticated and perfect to human eyes but David refused saying, I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them.” (1 Samuel 17:39).

Life is a constant battle, some people win while some others lose because of their choice of armour. In our case, Jesus is the surest weapon against the enemy.

Are you or a family member passing through a difficult time and someone is suggesting that you or your parent consult a witch doctor or use other means? They are only fooling you.

You cannot fight Satan using his methods. Revelation 12:11 says and they overcame him by the blood of Jesus. This armour can never fail you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 DECEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Accept Jesus into your life and invite Him to fight all your battles for you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 DECEMBER 2021 HYMN

IN CHRIST ALONE

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here, in the power of Christ, I stand.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Genesis 3:10 says that after the devil had deceived Adam and Eve, they suffered from shame. They were ashamed because the glory of the Lord had departed from them.

Thus, we see that it was disobedience that brought about shame upon the first couple. God had earlier warned them against eating the forbidden fruit, but they eventually did.

Disobedience to Gods word brings untold shame and agony. To avoid or remove shame, we must return to the word of God and live according to its dictates, as we see in todays memory verse.

Our Scripture reading says those who walk in the law of the Lord are blessed because they are undefiled. It goes further to establish the blessedness of the keepers of the testimonies of the Lord and those who seek Him with their whole heart.

Why are they blessed? They are blessed because those iniquities that bring about shame are kept away from them through their obedience. It is sad that today when Pastors teach on obedience, some people shun it because according to them, we are in the grace dispensation and not that of the law.

These people forget that we cannot be in sin and expect grace to abound (Romans 6:1-2).

Psalm 119:9, 11 also says: “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word… Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

Proverbs 3:35 says the wise shall inherit glory but shame shall be the promotion of fools. The word fools here refers to people who act as though there is no God (Psalms 53:1).

When a fellow behaves as if his or her wickedness shall not be brought to book, the person is indirectly saying that there is no God anywhere to judge him.

When a person travels far away from a familiar environment just to commit sin, he or she is acting like there is no God because otherwise, such a fellow would know that God is everywhere.

Shame is the portion of such people. You will not be put to shame, in Jesus name. If this prayer would be answered, you must repent and live in complete obedience to the word of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 DECEMBER 2021 HYMN

IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here, in the power of Christ, I stand.
