OPEN HEAVEN 25 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

The ability to stand firm against evil is one of the many virtues that are gradually disappearing from the Church today. The axiom If you can’t beat them, join them has become widely acceptable. May God help His Church in the mighty name of Jesus.

Our memory verse today states clearly that God abhors those who support wickedness as well as those who upbraid the just. When we refuse to condemn evil and wickedness we will definitely reject and vote against the just.

Jesus Christ, after commending their charitable service, faith and patience, warned the Church at Thyatira against tolerating sexual immorality, typified in the woman Jezebel who called herself a prophetess seducing innocent souls in the Church (Revelation 2:20).

Such people are those who, through their comportment, excessive adornment and fashion have moved the world into the Church. Apostle Paul cautioned us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14 ).

The call of God to us today is to stand up against evil, first within the Church, before taking the battle to the gates of hell.

Unfortunately, many Christians applaud or ignore ungodly acts even in the Church. They shy away from condemning ungodly acts for fear of being condemned by the world.

This is why, in some countries, you cannot preach against homosexuality; if you do, you may be jailed and it is your fellow Christian brethren or pastor who will condemn you as being foolish for not being discreet enough! Likewise, in some societies, violence against women, especially rape, is rampant, yet nothing meaningful is being done to stop the practice.

One of my children was once on a panel where some pastors were being interviewed for promotion. One particular candidate had been most passionate about his convictions with respect to godly standards as contained in the word of God, opposing worldly views with confidence.

However, when this godly candidate left, another member of the panel said If this is what that pastor is holding on to, he will not have ten people in his congregation! The truth has been mortgaged in some quarters of Christendom. Beloved, please arise and let us, as one, stand against evil.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 NOVEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please revive Your Church. Let the body of Christ be light unto the world as we stand against every form of evil in our societies in Jesus name.

STAND UP STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day;
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 25 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Mediocrity is the act of having no outstanding feature or quality. A mediocre is someone who would rather maintain the status quo than take the initiative to birth new things. When a teenager refuses to exercise his or her imaginative skill and physical strength, he or she is a mediocre.

God desires that you move higher in all spheres of life so you can become all he wants you to be. That is why Romans 12:24 says: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,”

Conformity is mediocrity and it makes a fellow remain average when he has already been endowed with what it takes to attain great heights.

God has created, empowered and destined you for excellence. Don’t remain small. Renew your mind by the word of God so you will be transformed from average to excellence in every aspect of your life.

Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing shall resound
Lord lead me on to higher ground.

1. Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3. Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk,

7. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9. And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

10. And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

11. And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s greatly wondering.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 24 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

In today’s Bible reading, we see a man who was born lame but didn’t die lame. This tells us that anything that has a beginning surely has an end.

That a fellow is born poor does not mean he should die poor. If he dies poor, its because he chose to end that way. By the grace of God I have tasted poverty and I tell you, its not the will of God for any of His children to be poor.

Gods plan is to bring the best out of your worst. Some people believe in fate. They conclude that the events in a mans life constitute his destiny but I beg to differ.

As a Christian, you and God are the major determinants of your destiny. In other words, you have a role to play and God has His. If you play your role: work hard, hold on to Him, confess His promises, serve Him faithfully, He will do His.

Are you forsaken by your parents, friends or loved ones? Rejoice because you are a divine project. God is ready to carry you in His everlasting arms provided you don’t forsake Him.

He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
In trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley,

and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
I’ve all for Him forsaken,
and all my idols torn
From my heart and now
He keeps me by His pow’r.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

3. He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see
His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

It is sad that many Christians fail to take advantage of the numerous prayer meetings available to them, to get their problems solved.

Some come to the Church and are unable to cry to God to solve the challenges that brought them to His presence. Others even doze off at prayer vigils, missing their moments of divine visitation.

In todays Bible reading, we see the beautiful reward of crying to God in prayer. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing through Jericho, he cried out. Though he had no eyes to see Jesus, he made use of his mouth to cry to the Lord, even when the people around were discouraging him from doing so (Mark 10:48).

Many years ago, a woman was attacked by the devil. It was such that she was unable to retain in her system anything she ate. When things became unbearable, she ran to God. She came for one of our services and arrived at a point when the Lord was asking the congregation to shout Hallelujah.

The woman, in faith, responded to the Lords command through His minister and shouted Hallelujah with everyone else. God honoured her faith as she shouted; a worm popped out of her mouth and that was the end of her problem.

Sometimes, people who cannot help you may try to discourage you from crying to God for help. It is left for you to either allow them to discourage you or refuse to be shut up. As for me, I will not be shut up.

Psalms 5:3 says: “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.”

While Jesus knew Bartimaeus need, He still asked him what he wanted. This is because Jesus would not break the Scripture in Matthew 7:7 which says Ask, and it shall be given unto you… Thank God Bartimaeus asked for his ultimate need to be met his eyesight, and not for some shekels. His cry was meaningful.

There are also meaningless cries – cries without substance. They are the type Jesus describes as vain repetitions (Matthew 6:7). A vain repetition is any form of prayer not in alignment with the will and word of God (James 4:3).

Beloved, like Bartimaeus did in Mark 10:51, you must cry to God meaningfully! May the Lord hear your cry today, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Make a list of your major needs and spend time crying to God to meet them all in Jesus name.

God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with specific instructions. Their disobedience to God’s instructions made them hide from Him forgetting that: “..the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,” “2 Chronicles 16:9”

No one can hide from God. It’s not that God did not know where Adam was or what he had done, He only wanted him to confess his sin and be restored to his previous position.

Beloved, where are you in the house of God today? How is your relationship with your Heavenly Father? If you are a worker in Gods vineyard, yet, have no relationship with Him, God is asking where are you? He wants you to rededicate your life to Him so that your labour in His house will not be in vain.

3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

4. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Any coalition that does not have God and His perfect will as its focus is evil. Our memory verse today says we are only made perfect when we come to the unity of faith which comes from the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

This Scripture is simply saying that when we are called to unite, we must first ask for the purpose of such union. This is because uniting with people blindly could result in untold agony, as we see in the case of Jehoshaphat the King of Judah and his unholy alliance with the idolatrous Ahab King of Israel (1 Kings 22:1-53).

It was only the mercy of God that spared Jehoshaphat from dying another mans death. The unfortunate thing about an ungodly and rebellious alliance is that it always ends in frustration and shame.

Psalms 2:4 says when people do this: “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”

We see this with the people at Babel in todays Bible reading. They united in rebellion and God confounded their language, so they could not understand one another.

The record in Psalms 2:2 teaches us several lessons. One is that God is always aware of any alliance to rebel against Him. The Almighty God will always reveal the evil plans of your enemies, in Jesus name.

Two, God does not only expose the evil conspiracies, He also always does something about them. We see an example in Daniel 6:7-24 when the princes and presidents in Babylon conspired against Daniel.

All those who are united against Gods purpose for your life shall be confounded and their purposes will be defeated, in Jesus name.

Three, when God arises to foil the plans of those who unite against Him and His people, He leaves them confused and in disarray. Your enemies will never be able to agree in their decision to destroy you, in Jesus name.

Do not consent when rebellious people ask you to join them (Proverbs 1:10-15 ). Beloved, look inward: are you uniting in any form of rebellion? Now is the time to stop, if you are.

If you are not, I congratulate you. May the Lord grant you the grace never to align yourself with rebels, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

If the activities of your friends and those you spend time with are not in alignment with the word of God, part ways with them and make new friends amongst genuine children of God.

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.
