OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 NOVEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Genesis 2:19

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING ROMANS 4:17

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Todays Bible reading expatiates Abrahams story. Though he was childless for many years, God renamed him a father of many nations. This revelation gave Abraham a new mind-set that eventually birthed his miracle.

It is not what people call you that matters but what you answer to. The Bible says that God calls those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). He sees glory in every situation irrespective of your reality.

The next time someone insults your looks, don’t be sad, rename the situation. Just tell them, you’re the apple of Gods eye-The name a thing or event is called is important not only to men but also to God.

God was keen on what Adam would call each animal because it would provide a means of identification, distinct destiny as well as chart for them a mode of conduct or behavioural pattern.

So, if you fail an exam, don’t call yourself a failure. Rather, say, I just discovered that I have to put in extra efforts in order to succeed. This attitude will gear you towards doing better and not getting depressed.

As you grow in your relationship with God, you can speak forth changes in your life and situations and see them come to pass.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 5 NOVEMBER 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.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!

1. To God be the glory, great
things He hath done,
So loved He the world
that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an
atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate
that all may go in.

CHORUS
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father,
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He hath done.

2. Oh, perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood,
To every believer the
promise of God;
The vilest offender
who truly believes,
That moment from
Jesus a pardon receives.

3. Great things He hath taught us,
Great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing
through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher,
and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport,
when Jesus we see.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING REVELATION 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

When our last child was 5 years old, I led him to the Lord and one sin I didn’t tolerate as his mother was lying. There was a time I was looking for my jar of Vaseline. He was the only one at home with me and when I asked, he said he didn’t take it.

I was furious and scolded him for lying. Suddenly, he said Mummy, didn’t you tell me that lying is a sin? I didn’t take what you’re looking for. I am a child of God. This sentence broke me and I went quiet.

After a while the Holy Spirit told me to look in a direction, there I found my Vaseline. Till date, my son is still very careful about not telling lies.

If you’re living in lies, you are empty of the Truth which is Jesus Christ. Lying is a killer. It robs one of all godly virtues and integrity.

To become established in life and friendships, lay your foundation on the truth so that whatever you build will not crumble.

If you gained admission through forged results/certificates, do restitution. Remember, all liars will end as firewood in hell.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

You must stop lying or swearing if you don’t want to miss heaven.

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

CHORUS
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!;

No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2. For my cleansing this I see?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

3. Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

4. This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 NOVEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING ECCLESIASTES 5:4-6

4. When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

God is looking for doers, not hearers. In my early years as a believer, I acted promptly on Gods word after every sermon. For instance, when we were told that worldly music would hinder our spiritual growth, my wife and I destroyed our record albums of popular Nigerian musicians like King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey and others.

Beloved, in this kingdom, we are like soldiers. Soldiers don’t argue, grumble or delay obeying orders. They make haste to obey orders from their superiors. This is what is expected of us as soldiers of Christ.

Every Biblical message is an order that must be carried out without delay. If after hearing Gods word with conviction you failed to do it that same day, you will observe that by the following day, your commitment to do it would have reduced. If you don’t do it in a week, you may never do it.

Furthermore, if you want to satisfy the deepest longing of God, you must do exactly what He tells you to do the way He wants it and when He wants it.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Do you obey Gods word promptly?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 NOVEMBER 2021 HYMN

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way,
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away,
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay,
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 2 Samuel 22:2

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING PSALMS 91:1-8

1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

The Psalmist says in Psalm 125:1: “They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.”

One point to be quickly noted about this Scripture is that it is only for those who put their trust in the Lord, not those who have alternatives to the Almighty God.

Those who put their trust in God are immovable. This was Davids experience.In the Bible text of today we see another dimension of divine protection over Gods people.

This is food for thought for those who are still in doubt of Gods ability to protect to the very end. Some people are even afraid of prosperity because they feel they would be prone to enemy attacks when they prosper.

They refuse to believe Davids assurance in Psalms 23:5 which says: “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…my cup runneth over.”

Not only did God prepare a sumptuous table for David, He filled his cup to the point of overflow just to show that He had more than enough to give to His beloved. As if that were not enough, it was done in the presence of Davids enemies and they could do nothing against it.

The Almighty God who prospers us is also the One who protects and He has assured us that He will keep us at all times (Psalms 91:3,5).

Davids experiences – first with the lion, then the bear (1 Samuel 17:34-37) and later with Goliath (1 Samuel 17:49-51) are testimonies that should make any doubter believe that our God is Jehovah Nissi. This means He is the Banner that covers and goes ahead of us to guarantee victory in every battle we face (Exodus 17:15).

Beloved, I am assuring you that if you put your trust in the Lord, your protection will be guaranteed, because our God never fails. He watches over His elect so that His name may not be blasphemed.

The Lord fights on behalf of His elect and always ensures they are victorious over evil. Hence, your victory over evil is guaranteed, so long as you remain on Gods side and stay away from sin.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Ensure that you serve only the Almighty God – the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, so your protection can be guaranteed in the blood of the Lamb.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 NOVEMBER 2021 MEMORIZE: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

OPEN HEAVEN 2 NOVEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING JAMES 4:7-10

7. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Submission to the perfect will of God is a great weapon against trials and temptations. It is wisdom for us to submit to our Present Help in the time of trouble, according to Psalms 46:1. Our closest ally in the battle of life is Jesus Christ.

The Bible says: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God.” “1 John 5:4-5”

For us to overcome, we must submit ourselves to God, resist the devil and then he will flee from us (James 4:7). The Bible says that pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Many people fall into temptation because of pride.

Romans 13:3 says: “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”

While pride makes people think they can survive this life without God, humility and sobriety are great instruments of defence in the face of temptations. We are encouraged to humble ourselves in the sight of God so that He can lift us.

However, people easily fall into trials and temptations because of their failure to live soberly in this perverse generation.

James 1:14-15 says But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death.

The Bible goes further in 1 Timothy 6:9-10 to say: “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil…”

Beloved, to overcome trials and temptations, you must run to Jesus today with a sober heart, humility and the fear of the Lord. He will surely come to your aid, in the name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Examine your life carefully to see where and how you may have exposed yourself to temptations, ask for Gods forgiveness and commit to living a sin-free life from now.

1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear-
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

When I newly gave my life to Christ, I was trained on the subject of faith by my father in the Lord. He was a practical Christian who only taught what he had experienced.

I remember a time when he said his wife told him there was no more meat in the pot of stew and the family wasn’t buoyant enough to afford it. My father told Mummy to look away from the pot as she served the family meal.

To her surprise, each scoop of stew delivered a piece of meat into the plate. Unbelievable but true.

You see, my dear, all you need in life has already been provided by God but you’re grappling in confusion because you doubt His existence. Only people who believe the miraculous will experience it.

The Bible says only fools say there is no God and because we are not fools, we believe that God is mindful of us and has taken care of all our needs in advance.

What you need in the next 3, 5, 10 years and more has been provided for. Connect with God in faith and you will never lack anything.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
