OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2021 MEMORIZE: Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil: Isaiah 1:16

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2021 BIBLE READING PSALMS 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew aright spirit within me.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

When we were young believers, we were taught to always keep our house clean because God may pay us a visit anytime.

After Bible study that day, though Daddy, the children and I were tired from the days activities, we made sure that we swept out underneath our beds and cleaned the house before retiring for the night.

Many believers think God is only looking at the spirit man; He also looks at the outward.

Some ladies take time to apply make-up, wear beautiful dresses and perfumes but if you visit their rooms, you will be disgusted.

So also some boys, they package themselves well when going on an outing but their room is in contrast with their handsomeness.

If you can’t tidy up your room when you’re young, it means you will be a dirty adult whose bungalow or storey building will be laced with cobwebs and odour.

A way to ensure cleanliness is by making sure you arrange your sitting room, wash dirty plates and pots and flush your toilets after use et cetera.

If I’m to visit your house today and I’m greeted with an odour, that first visit may be my last.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2021 KEY POINT

Dirtiness is an act of laziness and not condoned by God.

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 25 OCTOBER 2021 MEMORIZE: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1

OPEN HEAVEN 25 OCTOBER 2021 BIBLE READING LUKE 22:54-60

54. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.

55. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

56. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

57. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

60. And Peter said, Man, | know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

An adage says Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are. The company you keep will go a long way to show who you are, what you do and how you respond to situations in life.

The story in our Bible reading of today tells us how Peter eventually denied the Master as predicted by Jesus Christ.

Why did Peter deny Jesus? One, the Bible says when Jesus was taken and brought into the high priests house, Peter followed him afar off (Luke 22:54 ).

It is dangerous to follow Jesus from afar. Secondly, because it was so cold out there, Peter moved into the hall and sat down with those enjoying the warmth of the fire that was set.

It is unfortunate today that some so-called believers are enjoying the fire or the warmth of sin in the bosom of strange men and women.

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” “Psalm 1:1”

Peter, forgetting that he had the identity of a Galilean, sat in the midst of the residents of Jerusalem. He was confronted with the truth that he was a Galilean and a follower of Jesus Christ for that matter.

Many pretend they are not Christians so that they may conform to some so called comfort zones in life, whereas, the Bible says we should not be conformed to this world (Romans 12:2).

Peter was not sensitive enough in the spirit to recognise that his location did not support his commitment to Jesus Christ. He denied Jesus to the point of swearing and the cock crew (Matthew 26:74-75).

Beloved, let us learn from Peter that we should not follow Jesus from afar. We must not patronise places that would compromise our spiritual health, no matter how attractive they may be.

Sometime ago, I was on a road trip and was accosted by armed robbers. I asked my Daddy why such a thing would happen to me and He said It is because you are dressed like the people the robbers are looking for! Truly, that day, I was dressed flamboyantly in the traditional attire of one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria and the robbers mistook me for a Chief!

Beloved, God wants us to be mindful of how we dress and the people we spend our time with. We are called to identify with the Lord always.

Father, please help me never to deny You, however tough the trial may be.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 25 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

The goal of criticism is to bring about correction, a change in the positive direction. More often than not however, this goal is not realized because of poor presentation.

People who dish out destructive criticisms have a critical spirit; this makes them focus on the wrongdoings of others while blinded to theirs. Sadly, they don’t see the virtues in the fellow being criticized.

If you’re in a position to correct anyone, please do it wisely and constructively, there is a better way to correct people.

For instance, in our Bible passage for today, when God was about to correct the church at Ephesus, He applauded them before stating their weaknesses.

This is what I also do; whenever I want to correct someone, I would first commend him/her in the areas in which he/she has done well, enumerate his/her strengths before bringing out his/her faults.

Thereafter, I’ll encourage the person and tell him/her how he/she can make amends. Any fellow you criticize this way will know that you genuinely have their interest at heart.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 25 OCTOBER 2021 KEY POINT

Constructive criticism will always yield positive changes in people.

MEMORY VERSE: And the king shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40

BIBLE TEXT: Acts 9:1-5

1. And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2. And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:
Persecution is defined as pursuing in a manner to injure, grieve or afflict; other synonyms for this word include oppress, harass, distress, worry and annoy.

Saul of Tarsus was in one way or the other advantaged by being intelligent to have graduated under Gamaliel but he ended up using this God’s given advantage/opportunity to afflict the church of Christ until he was divinely arrested on his way to Damascus, that was his last duty in oppressing, afflicting and putting the church of Christ grieving.

Beloved what special gift of advantage has God freely given you and you are using it to oppress, afflict and annoy the church. I pray that today you will repent in the Lord Jesus’ name.

TEXT REVIEW: Acts 9: 1-5

1. And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2. And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

LESSON OUTLINE :
WAYS WE MAYBE PERSECUTING JESUS UNKNOWINGLY

1. Our Riches.
2. Our God’s given talents.
3. Our properties.
4. Our Education.
5. Our Position
6. Our Family reputation
7. Our Spiritual gifts and Ministries.

ACTIVITY: Which other ways can we prosecute Christ unknowingly?

SUMMARY: Physical acquisition of wealth can make a man proud and a proud man will certainly prosecute Christ in any way.

CONCLUSION: The church invariably is described as the body of Christ, if in any way you have done or still doing any of these things; just like our memory verse says as long as you do it to the least of the person in the church, you have done it or prosecuted Jesus Himself.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Father, thank you for the grace to hear this message in the mighty name of Jesus.

2. Father, in any way I have abused my gift or position to oppress your church, please have mercy on me.

3. Father, from today, open my eyes to help others with the gift given to me in Jesus’name.

4. Everlasting Father, please release upon me the grace to always respond to the needs of your Church in Jesus’name.

5. Pray for Daddy G.O and his family.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2021 MEMORIZE: But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. Luke 22:21

OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2021 BIBLE READING LUKE 22:19-23

19. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This

is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23. And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

A kiss is a very intimate show of affection and it is usually not cheap to give or receive. One would then wonder why Judas Iscariot decided to use a kiss as the code to betray Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:48-50).

For one, Psalms 41:9 had to be fulfilled. “Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.”

We must learn that the word of God will forever be fulfilled. Another lesson from what necessitated Judas betrayal code was the leadership style of Jesus Christ.

He was obviously very close to His disciples. There was no distinction between Him and His subordinates – no class boundaries, no differentiation.

As a matter of fact, He washed their feet. Whoever saw Jesus washing His disciples feet could have mistaken Him for a servant of servants. Whatever He did, He empowered His disciples to do also.

What a lesson for Christian leaders! Leaders must also be extremely careful of close associates without being unnecessarily suspicious. This is because, out of twelve disciples, there usually would be one Judas Iscariot.

The truth is, more often than not, there is always a need for a Judas for the fulfilment of Gods purpose for a leaders life. This is a bitter truth, but it must be told.

There is however, a kiss that betrays, not someone else, but your very self! For example, when you intimately kiss a person who is not your spouse, you have betrayed your spirit man and empowered the flesh.

Apostle Paul says that we should abstain from all appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). He says further All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not (1 Corinthians 10:23).

In Romans 14:21 , he also says: “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.”

May you neither be sold nor sell yourself by a kiss of betrayal, in the name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 OCTOBER 2021 KEY POINT

Check the motive behind your actions; it may betray you. Pray that you will not end up like Judas Iscariot, in the mighty name of Jesus.

AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND

1. Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

2. ‘Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home

4. The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

5. When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
