MEMORIZE: I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 43:15

OPEN HEAVEN 18 OCTOBER 2021 BIBLE READING DANIEL 4:30-37

30. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31. While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

34. And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and | blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36. At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Go and make the most of this week!

In all your pursuits, do not forget to return all the glory to God!

OPEN HEAVEN 18 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

Seven years after Nebuchadnezzar was deposed from his throne and disgraced to the point of eating grass like an ox, he realised that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men.

Nebuchadnezzar had erroneously thought that he became great by the might of his power (Daniel 4:30 ), but later realised that it was God who made him great.

Many people commit this same error today by proclaiming that their success came by dint of hard work. Beloved, what is it that a man has that he did not receive (1 Corinthians 4:7)? Any achievement that will not lead us back to the original Achiever – the Almighty God, is deadly

The Bible warns against being boastful without giving glory to God, in James 4:13-15 “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”

It is the Almighty God who has the power to will and to do because He is Sovereign. It is an abominable thing in the sight of the sovereign God for anyone to boast of not only what he has achieved as though it were by his ability, but even what he would do in the future.

James 4:16 says But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. We should never ascribe to ourselves the glory due to God as King Herod did.

All he had to do was redirect the glory to God but he failed to do so and this cost him his life, as we see in Acts 12:21-23 “And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.”

Glory belongs to God. Make it a habit to return all glory to God always and He will keep promoting you, in the mighty name of Jesus.

KEY POINT: Prayer Points For Open Heavens 18 October 2021

Are there times you have ascribed Gods glory to yourself? Repent now and return all glory to Him.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 18 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

There is a difference between a worshipper and a worker. While a worshipper has a relationship with God as a result of his act of praises and service to God, a worker only serves in the vineyard of God in a particular capacity.

A worshipper makes in his heart a throne for God while a worker expends energy in the service of God. While it is good to be a worker, it is better to be a worshipper because a worshipper will be a worker.

No true worshipper will abandon the work of God. For instance, in the case of King Saul and David, the Bible records that King Saul prophesied in his early days as king (1 Samuel 19:1-24 ) but he never wrote a Psalm, danced or sang to the Lord.

David on the other hand was a singer, dancer, instrumentalist, prophet, priest and King – an all in one package. No wonder he found his way into God’s heart.

When you come into Gods presence, don’t form activity or big boy or girl. Dance before God, participate actively in the service.

John 4:22 tells us that God is seeking worshippers, not workers. He is aware that every true worshipper will be a dedicated worker.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 18 OCTOBER 2021 KEY POINT

Those who don’t worship God become work tools in the hands of the devil.

You are a unique child, go make a difference.

24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

27. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

29. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

31. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

32. Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

Good Morning Beloved, Have a blessed Sunday.

DAILY PERSONAL CONFESSION: I confess today, my life is a life of possibilities nothing is impossible for me.

OPEN HEAVEN 17 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

One thing every child of God must always remember is that our Father is the Unchangeable Changer. In Genesis we read how God changed a chaotic situation to a peaceful and orderly universe. The Unchangeable Changer effected the changes without Himself being changed.

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” “Genesis 1:2-3”

The Almighty God – the Unchangeable Changer, changed the unfruitful situation of Sarah to fruitfulness (Genesis 21:1-36 ).

He did the same thing for Hannah (1 Samuel 2:1-36) and turned Jacobs life around for good by changing his name to Israel, as recorded in our Bible reading of today.

This clearly proves that what God did in the life of the father of faith (Abraham) He could do in the life of his descendants also. This is why I know that you will encounter this Great Changer who does not change.

As He did for those who sought and called Him in the past, so will He do for you today, in the mighty name of Jesus.Sometime ago, a certain young man who was afflicted with the spirit of madness asked his relatives to bring him to the Redemption Camp.

As his feet touched the ground of the Redemption Camp, he was delivered completely, even before anybody could pray for him. Apparently, the Unchangeable Changer was already waiting for him.

I also recall the case of a highly educated fellow who was unable to get a job in spite of all his qualifications. He surrendered his life to Jesus and we prayed a simple prayer for him. Before he got home that day, three employment offers were waiting for him.

The Unchangeable Changer changed his hopeless situation and he began to sing a new song. have good news for you: Jesus Christ never changes; if He did it before, He can certainly do it again. As the Lord was performing miracles during His earthly ministry, so is He still doing today.

Beloved, put your trust in Him and He will not let you down because He is the Unchangeable Changer. If you would only call on Him now, He would change your situation for the better in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2021 MEMORIZE: And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. Malachi 2:15

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2021 BIBLE READING 2 KINGS 22:1-2

1. Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

A godly seed will bring forth good fruit. Any fellow with godly seed means a lot to God because he/she is a threat to the satanic kingdom and is capable of causing unprecedented damage to their operations.

This was the case with Josiah; he became a King at the age of eight and did what was right in the sight of God. I’m sure many people doubted his ability when he ascended the throne.

They must have condemned the king makers for selecting wrongly and preferred an elderly man for the throne, but this young boy made God glad.

After he heard the word of God read out by Priest Hilkiah from the book of the law, he commanded that all temples and property of idols be destroyed.

He then made a covenant to stand by the word of God and encouraged the people to do likewise (2 Kings 23:1-37). My dear, irrespective of your age, God has ordained you a king and leader in your little circle of influence.

Be like Josiah, Samuel and Jeremiah who instead of giving in to youthful exuberance or immature behaviours, dedicated their lives to make positive impact in their generation as godly seeds.

BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 25:1-30
1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

14. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

19. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: The appropriate date of Christ’s coming is not known by any person or angels except God the Father only Mark 13:32. Jesus stated clearly and emphatically that no one knows the day and the hour when he will return except the Father.

He illustrated this with the illustration of Noah’s flood in Matthew 24:37-39, that people were preoccupied with their own pursuits of life and refused to heed the warnings of God.

They didn’t realise what was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. His second coming will be like that, it will come as a total surprise.

MEMORY VERSE: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father
only’-24:36

BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 25:1-30

1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
