If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hellfire. In Jesus’ name, I pray.”

The name of the Lord is my shield and strength. I will never fall victim to the plans of the enemy, I will never be disadvantaged, all things work together for my good. In Christ, I live, move and have my being. My story is hidden in His divine glory, therefore I am immovable and I will never fail or be accounted among the unfortunates in Jesus’ name. Amen!. Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 12:36-37

36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

On the judgment day, we will not only be assessed on what we achieved but also by all we said while on earth.

There is a word register containing all the words you spoke about your neighbours, friends or enemies, in reaction to different situations; your jokes, flatteries, exaggerations, rumours, gossip will also be documented in that register.

Bad words will condemn the speaker while good words will justify the fellow. Check yourself now to know if all the words you’ve spoken in the last one month will justify or condemn you.

lf Jesus was careful in speech while on earth, how much more you. He said: “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world (the devil) cometh, and hath nothing in me.” “John 14:30”

So, if you don’t want your words to testify against you on the last day, be mindful of them.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 SEPTEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, help me to tame my tongue and let me speak only good words henceforth.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

In John 21:1-6, we read about the disciples encounter with the resurrected Jesus at the Sea of Tiberias where they had gone fishing. In spite of all their hard work, they had caught nothing.

Jesus came to them, but they initially did not recognise Him. He then teased them, asking Children, have ye any meat? The answer was obviously negative.

When you are not where you should be, you are on the wrong side and this can bring untold hardship and sorrow.

Jesus had compassion upon the apostles and gave them a directive to cast their net to the right side of the boat for a catch. They obeyed and hauled in a mighty catch.

Every child of God must always strive to be on the right side of the Lord doing His will, obeying His word and walking according to His ways.

“And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other” “Genesis 13:10-11”

Lot greedily chose the land that seemed good for his flocks without consideration for the elderly uncle who brought him out to choose first.

Unfortunately, it was the wrong side; it was a place marked for destruction. The land was totally destroyed and Lot lost everything except two of his daughters. He even lost his wife to the destruction.

“Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind, and she became a pillar of salt.” “Genesis 19:24-26”

Beloved, please come to the Lords side today if you are yet to answer His call. Repent and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. He will prosper and give you all-round rest as He has promised, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

Many enter into a covenant with God without fulfilling their part. There is the story of a brother, who used to be a drunk; he gave his life to Christ and was invited by God into a covenant his part was never to drink anything in a bottle.

To date, he pours water and drinks into a cup before drinking. This is to assist him to get to heaven and not go back to the sin of alcoholism.

If you see that brother play out this new lifestyle before you consistently, you may be confused about his decision.

You are likely to even ask Is it in the Bible? My dear, some things are not spelt out in the Bible but this is where the Holy Spirit comes in.

When Jesus ascended after His resurrection, He promised that God would send us the Holy Spirit who will teach us ALL things and remind us of the instructions Jesus had given (John 14:26).

If the Holy Spirit restrains you from talking, behaving or dressing in a particular way, don’t be adamant to do otherwise because others are doing it or it doesn’t look like sin. Obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God

Till I cross the narrow sea
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

LESSON THREE (3)
TOPIC: ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 19 SEPTEMBER 2021

MEMORY VERSE: “That if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” Romans 10:9.

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 John 5:11-13

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Many followers of Jesus Christ look for the assurance of salvation in the wrong places. We tend to seek assurance of salvation in the things God is doing in our lives, in our spiritual growth, in the good works and obedience to God’s Word that is evident in our Christian walk.

While these things can be evidence of salvation, they are not what we should base the assurance of our salvation on. Thus, this lesson centres on the confidence we have now that we are saved.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. WHAT IS SALVATION?
2. 2. ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

WHAT IS SALVATION?
Salvation is deliverance from danger or suffering. To save is to deliver or protect. Sometimes, the Bible uses the words saved or salvation to refer to temporal, physical deliverance, such as Paul’s deliverance from prison (Phil.1:19).

The word “salvation” concerns an eternal, spiritual deliverance. Jesus equated being saved with entering the kingdom of God (Matt.19:24-25). Salvation means to be saved from “wrath”, that it, to be exempted from God’s judgement of sin (Romans 5:9; 1 Thess. 5:9) which is death – eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23).

Salvation therefore, implies “the removal of one’s sin”. Only God can remove sin and deliver us from its penalty (2 Tim.1:9; Titus 3:5). He does this through His son Jesus Christ (John 3:17). Specifically, it was Jesus’ shedding of His blood, His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved our salvation
(Rom.5:10; Eph.1:7).

Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God (Eph.2:5, 8-9) and is only available through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). Salvation is the deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to those who believe and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour having repented of their sins (John 1:12).

ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

When a sinner hears the gospel of salvation, repents and forsakes his sins, he goes on to confess his sins to Jesus Christ and asks for salvation, he will saved be (Rom.10:9-15; Acts 2:21). We should not live our Christian lives wondering and worrying each day whether or not we are truly saved.

A sinner who has just prayed a prayer of salvation must believe what is written in Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”.

Believers should trust that they are saved based on the promises God has declared, not because of their subjective experiences or religious activities (Eph.2:8-9). The assurance of our salvation therefore, comes by faith in God’s word (Rom.5:1). The Holy Spirit also bears (inner) witness with our spirit (Rom.8:16).

CONCLUSION: Do not doubt your salvation. Build your assurance in Christ through intimacy with the word of God.

QUESTIONS
1. What is salvation?
2. 2 Explain the process of salvation.
3.
