OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 JULY 2021 BIBLE READING DANIEL 1:8

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

DANIEL 2:22

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 JULY 2021 MESSAGE

God is the custodian of secrets and He decides whom to reveal them to.

The only condition for choosing who to reveal His thoughts is that such a fellow must fear and reverence Him.

Sometimes, He reveals secrets as a form of warning against an impending danger or as an avenue to bless someone.

Daniel was one of the young boys taken into captivity from Judah to Babylon.

There, he had no parent or guardian to monitor him, yet, he refused to defile himself and was committed to God.

His commitment made him a custodian of divine secrets through dreams and their interpretation.

God revealed many things to him about the kingdom, the king and eternity.

Daniel lived a consecrated life and became one of the highest political office holders in Babylon.

Who says you cannot be the greatest in your country or another mans land?.

However, for this to happen, you have to fear God, then, He will reveal hidden things to you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 JULY 2021 KEY POINT

When you fear God, He will reveal secrets to you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 JULY 2021 HYMN

All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.

2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

3. All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!

And `am so glad to be
A part of this great family.
OPENING PRAYER: Father, please don’t let us be lured into eternal condemnation by the devil’s antics.
BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 8:9-12
9 – But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 – For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 – And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 – But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: ‘When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.’ What is abuse? Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in diverse ways like physical, emotional, mental etc.. But our concern is based on today’s topic: How can a Christian youth abuse the use of phones and ICT?
When mobile phones that are supposed to bring God’s blessing to the individual now becomes a source of distraction and addiction such that it has taken the place of God even during sermons, the majority of our youth go to social media for chatting, browsing etc.. Many of them have attracted God’s curses because of their disregard for God.
This is an abuse.
TEXT REVIEW: 1 Corinthians 8:9-12
i. We should not allow our liberty in Christ to become a stumbling block to both the weak believers and the unbelievers.
ii. Whatever God has given to us, must be handled for the edification of our brothers and sisters to the glory of God.
LESSON OUTLINES
A: MOSES ROD AS A CASE STUDY OF AN ABUSE:
We should examine this step by step:
STEP ONE: Exodus 4:2-4 – The ordinary rod in the hand of Moses before, now became a miraculous rod because Moses was on a mission for God.
STEP TWO: The rod swallowed all the magicians’ serpents in Pharaoh’s place. – Exodus 7:9-12
STEP THREE: The rod parted the Red Sea. – Exodus 14:16
STEP FOUR: Exodus 17:5-6 – The rod was used to smite the rock for water.
STEP FIVE: Numbers 20:8-11 – God instructed Moses to use the rod and speak to the rock for water again.
STEP SIX: Moses did not enter the promised land because he did not use the rod the manner he was told to. Numbers 20:12
ACTIVITY: How can somebody abuse his / her phone / ICT?
SUMMARY: Please be wise.
CONCLUSION: Youth, please beware! The same gadget you are playing with, can become a link that may lure you to hell. Quite a number of youth are regular visitors to pornographic sites and many have become addicted to it. Laptops are designed for positive things and not for internet frauds. Moderation or self-control is needed in the use of phones and ICT (internet). So you are enjoined to use them ONLY for GOD’S GLORY.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for Your word of correction.
2. Father, please give our youth a listening ear always.
3. Father, please anoint Daddy G.O. and Mummy G.O. more than before.
4. Father, destroy every plan of the devil to recruit our youth through abuse of phones and ICT (internet).
5. My phone, internet and ICT hear the word of God. You will not send me to hell in Jesus’ name.
GOLDEN DIET FOR THE WEEK
MONDAY: Study 1 Corinthians 9:16-29.
TUESDAY: Please pray: Every lying spirit of the end time, I am not your candidate.
WEDNESDAY: Read 2 Timothy from 3:1 to the end.
THURSDAY: From today take a stance to watch only what is godly from your phone.
FRIDAY: Start to retreat without using your phone for four hours.
SATURDAY: Preach this gospel to other youth.
SUNDAY: Thank God for your freedom.

OPENING PRAYER
Father, deliver us from the spirit of spiritual sleep and slumber. Give us strength to watch and be sober.
MEMORY VERSE: “Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober”. — 1Thessalonians 5:6
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8
[1]But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
[2]For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[3]For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4]But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
[5]Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[6]Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
[7]For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
[8]But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
INTRODUCTION: Spiritually, sleep could either be caused naturally (Proverbs 3:24) or supernaturally (Genesis 2:21). Sleep is also used as a figurative expression of death (John 11:11-13), spiritual weakness or lukewarmness (Ephesians 5:14). Spiritual sleep is considered dangerous for any believers. This calls for spiritual awakening, i.e. waking up from spiritual sleep.
TEXT REVIEW: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8.
The Apostle Paul distinguished between the children of the day and the children of the night in 1Thessalonians 5:1-8 (5).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. SIGNS AND DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL SLEEP
2. REMEDIES FOR SPIRITUAL SLEEP

SIGNS AND DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL SLEEP

There are signs or indicators of spiritual sleep that every believer should watch out for. When you notice that you are:more interested in the things of the world or vigorously pursuing wealth(1John 2:15; Ecclesiastes 5:10); manifesting more of the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21); not hungry for spiritual food (Colossians 3:15-16); no longer impacted by the word of God (Isaiah 6:9-10; Jeremiah 15-16); no longer praying or hearing the voice of God (Romans 11:7-8); no longer thirsty for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). In addition, you may be sleeping spiritually when you think you do not need to learn(Proverbs 18:2; Galatians 6:3); pursuing fame or self-glory (Jeremiah 45:5); unmindful of danger(Judges 16:16-25; Jonah 1:3-5); lack commitment in spiritual relationships with spiritually-minded Christians (Hebrews 10:25).
If you are asleep spiritually you cannot discern spiritual matters (1 Corinthians 2:11-14; Proverbs 29:18). By implication whatever you cannot see you cannot get (Genesis 13:14-18; Jeremiah 17:5-6). You are open to spiritual attack(1 Kings19:1-8; Matthew 13:24-30) and sudden destruction ( Acts 20:9-12; Judges 4:17-21). You will become weak (Judges 16:20) and bring disappointment (2 Timothy 4:10). You can miss divine appointment (Matthew 25:1-12).
REMEDIES FOR SPIRITUAL SLEEP
The Bible calls for spiritual awakening especially for believers that are slumbering or already asleep in spiritual matters (Romans 13:11). Why should and how can such believers wake up?
One clear reason for spiritual awakening is the nearness of the second coming of Jesus Christ (Romans 13:11b; Matthew 24:42-44). Believers should also note that we are children of light and of ‘the day’ and not of ‘the night’ nor of darkness (1Thessalonians 5:5). To enjoy the true light in Christ, those that are sleeping spiritually must wake up (Ephesians 5:14). Another reason to awake from spiritual sleep is to receive deliverance from the snare of the devil (2Timothy 2:26). Believers should wake up spiritually because, we are in the season of harvest of souls into God’s kingdom (Luke 10:2). Also, it is a time of war and the enemy is wide awake (Matthew 13:25; 1Peter 5:8).
1 Corinthians 15:34 charges every believer to awake to righteousness, strive to know God and stop sinning. If you claim to be a believer in Christ, you must constantly check your lifestyle habits to know whether you are slumbering or sleeping spiritually (2Corinthians 13:5; Luke 21:34). Watch and pray constantly in order to remain spiritually alert (Luke 21:36; Matthew 26:41).
CONCLUSION: Learn to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit in order not to sleep spiritually. If you are already sleeping, wake up.
1. What are the signs and dangers of spiritual sleep?
2. Mention the remedies for spiritual sleep

OPEN HEAVEN 17 JULY 2021 MEMORIZE: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

OPEN HEAVEN 17 JULY 2021 BIBLE READING ROMANS 7:18-25

18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

OPEN HEAVEN 17 JULY 2021 MESSAGE

Speaking about a new creature is an indication that there was an old one.

A new life in Christ however, is the new way of thinking and doing things in accordance with the word of God.

Galatians 2:20 says: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

This simply means that when a person accepts Jesus as his or her Lord and Saviour, such a person automatically becomes dead to the old life.

Every link with the old life is cut off. The old password simply refuses to work because the username has changed.

This marks the end of the old life and the beginning of the new one in Jesus, as seen in todays memory verse (2 Corinthians 5:17 ).

Out of the blue, you suddenly have new standards, you begin to measure everything you do in line with the word of God.

This new life in Christ comes with the assurance of abundant life here on earth and even in heaven.

You have the assurance of answered prayers, confidence in His love and mercy.

As you read His word, your faith grows and intensifies to the point where you know that He will never leave nor forsake you.

God is faithful and dependable; as a new creature in Jesus Christ, you can count on Him. Ignore the devil whenever he comes to remind you of your past.

The Bible describes him as the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10).

Respond boldly by reminding him that old things are passed away and you are now a new creature in Christ.

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.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 JULY 2021 BIBLE READING ESTHER 2:8-15

8. So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

9. And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

10. Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.

11. And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.

12. Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)

13. Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.

14. In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.

15. Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 JULY 2021 MESSAGE

Do you know that you can be a posh Christian?.

Being a Christian does not mean you should dress shabbily, look unkempt and drab. Your gender does not matter in this case.

My child, pay more attention to your appearance. Knowing you’re a child of the King of kings should make you represent your Father properly by your dressing.

Princes and princesses don’t dress shabbily; their appearance speaks of royalty and honour.

The events that took place before Esther was crowned queen in Esther 2:1-23 , tells us that you can be simple, classy, spiritual and smart.

While other ladies were flamboyant, Esther on the advice of Hegai was different and she won the crown.

So, your dressing doesn’t have to be expensive or flamboyant with the intention of showing-off, rather, it should be well-ironed and neatly combined to glorify God.

Someone said dress the way you want to bead dressed.

As a girl, wearing skin-revealing clothes doesn’t portray you as Gods child; even if your parents buy them for you, don’t wear them.

Also, as a boy, don’t go about showing your chest or boxers, button up, cover up!. You don’t have to wear what is in vogue before you look good.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 JULY 2021 KEY POINT

Spirituality has no correlation with shabbiness.

LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU

1 While passing through this world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.

CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.

2. Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?

3. What joy ‘twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you.

4. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
