OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 MAY 2021 MEMORIZE: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS MAY 2021 BIBLE READING 2 CHRONICLES 20:1-24

1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.

3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,

6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

13 And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;

15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.

18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.

19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.

22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

Life is a constant battle. There is a battle against the flesh, Satan and the forces of darkness.

In the Bible text for today, three kings gathered against Jehoshaphat and he ran to God.

When you have studied a subject many times, yet, you dont seem to understand, who do you go to?.

When your family is faced with a difficult situation, who do you run to?.

Jehoshaphat could have consulted other kings for advice, rather, he cried to God who took over the battle from him.

God is the best Ally anyone can have.

In fact, if you want to win any battle, be it against forces of darkness or against the flesh, you need God.

He will either fight for you or teach you how to fight.

When God fights for you, you can’t lose because He has never lost any battle before.

For Him to fight for you however, you have to make Him your ally.

To make God your Ally, you need to do away with sin. Then, when you call upon Him, He will answer you.

OPEN HEAVEN 14 MAY 2021 MESSAGE

There is power behind asking and receiving. If you do not believe this, read the story of Jesus and the boy who was possessed by a demon in Matthew 17:14-21.

Only a child of God can decree a thing and it shall be established as promised in Job 22:28.

This is why it is important to be born again. The boldness to ask in faith and the power to receive belong to God, and He freely gives them to His children. Romans 8:26 says:

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Going by the Scripture above, there is a need to be filled with the Holy Spirit if we would get this divine power.

In other words, the power of prayer is given by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus disciples found it difficult to pray effectively when the Holy Spirit had not come upon them, as seen in Matthew 17:14-20.

However, when the Spirit came upon them, not only were they able to pray effectively, they also started decreeing mighty things (Acts 4:31).

You can also get this power to ask and receive, by resting on God’s promises as contained in His word. For example, in John 16:23, Jesus said

“…Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.”

It is one thing to have the power to ask and it is another to have the power to receive.

Sometimes, when God gives out His Blessing to people, they may not have the power of sonship to receive them.

Peter almost missed his blessing but for the mercy of God.

When he encountered Jesus at the lake of Gennesaret, he pleaded with Jesus to get away from him because he was guilt-ridden (Luke 5:8), whereas Jesus was actually offering him an apostolic office.

To get power to receive God’s benevolence, therefore, you must have faith in Jesus. You must also live a life free of sin (Psalm 66:18).

In addition to that, your prayer must not be married with lust or ulterior motives (James 4:3).

Beginning from now, you will be empowered to ask and receive in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 14 MAY 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the power to pray effectively so that whatever I decree here on earth shall be established Heaven.

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2021 MESSAGE

There is virtually nothing anyone can do without power.

It is generally described as the ability to act or produce an effect; it can also mean the possession of control, influence, legal and or official authority over others.

Power can be physical, mental, political, economic or spiritual.

The power we are looking at today however, encompasses all spheres of human endeavours; it is the divine power available for children of God as we see in the memory verse for today.

Seeing that some degree of power is required in order to become a child of God, the question then is how can a person get this power?.

Beloved, this divine power is given by the Father Himself.

If anyone wishes to become a child of God, he or she must first come to the father in repentance.

Many have perished in sin, sickness, poverty, addictions, and other forms of bondage, because they rejected the Gospel of the Father and so did not receive the power to become children of God.

Romans 3:23 says:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Thus, to become a child of God, you must be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit (John 3:3-5).

The power to become a child of God is also hidden in the word of God (Ephesians 5:26).

You must begin to act on the infallible word of God. It is only then that the power to become His child would come upon you mightily (James 1:22-25).

There are so many rights and privileges of being God’s child. If you are yet to be born again, you are missing a lot.

When you become a child of God, you immediately become joint-heirs with Jesus Christ in glory.

Thus, you become bold to confront your adversaries and they will flee from you.

You receive all-round protection according to Isaiah 54:17.

Your prayers will receive speedy answers from your Father in Heaven and finally, you will make it to Heaven when you close your eyes in death.

In other words, you will escape the agony of the second death as it is written in Revelation 21:8. Praise the Lord!

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2021 PRAYER POINT: PRAYER POINTS FOR OPEN HEAVENS 12 MAY 2021

Father, give me the power to become Your child today. I reject the devil and his deeds. I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour forever, in the mighty name of Jesus

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

2. Not the labours of my hands,
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and Thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace,
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgement throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 MAY 2021 MESSAGE

One of the titles of our Lord Jesus Christ in our Bible reading for today is Root of David.

This reminds one of Jesus link to plants and trees.

No wonder He said in John 15:1-5 that He is the Vine while we are the branches. In addition to being the Vine, He is the Root.

The root of a tree is the most essential part of the tree, yet hidden in the ground.

This implies that as children of God, Jesus is our Root and He is hidden inside of us.

Just as a strong wind cannot uproot a tree that has firm roots in the ground, nothing can shake a true child of God. No problem can sweep you away.

So, whenever you feel lonely or overwhelmed by any challenge, remember that Jesus is living inside you; you cannot be moved.

However, you have to focus on Him.

If you lose focus of Him like Peter did when he walked towards Jesus on water (Matthew 14:29-30 ), you will be moved.

Also, do not allow sin or unrighteousness in your life because if you do, He will leave you.

Therefore, whatever price you have to pay to remain in Christ, ensure you pay it, so that nothing will move you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 MAY 2021 KEY POINT

Your today and future are secure with Christ, your root.

OPEN HEAVEN 13 MAY 2021 MESSAGE

It is always good to pay close attention to instructions given by anyone you consider to be your guide or guardian.

More often, we miss many opportunities, breakthroughs and victories because we fail to pay attention to the details of the instructions given to us.

The apostles of old also struggled with this lack of adequate attention to detailed instructions and we must learn from them.

When our Lord came face to face with the reality of the cross, He admitted that it was not an easy burden to bear (Mark 14:34).

There is only one way to pass the tests of these present times – prayer.

He went to pray and told the disciples to do the same though not for Him, but themselves.

In our memory verse today, Jesus said they should watch and pray so as not to enter into temptation but they were busy sleeping.

At a point, Jesus was so moved by their insensitivity to the reality at hand that He said to Peter “Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch one hour?” – (Mark 14:37).

Beloved, to make it to the end of our Christian race, let us pay close attention to the details of the Lord’s injunctions and we shall be glad we did.

When the Lord said “Bring ye all the tithes to the storehouse” – Malachi 3:10, He meant all the tithes.

You do not need an Advanced Learners Dictionary to understand what ‘all means. It is clear that in this case, ‘all’ means everything that makes up one tenth of your income.

The Bible says in (1 Corinthians 11:6):
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

Here, Apostle Paul did not say much on why a woman should cover her head while praying or prophesying.

However, a conscientious child of God would not press for too many details before she jumps at this simple instruction of covering the head while praying.

We should learn to hearken to the word of God whether it is convenient to do so or not.

Paying close attention to the details of God’s instructions can make the difference between speedy results and delayed blessings.

God asked Abraham to leave his entire family and he obeyed but not completely as he took Lot – his nephew along with him.

The manifestation of God’s promise in the life of Abraham did not come to pass until Lot separated from him. Hearken unto God.

1. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2. Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?, for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4. And when he had gathered all the chief riests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

12. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

13. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

14. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

15. And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 MAY 2021 MESSAGE

You are not too young to know that life is a battle-field. Jesus was only a baby when Herod wanted him dead.

I remember the story of a family: the father had a heated argument with a man in the village, and the man vowed to destroy the entire family.

First, he killed the man, on the way back from his burial, his first son who came from abroad and travelled in his new car had an accident with the car and died.

When the mother heard the news, she also collapsed and died.

So, each time they travelled to the village to bury one person, another died on their way back until it was remaining only one child.

The only child left was at the time studying Medicine at the University; he went to bury the last person who died and was seen by his late fathers adversary.

The man the decided not to kill the last one so quickly, but make him suffer a little first. The boy got back to school and ran mad.

It was in this state that he was brought to my office; I prayed a simple prayer and God delivered him.

Today, the judgement of God will come upon whoever has vowed to make you suffer in this life in Jesus mighty name.

Stay with God so that He can fight all your battles.
