OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2021 MESSAGE

A major sign of backsliding is when you discover that your mind is constantly filled with immoral thoughts.

A backsliding believer would have all manner of sinful thoughts flow through his or her mind.

When David backslid, he cried to God for restoration, saying:

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. – Psalm 51:10

His heart had become dirty. He discovered that immoral thoughts now filled his heart.

When you begin to harbour immoral thoughts or suddenly become comfortable in revealing clothes, it is a sign that your heart is far from God.

In the past, nobody would need to point out a harlot or a thug, they would be easily identified from their dressing.

These days, we have professing Christians who dress like harlots and thugs.

When a person backslides, all of sudden, God seems to be very far from the fellow. Don’t blame Him; His word says:

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. – James 4:8

When you are no longer intimate with God, what do you expect Him to do? David cried in Psalm 51:11:

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

When Jesus bore the sins of the world on the cross, He had to cry out:

… My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? – Mark 15:34

God moved away because He cannot behold sin (Habakkuk 1:13) and He would also depart from any believer who harbours iniquity.

The Holy Spirit cannot stay with someone who is frolicking with sin; He is the Holy Spirit, not an unholy spirit.

When you stop reading your Bible daily you stop praying, you stop witnessing, you reduce your attendance of fellowship, you are drawing far from God.

This is the beginning of backsliding and it won’t be long before sin creeps in.

Are any of these signs of backsliding evident in your life?. Address them today.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 MARCH 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, whatever is drawing me far from You, please remove it from my life today. If I am holding on to it too much, remove it by force, in the mighty name of Jesus.

CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE

1. Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.

REFRAIN:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.

2. In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory.

3. Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 23 MARCH 2021 MESSAGE

Many years ago, a couple who were professors brought their son for prayers.

He was the dullest in his class and always in the last position.

When the class increased from 30 to 35 pupils, his position moved from 30th to 35th.

I prayed a simple prayer with them and God touched his brain.

After his last exam, his teacher was surprised about his result and asked that he redo the exam.

On the second sitting, he scored even higher marks.

When God touches your brain, He gives you a retentive memory that would make you excellent in your studies.

However, a you have a role to play because God will retain for you what you have.

In other words, you have to fill your brain with something.

To excel academically, study after every class (not when the examination is two weeks away) in a place free of any distractions such as television, music and noise.

Avoid cramming, rather, after reading a topic, write what you have read to know how much information you have been able to retain.

Eat good food, sleep at the right time and spend less time on social media.

After this, commit everything to God the Giver of excellent brains.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 23 MARCH 2021 PRAYER POINT

Lord, please touch my brain and make me more excellent in my studies.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 MARCH 2021 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 26:13-16

13. The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

14. As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

15. The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

Idleness is a state of being lazy or inactive and God dislikes it.

There is a common saying that an idle hand is the devils workshop.

In life, no vacuum is permitted, so, if you’re not busy doing something reasonable, the devil will give you an assignment to carry out.

Idleness opens the door for the devil to bring sinful suggestions to your heart to make you stray.

Idle people are tagged busybodies who take delight in poking their noses in other peoples businesses.

They are not willing to do anything that is productive.

As a son and daughter of God, rather than stay idle when you are on holiday, learn a new a skill and practice it.

There are several other activities you can do when you are less busy with school activities; read good books, cook a new dish, develop a new app, join a godly social club anchored on good will, volunteer in programmes, attend good seminars and conferences.

Don’t become a tool in the hand of the devil, don’t be idle.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 MARCH 2021 KEY POINT

Whatever good your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.

6. But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

7. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

8. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 MARCH 2021 MESSAGE

It is possible that even after being born again for a number of years, a person could backslide and not even notice.

There are many people who attend Church regularly but actually belong in the camp of the devil.

The devil does not hinder this category of people from going to Church because he knows that if he does, the brethren will follow them up and snatch them from him.

Hence, this set of people would appear to still be standing in faith, whereas they had long fallen.

What are some of the signs that would show if you are already backsliding?.

The first sign of backsliding is the sudden realisation that the joy of salvation you once had is gone.

If you can remember those early days when you just became born again, how you used to bubble with joy, and somehow, that joy is no longer there, check your faith. David said in Psalms 51:12

“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”

David had clearly lost the joy he once felt when he was still standing.

If you go back to the sins you’ve forsaken, you would lose the joy of your salvation and sorrow will come.

Have you lost the joy of your salvation?

Do you still sing and radiate the same joy you once felt when you got born again? Hebrews 1:9 says:

“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

There is a link between righteousness and joy. The moment iniquity comes into your life, joy leaves and sorrow takes over.

If you have noticed the absence of joy in your life, check your salvation.

Another sign of backsliding is the departure of peace from the life of a believer.

One of the first things people experience when they give their lives to Christ is peace.

Philippians 4:7 calls it the peace of God that passes all understanding.

Even if the sea roars, the storm rages and the people around you are trembling, you will have peace like a river as long as you remain connected to the Prince of Peace.

However, the moment you begin to backslide, this divine peace departs even when everything looks all right around you.

Remember, there is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah 48:22).

OPEN HEAVEN 22 MARCH 2021 KEY POINT

Do you still feel the same peace and joy you did when you became born again? If not, cry to God for restoration now.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 MARCH 2021 MEMORIZE: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matthew 3:11

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 MARCH 2021 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 3:1-11

1. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

2. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4. And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

5. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

6. And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

9. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

10. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11. l indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 MARCH 2021 MESSAGE

A fore-runner is one or something that precedes the coming or development of another.

John the Baptist was the fore-runner of Jesus.

His job was to tell people about the coming of Jesus and he carried out the assignment perfectly as written in our Bible text for today.

He was called John the Baptist because he was known for baptizing those who listened to his call of repentance with water.

There are a lot of lessons to learn from the life of this great prophet.

One, he knew his purpose was to preach repentance and to fulfil this purpose, he had to stay in the wilderness, dress in a certain manner and be ona particular diet (locust and wild honey).

He never for once veered off his focus; he didn’t change his dressing or food.

My child, if you have to fulfil your purpose on earth, you need to shun distractions.

Two, John never compromised the truth even if it would lead to his death as it eventually did (Matthew 14:1-12).

If you still find it difficult to speak the truth, you need to borrow a leaf from John the Baptist.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 MARCH 2021 KEY POINT

Speak the truth even in the face of danger.

38. Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39. Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 MARCH 2021 MESSAGE

There is a scarcity of watchmen in the Church today.

This does not mean that there are no evangelists; the challenge however, is the scarcity of those who are actually preaching the word.

Many Christians enjoy Gods grace, forgiveness, healing, breakthrough, peace and joy from the preaching of others but fail to share this good news so more people can also benefit from Gods benevolence.

God does not want His children to be content worshipping only in beautiful Cathedrals, rather He wants us to go out and plant Churches – especially in areas where there are none or very few.

He wants us to share part of what we have been given.

For this reason, the Lord is re-echoing what He said through Paul to Timothy that we should preach the word when it is convenient and even when it is not (2 Timothy 4:2).

What makes our preaching worthwhile is when it contains reproof, rebuke, exhortation and sound doctrine.

Only by this will people know and be able to obey the word of God. John 7:16-17 says:

“Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself”

Todays Bible reading reveals a fundamental obligation of every genuine Christian which, unfortunately, is usually overlooked today.

A demon-possessed man encountered Jesus, and was immediately delivered.

After the encounter, the man wanted to stay with Jesus but He sent him forth to spread the good news among his people.

This is exactly what the Lord expects of us. This injunction, however, does not imply that we should forsake Jesus and do whatever we like. In John 15:4-5 , Jesus says:

“Abide in me, and I in you for without me ye can do nothing.”

At the same time, He also says Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15).

Therefore beloved, I encourage you to begin to spread the good news of what the Lord has done for you and what He is capable of doing for others as well.

May God help you as you obey Him.
