THEME: TRUE WORSHIPPERS

MEMORISE: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. JOHN 4:24

READ: JOHN 4:23-24
23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

MESSAGE:

The worship session is the most important part of any meeting with God. In fact worship is a meal that God enjoys so much. Sadly, it has been taken for granted not only by the congregation, but also by the choristers.

These days, people would rather concentrate on the melody of the song and the sonorous voice of the worship leader than the lyrics and the message of the song.

A beautiful voice is not the qualification to be in the choir. If you lead worship and the presence of God is not felt, you are not different from a talented singer.

A true worshipper is one who worships God in spirit and truth because he or she has been baptised by the Holy Spirit. Any worship outside the Holy Spirit is mere entertainment.

It is therefore important that every believer is baptised by the Holy Spirit because it is only then that we can give God acceptable worship.

KEY POINT: Who are you modeling your life after?

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME!

1.All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

2.Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod.
And crown Him Lord of all.

3.Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race.
A remnant weak and small,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.

4.Ye Gentile sinners, ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.

5.Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 FEBRUARY 2021 MESSAGE

Many people see God as a magician. They come to Him only when they need to see a ‘magic trick’; though they say what they want is a miracle.

Such people want to live anyhow they like, yet have God perform miracles for them whenever they need it.

I laugh When I encounter such people.

Jesus said that God is our Father and I know He prefers to be addressed as such.

If you don’t believe me, read Matthew 6:9.

He taught His disciples to pray saying “Our Father” God wants man to fellowship with Him for who He is and not just for the miracles they can get from Him.

Think about it, if God created man with the sole purpose of seeking Him for miracles, then the Garden of Eden would not have had everything man needed to survive.

If you don’t have a relationship with God and you don’t fellowship with Him regularly, then He is not your Father.

His miracles are for His children only, so don’t bother coming to Him for miracles.

The funny thing is that when sinners come to God just for miracles, they question His power when they don’t get it.

The problem however is with them and not God. The Bible says:

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: – (Psalm 66:18)

Years ago, a woman was told that I have a special anointing for making the barren fruitful, so she attended one of our Conventions.

In those days, we were not so many so could lay hands on everybody with ease.

When she came, I laid hands on her and she fell under the anointing.

One year later, she returned complaining that in spite of my prayers, she was still barren.

I was going to pray for her again when the Lord said, “Ask her how many boyfriends she has.”

If I didn’t know the voice of God, it would have been difficult to ask because she was a rich and powerful woman.

I mustered some courage and said “Errm… how many boyfriends do you have, Ma?” “Six” she answered.

I then said “You have a husband and you also have six boyfriends. How then can you expect the Holy One of Israel to give you a child?”.

My Father’s miracles are only for His children. Are you His child?.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 FEBRUARY 2021 KEY POINT

To qualify for a miracle, you must live a holy life.

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

32. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33. And they made their father drink wine that night; and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35. And they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! – (Habakkuk 2:15)

Not only is it sinful to drink alcohol, it is also sinful to offer it to others.

I used to think it was all right to give alcohol to other people to drink as long as I was not drinking it until my Father-in-the-Lord preached that it was wrong and he backed it up with the Bible passage above.

The day I heard that message, I got rid of all the alcoholic drinks I kept at home for entertaining visitors because I didn’t want a curse on my head.

In those days, I had friends who were sailors, and whenever they travelled, they brought me all kinds of alcoholic drinks.

Some of my other friends knew this and always visited whenever they wanted a drink.

Whenever they arrived, they would say “We can’t pass the house of the king without saying hello to him”.

Little did I know that I was the ‘King’ of alcohol. I thank God that I am now well known for soul winning and holiness.

Habakkuk 2:15 says if a person knows the dangers of alcohol and avoids it, but still gives it to others, then woe unto that person.

As such, when you are organising a party and some people are suggesting that you serve alcohol even though you don’t drink, tell them that you don’t want any curse on yourself.

If you truly love your neighbours and relatives, you would be persuading them to stop taking alcohol, not offering it to them. The Bible says:

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. – (Proverbs 31:6)

Are your relatives and friends ready to perish?, Do you want to be a tool in the hand of the devil to make anyone perish?.

If your answer is ‘no’ then you shouldn’t offer anyone alcohol.

When Lot’s daughters offered their father alcohol, they thought they were doing him good, but their ill-conceived decision later on created enemies for Israel (Genesis 19:37-38).

OPEN HEAVEN 27 FEBRUARY 2021 KEY POINT

Offering alcohol to people will bring a curse upon you and ultimately lead to their destruction.

O LORD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1. O Lord, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Your arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting You are God,
To endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in Your sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

5. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downward by your flood,
And lost in following years.

6. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

7. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come:
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

THEME: YOU NEED A ROLE MODEL

MEMORISE: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

READ: 1 Samuel 22:1-2
[1]David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
[2]And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

READ >> OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

A role model is a coach who trains a follower on a certain aspect of life life generally. I remember when was a young boxer, I learnt some major Tactics from a man called Mohammed Alli.

He usually targeted the face of his opponents and if the fellow managed to reach the final stage, Alli would give him a jab to knock him out. This experience has also helped me when fighting spiritual battles. I know that I must keep fighting till I knock the enemy (Satan) out.

You can’t go through life alone, else, you will become overwhelmed. You need someone who has gone through what you are presently experiencing and would be able to guide you.

Having a role model will make it easier to get through difficult situations at this stage, choose a suitable career and make wise decisions.

The experiences you will gather from your role model will affect your life positively or negatively. In your quest for role model therefore, you must be guided by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the best role model anyone can have. Human beings are limited and can make errors; if you follow them rigidly, you may copy their errors but with Jesus, you can never go wrong.

KEY POINT: Who are you modeling your life after?

HYMN 13: I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me.
He’s the fairest
of ten thousand to my soul;
The lily of the Valley,
in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse
and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
in trouble He’s my stay,
He tells me every care
on Him to roll: (Hallelujah!)

Chorus:
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the Fairest of ten thousand
to my soul.

2. He all my griefs has taken,
and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong
and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken,
and all my Idols torn,
From my heart, and now
He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely
reach the goal, (Hallelujah!)

3. He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith,
and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear;
With His manna,
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory,
to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight
shall ever roll (Hallelujah!).

OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2021 MESSAGE

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. – Proverbs 20:1

The Bible says it is only fools who take alcohol.

Alcohol makes a fool of anyone who consumes it, so much that the drunkard standing on solid ground can begin to think he is sleeping in the middle of the sea.

He would think he is lying on a bed. Imagine such mockery.

“Oh, I just want to take a little; I can’t get drunk: I know how to control myself.”

No one starts drinking with the intention of misbehaving and acting foolish. It starts with looking at the drink and desiring it.

The moment you start desiring it, you are already treading close to the trap of the devil and you will soon fall if you don’t take your eyes and mind off it.

If you know that you struggle with taking alcohol, why would you go for a meeting in a bar? You are only tempting yourself.

If you want to stop drinking, then you have to overcome the fear of losing the friends who drink with you.

When I met Christ and stopped drinking, I lost friends because whenever they visited me, I offered them soft drinks instead of the assorted alcoholic beverages we used to drink.

I lost friends, but God replaced them with many brothers and sisters in Him. Proverbs 31:4 says:

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: In other words, the one who drinks cannot make clear decisions.

If a person cannot make good decisions, how then would such a person excel in life?.

How would he or she become great and fulfil destiny?.

If you want to achieve greatness in life and have all your dreams come true, you have to let go of alcohol.

How do you stop taking alcohol? Stop looking at it. Don’t look at the drink or it’s container at all.

Don’t watch the adverts, don’t spend time around people who drink or talk about alcohol.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like serpent, and stingeth like an adder. – (Proverbs 23:31-32)

Abstain from alcohol, it ruins destinies.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2021 KEY POINT

Alcohol has nothing else to offer the drinker but evil. Flee from it.

Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day;
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.

[19]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

MESSAGE:

Smoking is an addictive habit that is dangerous not only to the smoker but also to Those around him or her. It is also a sin that God detests. I know you are thinking that it is not true because it was not mentioned in the Bible.

Well, I can prove it to you.
Based on research, health practitioners have proven that many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer et cetera are associated with smoking cigarettes.

Smoking also damages the blood vessels by making them grow narrower and thicker which can lead to high blood pressure. Smoking cannabis, marijuana or weed is even worse. This leads to psychiatric issues due to its addictive nature.

Now, God made us perfectly; when you do any of these, you damage the body He gave you and that is a sin. If for instance, you are meant to live for ninety years and you end up living for forty years, you have shortened your life span, thereby, reducing the degree of impact you are supposed to have on earth.

You will also end up not fulfilling your purpose on earth. You can stop smoking, no matter how deep you are into it. Repent today and ask for help from a godly counsellor and the Holy Spirit.

KEY POINT: Whoever shortens his lifespan on earth has committed suicide and committing suicide is a sin.

HYMN 20: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. 1 we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
For the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
