MEMORISE: He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right. Isaiah 7:15

READ: ISAIAH 7:14-16

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.

16 But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.

MESSAGE:

Food is necessary for growth. According to biology, any child that does not feed well will have a medical condition known as kwashiorkor’.

This is characterised by a big head, long thin legs and arms. Such a child can never make good decisions. So, what a fellow feeds on is very important. An adage says “The height a bird can attain is a result of what it
feeds on.”

In the same vein, a malnourished child of God can be easily identified by the wrong decision he or she makes.

Our memory verse for today tells us the relationship between food and the choices one makes. It says: “Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.”

So, the butter and honey believers ought to feed on is the word of God. In fact, to have a balanced diet, you need to add fervent prayer, spirit led worship and fellowship with the
brethren.

Any child that has these will definitely make good decisions and achieve great things in life because the Holy Spirit will be his or her guide.

KEY POINT:
Your actions are determined by your spiritual diet.

HYMN 6: BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD

1. Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

2. Breathe on me, Breath of God:
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

3. Breathe on me, Breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

4. Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

PRAYER POINTS

I worship and adore, You, my Father, for being the source and the architect of my life; there is nothing I can lay claim to, in life, that has not been given to me by You, from above.

Thank You, Father, for first loving me, in that while I was yet a sinner, You gave Your only son, Jesus, to die for me.

Thank You, Jesus, for leaving all Your glory in heaven, to come as a little child, into this world, in order to deliver me from the bondage of sin and eternal death, in hell fire.

Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me, in Jesus’ name.

Father, empower me to reciprocate Your love for me, by loving You, with all my heart, soul and mind; let Your love supersede that of any other thing or creature in my life, in Jesus’ name.

Father, let nothing be too dear, costly, valuable or expensive, to me, to sacrifice or surrender for Your use and for the expansion of Your kingdom, in Jesus’ name.

Father, empower me to always seek, first, Your kingdom and Your righteousness; and, as I do, let all things that I require to excel in life, be added unto me, in Jesus’ name.

Father, give me the grace to obey You, rather than men, and empower me to carry my cross, daily and habitually, and follow You, in Jesus’ name.

Father, let me be willing to leave my comfort zone, like Jesus did, to serve You, even, in the remotest part of the world, as a mark of my love for You, in Jesus’ name.

Father, bless your son, Pastor E.A.Adeboye; thank You, Father, for the abundance of Your grace upon his life , ministry and family.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

‘RA’ in our equation for Resistance in the “Mathematics of Christ in You” (MCY) series which we started on January 11, stands for Rebellion against Authority.

Some ‘Christians’ feel they are too big to do God’s work because they are educated.

Some refuse to obey their Father-in-the-Lord and still expect to get the best from him.

Listen, nothing can flow from him until you submit to his authority.

There is a difference between submission and cooperation.

You cooperate when the instruction is convenient, but submit whether it is convenient or not.

Some ‘believers’ resist the authority of the government, their supervisors or spouses.

Christ cannot dwell in rebellious souls. Rebellion is as witchcraft. (1 Samuel 15:23) says:

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…

It is better not to make any sacrifices to God than to do so in disobedience. You should not pay your tithe and refuse to pay your tax.

For example, when you knowingly break traffic laws because you want to get to Church early, God will not accept that kind of sacrifice.

No matter how big you are, you have a leader.

If you are the General Overseer of your Church, the President of the association of Christian leaders to which you belong is your leader.

If you are the president of the Christian Association in your country, there is a president of the land who (1 Peter 2:17) says you must honour.

If you are the president of your country, there is a union of Presidents in your continent and that union has a leader you are expected to obey.

On the other hand, a President can have a Father-in-the-Lord he is to submit to, just like the King of Israel who called Elisha “My father” In (2 Kings 6:21-23).

The Father-in-the-Lord too could have leaders he must continue to honour, no matter how great he has become.

If you look very closely, you would see that there is an authority figure you are to submit to even if you are a ‘big man’ in your own right.

If you rebel against those God has put in authority over you, then Christ cannot dwell and operate in you as He would want to.

…We ought to obey God rather than men. – Acts 5:29

The ‘F in our equation for Resistance in the “Mathematics of Christ in You” (MCY) series that we started on January 11, stands for Family Ties.

As difficult as it sounds, if Christ is going to operate freely in you, some family ties would have to suffer, as we see in today’s memory verse.

What Jesus was saying is that your love for Him, relative to what you feel for your family, should be incomparable.

When God told Abraham to sacrifice his son who he loved, Abraham wasted no time in trying to do so.

Of course, God only wanted to find out what Abraham’s choice would be if he had to choose between Him and his son.

I once had a similar experience. As the youngest and only male child of my mother, I had a close relationship with her.

Before I met Christ, I would always spend Christmas with her.

However, after joining the Redeemed Christian Church of God and becoming a Pastor, I had to spend my Christmas instead at the Christ The Redeemer’s Congress.

One particular year, we were going to have the programme at Ijebu Igbo, Nigeria.

Since I would not be around during Christmas, I decided to visit my mother on December 23rd to tell her I would see her after the programme.

On getting there, I found that she was dying. I was in a dilemma; the programme had to start in two days.

I was one of the organisers yet no one in the Church knew where I had gone, and there were no mobile phones in those days.

It was a difficult choice, but I said to my mother “You know I love you and would love to stay by your side, but I have to go because Jesus is calling”.

Thank God for good mothers, she made it easy for me. She said “My son, I understand. I can already see your involvement with Jesus Christ”. She then prayed for me.

I thought it was going to be our last conversation; it turned out to be a test by God because she lived for another eleven years.

From the report I received, even before I got to ljebu lgbo she had recovered.

God wanted to find out who I would choose if I had to make a decision between Him and my mother who I loved so much.

Nothing, not even family ties should come between you and God.

OPEN HEAVEN 19 JANUARY 2021 KEY POINT

God must come first in every aspect of your life. Nothing, not even family ties should be placed before Him.

OPEN HEAVEN 19 JANUARY 2021 HYMN

IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No gift in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the love of Christ I’ll stand.

MEMORISE: Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:14

READ: PSALM 34:12-14

12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 18 JANUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

1 Thessalonians 5:22 says we should abstain from all appearances of evil. The key word here is appearances; that is, something that looks harmless but is not good.

My child, anything that is not good is bad. So, there is nothing like ‘it’s not so bad. This is why the Bible didn’t say evil, it says ‘appearances.

An appearance of evil may be wrong advice from a friend or classmate. Whenever you are advised to do anything that is capable of breaking your relationship with God, you should flee.

For instance, if you are a girl and a boy keeps disturbing you that he wants to be your friend, you need to be careful. If a boy or a girl likes talking to you in privacy or in secluded places, you need to run.

If you must walk with God, you have to avoid the appearances of evil and evil itself. Hence, you should not be comfortable in the company of those who are not godly.

PRAYER POINT: Father, please give me the grace to recognize evil from a distance and flee.

HYMN 9: I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine O Lord
I have heard Thy voice
And it told Thy love to me
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord
By the pow’r of grace divine
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend.

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

OPEN HEAVEN 18 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

We have been treating the “Mathematics of Christ In You’” (MCY) since January 11.

The ‘B’ in our equation for Resistance stands for Bitterness.

If you refuse to forgive those who have offended you, you are only multiplying your suffering because the fellow who offended you is going on with his or her life yet you are suffering spiritually.

It is like stopping to rant at someone who sped past your car at a traffic light. You are only delaying yourself further.

I quickly forgive those who offend me because I don’t want to get myself into trouble.

I cannot allow bitterness to disconnect me from God. Hebrews 12:15 says:

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Unforgiveness can defile you and lead to some very serious sicknesses too.

There was a man who was bloating. The doctors could not find anything wrong, so he came to the Church.

God revealed that the man had some restitution to make.

We eventually found that this man chose not to forgive his son-in-law.

When he was going to give out his daughter in marriage, he made the young man promise to take good care of her.

Unfortunately, the boy started beating the wife. Her father pleaded with him but things only got worse.

One day, the husband fired a gun at his wife but missed narrowly.

That was when the man asked his daughter to leave finally; however he swore to never forgive the boy and to deal with him.

The man was told that he had to forgive, and in fact, according to Matthew 18:15, he had to be the one to go to the son-in-law.

The man went because he wanted to be healed. As he reached his son-in-law’s house, the young man tried to escape.

The man however said “I have not come to fight, I have come to beg you. I have forgiven you and I want you to do the same”.

As they hugged and wept, the man who had been bloated suddenly reduced in size to such an extent that his wedding ring dropped from his finger to the ground. He was healed!

Forgive, so you can be free.

OPEN HEAVEN 18 JANUARY 2021 KEY POINT

Stop punishing yourself; forgive everyone who has offended you.

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2. Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear;
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer.

3. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

4. Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

5. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

6. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
