OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2021 MEMORIZE: For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Luke 8:17

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2021 BIBLE READING LUKE 12:1-3

1. In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

3. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

Many years ago, a man who had a chronic illness was advised to see me for prayers.

I prayed for him but nothing happened, so I asked God why that was so.

God told me to ask him about something he did at a particular stage of his life.

When I did, the man was shocked and opened up on secret he thought was well kept.

Several years before, he had committed a crime and was due to be convicted due to the testimonies of some witnesses.

He knew this, so he hatched a plan. Since the witnesses were to come to court by boat, he arranged for their boat to capsize and they all drowned.

He then made sure that all the people he sent to wreck their boat were all killed.

He was eventually acquitted of the initial crime and lauded himself for covering his tracks excellently.

It came as a shock to him seeing the incident spring up again.

Obviously, he did not know of God’s word in Proverbs 11:21 which says:

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

He thought the crimes he had covered, but there he was suffering the repercussions.

Everything you do today is a seed that will produce fruits in due time.

It does not matter how much you try to bury it, one day, it will spring forth and everyone will see the harvest of your secrets.

Stop stealing, stop committing adultery/fornication, stop watching pornography and put an end to every ungodly habit in your life today.

No matter how hard you try to hide these sinful acts the will be revealed someday.

Indeed, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.

In any case, the people you are pretending for don’t have the power to send you to heaven or hell.

Whatever they think of you does not affect your eternity.

The One who will judge you at the end of time knows even the thoughts of your heart, so stop pretending and start disciplining yourself to do the right thing always.

I would rather expose my sins to men and make it to Heaven than look holy to men and end up in hell.

Since I cannot hide my sins from God, I would rather not commit any sin at all.

Make up your mind to stay away from sin from today.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2021 KEY POINT

What will your gain if everyone thinks you are holy on earth and you end up in hell?

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2021 HYMN

HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS FOR THE CLEANSING POWER?

1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
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?

REFRAIN:
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
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?

4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
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!

MEMORISE: He that observeth the wind shall not sow: and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4

READ: Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 (NIV)

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build

READ HERE >> OPEN HEAVENS 5 JANUARY 2021

MESSAGE:

It’s a new year! I know that you have plans for the year: now is the time to start. There are reasons you must start now, one of which is to avoid wastage of time because if you don’t spend your time on your goals, you will spend it on frivolous activities that will profit you nothing.

Before you know it, we will be in the last quarter of the year and if you start then, you might not achieve all your goals for the year.

So, if you intend to learn a skill this year, now is the time to start. If you intend to write an examination this year, you need to do a reading timetable and start following it judiciously.

However, it will be impossible to start anything if you don’t have goals to achieve and a plan that would help you achieve them.

Therefore, ask yourself what you would like to achieve this year and make plans that will help you achieve your goals. Ensure that you evaluate your progress at the end of each day. Also, don’t forget God as you make your plans. Ask Him what He would have you do for Him this year.

KEY POINT: Start now, don’t delay.

HYMN 12

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4.I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 TUESDAY: ALL-ROUND FRUITFULNESS

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 MEMORIZE: Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. Deuteronomy 7:14

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 BIBLE READING GENESIS 1:26-28

26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

When the Lord asked Adam and Eve to be fruitful and to multiply in today’s Bible reading, He was not offering a piece of advice, rather He was issuing a command to be obeyed from generation to generation.

This, we can conclude that the failure to bear fruit is a direct transgression of this divine decree.

I pray for you today: The Lord will cause you to experience all-round fruitfulness this year in Jesus’ name.

Beloved, not only is God interested in your spiritual fruitfulness, He is also interested in your physical and material fruitfulness.

God desires that His children should live in divine prosperity. Jeremiah 17:7-8 says:

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters…her leaf shall be green…neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

If you have not given your life to Christ, before anything else, you need to first bear the fruit of repentance.

This was the same thing Jesus told the Sadducees in Matthew 3:8.

If however, you are already saved by grace, there are two categories of fruit you must bear this year.

The first is the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (Galatians 5:22-23).

The second category is the fruit of souls. You must be a committed soul-winner.

It is already dangerous for anyone not to be fruitful, however it is a lot more dangerous for a child of God.

This is because Jesus Christ says in John 15:2 that He will take away every branch in Him that does not bear fruit.

I pray that you will not be taken away because of fruitfulness in the mighty name of Jesus.

One advantage of soul-winning is guaranteed answers to prayer (John 15:16).

The reason the Lord had spared your life up until now is that He is hoping to see you bear fruit.

My prayer is that you will not disappoint God this year.

As you bear fruit, He will answer all your prayers speedily, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please cause me to only bear fruits that are pleasing to You this year and beyond, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2021 HYMN

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

REFRAIN:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops ’round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2. There shall be showers of blessing:
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3. There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, Oh Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honour Thy Word.

4. There shall be showers of blessing;
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now, as to God, we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 JANUARY 2021

MEMORISE: Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
READ: Matthew 18:23-35
[23]Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
[24]And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
[25]But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
[26]The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[27]Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
[28]But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
[29]And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[30]And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
[31]So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
[32]Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
[33]Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
[34]And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
[35]So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

MESSAGE:

As a child of God, forgiveness is not a choice. It is a command. Our memory verse for today says God will not forgive you if you don’t forgive others. Believe me, it may not be easy especially if the person has hurt you many times: you might find it hard to forget, but note that the bible says forgive.
Many years ago, before I became the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. I was offended by a pastor older than I, I felt very hurt and disappointed. God however, told me to apologise to him. Then I said, “He is the one who offended me, he should apologise to me instead”, but I obeyed.
When I apologised to the pastor, he said God saved me, if not, he would have dragged me along with him to hell. My child, there are people who are not ready to go to heaven and are ready to take many along Don’t let them take you to hell, forgive those who even intentionally hurt you. The easiest way to do this is to apologise even when you didn’t do wrong and pray for the fellow who offended you. (Matthew 5:44)
KEY POINT: For your own good, forgive over and over again.
HYMN 3: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
1. All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever low and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all.
I surrender all:
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.
4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JANUARY 2021 MESSAGE

A new year is a new dawn; it is a fresh opportunity to get things right.

Every new year and on every birthday of mine, I consider how far I have come in the assignments God has given me and I have candid conversations with God as to things yet undone.

Today, I challenge you to also spend time reflecting on how far you have come and see if you are really where God expects you to be at this time.

If you are lagging behind, then you must take advantage of this new dawn to put everything in its proper place so you can fulfil God’s expectations for your life.

Remove everything that has been holding you back and grab those things you know will help you move forward.

Look back at the mistakes you made in the past and learn from them; determine never to make them again.

Believe me, the fact that you made it to this year means God is giving you another opportunity to be closer to Him than ever before.

This year can mark a new dawn for you spiritually.

Decide today that this year, you will not miss any day of the Open Heavens Devotional as it will help you commune with God daily.

Determine that this year, you will spend and be spent for God.

Make a commitment to God that in this year you will please Him by preaching the gospel to every sinner you come across.

Promise God that you will fast and won’t let your flesh control you.

A new dawn also means the arrival of joy as we see in the Bible passage below:

For his anger endereth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. – (Psalm 30:5)

The year 2020 may have been very challenging and tough for you.

Perhaps you have lost a loved one, perhaps the COVID-19 pandemic affected your means of livelihood and things just didn’t go as you had planned.

I have good news for you: It’s a new dawn. You may have wept last year, but this year, you will experience joy.

As long as you live holy and serve the Lord, this will be your season of joy.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JANUARY 2021 HYMN

I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay,
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these
abound, my constant aim is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4. I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing shall resound
Lord lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And Heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
