OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2020 MEMORIZE: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28

OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2020 BIBLE READING JAMES 1:12-16

12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

13. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man;

14. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

16. Do not err, my beloved brethren.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

Every temptation that a fellow yields to will lead to a bigger one.

This is why many people are deep in sins they once vowed never to commit.

The fall happens slowly until the fellow is completely submerged in sin.

The devil lures believers into sin so as to destroy them. This is his goal.

To achieve this, he comes in subtle ways first, with thoughts and seemingly harmless sins, focusing on the heart.

He knows that if the heart can fall, it is only a matter of time before the body falls too. Proverbs 14:14 says:

“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways…”

Your spiritual destiny would be determined by your decision to either accommodate or expel the subtle suggestions of the devil.

When you start thinking of being in bed with a woman who is not your wife or you start spending money that is not your own, that is the devil trying to get you to fall, using your heart first.

The devil could also try to cut you away from the people who helped you grow in the faith.

When you consider the story of Samson, you will discover that he spent most of his time outside Israel.

If the devil can successfully separate you from people who helped you grow spiritually, and your prayer life begins to wax cold; before long, you would stop studying your Bible and start permitting sin in your life.

This is why you must never forsake the fellowship of the brethren (Hebrews 10:25, Proverbs 27:17).

You may have yielded to temptation in the past, the good news is that restoration is possible.

Though Samson fell, he was restored to the Lord before his death; so much so that he was listed among the fathers of faith in Hebrews 11. Proverbs 28:13 says:

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”

If you would confess your sins, forsake them and rededicate your life (for backsliders), God is willing to accept you.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 NOVEMBER 2020 KEY POINT

Check your life. Are you yielding to the lure of the devil already? God is able to restore you if only you would ask Him for help.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2020 MEMORIZE: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2020 BIBLE READING 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

Samson judged Israel for twenty years. He was an unusual child with wonderful parents (Judges 13:2-3).

He was brought up as a Nazarite (Numbers 6:1-21, Judges 13:7), and this meant he had to lead a life of consecration unto the Lord.

He was also a man of prayer (Judges 15:18 and 16:28), but he failed so terribly because he had not learnt to bring his body under subjection like Paul did (1 Corinthians 9:27).

Samson’s story is a strong warning to every Christian never to toy with sin. Imagine a Judge of Israel lying in Delilah’s lap.

Samson started sinking into sin little by little.

First, he fell in love with a strange woman (Judges 14:1-2, then disobeyed his parents when they told him he couldn’t marry her (Judges 14:3).

Later on, he slept with a prostitute (Judges 16:1) before he finally landed in Delilah’s lap.

Samson did not worry because his supernatural strength remained even while he was committing sin.

In fact, one day, He lifted the gates of the city and took them up a mountain just after sleeping with a prostitute (Judges 16:3).

He did not see a need for caution because despite his misdeeds, the anointing appeared to still be on him.

Little did he know that the devil was luring him to a place of no return.

Samson eventually landed in Delilah’s lap where he was afflicted and overpowered.

While with Delilah, there were several warning signs but he had gotten so deep into sin that he could not stop.

The devil lured Samson with seemingly harmless sins until he lost his strength, sight and purpose in life. Ezekiel 18:20 says:

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die”

Learn from Samson’s life: Those seemingly harmless sins you are committing and getting away with are simply baits from the devil to encourage you to go deeper.

The devil is not stupid; he has planned a big downfall along the line.

You must stop those sins now before it becomes too difficult to do so.

Everything was okay for Samson years into when he started to fall, but in one night, he hit rock bottom.

Learn from Samson and make amends while you have the chance.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 NOVEMBER 2020 KEY POINT

Don’t be deceived; no sin is harmless. Every sin that goes unpunished is just an enticement towards damnation.

INTRODUCTION: This topic is an age-long message and because it has been preached often, most Christians these days are no longer taking it serious. By so doing, they are still struggling with their problems. These problems would have been long settled, if they have heeded and strictly adhered to this instruction and admonition from God

THE BENEFITS OF PRAISING GOD:
There are a lot of benefits attached when we decide from the depth of our hearts to praise God, not paying lips service (i.e. not praising Him in spirit. – John 4:23-24), then God will inevitably show up. – 2 Chronicles 20:22

THESE ARE THE BENEFITS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THESE ALONE:
(i) God will discomfit all your enemies. – 2 Chronicles 20:23-24
(ii) Wealth immediately changes hands. – 2 Chronicles 20:25
(iii) Prison’s gates and doors open on their own accord. – Acts 16:25-26
(iv) You will increase in all sides. – Psalm 67:5-6
(v) Unbelievers around you will begin to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. – Acts 16:28-31 etc.

CONCLUSION:
Our today’s memory verse says that God inhabits the praises of His people. What is ‘inhabits’? The meaning is that God ‘dwells’ where His people are praising Him. Inferably, this means that when you praise God, your life immediately and automatically becomes God’s dwelling place (it is heaven on earth). However this will not happen if you are not living holy. – 1 Peter 1:15

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank Him for the salvation of your soul.
2. Father, in anyway I have been doubting your word, please show me Your mercy.
3. Let sacrifices of praise fill the air in all our parishes.
4. Father, make the walls of Daddy G.O. praise and make his gates praise salvation.
5. Our individual prayer today is: Lord, fill my lips with Your praises.

BIBLE PASSAGE: HEBREW 4:14-16

INTRODUCTION: Just as we cannot stop bird from flying over our heads but can stop them from nesting in our hair, so also can we not stop temptation from coming.

However, we need not to accept them or allow them to take a stronghold. The consequence of yielding to temptation can be disastrous whereas resisting it births victory.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. THE RESULTS OF TEMPTATION
2. HOW CAN ONE OVERCOME?

THE RESULTS OF TEMPTATION

There are two possible outcomes of temptation. We either yield to it or we resist it and overcome. If a Christian yield to temptation, it becomes sin (1Tim. 6:9). The result then is that the Christian’s testimony is badly affected and he becomes spiritual weak (Matt. 26:41).

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 22 NOVEMBER 2020

If the temptation is resisted, the lord is glorified and the Christian grows spiritually stronger (in faith and maturity) and will be able to resist other temptation in the future (James 1:4). God is happy because the determination of the Christian to obey him is confirmed (Gen. 22:15-18)

HOW CAN ONE OVERCOME?

There are several ways of overcoming temptations. We shall mention some of them:

1. We can rely on God’s faithfulness (1Cor. 1:9, 1Cor. 10:13) and on Jesus Christ who is constantly praying for us (Luke 22:31-32).

2. By memorising, meditating and recalling the word of God like Jesus did in Matt. 4

3. By constant prayer and carefulness (Matt. 26:41).

4. By fleeing (2Tim. 2:22). When Joseph found himself cornered by potiphar’s wife, he fled.

5. By resisting (James 4:7). Stay strong in the lord and not yield to sin (Eph. 6:10).

CONCLUSION
Avoid falling into temptation whenever it comes. To fall is easy but the scars often remain. Remember, we can do all things through Christ, including resisting temptations.

QUESTIONS
1. List four possible ways of escape from temptation?
2. What are the result of temptation?

OPENING PRAYER
Father, give me strength to resist temptation

MEMORY VERSE: “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted”. — HEBREW 2:18

PERSONAL DAILY CONFESSION: I confess today, all things are under my feet, and I reign and rule with Christ Jesus. I’m a citizen of Zion. I live from the mountaintop. I dwell and function in the realm of light, where all I see are miracles, victories, prosperity, divine health, and testimonies. The life of God makes me extraordinary and untouchable. Glory to God! Let someone shout Hallelujah!
