OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 NOVEMBER 2020 MEMORIZE: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Romans 8:16

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 NOVEMBER 2020 BIBLE READING ROMANS 8:14-16

14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

An heir apparent is a bonafide prince born to a King and has the right to the throne of his father.

As children of God, we are joint heirs with Christ. That is, we have certain privileges as a result of adoption through Christ.

This also means that we have access to all that God made available to Jesus while He was on earth.

As an heir, you have moved from the level of servanthood to sonship in Christ.

However, the extent of your relationship with Christ will determine your access to divine information.

When you are an heir to the heavenly kingdom, you will have access to divine secrets.

Daniel was not a King in Babylon, but as an heir to God’s kingdom, he had access to secrets and saw the reign of about three Kings.

In the same vein, Joseph came to Egypt as a slave, but he was relevant and reigned with Kings.

A good study of the lives of these two heroes of faith tells us that some things are expected of whoever wants to be a joint heir with Christ.

First, you must have absolute faith in God. You must submit totally to the will of God and you must dare to be different.

Joint heirs with Christ don’t toy will sin. Dear child, wake up. You are not here on earth for jokes.

You are here for a divine and unique purpose which requires clogged determination and hard work to fulfill.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 NOVEMBER 2020 KEY POINT

If the Spirit of God does not bear witness in you, you are not yet an heir.

1. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2. And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

Excellence is the attainment of the highest level of perfection in anything you do. It means performing in a class of your own.

Excellence takes hard work, it entails going the extra mile, and it means setting a goal to be achieved at an appointed time and surpassing that goal even before the expiration of the given time frame.

Those who flock with people who are not focused cannot be excellent.

This is what Daniel and the three Hebrew boys understood at a tender age in a strange land, so they separated themselves from others.

They remained focused and then became a force to be reckoned with.

However, the spirit of excellence makes you achieve feats that others wouldn’t dare.

This is because the spirit of excellence is from God.

When you spend time in the presence of God, you will be a carrier of His presence which will make you different from others.

His presence will also give you understanding of deep things.

This would make you excellent in all that you do. Do you want to excel? Be like Daniel.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 NOVEMBER 2020 PRAYER POINT

Father, as I spend quality time in your presence, give me the spirit of excellence.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

As Christians, you must be careful when making the choice of who to disciple you.

Success in a discipline is not enough reason for anyone to qualify as your coach and mentor.

The first thing you should consider is the spirituality of the fellow – how is his/her relationship with God? (2 Corinthians 6:14) says:

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”

You must also be sure that the vision of the person’s life aligns with yours.

A close look at all the people God paired together for a discipleship relationship in the Bible will reveal that both had similar assignments – Samuel and Eli, Elisha and Elijah, Joshua and Moses, David and Solomon, Timothy and Paul among others.

Allow God to lead you before approaching anyone to coach and mentor you.

After choosing a coach and mentor, always remember that no matter how great he/she is, the fellow is not God.

Whatever he/she says must be first sifted through the word of God before you adopt it.

My Father-in-the Lord always told us to ignore whatever he said that did not have a biblical backing.

You must be submissive to your coach and mentor, regardless of how much smaller he/she appears to be.

My Father-in-the-Lord was not educated, whereas I had a PhD in Mathematics.

When he said “Jump” I jumped the highest I could, without analysing his instruction with my PhD brain.

As long as whatever he said was in line with the word of God, I did it without asking questions.

You may even be more modern than your coach and mentor, still your obedience and submission must always be total in alignment with the word of God.

Lastly, ensure you pray for your disciples as well (Hebrews 13:18). He that watereth should be watered also (Proverbs 11:23).

OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2020 KEY POINT

Let God choose your coach and mentor for you. Allow the word of God provide guidance in the relationship.

Take all my guilt away,

Pure, warm and changeless be

And grief around me spread,

Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

When death’s cold sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,

OPEN HEAVEN 9 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE

Availability is a key element in discipleship. A coach must always be there to answer questions and give advice.

As a coach, you should always answer or return your coachees’ calls.

Find time to be with them, even if it means taking them along with you on trips or to events.

Just make sure you are always there for them.

There are certain things to consider before agreeing to coach and mentor someone.

First, only coach and mentor people whose company you can enjoy.

As we saw in our memory verse today, the first reason Jesus chose disciples was for them to keep Him company, and of course, also to work with Him.

It also shows that Jesus had seen great potential in the disciples and knew that as they worked with Him, they would become better.

Don’t coach and mentor someone in whom you have not seen any potential.

This is because it is that potential that will drive you to make sacrifices for that fellow.

Don’t just coach and mentor someone because he/she is a relative; choose who you coach and mentor carefully.

You should also know that your followers are not slaves.

Others may exploit their followers but as a Christian, you must follow Jesus example.

He washed the feet of His disciples and even told them clearly in John 15:15:

“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

Asides from that being the right thing to do, it will also model humility to them.

However, Christian disciples must not take their disciplers’ humility for granted. Give honour to whom honour is due (Romans 13:7).

Christ’s discipleship model should be the standard for all Christians.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 NOVEMBER 2020 KEY POINT

Adopt Jesus Christs model of discipleship in grooming those the Lord has put in your care.

Nearer to Thee;
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou send’st to me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me

Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!

5. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!
