OPEN HEAVEN 11 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

God wants you to be involved in winning souls. That is why He did not take you to Heaven immediately after you became born again.

Like Christ, your aim should be to seek and to save that which is lost (Luke 19:10).

May God enable you to fulfil that Heavenly mandate in the mighty name of Jesus.

The world may regard great scholars, powerful rulers and rich business tycoons as wise; however, Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, says in today’s memory verse that he who wins souls is wise. “… and he that winneth souls is wise.”

Proverbs 11:30 If winning of souls is wisdom, then the refusal to win souls is definitely foolishness.

If as a preacher you don’t win souls, you are in the category of the foolish.

While you may never get on the pulpit, if your lifestyle makes a sinner accept Jesus, you are in the category of the wise.

Everything you do must point people to Jesus.

You may be an usher, chorister or even a member of the prayer band; you are not wise until you engage in the best occupation on earth to seek and to save that which is lost.

What is the wisdom in souI-winning?.

While every human achievement and reward will be left behind when we leave this world, souls are everlasting; they will live forever in eternity.

There is no occupation more noble than plucking souls from the path to hell and transporting them safely to Heaven.

Soul-winning glorifies God and guarantees you a great legacy.

All of God’s creation glorify Him but none more so than a new creature made in the image of Christ. It takes wisdom to win souls.

So many things keep souls in the bondage of the devil pride, lust, the pleasures of this world, unbelief and so on.

It takes divine wisdom to be deliberate about leading others to Christ.

May you receive grace to be wise, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 11 OCTOBER 2020 KEY POINT

Are you amongst the wise who win souls or the foolish who do not?

OPEN HEAVEN 11 OCTOBER 2020 HYMN

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 FOR TEENS 11 OCTOBER 2020 SUNDAY: TEMPERANCE

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 OCTOBER 2020 MEMORIZE: Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Philippians 4:5

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 OCTOBER 2020 BIBLE READING GALATIANS 5:22-23

22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, Joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 11 OCTOBER 2020

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

Temperance is an indispensable quality every child of God must possess. It is a fruit of the Spirit.

It means to subject your body under the leading of the Holy Spirit.

After our wedding over fifty years ago, my wife and I agreed that the both of us must not be angry at the same time.

One day, while travelling from Ilesa to Lagos, something made her angry. She started talking and I also became angry.

But I was trapped in the car because I was the one driving.

To avoid an outburst which would break our agreement, I stopped the car, parked on the road and started walking back to Ilesa leaving her and our baby.

Having walked some miles, I stopped by a village, bought some fruits, ate some and took some back to her as peace offering.

Little did I know that she was already afraid when I didn’t return on time, but when she saw me, her fears died down and so did the matter.

If you still have a problem dealing with anger, you need to work on yourself. You can control that temper. Psalms 119:165 says:

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”

The bible also says that anger rests in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9). Don’t be a fool!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 OCTOBER 2020 PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the grace to subject my body to the leading of the Holy Spirit as from today.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 OCTOBER 2020 SATURDAY: FEAR OF THE LORD

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 OCTOBER 2020 MEMORIZE: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:11

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 OCTOBER 2020 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 9:10-12

10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

12. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

READ >> OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We can then deduce that any fellow who doesn’t fear God lacks wisdom.

The Bible gives us examples of those who are wise because they feared God.

Joseph is one of them. His response to Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39:9 clearly shows this:

“There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

Another example is the three Hebrew boys who refused to bow down to the image of Nebuchadnezzar even after a decree had been made that whosoever refuses to bow at the sound of the trumpet would be thrown into the fiery furnace.

Their response to the kings questioning attests to who they fear.

”But if not, be it known unto you, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up. Daniel 3:18″

If you fear God, you will not do anything against His will and you will be endowed with wisdom.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 OCTOBER 2020 KEY POINT

The fear of God will make you flee from sin.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 SATURDAY: BANISH ANXIETY

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 MEMORIZE: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 BIBLE READING LUKE 12:22-31

22. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24. Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them; how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25. And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26. If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27. Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

29. And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

It is human nature to worry about personal welfare and that of our loved ones, but as Christians, this should not be our lifestyle because God has told us to be anxious about nothing (Philippians 4:6).

Fear reaches deep into our consciousness, making it very difficult to shake off. When anyone allows it, the door to stress becomes open, leading the way for many diseases, some of which can become fatal.

Today’s Bible reading tells us how God wants us to live worry-free. He wants us to rest in the knowledge that He is in charge.

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:” – Matthew 6:27-28

Can you answer the question above? Can you add one inch to your height by worrying? The answer is NO. If you cannot change the situation by worrying, why not put that energy into praying and getting rest from the presence of God?

I was only thirty-nine years old when I became the General Overseer of the RCCG. One day, while combing my hair, I noticed some grey strands and asked Lord why am I having grey hair?

He replied Are you not the one who is always worried about the Church? It is my Church; stop worrying. From that day, I left everything in His hands.

The grey strands of hair disappeared and the Church has been marching forward a lot faster than when I was worrying. My anxiety added nothing to the Church but my surrendering to God added everything.

Worrying magnifies the problem because what you focus on will always get bigger. From now, focus on God, on His omnipotence and very soon, you will see the end of that problem.

Nothing is too difficult for God to handle (Jeremiah 32:27).

Turn over all your cares to Him today and He will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19).

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 KEY POINT

Worry magnifies the problem. Worship magnifies your God who can solve all problems.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 OCTOBER 2020 HYMN

O LORD MY GOD

1. O Lord my God!
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all
The worlds Thy hands hath made
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow’r thro’out
The universe displayed.

CHORUS:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!

2. When through the woods
And forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;

3. And when I think
That God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross,
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin.

4. When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation,
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
My God, how great Thou art!

OPEN HEAVEN 9 OCTOBER 2020 FRIDAY: HEAVEN REJOICES

OPEN HEAVEN 9 OCTOBER 2020 MEMORIZE: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:7

OPEN HEAVEN 9 OCTOBER 2020 BIBLE READING LUKE 15:1-32

1. Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

2. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

3. And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4. What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

8. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

9. And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

10. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

11. And he said, A certain man had two sons;

12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.

17. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.

20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

22. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;

23. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry;

24. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

25. Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

26. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

27. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

28. And he was angry, and would not go in; therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

29. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends;

30. But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

31. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

32. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” – Hebrews 12:1

Hebrews 12:1 says we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses.

This means that the hosts of Heaven are constantly observing us and our actions on the earth.

Sadly, when they look down, most of what they see is sin.

Yes, once in a while, these clouds of witnesses see one or two people who surrender their lives to Christ and the whole of Heaven erupts in joy because of this one fellow.

This is why I use every opportunity to win souls to Christ; I want Heaven to rejoice always.

What about you?, When last did Heaven rejoice because you brought someone to Christ?.

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” – John 15:16

The statement Jesus made in the above verse is very logical.

First, God loves soul winners – so whatever they ask, He will give.

Imagine if someone who always makes you happy comes with a request.

Even if the father of the house wants to say no, every other person will speak up for him and say Daddy, we cannot say no to the request of this fellow, he is special to us in this family.

That is what happens when a soul winner prays.

The whole of Heaven will cooperate to ensure that the prayer is answered because you are constantly making them rejoice.

When we gather for services, Heaven doesn’t rejoice over the great sermon, music, communion or giving, rather in souls won.

Heaven will ask “Did anyone get saved?”

If you are saved, share the gospel to save others.

If you are yet to surrender all to Christ, do so now and there would be great rejoicing in Heaven over you.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 OCTOBER 2020 HYMN

HO, MY COMRADES! SEE THE SIGNAL

1. Ho, my comrades! see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory in nigh!

CHORUS:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to heaven,
“By Thy grace we will,”

2. See the mighty host advancing
Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over ev’ry foe!

4. Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near:
Onward comes our great commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 9 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

Some years ago in Lagos, a tragic accident occurred. The brakes of a heavy goods vehicle failed as it descended a hill.

It lost control and rammed into a series of shops by the roadside. Those inside and outside the shops lost their lives, at least 40 persons were reportedly dead on the spot.

Some sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital but did not recover. One of the survivors was an owner of one of the shops selling handset accessories. Before the accident, he sold an accessory to someone.

The buyer later returned with a policeman to arrest him for selling a bad accessory to him. They left the shop and crossed to the other side of the road waiting to board a taxi to the police station when the accident occurred.

They stood still as they watched it happen. Though the man did not enjoy being arrested, the incident was his saving grace.

When a seemingly negative event happens to a Child of God, it is for the good of that fellow.

So long as you are in right standing with God, whatever difficulty you or your family is going through right now is for your good.

Just continue to walk according to His purpose and He will bring you to a glorious future

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 9 OCTOBER 2020 HYMN

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

3. While life’s dark maze | tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
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,
A ransomed soul.
