OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 TUESDAY: THE UNCHANGING CHRIST

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 MEMORIZE: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 BIBLE READING JOHN 5:20-29

20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 MESSAGE

“For I am the Lord, I change not; Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6”

The statement above was made by God the Father and is representative of the entire God-head.

We live in very dynamic times, and this could make the future frightening, but there is hope for those who have faith in the Unchanging Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Everything can change but God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit will never change; neither will His standards.

“And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fail. Luke 16:17”

He said to those who are going into marriage whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery (Mark 10:11-12 ).

When the pharisees attempted to justify divorce from the point of view of the law of Moses, Jesus said: Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female. Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so (Matthew 19:4,8).

Whoever decides to flout this divine arrangement does so to his or her own peril, even though the consequence may not be immediate.

Reuben slept with his stepmother but the consequence surfaced after when he should have received blessings many decades from his father (Genesis 49:4 ).

May those things that we regard as inconsequential not prevent us from entering into the Kingdom of God in the mighty name of Jesus.

Gods standard does not change. Remember, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8).

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 HYMN

NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD

1. Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done
In whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms,
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love
And still is ours today.

2. O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever-joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
And keep us in His grace
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills.

3. All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Him Who reigns
With Them in highest heaven
The One Eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 JUNE 2020 BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: PROVERBS 22:1-29 , PROVERBS 23:1-35, PROVERBS 24:1-34

PROVERBS 22:1-29

1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

2 The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.

15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

PROVERBS 23:1-35

1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

PROVERBS 24:1-34

1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:

20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 JUNE 2020 WEDNESDAY: BE SEPARATE

MEMORIZE: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:17

BIBLE READING 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18

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

15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

MESSAGE

It is great to partner with the Most High God. However, there are certain conditions you must satisfy if you truly want to be Gods partner.

First, you must not partner with unbelievers to do evil. This is because you have been made righteous by the Blood of the Lamb and they havent had that privilege yet. You are light but they are darkness. Both cannot co-exist; one must displace the other.

The second divine partnership requirement is that you must come out from among unbelievers. I cannot see how a true child of God will be comfortably seated at a party organised by an unbeliever.

You know that you have been brought up in the way of the Lord, but you get to school and start frolicking with wayward children. This is unfortunate.

You are supposed to be the one they point to as an example of a well behaved child. You are royalty, you are a light.

Note that God promised to receive you when you separate yourself (2 Corinthians 6:17). Dont miss that divine reception!

KEY POINT

Watch the company you keep.

HYMN

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day.
Ye that are men, now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger.
And strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armour,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long:
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JUNE 2020 MEMORIZE: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Mark1:3

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JUNE 2020 BIBLE READING 2 KINGS 23:1-8

1. And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.

3. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

4. And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

5. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

6. And he brought out the grove from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

7. And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

8. And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JUNE 2020 MESSAGE

At various times in history, whenever the people of God appeared to have lost their spiritual antennae, God would usually raise a reformer to start off a revival.

In biblical terms, a reformer is a person ordained by God to carry out correctional changes in order to rectify ungodly practices.

May we yield ourselves to be used as reformers to ignite the fire of revival in the body of Christ today in the mighty name of Jesus.

Reformers include Josiah, Asa, and Hezekiah – kings who ruled over Israel at different times in history, as well as prophets Ezekiel, Ezra, Nehemiah and John the Baptist to mention a few.

The reformation of Asa – king of Judah is summarised in 1 Kings 15:12-13 thus:

“And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.”

True Christians who once pledged allegiance to God could afterwards turn back to live contrary to their avowed beliefs and declaration of faith.

Some people come to accept Jesus at the peak of their hopeless situations only to abandon Him after receiving divine solutions to their problems.

The Church is currently in a state of regression; many Christians are no longer living according to God’s word but rather, the standards of the world.

We the children of God must be reformers people who would do the right thing no matter the cost.

We must be people who will instruct fledgling and backslidden Christians, as well as unbelievers, to completely obey the word of God at all times.

God is seeking reformers; are you one?

Father, please help me to be a reformer in these end times, in the mighty name of Jesus.

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

21 There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

PROVERBS 20:1-30

1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.

11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.

13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.

24 Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

PROVERBS 21:1-31

1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS MAY 8 JUNE 2020: UNPROFITABLE INDEPENDENCE

MEMORIZE: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

BIBLE READING GENESIS 3:4-5

4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 8 JUNE 2020

MESSAGE

Dependency is one of the tenets of Christianity. As a Christian, you must depend
on God like a baby depends on his/her parents and let Him do things for you.

То any rational mind, this is a hard pill to swallow because we have been trained to be
independent. Being independent is a great virtue, but we must never count God as part of those we can be independent of.

No one can be independent of God and be what he or she was originally designed to be.

The sin Adam and Eve committed in the Garden of Eden was not just the sin of disobedience; it was a drift towards independence from God.

The devil told them to eat the fruit and ye shall be gods. In other words, Satan was telling them that they would discover that they are gods like God and dont need to continue taking orders from Him.

That was unfortunately the undoing of mankind. Thank God for Jesus. I do not oppose independence, but I am saying that no one can afford not to have God rule over them.

The day you decide to do without God, it means you have signed your death warrant.
You need God at every point in your life!.

Do all you can every day to maintain an intimate relationship with Him.

KEY POINT

If you depend on God, dependency on man
will be unnecessary.

HYMN

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way,
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away,
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay,
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

MEMORY VERSE: For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” Genesis 18:19
BIBLE PASSAGE: GENESIS 27:1-25
1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob’s voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
LESSON INTRODUCTION:
What is Parenting? Parenting refers to the process of nurturing, raising and training a child from infancy to adulthood. It involves parent-child relationship. Parenting involves moulding the character and behavioral pattern of children. Inculcating discipline in them and teaching them moral values. Parents play a great role in shaping up their children’s behaviour and personality. God expects parents to bring up children who will love Him, fear Him, obey Him and serve Him. Parents are the mirror that the children see and copy; it behooves on the parents to be perfect Christian models. Children learn a great deal from their parents.
TEXT REVIEW: GENESIS 27:1-25
i. We all are equal in God’s sight, so also should parent deal with their children.
ii. No sinner will go unpunished. Avoid parental sin.
iii. There is no justification for any type of sin.
iv. Your system of parenting should not be the cause of enmity, discord or hatred.
v. Adopt the God system of parenting.
LESSON OUTLINES
PARENTING SINS
Parenting sins need to be differentiated from parental sins.
Parental sins are wrongdoings or misdeeds and offences committed personally by either the father or the mother or both either before their marriage or within their marriage season.
Biblical example includes the sin of disobedience committed by Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:1-11.
On the other hand, parenting sins are wrongdoings or misdeeds and offences committed by either the father or the mother or both
BECAUSE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
Rebecca committed the sins of lies, cheating, deception and fraud against her husband, her son Esau, her God and humanity in order to divert her husband’s blessing to her favorite son, Jacob. Genesis 27:6-19.
Parenting sins are sins committed by the parents for their children in the course of bringing up the children. These are usually done to protect the parent’s personal and selfish interests.
EXAMPLES OF COMTEMPORARY PARENTING SINS
1. Parents who arrange abortion for their pregnant daughters who are impregnated outside wedlock to cover up for family shame and position in the church or society.
Many Christian parents prefer to disobey God’s commandment in Matthew 5:21 “Thou shall not kill.” Than to face the shame associated with having a pregnant daughter outside marriage.
2. Many parents paid and some are still paying mercenaries to write exams for their children. Many exam malpractices have been officially reported involving the use of third parties paid for by the parents to ensure the success of their children. Some pay for special centres, some pay for question papers and other dirty deals just in the guise of helping their children.
3. Many parents use their money to buy employment and school admission etc. Names of many students on provisional admission lists often disappear because some rich parents fund such manipulations to favour their children.
4. Over parenting may end up in tragedy. This is excessive use of money and positions to give their wards preferential treatment and in most cases compromising the laws. We have seen parents who buy freedom for their children involved in crimes, cultism etc.
WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?
1. Discipline your children. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, teaches that parents ought to lovingly discipline their children. Ephesians 6:4 says, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
In Proverbs 13:24 the Bible says, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
2. Love your children; spend time with them. Cut out some of your so-called “important social engagements” and make your home the center of your social life. God will honor you, and your children will grow up to call you blessed (Proverbs 31:28).
3. Teach them high moral and spiritual principles of life. Show them that only the morally and spiritually sound people attain genuine satisfaction in life. Evangelist Phillip had four virgin daughters who were also prophetesses. Acts 12:8-9.
4. Teach your children to fear God, obey His commandments, and serve Him Genesis 18:19.
Do not be the cause of generational problem for generations to come. Be a wise parent.
CONCLUSION:
Children are the heritage of God (Psalms 127:3). They are considered as blessings from Him. We are only to train them in the way they should go. Proverbs 22:6. In the course of training up our children, we are to make them “keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment”. (Genesis 18:19a). Parents are to ensure that while bringing up their children, they do not introduce them into sin. Parenting sins can cost the parents Heaven and will drag them to hell. Parents must therefore ensure that they do not compromise God’s commandments in the course of bringing up their children.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Mention other sin you know that is prominent amidst parent.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, by your Holy Spirit, make us godly parents in Jesus Name.
2. Father, please help our children to be receptive to the good training they receive in Jesus Name.
3. Pray for rapid growth of RCCG physically, spiritually and numerically.
4. Pray for Daddy G. O and his family.
5. Personal prayer requests.

10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob’s voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
LESSON INTRODUCTION:
What is Parenting? Parenting refers to the process of nurturing, raising and training a child from infancy to adulthood. It involves parent-child relationship. Parenting involves moulding the character and behavioral pattern of children. Inculcating discipline in them and teaching them moral values. Parents play a great role in shaping up their children’s behaviour and personality. God expects parents to bring up children who will love Him, fear Him, obey Him and serve Him. Parents are the mirror that the children see and copy; it behooves on the parents to be perfect Christian models. Children learn a great deal from their parents.
LESSON OUTLINES
PARENTING SINS
Parenting sins need to be differentiated from parental sins.
Parental sins are wrongdoings or misdeeds and offences committed personally by either the father or the mother or both either before their marriage or within their marriage season. Biblical example includes the sin of disobedience committed by Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:1-11. On the other hand, parenting sins are wrongdoings or misdeeds and offences committed by either the father or the mother or both
BECAUSE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
Rebecca committed the sins of lies, cheating, deception and fraud against her husband, her son Esau, her God and humanity in order to divert her husband’s blessing to her favorite son, Jacob. Genesis 27:6-19.
Parenting sins are sins committed by the parents for their children in the course of bringing up the children. These are usually done to protect the parent’s personal and selfish interests.
EXAMPLES OF COMTEMPORARY PARENTING SINS
1. Parents who arrange abortion for their pregnant daughters who are impregnated outside wedlock to cover up for family shame and position in the church or society.
Many Christian parents prefer to disobey God’s commandment in Matthew 5:21 “Thou shall not kill.” Than to face the shame associated with having a pregnant daughter outside marriage.
2. Many parents paid and some are still paying mercenaries to write exams for their children. Many exam malpractices have been officially reported involving the use of third parties paid for by the parents to ensure the success of their children. Some pay for special centres, some pay for question papers and other dirty deals just in the guise of helping their children.
3. Many parents use their money to buy employment and school admission etc. Names of many students on provisional admission lists often disappear because some rich parents fund such manipulations to favour their children.
4. Over parenting may end up in tragedy. This is excessive use of money and positions to give their wards preferential treatment and in most cases compromising the laws. We have seen parents who buy freedom for their children involved in crimes, cultism etc.
WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?
1. Discipline your children. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, teaches that parents ought to lovingly discipline their children. Ephesians 6:4 says, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
In Proverbs 13:24 the Bible says, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
2. Love your children; spend time with them. Cut out some of your so-called “important social engagements” and make your home the center of your social life. God will honor you, and your children will grow up to call you blessed (Proverbs 31:28).
3. Teach them high moral and spiritual principles of life. Show them that only the morally and spiritually sound people attain genuine satisfaction in life. Evangelist Phillip had four virgin daughters who were also prophetesses. Acts 12:8-9.
4. Teach your children to fear God, obey His commandments, and serve Him Genesis 18:19.
CONCLUSION:
Children are the heritage of God (Psalms 127:3). They are considered as blessings from Him. We are only to train them in the way they should go. Proverbs 22:6. In the course of training up our children, we are to make them “keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment”. (Genesis 18:19a). Parents are to ensure that while bringing up their children, they do not introduce them into sin. Parenting sins can cost the parents Heaven and will drag them to hell. Parents must therefore ensure that they do not compromise God’s commandments in the course of bringing up their children.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, by your Holy Spirit, make us godly parents in Jesus Name.
2. Father, please help our children to be receptive to the good training they receive in Jesus Name.
3. Pray for rapid growth of RCCG physically, spiritually and numerically.
4. Pray for Daddy G. O and his family.
5. Personal prayer requests.
