OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 MAY 2020 THURSDAY: PURIFY YOUR HEART

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 MAY 2020 MEMORIZE: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 MAY 2020 BIBLE READING PSALMS 24:3-4

3.Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

Whatever is in your heart is a pointer to who
you are. Proverbs 23:7 says:

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:”

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 15:11 that it
is not what goes into the mouth that defiles,
but what comes out of the mouth.

When you put this alongside Luke 6:45 which says:

“A good man out of the good treasure
of his heart bringeth forth that which
is good; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is evil: for of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaketh.”

It becomes clear that it is what is in the
heart that defiles. This is why you need
to have a pure heart.

How do you purify your heart?

The way you make a place pure is by ensuring that it is not exposed to dirt and also by cleaning it regularly.

It is the same with your heart. Ensure it is not
exposed to dirty movies, dirty music or dirty
conversations.

Anywhere you see these things, stay away.

Also, you need to keep cleaning your heart with the word of God.

The more of Gods word you have in your
heart, the cleaner it will be.

Keep the word of God in your heart so you do not sin against God (Psalms 119:11 ).

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

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 nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor 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,
For 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.

OPEN HEAVEN 13 MAY 2020 WEDNESDAY: THE VISIONARY CHRISTIAN III

OPEN HEAVEN 13 MAY 2020 MEMORIZE: Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel 2:19

OPEN HEAVEN 13 MAY 2020 BIBLE READING DANIEL 2:1-19

1. And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

2. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

3. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

4. Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

5. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6. But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

7. They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

8. The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9. But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

10. The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

11. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12. For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

13. And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

14. Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

15. He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16. Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

17. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18. That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

OPEN HEAVEN 13 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

In todays Bible reading, King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream he couldn’t remember let alone interpret.

So, he sought help from the wise men in his kingdom and set a death penalty for any who failed them (Daniel 2:1-19).

When Daniel heard about the decree of the king, he wondered why he was so hasty to destroy the ‘think-tank’ of the land.

Jesus said in John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…

All the hasty plans of the devil concerning you and yours shall be destroyed today by divine intervention in the mighty name of Jesus.

Daniel and his companions were faced with an insurmountable challenge humanly
speaking but Daniel got a vision that
resolved the predicament (Daniel 2:19 ).

All we need to avert a looming disaster is
a vision from God. Prevention is so much better than cure.

How do we become visionary children of
God?

“That they would desire mercies of God
of heaven concerning this secret; that
Daniel and his fellows should not perish
with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:18″

If we must get the vision like Daniel and his
friends, we must pay the price of waiting
upon the Lord according to His promise.

“Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord
God; I will make this proverb to cease,
and they shall no more use it as a proverb
in Israel; but say unto them, The days are
at hand, and the effect of every vision.
Ezekiel 12:23″

Beloved, surrender all to God and He will
surely make His words come to pass in your
life.

Faithfully and patiently wait on Him and
you will become a man or woman of vision.

With Godly vision, your destiny is secure and
shall be fulfilled in the mighty name of Jesus.

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear-
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2020 TUESDAY: THE VISIONARY CHRISTIAN II

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2020 MEMORIZE: For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2020 BIBLE READING DANIEL 10:1-14

1. In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

2. In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

3. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4. And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

5. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

6. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

7. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

8. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

9. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

10. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

11. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

12. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

13. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

14. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

Many Christians are impatient with God for the manifestation of His promises, forgetting
that there are some necessary steps required of them as we have observed from the Scriptures.

Pray: Daniel, a visionary prophet prayed for the fulfilment of God’s promises – the return from the captivity of Israel (Daniel
10:1-14 ).

Wait: Habakkuk 2:3 says what
our attitude towards God-given prophecies
should be: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
We must learn to wait patiently.

Believe: Even if visions and prophecies delay, we must continue to believe because such a
delay does not necessarily mean it is false.

Daniel 10:1 says and the thing was true,
but the time appointed was long. Never be in a hurry to grab the pleasant promises of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2020

Faith is required for the fulfillment of
His promises. Hebrews 11:11 says:

“Through faith also Sara herself received
strength to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when she was past
age, because she judged him faithful
who had promised.“

Whatever promise you are waiting for,
don’t get so carried away that you miss the
benefits the vision carries.

You must know the timing of the fulfilment of the vision and when to act upon it.

As a young Bible College graduate, you may have seen a very large congregation in a vision even while in training.

You need to ask God what to do,
how to do it and when the fulfilment shall
come.

When a person has not won a seat at
the local council and God shows him a vision of becoming a governor, it does not mean the vision is false.

The person just needs to locate the time of its fulfilment and patiently work towards it. It took Joseph decades to experience the fulfillment of His dreams.

Thevision is for an appointed time; wait for it. Its fulfilment will not elude you, in the mighty
name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 12 MAY 2020 PRAYER POINT

Father, please make me a visionary Christian
so that i will not lose the vision of my eternal

OPEN HEAVEN 11 MAY 2020 MEMORIZE: Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18

OPEN HEAVEN 11 MAY 2020 BIBLE READING HABAKKUK 2:1-4

1. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4.Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

OPEN HEAVEN 11 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

If a Christian is visionary, his/her pilgrimage
on earth becomes bearable.

It is a clear vision of heaven that will make a child of God see nothing enticing in the present world as compared to the anticipated eternal bliss.

“Where there is no vision, the people
perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18″

From the verse above, we can infer that the
lack of vision about the reality of hell is what
makes people carefree about the coming
judgment on the ungodly.

If God were to show a person a vision of heaven as Jesus described in Matthew 13:44-46, he/she would do everything possible to get there.

OPEN HEAVEN 11 MAY 2020

In Habakkuk 2:1-4 , the prophet was eager
to get divine vision and take instructions
even if it required reproof.

Fortunately, it was for his good and for those who would read it with understanding. It ended up as a warning against pride (which leads to destruction) and words of encouragement towards faith (which brings justification).

According to Psalms 53:1, it is only a fool
that says there is no God. It is pride that
makes an individual think that he knows
better than God.

Psalms 53:2 says it takes a visionary individual to seek God, especially in times like these, when everything seems to be against godliness.

lt was a divine vision that ensured Noah and his household were saved from the flood (Hebrews 11:7 ).

It is the same vision that will keep any Christian focused on holiness without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14 ).

With a divine vision, we can catch a glimpse of our eternal home like John did in Revelation 21:1-7. If you submit yourself to God, you too would see divinely inspired visions.

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.

14. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

There is a lot of danger in being fake.

As written in todays Bible reading, it was
not the season for the fig tree to bear fruit,
but it presented itself otherwise.

Jesus cursed it not for being without fruit, but for pretending to be with fruit.

Many teenagers can be likened to this fig tree today.

There are things you desire to have (e.g. latest computer game) and you feel ashamed not having them yet you decide to deceive people into thinking you already have them.

The day you are discovered, you will be
greatly disgraced.

Just like that fig tree, all the blossoming you were doing around will stop and you will suddenly become extra gentle, practically dry like the tree.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY

Stop being fake. Let everyone know you for who you are.

If they dont like who you are, then they are not meant to be your friends.

Won’t you rather have friends who like the real you than friends you have to pretend to so that they can remain your friends?.

The devil is the father of liars (John 8:44 ).
Don’t be one of his children.

Have you urged upon

The Saviour who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from all sins;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

3. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

4. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

You need friends, everybody needs friends.

In fact, Proverbs 18:24 says that there are
some friends that you need more than you
need a brother because they stick closer
to you than a brother would.

For example, Jonathan stuck closer to David than Davids brothers did.

It is unfortunate however that many people dont have friends and the primary reason is because they are unfriendly.

If you want to have friends, there are certain positive qualities you must have while you do away with all negative ones.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS

One of the qualities you should have
is kindness.

A kind fellow will always have friends because people want to be around people that care about them.

A selfish fellow on the other hand will hardly have friends because they only care about themselves and no one else.

You must be willing to help others in their time of need. You must be ready to go the extra mile to make someone happy.

God wants you to be kind to others.

As long as you are not required to do
anything against the will of God, do all you
can to show kindness to people.

Are you a friendly person?

IS YOUR LIFE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING?

1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God
flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Saviour?
Are you ready His service to do?

CHORUS
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for
those that are lost?
Have you urged upon
those who are straying,
The Saviour who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from all sins;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

OPEN HEAVEN 14 MAY 2020 BIBLE READING LUKE 10:25-28

25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26. He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27. And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

OPEN HEAVEN 14 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

In todays memory verse, Nicodemus did not ask Jesus to tell him how he could enter the Kingdom of God; he merely praised Him.

However, Jesus knew that Nicodemus
needed to be shown, like us all, how to get
to Heaven, so He said

“… verily, verily, I say unto thee, except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God.“

Jesus knew that any praise that would lead
to the Kingdom of God must be packaged
in the garment of salvation. He once told His
audience:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21“

Beloved, have you been blown away by the
recent wind of liberalism?

Have you been engaging in endless arguments on what is or what is not true about the Kingdom of God and the hope of eternal life?

It will do you no good, some argue that being born again may not be immediately evident forgetting that the Bible says “by their fruits
ye shall know them“(Matthew 7:20).

This confirms that being born again has to be evident.

Jesus queried in Luke 6:46 : And why call
ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say?.

Our citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven is based on obedience to the Kingdom constitution – the Bible.

Anyone who says the Bible is outdated is obviously no longer a citizen of the Kingdom.

1 John 3:7 says he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

Hence, answering Biblical names or ministerial titles are not requirements for being a Kingdom citizen, rather, regeneration and a new life of holiness in Christ are.

Are you a citizen of the kingdom of God?

OPEN HEAVEN 14 MAY 2020 PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to maintain the
requirements for Your Kingdoms citizenship.
Please, do not cast me out of Your Kingdom
in the mighty name of Jesus.

ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

1. Onward Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus
Who is gone before;
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!

CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Going on before.

2. At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one Body we-
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.

4. Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise,
Which can never fail.

5. Onward then, ye people!
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song.
“Glory, praise and honor
Unto Christ, the King”, –
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31. While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

34. And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

As children of God, our Father expects us
to be humble.

However, when He sees that we are not willing to become humble, He could decide to humble us Himself.

Believe me honestly, it is a terrible thing for God to humble you by Himself.

Nebuchadnezzar experienced this and it was a terrible experience. He was reduced to an animal for seven years.

Thank God that He had mercy on him.

Another person that was humbled by God but did not enjoy mercy is King Herod in Acts 12:23.

Just as everyone was hailing him for speaking like a god, God struck him dead and maggots ate his body up right in front of the people.

Has God been speaking to you about becoming humble and you are reluctant?.

Have you been hearing messages about humility, yet you are not interested?.

I plead with you my child, for your own good, humble yourself now before God decides to humble you Himself.
