OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2018: YOU WILL MAKE IT!

Open Heaven 26 February 2018

MEMORISE: Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not? 2 Corinthians
11:29

Please read: 2 Corinthians 11:23-30

MESSAGE:
A lesson from the life of Paul simply tells us that in spite of the level of hindrances, diversions,
distractions and disturbances that come, if you truly want to finish strong, you will.

Satan can use just anybody including the leader that you so love and trust to work against your finishing strong.

If he wants to introduce a major
hindrance on your way to finishing your assignment or making Heaven, he will stir up
someone who you will never expect to hurt you.

It happened to Paul. Certain believers that he thought were together with him set him up; but
for the Lord who had been his trust, he would never have recovered.

God helped him out and he pushed the incident aside and moved on.

Are you a victim of the plan of so-called
brethren? Did fellow believers who you used to look up to disappoint you?
Receive grace to
forgive them so you can move forward.

Nothing must take Heaven from you. You will finish
strong and make it in Jesus’ name.

ACTION POINT:
Grace is the antidotes to your problems and
challenges. Ask God for more grace daily

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 16-17
Mark 6:33-56

Hymn 1
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, 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,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm and changeless be
A living fire !

3. While life’s dark maze I 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;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.

Open Heaven 26 February 2018 – LIVING BY DECREES

Open Heaven 26 February 2018 MondayMemorise: Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Jobs 22:28

Read: James 5:14-18 (KJV) Open Heaven 26 February 2018 Monday

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Bible in one year: Leviticus 27, 1st Corinthians 12:12-31
Hymnal: Sing hymn 10

OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2018 MONDAY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Our God is a God of dominion who rules by decrees (Psalm 148:5-6, Jeremiah 5:22). It therefore follows that if He created man in His own image and after His likeness, man should also rule by decrees. Genesis 1:28 gives an insight into the mandate of dominion that God gave to man after he was created:

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living that moveth upon the earth.”

It is unfortunate that man fell from his position of authority where he ruled by decrees and began to be ruled by circumstances. It is however more unfortunate that some children of God have failed to realise the position of dominion that they have been restored to in the new dispensation of the covenant in the Blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20). Open Heaven 27 February 2018

It is true that man fell and lost his dominion, but it is equally true that this dominion was restored through the second Adam: Jesus. Therefore, man should no longer live under the curse of sin anymore, because he has regained his dominion through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, who died as a ransom for the sins of the human race (Romans 5:12,17,18). Read: Open Heaven 25 February 2018

This is the confidence by which the apostles of old lived, and the basis of their ability to live by decrees. Paul demonstrated this in Acts 16:18:

“And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.”

OPEN HEAVEN 26 FEBRUARY 2018

Even before the advent of the Lord Jesus Christ, some men peered into the glory of the dispensation that was to come and were able to partake of the glory which they saw afar off (1st Peter 1:10-11).

One of such men is Elijah, who lived and ruled by decrees. Elijah was calling the shots and holding sway on behalf of his God (1st Kings 17:1,2nd Kings 1:10). The good news is that we of the new dispensation have a better covenant than that of Elijah, because the Son of God is at the right hand of power backing our decrees up through His intercession on our behalf (Romans 8:34).

You must therefore recognise who you are and the power at your disposal. Recognise and believe that the words of Job 22:28 apply to you. Henceforth, live by decrees and dominion, and never allow yourself become a victim of circumstances again. Jesus is Lord!

Action point: Open Heaven 26 February 2018 Monday

Make decrees in the Name of Jesus against every negative circumstance in your life, your home, your church, your community and your country.

SING HYMN 10 – MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

My faith looks up to Thee,

Thou Lamp of Calvary,

Savior divine!

Now hear me while I pray

Take all my guilt away

Oh, let me from this day

Be wholly Thine!

May Thy rich grace impart

Strength to my fainting heart

My zeal inspire!

As Thou hast died for me,

Oh, may my love to Thee

Pure, warm, and changeless be,

A living fire!

While life’s dark maze I 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

When ends life’s transient dream,

When death’s cold, sullen stream

Shall o’er me roll;

Blest Savior, then in love

Fear and distrust remove;

Oh, bear me safe above,

A ransomed soul!

Open Heaven 27 February 2018 – ACCESSING DIVINE INFORMATION

Open Heaven 27 February 2018 TuesdayMemorise: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

Read: Daniel 2:13-19 (KJV) Open Heaven 27 February 2018 Tuesday

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 27 FEBRUARY 2018 TUESDAY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Information is very powerful, and the wise do not underestimate its power. It can have positive or negative impact, depending on the type of information, the giver of the information and the receiver of that information.

The Lord will give you pleasant information today in Jesus’ Name. It was pleasant Information to Abraham and his household, when the Lord announced the coming of the child of promise (Genesis 18:10). However, it was unpleasant information when the Lord later announced the coming total destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, where Abraham’s nephew lived (Genesis 18:17-21).

However, irrespective of the nature of the information, it is always a privilege to have access to divine information, because it enables you to always be one step ahead of the enemy.

OPEN HEAVEN 27 FEBRUARY 2018

In today’s memory verse, the Lord committed Himself to the principle of sharing divine information with His servants, this wise will scrutinize the principle and apply it to their benefit. Daniel was wise; he therefore tapped into the possibilities made accessible by this commitment. Read: Open Heaven 26 February 2018

In today’s Bible text, when all the astrologers in Babylon were to be killed because they could not decode the information embedded in the king’s dream, they turned to Daniel who knew how to access divine information from the spirit realm.

Beloved, where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18). We can learn some vital truths on accessing divine information from the experience of Daniel and his companions, one of which is that they got the information from the God of Heaven. Read Open Heaven 25 February 2018

For you to access information that will guide you aright in life, you need the God of Heaven, This same God has packaged all the information you need to excel in life in a book called the Bible. Just as divine information made a way of escape for Daniel, it also helped the king of Israel, guided by Elisha, to escape the traps of the king of Israel, guided by Elisha, to escape the traps of the king of Syria. 2nd Kings 6:9-10 says,

“And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.”

We will be delivered from the snares of our enemies when we have access to divine information, but we must act on it like the king of Israel did. For example, we have been divinely informed that sinners face eternal damnation but can escape this future through repentance and acceptance of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The wise will act on this information and escape eternal damnation.

Action Point – Open Heaven 27 February 2018 Tuesday

Get acquainted with the God of Heaven through Jesus Christ, and you will on daily basis have access to divine information that will keep you away from evil.

Open Heaven 25 February 2018

MEMORISE: When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in
fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Ecclesiastes 5:4

Please read: Ecclesiastes 5:4-6

MESSAGE:
During my early years as a believer, after hearing a sermon, I immediately practiced whatever that sermon was leading me to do.

If after hearing
God’s Word with conviction and you agreed to do it but failed to do it that day, you will observe that by the following day, your commitment to
doing it would have reduced. And as each day passes without doing it, so goes your resolve.

Some of us know the right things to do to get our lives in the right order, we have heard it said
to us many times, and we even make up our minds to take action. But because we didn’t take that action immediately, the commitment to do
them faded with time. Stop delaying and postponing, you know what to do, do it now!

ACTION POINT:
Take stock of pending restitutions, repent and comply immediately.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 14-15
Mark 6:1-32

Hymn 2
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 or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed 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 favor 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 25 February 2018 Sunday: NOT FOR KINGS!

Memorise: And be not drunkwith wine, wherein is excess;but be filled with the Spirit; Ephesians 5:18

Open Heaven 25 February 2018 Read: Proverbs 23:29-35 (KJV)

23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

23:34 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.

23:35 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.

Open Heaven 25 February 2018 Bible in one year: Leviticus26, 1st Corinthians 11:17-12:11, Hymnal: Sing hymn 12

Our imagination cannot begin to grasp the extent of the many benefits which our redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ grants to us.

The price that was paid on the cross of Calvary forever changed our state, our status and our future. One of the changes it made to our status is revealed to us in Revelation 1:5b-6:

“Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hathmade us kings and priestsunto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

It is clear from this scripture that those who have been redeemed by the precious Blood of the Lamb are kings. To leave no doubt in our minds, our status of royalty is further declared to us in 1st Peter 2:9.

Having been taken from the dunghill of sin and made kings unto God, the least we can do is to comport ourselves in a manner that aligns with our new status.

In order for us to continually live in the reality of our royal status, the Holy Spirit has gone the extra mile to clearly define what we should and should not do as kings unto God. One of those things we should not do is clearly stated in Proverbs 31:4 as follows:

“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strongdrink:”

I believe this is clear enough. For those who want to live their lives as kings unto God in this world and reign as kings with Jesus Christ in the world to come, total abstinence from alcohol is not an option. Read: Open Heaven 24 February 2018

Today’s Bible text further explains to us the reason why alcohol is not for kings. It may seem harmless at the time it is being gulped down the throat, but when it arrives in your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, what does it do?

It stirs up things in you that are contrary to the nature of God that you share. Proverbs 23:33 mentions some of such things:

OPEN HEAVEN 25 FEBRUARY 2018

“Thine eyes shall beholdstrange women, and thineheart shall utter perversethings.”

Just take a look at Noah to understand what alcohol can do to a great man (Genesis 9:19-25). It eventually brought an everlasting curse upon one of his beloved children.

I pray for you that your appetite will not put you in trouble in Jesus’ Name. Please drop your contentious arguments about drinking alcohol today. Count it a worthy sacrifice you need to make to follow after the Master. Seek to continually be filled with the Holy Spirit and the appetite for wine will fade into oblivion (Ephesians 5:18)

Open Heaven 25 February 2018 Action Point:

Always be cautions of the content of any drink handed over to you for consumption and ensure that it is non-alcoholic before you drink it.

Open Heaven 25 February 2018: Sing hymn 12

TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE

Take my life, and let it be
