OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 22 MARCH 2024 FRIDAY: MOUNTAINS

MEMORISE: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Matthew 17:2

READ: Matthew 17:1-2
[1]And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
[2]And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

MESSAGE
Mountains are generally known M to be very big, tall, and heavy, and they cannot be moved. Christians often refer to a mountain as a problem or an obstruction to miracles. However, a mountain can also be a stepping stone to one’s next level. The mountain before you now may be all you need to climb in order to see God’s plan for your future.
When I newly became a Christian, someone suggested that I fast for three days. It appeared suicidal to me, so I told him I only fasted 6:00 am to 12:00 noon on Good Fridays. However, when I became the General Overseer, fasting became a lifestyle as I used to confront and surmount many mountains. When things are going well, many Christians fail to pray, so God uses tough challenges to bring them back to Himself.
Beloved, how do you see that challenge you are facing? Do you see it as a problem or a solution to other problems? A mountain will take the form you see it to be. However, if you let God, that mountain will be the pedestal to your success.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, turn every mountain in my life to stepping stones to my success, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 6 – MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

CHORUS
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

¹ O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

² To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

³ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

⁴ Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

⁷ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁸ My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Daily Confession: Today, I confess that my soul follows hard after God, prioritizing His kingdom and righteousness above all else, and finding true satisfaction and joy in His presence alone, in the precious name of Jesus. Somebody Shout Hallelujah

The story I shared yesterday reminds me of three Ugandan boys I met at the Christian programme in Kenya.

Those boys were probably hungrier for God than any of us at that programme.

During break times, while everyone was buying sandwiches, those three boys would sit together, singing praises to God.

I asked why they never ate when everyone else ate, and they responded that food was not their concern.

Firstly, they had no money to buy food. Secondly, they said they were praying to return safely and not get arrested or even executed by the then-Ugandan military ruler upon their return.

For three days, they had eaten nothing and were just glad to be there. For the rest of our stay, whatever little I had, I shared with them.

I told them to write to me when they got back home safely, and they did to the glory of God.

Your hunger for God should be such that you won’t even remember to eat when it is time to seek Him.

You should be so hungry for God that you are willing to risk your life just to know Him more. I get amazed anytime we call a fast, and some people grumble.

They are not hungry for God enough to fast for just a few days in the year to draw closer to Him.

In the 1970s, l used to gather some RCCG youths in a place called ‘Youth Camp’.

Accommodation and feeding were usually included in our payment for the venue, but people rarely cared to eat after the sessions.

I usually had to beg them to eat so we would not waste the food. They didn’t care much for food, they only wanted the word of God.

Jeremiah 15:16 says:
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

What exactly are the things you are hungry for?

Food? Fame? Money? Put them all aside and let your hunger and thirst every day be for God.

Matthew 6:33 says:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Beloved, please get your priorities right. David, in our Bible reading today, said that his soul will follow hard after God. Can you say the same for yourself?

MEMORISE: It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Psalm 119:71

READ: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
[16]Rejoice evermore.
[17]Pray without ceasing.
[18]In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

MESSAGE
God can use any situation in your life to help you grow if you will I just have the right attitude. For instance, He can use frustration, failure, sudden sickness, et cetera, to get your attention. You say, “But it hurts so much!” Yes, pruning can be painful. Sometimes, a gardener will prune a tree until it looks like a totem pole or a giant toothpick. It is not a pretty sight, but the pruning process births a big and fruitful tree. Therefore, if this is your condition presently, God is not mad at you. He does not punish His genuine children.
God’s pruning can also make a fellow produce the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, faithfulness, gentleness, self- control, et cetera (Galatians 5:22-23). How does it work? God allows you to face situations and people with the exact opposite of the quality He wants you to possess. For instance, He teaches you to love by putting around you difficult people. He teaches you patience through situations or people that will frustrate you. How can you say you are patient if you have not lived with someone who will teach you perseverance?
Can God’s pruning not yield a positive result? Yes! If you don’t cooperate. Therefore, I implore you to rejoice evermore while in the pruning stage.

REFLECTION
What is your attitude to pruning?

HYMN 4 – CHRIST IS OUR CORNER-STONE
1. Christ is our Comer-stone;
On Him alone we build;
With His true Saints alone
The courts of Heaven are filled;
On His great Love
Our hopes we place
Of present grace,
And joys above.

2. Oh, then with hymns of praise
These hallow’d courts shall ring:
Our voices we will raise,
The Three in One to sing;
And thus proclaim
In joyful song,
Both loud and long,
That glorious Name.

3. Here, gracious God, do Thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,
And mark each suppliant sigh;
In copious shower
On all who pray,
Each holy day,
Thy blessings pour.

4 Here may we gain from Heaven,
The grace which we implore,
And may that grace, once given
Be with us evermore;
Until that day,
When all the blest,
To endless rest
Are call’d away.

WEDNESDAY: YOU ARE BEING PRUNED 1

MEMORISE: For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Hebrews 12:10

READ: Philippians 1:6
[6]Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

MESSAGE
Many Christians when in trying periods, tell God, “Don’t you love me?” “Can’t you see what is going on in my life right now?” “God, you must really hate me,” et cetera. My dear child, God does not hate you; He is only pruning you.
One of the misconceptions many Christians have about pruning is that it is a form of punishment. No! It is not. John 15:1 says Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches. For the branches to bear fruits, they must be pruned. Being pruned could mean being denied of some things, such as the pleasure of sleep, food, partying, et cetera. It could require a higher level of consecration or more days of fasting. None of these is punishment. Even if you have been bearing fruits, God wants you to bear more. So, He will make you go through a process of pruning. which is for a greater good.
Just the same way you put in extra work to pass an examination, you must put in extra efforts to bear more fruits for the kingdom. Therefore, never see His pruning as punishment, for all things work together for the good of them who love God and are called according to His purpose.

PRAYER POINT:
God is not wicked; He has a purpose for everything

HYMN 9 – DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

4. Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.

MEMORISE: But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3:15

READ: Acts 8:26-40
[26]And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
[27]And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
[28]Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
[29]Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
[30]And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
[31]And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
[32]The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
[33]In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
[34]And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
[35]Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
[36]And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
[37]And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[38]And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
[39]And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
[40]But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

MESSAGE
Two ways to get a chick out of an eggshell is to either crack it open or put it in a warm, loving environment to incubate and hatch it. While the first way kills the chick, the second preserves it. This same method goes for how you treat unbelievers to win them over.
People need to know the good news of Christ, but your disposition can keep them from receiving it. Before the salvation you preach can make sense to an unbeliever, you must have treated them with love, You do not expect someone who you judge always to accept whatever you have to say about Christ. Respect unbelievers; do not humiliate them. Their life may not be like that of Christ, but accepting them is what will turn their hearts to you.
My dear child, accepting unbelievers does not mean you approve of their lifestyle. However, the best way to share the gospel with them is to show them love, respect, and acceptance. You must be respectful even when they err, correct them in love. In no time, they will accept your Jesus.

KEY POINT:
For people to hear what you have to say, you must respect them first.

HYMN 8 – LEAD US HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1. Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O’er the world’s tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing
If our God our Father be.

2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.

3. Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

When Apostle Paul said that he wanted to know the power of His resurrection in Philippians 3:10, he was saying that he wanted to know the power that raised Jesus from the dead.

There is a power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. That power, according to Romans 8:11, is the power of the Holy Spirit, the power that can quicken your mortal body.

That power is still available to the children of God even after Jesus Christ died, rose, and went to heaven.

It is a great thing to be baptised in the Holy Spirit.

However, there is an experience and encounter that goes far beyond being baptised in the Holy Spirit.

When you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you speak in tongues, but speaking in tongues is not enough; you need to be baptised by fire too.

Speaking in tongues is wonderful, and I encourage it, but you can’t go to some nations, get into their marketplaces, and start speaking in tongues and think you will win souls for Christ; you might lose your head or spend the rest of your life in prison!

You need the fire of the Holy Ghost.

Whether you believe it or not, every force that is in heaven, on earth, or underneath the earth, is subject to that power that raised Jesus from the dead.

This is why the world fears Pentecostalism.

If there was one dead fellow that the devil did not want to rise, it was Jesus Christ, because he knew that if Jesus rose from the dead, he was finished.

However, that power that raised Jesus from the dead was so powerful that with all the things that the devil tried in Matthew 27:62-66, Jesus still rose from the dead.

He is higher than all principalities and powers, and His rising from the dead opened the door for you and me to also be higher than them.

Ephesians 2:6 says: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

The scripture above shows clearly that believers in Jesus Christ are now seated with Him in heavenly places.

Once you know that power that raised Jesus from the dead, no witch, wizard, demon, or principality will be able to overcome you.

You will begin to command demons, and they will obey speedily.

If you want to know that power, pray today’s prayer point with all your heart.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 MARCH 2024 MESSAGE

Over the past two days, I have been discussing some lessons from Philippians 3:10, and today, I will be going even deeper.

Apostle Paul said clearly that he wanted to know the fellowship of Jesus’ sufferings; in other words, he wanted to partake in the sufferings of Jesus Christ.

Ordinary Christians don’t pray this kind of prayer; the prayer of the ordinary Christian usually sounds as follows, “God heal me, set me free, give me a car, prosper me, promote me, make me fruitful.” You won’t hear an ordinary Christian praying, “God, let me suffer for you.”

I pray for you that you will leave the company of the ordinary today and enter into the company of the extraordinary, in Jesus’ name.

Paul was a great example of an extraordinary Christian. He was eager to know God and to suffer for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:16-17 says:
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

It is when we suffer with Jesus that we can be glorified with Him. Paul said, “Let no man trouble me, I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:17).

In other words, he was saying, “I have scars to show that I suffered with Him.”

God glorifies those who are partakers of the sufferings of Christ. It’s just like a responsible man whose wife suffered with him during tough times.

When things get better, there will be nothing money can afford that he will not buy for her. One of the reasons I value my wife greatly today is that when I resigned from lecturing and moved into the middle of nowhere, telling everyone that it is a city that God promised me, she moved in with me.

It was tough, but she backed me all the way and partook in my suffering. Now that things are better, she is partaking in the glory.

Are you seeking for opportunities to experience the fellowship of Jesus’ suffering? Have you suffered with Him in any way?

Congratulations if you said, ‘Yes’ genuinely to these questions because when it is time to be glorified, you will be glorified with Jesus.

If you, however, are among those denying Him, remember that He said that He will also deny such persons before His Father in Heaven (Matthew 10:33).

Lord, I want to know the fellowship of Your suffering. Please let me partake in Your suffering.

Today’s topic is actually the prayer of people who feel that they don’t know God enough and want to know Him more.

Daniel 11:32 says that those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. To know God the way He ought to be known is very beneficial.

If you know Him as He should be known, you will gladly surrender your life completely to Him.

You will gladly surrender your future to Him because you will suddenly say, “What am I anyway, that did not originate in God?

Who am I anyway, if God didn’t make me who I am? What can ever happen in my future that He doesn’t know already?”

Total surrender only becomes possible when you truly know Him. You can only go wherever He asks you to if you know Him as you should.

A young married couple came to Africa for a missionary trip on their honeymoon. While walking around, they came across a really huge fence with gates.

They found the gateman and asked, “Who are the people behind these walls?” The gateman answered, “Lepers,” and the couple asked another question, “Has anyone preached the gospel to them?” The gateman said, “Anyone who goes in there doesn’t come out.

We throw food to them over the gate.” The couple insisted that they needed to go in to preach to them.

The gateman reiterated that anyone who goes in never comes out.

The husband looked at his wife, and she said,

“What the Lord said is ‘go’. He didn’t say anything about coming back.” That was one couple that really knew God!

You can’t know God through preaching, you can only know Him if He reveals Himself to you. I never went to any Bible college.

Even though I learnt a lot from my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi and Pa S.G Elton, God had to reveal Himself to me.

Only God can reveal Himself to you, and this was why Jesus said to Peter, “Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven” (Matthew 16:17).

The first time I heard people praying, “Oh God of Adeboye, come and do this for me,” | was shocked, and I asked myself,

“Who is Adeboye?” However, somebody must have thought to himself, “We may not know God so well, but there is somebody who knows Him.”

I pray that you will know Him the way He ought to be known, in Jesus’ name.
