God’s temple is also a house of grace. Hebrews 4:16 calls the temple the throne of grace.

It is the place where you can go and obtain grace and mercy in times of need.

You may be in need of strength and grace to overcome a particular situation; the good news is that the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that God’s grace is sufficient for you, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness.

You receive this sufficient grace when you come into His temple.

People who go to the occult for power know that they have to keep visiting the shrine regularly to renew their powers.

The devil only tries to copy God’s methods; we who own the original must also always go to the temple of God to keep renewing our strength and receive fresh grace to surmount challenges that we may be faced with daily.

There are people who, when they have committed a sin, avoid going to church because they feel dirty – that is wrong.

At that point, they need the mercy of God and where they can get it is at His throne of grace. That is the time they need to be in church the most.

When you get to His throne of grace, go in humility.

Even if you are a worker, don’t try to keep up an appearance; tell God you have erred and that you are sincerely sorry. Tell Him to please have mercy on you.

Many people go to the temple and keep up appearances like the Pharisee in Luke 18:10-14, while some others go in like the Publican in the same passage.

This is why many people keep going to church and are yet filled with so much junk within them.

Even if you are the pastor of the church, when you are before the throne of grace and in need of mercy, don’t put up a false appearance of piety; go before God pleading for mercy.

The devil knows that you can always access mercy and grace in the presence of God, so he will do everything he can to discourage you from coming unto Him.

He used to have that privilege of being in God’s presence, but he lost it when iniquity was found in him (Ezekiel 28:14-16), and of course, he does not want you to enjoy what he has lost.

Beloved, don’t let anything keep you away from coming into God’s presence to access his mercy and grace.

 

OPEN HEAVEN 28 JANUARY 2024 KEY POINT

Go to the house of God in humility so you can receive grace and mercy from the throne of grace.

¹ Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

² Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

³ The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

⁴ Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

⁵ The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine.

⁶ When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

OPEN HEAVEN 30 JANUARY 2024 BIBLE READING Luke 15:11-32

¹¹ And he said, A certain man had two sons:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OPEN HEAVEN 30 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Whenever I insist that I am not a servant of God, but a son of God, some wonder if there’s a difference between children of God and servants of God.

Simply put, a son of God has several advantages that a servant of God does not have.

In John 8:35, the Bible says that, unlike a servant, a son abides in the house forever.

A servant can resign or be sacked, but a son cannot be sacked.

When a father says, “I reject you as my child, I disown you,” it is a joke because his blood is running in the child; he can’t take the blood away.

Hence, a child will always be in the house.

The implications of this alone are many. Psalm 23:6, for example, says:
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”

The one who dwells in the house forever has the assurance that goodness and mercy shall follow him forever.

Also, according to Psalm 91:1,
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

A servant is always a visitor; he comes into the presence of the master when he is needed and goes out when he is not needed.

A son, however, is a dweller; he stays in the house all the time.

Furthermore, according to John 5:20, the son sees everything that the father does; the servant does not see everything his master does.

There is beauty and joy in knowing what God is doing and being able to see ahead of time what God is going to do.

For example, years ago, when problems were brewing, I told those close to me, “Trouble is coming, but at the end of it, somebody is going to laugh,” and so it happened because I have the privilege as a son to see what my Father is doing.

There are certain things that can happen to servants that will never happen to children.

For example, as good as Job was, God called him “My servant,” little wonder God allowed Satan to experiment with him (Job 1:8-12).

My Father will never permit the enemy to experiment with my health, resources or anything that concerns me because I am His son.

Tomorrow, by His grace, I will commence a study on how to become a son of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 30 JANUARY 2024 KEY POINT

Being a son of God is superior to just being His servant.

RCCG HYMN 27: 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
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything 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 every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

OPEN HEAVEN 31 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Yesterday, I distinguished clearly between being a son of God and being a servant of God.

I am quite sure that you choose to become a son of God rather than a servant.

How then can you become a son of God?

Being a son of God requires that you fulfil some obligations.

A son is a major stakeholder in whatever the father does.

He takes whatever belongs to the father as his because he is not a servant but a son.

John 10:12 says that the hireling (servant) will not give his life for the sheep, but Jesus, the Son of God, gave his life for the sheep.

In the same vein, you must be ready to spend and be spent for the salvation of men on earth.

Nothing must be too hard for you to do so that people will not perish in hell.

A servant can see souls perishing and turn the other way, but not a son; a son will go out and preach the gospel to them until they give their lives to Christ and remain steadfast in the Lord.

If you are not an incurable soul winner, your sonship is in doubt.

A son resembles his father. It is only what he sees his father do that he does. That is why 1 John 3:9 says:
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

True sons of God hate sin. Don’t mind those who tell you that once you have given your life to Christ, you can go ahead and commit sin – they are liars!

Real children of God have the seed of God in them, and that seed makes it difficult for them to sin.

If they fall into sin, that seed begins to bite them, and they become very sorry for what they have done.

They go back to their Father, like any genuine child will do, and plead for forgiveness.

Nobody can keep committing sin on purpose and claim to be a son of God – that fellow is a liar.

A child that does not resemble his father is called a bastard.

It was recorded that Jesus loved righteousness and hated iniquity (Hebrews 1:8-9).

If you are truly a child of God, you will hate sin and love righteousness because of His seed within you.

You cannot remain in sin and claim to be a child of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 29 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

The temple of God is much more than all I have discussed in this series so far.

In fact, if I want to call God’s temple any particular name, I will probably call it the house of praise and power.

In our Bible reading for today, you will discover why David said:
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
Psalm 122:1

The temple is a house of praise. Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel, and we saw a manifestation of this in our Bible reading today.

The temple is also the house of thanksgiving because our Bible reading passage today also says that they were thanking God too and not just praising Him (2 Chronicles 5:13).

In fact, David says in Psalm 100:4 that you should enter God’s gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.

As praise and thanksgiving go on, His glory fills the temple powerfully. So, when you go into the temple, you are actually going into God’s glory.

That glory rubs off on you, and everywhere you go after that, you just begin to experience supernatural goodness and mercy.

God’s temple is also a house where goodness and mercy abound. In Psalm 23:6, the Bible says:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

There is a song I love so much, and it goes thus:

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days, all the days of my life (2x).

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, and I will feast at the table set for me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days, all the days of my life (2x).”

Beloved, I encourage you to sing this song prophetically, and if you do not know the song, you can just speak the words into your life.

You must, however, go beyond merely singing or speaking the words, you must live it.

Dwelling in the house of the Lord precedes feasting at the table set before you.

Whether the enemy likes it or not, when you are in the house of the Lord praising and thanking Him, a table will be set before you, and nothing can tamper with it!

God’s temple is also the house of knowledge; it is a house of education.

In Psalm 27:4, David made it clear:

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

In the house of the Lord, you can behold the beauty of the Almighty God.

However, David went on to say that he not only wants to behold God’s beauty, but he also wants to be there to enquire of Him.

In other words, if you have any questions for God, bring them to His temple; come and ask Him in the temple.

When you come into His temple, you will receive revelations; He will begin to tell you certain things that you will not learn at home.

This is why you must always go to church with your writing materials.

It is a place to go and learn new things and get new perspectives.

There have been many times that I was confused about a matter, but while listening to the word of God, light will begin to shine on the matter, and I will receive revelations on how to resolve the situation.

This is why the psalmist said:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105

The house of God is a place where you go to hear the word of God, and in that word is great knowledge and wisdom that you cannot get anywhere else.

So, whether you need revelation for business, family issues, ministry, health or any other field of life, you will get it in the house of God.

Those who regularly go to a church where the undiluted word of God is taught don’t stay confused for long.

You may, however, then ask, “How do I know if the word being taught in my church is genuine and undiluted?”

You will have to emulate the Berean Christians who always returned to their homes to search the Scriptures to verify what they had been taught in church (Acts 17:10-11).

As long as you remain in the environment where the undiluted and genuine word of God is preached, knowledge and wisdom will be available to you.

OPEN HEAVEN 27 JANUARY 2024 ACTION POINT

Always attend church services with your writing materials, and be expectant to receive new knowledge and revelation from God

The temple is not just the house of prayer; it is also the house of healing.

In Matthew 21:14, after Jesus chased all those who were buying and selling in the temple, saying, “My house shall be called the house of prayer,” the Bible says that the sick came unto Him in the temple and were healed.

In our Bible reading for today, Jesus went into the synagogue and met a man with a withered hand.

There were some scholars who felt that people shouldn’t be healed on sabbath days.

When they asked if He would heal the man with a withered hand, He told the man to stretch his hand, and he was healed.

Note that the man did not ask to be prayed for; just seeing a case like that in the temple compelled Jesus to heal him.

Some people have challenged me before, saying: “You people who claim that you have the power to heal, why don’t you go to the hospital and heal everybody there?

Why do they have to come to the church to be healed?” Truly, God can heal anywhere, but He specifically heals in the temple.

There are many people who, by just stepping foot on Redemption City, got their healings.

Nobody prayed for them; the mere fact that they had entered God’s temple brought them their healing.

Going to God’s temple regularly is like going to the doctor regularly.

Even when you are feeling well, and you go to see him, he will examine you, and whatever strange thing he finds in your body, he will deal with it.

There are people that are carrying one sickness or the other in their bodies that they don’t even know about yet.

When you go to church, and the power of God falls on you, such sicknesses disappear because you have come to a place of healing.

This is why I wonder if people know what they are missing when they decide to stay at home and watch a church service on TV.

If you are far from the place of worship and God sees that you sincerely will like to attend physically but cannot be there, that is a different case.

However, when you decide to stay at home and connect to a service that you could have easily attended, you cannot get the same atmosphere as those who are in the service physically.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 JANUARY 2024 REFLECTION

Don’t ever miss any appointment to be in church; God might decide to use the next church meeting to bring about the turning point you have been waiting for.

¹⁷ And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

The Lord Almighty will establish the works of your hands and make you a wonder this Tuesday, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Daily Confession: Today, I confess that sometimes I struggle to maintain true friendships, but today I choose to surrender to Your will. Guide me towards godly friends and equip me to be the friend You desire me to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Many people don’t know why they need to go to church or any place of fellowship at all.

They think to themselves, “Why can’t we just sit down at home?

After all, God is everywhere.” So, for the next few days, l intend to spend some time looking at what God’s temple really is.

God’s temple is the house of prayer (Isaiah 56:7), and before anyone says that this is just in the Old Testament, Jesus Himself, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrew 12:2), further validated it in Matthew 21:12-13.

We go to the One who hears prayers (Psalm 65:2) in the house He has dedicated and assigned as the house of prayer.

I know you can pray anywhere, and God will hear you, but there is a difference when you pray in the place that was originally assigned as the place of prayer.

In such a place, the atmosphere is already charged, and there are heavenly protocols in place already to ensure that prayers said there are answered.

When a place has been dedicated as a house of prayer, there is tremendous power there.

For many years when I lived in the house that is now known as Open Heavens House, I had a small room that I called my prayer room.

It is a room that was assigned as a place to pray and meet with God.

As a result of the constant prayers that went on there for long hours, a portal between heaven and earth was created there, just like the one we see in our Bible reading for today.

Many people had prayed for certain situations without results, however, when they entered that room to pray, testimonies followed.

For example, there have been records of people entering the prayer room with glaring physical defects, and by the time they would come out, the Lord would have touched them, and the defect would have disappeared.

What made the difference was not so much in the words they said but that they prayed in a place that had become a portal between heaven and earth.

When a place has been dedicated as a place of prayer, and intense prayers have been going on there for many years, you better believe that such a place is saturated with immense power.

You can pray on your own every day, but in addition to that, every time you have the opportunity to go to church to pray, please don’t miss it.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 JANUARY 2024 REFLECTION

The temple of God is a place that is saturated with tremendous power, make sure you go there to pray as often as you can.

RCCG HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
that calls me from a world of care, 
and bids me at my Father’s throne 
make all my wants and wishes known. 
In seasons of distress and grief, 
my soul has often found relief, 
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare 
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
the joys I feel, the bliss I share 
of those whose anxious spirits burn 
with strong desires for thy return! 
With such I hasten to the place 
where God my Savior shows his face, 
and gladly take my station there, 
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
thy wings shall my petition bear 
to him whose truth and faithfulness 
engage the waiting soul to bless. 
And since he bids me seek his face, 
believe his word, and trust his grace, 
I’ll cast on him my every care, 
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
