OPEN HEAVEN 23 FEBRUARY 2024 BIBLE READING Acts 28:1-6

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

When I realised that if God hadn’t found me, I would have remained as a university lecturer heading towards hell, I made up my mind not to be an ordinary Christian.

A mathematician who doesn’t want to be ordinary will study those who excelled and reached the top, like Pythagoras and other great mathematicians.

As I didn’t want to be an ordinary Christian, I spent three years studying some people who God used mightily.

One of such was Elijah. If you have listened to my series of sermons titled ‘Going Higher’ (they can be found on Dove TV’s YouTube channel) you will know that l have spent a lot of time studying Elijah.

I also studied Paul because he was an academic, a professor of law that went into ministry like me and ended well. I found out that according to 2 Timothy 4:6-8, he was a diligent man.

Paul was diligent in every facet of his life. In Acts 28:1-6, when there was a shipwreck on the Island of Malta, while everyone was gathered around the fire because of the cold, it was Paul who went out to fetch firewood.

In the earlier days, during the RCCG conventions, my boys and l used to fetch firewood for the conventions.

We also washed plates and did other menial work with joy.

Whenever it was time to wash plates and anyone wanted to collect the sponge from me, I would tell them, “Wash your own portion of plates, let me wash mine.”

The hands that cannot do manual labour for the kingdom cannot heal the sick.

When a programme is going on in your church, do not shy away from doing menial work.

Get your hands dirty, and you will be amazed how the anointing will begin to surge through your fingers.

Many of the Assistant General Overseers in RCCG now were my boys in those days.

This is because it is those you knew to be diligent when you were starting out that you can trust to remain diligent when you are successful.

I have seen people advise that there are lots of people with great callings these days. They may have a calling, but have they been tested? Your calling is never enough to succeed.

Can we put you in charge of something and go to sleep knowing that you will do the work as it should be done?

Only those who are diligent can make full proof of their calling.

OPEN HEAVEN 23 FEBRUARY 2024 KEY POINTS

A calling without diligence will yield no success.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 FEBRUARY 2024 BIBLE READING Luke 16:19-31

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

OPEN HEAVEN 22 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Many people that are living in the world today are carried away by the pleasures of sin.

They think they are living the life now, but they have forgotten that they should be more concerned with their end than their present state.

The time we have on earth is like a passing wind.

There is a place where everyone will report to when they close their eyes in death, and we will all be in that place for eternity.

My question to you now is, when you get to eternity, on what side will you be, on the side of heaven or hell?

The Bible says that when the Lord shall return, He is going to separate the people into two; the sheep will be on His right-hand side and the goats on the left (Matthew 25:31-46).

Ask yourself sincerely, “Which side of God will I be at the end?” It is not where I am now that matters most, but where I will end up in eternity.

One reason I am not afraid of death is because I am sure that dying in this world only gives me access to the eternal presence of God in heaven.

If you are not sure where you will go when you leave this world, then you should be afraid of death.

The interesting thing is, whether you fear death or not, everyone has an appointment with it that cannot be missed.

When that day comes, I hope you will be on the right-hand side of God.

If you are standing for God now, please keep standing.

Pray to God that He keeps you standing unto the end because it doesn’t matter how long anyone may have served God, if he backslides and death catches up with him in his backslidden state, he will perish in hell as we see in Ezekiel 18:24:

But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

On the other hand, someone may have been a sinner all his life, but close to when he is to die, if he repents and begins to live like Christ, that fellow will make it to heaven at the end (Ezekiel 18:21-22).

It is only those who endure unto the end that will be saved (Matthew 24:13).

OPEN HEAVEN 22 FEBRUARY 2024 PRAYER POINTS

Father, Jude 1:24 says that You are the One that can keep a person from falling. Please keep me standing unto the end, in Jesus’ name.

[1](A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
[2]Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
[3]Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

[4]Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

When I examine the nature of human beings, I can’t but marvel at the wonders of God and how He made everyone unique with different temperaments.
1 Corinthians 12 mentions different gifts that we operate in as God’s children, while other gifts include the gifts of giving and help.

While some people find it difficult to give or to help someone in need, others do it effortlessly because that is how they are wired.

The same goes for the gift of gratitude, which I noticed in the life of King David.
Right from his teenage years, while rearing his father’s sheep, he expressed constant gratitude to God everywhere he went.
When the Ark of Covenant was brought into Jerusalem, he danced so much that his wife mocked him for dancing shamelessly in front of the people, however, David counted it as an honour to God.
No wonder God had mercy on him and referred to him as ‘a man after my heart.’
Being grateful from a young age is an advantage because elders in Yoruba land say, “When a fellow doesn’t give thanks for the goodness done to him yesterday, it is synonymous with robbery.”
Have you been robbing God and people by failing to show gratitude?

O LORD MY GOD, WHEN AM IN AWESOME WONDER

1. O lord my God!
When am in awesome wonder,
consider all
The worlds thy hands hath made
I see the stars,

I heard the rolling thunder
Thy pow’r thro’ out
The universe displayed
Then sing my soul,
My savior God to thee;

How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sing my soul,
My savior God to thee;
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
2. Then through the woods
And forest glads I wander,
And hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the tress;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
3. And when I think
That God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die
I scare can take it in;
That on the cross,
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin.
4. When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
My God how great Thou art!

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 FEBRUARY 2024 TUESDAY: KING OMRI

MEMORISE: And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Genesis 22:18

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Kings 16:21-28
[21]Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
[22]But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
[23]In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
[24]And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
[25]But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
[26]For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
[27]Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[28]So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

MESSAGE:
Omri reigned for 12 years in Israel and the Bible records that he was worse than the kings who reigned before him (1 Kings 16:25). He had to fight for the throne because some of the people wanted a man named Tibni to be king. However, Tibni died during a battle, and Omri seized control of the throne.
Despite how evil Omri was, he was able to purchase a hill called Samaria, which became the capital of Israel and remained so for a long time. The city of Samaria and its surrounding area later became the home of the despised Samaritans during Jesus’ time. This discovery made me remember how God gave us several hectares of land in Osun state, in South-Western Nigeria, for many years, and this later became the base of Redeemer’s University about ten years later.
My dear child, there will be people, skills, and things that God will allow you to have now which will be a blessing to you and generations after you in the future. I pray that you will be sensitive to decipher them and be wise enough to retain them.

KEY POINT:
God’s blessings are not for you alone

HYMN 17: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING
1. “There shall be showers of blessing”
This is the promise of love;
There shall be season refreshing
Send from a savior above

CHORUS
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drop round are falling
But for the showers we plead.

2. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys;
Sound of abundance of rain.

3. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Send them upon us Oh Lord!
Grant to us a refreshing;
Come now and honour Thy Word.

4. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Oh, that today thy might fall,
Now as to God we are confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

5. “There shall be showers of blessing”
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be season refreshing,
If we let God have his way.

To live and survive on this earth, you need more than food.

Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 that you need every single word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.

This implies that you must be very particular about hearing from God regularly.

Many people think that prayer is a one-way traffic, that is, they go to God, tell Him all their problems, and that is all.

No!

The most important part of prayer is hearing what God has to say concerning situations.

It is the entrance of His word that brings light (Psalm 119:130).

Many times, when I face a difficult situation, and I cry to God for help and he does not say anything back to me, I say, “I’m in trouble,” and I continue crying unto Him.

When at last I hear from Him, then I know that the problem is over.

Even if what I hear is a rebuke, the fact that He is answering at all shows that He has heard me and that something is going to happen.

The Bible recorded in 1 Samuel 30:1-18 how David and his men had lost their family members and possessions to the Amalekites and how they recovered all after seeking guidance from God.

It was a very dark moment for them before God spoke to them.

The men had cried themselves sore and were so dejected that they began to contemplate killing David.

Thankfully, David acted wisely and sought the face of God on what to do, and when they acted on God’s counsel, they recovered all.

In the memory verse for today, Habakkuk said that he will stand upon his watch to see what God’s response to him will be.

Beloved, what is God saying about the prayer requests you have put before Him?

What is God saying about your family, your future, and your career?

If you are a child of God, you should note that God also wants to speak to you concerning your situation.

Unfortunately, many believers fail to wait on Him to hear what He has to say to them.

In Jeremiah 33:3, God said, “Call on me and I will answer.” He didn’t say, “I may answer” or “I will consider answering.” He said, “I WILL answer.”

So, when you go to Him in prayers, tell Him, “Lord, I will not rest until you have answered me.”

Hebrews 11:6 says that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

You only reward someone who has done something of good report and has done it well, therefore, what the passage is really telling us is that God wants people to seek Him diligently.

This is why God told David clearly to seek His face, and what was David’s response?

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Psalm27:8

David said, “God, when you ask me to seek your face, my heart says, ‘Your face will I seek.’” Today, God is asking you to spend time seeking His face.

What will your response be?

You seek God through Bible study and prayers.

While others do these things like every other activity, those who diligently seek God go the extra mile.

They study their Bible for hours, going deeper and deeper into just one topic until they really understand God’s mind about that topic.

To them, prayer is not an event, it is a lifestyle. Every time you see them, they are praying because 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says that we must pray without ceasing.

When they actually set out time to pray, they don’t just put words together, they pour out their hearts to God and their major yearning is,

“Lord, I want to know You more.”

They spend multiple hours just having heart-to-heart talks with God.

Beloved, seek God’s face daily until you fall asleep and even while you are sleeping.

Solomon said that even when He is sleeping, his heart is awake, and can hear his beloved asking to come in unto him (Song of Solomon 5:2).

David also described how he thinks about God on his bed at night and how his soul follows hard after God in Psalm 63:6-8. These are descriptions of how true love is expressed.

Is this also your experience with God as your beloved?

There is great reward in diligently seeking the Lord. Beloved, spend your days seeking God and God alone.

Seek Him while you are eating; let all your yearning be for Him.

When you diligently seek Him, He will open Himself up in ways that the regular Christian may never see.

There are things God has revealed to me in the Spirit that I cannot share publicly because people who have not sought Him diligently may never understand.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 FEBRUARY 2024 BIBLE TEXT MATTHEW 25:35-40

[35]For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

[36]Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

[40]And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Loving your neighbour is not just a feel-good notion or a nice idea, rather, it is a command from God, a call to action, and a duty that you must fulfill.

You must love your neighbours selflessly, unconditionally, and sacrificially.

This kind of love goes beyond mere words; it requires us to put our love into action by serving, helping, and being there for those in need.

Just like today’s Bible reading tells us, when you love your neighbours, you are loving Jesus Himself, and this truly pleases God.

It is important to love your neighbours because when you love them, you show the love of Christ to the world.

You become an ambassador of God’s love, spreading the message of hope and peace to those around you.

As you show love to your neighbours, you will also be blessed.

Note that your neighbour is not restricted to only those living beside or around you.

Anyone in need of your help is your neighbour, therefore, you should not ignore the needs of the people who are not living close to you.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 FEBRUARY 2024 KEY POINT

Love your neighbour as yourself.

No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our souls’ diseases,
No, not one! no, not one!

Refrain:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one! no, not one!

2 No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! no, not one!

3. There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! no, not one!

4. Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! no, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! no, not one!

No, not one! no, not one!
