OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

The gospel of Jesus should not be kept to oneself; it is meant to be preached to others.
At times but an opportunity will not present itself.
However, even if it seems like the right opportunities are not forthcoming, you must learn to create them, as delay can be fatal for someone who needs to hear the gospel.
Some people start preaching by focusing on destruction or spending eternity in hell – do not do this. Rather tell people about God’s love before talking about hell if you must.

You can start up a conversation by asking if a fellow has heard about Jesus.
Then, go ahead and tell him or her about the miracles Jesus performed in the Bible. For instance, how Jesus raised Lazarus, who had died for four days (John 11:38-44).

Tell him or her about Jesus’ death on the cross as a show of love.
You can also talk about your experience with Him – how He saved you.
Sometimes, all you need to do is share your own salvation experience; the sinful things you used to do before Christ saved you and how He helped you to overcome them.
That is the good news!
My dear child, always ask the Holy Spirit to fill your mouth with the right words.
You should also bear in mind that the Holy Spirit Himself does the conversion, so don’t beat yourself up if you get shunned.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 JANUARY 2024 KEY POINT

Tell people about the love of God and how it has changed you; that is the good news.

HYMN 7 – WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE
1. Wonderful story of love!
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love!
Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love!
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!

2. Wonderful story of love!
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love!
Still he doth call today.
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation;
Wonderful story of love!
3. Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love!
For all the pure and blest;
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus;
Wonderful story of love!

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

My fifth resolution is that this year, I am going to be very deliberate about putting all my trust in God, and none in man.

I will do so because God said,

“Vain is the help of man” (Psalm 60:11). You may have discovered that several of the people you thought will help you have let you down, but there is a God who never fails, and He will not fail you this year.

I went to my village in the 1980s after I had just become the General Overseer of the RCCG, and someone said to me, “Now that you are the General Overseer, you will need a befitting house to host dignitaries that may have cause to visit you here, especially when you have one ceremony or the other”.

I agreed with him, and he said he would help me to build the house.

He told me that he produces blocks, so he will supply me with all the blocks I’ll need to build the house, and I can pay him for them whenever I can afford to.

I believed God was behind it all, and I was very happy.

Beloved, when somebody offers you help, check first with God to be sure it’s from Him.

I built the house, and the very day I roofed it, he asked me to pay for all the blocks he had supplied. I was shocked.

This man had said that I could pay anytime I had the money.

I had just roofed the house and hadn’t even put doors or windows! Deep within me, I was sorrowful.

I said toGod, “Lord, you know I have never done anything that I cannot handle; it was this man who lured me into this.

Please have mercy on me, don’t let me be put to shame.” I prayed all night and fell asleep at my desk.

When I woke up, there was a man standing at my doorstep.

He said he came all the way from the north, and that God told him to give me an envelope.

I collected the envelope, prayed for him, and he left.

After he left, I opened the envelope; it was the exact amount that I was owing!

There is a God who is the ever-present help in times of trouble.

This year, He is ready to help you, but you must put all your trust in Him.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 JANUARY 2024 REFLECTION

When you have a problem, who do you ask for help, God or man? Your answer shows whom you trust more.

RCCG HYMN 30: 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.

Refrain:
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

3. 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. [Refrain]

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

The world truly needs Jesus because His second coming is closer than ever.
Therefore, it is important to learn how to win souls effectively.
Yesterday, I gave some tips on how to effectively win souls.
Today, we will consider some more tips:
1. Build relationships with others, especially those that need Christ, just as Jesus often dined with sinners (Matthew 9:10-13).
However, you must be careful not to go to places where you will be in danger or be lured into sin.
Cultivate friendships with those who need Christ in your school and neighbourhood, but be accountable to a mature spiritual Christian to guide you.
The Lord might have placed you in your school or workplace to reach those whom no one else can reach.
2. Read the Scriptures to understand them and memorise them. Memorise Scriptures like Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9-13, and 1 John 5:1 and 13.
Proceed to recite them in front of a mirror or to another Christian until you are comfortable sharing them with a prospective convert.

Not one day of service give Him
Lay no trophy at His feet?
Must I go and empty handed?
Must I meet my Saviour so?

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2024 MEMORIZE: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JANUARY 2024 BIBLE READING 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Have a fruitful Wednesday, Beloved

Daily Confession: I confess this Wednesday that my heart is open, and I will not suffer in silence. I boldly ask for God’s intervention, trusting in His love and provision. My prayers are not limited by fear, and I am confident that as I seek His help, He will shine His face upon me and my household, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

As a young farmer’s boy, I noticed that my father sets aside the best crops for planting because the quality and quantity of the seed planted is a major determinant of the quality and quantity of the harvest. The word of God is clear about this.

If you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly, and if you sow bountifully, you will reap bountifully
(2 Corinthians 9:6).

This year, like never before, I am going to give because I know that when I give, there will be a harvest.

I will give cheerfully because God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7), and I need His favour. If you are expecting a big harvest this year, make up your mind to sow bountifully.

I remember a time when we were preparing for our annual convention, and I needed N17,000 to install roofing sheets on the first auditorium we erected in Redemption City.

I had only N1,000 and was praying to God for the remaining N16,000 when one of my pastors came into my office to ask for N1,000.

He needed the money to roof the shed he was building to accommodate members under his jurisdiction during the convention.

I told him I also needed money and sent him out of my office. As he was leaving, God spoke to me and said, “Call him back and give him that N1,000.” I grumbled because it was difficult, but l obeyed all the same.

After the pastor had left joyfully with my N1,000 in his pocket, God said, “Son, why are you grumbling? There were two problems; I used you to solve one.

The one you cannot solve, leave it to me.” Some hours later, someone came all the way from Port Harcourt and said, “Sir, I have just collected rent from my tenants, and the Almighty God said I should bring it to you.”

He gave me an envelope, and I blessed him. When I opened the envelope, it contained N17.000!

This year, I will increase my giving towards the work of God and win souls into His kingdom more than ever before.

It is written that as long as this world continues to exist, seedtime and harvest shall never cease (Genesis 8:22).

Why don’t you make up your mind like me to also sow towards the work of God more than ever before this year?

God never fails on His promises. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6).

Practice this resolution now. Look for a need in the church and sow towards it.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 4 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

In the book of Acts, the Christians in the early Church went everywhere preaching the word as instructed the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sadly, many believers today are complacent about this The truth is, if you truly love the Lord yu will fish for souls every day.

Here are some tips to evangelise effectively:

1. Ask God to give you a burden for souls. Ask Him to tell you a handful of people that you can earnestly pray for to be saved. Afterwards, make list with those names: pray over them every day and pray for an opportunity to win them to Christ.

2. Live a consistent Christian life.

Jesus said that you are the light of the world, so let your light shine for people to see and glorify God (Matthew 5:14-16).

In today’s world, Christianity is perceived as a way o
life.

Therefore, you must live obedience, love when others hate and forgive when others harbour grudges.

You must have a growing relationship with God that will make people recognize and respect you character, making them want to serve God as well

In today’s Bible reading, we read about military operation that was carried out at night when people would normally be relaxing.

Hence. you need to be careful about your times of relaxation and what you do during these times.

For example, we can see in Genesis 9:20-27 how Noah the man God rescued with his family when the entire world got wiped out, relaxed and get drunk.

This made him pronounce a curse on his younger son who mocked him far being naked. It was also during a period of relaxation that Samson lost his hair and strength.

He relaxed on Delilah’s knees and the enemy took advantage of his distraction (Judges 16-19). The enemy always looks out for periods of relaxation so that he can attack.

My dear child, be mindful of how you relax and the places you go to relax. A lot of young people have been poisoned while they were relaxing with friends over drinks.

Some girls have lost their integrity and others have been kidnapped or even killed while “relaxing”. Your destiny will not be destroyed in Jesus name.

This year do not relax in studying your Bible, praying, giving, working for God and evangelism. Do not give the devil the opportunity to attack. Stay alert at all times.

Open Heaven 2 January 2024 Tuesday

OPEN HEAVEN 3 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

I started sharing what you may call my ‘New Year resolutions’ yesterday and I will be discussing the second resolution on my list today.

This year, I will open my mouth and tell God exactly how things are with me. I have discovered from experience that many people have become so good at pretending that all is well when all is not, even before God, the One who knows everything.

In our Bible reading today, the men of Jericho revealed the true state of their city to Elisha and God used the prophet to put an end to the problem in their land.

Come to think of it however, Elijah, the spiritual father of Elisha, walked among the people of Jericho for years, but it was not recorded in the Bible that they informed him of the problems they were facing. They suffered for so long because of their silence!

This year, I have decided that I am not going to suffer in silence. I am going to tell the Almighty God what my problems are; I am going to tell Him everything because I know that He will solve them all.

I will not wait until I am about to lose things that are precious to me before I cry out like the widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 did.

I visited one of my uncles many years ago and his wife served me pounded yam about the size of a baby’s fist.

If I had intended to stay for one day, I would have kept my mouth shut, but I was going to stay for one week and pounded yam of that size will not satisfy me at all. I was very young, and I had a healthy appetite.

So, I called the woman, “Excuse me ma’am, am I welcome here?” She said, “Yes, of course you are.” I said, “In that case, this pounded yam cannot satisfy me; please let me have some more.”

She went into her bedroom, and I did not know what she told her husband, but I heard them laughing. I couldn’t have cared less; as long as she came back with more pounded yam, I was fine.

This year, ensure that you do not pretend or form as the youths will say, before God. Tell Him exactly where the shoe hurts.

Make up your mind like me to ask for His help more than ever before and He will surely answer you (Matthew 21:22).

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JANUARY 2024 BIBLE READING 2 Kings 5:1-14

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.

And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.

And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

My 2024 is covered with PRAISE and WORSHIP to God Most High, in the mighty name of Jesus

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

This year, I have decided that I will humble myself more than ever before.

I will ask anyone who can assist me for help, irrespective of their status.

Many people do not have a problem with asking for help from someone who is ‘superior’ to them, but a lot find it difficult to seek for help from people they consider to be beneath them.

This sort of attitude robs many people of their blessings.

When I was in secondary school, I was good at Mathematics and other subjects, but I knew that I needed extra coaching to pass the English Language.

In those days, it didn’t matter how brilliant you were; if you passed all other subjects and failed the English Language, you’d be considered a failure.

I asked a junior of mine who was born in England and had a very good command of English Language to teach me, and I got an A!

He can boast today that he taught me, but it wouldn’t matter because I already have my certificate.

This year, don’t let pride hold you back from the help you can get to fulfil your destiny.

Unfortunately, however, many proud people don’t know that they are proud.

Some of them even boast about their pride and give it fancy names like self-esteem, self-confidence and so on.

Beloved, any level of self-esteem that makes people afraid to approach you is pride.

Someone may know the solution to your problem, but because of how you carry yourself as if you own the world, he or she may not approach you with the solution.

You need to humble yourself, smile more, speak warmly to people, and make it easy for them to speak to you.

In our Bible reading for today, we can learn a lot from Naaman and his wife.

First, his wife was approachable, and the maid was able to talk to her about her husband’s embarrassing problem.

Also, when Naaman got to Elisha’s place and got angry that Elisha did not come out to pray for him, it was one of his servants who advised him, and he heeded the advice.

The cure to Naaman’s leprosy was tied to people that were considered inferior to him; thank God he was humble enough to listen to them.

This year, make it your resolution to humble yourself more than ever before.

Remember, God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JANUARY 2024 ACTION POINT

The solution to your problem may be with someone of a lower status than you. Humble yourself to get that help.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 JANUARY 2024 MEMORIZE: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 JANUARY 2024 BIBLE READING 1 Samuel 30:1-8

[1]And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
[2]And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
[3]So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
[4]Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
[5]And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
[6]And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
[7]And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
[8]And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

Prophetic Word For 2024 By Apostle Joshua Selman

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Today’s Bible reading talks about David, who cried so hard after his enemies took away his family and possessions.
David’s helpless situation turned around when he asked God for a strategy.
God told him to move ahead and assured him that he would overtake his enemies and recover all they had taken if he pursued them.
If David had gone after his enemies based on his instincts alone, he might not have recovered anything.
There are many people today who have a one-size-fits-all approach to every situation, They always stick with their plans, and they don’t try to seek new ways to achieve their goals.
For instance, if the plans you made at the beginning of last year failed, you should re-examine the plans and make adjustments rather than throw away your goals altogether.
You should understand the reasons your plans fails and re-plan, but don’t forget to ask God for a strategy.
My dear child, it is wise to own a journal &or a vision board, as this will help you to document your progress as you towards achieving your goals.
There are many ways to achieve a goal, however you need the right stretegy.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 2 JANUARY 2024 ACTION POINTS:

Don’t just make plans to achieve goals, ask God for a strategy.

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.

Happy New Year 2024

OPEN HEAVEN 2 JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE

One of my sons while preaching some time ago said Jacob laboured for 14 years to get the woman he wanted to marry (Genesis 29:18-30) while Isaac simply took a stroll and came back with a wife (Genesis 24:63-67). One had favour, the other exerted labour.

The moment he said that, I made up my mind that I am going to enjoy God’s favour in every area of my life. This decision led me to make what you will probably call ‘New Year resolutions’.

These resolutions are deliberate steps I will take towards basking in divine favour for the rest of my life. I am going to share these steps with you over the next six days and I want to encourage you to take them very seriously.

Please do not treat them like the typical New Year resolutions that are often quickly forgotten in the course of the year.

This year, like never before, I am determined to praise and worship God with all my heart and strength. Whenever you eulogise someone from the bottom of your heart, you can get that fellow to volunteer to help you.

I will worship and praise God so much that He will volunteer to help me like He did for Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26.

My biological father was so poor that whenever the time came for school fees to be paid, he will pick quarrels with his two wives so that they wouldn’t be able to ask for the children’s school fees.

However, my mother knew how to get my school fees. She would go into my father’s room and eulogize him to the extent that he would ask her, “What can I do for you today?”

My mother would promptly ask for my school fees and he would immediately promise to see to it that my school fees are paid.

This year, I am going to praise and worship God more than ever before. Like David who also enjoyed divine favour all through his life, I will bless God at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1).

I will never stop praising His holy name. I will be intentional in praising Him at all times. I will praise Him with everything within me (Psalm 103:1).

I will speak of His greatness at all times and He will cover me specially with His favour all through this year and beyond.

I will praise my God forever (Psalm 145:1-2). What about you?

OPEN HEAVEN 2 JANUARY 2024 PRAYER POINT

Spend quality time praising God today and make this a daily practice going forward.
