OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS THURSDAY 10TH MAY 2018: MINI HELL

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS THURSDAY 10TH MAY 2018: MINI HELL

MEMORISE: And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Luke 11:14

Please read: Matthew 18:23-25

MESSAGE:
The presence of an unforgiving spirit releases a type of smell that attracts demons. So,
eventually, the unforgiving fellow becomes an annex of Satan’s evil headquarters. No wonder good things coming the way of such a person are immediately diverted.

Are you holding a grudge against someone? At the end of the day, you are only troubling yourself; you will lose all your joy, peace and
rest. Are you not tormenting yourself instead of the person you are holding the grudge against? Open Heaven 12 May 2018

Stop holding yourself back. Stop living in a mini
hell! Go to that your friend in school that
offended you and make peace, buy something for
that your neighbor that you have been keeping malice with. You will discover great peace when
you do make peace with others.

KEY POINT:
You should forgive, not because you want to, but
because you need to. Without forgiveness, you
cannot access Heaven.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
1 Kings 21-22
John 3:1-21

Hymn 13
1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Memories
And if it seems evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve ; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood , or the gods of the amorites , in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the LORD.  Joshua 24:15

Open Heaven 12 May 2018 Bible Reading
Ruth 1:11-18

11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.

14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

Are you presently in any of life’s crossroads? God expects that your decisions would be the end result of a process of reflection on the available choices before you, informed and sustained by a concern to please Him.

You therefore need guidance from the Holy Spirit before making up your mind on any issue, especially the difficult ones. Our loving Father has provided assistance for our decision-making process through the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures, individuals and the natural world around us.

In Joshua chapter 24, the All-knowing God knew that the Israelites would soon have to make the conscious decision of either serving Him or the gods of the nations around them. He therefore presented His case on why the should serve Him by reminding them of how He brought Abraham their Father out of his native land, across the river, into the Promised Land.

He future recounted how He delivered them from slavery in Egypt and took them through the wilderness with miracle, signs and wonders attending every aspect of their journey. The Lord then announced to them that if they found it difficult to serve Him wholeheartedly after everything He had done for them, they were free to choose whom they would serve. However, Joshua immediately answered for himself that he and his family would serve the Lord

Why would God give his people the option of serving other gods? The truth of the matter is, our God’s leadership is not authoritarian or forceful. He will tell you his rules and regulations, and make his position on issues very clear.

He will also reveal what awaits you in the future based on the choices you make today. You can be sure that He would allow you to have your way, and He will also give you the opportunity to exercise your free will.

However, you must be ready to accept the repercussions of your choices and take responsibility for your actions at the end of it all. If you are a good student of the Bible you would observe that each time someone acted contrary to God’s word, they always suffer terribly for it. Open Heaven 11 May 2018

For example contrary to God’s warning, Is real decided to have a king instead of letting God lead them through His Prophets. They turned deaf ears to God’s warning in 1 Samuel 8:18 and they suffered terribly for it in the hands of Solomon and the succeeding kings. Open Heaven 10 May 2018

Rather than act in defiance to God’s instructions, it is always better to heed to His counsel. Be ready to reason with God in His word and through prayers, and you will be rewarded with divine directions that wills lead to your breakthrough (Isaiah 1:18)

The Great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
Sweetest note in seraph 
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Jesus, blessed Jesus!
2 Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,
Redemption wrought by Jesus.
3 All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
Oh, how my soul delights to hear
The charming name of Jesus!

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY 2018: CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY 2018: CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

MEMORISE: Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and
hath nothing in me. John14:30

Please read: Luke 22:31-34

MESSAGE:
A weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weakness. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he
identifies the fellow’s weakness and capitalises
on it.

Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter was a cowardly person – lacking in courage. He discovered this on the day Peter set
out to walk on water with Jesus. He kept this discovery close to his heart until Jesus was about to be crucified; then he arranged the
circumstances and Peter eventually denied his master thrice. This denial was so bad that if not for the Lord’s intervention, it could have kept Peter permanently separated from the Lord. Open Heaven 10 May 2018

Are you committing certain sins secretly which you cannot openly tell another person? Deal with
that weakness now before the devil hijacks it and gets you to deny Christ. If Satan should have any grounds for accusing you today, he will
rightfully quote scriptures to back up his claims. Open Heaven 11 May 2018

This is why you must overcome your weaknesses
and quit sinning secretly so as not to give him anything to charge you with.

ACTION POINT:
What property of the devil (sin) is with you right now? Dispose of them and be completely free like Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 19-20
John 2

Hymn 16
1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.

2. Principalities and power,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.

3. Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.

4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warriors’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.

5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.

6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS TUESDAY 8TH MAY 2018: WATCH YOU EXPRESSIONS

MEMORISE: The light of the eyes rejoiceth the
heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
Proverbs 15:30

Please read: 1 Peter 3:8-12

MESSAGE:
Expressions can be described as the way you make your thoughts or feelings known verbally or
non-verbally. Your character can be measured by the way you express yourself. Open Heaven 9 May 2018

Many people were
judged on a first time basis by the way they
expressed themselves, and this either brought
positive or negative benefits to them.

You expressions can also be the look on your face when you are in certain situations. How do you look when you are being scolded or corrected?

Also, do you carry a long face when things are not going your way?
How do you express your thoughts, words and
emotions? Do you have a hostile look on your face when you talk to people?

Watch your
expressions. Watch the look on your face, learn to be more approachable by smiling often. Speak softly and kindly to people. Let your expressions
reflect Christ in you at all times.

KEY POINT:
Your expressions will determine how people relate with you – whether they run away from you or they become friends with you.

The Savior who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?

Open Heaven 11 May 2018 – Spiritual Sensitivity

Open Heaven 11 May 2018 – Spiritual Sensitivity

Memories
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby have some entertained Angel’s unawares. Hebrews 13:2

Open Heaven 11 May 2018 Read 1 Corinthians 2:9-16

Bible in one Year: 1 Samuel 26-28, James 3:13-4:17

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

In the physical realm, sensitivity can be viewed from the perspective of a deep feeling of love and compassion for a person, usually translates to a commensurate level of understanding for that person’s needs, leading to appropriate actions being taken in that person’s interest.

In the spiritual realm however, sensitively is a quality of life generated by the Spirit of God. It is the ability to perceive and respond to the call of God or the spiritual demand of the moment.

A lack of spiritual sensitivity affects the physical and spiritual wellbeing of God’s children and must be avoided at all costs.Beginning from today, your spiritual antennas will begin to recieve heavenly signals in the Name of Jesus. Concerning spiritual sensitivity, 1 Corinthians 2:14 says 

“Buy the natural mam recieveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.”

From this verse, we understand that spiritual sensitivity is a grace that comes form living under the control of the holy spirit. Are you spiritually sensitive?

In Isaiah 11:3b, the Holy Spirit painted a picture of our spiritual nature , which is fashioned after Christ, saying
“….and he shall nor judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”

Our Lord Jesus Christ manifested this nature on John 4:17-19 and in several other passages of the gospels. Because we are fashioned after Him, we ought to walk as He walked. Spiritual sensitivity was Jesus’ lifestyle, and so, any Christian that is not spiritually sensitive will not walk in the reality of the abundant life that he or she possesses.

Without spiritual sensitivity, a person is bound to depend on suspicion, natural intelligence, educational awareness and the natural senses. These are all deficient in receiving the things of God.

Open Heaven 11 May 2018

Without spiritual sensitivity, Abraham would have missed his blessing and the opportunity to say lot and his family from destruction ( Genesis 18:1-33), Samson’s parents would have missed a wonderful choice of a lifetime (Judges 13:3-25), and the great Prophet Samuel would have anointed the wrong person as king over Israel (1 Samuel 16:4-13). Open Heaven 10 May 2018

When decisions are made based on physical evidence alone, no matter how incontrovertible the evidence may seem, there is still always the possibility of miscarriage of justice. This has wrongly sent people to jail and even death. I pray that your spiritual sensitivity would become sharpened today in Jesus’ name

8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

Open Heaven 10 May 2018 Message with Hymn

Jehovah-Nissi is a name of the Lord that has its roots in Exodus 17:15. After Joshua and the Israelites had defeated the Amalekites at Rephidim, Moses erected an altar to commemorate this victory and he called it “Jehovah-Nissi”, which means “Yahweh is my banner”. In other words he was saying ” the Lord is my banner of victory.”

This name is a call to God’s people to rally around God as an army gathers around its banner, because God is the One who leads us to victory. To understand the significance if the name Jehovah-Nissi, we need to remind ourselves that the devil is constantly waging spiritual battles against us. Open Heaven 9 May 2018

While the forces of darkness vigorously pursue newly converted Christians in order to obstruct their spiritual progress , the are also on the look-out for any opportunity to pull mature Christians down.

However, in spite of these aggressive attacks of the enemy, God expects us to rejoice, knowing fully well that although the battle may be fierce, the Lord of host and the Captain of our salvation is on our midst leading the charge against the enemy’s camp. In Matthew 28:20 He said 

“…. Lo, I am with you always,even unto the end of the world.Amen.”

As Jehovah-Nissi, God is concerned about the devil’s roars and attempts to harass and intimidate His children (1 Peter 15:14:
“And when he came unto lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosened from off his hands.”

The enemy’s roars and shouts against us always triggers a response from the Holy Spirit living inside us. No wonder Isaiah 59:19b says,
” When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

God has zero tolerance for the enemy’s harassments and threats against his children, whom he bought with the precious Blood of His Son, Jesus. With this understanding, you will realise that our God is the greatest ally you can have in the battle of life.

Open Heaven 10 May 2018

The Almighty God is Jehovah-Nissi, the Lord our Banner, and He is the Lord of host. Therefore, the battle is not yours but His. Always be conscious of the reality of the Lord as Jehovah-Nissi in your life

Our warfare as Christians is a fight of faith that is purely restricted to the spiritual realm. Although our spiritual warfare is personal we must not engage in it on the basis of our individual effort or strength. We must continually channel the strength of God and the victory we have through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus against the forces of darkness for as long as we live.

Our fight of faith calls for courage to withstand dreadful circumstances, determination to overcome at all costs a d persistent prayers. It also calls for loyalty to fight under the banner of Christ, the Lord of hosts, standing in His strength and using the weapons He has provided.

“For though we walk in The flesh, we do not war after the flesh: ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but might through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4

The Holy Spirit inspired this verses of the scripture to help us have a good understanding of the true nature of Spiritual warfare and the patency of our God-ordained weapons, even though they may appear ordinary to many.

We are commanded in Ephesians 6:11& 13 to “put on” and “take on” the whole armour of God. What makes up the complete armour of God? According to today’s Bible reading , the number one component of this armour is Truth, which refers to Jesus Himself (John 14:6).

Next is holiness and righteousness, and then comes the gospel of peace, faith in Hod , salvation, the word of God , persistent prayers, and finally, watching and preserverance. The Bible assures us that when these weapons are complete, they are effective in pulling down the strongholds of the devil, casting down every imagination of the enemy that is contrary to the purpose of God, and bringing into captivity every thought and device to obedience of Christ.

Our duty is to ensure that we put on the whole armour of God and use it to resist the kingdom of darkness. We know we are victorious because the Lord of hosts Himself has already perfected our victory
