¹¹ Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

¹² And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.

¹³ And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.

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 loosed from off his hands.

¹⁵ And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

An electric iron is really just a piece of iron until it is connected to electricity.

When you connect an electric iron into electricity, it becomes something you can smoothen your rough clothes with.

A television basically is a screen with some components and wires attached to it. When there is no electricity, it is just there, capable of nothing.

However, the moment you connect it to electricity, you will be able to see what is happening in another part of the world in real time.

This is how the anointing works, it changes the ordinary to the extraordinary.

In Judges 15:14-15, when they brought Samson before the Philistines, and they began to rejoice, the Bible says that the Spirit of God came mightily upon him and the ropes binding him were burnt as with fire.

Then, he grabbed the jawbone of a dead ass, and as soon as the jawbone came in contact with the anointing, it became a weapon of mass destruction.

The anointing turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Electricity, in its raw form, is like fire. You may not see it that way because it is controlled before it is passed into your house.

In the same vein, the anointing is fire. When the Holy Ghost fell on the people at the upper room, they could see cloven tongues of fire on each person’s head.

The difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle is fire. You can ride up to 100 kilometres on a bicycle using your physical strength, but by the time you are done, they may need to pour water on you.

However, if you are on a motorcycle, you will cover the same distance in less time and without stress.

That is what the anointing does. When you see a man working like ten men put together, and instead of getting tired, he remains fresh, the anointing is the difference.

So, whenever you are anointed, what you are receiving is the firepower to achieve things that are beyond your normal capacity.

The anointing is not only for pastors. An anointed doctor will successfully handle medical cases that other doctors cannot handle.

An anointed businessman will achieve greater feats than his normal capacity can achieve.

When the anointing comes upon you, you are empowered to do more than you can ever imagine.

For example, the anointing made Elijah outrun Ahab’s chariot (1 Kings 18:46).

Beloved, I encourage you to seek God’s anointing; it will give you tremendous speed and turn your life around for good.

When the anointing comes on you, you become extraordinary.

There is this story of four boys who were discussing about their fathers; each boasted about his own.

The first said his father was the greatest because he was the Head of State.

The second boy said his father was greater than the father of the first boy because his father was the physician of the Head of State, and if his father ordered the Head of State to stay in bed for one week, he would obey him.

The third boy then said his father was higher than their fathers because his father was their fathers’ medicine man, so he could kill the two fathers.

The fourth boy, who was the son of a messenger, said his father was the greatest of all four fathers because not only could his father kill all their fathers, but he could also raise the dead.

They were amazed; then he told them he was not referring to his physical father but the One above, who is the Most High God.

From the memory verse, the Most High God, whom the fourth boy in the story talked about, has a secret place which accommodates His own when in trouble.

As His child, you already have access to this place. The only thing that can separate you from this place is sin.

Never play with sin so that you can remain in God’s secret place.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 APRIL 2024 MESSAGE

Many brings about miracles. When they see a man of God lay hands on a sick person and the sick person gets healed, they want to know what passed from his hand into the sick fellow’s body that caused the healing.

When they say someone fell under the anointing, the question is, what is the anointing?

The anointing can be described as ‘heavenly electricity’, generated by the Holy Spirit.

In other words, just like we have electricity here on earth that powers most of our appliances, the anointing is the electricity of heaven.

When you see an anointed fellow, that fellow has connected himself to the generator of the anointing in heaven, which is the Holy Spirit, and he now has the heavenly electricity flowing in him.

Acts 1:8 says that you will receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. It is that connection with the Holy Ghost that makes the anointing flow through you.

You must note, however, that the anointing is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the generator of the anointing. The Holy Spirit is God Himself.

How then do you connect with the Holy Spirit in order to get the anointing?

The first thing you must note is that He is called the Holy Spirit because He cannot be near anything that is unholy.

If you want to connect with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy.

God will not anoint a sinner. Amos 3:3 says that two cannot walk together except they be agreed. If you are not holy, the Holy Spirit cannot work in you.

Also, just as you connect with a man when you speak his language, you connect with the Holy Spirit when you speak in tongues.

The more you speak in tongues, the more heavenly electricity you are generating into your body and the more anointed you will be.

You see, how anointed you are depends heavily on how much faith you have.

Jude 1:20 says that you build up your holy faith by speaking in the Holy Ghost. So, the more you speak in the Holy Ghost, the greater your faith will be.

The greater your faith, the more anointing you will have to do the impossible.

You must note also that there are some levels of the anointing that you cannot reach if you don’t add regular fasting to your regular prayers (Matthew 17:21).

OPEN HEAVEN 4 APRIL 2024 REFLECTION

Build up your faith by speaking in tongues regularly and seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit if you are yet to receive it.

THEME: EVANGELISM: KNOWN TO UNKNOWN

MEMORISE: For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Acts 17:23

READ: Acts 17:22-28
[22]Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
[23]For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
[24]God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
[25]Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
[26]And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
[27]That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
[28]For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

MESSAGE
In today’s Bible reading, Paul wanted to win a community for God. He noticed that the people had already set up an altar dedicated to an ‘unknown God,’ so he decided to start from there. When you want to catch a fish, you need a bait to attract it into your net or hook; this is similar to evangelism. To approach people with the message of the gospel, find a possible point of interest, and they will warm up to you.
I remember a colleague of mine at the University of Lagos who had an academic challenge. One day, I approached him and told him how I was helped with my Ph.D. thesis. Then he asked, “Who helped you?” I replied, “Professor Emmanuel. He told me to separate my theories, solve them independently and bring the answers together to finalise the equation.” My colleague was very curious about meeting this knowledgeable Professor, and that was how I got his attention. By the time I was done explaining that Jesus showed me the answer to my thesis through the parting of the Red Sea in the book of Exodus, he already understood who Professor Emmanuel was. Today, by the grace of God, my colleague is born again.

KEY POINT
Approach a new convert from the area of his interest, and then the Holy Spirit will do the rest.

HYMN 16 – BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD
1. Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

2. Breathe on me, Breath of God:
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

3. Breathe on me, Breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

4. Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 APRIL 2024 MESSAGE

Today’s Christian, you are to cast out demons and perform all kinds of miracles. The question now is, are you a believer? If the answer is yes, then you too can perform miracles as Jesus did. You may then ask, “Why have I not been able to perform any miracle thus far?”

In Mark 3:13-15, Jesus’ disciples were told what to do. They were to keep Him company, preach, heal sicknesses, and cast out demons. The reason most Christians have not been working miracles is that they have not been following this order.

How much time do you spend fellowshipping with God? This is the first step in working miracles. You must spend quality time studying your Bible and praying daily.

The more time you spend in His company, the more His power will rest on you.

You are also required to preach the gospel. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus said,
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

Many believers don’t evangelize. God will not give you the power to work miracles just so you can show off, He will only do so if you will use it to win souls for Him. If you get these first two steps right, the power to work miracles will follow duly.

Many people feel it is not compulsory for them to have the power of God. If I feel it is not compulsory to heal, then I won’t pay the sacrifice that will make healing easy. If I am not concerned when somebody dies, I won’t pray much before I ask the family members to arrange for the burial of the fellow.

If you truly understand that God is expecting you to be the channel through which He will heal the sick and raise the dead, that it is a must that you cast out demons and that some demons won’t leave except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21), your attitude to food and pleasure should change.

If you are His disciple, according to Mark 3:13-15, you are expected to heal the sick. Every now and then, God will send you to raise the dead, cast out demons, and cleanse people with incurable diseases (Matthew 10:7-8).

If you are His disciple, it is compulsory that you pay the price and receive the power to work miracles.

MESSAGE
Many years ago, I trained a team of youths to evangelise effectively. One of the things I taught them was that when they met anyone who wouldn’t listen to them, they should ask if the fellow had any issue that they could pray with him or her about. One day, they met a herbalist who proved quite difficult, so they asked him, “Baba, we know you are very powerful, but is there anything that you haven’t been able to solve? We would like to pray with you about it.” He told them that his pregnant wife was bleeding and close to death, so my children prayed a simple prayer and left. They had only walked a short distance away when they heard someone calling out. They looked back and saw that it was the herbalist. He testified that his wife had stopped bleeding, and he readily accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.
This shows the importance of prayer before and during evangelism. When going to preach, prayer can help draw the attention of that perceived difficult fellow.
Therefore, my child, the next time you want to preach anywhere, pray first.

KEY POINT
Before going out to evangelise, always commit the unbelievers you will meet to God so that He can make their hearts receptive to the gospel.

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.

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.

¹³ He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

¹⁴ And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

¹⁵ And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

¹⁶ And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

¹⁷ And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

¹⁸ And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

¹⁹ And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

²⁰ And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

²¹ And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

²² So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

²³ And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

²⁴ And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

There are many people who have received an impartation of God’s anointing; however, miracles are yet to happen through them.

When a fellow receives the anointing, it remains dormant in him or her until it is stirred up.

When Elisha got Elijah’s mantle, it remained an ordinary cloth until he used it to strike the river and asked the river to part.

I once attended a Kenneth Hagin meeting in Tulsa, USA, and saw a raw demonstration of the power of God.

I made up my mind to see him, and by God’s grace, I was able to.

He asked me, “Young man, what do you want?” I replied, “Sir, I want everything in you that has made you who you are.”

After attending to everyone else in his office, he turned to me and said, “Young man, kneel down.” I knelt and saw his two big hands coming towards my head – that was the last thing I remembered.

By the time I came around, I was on the floor, and he was kneeling by me with his hands on my head while praying furiously in tongues.

When we returned to Nigeria, I begged Papa, the General Superintendent of RCCG, to let me line people up and pray for them.

In those days, we didn’t pray for anybody, everyone prayed by themselves.

Papa allowed me, and so, during the evening service on that Sunday, we lined people up.

Some people who had been in Tulsa with me saw that people fell when Kenneth Hagin laid hands on them, so, they came to stand behind the people that were lined up to catch them if they fell.

I laid hands on the first fellow, but he didn’t fall.

I wasn’t discouraged because I knew that people falling is not necessarily an indication that miracles have happened.

However, by the time I got to the seventh fellow, someone fell under the anointing.

After that, a couple of others also fell. I stirred up the gift that I had received and then saw it work mightily.

If hands have been laid on you, or you have been anointed by a man of God, it is not time to relax.

The impartation will remain dormant if you don’t use it. Look for opportunities to pray for people and stir up the gift.

The first fellow you pray for may not be healed immediately, however, keep stirring the gift, and soon, you will see it work mightily.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2024 REFLECTION

You should thirst for the anointing, and if you have already received an impartation, God is waiting for you to stir it up.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2024 HYMN

RCCG HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

¹ Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

² Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

³ Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

⁴ Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.

⁵ Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.

⁶ Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.
