OPEN HEAVEN 10 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

In our Bible reading for today, you will see God’s mind about follow-up; you will see He doesn’t take follow-up lightly at all.

He said pastors, and this includes anyone God has put in charge of others, should feed the sheep.

When they fail to do so, they are invariably scattering the sheep, and there are woes in store for such persons.

He said in verses 7 and 8 that He doesn’t just want to be known as the God who brought His children out of Egypt (the bondage of the enemy) but as the Lord who brought His children out of bondage and brought them to their own land (Zion or Heaven).

God is never satisfied with you just preaching to sinners. Beyond encouraging them to confess their sins and give their lives to Christ, He is more interested in you following them up until they see Him in glory.

Learn from the apostles of old; after Paul had won souls in a place, he would stay with them for a while to ensure that they become grounded in the faith (Acts 18:11, Acts 19:10, Acts 28:29-32).

Even after he left, he would keep sending them letters to strengthen them even more.

Those are the origins of the letters that we read in the Scriptures today and which strengthen us to date.

He also often made out time to visit them so that they may be further established (Romans 1:11).

In Acts 15:36, the Bible says:
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.

Relating this to modern times, after you have won a soul, get their contact details so that you can keep calling them and sending text messages to strengthen them.

You must also visit them to see how they are faring. Visit the local assembly they attend to see if they have joined the workforce there and if they are fervently serving God

Give them the opportunity to ask you questions about their walk with God.

New converts always have lots of questions to ask; be there to answer their questions and explain the Scriptures to them.

Don’t leave them to become prey to the devil; follow them up so well until they are fully established in Christ.

From vict’ry unto vict’ry
  His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished

  Stand in His strength alone;

Put on the Gospel armor,
  And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
  Be never wanting there.

⁴ Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
  The strife will not be long:
This day the noise of battle,

To him that overcometh
  A crown of life shall be;

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

If you want the results of a particular man, copy that man.

When Elijah left the earth and dropped his mantle, Elisha took it, rolled it together as his father did, went to River Jordan as his father did, smote the river as his father did, and called on the God of his father to answer him like He answered his father – and God answered!

Apostle Paul said,
“Follow me as I follow Christ”
(1 Corinthians 11:1).

The secrets of people’s successes lie in the things they do daily. If you can find those things and do them, you will also produce similar results.

Romans 2:11 says:
For there is no respect of persons with God Our God is not partial; the success He gave to that fellow you admire, He can give to you too if you will do the needful.

Genesis 4:6-7 says:
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

God was essentially telling Cain that if he had done what Abel did, he would have gotten the same result he got.

How many books about successful people have you read? How many of them have you watched documentaries about? How many autobiographies have you studied?

These are the ways to know what these people did that got them the results they got.

In a book, you can learn within one hour things that took a man 70 years to learn.

Once you have learnt them, you just have to put them to use and you will get the same results; there’s no need for trial and error.

This is one of the beauties of the Scriptures and I believe it is the reason the stories of great prophets of the past were recorded for us to read.

James 5:10 says:
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

You are to take the men of God that have gone before as examples to follow, just as Paul stated in the memory verse for today.

You should however note that Jesus Christ is the ultimate model to be transformed and conformed unto.

Yes, the children of God are encouraged to learn from those that have gone ahead, but such emulation must be in line with God’s will and directives.

Open Heaven 8 February 2024

OPEN HEAVEN 9 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

If God is ever going to use you to bring a harvest of souls into His kingdom, then you must be hardworking.

This is because harvesting requires way more labour than sowing.

Farmers will tell you that sowing is hard work; if you are going to sow on a large farm, you are going to work hard.

However, reaping involves more hard work. This is because there is a time limit for harvesting. If you don’t harvest within the time limit, the fruits will rot.

The harvest of souls that God has prepared in this end-time revival is great and we have limited time.

I pray that God will give you the grace to bring in the harvest, in Jesus’ name.

When Peter cast his net into the sea in Luke 5:1-10, he did it alone without help, but when the harvest came, he realised that he needed more effort to bring it in.

Proverbs 12:27 says that the slothful man will not roast the meat he caught while hunting.

Do you know what that means? It takes hard work to hunt and harder work to prepare what was caught so it will not rot.

God is not going to waste His anointing on a man who will win souls and not follow them up.

Soul winning is an easier job than following up new converts till they mature in Christ.

This is why some people prefer the work of the evangelist to that of a pastor.

The evangelist gets on a podium, preaches the gospel of salvation, makes an altar call, and leaves thereafter, leaving the pastor to do the hard work of training the new converts, setting them in systems that will help them grow spiritually, answering all their questions, and teaching them regularly until they can stand on their feet.

In a time of revival, you must not only be ready to do the work of an evangelist but that of a pastor as well.

John 15:16 says that you must win souls and ensure that they abide, implying that they never return to the devil.

As painful as it is, giving birth is still easier than taking care of a baby until adulthood.

Parents will tell you that the work of a mother over her children never ends.

Are you ready to nurture new converts till they make it to heaven?

If your answer is yes, then God will really find you useful for His work.

Put more effort into the follow-up of souls till they are mature and are on the sure path to heaven.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

In the Bible reading for today, the various kinds of vessels that can be found in the house of a great man were identified.

It says that you will find some vessels unto honour and some unto dishonour.

This may make you wonder, why does the great man keep vessels unto dishonour in his house, why doesn’t he just throw them away?

This is the same question that many ask when they consider the body of Christ today.

They say, “Why does God not kill all fake pastors?

Why does He not expose all those who are using His name to amass wealth and fame for themselves?”

The answer to that is in Matthew 13:24-30. Verses 29 and 30 in particular say:
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Our God does not act rashly; everything He does is for a reason. There are some fake pastors that some genuine Christians believe to be real.

If God destroys such pastors, it could affect the faith of those who are following them.

As such, the tares would have been gathered but the wheat would have unfortunately been rooted up with them.

Don’t worry about the mixed multitude in the church, God is coming to separate the wheat from the tares and when He does, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If you claim to be a Christian, yet you are bringing dishonour to the Lord, you better change now.

If such a person refuses to change, that is not a problem. The fire that will consume him or her is getting hotter every day.

Such a person can keep enjoying the benefits of being called a Christian for now, however, God is coming with the reward for such deceivers, and on that day, He will take no apologies.

Beloved, if you are one of such deceivers, it is in your best interest to genuinely repent now, forsake your sinful ways, and truly surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

It is the only way to escape the judgment that is coming for all those that are vessels unto dishonour.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE

Revival is here and only those who are prepared will be a part of it.

God is doing a new thing and He wants to use willing vessels, not just pastors and men of God, but also ordinary people that are filled with the Holy Ghost.

If you have not yet been baptized in the Holy Ghost, you better ask Him for the baptism.

A big revival is here, and He doesn’t want to use the pastors alone; he wants to use all His willing and available children.

The question, however, is, are you fit for the Master’s use?

There are two major things you need to be fit for the Master’s use in this revival.

They are stated in 2 Timothy 2:21:
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

The first thing you must do is purge yourself of any iniquity – you must be sanctified. Sanctification comes through constant study and dependence on the word of God (John 17:17).

Secondly, you must be prepared to work. God cannot use you if you are lazy, He only uses people that are prepared to work hard.

Proverbs 18:9 says:
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

God describes the lazy man as being just the same as a waster. God won’t waste His anointing on you if you are lazy.

When He gives you the anointing, it is not the time to relax but the time to work even harder.

Beloved, it takes hard work to become a champion, but it takes even harder work to remain one.

When you are struggling to become a champion, you stretch yourself and train vigorously.

Once you become one, you will suddenly realise that from that moment, everybody starts coming after your crown to take it from you.

Clearly, it is better not to have become a champion than to be an ex-champion while still at one’s prime.

The pain of the ex-champion is not the bruises on his body, it is the shame of walking in the streets and seeing those that had been hailing him as a champion suddenly turn their faces away from him.

Studies have shown that laughter releases chemicals into the brain and creates feelings of happiness that help a person stay on top of his or her goals.

Laughter is a beautiful thing that helps us remain cheerful no matter the situation we find ourselves in.

It comes naturally when something good happens or bubbles up in us.

You may not believe it when I say that one of the reasons I look agile and younger than my age is the consistency of my joy and laughter.

When my children were still living with me and my wife, we gathered every evening to watch movies, tell stories, and share experiences that made us laugh.

Even when I call them on the phone today to reminisce, my children are always amazed at my humorous wits.

In the Bible reading for today, Peter confronted the Sadducees defending his faith and in the name of Jesus Christ.

However, was Peter this bold before he was baptised in the Holy Spirit? The simple answer is, “No”.

In Matthew 14:28-32, Peter was described as being ‘afraid’ after he saw the boisterousness of the wind.

In John 18:16-27, when servants recognised him as one of Jesus’ followers, he denied it and swore that he did not know Jesus.

This same Peter was now the one confronting Sadducees.

In Acts 4:10, the one who denied Jesus Christ said,
“The same Jesus you crucified, God has raised Him from the dead, and it is through Him that this lame man is standing before you whole.”

He added that there is no other name given unto men by which anybody can be saved but by Jesus – he was now standing solidly behind Jesus Christ.

The Peter after Pentecost was different from the Peter before Pentecost.

He was now bold and could speak about Jesus Christ to anyone regardless of their status in the society.

Acts 4:13 says that the boldness of Peter and John was beheld by the people around them.

In other words, their boldness became very obvious.

What was responsible for this kind of boldness?

The answer to this question can be found in Acts 4:8:
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel…

Being filled with the Holy Ghost is the antidote for fear.

If fear has been holding you back from fulfilling your destiny, it is because you are not yet filled with the Holy Ghost.

When you become filled with the Holy Ghost, you will look at the biggest obstacle in front of you and smile because you know that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (I John 4:4).

Whenever fear tries to creep into your heart, start speaking in the Holy Ghost.

Speak in tongues to the point where you ascend above the level of that fear.

The Holy Spirit gives you the boldness to surmount any obstacle that may be standing in your path, no matter how big it may appear.

Pray in the Holy Ghost every day, study your Bible, and have the Holy Ghost lead you.

Make the Holy Ghost your companion at all times, and fear will become a stranger to you

OPEN HEAVEN 5 FEBRUARY 2024 HYMN

RCCG HYMN 20: STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS

¹ Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
  Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
  It must not suffer loss:
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
  His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished
  And Christ is Lord indeed.

² Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
  The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
  In this His glorious day.
Ye that are men, now serve Him
  Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger.
  And strength to strength oppose.

³ Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
  Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
  Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor,
  And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
  Be never wanting there.

⁴ Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
  The strife will not be long:
This day the noise of battle,
  The next the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh
  A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
  Shall reign eternally.
