OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS 4 MARCH 2019 – SEASONED WITH SALT
MEMORISE: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:29
Please read: Colossians 4:6
MESSAGE:
Your words define you, Jesus Christ said it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him (Matthew 15:1-11).
In other words, the words you speak is a pointer to the kind of heart you have. If you use abusive words, check your heart. If you are always talking about dirty things, check, fornication may have its hands around you. Don’t claim that you only say it but don’t do it.
That is a lie of the devil to deceive you. He will first make a fellow comfortable around where it is being said, then the fellow will start saying it and because it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks, before long, the heart falls and then the body follows. Read – Open Heaven 4 March 2019
Your words must carry life in them and since John 14:6 says Jesus is the life, and John 1:1 says He is the Word of God, then you should know that you must always speak the Word of God. One way to know a good Christian is if you hear the word of God in their every conversation. If you study your Bible often, your words will carry the very life of Jesus; they will be seasoned with salt.
REFLECTION:
When people have discussions with you, do they hear the Word of God as you speak?

OPEN HEAVEN 4 MARCH 2019 MEMORISE:
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
OPEN HEAVEN 4 MARCH 2019 READ: Genesis 22:7-14
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
It is amazing that in spite of the exuberant declaration of faith in today’s memory verse, some children of God still look up to financiers, godfather and other human providers to meet their needs.
We must take note that what this verse says and learn an eternal truth from it. In it, the Holy Spirit lumped all our life requirements into singular form and simply called it “need”, because they are not a big deal for our God to handle.
Failure to understand this truth can cause a child of God to fall for the devil’s trick of supposedly turning stone into bread. He tried to deceive Jesus with this tactic in the wilderness of temptation, but thank God he failed (Luke 4:3-4). Click Here To Read – Open Heavens 3 March 2019
What does it mean to turn stone into bread? It means obtaining satisfaction through satisfaction through illegitimate means or outside God’s plan of provision for you.
Today’s Bible reading narrates Father Abraham’s encounter with the Almighty Jehovah-Jireh on one of the mountains in the land of Morah. Abraham had been instructed to go to the land of Morah to sacrifice his only son of promise there.
In the course of their journey, Isaac, already accustomed to the rites of sacrifice, noticed that something vital was missing. In Genesis 22:7c, he asked his father:
“Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
This serves as a great lesson to all parents. Do your children know what it takes to serve your God? What have you taught them about Christian service in tithing and other areas of giving? Click Here To Read – Prayer Points For Today’s Open Heavens 3 March 2019
What about the requirement of peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)? In response to Isaac’s question, Abraham demonstrated his faith in God’s ability to meet his needs, saying in Genesis 22:8:
“My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering”
Beloved, it is time for you to re-examine your walk with God to see if you possess enough trust in the One who is able to meet all your needs without you compromising your faith. Do you need a job urgently? God knew this even before you were born.
Do you need a promotion to take you over and above the tyrant boss who is hindering you from serving your God as expected? Jehovah-Jireh will do without you being a sycophant or sleeping around with the personnel manager.
Are you in serious debt and your income is not able to pay it off? Trust in Jehovah-Jireh and don’t attempt to use His tithes to pay your debt. The one who paid your debt of sin is also able to pay your debt of money (Romans 8:32).
I say to you in the words of Apostle Paul, “my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” do you believe this? Blessed are you if you do.
OPEN HEAVEN 4 MARCH 2019 PRAYER POINT: Father, help my unbelief and meet me at the point of my need today in Jesus’ Name.
OPEN HEAVEN 4 MARCH 2019 HYMN 8: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
OPEN HEAVEN 4 MARCH 2019 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 23-24 and Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Acts 23 King James Version (KJV)
23 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Acts 24 King James Version (KJV)
24 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 New International Version (NIV)
The Suffering and Glory of the Servant
13 See, my servant will act wisely[a];
he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him[b]—
his appearance was so disfiguredbeyond that of any human being
and his form marred beyond human likeness—
15 so he will sprinkle many nations,[c]
and kings will shut their mouthsbecause of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
and what they have not heard, they will understand.
53 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of theLord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peacewas on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[d] and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.[e]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes[f] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosperin his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[g] and be satisfied[h];
by his knowledge[i] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[j]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[k]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
1.I worship You, Lord Jesus, for humbly submitting to the Authority of the Father, by leaving Your glory in heaven to take the form of man.
2.Thank You, Father, for bringing me out of the darkness of this world into Your marvelous light, in Christ Jesus, to show forth Your glory.
3.Father, in anyway I have fallen short of your glory, please, have mercy and forgive me, in Jesus’ name.
4.Father, as I journey through this wilderness of life, let Jesus remain my focus and standard, not man or pastor, in Jesus’ name.
5.Father, touch me with Your divine hand of healing. Resch the sick all over the world today, in Jesus’ name. Read – Open Heavens 3 March 2019
6.Father, as a good soldier of Christ, give me the grace to endure hardship, trials and challenges of life, and strengthen me never to faint or become weary, in Jesus’ name.
7.Lord Jesus, make me an agent of healing, in Jesus’ name.
8.Father, please, help me to live through today, without committing a single sin, in Jesus’ name.
9.I declare that I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me; amen, in Jesus’ name.
10.Father, lift up the head of Your son, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, above those of his enemies, round about him, in Jesus’ name.
11.Father, bless Your son, that You have been using to prepare these prayer points, beyond measures, and all those who have been rebroadcasting them, in Jesus’ name!
12.Father, let every challenge, hindrance and obstacle of getting these prayer points across to Your children, timely, and on daily basis be removed, in Jesus’ name.
13.Your Personal petitions.
( Philippians 4:6)
14.In Jesus’ name I pray.
(John 14:13-14; 15:16)
15.Thank you Father for answered prayers.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18).

MEMORY VERSE: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law”. Psalms 119:18
BIBLE PASSAGE: 2Kings 6:13-17
2 Kings:6.13
So he said, “Go and see where he [is,] that I may send and get him.” And it was told him, saying, “Surely [he is] in Dothan.”
2 Kings:6.14
Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
2 Kings:6.15
And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
2 Kings:6.16
So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who [are] with us [are] more than those who [are] with them.”
2 Kings:6.17
And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
INTRODUCTION:
A man is incomplete without his eyesight. He finds it difficult to dominate or fulfill purpose(s). Gen 1:28. The eye is a very important part of the body because it is the body’s camera. In addition to vision, the eye also provides depth perception and contributes to the man’s balance. — Matt. 6:22.
LESSON OUTLINES
1. Types and usefulness of the eyes
2. Dangers of not having complete eyesight
TYPE AND USEFULNESS OF THE EYES
The eyes can be categorised into three. The first is the physical eyes attached to the body. Anyone without the physical eyes is seriously handicapped because the eye is the light of the body (Luke 11:36; John 9:1).
The second is the eye of the soul, also known as ‘the eyes of understanding’ (Ephesians 1:18). These eyes are so vital that they could make the difference between salvation and perdition.
When the Gospel is preached, many people find it difficult to understand how the death of ‘someone’ over 2000 years ago could secure eternity in Heaven for them. To believe that salvation is not by works but free is because your eyes of understanding is enlightened. Read – Open Heavens 3 March 2019
The third category is the spiritual eye which enables you to see into the realm of the spirit. It makes you see what no ordinary eye can see (2Kings 2:11-12). Those who see into the realm of the spirit receive impartation and get what they desire.
Usually, the physical eye sees problems, while the spiritual eye sees the solution (2Kings 6:15-17, John 11:22-23). If you are always seeing in the physical but never see in the spiritual, you will be far from solutions (Job 2:9). Those whose spiritual eyes are opened always see solutions right within the problem (Job 19:25).
In 2Kings 2:11, Elisha would not have received the double portion of anointing from Elijah if his spiritual eyes were not opened. Any believer who is spiritually blind will not be able to see into the realm of the spirit and have a glimpse of Heaven (Isaiah 6:1-6, Luke 9:32-33).
DANGERS OF NOT HAVING COMPLETE EYESIGHT
It is dangerous to be without physical sight like the man in John 9:1-7. The blind cannot enjoy the beauty of nature. Walking is seriously hampered and collision is inevitable. Many times blind people remain on the same spot (Mark 10:46, John 9:8).
They may be hindered from fulfilling the purpose for which they were born. When the gospel is preached, those whose eyes of understanding are darkened will find it difficult to believe that Jesus is God and through Him they can find everlasting life (Acts 28:26-28, Ephesians 1:18). Their end is death.
CONCLUSION
Without a complete eyesight, you cannot have total vision. The race of such a Christian will be tedious and unexciting. If your spiritual eyes are always open, not only will your problems be solved, you will become an answer to the problem of others.
QUESTIONS
1. Mention the types and usefulness of the eyes.
2. What are the dangers of incomplete eyesight?
RCCG MARCH 2019 SPECIAL HOLY GHOST SERVICE – SWIMMING IN GLORY – PART 3

MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 60:1-3
DATE: 28TH FEBRUARY, 2019
Thank You Father! Let me hear somebody shout a really big Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
… Let us pray!
SONG:
There is none Holy as the Lord (as the Lord)
There is none beside Thee (beside Thee)
Neither is there any Rock like our God
There is none Holy as the Lord (repeated)
OPENING PRAYER:
The Holy One of Israel we worship You; the only One who can do what no man can do, we bow before You. The Unchangeable Changer; may Your Name be Glorified. Accept our Worship please, in Jesus’ Name.
We thank You for all the Messages we have heard tonight. Thank You for speaking to us so Mightily through Your children. Please accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.
Father am asking that You would bless these Your children; You would refill them; You would pour fresh Oil on them; You would move them from Glory to Glory.
Now, as for those of us who have come tonight, I pray that You give each and everyone of an an ADVANCED Miracle. I Pray that even before we gather tomorrow (Friday 1st March, 2019); each and every one of us will have a Brand New Testimony.
Thank You Almighty God because we know that tomorrow will be alright. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed. Amen!
….Let someone shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
How about shaking hands with two (2) or three (3) people; say: Your Excellency, “God bless you”.
And then you may please be seated.
I want to thank the Almighty God for ALL those who have ministered tonight; they all did excellently well. The various Choirs are good! The Preachers, wonderful! Everyone of them; they did very well.
… Daddy took time to go through major points raised by each of the four (4) Preachers.
Why don’t you give the Lord a Mighty, Mighty round of applause for these wonderful children. This is why I look forward to a time when these young men – the Youths and Young Adults will be preaching. Because it’s going to be like Bible School within a day. They give you so much to bite; so .such to digest; so much to meditate upon.
Please join me one more time to give the Lord a big round of applause for these wonderful children.
Thank you! Your turn will come. I say your turn will come. You will be the next one to preach from this Altar, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Normally, my assignment on the Eve (of the Special Holy Ghost Service) is always to come, go over what these people have said, and then pray.
But a couple of weeks ago, in one of our Youth Churches, I shared some words with my Young Ones. And since it was Sunday Morning, you were all in your Churches. It’s most likely that even though Dove Media carried it, you missed the Message (the Message was documented by the Discovery Media Crew).
And as I was praying concerning tonight; God impressed upon my mind that, that Message should go round. So for the next few minutes (because it was a very short Sermon) I want to share with you from ISAIAH 60:1-3
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
If you are the one God is talking to, let me hear your Amen – Amen!
According to John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.”
Darkness has three (3) principal assignments and Light has three (3) principal assignments.
John 10:10 says the thief (darkness) cometh not but to STEAL, KILL and to DESTROY. These are the three (3) Assignments of darkness
But Jesus Christ said: “I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.”
The assignments of Light is to reverse what the darkness has done. Darkness comes to steal but Light comes to RESTORE.
Mark 5: 25-34; The devil attacked the woman with the issue of blood, stole her health, destroyed her fortunes and wanted to kill her completely.
But the woman came in contact with Jesus Christ and there was Total Restoration.
The devil comes to kill but the Light comes to Resurrect.
In Mark 5:35-43; the devil came to the home of Jairus, killed his only daughter, Jesus came to the same home and brought the girl back to life.
The devil’s job is to destroy while the work of the Light is to RECREATE.
2 Corrithians 5:17 says: “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
At Recreation, old things are passed away and behold old things had become New.
Now, “where do I come in into this?” You may ask.
The One who is the Light of the world has called us The Light.
Matthew 5:14-16 says:
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
… Jesus Christ said ‘you are the Light of the World’.
In case you haven’t told anyone in recent time, why can’t you turn to the fellow on your right and left and say: “I am the Light of the world”.
If He says you are the Light of the world, then it means that the assignment He has given to the Light is also given to you. Because the Light of the world Himself said in John 14:12 that: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
He said that the works that He did you shall do also. Meaning what?
It’s your job, your assignment to Restore. The devil has come to steal, it is your duty to Restore.
Mark 16:17-18 says: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
He made it clear; these signs shall follow them that believe, in my Name they would even lay hands on the sick and they shall be heal.
Acts 9:32-34 says: “And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.”
Peter did exactly that in the life of Aeneas. God has healed him and immediately the man got up from his sick bed.
Your duty is to Restore.
Your duty is to Resurrect. In order words, when you find anyone who is already dead, your duty is to bring them back to life.
In Acts 9: 36-42, the same Peter followed the example of our Lord Jesus Christ by bringing Dorcas back to life. His your duty as Light was to Resurrect.
It is your duty to Recreate.
How can I Recreate?
Very simple, you bring people to the One who can give them Brand New Beginning.
John 15:16 says: “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
He said, you have not chosen me, I have chosen you that you will go and bring forth fruit and that your will abide. Read – Open Heaven 3 March 2019
When you win souls, you are recreating, you are changing a sinners to a Saints. You are bringing out of hell somebody the devil has completely destroyed and bringing them into the kingdom of God.
So you have an assignment as the Light to do the works that the Light did; Restore, Resurrect and Recreate.
If you believe that by the Grace of God, you will begin to do all these things from now on, let me hear you say Amen – Amen!
Then comes the question, when am I to begin doing these things? When is my Light supposed to begin to Shine? Because from the text that we read, ARISE, SHINE Why? Your Light has COME!
When will I begin to heal the sick?
May be I should put the question this way: When are you suppose to be healing the sick?
You can’t even answer – ‘NOW’!
You are not sure – ‘NOW’!
I got a text message after the Sermon from somebody, I don’t know which of my children. He said; daddy, teach us how to heal the sick. I said, it doesn’t need any teaching. It’s a very simple matter. “These Signs shall follow them that believe”.
The first question you should ask yourself is: Do I believe in Jesus?
Let me ask you the question: Do you believe in Jesus?
YES!
Do you believe He is the TRUTH? Do you believe He will never LIE?
… Once you you believed, then you are qualified for stage one.
Then the next thing He ask you to do is to LAY HANDS on the SICK.
And the question now is: If I lay hands on them and they don’t get well, what happens?
Who told you they wouldn’t get well?
The only fellow who can say if you lay hands on the sick they may not recover is the devil because Jesus said: ‘You shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover’.
So, whom are you going to believe now? Is it Jesus or the devil?
JESUS! I can’t hear you – JESUS!
Then somebody asked me once; daddy are you saying that everyone you lay hands on get well? Do they all recovered?
I said no. If I lay hands on one (1) and he doesn’t recover, I go to the other, I lay hands on the second, then I go to the third, I lay hands on the forth.
Then I decided to shared with somebody who was very close to me who was a beginner in laying hands on the sick. I said, you know what, when I was younger, I prayed a prayer, God I saw from the story at the Pool of Bethesda that there were many sick people there, You healed only one (1) person. Please Lord, the only sick people You will send to me are those whom you want to heal.
Childish prayer is it?
The Lord met me at my level of Faith. He brought to me only those He wanted to heal.
The moment I saw any sick fellow coming; I knew this one, God already wants to heal. He just wants to use me as a camouflage.
But latter on as I grew, I changed my prayer, just bring them all – anyone who is sick, bring them. I will lay my hands in Your Mighty Name and I know they will recover.
How many of you believed that from now on when you lay hands in the Name of Jesus they would recover? – MOSES/TITILAYOMI/OLUSOLA
If you believe, let me hear you say Amen loud and clear – Amen!
So, I want to give you an assignment that is probably why God wants me to share this with you. It is that even between today and tomorrow, look for sick people and lay your hands on them and let us see how many Testimonies we would get tomorrow. Because my God is going to surprise you from now.
… If you really believe, your Amen should have been loud – Amen!
But the conclusion of the matter is just like all the boys who spoke before me had said; “you cannot Swim in Glory if you have not made contact with the King of Glory.”
STEP 1: To Swim in Glory is that you must become Associated with the King of Glory Himself.
That is why even tonight in case there is anyone who is yet to be Associated with the King of Glory. If there is anyone who is yet to surrender his or her life to Jesus, you should come forward now. Come quickly, He can save your soul now and did you know what, you can even be laying hands on the sick for them to recover from this moment onward.
So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, no matter how few you are in number, I will wait for you and I will count from one (1) to five (5). You come, you surrender your life to Him and I pray for your Salvation and a New Beginning – a Brand New Beginning will come into your life.
So if you want to give your life to Jesus, you want to be associated with the King of Glory, so that one day you too will begin to Swim in Glory. Come now as I count….
Who told you that God can’t turn you to a Vessel unto Honour?
The Bible says, taste and see, the Lord is good. Come and surrender your life to Him. He can turn you to someone who will even heal the sick, raise the dead; doing the Works that He did.
So if you are coming, you have to hurry up so that I can pray for you.
This is just the EVE of the Special Holy Ghost Service and we want the people to be able to leave on time. Come quickly, Thank You Father!
Now, those of you who have come, talk to Almighty God and ask Him to save your souls, tell Him to wash away your sins, promise Him that from now on, you will be serving Him, tell Him to be your Lord and Saviour. Talk to Him and ask for the Salvation of Your soul.
The rest of us, let’s stretch our hands towards these people and pray for them that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls too. That God will recreate them and make them brand New Creatures in Him.
Those of you on the way, hurry up because I want to pray now. The rest of us, in another one (1) minute or two (2) pray that the Saviour who saved your soul will saves their souls also.
Thank You Father, in Jesus Mighty Name we Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER OF SALVATION: Savour we want to say Thank You for Your Words, Thank You for all Your children who have already spoken before us. Thank You for the Messages of tonight, please accept our thanks in Jesus’ Name.
As for these people who have come to surrender their lives unto You, I pray Lord Almighty that You will receive them, You will forgive them their sins, You will wash away their sins and You will saves their souls.
Father, am praying that beginning from today, You will write their names in the book of life. You will receive them into the family of God and from this moment onward, anytime they call on You, You will please answer them by fire.
In Jesus Mighty Name we prayed – Amen!
Those of you who have come forward, I want to rejoice with you and I want to promise you that from now on, I will be praying for you. So I would need your names, address and your prayer requests. I promise you, I will be praying for you. So if you turn to your left, you will see a man there with a placard, please follow him, he will take you to where some Pastors are waiting and they will collect your information and bring you back very quickly.
God bless you, you can begin to go now. Let’s give the Lord a big round applause as they go.
If you are clapping for Jesus, clap and if you don’t want to clap, don’t clap at all. You know the Lord told me that proud people don’t know how to Praise Him. When you can’t Praise Him, you can’t clap for Him. It’s a symbol of pride (2x).
Clap for Him (2x). Thank You Father – Amen!
It is only one prayer I want you to pray tonight before I pray for you.
But in the mean time, I want you to stand on your feet, lift your voice to the Almighty God loud and clear and say: Father, beginning from right now, begin To use me for Miracles, Signs and Wonders: Open your mouth and cry unto Him, beginning from right now (2x), begin to use me Lord for Miracles, for Signs, for Wonders, begin to use me for Healing the sick, begin to use me for Raising the dead, begin to use me for Opening the wombs, begin to use me Lord for Miracles, for Signs and Wonders. Begin from this very moment, begin to use me for Miracles, for Signs and for Wonders.
Thank You Father, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER:
So Father, tonight in Your Precious Mighty Name, I decree concerning all these Your children who have come, beginning from now, begin to use them for Your Miracles, for your Signs and for Your Wonders.
Beginning from this very moment, when they lay hands on the sick, let them recover, when they lay hands on the dead, let the dead rise again, when they pray for the barren , let them conceive.
Beginning from this moment, My Father and My God, let them begin to Shine.
And I pray Lord God Almighty that even before tomorrow morning, they would have Testimonies.
Thank You Almighty God; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
If you believe God has answered that prayer, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!!!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
It is outrightly wrong and a sin for anyone that wants to swim in God’s Glory to consciously remove the original source of the work that does not emanate for him or her!
