¹⁰ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

¹¹ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

¹² And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

¹³ Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jesus said clearly in Matthew 7:21 that not all who call Him ‘Lord’ will enter into the Kingdom of God.

This God in Church will go to heaven.

Anyone who is a child of God is regarded as an Israelite, but then the above passage says that though there will be many who will become born again, only a remnant amongst them will be saved on the last day.

Not every Prophet, Pastor or evangelist will make it to heaven.

Don’t think that every man who says he is a man of God will make it to heaven.

Thus, when you hear of certain men of God doing some ungodly things, don’t let it surprise you; some of them are not on the narrow path to heaven at all.

There are two categories of Salvation.

There is instant salvation, the kind that happens when people answer the altar call (Romans 10:13) and then there is the ultimate salvation, which happens when you endure to the end as seen in Matthew 10:22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

The fact that you are standing now is great, but you must stand until the end to be saved.

Some people teach that once you are saved, you are saved forever; that you can be saved and then live like a child of the devil and you would still make it to heaven.

That is the devil’s lie.

You must guard your salvation jealously as shown in Philippians 2:12

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

The devil will do everything within his power to take you back to himself.

Don’t think that because you have done many great things for God, you now have a sure ticket to heaven.

You must remain standing until the end if you would make it to heaven.

Occasionally, particularly when I find myself amongst top academicians and theologians, they like to tell me that you can believe whatever is in the New Testament, but the Old Testament should not be believed.

This is because anytime they find something in the Old Testament that is not convenient for them, they want to brush it aside.

Malachi 3:10 for example that talks about tithing is ignored by such people. They ignore Proverbs 3:9-10 too.

Then I ask them, what about Isaiah 54:17 which says no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper?

What about “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want” in Psalm 23:1?

What about Deuteronomy 28:13 that says you shall be head and not the tail, you shall be above only and not beneath?

I encourage you to know that every Scripture is written by the Holy Spirit and every bit of it must be embraced.

Aside from Scripture, there are people who do something and say “God will understand”.

The Bible does not say anywhere that God understands sin, but rather that He hates it.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Psalm 5:4

If you call yourself a Christian, you have to stay away from sin. 2 Timothy 2:19 says

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

If you are lukewarm, God pushes you out of Himself forcefully and if you are away from God, then you are with the devil.

He says in Revelation 3:16
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

Don’t be lukewarm. If you jettison holiness during tough times then you are not really a child of God.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 DECEMBER 2023 BIBLE READING GENESIS 41:1-7

[1]And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

[2]And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

[3]And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

[4]And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

[5]And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

[6]And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

[7]And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 DECEMBER 2023 MESSAGE

There are different theories that prove that what you think of before going to bed forms your dreams.

Some are of the opinion that our activities during the day oftentimes interfere with our dreams. Regardless of these, God still speaks to His children through dreams.

There are different purposes for which God gives dreams, such as to inform His children of what is about to happen.

God revealed Joseph’s future to him in dreams, and his brothers hated him so much that they sold him into slavery at a very young age.

Despite all that they did, Joseph’s dreams still became a reality.

Another reason God reveals things to His children through dreams is for them to intervene/intercede and change the course of events.

For instance, in today’s Bible passage, the king needed to take action to avoid the impending famine, and he did through the help of Joseph.

Never joke with your dreams. If you don’t understand them, ask God for interpretation or tell it to a mature and spiritual person who can interpret them for you so you can pray or act accordingly.

OPEN HEAVEN 10 DECEMBER 2023 MESSAGE

Isaiah 6:1-3 tells us that the Almighty God, even though He is all-powerful, loving and glorious, wants to be known for one thing above all others and that is that He is holy.

He is a holy God and that makes it impossible for Him to lie.

Numbers 23:19 says God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent.

Psalm 119:89 says His word is forever settled – in other words, you can rely on His word.

Psalm 33:8-9 says once He speaks, it is done.

Why must we believe in Jesus Christ? John 14:6 says He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

If you believe in God the Father and God the Son, it automatically follows that you will believe in God the Holy Spirit.

This is because John 15:26 says the Holy Spirit proceeds from God the Father.

2 Peter 1:20-21 says the Bible is written by the hands of men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. In other words, your Bible was written by the Holy Spirit, using the hands of men.

Since 1 John 4:6 says the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, then it follows that everything you find in Scripture is the fruth.

Unless you believe the entire Scripture, you are not even saved.

John 1:11-12 says:
¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

If you are truly saved and you believe the entire Scripture, then you can go ahead and claim your healing because it is written in 1 Peter 2:24 that by His stripes we were healed – past tense.

All that God is waiting for you to manifest divine health is simply your willingness to obey every word of His. You can also claim your deliverance if only you would believe.

John 8:32 and 36 says you shall know the truth, the truth shall make you free and whosoever the Son sets free shall be free indeed.

There are lots of blessings available to the believer. All you have to do is believe in God, believe in His word, and everything He has promised in the Bible will be yours.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 DECEMBER 2023 MESSAGE

There are some people who go beyond worrying about the basic things of life, to fearing the unknown.

They worry about if all they have disappears because Proverbs 23:5 says riches can develop wings and fly away.

The Almighty God says “Don’t worry at all” because He is the All-Sufficient God (Genesis 17:1).

The One who gave you what you have now has much more in store for you. Philippians 4:19 says you should not worry because He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.

Do you know how rich He is in glory? Isaiah 6:3 says the whole earth is full of His glory.

He is extremely rich in glory and since He has promised to supply your needs according to His riches in glory, then you know that supply will never run dry.

Proverbs 10:22 says:
“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”

If your riches are from God, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about; otherwise, understand that money gotten in sin comes with plenty of sorrows.

You can be very rich and have many servants, but if they know you are very old, you can call them and they won’t answer.

In fact, the Bible calls old age evil days (Ecclesiastes 12:1-3). Some people, even though they are surrounded by friends, grandchildren, servants and everything they need, still worry.

They worry about what is going to happen when they die.

They worry about where they will spend eternity.

In Psalm 37:25, David said,
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

The same David told us in Psalm 34:10,
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.”

He concluded Psalm 23 by saying that there is only one thing for you to look forward to if you are on the side of the Lord and that is goodness and mercy all the days of your life (verses 5 and 6).

As long as you are on the side of the Lord, put your mind at rest, God is working overtime taking care of you.

In our memory verse for today, the words “Let not your heart be troubled” simply mean “Don’t worry”.

Whenever the Bible says “Don’t worry” it means there is something that could cause a person some anxiety.

Whenever you hear God say “Fear not” it means there is something frightening around.

The Bible says in Matthew 6:31 that you should not worry because that is what the heathens do.

If you really have faith in God, if you really believe He loves you, then you should not worry about anything.

The God that feeds the birds in the air is capable of feeding you too.

The God that clothes the lilies in the field so beautifully will clothe you too.

If you are sure that He is your Father indeed, then you have no reason to worry.

The son of a billionaire is never worried about what to eat or what to wear.

Your Father is not just a billionaire- all the gold and silver in the world is His (Haggai 2:8).

He promised in John 14:14 that if you ask for anything in His name, He will give it to you; anything means ANYTHING.

While He has promised to give us whatever we ask of Him, we must however, not be lazy. I have discovered that many Christians are lazy.

There are jobs I have given to Christians to do and they charge much higher than the normal fee, yet didn’t deliver on time and did the work shabbily.

A similar job given to an unbeliever would not only cost less but would be thoroughly done and delivered within the agreed timeframe.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 says God does not support laziness and anyone who is lazy should not eat.

Anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian and is lazy is not a child of God, and so the Lord is not under any obligation to provide for him or her.

There are many people who sit around all day saying they haven’t found a job, that is why they are not working.

What a lazy attitude!

Get up and find something productive to do with your time.

Look within you; there must be one skill you have that you can use to meet other people’s needs.

If you remain focus and continue to improve yourself, you will definitely begin to have some income from it sooner or later.

Years ago, there was a man who didn’t find a job so he started frying akara (bean cakes) by the road and within months, had bought two motorcycles and was earning income from them.

God has promised to bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy 28:12), but you must first show Him the work.

Whether you realise it or not, people are watching you and tagging you with an identity. The tag they give you is dependent on their observation about what you do regularly.

If the people around you are to be honest with you, there is something in particular that they know you for and you need to know what it is because that thing is likely a reflection of who you are.

You may not like what they call you, but if everyone agrees that a tag or identity fits you, rather than fight them for tagging you that way, you can just take it as feedback and change your character.

It could be offensive when you can remember your positive attributes but people seem to only pick out your negative attribute and tag you with it.

Don’t be offended; God is only using them to sharpen you and make you a better person.

Rather than complain, saying, “Can’t you see all my positive behaviours?” take the feedback and use it to improve yourself.

Don’t mind the fact that they are not commenting on the things you thought were good about yourself; you just take whatever negative thing they say and turn it to positive so that you can be better person.

Now, since people will most likely notice the negative traits of a person before the positives, if you want to be known for the latter, you have to do it so much that it will be impossible for them not to notice it.

Improve on your strengths.

I have always wanted to be known as the man constantly winning souls for God, so I do that at every opportunity and today, people know that if you give Pastor Adeboye the microphone just to greet the people, he is likely to tell them to give their lives to Christ.

There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]

OPEN HEAVEN 6 DECEMBER 2023 MESSAGE

There is one thing that many people take for granted and that is the power of taking notes.

I see many people who do not take notes while sermons and i wonder if they know what they are missing.

There is a popular saying that the faintest pen is smarter than the sharpest brain. You miss a lot when you don’t take notes.

My professor of Mathematics who got his PhD in the year 1928, told us that you have to read something ten times to remember it all.

If you did not take notes, how will you read it over again in order to remember?

Some messages are not very easy to swallow at the time you are hearing them, but one day, the Holy Spirit may take you back to that note and then open it up to you on a deeper level.

It is a matter of even more concern when ministers of the gospel who expect the congregation to be taking notes when they are preaching don’t take notes when other ministers are preaching.

If you don’t have an actual notebook with you, at least you can use a note taking app on your smart phone or tablet.

When a sermon is going on, the Holy Spirit is likely to whisper some things into your ears; they could be prophecies or instructions.

You need to write those things down so that you don’t forget.

Also, as the preacher is speaking, to help you practice what is being preached, you may need to write down one or two actions you will take in line with the sermon.

You need to also write down aspects of the sermon or passages of the Bible that you would like to conduct deeper study on.

You must understand that these notes are treasures from which you and others coming after you can gain from.

At the Open Heavens International Centre, there are some of my old sermon notes from over 30 years ago; they are treasures for many who visit the gallery to draw lessons from.

In Revelation 1:19, God told John to write the things he was seeing down as a treasure for us today to know what is to come in the end time.

We also saw similar instances from our memory verse and Bible reading today.

Beloved, you should take notes whenever you are listening to or studying the Word of God.
