OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 11:28-29

28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Good Morning Beloved, Happy New Month,

DAILY PERSONAL CONFESSION: The mercy of God is daily at work in me, giving me peace during situations in life. I do not live in Unforgiveness; the truth of Christ has set me free. I am victorious above flesh and desires of darkness. My life is a living tabernacle for God. I am a living testimony in all aspects of life. No loss can encompass my destiny in Jesus’ name, Amen.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

There are basically two people involved in a call – the caller and the called. The basic divine call is what we find in Matthew 11:28-29.

Here, God is the caller and the called are all men. It is a call unto salvation that is universal.

It hinges on John 3:16, a call from the heart of God. Hebrews 9:27 says: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It is however amazing that some people who are considered wise because of their educational attainments prove to be the least wise when it comes to matters relating to God.

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” “Romans 1:28”

A call once went out to the first man Adam, in Genesis 3:9. This was after his fall into sin.

Unfortunately, man mismanaged this opportunity by not accepting responsibility for his sin but rather, decided to blame his wife (Genesis 3:12).

Another opportunity came through Jesus Christ the second Adam and our Redeemer.

Congratulations to you if you have responded to this call that came through Jesus Christ, according to our Bible reading of today.

Having received this call, we are now children of the Most High God.

We are now heirs of God and joint-heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17, 1 John 3:1).

Beloved, having answered the call to salvation, we have some obligations to fulfil. We cannot love the world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15-17).

We must deliberately separate ourselves from the darkness in the world so that the Almighty God, who made the call can receive us (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

If however, you haven’t heeded Gods call for salvation, I enjoin you to do so right away, as tomorrow may be too late.

Seek the Lord when He can be found (Isaiah 55:6) and surrender your life to Jesus Christ today.

I pray that God will see us all through to our ultimate salvation in the Kingdom of Heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Thank God for the salvation of your soul. If however, you are not yet saved, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then call upon Him to save your soul.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 HYMN

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

REFRAIN:
I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly, and abide
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: PROVERBS 4:1-27

SPECIAL NOTE!

Beloved Reader, the best way to enjoy best of God is to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord & Saviour.  And remember! John 3:3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye are born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of God.”

If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Lord Jesus come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.

Beware! This Scripture: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold,” Matt 24:12, is being fulfilled in our time. Our prayer is: any power or any problem that will kill our love for God, blood of Jesus will destroy and flush them away from us, in Jesus name.

Good Day, we cherish your presence here. Thank you for your comments, observations, feedbacks and time spent on this platform.

Beloved! We are in perilous time when kidnappings, banditry and other vices have become daily occurrences. But the Lord is saying, fear not, be bold & be courageous!

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you shall not be a victim to whatever calamity flying around by day and by night, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Shalom!
