Losing Your Worth – Open Heavens for Teens 11 May 2019

Topic: Losing Your Worth [Open Heavens for Teens 11 May 2019]

Memorise: “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?” – Proverbs 6:27

Read: Proverbs 6:25-29

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Bible In One Year: 2 Kings 1-3, John 3:22-36

MESSAGE:

There is nothing that cheapens a man like fornication; there is nothing that destroys the destiny of a man, family, community or nation like sin. Proverbs 14:34 says sin comes with reproach. If you observe a decline in your grades or see that you have suddenly become an item of manipulation in the hands of men, check your spiritual state. It might be that you have dabbled into sin.

Proverbs 6:26 says: “For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.”

This is what fornication does. It takes away a person’s worth and turns him/her into a mere commodity. Fornication is very deadly, in fact, nothing kills faster than fornication. Stay as far away from it as you can. The Bible says you should flee from every appearance of evil. This means that even if it just looks like fornication, run from it, don’t wait to confirm if it is really a sin, run! Be wise.

Key Point: When you are in the right standing with God, you have everything under your feet.

Hymn 2:

1 When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, for theres no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3 Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4 But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5 Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Topic: Heaven on the Earth! (Open Heaven 11 May 2019)

Memorise: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”- Matthew 6:10

Read: Acts 14:5-11 (KJV)

5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

7 And there they preached the gospel.

8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:

9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 15-16, Jeremiah 33:1-11

Open Heaven 11 May 2019 Saturday MESSAGE:

When you have revelation of what heaven looks like, you will realize that no other experience can be more pleasant. The Holy Spirit makes it clear that it is indeed possible for us to experience the days of heaven on earth (Deuteronomy 11:21). When Jesus was here on earth, the disciples were actually experiencing heaven on earth. No wonder the Lord said to them in Luke 17:22b:

“The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.”

If you therefore want to understand what heaven on earth looks like, take a look at the life of Jesus here on earth and the experiences His disciples had at that time.

Heaven is a place where God is enthroned supremely and His will is done completely (Acts 7:49, Matthew 6:10). Experiencing heaven on earth therefore implies enthroning God’s kingdom here on earth and establishing His will over all situations. What is God’s will for man and how can it be established? According to Genesis 1:26, the will of God for man is dominion. The devil stole man’s dominion and became the prince of this world after he lured man into sin. This why he claims ownership of the kingdom of this world (John 14:30, Luke 4:6). The devil held sway until Jesus came to overthrow his illegitimate rule (Luke 4:18-19). For this reason, our Lord instructs us to pray that the kingdom of God should come. When God’s kingdom comes upon an individual’s life, there will be restoration of dominion and prosperity in the body, soul and spirit. There cannot be sickness in any body that exists in the kingdom of Jehovah-Rapha. There cannot be death in the kingdom of the Immortal God. Where the kingdom of Jehovah-Nissi holds sway, there can be no defeat or loss of power. Poverty cannot arise where Jehovah-Jireh, the El-Shaddai, reigns.

In today’s Bible reading, the people of Lystra, who did not know God, experienced heaven on earth. They even thought Paul and Barnabas were gods! When you experience heaven on earth in your life, you will also become a wonder. You can experience heaven on the earth if you enthrone God a king over your life by becoming born again. When you do this, Jesus will put an end to the kingdom of the devil that has hitherto dominated your life. When He reigns in your life, sin and all forms of calamity will be overthrown. As a child of God, to what extent have you allowed the principles of God’s kingdom to rule your life? Are there some “reserved areas” you would not want to cede over to God? Give God everything today, and let Him rule over your life completely.

Open Heaven 11 May 2019 Saturday Prayer Point:

Father, let Your kingdom come in my life. Overthrow the rule of self and of the devil over any aspect of my life, and begin to reign supreme in me from now onward.

1 When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3 Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,

Blessing for the Top by Pastor Paul Enenche

BLESSING SUNDAY – 5TH MAY 2019
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): DEUTERONOMY 28:1-2
MESSAGE TOPIC: BLESSING FOR THE TOP
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE
VENUE: DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE, GLORY DOME

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Pastor Paul Enenche

SERVICE OBJECTIVE: Understanding the relationship between the Blessing of God and the top position in life

It is clear throughout Scripture that the Blessing of God is a vehicle that takes people to the top positions of life and destiny.

The Blessing of God transforms nonentities into celebrities.

The Blessing of God turns victims to victors and captives into captains.

The Blessing of God turns destitutes to dignitaries and paupers into princes.

The Blessing of God produces outstanding stars out of ordinary men.
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, and David were ordinary men that became outstanding stars by virtue of the Blessing of God.
It is when people don’t study history that they end up in misery.

The Blessing has the capacity to take people up.

HOW THE BLESSING OF GOD TAKES PEOPLE UP:

  1. The Blessing of God establishes the Presence of God in the life of the Blessed and the Presence of God destroys limitations and creates access (Gen. 15:1; 17:1; 35:5; 39:2, 21)
  2. The Blessing of God establishes the favour of God around the life of the Blessed and when you carry favour you access influence (Ps. 5:12; Deut. 33:23; Esth. 2:15; Acts 7:10)
  3. The Blessing of God establishes the wisdom of God in the life of the Blessed, and the wisdom grants
    you stardom (Dan. 2:20; Gen. 41:39; Eccl. 8:1; Prov. 8:15)
    When you are blessed, unusual ideas that are not normal, breakthrough ideas that can generate billions are released to you
    When you are blessed, God can give you a solution that will revolutionalise your nation and put you in position
  4. The Blessing of God triggers the release of potentials from the life of the Blessed, and your potentials are the secret of your lifting and opportunities (Gen. 1:28; 9:1; 41:15-16; Prov. 18:16; 1Sam. 16:17-18,21)
    When you are blessed, your giftings and talents are released
    Back spirituality with potentiality and it will grant you opportunity
    When God opens a door for you, what people are looking for is what you carry
  5. The Blessing of God facilitates supernatural speed in the life of the Blessed, and speed grants you impact and exploits (Gen. 26:12-13)
    When a man has speed, he achieves in a short time what it takes others a lifetime to achieve
    Not everyone making noise is making progress; avoid the company of noisemakers and connect the company of newsmakers

Also Read: The Power of the Blessing by Pastor Paul Enenche

SECRETS OF THE BLESSING OF GOD:

  1. A life of obedience to God (Deut. 28:1-2, 13)
    Every area of life where you are arguing with God and negotiating terms with God, trying to do things your own way, you are disconnected from the Blessing
  2. A life with a clear conscience before God (Ps. 24:3-5; Heb. 12:1)
    To go up in life you must have a clear conscience and to gain speed, you must drop your weight (Heb. 12:1)
    Anything your conscience cannot account for is a weight.
  3. A life of soul winning (Isa. 52:7; Rom. 10:13-15)
  4. A life of covenant practice (Mal. 3:10-12; Ps. 72:10-15)

Pro-Life Activists Rally in Philadelphia after Rep. Brian Sims Harasses Teens and Elderly Woman Praying Outside of Planned Parenthood

Pro-Life Activists Rally in Philadelphia after Rep. Brian Sims Harasses Teens and Elderly Woman Praying Outside of Planned Parenthood



Major pro-life activists gathered together outside of a Philadelphia abortion clinic Friday morning after videos went viral of Pennsylvania state representative Brian Sims harassing pro-life teenagers and women praying outside of a Planned Parenthood.


CBN News reports that the rally – which was put together by pro-life activists Abby Johnson, Graham Allen, Lila Rose and Matt Walsh – welcomed hundreds of protesters to the sidewalk of the Planned Parenthood seen in the videos.


Lila Rose – the founder and CEO of pro-life organization Live Action – opened the rally by calling for the protection of human lives and the resignation of Representative Sims. 


She said, “We are here because we love life. Because we believe in the dignity and the right to live for every human being. Because we love and we respect every human life. And because the pro-life community will not back down to any harassment or bullying or hate.”


She continued, “We will not back down. We will stand up, and we will stand up with love and we will stand up because we know that we believe in the beauty and dignity of every life.”


Rose went on to call for Sims’ resignation noting that the behavior he demonstrated in the videos was unacceptable for anyone, let alone someone in an elected position.


She said, “As everybody…

Porn Is a ‘Public Health Crisis’ that Can Spark Crime, Arizona Legislature Says

Porn Is a ‘Public Health Crisis’ that Can Spark Crime, Arizona Legislature Says



The Arizona Senate this week passed a resolution calling pornography a “public health crisis,” two months after the state House approved the same text.


The resolution passed the Senate 16-13 and says porn “perpetuates a sexually toxic environment that damages all areas of our society.” It passed the House, 32-28, in February. 


Pornography, the resolution says, can lead to crime. 


“Pornography normalizes violence and the abuse of women and children by treating them as objects, increasing the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution and child pornography,” the resolution says. 


It further says the use of pornography has an “adverse effect on the family as it is correlated with decreased desire in young men to marry, dissatisfaction in marriage and infidelity.”


Children, the resolution says, are harmed, too.


“Due to the advances in technology and the universal availability of the internet, children are being exposed to pornography at an alarming rate, leading to low self-esteem, eating disorders and an increase in problematic sexual activity at ever-younger ages.”


Pornography, the resolution says, teaches children “that women are commodities for the viewer’s use.”


“The societal damage of pornography is beyond the capability of the individual to address alone,” the resolution says. “[T]o counteract these…

Make Yourself Happy – Rhapsody of Realities 11 May 2019

Rhapsody of Realities 11 May 2019 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – Make Yourself Happy

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES

Topic: Make Yourself Happy

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).

The recreated human spirit produces endless joy. Thus, it’s easy for every and any Christian to be happy, by simply choosing to be.

Someone who’s not happy about himself can’t make anyone else happy. It’s one of the ways you know people who are frustrated; they tend to pass it on. Don’t live that way. You have a responsibility, and a serious one at that, to make yourself happy, especially if you’re a leader at any capacity. God expects that you’ll give those under you godly examples. So, exude joy. Be happy. Under such an atmosphere of joy and gladness, a lot more can be accomplished.

The Spirit of God does more for and with us in an atmosphere of joy and happiness. The reverse is also true: Satan has a field day in the lives and environment of people who are moody and sad. Demons attach themselves to people to make them restless, confused, sad and depressed. This is why you must never give in to sadness or depression. Instead, allow the joy of the Lord well up in your heart. It’s something you do consciously.

When the squeeze is on, and things don’t seem to be working out as expected, laugh. Stir up joy from within. That’s the joy that lasts. When you stir up joy from your spirit like that, before long, irrespective of the daunting challenges, you’d find that there’s an unusual calmness in your spirit. The peace of God that surpasses all understanding will garrison your heart and mind in the Lord (Philippians 4:7).

You can be full of joy twenty-four hours a day, and you should. It’s God’s will for your life. In John 15:11, Jesus said, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” He’s given you joy that isn’t dependent on the happenings around you; joy that flows from your spirit and rubs off on everything else around you. Activate that joy today, through the Word and the Holy Spirit.

When things get tough, instead of wondering what to do and what the problem is, declare, “I refuse to be confused, depressed, or restless! I have the victory, because the greater One lives in me! His joy is my strength and I prevail gloriously in His Name.” Hallelujah! Remember, “…with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3).

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me such a beautiful, extraordinary, exciting, fulfilling, exceptional and excellent life; a glorious life that radiates joy, excellence and peace. Irrespective of contrary circumstances, your beauty, glory, grace and righteousness are seen and manifested in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Seal of confession in question

The Archbishop of York had urged that priests be allowed to report abuse to the police.

A working party report by the Church of England has been looking into abolishing the seal of the confessional, or at least parts of it.

 

The report suggests that “at present, the ‘seal of the confessional’ is upheld in the Church of England’s ecclesiastical law” and that The Working Party did not reach a consensus as to whether this should change.

The House of Bishops will consider the report next week and unless they decide differently, confessions of criminal acts will not automatically be reported to the police.

Phil Johnson, chair of the campaign group Minister and Clergy Sexual Abuse Survivors (MACSAS) told Premier that the Church had “missed an opportunity” to take the moral high ground and any admissions of child abuse must be reported to the statutory authorities.

“Forgiveness isn’t free, it requires contrition and atonement,” he said.

“It would be easy for the Church to insist that absolution of the sins of child abuse must involve the matter being reported to the statutory authorities.

“The law requires that a priest must disclose admissions of terrorism or money laundering in confession but not the sexual abuse of children.

“What is required is a change in the law so that all institutions are obliged to disclose admissions or allegations of child abuse to the police or…

2nd Governor Vetoes Bill Protecting Babies Who Survive Abortion

2nd Governor Vetoes Bill Protecting Babies Who Survive Abortion



Montana’s Democratic governor vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have protected babies who survive abortion, saying it interferes with “deeply personal medical decisions.”


Gov. Steve Bullock became the second governor this year to veto such a bill, following his counterpart in North Carolina. Wisconsin’s governor is pledging to veto a similar bill in his state. All three are Democrats. 


The bill, SB 354, passed the state Senate 32-18 and the state House 54-43. It was titled the “Montana Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.” 


“A health care provider performing an abortion shall take all medically appropriate and reasonable steps to preserve the life and health of a born-alive infant who is viable,” the bill says.


The abortion facility also must “call 9-1-1 for an emergency transfer of the infant to a hospital that shall provide medically appropriate and reasonable care and treatment to the infant,” according to the bill’s text. 


State Sen. Albert Olszewski, a Republican and the bill’s sponsor, said the bill would have prevented “legal infanticide.” 


“There is a national debate attempting to legitimize the intentional killing of a baby born alive if the medical provider and the parents deem or decide that it is necessary or should happen,” he told the Billings Gazette. 


A group of pro-choice groups – including Planned…

Prince of Wales regrets being ‘deceived’ by shamed Bishop Peter Ball

His statement came after Charles’s actions were described in an official report as “misguided”. 

The scathing findings of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) accused the Church of England of “putting its own reputation above the needs of victims” and offering secrecy and protection for abusers that allowed them to “hide in plain sight”.

 

It said Ball, a self-styled confidant to Charles, was an example of how a senior member of the Anglican Church “was able to sexually abuse vulnerable teenagers and young men for decades” while victims was largely ignored.

“Clericalism and tribalism” pervaded the Church, the IICSA said, affording offenders protection and resulting in an abuse of power.

On the prince’s role, the report said: “The actions of the Prince of Wales – in speaking about Ball with the (then) Archbishop of Canterbury (Lord Carey) and a member of Lambeth Palace, and the Duchy of Cornwall buying a property to rent to Ball and his brother, were misguided.

“His actions, and those of his staff, could have been interpreted as expressions of support for Peter Ball and, given the Prince of Wales’s future role within the Church of England, had the potential to influence the actions of the Church.”

Following publication of the report, a Clarence House spokesman said: “It remains a matter of deep regret to the prince that he, along with many…
