OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2020 MEMORIZE: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2
OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2020 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 7:1-5
1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2020 MESSAGE
As Christians we must resist the urge to hastily take positions on both public and private issues without making proper findings.
It is very easy to judge others, even more so now with the advent of social media.
Though a crime suspect is yet to be pronounced guilty by a competent court, a lot of people would have made conclusions already about him/her especially if the suspects appearance portrays him/her as a criminal.
People are especially good at speaking out against things they find offensive.
Sadly, their focus may be on the person, instead of the action.
In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus cautions us against judging others in a hypocritical way.
We shouldn’t be habitually critical of others when we need correction as well. Only God’s judgements are flawless (John 8:15-16).
Don’t be quick to condemn someone else’s actions.
God is patient, but He would not overlook anyones disobedience (Romans 2:1-5).
Don’t attack people; be a good example for others (Romans 14:13).
While believers are not to condemn others, we are however not to ignore or condone sin. There is a difference between the judgement in Matthew 7:2-5 and the righteous judgement that comes with discernment. John 7:24 says:
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”
If you see another believer falling into sin, you should confront the person in a respectful and loving way.
In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus teaches us to judge sin, not the sinner.
The ultimate goal of confronting a believer who is backsliding is so the fellow can repent and abide.
Thus, when we judge sin, let it be done in meekness with the goal of repentance and reconciliation.
This is the will of God (Galatians 6:1).

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2020 HYMN
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE
1. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’ en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
2. Though, like a wanderer
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee.
3. There let me see the sight,
An open heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angles to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
4. Then, with my walking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise,
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
5. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
