OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 WEDNESDAY: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST II

OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 MEMORISE: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Romans 12:5

OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 READ: 1 Corinthians 12:18-27

18. But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19. And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20. But now are they many members, yet but one body.

21. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

23. And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

24. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

25. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 MESSAGE:

I started discussing yesterday about the impact of the day of Pentecost and how Christians must be focused and separated from the world for us to experience such a revival again.

Another thing I must point out is that on the day of Pentecost, the disciples were in one accord. If we want to see the power of the Holy Spirit in action, there must be love and unity in the Body of Christ, irrespective of denominations.

Psalm 133:1-3 says that God commands a blessing when people are united. It didn’t say that God gives a blessing; it says that He commands a blessing.

In other words, He says, “Blessing, you must manifest.” When there is genuine love and unity among the members of a church or fellowship, there is absolutely no doubt that every member of that fellowship will be blessed.

God’s power will not manifest in a divided church or family. Unity attracts God’s presence, just as sugar attracts ants.

Likewise, if a church is full of strife, jealousy, and all sorts of carnal works, God’s power will be far from that church.

Paul had to rebuke the Corinthian church for having factions. While some said that they were for Paul, some claimed that they were for Apollos (1 Corinthians 3:4).

Paul called them carnal for their disunity. The Body of Christ is one, and if we want to experience God’s power and presence like on the day of Pentecost, we must lay aside our petty differences and focus on the One whose name we bear – Jesus Christ. 

We cannot attack one another and expect God to dwell among us.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. Galatians 5:15

In the Scripture above, we see that when we live in disunity, we will consume one another.

Many believers have injured other members of the Body of Christ with their words and actions.

We must stop this and live in love and unity so that God’s presence and power can truly be manifested among us.

Loving one another and being united is a sure way of showing the world that we are truly Jesus’ disciples (John 13:35).

We should not let unbelievers reject the gospel because they do not see love among us as Christians.

The body of Christ must unite. Gossiping, backbiting, and unhealthy competition among denominations must stop if we want to experience a true revival by the Holy Spirit.

Father, please help me to love others as myself and let there be unity among Christians.


 

OPEN HEAVEN 2 APRIL 2025 HYMN 59:

I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

1. I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one marked an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak.

2. I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met His Father there.

3. I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To anyone unkind.

4. I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said,
“He hath done what he could.”

5. I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
“Let little children come to Me,”
I would obey the call.

6. But oh, I’m not like Jesus,
As anyone may see;
O gentle Savior, send Thy grace,
And make me like to thee.

OPEN HEAVEN 17 JANUARY 2025 MESSAGE For every action or inaction, there are consequences. This is why you should consider it a great privilege when you have people around you who can correct you whenever you do something wrong so that you do not have to suffer terrible consequences.
