OPEN HEAVEN 9 MAY 2025 FRIDAY: YOUR LIFETIME

OPEN HEAVEN 9 MAY 2025 MEMORISE: This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Psalm 24:6

OPEN HEAVEN 9 MAY 2025 READ: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

OPEN HEAVEN 9 MAY 2025 MESSAGE

A person’s lifetime is the period between the fellow’s birth and death.

Today’s Bible reading says that there are seasons for everything and a time for every purpose under heaven.

Everyone is assigned to a purpose here on earth, and after a while, regardless of whether they fulfil their purpose or not, they die.

Once you leave the earth, another generation will come on the scene and play their own part according to God’s design (Ecclesiastes 1:4).

The question is, during this period when you are playing your own part, will you make a mark in the sands of time? Will you fulfil your destiny or just pursue mundane things?

David followed after God so much that He called him “…a man after mine own heart…” (Acts 13:22).

Little wonder he lived such an impactful life and is still regarded as Israel’s greatest king up until today.

Another fellow, Methuselah, was only known for his day of birth and death.

He was the oldest man recorded in the Bible, and apart from the fact that he had sons and daughters, nothing else was written about him (Genesis 5:25-27).

Enoch, on the other hand, walked with God, and this made his lifetime count (Genesis 5:24).

When a fellow walks with God and does His will like Enoch and David did, the person’s lifetime will count.

The impact of that fellow will be felt long after he or she has crossed over to eternity.

God seeks a generation of people who will fear, love, and follow Him wholeheartedly.

David called this generation ‘the generation that seeks God’s face’ (Psalm 24:6).

When I was younger, people had shops with small peepholes that could only accommodate a person’s hand.

If someone wanted to buy something, the shop owner would stretch his or her hands through the peephole to collect the person’s money and pass the goods out, after which the fellow would leave.

However, if the fellow insists on seeing the shop owner, the shop owner would open the door so they can meet face to face.

Beloved, God wants you to seek His face and not just the blessings in His hands.

If you want your life to matter, don’t focus on the things you can get from Him; seek His face so you can have access to Him.

Don’t only ask God for material things; ask Him to show you His face so that when the world looks at you, they will see His glory (Exodus 34:28-35).

Seek God’s face and live according to His will so your life can make an impact in the world.

 

OPEN HEAVEN 9 MAY 2025 HYMN 7:

I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]
3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]
