OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2026 WEDNESDAY: BEAR FRUITS FOR CHRIST I
OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2026 MEMORISE: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 (KJV)
OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2026 BIBLE READING: JOHN 15:14-16
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2026 MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus said that He appointed His disciples to bear fruit and that their fruit should remain.
The word ‘fruit’ here means souls. Jesus has made it clear that only those who obey His commands are His friends, and whatever they ask of His Father in His name, He will give them.
Those who are closest to me are soul winners because I know soul winning is paramount in the heart of God.
I am determined to keep winning souls until I die. Even if there are no opportunities, l will create them so I can tell others about Jesus.
Someone once said that it wasn’t recorded that Jesus celebrated His birthdays and then criticised me for celebrating my birthday.
I appreciated him and told him that God uses my birthday celebrations to win more souls into His kingdom.
God has chosen us to bear fruits that abide in His kingdom; we must use every avenue we have to pursue this.
It is sad that many people don’t take evangelism seriously. Jesus commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, as we see in today’s memory verse.
He didn’t ask us to go only where we are accepted or where things are easy; He asked us to go into all the world, whether things are rosy or not.
When God gives us an assignment to go, we must go.
In Acts 16:6-40, Paul had a vision where he saw a man beckoning him to come to Macedonia to help them.
Before this time, He had made some attempts to preach the gospel in some cities in Asia, but the Holy Spirit forbade him.
One would think that because God asked him to go to Macedonia, there would be no opposition or trouble.
However, shortly after Paul and Silas got there, they were beaten and imprisoned.
Yet, this didn’t stop them from preaching the gospel. People who are not ready to face hardships will not go far in obeying Jesus’ commandment to go into all the world to preach the gospel.
Beloved, sometimes, as you preach the gospel, people will reject or mock you.
However, be of good cheer whenever that happens. Jesus said that anyone who suffers persecution for His sake will have a bountiful reward (Matthew 5:11-12).
Keep preaching the gospel at all times, whether it is convenient or not, and you will continue to shine as a star forever (Daniel 12:3).
Commit to preaching the gospel at every opportunity you have.
OPEN HEAVEN 11 FEBRUARY 2026 HYMNAL 12:
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
2 At the sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]
3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.
[Refrain]
4 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
This thro’ countless ages
men and angels sing.
[Refrain]
