Open Heaven 15 June 2026 TOPIC – Be Rich In Good Works
MEMORISE: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
READ: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (KJV)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 56-61
Open Heaven 15 June 2026 MESSAGE
I once spent the night in the house of a wealthy man, and he invited me to stay for breakfast. When I got to the dining table, I was presented with a variety of dishes to choose from. There were so many options that I became overwhelmed and began to long for the simplicity of the meals in my house.

Beloved, I have spent a little over 80 years in this world, and I have realised that it takes really simple things to truly enjoy life. It is good to be wealthy; however, if people make their material possessions the focus of their lives to the extent that even regular things in their lives become complicated, it can lead to depression.
In today’s Bible reading, Paul urged Timothy to tell those who were rich in the church he was overseeing not to be high-minded but to be rich in good works. God doesn’t give people wealth so they can flaunt it; He blesses people with wealth so they can be good stewards of His resources. Any fellow who hoards what God has given him or her will not enjoy happiness because it is always more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). God wants His children to be rich in good works. He wants them to be like the women in Luke 8:2-3 who used their resources to minister to Jesus and advance His earthly ministry. The blessings that God has given to you should be used to bless others.
No matter how big your house is, you cannot sleep in all the rooms in it at the same time. No matter how rich you are, it will be foolish to wash your hands with oil instead of water because you will only be causing trouble for yourself. Life is simple; it should not be complicated in the process of trying to flaunt wealth. Many people have fallen into a state of depression because they allowed their wealth to distract them from the simplicity of life.
Beloved, the only way the wealth God blesses you with can truly make you happy is when you are rich in good works like feeding the poor, supporting missionaries on mission fields, building churches, and expanding God’s kingdom in whatever way you can. Therefore, rather than spending your money on the most expensive things you can get, use it to make an impact for God’s kingdom in the world.

Are you rich in good works?
Open Heaven 15 June 2026 HYMN 24 – 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.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
