Open Heaven 23 April 2024 MESSAGE
There are times we go in the wrong direction due to our human nature. For example, we had quite a good bargain when we purchased the first four acres of land that has now expanded to become Redemption City. As time went by, we kept buying more land even though the price was increasing. After we had bought about a thousand acres, some people spoke to me and said, “Why are you buying lands in this bush? There are other things to spend money on,” and I listened to them. However, one night, God said to me, “Son, who called you? These people or Myself? Who promised you a city instead of a boy’s quarters?”. I woke up and made up my mind to keep buying more land, but by then, what used to be 1,000 naira had gone up to 50,000 naira. Today, we have over 40,000 hectares, and we are still buying more. If you are moving in the opposite direction of God’s will for your life, God will step in today and bring you back to the right path, in Jesus’ name.

A fellow might have done something terrible in the past which made it impossible for him or her to reach some goals. An individual can commit a crime and end up with a life sentence. Even though that fellow’s case may seem hopeless, God can step in and turn things around.
In Genesis 49:1-7, Jacob, on his deathbed, cursed Levi because of some sins from his past, but God stepped in and gave Levi an opportunity to be restored. In Exodus 32:25-26, Moses returned from the mountain and found out that the children of Israel were dancing naked before an idol. He cried out, “Who is on the side of the Lord? Let him come to me.” Everyone belonging to the tribe of Levi crossed over to Moses and became his army. God looked down from heaven and said, “That curse on you is cancelled!” Levi missed it earlier, but he got on God’s side and was restored.
God can step in to give you hope again. I however have some questions for you: are you on the Lord’s side? Do you do His will? Are you committed to serving Him alone? If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, God will step in and bring you back to the path of fulfilling your destiny, in Jesus’ name.

Father, I am on your side. Please step into my situation and let me fulfil Your plans for my life.
Open Heaven 23 April 2024 HYMN 14 – O What A Wonderfully, Wonderfully Day
1 Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day
Day I Will Never Forget
After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away
Jesus My Savior I Met
Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend
He Met The Need Of My Heart
Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling
He Made All The Darkness Depart
Chorus
Heaven Came Down
And Glory Filled My Soul
When At The Cross
The Savior Made Me Whole
My Sins Were Washed Away
And My Night Was Turned To Day
Heaven Came Down
And Glory Filled My Soul
2 Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above
Into God’s Fam’ly Divine
Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love
Oh What A Standing Is Mine
And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made
When As A Sinner I Came
Took Of The Offer Of Grace
He Did Proffer He Saved Me
Oh Praise His Dear Name
3 Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure
After The Passing Of Time
I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure
There In Those Mansions Sublime
And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day
When At The Cross I Believed
Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal
From His Precious Hand I Received

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)
