OPEN HEAVEN 12 June 2021 TOPIC: Be A Good
Under-Shepherd
MEMORISE: Feed the flock
of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but
willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; – 1 Peter 5:2
READ: Matthew 28:19-20
(KJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 1-2
Open Heaven 12 June 2021 MESSAGE:
The
situation in Jeremiah’s time as seen in today’s Bible reading closely reflects
the true state of affairs of God’s people. The Bible says that all these were
written as examples for those who shall be alive at the end-times. The ongoing
fulfilment of end-time prophesies is an indication that the end is near (1
Corinthians 10:11). In this end-time, many pastors and preachers are no longer
building precious stones on the Sure Foundation – Jesus Christ. Rather they are
building rubble, that is, basing their sermons on modern ideologies in order to
make Christianity acceptable to the 21st century generation. 1 Peter 2:2 says:
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
may grow thereby:”

Many modern-day pastors and ministers of the gospel are failing
to live by Apostle Paul’s instruction in 2 Timothy 4:2,5:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine…But watch thou in all
things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of
thy ministry.”
The Bible encourages ministers of the gospel against negligence in their service. Ezekiel 3:11 says:
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY 12 JUNE 2021
“…go, get thee to them of the
captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear…”
Ezekiel was also told not to consider their unfriendly
countenance but rather give the word as he was asked to (Ezekiel 2:6).
As a Christian parent, you need to take cognizance of today’s
message for your family. Your home is the God-given flock you are to nurture in
the fear of the Lord.
Followers however, also have the duty to crosscheck what they
are being taught by their leaders, like the Berean Christians (Acts 17:11).
Are you a shepherd or a wolf? Think about this and may the Lord
grant you understanding in Jesus’ Name.
Be a good under-shepherd, building your flock not on the rubble
of modern ideologies but on the solid foundation of the word of God. Ensure
that you study and teach the undiluted word of the Good Shepherd.
Open Heaven 12 June 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Pray
for all genuine ministers around the world, that they will preach the gospel
without fear or favour.

Heaven 12 June 2021 HYMN 8: Ho, My Comrades! See The Signal
1.
Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.
Refrain:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
2.
See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;
Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!
3.
See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.
4.
Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!
