Open Heaven 8 September 2021 Topic: And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? GENESIS 3:9
READ: 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5-8 (KJV)
5. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in
the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye, not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6. But I trust that ye shall know that
we are not reprobates.
7. Now I pray to God that ye do no
evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is
honest, though we be as reprobates.
8. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: LUKE 3:1-38, LUKE 4:1-44
Open Heaven 8 September 2021 MESSAGE:
l am convinced that the question God asked of Adam long ago Where
art thou? (Genesis 3:9.) is as relevant today as it was then.
It is not a question that an individual should wait for God to ask
him or her, but rather one that each person should ask him or herself at any
given time.
A sincere approach to answering this question would do one a world
of good, both in this life and eternity.
From the day a person is born, the fellow begins a return journey
to where he or she is from (Ecclesiastes 12:1-7).
That is why people normally ask How old are you? and not How young
are you? No matter how young you are, you are growing older every day. Hence,
God, Himself asks where you are now.
You should ask yourself the same question regularly. Ask yourself
How far have I gone in fulfilling the purpose of my life and salvation?.
To answer this serious question, you need to first of all answer
some of the following: Where was I yesterday and where am I today?

2021 – Prayer For Youths
Am I increasing spiritually or decreasing?, Am I increasing
financially or decreasing? The truth is that it is the will of God that His
children should have all-around prosperity.
Are you really bearing fruit? Your assessment of where you were in
the past and now will tell you whether you are really serving the purpose of
your existence. This is very important.
Since you gave your life to Christ, how many souls have you won
for Him?, Since you gave your life to Christ, what is the level of your growth
in the service of the Lord?.
It is unfortunate that some people gave their lives to Christ some
ten, fifteen years ago yet remain benchwarmers while some who came in three,
four years ago have become pastors and Church leaders, flourishing in one
ministry gift or another.
God has also planned that we should prosper financially and
materially. If you are not prospering financially and materially, could it be
that you have been hiding from your Creator, the Redeemer of lost destinies?.
Could it mean that your sins have not been forgiven because you
have not genuinely repented of them?.
Could it mean that you have not been obedient to the word of God?,
Could it be that you have been hypocritical about your Christian walk?
You can experience a great turnaround today. Jesus is calling Son
of man, where are you? I expect if you have not yet positively responded to
this call, that you would say Here I am Lord. God bless you as you do so, in
Jesus name.
Open Heaven 8 September 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Do a self-evaluation and cry to God according to
your findings.

September 2021 HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN
JESUS
1. What a
Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins
and griefs to bear!
What a
privilege to carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
Oh, what
peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what
needless pain we bear-
All because
we do not carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
2. Have we
trials and temptations?
Is there
trouble anywhere?
We should
never be discouraged,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a
Friend so faithful
Who will all
our sorrows share?
Jesus knows
our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a
load of care?
Precious Saviour,
still our refuge,
Take it to the
Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends
despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the
Lord in prayer.
In His arms, He’ll
take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a
solace there.
