Open Heaven 1 June 2022 TOPIC: Love Gives
Memorise: Hereby perceive we the love
of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16
Bible
Reading: Romans 8:31-37 (KJV)
31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be
against us?
32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how
shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that
justifieth.
34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is
risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession
for us.
35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
BIBLE IN YEAR: Job 36:1-33, Job 37:1-24, Job 38:1-41, Job 39:1-30
Open Heaven 1 June 2022 Message
In 1 Corinthians 13:13,
faith, hope, and love were described as abiding. The verse however, went
further to say that love is the greatest amongst them. God loved us first
before we could love Him in return (1 John 4:19).

When a person has a good understanding of God’s love for him or her, it is
as if a veil is removed from the fellows eyes; he or she would suddenly begin
to love God in return and then become free from all the shackles of this sinful
world.
God loves us so much that He considers nothing too big to give to us.
Romans 8:32 says: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
If God could give us the greatest gift ever – His Son (John 3:16), nothing
is too big for Him to give to you. Nothing! God gives to us because He is
committed to loving us.
He expects us to love our neighbours and give to them too. 1 John 4:21
says: “And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also.”
How much do you love those around you? How much do you love your colleagues
in the office? One day, a young man came for one of our Holy Ghost Services in
Nigeria and saw his aunt in the middle of the crowd.
He screamed, Aunty, so you come here too? She said, I just started coming
and he said, Oh, I have been coming for many years now. She became angry with
him because he had found the light a long time ago but didn’t introduce her to
Christ.
She was furious that he didn’t warn her that she was on the way to hell.
Are you going to be heartless too and watch your family members go to hell? You
have found the light, why not tell them about Jesus? Why not invite them to
Church with you?
Why not make it a duty to give them this devotional every year, hoping that
even if they refuse to surrender their lives to Christ, one day God will lead
them to read it and see something that will touch them there. If you truly love
your neighbour, you will lead them to that gift that the Lord has given to you
salvation.
Open Heaven 1 June 2022 PRAYER POINT
The greatest gift you can give to show someone that you love them is the
gospel; don’t hold it back.
Open Heaven 1 June 2022 HYMN:
WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE
1. Wonderful story of love;
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love;
Wake the immortal strain!
Angles with rapture announce It,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, oh, won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love.
CHORUS:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful, Wonderful story of love.
2. Wonderful story of love;
Through you are far away;
Wonderful story of love;
Still He doth call today;
Calling from Calvary’s Mountain,
Down from the crystal-bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation,
Wonderful story of love.
3. Wonderful story of love;
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love;
For all the pure and blest,
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus,
Wonderful story of love.
