Open Heaven 15 September 2022 TOPIC: Who Do You Belong To?
MEMORISE: In this the children of
God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not
righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 3:10
READ: 1 John 3:8-10 (KJV)
8. He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil.
9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 26:1-21, Ezekiel
27:1-36, Ezekiel 28:1-26
Open Heaven 15 September 2022 MESSAGE:
Many people claim to be Gods children; however, it is only those who truly
follow in the footsteps of Jesus that are genuinely His children. 1 John 3:10
further confirms that those who do righteousness are Gods children while those
who do evil belong to the devil.

September 2022 –You Shall Laugh Last
Anyone who is not living in righteousness is not a child of God. A fellow
who is not bearing the fruit of God will bear that of Satan. How can you
continue to tell lies and still think you are a child of God? How can you
change figures in the office, with the claim that you are borrowing and will
pay back? That act, of course, is stealing because you are taking what is not
yours without permission.
The Bible says in John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts
of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
Beloved, please take time to think about this. If you are not living a
righteous life, you should not bother calling yourself a child of God at all.
In any case, Jesus Christ said in John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:”
You can deceive everyone now, but when judgment comes, you would not be
able to deceive God because He knows His own. Jesus said He will send away all
those who call Him Lord and even perform miracles in His name but still live a
sinful life (Matthew 7:21-23).
On that day, you will be sent to the one who you really belong to,
depending on who you behave like – whether it is Christ or the devil. On the
side of Christ, it is paradise, and on the side of the devil, it is the lake of
fire and torment. You make the choice now with whose behaviour you emulate.

HYMN: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS, O GOD MY FATHER
1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.
CHORUS:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
2. Summer and winter, and spring time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide!
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
