Open Heavens 2022
Date: 2022-12-16
Topic: COVER YOUR CHILDREN

Memory Verse: Zechariah 13:7 – ….smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. Zechariah 13:7
Bible Reading: Job 1:4-5

Message: Many a time, when the devil wants to attack a family, he goes by the principle that If you cannot get the trunk, go for the branches; if you cannot get the father, go for the son. If you cannot get the mother, go for the daughter. He then begins to attack the children. In Matthew 15:21-28, the woman that I came to Jesus Christ said, “The devil is vexing my daughter”. In Matthew 17:14-18, a man came to Jesus Christ and said, “The devil is vexing my son” In 1 Samuel 2:22-36, the Bible tells us that it is the sons of Eli that I destroyed his legacy. For many Christians, the only problem they have is with their children. That will come to an end today, in Jesus’ name

Many years ago, I was invited to preach to a group of eminent personalities in lkoyi, Lagos, Nigeria and I had prepared to minister on the topic “You need a miracle”. I was told to sit in the sitting room of the host while other guests arrived. From where I sat, I could see four other sitting rooms in ascending order of splendour. I wanted to change my topic because I believed that this fellow did not need a miracle at all. God then spoke to me and said, “The family needs a miracle more than you know”. They had one son and he was a drug addict. When his mother refused to give him any more money to buy drugs, he decided to deal with her and so, when she was travelling, he planted drugs in her handbag. She got to Britain before she was found out and arrested but she was able to wriggle her way out of the problem.

After the sermon, the Almighty God stepped into the situation, the boy gave his life to Christ, and the yoke was destroyed. I decree right now: the Almighty God will convert every child giving you trouble, in Jesus’ name.

Start covering your children with the blood of Jesus right from when they are young. The Bible says that the blood of Jesus has power to overcome the devil. When the devil sees the blood of Jesus on your children, he will run away. Every single day, ensure you cover your children with the blood of Jesus. Don’t wait until you see any signs of them misbehaving, cover them from now. The devil’s plan will fail over your children, in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: O God Our Help In Ages Past
Points: Start covering your children with the blood of Jesus ry day from now.
Bible in one year: 1 Timothy 1, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Timothy 3, 1 Timothy 4, 1 Timothy 5

Title: O God, Our Help In Ages Past.
Chorus: null.

  1. O God, our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home.

  2. Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defence is sure.

  3. Before the hills in order stood

Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same.

  4. A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone
Short as he watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

  5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream

Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

  6. O God, our help in ages past

Our hope in years to come
Be thou our guard while trouble last
And our Eternal home.
