Open Heaven 6 December 2023 MESSAGE
There is one thing that many people take for granted, and that is the power of taking notes. Many people need to take notes while listening to sermons and wonder if they know what they are missing.
A famous saying is that the faintest pen is more intelligent than the sharpest brain. You miss a lot when you don’t take notes. My professor of mathematics, who got his Ph.D. in 1928, told us that you have to read something ten times to remember it all. If you have yet to take notes, how will you read it over again to retain it?

Some messages are not very easy to swallow when you hear them, but one day, the Holy Spirit may take you back to that note and then open it up to you on a deeper level. It is even more concerning when ministers of the gospel who expect the congregation to take notes when they are preaching don’t take notes when other ministers are preaching. If you don’t have a notebook, at least you can use a note-taking app on your smartphone or tablet. When a sermon is going on, the Holy Spirit is likely to whisper some things into your ears; they could be prophecies or instructions. You need to write those things down so that you remember. Also, as the preacher is speaking, to help you practice what is being preached, you may need to write down one or two actions you will take in line with the sermon. You also need to write down aspects of the address or passages of the Bible that you would like to conduct a deeper study on.
You must understand that these notes are treasures you and others coming after you can gain. At the Open Heavens International Centre, there are some of my old sermon notes from over 30 years ago; they are treasures for many who visit the gallery to draw lessons from.
In Revelation 1:19, God told John to write the things he was seeing down as a treasure for us today to know what will come in the end time. We also saw similar instances from our memory verse and Bible reading today. Beloved, you should take notes whenever you listen to or study God’s word.
Open Heaven 6 December 2023 KEY POINT
Make it a habit to always take notes.

1 Holy words long preserved,
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God’s own heart;
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Ancient words, ever faithful,
Changing me and changing you,
We have come with open hearts;
Oh, let the old words impart.

Give us strength, help us cope,
In this world, where ever we roam,
Ancient words will guide us home.

Handed down to this age,
Came to us through sacrifice;
Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ.
