OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 7 NOVEMBER 2021 MESSAGE
Many people judge themselves periodically but judge others consistently. While they are mild on themselves and make excuses for their own actions, they are hard on others and make no room for them. It’s an act of wickedness when you judge others by their actions but judge yourself by your intention.
For instance, Lady A castigated lady B for forgetting her Bible at home during service, she said that lady B had become forgetful of the things of God and was now tilting towards worldliness.
But some days after, lady A got angry at a fellow church member to the point of exchanging slaps. Thus, between ladies A and B, who is actually worldly? Don’t be quick to judge others because God, the Ultimate Judge is watching you so that He can also use the same yardstick you have used for others to judge you (Matthew 7:2 ).
If you don’t give others a second chance, you may not get another chance yourself.

If you don’t show mercy, do not think people are wicked when they fail to show you mercy.

AMAZING GRACE
1. Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
2. ‘Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
4. The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5. When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
