OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 FEBRUARY 2022 MESSAGE

You may be wondering if I celebrate Valentines Day. Well, I do. Actually, I celebrate it every day because it is associated with love.

Love is the true essence of our message as Christians and if you don’t show love to people around you, your salvation is questionable.

Though Valentines Day is usually associated with romantic love (which should be expressed by married couples only), I encourage you to express the God-kind of love today by giving good gifts to your friends, family, teachers and the needy around you.

I always use this as an opportunity to give special gifts to my husband, children and grandchildren, encouraging them to do likewise.

Also, a lot of teenagers experience loneliness or anger because they don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend to share romantic love with.

This is against the word of God. It’s time to do away with that feeling of inadequacy or infatuation and wrong perception of love painted on social and other media.

Jesus is the true definition of love and He loves you. Concentrate on loving Him back and don’t get carried away by infatuations.

Tomorrow is Valentines Day and there is so much noise in the air already. You may even have a date already or bought a gift for your val.

I would like you to take a chill pill first and ask yourself these questions: Why am I giving the fellow a gift? Why am I celebrating Vals day? What is Val’s day about? If you can answer those questions truthfully, I would like you to ask yourself again, is it worth it?.

Many people celebrate Vals day without even knowing the meaning and why. There are different stories of who St. Valentine was and how Valentines Day became a yearly celebration.

However, it is tagged lovers day and many people are defiled in the spirit of this celebration. My child, are you giving that gift to that boy/girl tomorrow because he/she is your lover? If he/she asks you for sex, would you succumb?.

Remember, you are a child of God and you are to flee any form of sexual sin. If you have so much to give out, give to the needy around you, not in the name of Valentine’s Day. Let the wisdom of God guide you.

IN CHRIST ALONE

1. In Christ alone my hope is found

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home

TOPIC: KINGDOMNOMICS (PART 1)

BIBLE PASSAGE: GENESIS 26:1-6,12-22

[1] And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

[2] And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

[3] Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

[4] And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

[5] Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

[6] And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

[12] Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

[13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

[14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

[15] For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

[16] And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

[17] And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

[18] And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

[19] And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

[20] And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

MEMORY VERSE: “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.” Genesis 26:12

INTRODUCTION: ‘Kingdomnomics’ is a contraction for “Kingdom Economics”. Simply put, economics is the study of the use of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited human wants.

The term kingdom, in this context, refers to the realm in which God’s will is fulfilled. It is the domain of God’s operations over His people (those who are born again).

While there are basic economic principles in the world system, people of God are expected to also understand and live by the economic principles of the kingdom which will not only make them profitable in this world but also lay imperishable treasures for them in Heaven.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. ENTITIES IN KINGDOM ECONOMICS
2. 2. BIBLICAL ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES
ENTITIES IN KINGDOM ECONOMICS

There are three key entities in kingdom Economics: God (the Creator), Man and resources (everything man can use of interact with in this world, including time, talent, and treasure). We can think about each of these entities as being a circle. You relate to God and to your resources, and these circles must relate to each other.

GOD YOU RESOURCES

Some approach their resources based on their beliefs about God while others approach God based on their resources needs. For some these two circles never even intersect, having nothing to do with each other.

Jesus said that one of these “circles” will actually become the master of the other-you will serve God or money (Matthew 6:24). How you relate to these two circles will make a far-reaching statement about who you are, how you live, and who you are becoming.

BIBLICAL ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES
Principle No.1: Godliness- The foundation of success in any economic endeavour is godliness (Exodus 23:8; Deuteronomy 16:19; Psalms 37:25; Matthew 6:33; 1 Timothy 6:6-11).

Principle No.2: Obedience- Do whatever God lays on your heart to do in line with the word of God (Genesis 12:1-4; Deuteronomy 28:1; Isaiah 1:19; Isaiah 30:21; John 2:5; Hebrews 3:15).

Principle No.3: Creativity-God has given unto everyone gifts/talents, creative abilities and grace to acquire skills (Ex.31:3,6; Ex.35:30-35; Matthew 25:14-15; Luke 19:12-13).

Principle No.4: Giving and Generosity- The more you give the more you get (Psalms 112:9; Proverbs 11:24; Proverbs 19:17; Luke 3:11; Luke 6:38; 2Corinthains 9:7).

Principle No.5: Sowing and Reaping- Seed time and harvest time shall not cease (Genesis 8:22; Ecclesiastes 3:2b); the quality and quantity of what you sow determines what you reap (Galatians 6:7; 2Corinthians 9:6).

Principle No.6: Risk and Faith- Those that are afraid of taking risk will not attempt new things (Proverbs 22:13; Proverbs 26:13; Ecclesiastes 11:4-6).

Principle No.7: Investment- Believers should tap into the various investment opportunities around them (Ecclesiastes 11:1-6; Isaiah 32:20).

Principle No.8: Labour/Diligence- There is dignity in labour (Proverbs 6:6, 10-11; Proverbs 10:4; Proverbs 12:24,27; Proverbs 13:4; Proverbs 14:23; Proverbs 18:9; Proverbs 21:5; Proverbs 22:29; 2Thessalonians 3:10).

Principle No.9: Effective time management- Time is irredeemable resource given to man (Ecclesiastes 3:1; Ephesians 5:16).

Principle No.10: Favour and Relationship- Favour flavours labour and birds of the same feather flock together (Psalms 102:13; Proverbs 13:20; Ecclesiastes 9:11; Romans 9:16).

CONCLUSION: Use your time, talent, and treasure for God’s kingdom. You will not only experience a life of opportunity, impact, and legacy here on earth but you will also be laying up for yourself treasures in the kingdom of Heaven.

1. Who are the entities in kingdom Economics?
2. 2. Mention five (5) biblical Economics principles.

LESSON OUTLINES 1. ENTITIES IN KINGDOM ECONOMICS
Teacher should list and explain the three key entities in kingdom economics, their relationship in the light of Jesus’ injunction in Matthew 6:24.
i. There are three key entities in kingdom Economics:
ii. God (the Creator),
iii. Man
iv. resources (everything man can use of interact with in this world, including time, talent, and treasure).

B. We can think about each of these entities as being
a circle.

C. THE RELATIONSHIP: You relate to God and to your resources, and these circles must relate to each other. For instance:
i. Some approach their resources based on their beliefs about God.
ii. Others approach God based on their resources needs.
iii. For some these two circles never even intersect, having nothing to do with each other.

D. JESUS INJUCTION: Jesus said that one of these “circles” will actually become the master of the other-you will serve God or money (Matthew 6:24). How you relate to these two circles will make a far-reaching statement about who you are, how you live, and who you are becoming.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Class should discuss how believers should relate with God and their resources.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BIBLICAL ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES

The following are some of the biblical economic principle that believers are expected to live by:

i. Principle No.1: Godliness- The foundation of success in any economic endeavour is godliness (Exodus 23:8; Deuteronomy 16:19; Psalms 37:25; Matthew 6:33; 1Timothy 6:6-11).

ii. Principle No.2: Obedience- Do whatever God lays on your heart to do in line with the word of God (Genesis 12:1-4; Deuteronomy 28:1; Isaiah 1:19; Isaiah 30:21; John 2:5; Hebrews 3:15).

v. Principle No.5: Sowing and Reaping- Seed time and harvest time shall not cease (Genesis 8:22; Ecclesiastes 3:2b); the quality and quantity of what you sow determines what you reap (Galatians 6:7; 2Corinthians 9:6).

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 FEBRUARY 2022 MEMORIZE: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 FEBRUARY 2022 BIBLE READING GENESIS 17:1-2

1. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 FEBRUARY 2022 MESSAGE

God will not give His children conditions they cant fulfil. For example, when Apostle Paul was down with an infirmity God told him in 2 Corinthians 12:9: *“… My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”*

The same Paul later said in 2 Timothy 4:7 that he had fought a good fight, finished his course and kept the faith while still alive.

This means he embraced the grace of God and became perfect before Him to the point that he was bold enough to say he had finished well. This can be your testimony too if you close your ears to those who say no one can be perfect or holy, we are all sinners, et cetera.

From the moment you genuinely gave your life to Christ, your walk to perfection began. Keep yielding to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

Crucify your flesh daily and you will become more like Jesus with every passing moment. You can be as perfect as your Heavenly Father.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 FEBRUARY 2022 PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me the grace to become as perfect as You are.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 FEBRUARY 2022 HYMN

I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine, O Lord,
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise
in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me nearer,
nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer,
nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to
Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up
with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight
of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer,
and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
