MEMORY VERSE: For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” 1 Cor. 9:16.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Shortly after the baptism and wilderness experiences of Jesus Christ, His earthly ministry started with the preaching of the gospel and ended with the commissioning of the disciples for the same assignment (Mk 1:9-14; Matt 28:18-20).

INTRODUCTION: Shortly after the baptism and wilderness experiences of Jesus Christ, His earthly ministry started with the preaching of the gospel and ended with the commissioning of the disciples for the same assignment (Mk 1:9-14; Matt 28:18-20). Without doubt, this must have been an issue topmost in the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ for all generations.

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 6 JUNE 2021

OUTLINES
1. A Must For All Believers
2. The Message Is Simple

A MUST FOR ALL BELIEVERS
The Lord commands all believers to go and preach the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20), the power and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). A refusal to preach, as Apostle Paul was concerned, is a curse (1 Corinthians 9:16). It is a duty that is not limited by seasonal changes, societal, spiritual or marital status (2 Timothy 42; Acts 18:26).

The Lord does not want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9;1 Timothy 2:4). He promises rest for the weary, rescue for the perishing soul and everlasting life for the repentant sinner (Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 61:1-3; John 3:36). He remains our Advocate with the heavenly Father (1John 2:1-2) and His blood still cleanses from all sins (1John 1:7).

Therefore every believer must see the task of preaching the gospel and soul winning as an inevitable one (1 Corinthians 9:16). Do not shy away from it (Romans 1:16).

However, to do this divine assignment profitably, you need godly wisdom (James 1:5-8; Acts 17:15-34), a heart of compassion (Matthew 9:36; 23:37) and the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 4:31; 16:16-18).

THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE

The word from the beginning (John 1:1, 14) makes it abundantly clear that all souls are His (Ezekiel 18:4) and that these souls have all sinned (Romans 3:23).

Whosoever confesses and forsakes his or her sins will obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13; 1John 1:8-10) since the grace of God in Christ Jesus will grant him or her eternal life (Romans 6:23). This is a new covenant in the blood of Jesus, which alone can atone for the sins of the whole world (Hebrews 9:14).

CONCLUSION: If the Lord Jesus Christ saw the preaching of the gospel as unavoidable, then, believers therefore have no excuse. He
has promised that we will do greater works (John 14:12) and that He will be with us always (Matthew 28:20). Pray and obey now.

QUESTIONS
1. Why is the preaching of the gospel a must for all believers?
2. Give a summary of the simple message.

BIBLE TEXTS: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Galatians 5:19-21

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 6 JUNE 2021

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Moral according to the english dictionary is concerned with principles of right and wrong behaviours. Morality is perceived as the ability to know and do what is acceptable before God and the society.

Immorality on the other hand is the violation of moral laws, norms or standards. Morality refers to things that are right while immorality has to do with things that are wrong. It is evil, sinful, or otherwise wrong behaviour.

It manifests in the following areas:
– sexual immorality (bestiality – sexual intercourse between human and animal, homosexuality / lesbianism, masturbation, rape, incestuous, transsexuals and so on)
– drug abuse
– stealing or armed robbery
– negative influence of social media
– peer group influence
– love for money and material things etc.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21
i. The bible emphasizes through our texts especially 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 the grieveousness of immorality as a sin.
ii. That, it is a sin committed against the body.
iii. We must flee from it.

LESSON OUTLINES:
A: CAUSES OF IMMORALITY INCLUDE:
1. Over pampering of children. – Proverbs 23:13-14
2. Parental negligence. – 1 Samuel 2:29
3. State of the economy (poverty, joblessness)
4. Negative peer influence.
5. Negative influence of the social media.
6. Idleness (David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11:2-5)

10. Clubbing and partying.
11. Being alone with the opposite sex.

2. Drug abusers are more susceptible to diseases like cancer of the brain and lung.

ACTIVITY: What are the causes of immorality?

SUMMARY: Guard your heart jealously because immorality starts from there.

CONCLUSION: The bible in James 4:7 says “Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Also Psalm 24:3-4 and Matthew 5:8 tells us to know that it is impossible to maintain a healthy intimacy with God when our bodies and souls are given over to impurities of any kind.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 JUNE 2021 MESSAGE

Giving is not difficult as some think.

When you give, you act as your Heavenly Father who has freely given us many blessings – the gift of life, good health, salvation, provision, security, sound memory, functioning body parts, et cetera.

Many teenagers like to be on the receiving end; they keep asking to get whatever they need.

They make no effort to give at all, forgetting that those who give will never lack any good thing.

If you think you don’t have anything to give, sit and figure out what you’re spending your pocket money on.

If they are not important, scrap them and save so that you will have something to give to others in need or Gods work.

There was a time I gave out a few of my ties. Before I knew it, I received many new ties in return.

When I gave out shoes, I was given many pairs of beautiful new ones. You will always reap what you sow.

When next you’re wishing someone close to you a happy birthday, make sure you get him or her a gift, no matter how small.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 JUNE 2021 KEY POINT

Whatever leaves your hand will never leave your life. Give and you will receive.
