OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 22 OCTOBER 2024 MEMORISE: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 22 OCTOBER 2024 READ: 2 Chronicles 27:1-6
1. Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
3. He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4. Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5. He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
6. So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 22 OCTOBER 2024 MESSAGE
Jotham was 25 years old when he began to reign, and he ruled Jerusalem for 16 years.
Jotham was considered a good king because he did what was right in the eyes of God. He recognised the importance of serving God from observing his father.
Therefore, throughout the course of his life, he sought the Lord, and God blessed him tremendously for being faithful to Him.
Some teenagers do not choose their fathers or mothers as role models because their lives are not worthy of emulation.
On the other hand, many teenagers have parents who live uprightly and who are mentors to other children, but they’d rather not follow their lifestyles.
This was the case with Prophet Eli’s children in 1 Samuel 3; they didn’t emulate the lifestyle of their father, and they ended up badly.
If you have godly parents or guardians, follow them as they follow Christ.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 22 OCTOBER 2024 ACTION POINT
If you have godly parents or guardians, let them influence you in your walk with God.

LEAD US HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1. Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be.
2. Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel Its Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go.
3. Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
