OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS WEDNESDAY 2ND MAY 2018: BE KIND

MEMORISE: But love ye your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil. Luke 6:35

Please read: Ephesians 4:31-32

MESSAGE:
As a child of God, it is expected that you should be kind to everyone around you regardless of
their tribe, culture, religion, colour or orientation.

Open Heaven 3 May 2018

You must never be wicked or look down on anybody. You must always look out for ways to be of help to people who need your assistance.

When the Lord Jesus was on earth, it was never
recorded that He was unkind to anyone. We are
supposed to look up to Jesus Christ and model our life after His own. This means that if He was kind to everyone, we also have to be kind to everyone too.

When you see an elderly person
struggling with carrying something heavy, kindness will make you offer to assist such a
person with what they are carrying.

Another reason why it is important to be kind at all times is because you may actually
unknowingly perform an act of kindness towards
an angel or God Himself. Abraham is a classic example of someone who was kind to strangers and got rewarded with his greatest heart desire – a son. Be kind

ACTION POINT:
Be kind to everyone, you don’t know who might be fighting an internal battle and your act of
kindness will make his/her life worth living.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 3-5
Luke 23:1-26

Hymn 13
1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Open heaven 3 May 2018 Thursday – AFRAID OF DEATHS?

Open heavens 3 May 2018 Memorise: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

Read: John 5:19-29 Open heaven 3rd May 2018

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2018 DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE

Everyone prefers life to death, and this is the reason why we all do everything humanly possible to stay alive. The question is, do we need to struggle to keep ourselves alive? In response to this, Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:27 & 34 said:

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

The reason why people worry about life and death can be viewed from two perspectives. Firstly, most people don’t know the source or essence of true life. Secondly, many do not know how to conquer death because they are ignorant of the truth that death has already been conquered.

Today’s Bible text speaks extensively on the true source of life, and I pray that your heart will grab the full understanding of this in Jesus’ Name.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 MAY 2018 THURSDAY

Why do people die? A careful study of Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:2-7, Romans 1:28-32 and Romans 6:23 would answer this question. These passages of the Bible reveal God’s warning to Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, man’s blatant disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit and God’s judgement that followed thereafter. Open heaven 2 May 2018

We can therefore say that men die today because of sin. Death is a consequence of the nature and lifestyle of sin. However, we don’t have to live under the fear of death any longer, because our Lord Jesus Christ has given us the assurance of being partakers of the victory He won over death at Calvary. In John 14:19 He said:

“Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.”

Although the wages of sin is death, the gift of God for all those who believe in Jesus Christ is eternal life. Apostle Paul’s testimony in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 assures us that death has been conquered for us. The Holy Spirit further expounds this truth in Hebrews 2:14-15 saying,

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

We are more than conquerors through the victory won for us by our Lord and Saviour. You therefore have no reason to be afraid of death if you belong to Him. Do you belong to Him?

Action Point – Open heaven 3 May 2018

Banish the fear of death from your hearts and thank God for liberating you from its power.
