OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 20 FEBRUARY 2023 BIBLE READING REVELATION 3:19-22

[19]As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 20 FEBRUARY 2023 MESSAGE

Today’s topic is a call to repentance. Some people have shut the door of their hearts to God because of the fear of human condemnation, but until you open the door, He will not stop knocking. God is waiting for you to open the door of your heart.

According to our Bible text, for God Himself to seek a man, it not only shows how important the fellow is; it means the fellow has found grace and mercy from Him. God is a God of order who will not force Himself on anyone or come in uninvited. Hence, He will constantly knock until you open up your heart to Him.

Please hear His voice today and surrender because it will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship with Him. He will point out your errors without condemning you. He will also help you to make amends where necessary, then as you constantly fellowship with Him, He will guide you step by step on how to fulfil His purpose for your ife.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 20 FEBRUARY 2023 HYMN

WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 19 FEBRUARY 2023 MESSAGE

Disobedience is a deadly sin as written in our Bible text for today. Also, there is nothing like partial obedience: you either obey completely or disobey. The perfect example of the end of everyone that is disobedient is Lot’s wife who, after being commanded not to look back, disobeyed and eventually became a pillar of salt.

There are two things that can lead to disobedience: not taking a law/instruction seriously and daring the instructor to know if the punishment will really be meted out to the offender. Lot’s wife did not believe that God would really destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.

She clearly wanted to see what would happen if she looked back: unfortunately, she did not live to tell the story. If you do not want to end like Lot’s wife or worse, start taking God’s commandments seriously because all He has said concerning the end of sinners will definitely come to pass.

BIBLE QUIZ:

B. BIBLE TEXT: 2 SAMUEL 11:14-17

14. And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

3. SELF-CONTROL CAN BEAT AND OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS, Daniel 1:8

4. SELF-CONTROL CAN MAKE YOU EXCEL – It helps students perform better in exams and stay mentally sharp

When you look at the story of Saul of Tarsus who later became known as Paul the Apostle, he himself said in (1 Timothy 1:15): This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

In (2 Corinthians 11:5) he however, said: For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. God moved him from being the chief of sinners all the way to being compared to the very chiefest of Apostles.

Today’s message is primarily for someone who has been struggling with one sin or the other; God can transform you so greatly that you would become one of the saints of your generation.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. – (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

What you need for that transformation to take place is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Once the Holy Spirit is within you, you will become a whole new person. Study your Bible regularly; His sanctification power is in the word (John 17:17), spend time beholding the face of the Lord by praying without ceasing and meditating on the word of God.

(2 Corinthians 3:18) says: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

If you do all these things consistently, you will soon discover that those sins that so easily beset you (Hebrews 12:1) will become history.

OPEN HEAVEN 19 FEBRUARY 2023 KEY POINT

If you invest your time in studying the Bible and praying, you will be empowered to live holy.

OPEN HEAVEN 20 FEBRUARY 2023 BIBLE READING HEBREWS 11:8-10

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Children of God can have great dreams and be confident they will come to pass because their heavenly father is the Alpha and Omega (Revelations 1:8). Children of God who put all their faith in Him can rest assured that God can bring their dreams – no matter how great – to pass because He is the only one that can declare the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9-10).

No matter how great your dreams may be, God can bring them to pass if you have faith in Him. God himself said in Habakkuk 2:4 that the just shall live by faith.

(2 Thessalonians 1:3) tells us that faith can grow. Since your faith is a significant ingredient in the manifestation of your dreams, you must feed and grow it by listening to, studying, meditating and praying the word of God diligently.

In Mark 4:35-41, the Lord asked His disciples why they had no faith, but in Matthew 6:30, the Lord said to them, “O ye of little faith”, meaning that they now had faith, though little. Your faith can even grow further to become great faith (Matthew 15:21-28). Your future can actually be far better than your dreams; all you have to work on is your faith.

Beloved, your faith must grow. When you hear me talking about my aspirations and dreams, I am only saying such great things because of how much faith I have in my God who is almighty.

Before I was born again – when I had no faith, my greatest ambition was to be a Vice Chancellor-the youngest Vice-Chancellor in Africa. By the time I got to know Jesus and surrendered my life to Him, I began to understand that my natural mind could not even imagine how far He could take me.

Now, I have learnt to dream big because I have a God who can do truly great and mighty things. God rewards those who have faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6), so dream big and have faith in God that He will bring all your dreams to pass.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 FEBRUARY 2023 MEMORIZE: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

OPEN HEAVEN 21 FEBRUARY 2023 BIBLE READING ROMANS 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 FEBRUARY 2023 MESSAGE

The Bible reading for today tells us that the day you became born again, God gave you a ‘measure of faith’. Ephesians 2:8 says that by grace you are saved through faith. In other words, if there isn’t that measure of faith, there won’t be salvation at all. This also implies that faith can grow from the measure given at salvation or remain stagnant.

For faith to grow, we must take certain steps. Our study today would focus on one of the steps, which is ‘hearing the word of God’. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. – (Romans 10:17)

The first way your faith can grow is by hearing the word of God. Some people wonder why we keep coming to fellowships, listening to sermons and reading the Bible; it is so that our faith can grow. In Psalm 119:130, the Bible says: The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

The more the word of God comes into your heart, the more light you have and the more understanding you get. It’s like someone who is driving a car at night; if the headlights are bright, he or she can move fast, otherwise the person would be compelled to move slowly. If the headlights were to go out completely however, the driver would be forced to stop.

Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The more you study the word of God, attend Sunday School and Bible Study sessions as well as listen to sermons, the greater your faith and the brighter your future too.

God expects us to be deliberate about growing the faith we received at salvation. If however, you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour, you should do so right away so you can also begin to grow your faith In God.

Study the word of God every day.
