OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS
DATE: MONDAY 3RD OF OCTOBER, 2022.
THEME: THE JUST GOD
MEMORISE
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. Psalms 7:11
READ: 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8
6. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
MESSAGE:
In a school setting, no student gets promoted to the next class unless he/she has passed his/her examinations. We can therefore say that ones success in a promotional examination would determine if he/she would be upgraded to the next class. This same rule is applicable to ones destination on the last day.
Many people think God is wicked for creating Hell. I hope you are not one of them. God is not wicked, instead, He is just. It is this attribute of His that made Him create Heaven for the obedient and Hell for the disobedient. In fact, the Bible tells us in Matthew 25:41 that Hell was originally created for Satan and the fallen angels, not humans. This same God made man in His image and likeness. Thereafter, He gave us the will to choose how we live our lives but you must note that your lifestyle on earth will determine your destination at last. Thus, God would not send a righteous fellow to Hell.God is so just that He would not allow the righteous to suffer. If I were you, I would be righteous.
KEY POINT
Your lifestyle on earth will determine your eternal destination.
HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND
1. When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound
and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks,
eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.
CHORUS
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.
2. On that bright and cloudless morning,
when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of his resurrection share;
When his chosen ones shall gather
to
their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.
3. Let us labour for the Master from
the dawn till setting sun;
Let us talk of all his wondrous
love and care.
Then, when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.
