OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS
DATE: SUNDAY JULY 28TH 2024
THEME: BE HELPFUL
MEMORISE:
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Proverbs 12:24
READ: PROVERBS 22:29
[29] Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
MESSAGE:
It is the order of nature that as a teenager, your parents are responsible for your well-being and upkeep. However, you must reciprocate their care by having a good sense of responsibility. You should help them with house chores, cooking, running errands, et cetera.
One thing my mother didn’t allow me to indulge myself in was laziness. Despite being her last child, she ensured that I was involved in every activity at home. Although she allowed me to play football with my friends and attend village events, I always had a lot to do at home. She was keen on me becoming great, especially because I was her only male child. Every time I ran an errand for her, she would say, “Adejare, thank you. When you call one person, 200 will answer you.” Today, my mum’s prayers have become a reality to the glory of God.
Do you want to be blessed? If yes, then laziness should be eradicated from your dictionary forever. Let your parents feel your impact whenever you are at home.
KEYPOINT:
If you want to be great, serve your parents.
HYMN 9: DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
CHORUS
O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word.
2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.
3. Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.
4. Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
