OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS
DATE: SATURDAY, JULY 1ST OF JUNE, 2023
THEME: BACKSLIDING
MEMORISE: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
MESSAGE
Backsliding is the act of going back to the sin that was once repented of. The Bible says that
a backslider is not fit for the kingdom
of God, as God does not delight in him/her at all.
The end of a backslider is usually not good because God isn’t involved in any area of his her life. Satan uses different schemes such as bad association, Lukewarmness, prayerlessness, non-meditation on the word of God, unforgiveness, et cetera, to try to distance believers from God in order to make them backslide.
When a believer backslides, the sense of God’s presence leaves him/her and he/she becomes open to the manipulation of the devil. As a child of God, I encourage you to do the things that please your Heavenly Father always and be wary of any form of backsliding.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HYMN 3 – ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
1. All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
CHORUS
I surrender all.
I surrender all:
All to Thee, my blessed saviour
I surrender all
2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3. All to Jesus I surrender.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
