TOPIC: The Blessings Of God 4 (Open Heaven for Teens 1 July 2024)
MEMORISE: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 91:16
READ: Ephesians 6:1-4
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
MESSAGE
“The silver-haired head is a crown of glory. If it is found in the way of righteousness”. – Proverbs 16:31 (NKJV)
One of the blessings that God has bestowed on His children is long life. This is evident in our memory verse for today. The Bible says that you will be satisfied with long life; therefore, no matter what happens in the world, you cannot die young. No matter the number of diseases and infections in the world, you will not die young. You will live old and wax strong in the Lord. Again, the memory verse shows that the Lord promised long life to those who have been saved. In other words, He wishes those who are His children long life. I prophesy to you, you will live long, in Jesus’ name.
Also, today’s Bible reading says that for you to live long, you must honour your parents and elders. Honouring your parents is the only commandment that comes with a promise. If you do not respect your elders, you will not become an elder. Therefore, it is not debatable. You must obey your parents if you want to live long. Never insult, disrespect, or provoke them to anger. They are your gods on earth, and just as you would not provoke God, you must not provoke them. If you do so and they curse you out of anger, it will surely come to pass, except God shows you mercy. The ball is in your court, and I believe you will do the right thing.
KEY POINT
To access the blessing of long life, honour your elders.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 18:13-19:37 Acts 21:1-17
HYMN: Nearer, My God To Thee
1. Nearer, my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
2. Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee
3. There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou send’st to me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee
4. Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony grief
Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God to thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
5. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving thy sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly
Still all my songs shall be,
Nearer my God to thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
