TOPIC: You Are A Leader [Open Heaven for Teens 1 October 2023]

MEMORISE: And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. Genesis 39:4

BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 39:3-6

3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Malachi 1-4

MESSAGE:

A fellow doesn’t have to be an elected official or be in an exalted position to lead. Whether in day-to-day life, at school, or in the workplace, a leader is someone who leads by example and provides guidance and direction. A fancy title doesn’t make someone a true leader: qualities and responsibilities do. So, don’t wait until you are given a position/portfolio before you act like a leader.

A true leader is not known by the attire he or she wears but by the heart of genuine care for people. He or she will definitely have some weaknesses but will focus more on his/her strengths for the betterment of his/her environment. One quality that stood Joseph out amongst his brothers was his genuine concern for everybody. He would take food to them in the field and check on their well-being under his father’s instructions. While in prison, Joseph was also an active listener who paid attention to people’s dreams to give accurate interpretations. When he became the Prime Minister of Egypt, he led by example, no wonder Pharaoh favoured his father and brothers when they relocated to Egypt. Can God trust you to lead in any capacity he places you in?

HYMN 15 – Onward, Christian Soldiers

1 Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.

CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.

2 At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.

3 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.

4 Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail.

5 Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King”,
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
