TOPIC: Fear God [Open Heaven for Teens 10 December 2023]

MEMORISE: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10

BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 39:7-9

7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

MESSAGE:

We live in a world where some preachers teach that God is not wicked and will not punish His children when they do wrong because we are in the time of grace, thus, encouraging young Christians to misbehave. My child, truly. God is love, but He is also a Consuming Fire. This is the reason Apostle Paul asked the question,”Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” The obvious answer is NO.

In the passage for today, Potiphar’s wife wanted Joseph to sleep with her, but he refused. No one would have known if he had done it, but God would have taken a record of it. Joseph could have also said that he would do it and later ask God for forgiveness like some Christians do, but he fled instead because he feared God.

My child, sin can rob you of your relationship with God and the great future ahead of you. If Joseph had slept with Potiphar’s wife, he might have been made a big man in Egypt, but his destiny would have been cut short like that of Reuben, his elder brother (Genesis 49).

HYMN 11 – O Lord My God! When Am In Awesome Wonder,

1. O lord my God!
   When am in awesome wonder,
   consider all
   The worlds thy hands hath made
   I see the stars,
   I heard the rolling thunder
   Thy pow’r thro’ out
   The universe displayed
2. And when I think
   That God, His Son not sparing
   Sent Him to die
   I scare can take it in;
   That on the cross,
   My burden gladly bearing,
   He bled and died
   To take away my sin.
3. Then through the woods
   And forest glads I wander,
   And hear the birds
   Sing sweetly in the tress;
   When I look down
   From lofty mountain grandeur
   And hear the brook
   And feel the gentle breeze;
4. When Christ shall come
   With shout of acclamation
   And take me home,
   What joy shall fill my heart!
   Then I shall bow
   In humble adoration
   And there proclaim,
   My God how great Thou art!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Philippians 1-4
