TOPIC: Different Types Of Children (Open Heaven for Teens, 10 March 2025)

MEMORISE: So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Galatians 4:31

BIBLE READING: Galatians 4:19-31

19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

MESSAGE:

There are many categories of children, and I will be discussing some of them today. The first category of children are those that can be referred to as ‘prodigal’ children as seen in Luke 15:11-24. May you never become a prodigal son or daughter who squanders the blessings of your parents, in Jesus’ name.

In Matthew 3:17, God referred to Jesus as ‘My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.’ This is the kind of son I want to be – the kind of son that God will look down on and say, “This is My son whom I love so much.” You too can be this kind of child to both your parents and your heavenly Father.

Another category of children is those who bring grief to their fathers. The Bible says, “A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him” (Proverbs 17:25).

Psalm 14:1 also says that a fool is one who says that there is no God. It goes on further to say that a fool is a corrupt person. Beloved, ensure that you acknowledge God in all that you do. Also, ensure that you never cause your heavenly Father grief.

ACTION POINT:
As you flee from those who look at people lustfully, do not look at others lustfully also.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 14:1-15:16, Mark 14:53-72

HYMN 55 – Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose

1 Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!”

2 Principalities And Powers,
Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.”

3 Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.”

4 Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!”

5 Hear, Above AlI, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.”

6 Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
