TOPIC: Divine Priorities [Open Heaven for Teens 15 May 2023]

MEMORISE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

READ: Philippians 2:5-8

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 29-31

MESSAGE

Today’s Bible reading reveals how our Lord Jesus Christ prioritized His mission of redeeming humanity through His death. and that He didn’t mind going through humbling and humiliating experiences just to fulfil His assignment.

Beloved, seek God’s interests by doing His will, preaching the gospel, and giving to the needy: all other things, such as peace, wisdom, and excellence, will be added unto you. The memory verse clearly says seeking the kingdom of God should be the basis of all your priorities in life: all other things will fall in line afterwards. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case today. There is a disconnection between the priorities many people set for themselves and the ones the Almighty God has set for their lives. Some teenagers want to ride the best cars and live large so that people can say that they have ‘arrived’. This attitude has pushed many into heinous crimes such as cybercrimes, ritual killings, et cetera.

My dear child, put God before your dreams and He will bless you beyond your expectations.

KEY POINT

Put God first in everything you do, and you will have no regrets.

HYMN 9 – O Jesus, I Have Promised

1. O Jesus, I have promised
   To serve Thee to the end;
   Be Thou for ever near me,
   My Master and my Friend:
   I shall not fear the battle
   If Thou art by my side,
   Nor wander from the pathway
   If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2. O let me feel Thee near me;
   The world is ever near;
   I see the sights that dazzle,
   The tempting sounds I hear;
   My foes are ever near me,
   Around me and within;
   But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
   And shield my soul from sin.
3. O let me hear Thee speaking
   In accents clear and still,
   Above the storms of passion,
   The murmurs of self-will;
   O speak to reassure me,
   To hasten or control;
   O speak and make me listen,
   Thou Guardian of my soul.
4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised
   To all who follow Thee,
   That where Thou art in Glory
   There shall Thy servant be;
   And, Jesus, I have promised
   To serve Thee to the end;
   O give me grace to follow
   My Master and my Friend.
