TOPIC: It Won’t Be Long (Open Heaven for Teens 15 October 2024)

MEMORISE: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: – Matthew 25:31

READ: Matthew 25:31-34

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

MESSAGE:

When I gave my life to Christ in 1973, many preachers advised their congregations to stop acquiring material resources or academic degrees because they presumed that they would be a waste as the second coming of Jesus was imminent. Consequently, many students dropped out of school, and some people sold their properties. They focused on building their spiritual lives and winning more souls, but people like me chose to pursue academic excellence in order to stay relevant on the earth while storing up treasures in heaven as well.

Many of those who believed Jesus would come over 40 years ago are no longer alive. Some of us are still looking forward to the rapture when the angels will sound the trumpet, and Jesus will take us home. I do not pray that you die young, but whether He comes by rapture or through an encounter with death, my dear child, please ensure that you are prepared for the second coming of the Lord.

ACTION POINT
Live every day as if it is your last on earth.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Jeremiah 26:1-27:22, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

HYMN 57: Must I Go And Empty Handed?

1 Must I Go And Empty Handed?
Thus My Dear Redeemer Meet?
Not One Day Of Service Give Him,
Lay No Trophy At His Feet?

Refrain:
Must I Go, And Empty-Handed?
Must I Meet My Saviour So?
Not One Soul With Which To Greet Him?
Must I Empty Handed Go?

2 Not At Death I Shrink Or Falter
For My Saviour Saves Me Now
But To Meet Him Empty Handed
Thought Of That Now Clouds My Brow

3 Oh, The Years In Sinning Wasted
Could I But Recall Them Now
I Would Give Them To My Saviour
To His Will I’d Gladly Bow

4 O Ye Saints, Arouse, Be Earnest
Up And Work While Yet ’Tis Day
Ere The Night Of Death O’er Take Thee,
Strive For Souls While Still You May.
