TOPIC: Substitutes Abound [Open Heaven for Teens 19 January 2023]
MEMORISE: And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD. – 2 Samuel 6:21
READ: 1 Kings 5:5
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
MESSAGE:
In the game of football, there are substitutes for the players on the pitch. They are usually on the sidelines waiting to replace those who get injured or perform below standard. These substitutes are always ready to play, but they are likely not given the opportunity until towards the end of the football game.
God always has a substitute for anyone who misbehaves. Thus, that you are the leader of a group/department doesn’t give you the right to speak rudely to other members of the group. When King Saul disobeyed God, He quickly replaced him with David, a man after His heart. My child, when placed in any position, never misuse it or become proud.
Beloved, you should always see any task given to you as a privilege, not a problem, because the fellow who assigned the task to you has substitutes in case you default. Execute each assignment with joy and to the best of your ability.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please do not replace me in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 11-13
HYMN 13 – Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour
- Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
CHORUS
Saviour Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
- Let me, at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief. - Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. - Thou, the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me.
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee
