TOPIC: The Best Armour [Open Heaven for Teens 2 December 2021]

MEMORISE: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

READ: 1 Samuel 17:37-40

  1. David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
  2. And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
  3. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
  4. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 47-48, 1 John 1:1-10

MESSAGE:

An adage says: Its what a bird eats that enables it fly high. As a child of God, its what you feed on that will determine how high you fly. This implies that your level of preparedness will determine your level of victory. David was a young shepherd boy who moved around with his sling and stones. He became so attached and daily used them till they became weapons with which he killed both a lion and bear. No wonder he defeated Goliath using them. King Saul had earlier proposed a different armour which looked sophisticated and perfect to human eyes but David refused saying, I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them.” (1 Samuel 17:39).

Life is a constant battle, some people win while some others lose because of their choice of armour. In our case, Jesus is the surest weapon against the enemy. Are you or a family member passing through a difficult time and someone is suggesting that you or your parent consult a witch doctor or use other means? They are only fooling you. You cannot fight Satan using his methods. Revelation 12:11 says and they overcame him by the blood of Jesus. This armour can never fail you.

ACTION POINT

Accept Jesus into your life and invite Him to fight all your battles for you

HYMN: IN CHRIST ALONE

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found
    He is my light, my strength, my song;
    This Cornerstone; this solid ground;
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm;
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my All in All
    Here in the love of Christ
  2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
    Fullness of God in helpless babe
    This gift of love and righteousness
    Scorned by the ones He came to save
    ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
    The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid
    Here in the death of Christ I live, I live.
  3. There in the ground His body lay
    Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory
    Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ
  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
    This is the power of Christ in me
    From life’s first cry to final breath
    Jesus commands my destiny
    No power of hell, no scheme of man
    Can ever pluck me from His hand
    Till He returns or calls me home
    Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
