TOPIC: Victory Over Sin (Open Heaven for Teens 24 July 2024)
MEMORISE: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:11
READ: Romans 6:10-14
10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
MESSAGE:
The death of Jesus Christ on the cross made a lot of things accessible to us, such as the blessings of God, redemption, transformation of life, and most importantly, victory over sin.
This journey of victory begins by knowing who you are in Christ and seeing yourself the way God sees you. Even though God’s grace has been made available to all men, He requires us to do our part by cooperating with Him.
One of the ways to claim your victory over sin is by resisting sin and satan. When the devil prompts you to go to unholy places and buy or look at things that stir up sinful passions in you, you should resist him and his schemes in the name of Jesus. Your resistance is a way to express your love for God and show that you honour Him.
Beloved, you know the people and things that tempt you to commit sin; therefore, avoid them. Don’t visit or welcome someone of the opposite sex alone, don’t sit in an exam hall beside someone who engages in exam malpractices, and don’t stay among friends who make jest of their teachers, elders, and other people. Fill your heart with thoughts of pleasing God, and you will walk in victory over sin.
KEY POINT:
Stay away from things and places that you cannot tell your parents and pastor about.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 11:1-13:22 Romans 8:26-39
HYMN 50: Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
1. Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We,
Thro’ The Precious Blood Of Christ We’ve Victory
If The Lord Be For Us, We Can Never Fail,
Nothing ‘Gainst His Mighty Pow’r Can E’er Prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors Are We, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
God Will Give Us Victory, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
Thro’ The Lamb For Sinners Slain,
Yet Who Lives And Reigns Again,
More Than Conquerors Are We,
More Than Conquerors Are We.
2. In The Name Of Israel’s God We’ll Onward Press,
Overcoming Sin And All Unrighteousness;
Not To Us, But Unto Him The Praise Shall Be,
For Salvation And For Blood Bought Victory.
3. Unto Him That Overcometh Shall Be Given,
Here To Eat Of Hidden Manna Sent From Heav’n,
Over Yonder He The Victors Palm Shall Bear,
And A Robe Of White, And Golden Crown Shall Wear.
