TOPIC: Exceptional Apprentice [Open Heaven for Teens 24 June 2022]
MEMORISE: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:19
READ: John 5:5-9
- And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
- When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
- The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
- Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
- And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 7:1-60, Job 1-3
MESSAGE:
An apprentice is someone who is attached to a master to learn a trade so that he/she can become like the master someday. An apprentice sees how his/her master sources raw materials , manufactures his / her products, negotiates the selling price with customers, builds customer relationships et cetera. He/she watches the footsteps of the master and tries to replicate them.
Jesus saw Himself as an apprentice of His own Father. This is why, during His earthly ministry, He did everything based on what He had seen His Father do. As a child of God, you must follow suit. You must emulate what Jesus has modelled for you in His word and practice it daily so that you can become like Him. When you do this, you become an apprentice. However, the Lord expects you not just to be an apprentice, but an exceptional one.
To be an exceptional apprentice, you must not stop at the works that Jesus did, you need to exceed them in your home, school, Church, community and country (John 14:12 ). You can do this by performing miracles and impacting lives with the love of God. You already have what it takes to do this as a co-heir with Jesus.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please help to be an exceptional apprentice to Jesus.
HYMN 10: Let Others See Jesus In You
- While passing through this world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
- Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you? - What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you. - Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
