TOPIC: Stirring Up Violence? [Open Heaven for Teens 26 July 2023]
MEMORISE: The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and that loveth violence his soul hateth. Psalm 11:5
READ: Psalms 11:3-5
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 41-43
MESSAGE
Our Bible text shows a link between violence and foundation as if to say that no one becomes violent without having a model in his foundation years.
The only form of violence tolerated by God is one that you put up against the devil when he is contending with your faith or wants to derail you from making it to Heaven. Any other type of violence against any human is highly prohibited and is considered a sin.
As a child educator, I have deciphered that children form habits, characters and attitudes based on imitation: they replicate what they see elderly people around them do. Therefore, you are a product of the direct influence of your parents or environment. If your upbringing is characterized by violence and evil behaviours, I want you to surrender to Jesus today. I have seen many elders today who were once violent in their youth, but as they crucified their flesh daily, God changed them.
Please seek godly counsel with regards to anger management and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
ACTION POINT:
You become what you take in, so stay away from violent audio and video content.
HYMN 5 – Take My Life And Let It Be
- Take my life and let it
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow ceaseless praise. - Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee - Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my king;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee. - Take my sliver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose. - Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne, - Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
